My newsletter for @guardian about the relationship between Trump and Putin. It includes the cover of the Danish edition of my new book Betrayal, published on Fri. It's a terrifying image of a wolf with the earth in its teeth, against a blood red background https://t.co/1xvVjqFkX7 4K views · 27 likes · 8 reposts · 3 replies Open on X →

The Guardian's review of my book Betrayal. The headline asks: "Is Trump a #Russian asset? My answer, broadly, is yes. (Most seem to agree; the piece has generated 5K FB comments; typically "Duh"!)
