Suckupracy: A style of government promoted by Trump that copies Putin. A supreme leader to whom players align with, in order to get handouts. This type of government functions on adoration.

Hi Diane

I very much enjoyed your interview and the earlier article on the Kursk invasion. I wonder whether some parallels with the 1968 Tet offensive are appropriate. Although the hoped for widespread uprising didn’t materialise and many thousands of PARV/VC troops died it was regarded as an important political turning point in the US.

Diane: Thank you for posting this. Your Substack helps me keep up with what is happening in the war in Ukraine. Mainstream media including NYT does not offer as much substance.

Commie Kamala is hardly surging in the polls Diane. You and the bought MSM are really pumping her image up but the truth is she is neck and neck in the swing states with Trump. I say surprising as she has not given one interview with reporters after 36 days assuming the takeover from Joe. Her handlers know that off script she can't handle real questions about their disastrous economic plan over the last 3 and a half years. How will she fix the 2 wars going on right now, how will she control the open border? Many more questions.

I am astounded that so many people were impressed with her empty vacuous speech at the DNC. All about her mother, her wonderful years as prosecutor and then inspirational mumble jumbo. She blatantly lied about Trump wanting to destroy medicare and social services and abortion. Congress voted to make abortion rights the responsibility of each state. And what he said about medicare and social services is that they are almost bankrupt. The hypocrisy, deceit and elitism on display at the DNC was truly gag inducing.

This is a very pivotal time in the strongest country in the world and 4 more years of more leftist policy than with Biden, will be disastrous and lead to more chaos in the world. Voting should be based on policy over personality right now. And right now, all we know about Harris' policy is that she will spend, spend ,spend and then do soviet style price fixing. And of course she will push the Green plan which will be way more spending.

I listened to Robert Kennedy Jr. yesterday where he explained why he is ending his campaign and support Trump and it was an example of a great speech. He is joining with Trump to stop the chronic illness epidemic that is destroying the health, mental and physical, of Americans. He explained how our children, our most precious innocent segment of our society, are being exploited. On many levels, Facebook and social media manipulating them and causing depression, the food industry, causing obesity, and now the schools, where they instill gender affirming ideas on 8 year olds or even younger. To be a happy carefree kid is getting harder and harder .

If the electorate is fine with the status quo vote for Harris, or as I suspect a majority of Americans are not happy with the state of their country, then they should vote for Trump as his policies align with common sense not ideology. And his policies are on his website and not Agenda 2025 which he has said many times he is not associated with.

Your left-versus-right and communism arguments are typical but dead wrong. It's the old reductionist rhetoric of the past and is inaccurate. He's a proven, unscrupulous businessman, a tax cheat, and a fraudster; she is not. Period. The people will decide.
