A long read about the insides of Trump policy on #Ukraine and #Russia - this is probably the most intriguing fragment:
> But in secret, the Central Intelligence Agency and the U.S. military, with his blessing, supercharged a Ukrainian campaign of drone strikes on Russian oil facilities and tankers to hobble Mr. Putin’s war machine.
I'm wondering about timing - why it was published now, just after Trump lashed out on Putin yesterday? I very much hope it's not merely a coincidence...
