Foreign mercenaries are not legitimate combatants, and their incursion into Russia, with the intent to wage war, and capture Russian territory is a terrorist act. Trump was obviously concerned because there are undoubtedly US contractors in Kursk, and the political backlash of them being executed as terrorists, or put on trial for war crimes would be very embarrassing to the US.
I am sure that both Macron and Starmer will have to endure the embarrassment of having their people outed as terrorists. That is probably why they have been engaging in such hostile rhetoric for the past couple weeks.
The whole Kursk incursion was about as successful as the Athenian attack on Syracuse. Total disaster.
Alexander ridicules the West for not listening to what the Russians are saying, yet he does the same thing when he speculates that Putin would be satisfied with a short-term deal during which they can build up their economy and defenses. But Putin has said over and over that he is not interested in anything short-term. Unlike Americans, the Russians look and think decades ahead. Alexander, when you’re wrong, you’re really wrong.
