“The WP is the propaganda arm of the CIA. They plant these stories to shape public opinion. We are being manipulated.”
I suspect that most of these ‘reports’ are coming from Biden Administration types to manipulate Trump.
One HUGE problem though, Trump’s top people (4 and counting, so far, including the VP) COMPLETELY understand how the West started this war, so it’s very unlikely that the Neocons will make any progress with him.
That is only a problem if the interested parties fail to see we are now playing poker with the jokers added to the deck. 5 of a kind is the new highest hand.
These reports impact Trump’s efforts to end this 10 year proxy war globally. They are trying to shape the negotiations and expectations. It is not a matter of influencing Trump, but rather, Congress and the public. There are plenty of neocons in Congress.
