Andrea Kendall-Taylor, Intelligence Analysis of Trump-Putin Dynamics
Former intelligence officer Andrea Kendall-Taylor analyzed the Alaska summit on PBS, expressing concern that Trump is sympathetic to Putin's version of the war. She argued that Putin is a "steely-eyed" detail-oriented negotiator while Trump lacks a solid grasp of the facts. Kendall-Taylor suggested that Zelensky is now in a precarious position, needing to use the "Russian playbook" of conditional agreement to buy time.
