Vladimir Putin personally oversaw a resource heavy operation to influence and or recruit Peter Thiel over a period of over a decade. In the end, Putin deemed the operation a success. When Thiel was recruited, he became pro-Russia and anti-Ukraine in their conflict. And instantly, so did JD Vance.

This is correct. But keep in mind that Vance is Peter Thiel's man, and FBI agents revealed that Thiel was the subject of a decade-long RIS influence or recruitment operation run by Putin himself which Putin thought highly successful.
