There is an old saying that,
"The Truth Always Rises To The Surface"
As Americans head towards the polls for elections of the US Senate and Congress membership in two days time, the local and international political ether is being overwhelmed by revelations about the historical "bromance" between Putin and Trump.
More importantly Trump, throwing caution to the wind, is openly and unashamedly expressing his support for Putin in his war with Ukraine.
"SkyBridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci has accused President Donald Trump of repeatedly advancing Russian President Vladimir Putin's interests through decisions involving Ukraine, NATO, nuclear arms agreements and satellite communications.
…
"Trump has done everything Putin has wanted him to do," he wrote,
- pointing to Trump's 2018 Helsinki summit with Putin, where the president appeared to question U.S. intelligence agencies' findings on Russian election interference.
- his 2019 decision to temporarily withhold military assistance to Ukraine and the withdrawal of U.S. troops from parts of Syria.
- questioning NATO's defense commitments, lifting sanctions on companies linked to Russian billionaire Oleg Deripaska, while keeping sanctions on Deripaska himself
- questioned restrictions on satellite connectivity for Ukraine. There is no way Elon Musk did that without the U.S. president telling him to do that,
- Scaramucci also criticized the diesel fuel arrangement with Russia, arguing that the U.S. could have secured additional supplies from Canada instead. (Ananya Gairola (right): Benzinga on Yahoo News: 1 November 2026) (my emphasis)
Scaramucci is also of the opinion that Christopher Steele has more precise information on the 'kompromat' evidence that Putin had on Trump, even preceding 2017.
As I reported in my blog entry of 17/05/2017,
"On January 10, 2017, the media reported on the existence of a private intelligence dossier containing unverified allegations of misconduct and ties between Donald Trump, then President-elect, and the Russian government during the 2016 U.S. presidential election and the period preceding the election. The dossier was written by a former British MI6 intelligence officer, Christopher Steele (left), who went into hiding after the release of the dossier, but reappeared on March 7, 2017" (Wikipedia)
Scaramucci throws into strong relief the implications that the upcoming US Senate and Congress elections will have on Putin's war on Ukraine.
How these implications will manifest themselves after these elections have generated a veritable tsunami of speculations.
Whatever the outcome of these elections, we can be certain that :-
- a demented Putin will continue along his delusional and destructive imaginary path of 'Novorossiya' by indiscriminately bombing the civilian people of Ukraine.
- And Trump will continue advancing Putin's bombing campaign against the civilians of Ukraine.
The political lives of both Putin and Trump are hanging by a slender thread.
They are now both at their most dangerous.
UPDATE : 6 November 2026 : GMT: 07:38
The dust is beginning to settle on the euphoria of the Democratic Party trouncing the Republicans in the November US Mid-Term elections.
Many now wait in anticipation to see how the Democratic led Senate and Congress in the US will alter Trump's support for Putin in his war with Ukraine.
"Ukraine must adapt to the new realities of US politics to build dialogue and address its needs for more foreign aid and bolstered air defences to counter Russian attacks, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said in an interview broadcast on Thursday." (Reuters: 5 November 2026) (my emphasis)
And on the other side of the Atlantic ocean, Russia's reaction to the veritable 'tsunami' of Democratic successes in the Mid-Term US elections elicited the following Russian reaction.
"Russia had a different take. Rossiyskaya Gazeta, the state-run daily newspaper, suggested the results would in fact be a blow to Ukraine, which has firm support from the European Union. "Brussels, brace yourself. After the Republicans' defeat, Trump's wrath will fall on Europe," read the headline." (NPR: 4 November 2026) (my emphasis)
And the reaction of Putin's Kremlin mouthpiece, Dmitry Peskov (right) just gave a hint that for Putin, things do not bode well.
And the Moscow Times writes, 
"The Kremlin said Wednesday that it hopes U.S. President Donald Trump will remain committed to helping broker an end to the war in Ukraine despite the crushing defeat that his Republican party faced in the midterm elections.
“President Trump will continue his term, and we sincerely count on him continuing his peacemaking efforts,” top spokesman Dmitry Peskov told a state media reporter.
Asked whether a Democratic-held Congress would hinder U.S.-led diplomatic efforts on the war in Ukraine, Peskov stressed that the outcome of the midterm elections is “America’s internal matter.”" (The Moscow Times: 4 November 2026) (my emphasis)
The puddle into which Putin has melted since the US Mid-Term Democratic "tsunami" results were announced is encapsulated in Peskov "stressing" that, "the outcome of the midterm elections is “America’s internal matter.”
As Bloomberg News reported earlier, Putin stated before the US Mid-Term elections that,
" ... but we do not want war with Europe. If others want it, let them prepare,
But they have failed to achieve their goals of inflicting a strategic defeat of Russia, and it is highly unlikely they will succeed by 2030.
And should things go too far, there will be NO winners at all". (Bloomberg News: YouTube: 29 October 2026) (my emphasis)
"The refrigerator attacks [ in France] has the fingerprints of Russia [Putin] all over it.
One official today, because there are more false bomb scares [on passenger planes flying in the EU] today ... I think forensics could indicate where this came from .... [Russia!] (Frontline :5 November 2026) (my emphasis)
Putin's words, "And should things go too far, there will be NO winners at all", should be ringing out loud and clear.
Neither Putin nor Trump have anywhere to turn to.
Putin and Trump are really now both at their most dangerous.
