“Getting directly involved behind the scenes, that is kind of a new direction,” he muses. “Is it a sign of desperation? Is it a sign of weakness on the Ukrainian side? Probably both.”

“What they actually do is classified, but they could be doing everything,” he tells Sputnik.

"The Biden-Harris camp is clearly afraid of losing this [presidential] election. This would likely mean an end to financial support from the United States. And, of course, the frontline situation is unfavorable for Ukraine. The Russians are advancing everywhere," he concluded.

"As we've said many times that we're for the resistance, and we'll be with it until our last breath. God gave, God took. And now I want to appeal to Netanyahu: let him get off our backs a little bit! Because enough is enough, there's nowhere else to go. We want to live! We don't want anything else. No war, no airplanes, no fronts, no governments. We want a place where we can bow our heads in peace, sleep, live our beautiful lives. That's the message I have," he revealed.

"If there becomes a real split, it'll probably start with Ron DeSantis in Florida, who will begin by refusing to cooperate with any federal agency that tries to, and this is assuming Harris wins, impose these, frankly, totalitarian edicts from Washington," Michael Shannon, a Conservative political commentator and Newsmax columnist, tells Sputnik.

"Things like that and then the federal government mandating that men who think they are women can compete in women's sport, arresting abortion protesters, people praying quietly in front of abortion mills, the political manhunt against the January 6th rioters that has extended even down to grandmothers, all of this really concerns Republicans, conservatives and I guess the few independents who still respect the rule of law."

"Russia’s special military operation is directed at combating this organized neo-Nazi terrorist network created by the US and NATO in Ukraine," he says, adding: "Over time, many foreign mercenaries have been captured or killed, including Americans. During a recent operation, when Kiev regime forces invaded the Bryansk region, American forces were observed among those who infiltrated and were gathering intelligence for sabotage planning."

"Today, Russia is directly fighting a multidimensional, organized terrorist network. Russia is defending the security of independent nations in a new world order against an organized NATO terrorist network led by the US, the UK, and France."

"There are two factors. One, [Donald] Trump needs to win in excess of the steal. They are already talking about it taking 10 or 12 days to finally count all the votes. You only do that if you're trying to steal the election," Shannon says. "The second factor is - will the leftists accept the loss."

"If they turn loose the same rioters and antifa types that they did when George Floyd died, then you're going to have unrest and rioting and destruction. But it's going to be in the blue states. It's not going to be in the red states. So Trump's going to have to make a decision. Is he going to let the blue states just burn down? Or is he going to intervene and stop that?"

"If Trump wins, you're going to have almost 50% of the country where Democrats are very disappointed," Jewett said. "And if Kamala Harris wins, you're going to have all those Republican Trump fans, almost 50% of the country. They're going to be very upset as well. I think in the short run, it's definitely going to exacerbate, make it [national disunity] worse."

"We'll have to see how the leaders on both sides react if they react as normal or the winner is gracious and the loser is gracious, and then maybe those partisan divides won't be so bad. But if they do not, if they question the election results, or if the winner really rubs it in and says 'okay, now I'm going to do everything I want and I'm only representing the people that voted for me' - that's not going to be great for American society overall."
