Russo-Ukrainian War 2014-26

Treason

It'd be interesting to find out the source though...did Rubio leak it (There are some to thing he was sandbagged by this whole circus and this is part of infighting against Vance)?...the other theory I've heard is that the Kremlin leaked it (because they want to sabotage any peace plan, believing they are on a winning momentum in the war).

Just based on the two conversations/three personalities leaked...my money is on the FSB/SVR.

The call was on an unsecured cell phone. There are dozens of countries that could have intercepted that call.

Sure...but who leaked it?

(I expect you to answer...everyone but the US would be rushing to do so.  )

My guess is a european country. No idea who, but yeah I don't see a downside to show how compromised Witkoff/Vance/Driscoll are.

Rest easy, on very short notice, Orban is visiting Moscow on Friday. Probably receiving new orders.

[The Minsky Moment]

I would guess most likely it was leaked from inside the US.  Given all the risks, Bloomberg would not have published unless they were pretty certain the recording was authentic.  That would rule out hackers.  A reputable European intel agency source would be possible, but that would be extremely risky if ever traced back.  We know there are divisions on Russia policy within the GOP camp and there are still people in the US intel community that aren't happy about the policy.

What's the land swap going to look like? Belgorod and Kursk Oblasts for Luhansk and Donetsk?
