Behind the curtain
“Take care of Russia,” Boris Yeltsin said as he departed his presidency in August 1999. These words were directed at current Russian president, Vladimir Putin. Yeltsin specifically picked Putin as his predecessor to prevent the takeover of Russia.
So, who was Yeltsin warning against? Newly declassified documents from the Clinton Administration prove that there was a plot to rig the Russian election of 2000. These never-before-seen documents confirm numerous attempts to implement pro-Western policies using the Russian oligarchy headed by Boris Berezovsky.
On the other side were the communists who desired a return to the glory days of the Soviet Union. As one of the largest international hedge fund managers, author Martin Armstrong found himself in the middle of perhaps the greatest espionage, or attempt at a regime change for Russia, in modern history.

Victor Orban explains his views on Russia and Ukraine
When did the war in Ukraine begin?
Vladimir Putin has repeatedly stated that Russia has taken a defensive position as he believes the war truly began in 2014 during a Western engineered coup. the U.S. and EU backed the Maidan protests to overthrow the democratically elected government of Viktor Yanukovych because he maintained economic ties with Russia instead of aligning fully with the West. This intervention led to civil unrest, the secession of Crimea to Russia via referendum, and a broader geopolitical confrontation that set the stage for ongoing conflict.
Volodymyr Zelensky’s rise to power in 2019 was part of the broader Western agenda to maintain control over Ukraine following the 2014 coup. Zelensky, initially elected on promises of peace and reform, ultimately became a tool of Western interests, escalating tensions with Russia instead of pursuing genuine diplomacy. Zelensky is a puppet leader of the West whose government is merely a continuation of the post-2014 regime.

Did the EU conspire aginst President Trump to trap him in an endless war with Russia?
[. . .] Donald Trump says I am the President not Joe Biden and European union conspired and is still conspiring against him, so when they say why aren't we at the table. Why would you be at the table? Why would Donald Trump in any Universe invite you to the table? What do you bring to the table and the answer is nothing but negativity. You are not there to promote what's best for America. You're not even there to promote what's best for Europe, because you don't know what's best for Europe. You sold your soul to Joe Biden and now you're left wandering the Wilderness and you're just not going to get a seat at the table. Europe brings nothing to the table. They don't want to bring this war to an end. They were Trump proofing the policy, which means they wanted the conflict in Ukraine to go on forever [. . .]
President Trump's statment about Zelensky
Is Zelensky on a suicide mission?
Ukraine's a metaphor for globalism and anything they do to promote globalism. This destructive force is justified morally so they've got to go away so the longer this takes to ultimately settle matters on the ground.
There is no rational adult leadership anywhere in Europe right now.
Comments by the U.S. Secretary of Defense
Breaking news from the White house
A fast track towards peace?
Under George W, right after 9/11 where the intelligence Community was told the Constitution didn't apply to them. Hopefully Trump can undo all of it and he's made it tremendous start.
The deep irony
The deep irony of all of this is that Europe suffered a terrible economic loss by the US policy, because the US policy included to break the links between Russia and Europe. But those two economies, the European Union economy and the Russian economy, are complementary. Russia's filled with natural resources including low cost natural gas, a critical energy source for German industry. The US went out of its way to break that link, even bombing the nordstream pipeline, destroying it, and Europe just sat there. Now the European economy is in a shambles. This is why the German government led by the social Democrats suffered the the worst imaginable defeat, because the economy has collapsed
Are the EU and the UK obstacles to peace?
We don't see the interest of Russia to rule the rest of Europe. To occupy Europe. For what reason?
Putin's views
We certainly have many more of these resources than Ukraine. Russia is one of the Undisputed leaders in rare and rare earth metal reserves, which we have in utk region and Yia. These are significant investments in capital intensive projects. We would gladly work with any foreign partners, including Americans. Yes by the way regarding the new territories the same thing applies. We are ready to attract foreign partners, including those interested in our historical territories. That return to the Russian Federation. There are reserves there too and we're ready to work with our partners including Americans in these new regions.
Zelensky making a fool of himself in the Oval Office?
Today Zelensky dug his own grave
Senator Lindsey Graham on FOX NEWS:
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., on Friday called for Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to resign after a disastrous Oval Office meeting with President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance, after which the president asked him to leave.
New York Post writes:
Kellogg was ready to walk away, nearly leaving Ukraine without a deal to present Trump.
However, Zelensky’s office reversed course at the last minute after the retired general boarded his train to Poland, apparently recognizing Kellogg was their best shot at mending frayed relations with the US president.
Impressed by Kellogg’s straightforward negotiations and displays of respect throughout — including a visit with wounded Ukrainian troops in a military hospital northwest of Kyiv — Zelensky’s office rushed documents to the train that Kellogg could take back to Trump.
Even after the close call, Kyiv pushed forward with the plan to seal the deal in Washington — a gamble that backfired Friday when Zelensky got into a heated exchange with Trump and Vice President JD Vance at the White House and was subsequently booted out of the West Wing.
“Zelensky played it as wrong as he could play it,” the senior US official said. “He came into the Oval acting like a tough guy. It didn’t play well. Everyone in the room felt insulted.
“Now Zelensky will have to figure out how to fix this on his own. We can’t fix it for him.”
Is Europe on a suicide mission?
A number of European leaders on Feb. 28 reaffirmed their support for Ukraine and President Volodymyr Zelensky, following his tense meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House.
kyivindependent.com - European leaders reaffirm support for Ukraine after Zelensky-Trump clash
Zelensky is believing his own BS, and the press loves him because of the Neocon propaganda. To refuse a cease-fire, claiming you need a security deal first, was not just BS, but it was based on the fact that the EU claims they are behind him, and he thought the press was so negative about Trump that he would win before the cameras. [. . .]
The problem is that the EU needs war with Russia because their economy is collapsing from COVID, Climate Change NET ZERO, and then sanctions on Russia. The EU is very anti-Trump. They have spent months demonizing him, reporting that there is no way he would be elected. Every issue of the Economist is nothing but hatred of Trump. The European press has set the tone and encouraged the split with the United States. They have also demonized Putin so much that it is now impossible for the EU to shake hands with Putin.

President Trump is determined to force Russia and Ukraine to create peace
The Russians are about to cut off the Ukraine's supply to its tropes in Kursk.
The meaning of Fugazi (also spelled fugazy): It's a slang term meaning “false, bogus, inauthentic.” It can also mean “a counterfeit, sham; nonsense; an impostor.”
The future is not the past.
Free Speech too often turns out to be something that the people in power can tolerate. Not necessarily what everybody thinks, and the right of free expression simply doesn't exist right now. It's curtailed here. I hope it improves, but there's a lot of censorship as you know. There are protected classes, things you can't say. This is all nonsense. It needs to go away and I think president Trump has made it clear, he wants to head in that direction. But the Europeans, at least the globalist leaders that we're dealing with right now, they're not on board with that. They've got to go way too.
If the United States with under the Biden Administration put so much War material so many billions of dollars and so much ammunition, and all all the categories of war that we've helped him with intelligence training all those kinds of things, with everything the European Union did and it failed, it failed on the offense, it failed on the defense, I mean you can just look at the years 2023 and the year 2024 and there was a major offensive failure and a major defensive failure, which has perpetuated into the early part of 2025 and yet you still have the Europeans unwilling to to acknowledge that plain reality.
[. . .]
If the European Union had just said okay look Zelinsky just do the stuff on the Minsk agreements, just change your Constitution we'll continue to do business with you. Everything will be fine. There will be no war for anyone. We could have done that, should have done that. Well once the war came on we should have done at Istanbul. I won't go through all that again I've done it a ton of times, but you see the point. Whether it's Zelinsky or the European Union, every time there has been an opportunity for peace, every time there has been a chance to end the war, they say no we're going to keep fighting.
[. . .]
NATO was supposed to have or did used to be has now turned into an offensive force that poses an existential threat on the border with Russia.

Tulsi Gabard: President Trump is the peace president and he is putting the interests of the American people and our taxpayers first and foremost.
The imminent collapse of the Kursk incursion
looking at it militarily that Russia was content to let this go on for months, because every time Ukraine would send reinforcements into the Kursk pocket they were not available Ukraine to go into the donbas area, which has always been the priority of effort for the Russian side, so that made their job there easier and they could their objective and understand this. This is so important, because very few in the west seem to get that Russia's primary objective is not territorial acquisition. That's a byproduct. Their primary objective is the destruction of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, so whether they do that in the Kursk area and in the Eastern front or only on the Eastern Front is of little consequence, because it's this the total Force package of the Ukraine side that's what they have been going after and that is what they have stated openly. It's not anything hidden that you have to Divine they're stating it out loud that's what they call demilitarization and densification.
Ukrainian MP called for peace with Russia
Zelensky’s moment is quickly passing into history. A growing constituency of his own people and of Ukraine’s political elite are calling for new elections and a swift end to the war. And the imminent collapse of the Kursk incursion – widely seen as Zelensky’s brainchild – will focus those calls into a clamour.
It will be convenient to blame the coming massacre and capture of Ukrainian soldiers on Trump’s cutoff of military aid and intelligence sharing. But in truth things have been bleak well before the recent Trump-Zelensky meltdown.
Yesterday prominent Ukrainian MP Oleksiy Honcharenko called for peace with Russia after three years of passionate defiance. He called on Zelensky to stop claiming to be “saving” Europe and concentrate on saving Ukraine.
"The rearm Europe plan"
These European nations can't go to war without the United States. There's just too much interoperability as it was called. Too much dependence upon the United States provide key factors key elements of War fighting that the Europeans simply don't have.
[. . .]
I think that the powers in Europe feel that it's in their interest to not honor a peace agreement than it is to honor the peace agreement.
When you listen to the prime minister of Denmark. I've listened to, I think, the lady leading Estonia. Another prime minister in Finland or president. These people have lost all sense of proportionality. They don't know what war is all of these people do not understand War.
Ceasfire?
The reaction to the ceasefire is: Putin politely told the United States basically go shove it we want to talk we're interested in ceasefire, but we've had conditions and those conditions were laid out in June of 2024. I'd written and publish them extensively at my website sun2c. The first first requirement is that Ukraine has to withdraw all forces from Russian territory, and the Russians consider zapar IA heran luhans and detet as Russian territory. That's the first step. They have to renounce going into NATO. They have to stop attacking people making it illegal to speak Russian. They're going to have a new election because Vomir Zelinsky is an illegal president. Those are the conditions that Putin laid out almost a year ago, in June of 2024. Since then every single senior official in the Russian government has reiterated those positions.
They [Russians] don't take Europe seriously anymore, or as somebody that they need to engage, because what does Europe bring to the table other than problems. They don't bring natural resources. They don't bring Financial wealth. They don't bring military power.
I hope that Europe wises up and realizes that is a losing proposition. Just get this war off the table so that we can get back to some semblance of normality and lower if not remove the chance of any kind of clash between the west and the East that everyone will lose. f that happens to include the Russians to include the Europeans everybody will lose if we go down that path.
Catastrophic withdrawal from Kursk
The BBC has received extensive accounts from Ukrainian troops, who recount a "catastrophic" withdrawal in the face of heavy fire, and columns of military equipment destroyed and constant attacks from swarms of Russian drones.
As long as we continue to supply cash and weapons the war will continue.

NATO is DOA, Dead on Arrival, it it's going nowhere fast, why because it's proven to be entirely ineffective.
Under the Geneva conventions and under international law, if you're fighting in a war zone and you're not wearing a uniform you do not have the protections of the Geneva Convention.
Ceasefire on all Energy and Infrastructure
We [Europe] are US vassals, so at the moment we're on the wrong page, but very very quickly the page will turn and we'll be doing whatever Trump says.
United States doesn't have any leverage over Russia with respect to the war in Ukraine.
Tactical and operational pressure
Russia is putting more and more tactical and operational pressure on the Ukraine side, putting more and more pressure on their forces causing them to spread out and having to fight simultaneously in so many places, which means: if there's a breakthrough in any one places they just don't have enough operational reserves and theater reserves to be able to plug the gaps and still not sacrific somewhere else, just because there's so much pressure.
Conflicts cannot be solved without talking
Negiciations in Saudi-Arabia
The first thing that has to come first is to end the fighting in the war, because these other things can't be discovered until after the the fighting has stopped anyway, so to to delay trying to find a negotiated settlement on the theory that Russia may go further uh is is self-defeating, because that all that's going to do is prevent the stoppage of the loss of life.
[. . .]
The economies of Western Europe, they're all generally speaking with one or two exceptions in deep trouble so why would you want to take over that. What's what's the what's the value to Russia? I can't see any value.
[. . .]
I'm trying to still work out why so many of the western leaders and their military leaders as well as political leaders are so fixated with what with the political narrative that you've just described. You know that Putin is the hitlerian demon and zalinski is the churchillian hero, when you look at it it's almost the not quite the opposite, but it's not far off being the opposite.
[. . .]
The vision of Europe which is going almost hysterical in terms of wanting to rearm um and further impoverish itself having already impoverished itself using sanctions that acted like boomerangs to the Europe an economy.
Trump's angry remarks
Is Trump pushing for war in the Middle East?
Military power takes time to develop and and grow. It doesn't happen overnight. It usually on average it's about 10 years and so whatever you invest today will you will begin to see an impact, provided the organization changes and adapts to the new technology, in about five years. But you won't have the full impact militarily on a battlefield for perhaps another five years.
[. . .]
Britain's about to go under financially. France isn't far behind. The Germans are in a lot of trouble. It it's hard to take any of it seriously frankly. But how do you explain the bellacosity of Prime Minister Stormer has nothing to back up his bellose words with President Mcronone and even Van der Layen. How do you explain all of their condemnations and warning of fears of Russia. I think we're in a position right now where the globalist ruling class primarily in Western, but not exclusively Western Europe, is clinging tenaciously to power. We just saw Marie le Pen, I think, judged unfairly and then ridiculously placed in prison. I suspect that France is within weeks of a tremendous revolution. I don't see how they get through the summer without it. This kind of behavior is not evidence for strength. It's evidence for weakness and fear. They're going to go down fighting as far as they're concerned. The initial strategy was to try and drag us [the US] into the war that we didn't want to fight in Eastern Europe. That failed miserably. And so the next stage was either we stand up join hands and try to march into war together, or we'll simply be removed from power and it's over.
[. . .]
People that are familiar with history know that if you create a category of people who are treated as privileged immune and beyond the law. Effectively you you create targets and eventually it all breaks down in hatred and violence.
It's all about money
Once you create power in a centralized government they will always, always, act in their self interest.
[. . .]
Justice is the same whatever form of government you’re talking about, it’s only the interest of those in power.
Why Europe is pushing for war
The failed structure of the Eurozone is crumbling. They are on the verge of a sovereign debt default, which unfolds when you cannot sell new debt to pay off the old. When you are also preaching war endlessly in all the media and talk shows in Europe, you have to be insane to buy European debt. They NEED war, or the Eurozone will break up . They care nothing about Europe or the people no less the world. This is a raw push to remain relevant and retain power.
How Israel has got the US in its pocket
The Israelis are lobbying for an attack on Iran. It seems to me almost strategic madness, but you do get situations where governments become so polarized in their thinking that they do do very silly things.

Peace Talks Failing
Blistering critics of President Trump
The available rational path forward
The demand for an unconditional ceasfire
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy agreed on Sunday to meet face-to-face with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Turkey.
Putin initially proposed the Thursday meeting this weekend, and President Donald Trump prompted Zelenskyy to accept the offer. Putin said the talks in Istanbul must be held without preconditions and with the goal of lasting peace.
"We await a full and lasting ceasefire, starting from tomorrow, to provide the necessary basis for diplomacy. There is no point in prolonging the killings. And I will be waiting for Putin in Türkiye on Thursday. Personally. I hope that this time the Russians will not look for excuses," Zelenskyy wrote.
Trump encouraged Zelenskyy to accept Putin's meeting earlier on Sunday. Ukraine and Russia are currently under a ceasefire marking the anniversary of the end of World War II in Europe.
www.foxnews.com - Zelenskyy agrees to meet with Putin on Thursday
An outlook perspective
Following the May 9th Victory Day parade in Moscow, Russia resumed full-scale military operations in Ukraine, including overnight drone strikes. Despite a brief pause around the parade, hostilities quickly resumed. Ukraine had attempted to disrupt the parade with hundreds of drones and missiles, which Russia largely intercepted.
Colonel Douglas Macgregor criticized the West’s continued surprise at Russian aggression, arguing that Russia has consistently stated it would not stop fighting until its objectives are met. He also condemned what he sees as strategic confusion and inconsistency from former President Trump, who reportedly aligned with European leaders in calling for a 30-day ceasefire. Macgregor views this as a betrayal of Trump’s earlier position acknowledging Russia's grievances and territorial claims.
He expressed concern that Trump’s current stance undermines any potential credibility with Russia and aligns him with globalist leaders in Europe who Macgregor blames for weakening national identities. He believes the West is prolonging the war by continuing to arm Ukraine and asserts that Ukraine’s government is selling off the country’s assets while being propped up by Western powers.
Despite talk of peace talks in Turkey, Macgregor remains skeptical, arguing that unless Ukraine accepts neutrality and recognizes Russia's territorial gains, negotiations are unlikely to succeed. He concludes that Russia is perceived globally as defending its interests, while Ukraine has been exploited by Western powers.
I think that in the United States once it becomes clear what the Russians are going to do, Donald Trump is going to lose face. His administration will be shown for what it is, incoherent unfocused and failing. Who knows what the consequences politically for him will be, because everyone in Congress will attack him. And I'm sure he'll be told that he's responsible for losing Ukraine, which is nonsense. Ukraine was never his to begin with. He didn't want it. But instead of being smart and and bailing out of this nonsense early on, he listened to all the wrong people and is stuck like a bug on fly paper. But he'll be held responsible. In Europe itself all of the leadership in Europe will be identified as buffoons, because there's not a damn thing they can do. And if they try to do something, I think in most cases the military leaders certainly on the continent will meet with them and say we can't intervene. We have no capability to do so. We'll be crushed. The one exception of course is Starmer, sitting out there on that island. He may think he can do something but he's probably in even worse shape. Right now the Polish army is much larger, more capable, than the British army or the French army. And they're not going to take this on. They know what's out there. They're not ready for it. So I think this will hasten the end of the globalist regimes, which is a good thing for Europe. They need to go away. All of these globalists need to be canned once and for all. Then Europe needs to be rescued from destruction by this mass migration of people into it, who are not Europeans and never will be, and feel nothing but contempt for European civilization and the Christian foundations that support it. Well that's a that's a pretty dire picture in there.
How war works
[Europe is] going to go back to trying to sanction oil again. Trying this oil price cap. Lower that didn't work the first time. It didn't work at all. Why do you think it's going to work now? I mean that just is irrational to think that something that has failed so bitterly and miserably, that's going to be your go-to and that's going to force Russia to come to the negotiating table and give in on all the points that we've talked about here. That all the things that they want and give in nothing on themselves.
[. . .]
the foolish tactical decisions given by the government and the military leaders of Ukraine things that make no sense.
Ukranian commander's resignation
Oleksandr Shyrshyn, commander of a battalion in Ukraine’s 47th Separate Mechanized Brigade “Magura,” has submitted his resignation, citing “idiotic tasks” from higher command and unjustified personnel losses. His decision comes as Russia and Ukraine resume direct peace talks for the first time in over three years.
In a pointed social media post, Shyrshyn wrote: “I have never received more idiotic tasks than on this current front. One day I’ll share the details, but the senseless loss of people and the fear of incompetent generals leads only to failure.” He also addressed Ukraine’s top military leadership directly: “I hope your children will also serve in the infantry and carry out your orders.”
The phone call between Trump and Putin
The statement as published on the Kremlin website
President of Russia Vladimir Putin: Our colleagues asked me to briefly comment on the outcome of my telephone conversation with the President of the United States.
This conversation has effectively taken place and lasted more than two hours. I would like to emphasise that it was both substantive and quite candid. Overall, I believe it was a very productive exchange.
First and foremost, I expressed my gratitude to the President of the United States for the support provided by the United States in facilitating the resumption of direct talks between Russia and Ukraine aimed at potentially reaching a peace agreement and resuming the talks which, as we know, were thwarted by the Ukrainian side in 2022.
The President of the United States shared his position on the cessation of hostilities and the prospects for a ceasefire. For my part, I noted that Russia also supports a peaceful settlement of the Ukraine crisis as well. What we need now is to identify the most effective ways towards achieving peace.
We agreed with the President of the United States that Russia would propose and is ready to engage with the Ukrainian side on drafting a memorandum regarding a potential future peace agreement. This would include outlining a range of provisions, such as the principles for settlement, the timeframe for a possible peace deal, and other matters, including a potential temporary ceasefire, should the necessary agreements be reached.
Contacts among participants of the Istanbul meeting and talks have resumed, which gives reason to believe that we are on the right track overall.
I would like to reiterate that the conversation was highly constructive, and I assess it positively. The key issue, of course, is now for the Russian side and the Ukrainian side to show their firm commitment to peace and to forge a compromise that would be acceptable to all parties.
Notably, Russia’s position is clear. Eliminating the root causes of this crisis is what matters most to us.
Should any clarifications be necessary, Press Secretary [Dmitry] Peskov and my aide, Mr Ushakov, will provide further details on today’s telephone talks with President Trump.

The battle of the public opinion
Negotiations are headed nowhere. This is all, just you know, theater. It's all designed to win the battle of public opinion. The fact is the Russians and the Ukrainians cannot agree on the terms of a deal that will shut this war down, and this war is going to be settled on the battlefield. The idea that both sides are going to produce a memorandum, they're going to exchange those memorandums and then you're going to be able to carve out a meaningful agreement based on the two memoranda is a pipe dream. It's just not going to happen.
[. . .]
Zalinski and the Europeans and even the Americans continue to insist on having a ceasefire before you reach an agreement. The Russians have said categorically that's not going to happen. This is Lavrov saying that again. Second point is the Russians would be nuts to agree to a ceasefire. The Russians are winning on the battlefield. A ceasefire would simply give the Ukrainians an opportunity to regroup and put up stiffer resistance against the Russians. Why in God's name would the Russians accept such a proposal? The answer is they won't, and this is why they keep saying adnauseium, there's not going to be any ceasefire before there's an agreement on the basic terms of a peace settlement.
I think one of the things to understand is that Europe over the last 30 years, since the end of the cold war, has been involved in something of a political experiment an unusual political experiment of European integration. Now this policy, this experiment, is coming under increasing amount of opposition from all people right across Europe. You see this in country after country. In my country people voted to leave the European Union altogether. For example you see this in recent elections, in places like Romania. You see this in Germany, where there were elections also. So how do you keep this project of ever deepening integration,, going you develop a common enemy and you know you have this spectre of the old adversary Russia, which is being conflated to some extent with the Soviet Union. You talk about it's you know that it's this revangist state that is out to dominate and subjugate Europe. Noticed by the way that not only did they never mention any of the things that you listed, all of the reasons why the Russians might have reacted in the way that you say, but they've never really given an explanation of why Russia would want to behave in that way, why it would want to threaten and take over the whole of Europe. Because this isn't just recreating the Soviet Union. They the way they're talking is about. You know this is a threat to everyone in Europe, but nobody explains why Russia would want to march on London or take over Paris or occupy Berlin. Nobody provides any kind of reason for that, but you talk about it you create a war psychosis in Europe. You create fear. You talk about rearmament. You do all of these kind of things in order ultimately not even in my opinion so much to rearm, but to continue with this project of centralizing and uniting Europe, which as I said has run into all kinds of opposition from all sorts of places right across Europe. And I think it's sustainable. By the way I think that bar from succeeding it's going to fail but in the meantime it's doing massive damage and it's going to destroy Ukraine.
The last chance?
Russia is operating a policies based on reality and the West is operating based on political preference.
You're fooling your people into continuing to support something that means more of their money more of their ammunition will just be thrown in the trash. It'll just be gone into it's a literal black hole. Whatever you send to the ukraine will be used, but it won't change the outcome, but it will deplete your coffers it will cost you money to replace.
[. . .]
It is it is bad for britain. It's bad for america. It's bad for europe at large, and it is catastrophic for ukraine. And russia doesn't want to fight this war people keep saying "well they don't want to have a ceasefire". No they do they want to have a ceasefire. They want to have an end of war negotiation. They would prefer to end this war via negotiations with the ugly terms that they are now demanding instead of fighting for it. But they will fight for it until they have it.
No more undefined missions, No more open-ended conflicts
Why Europe is doomed
NATO should have been shut down by the end of the Cold War.
The former head of France Holland, with Merkel in the parliament, saying the reason we created this [EU] was one government will end war. It doesn't because you still have all the regional differences. And all I hear from all over is that you know most people are just pissed off at Brussels now um they they want their own culture back.
[. . .]
Putin's not interested in a 30-day peace deal. Why? Because they would only rearm. He knows there is no solution and that the real enemy is no longer even Ukraine, it's it's NATO.
Poking the bear when the war is lost
The war is won by the russians. Has been won for quite a while. But now the unwillingness of the west to negotiate an end in good faith leaves the russians no choice, but to press the attack. They don't have any choice in the matter. What else can they do?
[. . .]
If you fail to talk to people, and we have resisted simply sitting down and talking to people, and not just talking to them, but listening to them. We have never listened to the russians, because the people behind the scenes that elected Donald Trump and put him into the White House, are the same people who are covering for Netanyahu's mass murder and expulsion of people from both gaza and ultimately the west bank. They want this to continue and apparently they're in control not Donald Trump.
[. . .]
We are on the edge of the cliff overlooking the financial abyss. We're headed into something much worse than 2008. We're headed into much worse than a a serious deep recession. We're headed into something could look like a depression. The trillion dollar defense budget is fantasy. It's never going to arrive and i think there's an unwillingness to come to terms with this reality, because people really don't think the debt matters. They think that we can spend recklessly in the future the way we have in the past, and the truth is we can't, and everyone needs to look at the bond market. The bond market is collapsing in japan. It's going to collapse here and once the 10year reaches the 5% mark you're staring at an absolutely unavoidable default.
Russians aren't going to bend to anybody, let alone Donald Trump. I again remind people Trump has not reversed the policies of the Biden administration and his policies beforehand, when he was first president, and the policies of Obama prior to that the strategic defeat of Russia. Seeking to bring down Russia from within by creating economic stresses, social stresses, political stresses, military stresses. It's been the policy of the United States for many decades. Now Trump hasn't reversed that policy so that still is the policy of the United States.
All of these leaders, especially in Europe and Ukraine, seem just absolutely heartless in their lack of concern about the consequences of their ridiculous and irrational decisions on the men and women fighting for Ukraine that are dying in large numbers every day on the front. That's just the hard reality.
Ukraine's drone attack deep into Russia
Ukrainians is lack complete lack of strategic thought. They are all focused on tactics. You know they've got they basically have like the brain of a teenager. The teenager is thinking only about immediate gratification immediate pleasure, not thinking about if I do X it's going to lead to Y, and Z and what will be my preparations to deal with that outcome. So uh they are they are not taking steps to shore up their ability to stop the Russian advance on the ground. And now they have basically energized the entire Russian population to a greater degree, than was the case say two months ago, about the need to destroy Ukraine.
We are closer uh to nuclear Armageddon than during the entire cold war period.
[. . .]
I think Donald Trump wants to stop this. But it takes skill and determination to stop this. And the skill and determination is not to change the rhetoric by the hour, but actually to have a serious detailed negotiation over the real issues that cause the war and that can end the war.
[. . .]
We right now have a foreign policy that is whipped around that puts us all in extreme peril by lobbying groups for other countries not for our national interest. Donald Trump said that he wants a foreign policy for an American interest. Well the American interest is not to have Russian nuclear bombers blown up on their as as they're sitting on the tarmac. Nor is the American interest for a genocide in Gaza.
Negotiations Framework presented by Ukraine
Presented by Reuters
I. Key Principles of the Agreement and the Negotiation Process
- Full and unconditional ceasefire in the sky, on land and at sea as a necessary background and prerequisite for peace negotiations.
- Confidence-building measures – addressing humanitarian issues: unconditionally return all deported and illegally displaced Ukrainian children. Exchange of all prisoners (the “all for all” principle). Release by Russia of all civilian hostages.
- Non-repetition of aggression: The aim of the negotiations is to restore a permanent basis for lasting peace and security and to ensure that aggression does not occur again.
- Security guarantees and engagement of the international community: Ukraine must receive robust security guarantees. The parties will invite the international community to participate in the negotiations and provide guarantees to ensure the implementation of the agreements.
- Sovereignty: Ukraine is not forced to be neutral. It can choose to be part of the Euro-Atlantic community and move towards EU membership. Ukraine’s membership in NATO depends on consensus within the Alliance. No restrictions may be imposed on the number, deployment, or other parameters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as well as on the deployment of troops of friendly foreign states on the territory of Ukraine.
- Territorial issues: Territorial gains made by Russia since February 2014 are not recognized by the international community. The contact line is the starting point for negotiations. Territory issues are discussed only after a full and unconditional ceasefire.
- Sanctions: Some sanctions may be lifted from Russia, but in stages and only gradually, with a mechanism for resuming sanctions if necessary (snapback). Frozen Russian sovereign assets are used for reconstruction or remain frozen until reparations are paid.
- Implementation: Agree on a clear, balanced and achievable roadmap for implementation and enforcement of the agreements.
II. Next step – agreeing ceasefire and agenda of the leaders’ meeting
- After the meeting in Istanbul, the parties continue the talks which shall focus on: (1) full and unconditional ceasefire: its modalities and monitoring; (2) confidence building measures; (3) preparation, agreeing agenda and structure of future leaders’ negotiations on key topics.
- Negotiations to be held with the U.S. and Europe participating.
III. Ceasefire
- Full and unconditional ceasefire in the sky, on land and at sea at least for 30 days (with the possibility of rolling extensions every 30 days) as a necessary background and prerequisite for peace negotiations.
- Ceasefire monitoring, led by the US and supported by third countries.
IV. Confidence-building measures
- After successful exchange of PoWs after Istanbul talks, the parties continue the exchange process for all prisoners of war (“all for all” principle).
- Agreement on unconditional return by the Russian Federation of all deported and displaced Ukrainian children, and release by Russia of all civilian prisoners. These measures should include all categories of persons listed, starting from February 2014.
V. Leaders' meeting
- The leaders of Ukraine and Russia meet to agree on key aspects of final peace settlement.
- Key topics of peace agreement to be agreed by the leaders:
- Permanent and complete cessation of hostilities: conditions, monitoring, sanctions for violations
- Security guarantees and non-repetition of aggression
- Territorial issues
- Economy, compensation, reconstruction
- Penalties for breach of agreements
- Conclusion of a final peace agreement

Negitiations or settelment on the battelfield?
I think we need to back up and understand something. Zelinski and Netanyahu are two sides of the same coin. What do each of those people want to achieve? They want to achieve the introduction of American military power into their respective conflicts, and that's important to understand. Zelinski is not stupid. He knows Europeans have very little to offer. He knows they don't have much in the way of deployable combat power. You know we've talked about their boutique ground forces or liapuchian armies before, so he's hoping that the United States air and naval power, combined with whatever else we're prepared to send that we've got sitting in Poland Romania Lithuania will turn everything in his favor. Therefore everything he does is designed to persuade Donald Trump and Washington that there is still life in the Zelinski regime that they could actually do something. You have something similar with uh Netanyahu. Both men are trying to stake out ground that make an agreement impossible.
[. . .]
Where is President Trump? Because remember one of the things that happened as a result of the attack on the bombers is essentially a violation of the strategic arms limitation talks agreement. That was the agreement, where we said we would display our bombers on the tarmac, the Russians said they'd display theirs. So there's no question in anybody's mind about where the bombers are and whether or not they're armed or not armed with nuclear weapons and so forth. Well we've just destroyed that tenant.
[. . .]
This is a terrible situation. The Russians don't want to have a war with us or NATO or anybody else. They really do want this to end, but we are driving them into a position from which they can't easily escape. They've got to end it.
[. . .]
Where is President Trump on on this matter? Is he like Eisenhower? Has he made it abundantly clear that under no circumstances will he support a war against Russia. I haven't heard him say that. But that he is something he needs to say.
[. . .]
What happens in Ukraine is an existential issue. That's the thing we have never understood and are unwilling to understand. What happens in that country is of vital strategic importance to Moscow. They will do whatever is required to ultimately ensure that their country is protected and will not be subject to future attacks as it has been over the last several years by Kiev.
World War III knocking on the door?
Top Economist and Forecaster Martin Armstrong says the economic situation in Europe is irreversible, and when all else fails, governments go to war. Highlighting the widespread reinstitution of military drafts, Armstrong says war is inevitable, and not only Ukraine but all of Europe will fall.
zeeemedia.com - Top Forecaster: WW3 & Europe Set to Fall ft. Martin Armstrong | Daily Pulse Ep 36
I think it's going to play out on the battlefield Danny and Russia will win, so the question really is is how the West comes to terms with that. I don't think the West realizes this yet. At the moment, or certainly not at the the senior political levels and at the military, I suspect they probably do, if they've got any competence whatsoever.
[. . .]
Let's don't go down this catastrophic road here. It's time to end the insanity and bring this back to a situation of at least stability. We'll worry about peace later. Let's get stability first so that we don't get escalation, because we will all lose if that happens i promise you.
Europe is stabbing Trump in the back every second, and you cannot expect Putin to agree to any terms when Europe wants war because they are crumbling internally. The computer has already laid out that the EU will break apart, and with bloodthirsty Neocons like Kallas, she will ensure that Europe will NEVER agree to peace for without war, the Europeans are going to rise up and storm the EU parliament with their pitchforks.
[. . .]
Keep in mind that Zelensky has attempted to assassinate Putin on May 20th, sending drones after his helicopter. Zelensky is acting on the orders of NATO, and they are desperate to try to get Putin to attack NATO. Thus, out of desperation, they look to try to remove Putin in hopes of getting a Russian Neocon who will retaliate emotionally, and that will start WWIII.
[. . .]
There is NO PEACE possible, and the only SOLUTION is what Rome did to Carthage – the complete annihilation of Ukraine. Our computer has gone flatline in Ukraine. I have NEVER seen this before. The Ukrainian people MUST overthrow Zelensky, take back their country from NATO, London, and Paris, or there will never be a country of Ukraine again.
The decline of diplomacy
How angry are the Russian people the Russian elites and the circle around President Putin over the drone attacks on the weekend? Extremely angry. We could define it as silent fury and everybody is waiting a devastating response. Putin himself hinted that there will be a response. Medved was not as metaphorical as he used to be. He went straight to the point. Basically he said the people who have to be punished will be punished and what has to be blown up will be blown up and this is what Russian public opinion is waiting for. There are I would say, there are a lot of dissident voices even among well-informed circles of power in Moscow saying that Putin is taking too long, the response will not be as devastating as it should be and it will once again be judged as a sign of weakens by the collective west.
Russia strikes back
every single day there's like these dramatic photos. there's excellent excellent photography that's done. he's Zelensky's] got all these great angles. And you know sometimes he's got his glasses on, he's looking scholarly, sometimes you know he's looking tough and like army top, sometimes he goes to the front etc. He's fallen around with these cameras that get these really dramatic movie like images even when he's given a speech. I think we had that on a couple of days ago. You could see those are great and unfortunately they seem to have an impact on his target audience, which is Western European leaders. They seem to actually be buying into what he says because it looks good, but folks you're going to have to start paying attention to what the hell's going on on the ground and now increasingly in the air because all that's going to come crashing to an end.
[. . .]
Zellinsky, he can't make rational decisions, it's going to have to be made for him.
These attacks last week by the Ukrainians were deeply destabilizing. They took place just at the moment of these negotiations. They were an attack on part of the Russian strategic triad. The nuclear triad. Very dangerous. Very destabilizing. There was also the attack on civilian passenger rail that downed a bridge and killed dozens of people. And there's no doubt that the western agencies were deeply implicated in projects that took place over the course of more than a a year in preparation. So what we have had just today is a massive drone and missile attack by Russia all over Ukraine. The war is escalating. It's extraordinarily dangerous. The recklessness in my view of the Ukrainians and the Europeans, to say no realistic peace proposals. No attempt to find a solution. Just means more escalation. More devastation of Ukraine. More loss of life and to no end. To no good end.
[. . .]
It is the difficult job of the president of the United States to put a break on the military-industrial complex. That's the job it requires skill. It requires steadfastness. This is a war machine that is always in operation. The president actually has to actively put the brakes on the war machine. It's not enough to not be a wararmonger himself, and Trump has not been a wararmonger when it comes to Ukraine, but it is an act of skill to put a stop to the war machine. We know presidents have sometimes paid the ultimate price for that as John F kennedy did when he put the brakes on the war machine. The fact of the matter is there is a powerful big business, the one half trillion dollar business a year just in the US alone, not to mention in Europe and a powerful ideological force that says just fight.
With this shift to a counterterrorism operation, now means that this war is going to be entering a new phase and it's going to be a more, it's going to be a devastating phase for Ukraine, because Russia is now, they up to this point, they've limited themselves on some targets including Zelinski right. And I I think particularly now that it's a counterterrorism operation that Zelinsky is definitely uh on the list of possible targets.
How the West has contributed to the Ukrainian defeat
Book by retired colonel Jacques Baud
Why is Ukraine losing the war against Russia? How do both sides think and operate? What were the mistakes on both sides? How did the West contribute to the Ukrainian defeat?
To answer these questions and many others, Jacques Baud draws on official information as well as American, Western and Russian documents. He explains how Russia understands and conducts the war. He shows how the West's inability to grasp this reality and its determination to weaken Russia has backfired in Ukraine. Following on from the bestsellers Putin: Game Master?, Operation Z and Ukraine Between War and Peace, whose analytical work has been acclaimed worldwide and translated into several languages, the author returns to the war in Ukraine. He explains how Russia waged the war, and reveals how the image portrayed by the West led to Ukraine's defeat.
www.amazon.es - The Russian Art of War: How the West Led Ukraine to Defeat
The EU is correct that if Ukraine falls, there goes Europe. However, that does NOT mean Russia invades Europe. There is NOTHING there worth taking. Instead, the collapse of Ukraine is more about the collapse of the Western political hegemony. This will lead to the crumbling of the EU internally with division – not some invasion by Putin.
Ukraine is the great EU gamble. The hopes of conquering Russia to get the $75 trillion in natural resources to resurrect Europe as the pinnacle of economic power. The collapse of Ukraine really means the collapse of European debt, and the division will erupt just as you see in the American Democratic Party and its internal Civil War.
Where are we heading?
The European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) group has expelled Luxembourg MEP Fernand Kartheiser at an extraordinary meeting on Wednesday following his much-criticised trip to Russia at the end of May.
www.luxtimes.lu - Luxembourg’s Kartheiser kicked out of European Parliament group
What do you think a peace policy is?
It’s a policy that tries to put an end to the war in Ukraine and returns to the principles of the 1999 Istanbul Summit, i.e. a European security architecture that enables every European state to guarantee its own security, provided it does not do so at the expense of other states. This is essential to give Europe a degree of stability. We also need to rethink the sanctions against Russia, which are doing us a great deal of harm. More so than the Russians. Our industry needs fossil fuels. At the moment, we are buying more expensive fossil fuels from Russia indirectly via Azerbaijan or India. This is as illogical as it is dishonest. It’s an irrational policy that must come to an end.
en.paperjam.lu - Fernand Kartheiser (ADR): “International politics is my whole life”
I don't think they did this alone And you know let's say that they did plan it alone but I guarantee you with MI6 officers and CIA officers there on SE they absolutely knew about it Now were they instructed to put that into a message and send it back to headquarters and say "Hey heads up They're getting ready to do this." Maybe not But you know this go this goes to the heart of the matter that the lack of judgment on the part of those CIA or MI6 officers without recognizing that crossing this line with Russia creates a risk from a from a standpoint of nuclear weapons.
[. . .]
Previously Zalinsky had secured assurances from the Israeli officials certifying that the the Russians weren't going to kill him. That's changed now because of what the Russians now defining as a counterterrorism operation.
Who controls American foreign policy? Who calls the shots It's not entirely clear. One of the conclusions you might draw from this recent series of events attacks on Russia that violate the norm against attacking elements of the nuclear deterrent of a great power, is that in fact we're on autopilot to some extent covert program probably hatched by MI6 in with the Ukrainians. Undoubtedly approved by the CIA during the Biden administration, probably Richie Richishi Sunnak in Britain, who knows, just carried over into the Trump administration. And there is no evidence that the Trump administration was in fact informed of this program or that if it was it was able to make its own decision about whether it should go forward or not. And in fact the purpose of the attacks seems in part to have been to sabotage any prospect of a successful meeting between Russia and Ukraine at Istanbul.
[. . .]
The Russians are now rebranding the special military operation as a war against terrorism which of course unleashes them under their own rules to seek to eliminate President Zullinski and his senior people.
Why does Britain wants war?
The Russian nuclear doctrine was triggered which means Russia would have had every right to use nuclear weapons, either in retaliation or to preempt what it had every right to believe was a follow-on attack by the United States and great britain just as we would.
[. . .]
Remember it's the British and the French who recently said "our nuclear weapons are now part of a European posture versus Russia.". France has actually said "we're ready to have a nuclear war with Russia". Great Britain is preparing for a nuclear war so with that rhetoric then you match it with action by a proxy being directed by the British. The Russians have every right to have said "we are under the first phase of a larger attack by Great Britain that's gone insane.
[. . .]
British are deliberately provoking Russia to use a tactical nuclear weapon against Ukraine under the belief that is the only condition under which now Europe and the United States may become decisively engaged so Britain is provoking Russia to use nuclear weapons against ukraine.
[. . .]
Donald Trump is not in control of american policy. If Donald Trump was in control of American policy he would have signed an executive order by now, which ended the Biden administration's policy directive of seeking the strategic defeat of russia. But trump hasn't changed that, which means the official policy of the United States that you know is the foundation for what Marco Rubio does, Steve Witco does, Scott Besson does. The official policy is to continue policies that seek the strategic defeat of Russia and the strategic defeat of Russia means the collapse of the Putin regime through economic sanctions. Trump has not rescended that internally amongst his national security people? No not only that he hasn't signed a finding reversing the covert action directives been given the CIA regarding support to ukraine and hostility hostile acts towards russia so we are technically in a state of war with russia right now.
[. . .]
The United States is presenting itself as an existential threat to Russia and until the president reverses from that you can't have good relations.
[. . .]
American people don't know the Russian people therefore they are susceptible to russophobia being told that Russia is evil Russia is bad to fear Russia and when you're afraid of something the government can then put in place policies that generate from that fear that create the potential for conflict.
The British are actually behind all those things. I'm 100% sure.
Is Brittan stuck in the past?
‘Operation Unthinkable’ was a secret military plan proposed by Winston Churchill and developed by the British Armed Forces and the USA in May 1945. It aimed to launch a surprise attack on the Soviet Union and force Stalin’s communist government to retreat from Eastern Europe, stopping the spread of communism.
www.historyhit.com - Operation Unthinkable: Churchill’s Postwar Contingency Plan
Israel attacks Iran
It appears that we [The US] weren't negotiating good faith. That what we were simply doing is buying time to lull the Iranians into a false sense of complacency.
[. . .]
Iran will never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon. If that point hasn't been made right now, I don't know how else to make it. This ends this ends with the demise of the Iranian nuclear program that's just the the reality of it.
Iran striks back
Iran on Friday retaliated against Israel with an unprecedented missile barrage against the country.
[. . .]
Iran fired 100 ballistic missiles, of which five to seven got through Israel's missile defense shield, regional sources told Fox News.
www.foxnews.com - Iran retaliates against Israel with missile barrage
The US foreign policy in chaos
Netanyahu wants them to attack US assets and bring the US in in a significant way. Would he attack US assets and make it look like it came from Iran? Would you put that past him? Not a bit, not I wouldn't put it a foot past him. I don't think he's going to have to though. I think the Iranians are going to be quite angry justifiably, so and I think they probably are going to widen this conflict.
Has World War III already begun?
Anytime you keep planning for conflict and planning for war and seeing dangers everywhere, and then taking actions and steps. They're always going to be reciprocated on the other side. And then one day some spark happens which causes a slow grow and slow buildup to an outright explosion and then all bets are off.
[. . .]
Israel launched and started the attack against Iran. Iran was doing nothing to Israel. The only thing that Iran did in this particular case is that they did not submit to the demands of Israel and the United States, and so Israel chose to start a war. And they had this massive destruction and then they assassinated people.
[. . .]
We have to change the trajectory, because we are on a trajectory to start a global, to stumble into a global war. There was, I can think a couple of books that we sleptwalked uh in our way into World War.
UK is sending more military aircrafts to Middle East
The prime minister is neither ruling in nor out the prospect of British jets helping Israel – as happened in both April and October last year.
Iran has warned the UK, France and America that were they to support Israel, their ships and bases in the region would be regarded as legitimate targets.
"We've already been moving assets to the region, including jets, and that is for contingency support across the region," Sir Keir told reporters.
Rappid escalation
The Israeli Iran war continues to broil and in fact it continues to escalate. The missile strikes going back and forth between the two sides. The target set expands and the end to the war is further and further apart, and it's not even clear if anybody knows where the war is going or what they're trying to accomplish.
[. . .]
be careful what you wish for because it could end up a lot worse than it was, and I don't need to go through the wreckage i've done it too many times before, but you start going into regime change because you have this fantasy that it's going to turn out better you're almost always going to be wrong.
[. . .]
they didn't attack Israel. Israel started this war. Let's be crystal clear. From the outset here this is an Israeli chosen strike that they claimed was preventative, and all it did was prevent peace.
[. . .]
It is so easy folks to start a war. It is damn hard to end one. And once these things start, I've been telling you this ever since we've had this channel, wars take on a life of their own.
[. . .]
if we [US] attack Iran. If we join in with this attack with Iran, then it is almost certain that Iran will turn those missiles against our bases and we have no defense against it.
If you look at the statements by China and of Russia at the UN security council emergency meeting, and they were absolutely clear this was illegal. It was against the UN charter. It was against the standards of values of the diplomatic world. It was against international law and they condemned it utterly. And this will have an impact because there's a thing under article 51 of the United Nations which means the it's called the collective defense and that Iran can appeal to the collective defense procedures, so that countries like China states like Russia like Pakistan, I mean, have an absolute legitimate um reason and are obliged to come to the help of Iran.
[. . .]
Now Iran has made a decision yesterday that it is going to attack hard and it is going to demilitarize Israel. I can't tell you if that will be successful, but that is what is intended and I don't think they're about to back down into a truce or into some form of ceasefire and certainly not until they've reached their objectives will that be talks again with the Americans. So this has been a big failure.
The Russians and the Chinese may be able to work something out because they have a big big stake in the oil and the fact that, you know, Iran is right next to Russia. There they don't want an atomic explosion or a nuclear explosion and the fallout going through the past Caspian Sea. I mean the nuclear issue is key here. Nobody mentions it, but I don't put it past Netanyahu in dire straits, you know in extremists as we say to resort to nuclear weapons. Why does anybody call attention to that? That's what I think is motivating the Russians and the Chinese.
Trump is playing a very dangerous double game and in in the process of playing this game he's completely discredited himself. You know no leader in the world, especially Vladimir Putin, will trust anything that Donald Trump says going forward particularly after this version of Pearl Harbor on Iran that took place last Friday.
[. . .]
This is all about regime change that started under Joe Biden.
[. . .]
Elon Musk Starlink played a role in this. Starlink went live on June 13th. The date that the attack started, so Starlink is being used as a communication device to coordinate the different terrorist attacks that are taking place in Iran right now, so at some point I wouldn't be surprised to see Russia come to Iran's aid with some electronic warfare capabilities to turn Starlink off.
