serious analysts know the U.S. has no leverage, while yuckraine is losing the war.....

The presentation discusses President Donald Trump’s approach to negotiations with Russian President Vladimir Putin regarding the Russia-Ukraine war. Analysts, including John Bolton and former British Commodore Steve Jeremy, argue that Trump has effectively "surrendered" to Putin by adopting negotiation terms that align with Russia’s interests before formal talks have even begun.

Key points include:

European Shock & Strategic Failures: Many European leaders and U.S. officials express surprise and concern over Trump’s stance, but analysts argue that this reaction stems from a long-standing strategic miscalculation by Western elites. NATO and Western leaders have consistently misjudged the situation by pushing political narratives rather than military strategy.

Negotiation Reality: Critics claim that Trump’s administration has made preemptive concessions to Russia, but analysts argue that the U.S. has no real leverage. Ukraine is losing the war, and continued NATO support has not changed the balance of power. Trump’s approach signals a recognition of this reality.

Ukraine’s Role in Talks: Some European officials insist that Ukraine must be central to negotiations, but analysts argue that Russia and the U.S. hold the real power. Every time Ukraine and its allies rejected previous negotiation opportunities, their position weakened, and the conditions offered by Russia worsened.

NATO’s Future & European Security: Trump’s administration signals continued NATO support but focuses on strengthening deterrence rather than direct military intervention. Some warn that this could lead to a renewed Cold War-style arms race with Russia rather than a constructive security framework for Europe.

Long-Term Consequences: The discussion highlights the failure of NATO’s expansionist policies since the 1990s, arguing that ignoring Russia’s security concerns has led to the current crisis. The challenge now is not just ending the war but reshaping Europe's security architecture to avoid future conflicts.

Overall, the presentation portrays Trump’s approach as a stark acknowledgment of geopolitical realities, signaling a shift away from prolonged Western involvement in Ukraine while focusing on broader NATO security measures.

stopping peace?....

The Putin-Trump phone call has sparked an outcry on both sides of the Atlantic among officials looking to keep the conflict going forever. What forces could bring their resources to bear to stop peace?

 

Volodymyr Zelensky

Has the most to lose, facing not only the cutoff of easy-to-embezzle Western aid, but potential assassination by the neo-Nazi thugs helping keep his regime afloat.

Zelensky could sabotage peace by: a) rejecting Trump’s orders b) making a deal for support from other NATO powers c) staging a false flag provocation to justify keeping the conflict going, something already done successfully in the spring of 2022 to bolster Western support.

 

EU and UK

Arguably more heavily invested in the Ukraine project than the US, and the main beneficiaries of the 2014 Maidan coup, EU countries and the UK could take over US commitments. This would cost Europe $3.1 trln over 10 years, per a new assessment by Bloomberg Economics.

 

US Congress

Without Congressional support, Trump won’t be able to lift Russia sanctions, nor fully halt money and arms being sent to Ukraine.

Only Congress can approve or block new aid packages. If Democrats and even a handful of hawkish Republicans (of whom there are plenty) teamed up, Trump’s plans to bring pressure to bear on Kiev could be frustrated. The president does have veto power over Congressional funding, which would require a two-thirds majority to overcome -something unlikely in a Congress now filled with more MAGA Republicans than ever.

 

Deep State

After Trump’s election in 2016, elements of the deep state, ranging from the intelligence community and State Department to top officials like Mike Pompeo and John Bolton successfully sabotaged his agenda, including Trump’s desire to improve relations with Russia.

In his first term, Trump 1.0 ended up not only ramping up anti-Russian sanctions and joined the diplomatic expulsion wars, but approved arms aid for Ukraine in 2017.

The deep state has its own ideas about the ‘right’ trajectory for US foreign policy.

In 2020, Trump Syria envoy Jim Jeffrey offered interesting insights into how the Washington apparatus works, boasting about how he and his staff obfuscated and covered up the true size of the US military footprint in Syria, and straight up ignored the president’s demands to withdraw troops.

In Ukraine, where the strategic, military and economic stakes are far higher, it’s guaranteed the deep state will try to sabotage Trump.

Whacko Fmr. USAID Director John Bolton BRAGS About Grenade Award From USAID!

 

On Piers Morgan's show, John Bolton — Donald Trump's beyond-hawkish national security advisor from 2018 to 2019 — displayed a "farewell gift" he received from USAID during the Reagan administration after being in charge of its policy and budget: A personally-engraved USAID hand grenade.

“I was in charge of policy and budget at USAID during the Reagan administration, when we undertook a major effort to fix it,” Bolton said. “And I'm going to show you my farewell present from AID. You can see it's a hand grenade. And it says on it: John R. Bolton, Truest Reaganaut, AID 1983. This is a style of government.”

Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss why it’s fitting that Bolton received a grenade from an organization responsible for fomenting war all over the globe.
