Regarding US movement to disengage from its long-lost cause of its proxy war in Ukraine, unlike four years of Biden, President Donald Trump is now at least talking to Russian President Vladimir Putin. On Wednesday February 12th Trump held a 90-minute phone conversation with Putin discussing a peace resolution. It’s the first conversation between a US president and the Russian president in three years. After the conversation, on his Truth Social platform, Trump wrote that among other things the two discussed:
The great benefit that we will someday have in working together.
In the meantime, a team of US representatives led by Vice President JD Vance met last Friday February 14th with their Russian counterparts at the Munich Security Conference to further dialogue on ways to end the Ukraine conflict. Apparently the Wall Street Journal misquoted VP Vance in a February 13th article claiming Vance threatened Russia with more economic sanctions (that have only boomeranged in the past) and even US military action if Vladimir Putin refuses to end the war this year. JD Vance later clarified that he only emphasized all options were open, not that US soldiers would be on the ground fighting the Russians. Leave it to WSJ to twist words into hyperbolic aggression to escalate the conflict.
But in Munich last weekend before an audience of European leaders, JD Vance openly criticized the continent’s governments for criminalizing free speech and how they fell adrift from the liberal Western democracies’ traditional values of tolerance toward dissenting views. With VP Vance’s boss Donald Trump criminalizing critics of Israel-US genocide for violating antisemitism laws, Vance is the hypocritical “pot calling the kettle black.” Needless to say, JD’s Munich reception was one of cold insult and indignation as Europe never encountered an American vice president addressing them this way, directly chastising them so publicly.
This event marks what’s been in the making for some time – splintered separation the US is currently seeking from its allied commitment to the European Union and NATO, two globalist Euro-organizations in Brussels that have always been closely aligned and joined at the hip with America. Actually, this harsh Vance stance serves as a temporal marker now rendering the Atlantic alliance historically fractured as America and Europe cope with a geopolitically diminished West facing an ever-changing, now multipolar world where the longtime imperialist kingpins no longer rule the hegemonic roost. So, Vance delivered the implicit message that Europe must look after its own self-interest as America must its – along with Israel’s, as the one foreign nation owning both Trump and the US Congress.
Even though illegit powerless Kiev dictator Volodymyr Zelensky has no real say whatsoever in the US-Russia negotiations, and was purposely excluded from the US-Russia meetup in Munich last weekend, desperado Zelensky went to the Munich summit anyway calling last month for 200,000 soldiers from “an army of Europe” to be deployed in Ukraine as peacekeepers, being forced to give up on a unified US/NATO security force. After last week Zelensky pledged giving away Ukraine’s rare earth precious metals and mineral deposits as payback concessions for further US protection, last Saturday in Munich Zelensky echoed this changing political landscape:
Many leaders have talked about Europe needing its own military, an army of Europe. And I really believe that time has come. The armed forces of Europe must be created. Now we can’t rule out the possibility that America might say no to Europe on issues that threaten it.
With it setting in that both Europe and Ukraine can no longer depend on the US for everything, on the first day of the Munich conference on February 14th, Zelensky demanded:
Until we are part of NATO, we need an army capable of protecting the country. This means NATO-standard weaponry and a sufficient number of trained Ukrainian troops. Based on calculations with our military leadership, that means an army of 1.5 million soldiers.
Over a million Ukrainian soldiers have now lost their lives fighting against the Russian army, with many of the dead forcibly conscripted teenagers and men over 60. With the US/NATO forces financing, arming and training the Ukraine military for over a decade, at nearly a million soldiers, the Ukraine army is said to be the largest army in Europe. But now Zelensky is demanding the next Ukraine army to be at least 1.5 million soldiers strong, which at this point means grabbing almost every male trapped in the war-ravaged hellhole nation. You think this Zelensky ever cared at all for his own Ukrainian people, other than using them as sacrificial cannon fodder fed into the Russian meatgrinder? This ever-desperate lunatic so afraid of being left out of the peace talks is only more afraid that he’ll be discarded as Ukraine’s deposed war criminal responsible for the heartless death of more than a million of his own citizens. In an interview the very next day on Saturday February 15th with NBC News, Zelensky blurted out how Putin is about to next attack NATO members:
For sure [Putin wants a brief pause to] prepare, train, take off some sanctions [prior to attacking not just Ukraine but NATO as well]. It can happen in summer, maybe in the beginning, maybe in the end of summer. I don’t know when he prepares it, but it will happen.
Fearing he has lost continued support from the NATO Western bloc, this megalomaniacal psychopath is frantic to incite terror amongst European leaders to again run to his rescue. Despite all his Munich charades seeking dire attention during the three-day event, as Kiev’s illegit president having canceled Ukraine’s last national election mandate with mounting pressure for election soon, Zelensky knows he has run out of borrowed time and is now attempting to remove his potential rivals in Kiev lining up to replace him. Meanwhile, the world nation community sees him as a persona non grata and deadweight liability.
Intensely perturbed that Russia and the US are actually meeting bilaterally in Saudi Arabia without him after being rebuffed by the US-Russian delegates in Munich, with thoroughly bruised ego, Zelensky told journalists on Monday February 17th that he refuses to recognize any agreements made between the US and Russia without his presence. The little dictator even went to Riyadh on Tuesday to allegedly meet with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, though the liar falsely claimed it was unrelated to the ongoing Moscow-DC talks in Riyadh.
Speaking of other bruised egotistical liars, lifetime Rothschild agent Emmanuel Macron also feeling left out in the cold, contacted the Saudi royal prince as well, afterwards writing on X claiming he discussed the situation in Gaza, Lebanon and Syria, but just had to blow smoke up Salman’s ass as well as his own:
The role Saudi Arabia could play in fostering a solid and lasting peace, with Europeans at the center of the process.
But that wasn’t enough, Macron is hosting his own “emergency summit” in Paris this week with all his other sidelined prowar EU buddies discussing how they should handle the US-Russia bilateral discussion that could potentially bring peace. The lackey lapdog war lovers of Europe know their City of London moneychanger masters would be unhappy if peace breaks out in Europe, and hell will be paid if they fail to stop it. The two European nations with leaders possessing the balls to confront the lame weak leaders of Europe are Slovakia and Hungary. Budapest’s Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto on Monday called those gathered at Macron’s Paris summit “warmongers,” adding:
We trust that the American-Russian negotiations will be successful, and we hope that this will lead to peace in Ukraine as soon as possible… However, we must also see that in Europe, those who do not want peace are organizing.
Feeling left out, Macron’s Paris pity party is intent on heading off US and Russia in order to sabotage their peace process that the European warmongers have worked so diligently hard to keep going these last three years in Ukraine at all cost. With Trump’s Ukraine envoy Keith Kellogg courting Europe to join in Munich, Europe’s puppet leaders felt duped. Last weekend Kellogg assured Russia the US has no intention to commit US troops to Ukraine, instead urging NATO members to step up to increase their defense budgets. Overall, after three years of unending war, this latest turn of events marks a potential light at the end of a very dark tunnel, finally towards possible peace.
But per the February 16th Telegraph, UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, also sulking for being left out, restated that he believes Ukraine is still on the path to NATO and the UK is ready to play a “leading role” providing security guarantees for Kiev, once the ceasefire agreement is secured, even willing to place UK peacekeepers in harm’s way in Ukraine, knowing full well that Moscow will not stand for Ukraine to enter NATO nor for any European peacekeeping troops in Ukraine. Clearly the leaders of Europe are going out of their way to ensure that the US does not strike a peace deal with Russia.
Again, pissed at their exclusion, last week the lame EU let it be known that it wants a seat at the negotiating table. Funny how the very same countries that for the longest time wanted to ensure that war continues for “however long it takes,” now are all jumping for a piece of the action on board this supposed peace train bandwagon. France, Germany, UK, Italy, Spain, Poland, the European External Action Service as well as the European Commission all put out an official joint statement:
Ukraine and Europe must be part of any negotiations. [Kiev] should be provided with strong security guarantees. Shared objectives should be to put Ukraine in a position of strength. We share the goal to keep supporting Ukraine until a just, comprehensive and lasting peace is reached. A peace that guarantees the interest of Ukraine and our own. Security of the European continent is our common responsibility.
All the Western leaders in Europe are behaving like petulant, immature, rejected little boys, pouting and carrying on desperately as wannabe ringleaders bent on continuing the war, no doubt following their City of London orders. France, Britain and Germany are frantic to retain America’s binding Article 5 commitment to NATO, even willing to pull off a false flag to forcibly drag the US into fighting their war, very much like Israel’s Netanyahu is doing everything in his power to force the US into the larger war against Iran.
Back on February 12th, The Wall Street Journal reported that China made it known that Beijing would be happy to mediate the peace process over Ukraine. Recall that a couple years ago, China successfully brokered the deal that normalized relations between previous Islamic adversaries – the Sunni led Saudi Arabia and Shia led Iran, staking out its international prowess as peacemaker.
Meanwhile, the meeting between Trump and Putin has been set up in Saudi Arabia. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov concurred that the Saudi Kingdom is a viable neutral third-party location that enjoys warm relations with both Russia and the US. On February 13th last week, Peskov stated:
[The 90-minute Putin-Trump phone conversation was a] very important achievement. [It] set in motion an apparatus of aides, ministries and so on, that will now gradually begin dialogue and prepare the next contacts. Now that the leaders have demonstrated political will and provided their aides with the necessary instructions to initiate communication, we ask for a bit of patience. These discussions need time to gain momentum.
Peskov described Trump and Putin’s phone dialogue as “constructive,” with both leaders agreeing that Trump predecessor Braindead Biden did “enormous damage” to US-Russia relations. As if the US has any real say holding limited bargaining chips in Ukraine, for the first time last week, Trump’s Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth specified that the US will now accept the current annexed Russian territory rather than still insist on the pre-2014 fantasy that Russia always rejected. In response to the bogus Zelensky claim that Putin is planning to attack NATO this summer, Trump disagreed, insisting Russia does not pose a threat to NATO members:
No, I don’t agree. Not even a little bit. [Russians] they’ve been fighting for a long time. They’ve done it before… They have a big, powerful machine. They defeated Hitler and they defeated Napoleon. But I think he [Putin] would like to stop fighting.
National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Trump investment billionaire turned Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff all met on Tuesday February 18th in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia to initiate bilateral talks with Russia. The American delegation met with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, Putin’s foreign policy aide Yury Ushakov and Russia’s chief executive of its sovereign wealth fund RDIF (Russia’s Direct Investment Fund) Kirill Dmitriev to prepare the necessary groundwork for the proposed Trump-Putin summit scheduled later this month, prior to the Muslim holiday Ramadan that begins on February 28th. On the eve of Tuesday’s meeting in Riyadh, RDIF executive Kirill Dmitriev told CNN:
What we want is good dialogue. Actually, it’s US businesses who lost $300 billion from leaving Russia. I think it’s very important that by not working together, $300 billion have been lost by US businesses… I think it’s very important to build bridges. I think that Russia-US relations are very important for the world. I think it’s very important that the US and Russia cooperate together, and jointly, we can solve problems.
The presence of the RDIF chief executive as well as prominent US investor Witkoff both attending the Riyadh meeting signifies strong mutual interest in doing business together, Trump the dealmaker sending Witkoff to talk to his Russian counterpart. With Russia the planet’s resource kingpin and Ukraine endowed with natural resource wealth, the road to peace could establish opportunity for worthwhile mutual investment between the US, Russia as well as Ukraine. The fact that US incurred a major financial setback losing $300 billion when US companies left Russia over the Ukraine conflict, serves as motivation for this dialogue. Russia and the US apparently seek to do business as a potential pathway paving the way to peace. Per a Bloomberg article on Sunday February 16th, Trump is optimistically pushing for a permanent ceasefire settlement in Ukraine on or before April 20th Easter.
Light at the end of the tunnel? Last week Trump once again took to blaming the Ukraine debacle on his Braindead predecessor. What he failed to mention though is throughout Trump’s first term in office, he continued to arm, finance and train Ukraine’s military to become bigger and stronger than the army of every single NATO member in Europe. Trump also did nothing to stop the Pentagon’s two dozen covertly installed bioweapon labs operating in Ukraine that Russia stopped. As the often lying, full of himself showman, while conveniently omitting inconvenient facts from all his braggadocio blowhard boasts, Trump did correctly assert:
I don’t see any way that a country in Russia’s position could allow them [Ukrainians]… to join NATO. I don’t see that happening. And long before President [Vladimir] Putin, Russia was very strong on the fact. I believe that’s the reason the war started, because Biden went out and said that they could join NATO, and he shouldn’t have said that.
On Sunday February 16th, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov’s words ringing true, told Russian media:
That country [Ukraine] cannot really answer for its words. Each time it is necessary to make a certain adjustment when negotiating with them, for their deficit of sovereignty and the deficit of trust in them. Which will not go anywhere.
But this problem with Ukraine’s lack of credibility to trust also extends to the United States as well. The infamous promise uttered by US Secretary of State James Baker at the behest of President George HW Bush in 1991 to the Soviet Union’s last Premier Mikhail Gorbachev, that the US would not move NATO “one inch eastward” is a lie for the ages. Then the Victoria Nuland led US coup in Kiev in February 2014, overthrowing the then democratically elected Ukraine president was what started this Ukraine conflict, further compounded by the 2014-15 Minsk Agreements. The US sent German Chancellor Angela Merkel to deceitfully con Putin into signing the Donbass truce, solely to enable the US/NATO to bide time, financing, arming and training Ukraine’s neo-Nazi military to wage bloody civil war against the ethnic Russian population residing in the Donbass region. The US Empire of lies has a horrendous track record for cutthroat deadly deception and Putin knows this fact all too well. So, from Moscow’s point of view, laying the groundwork today toward peaceful resolution with Washington is far easier said than done.
This is a very good article, written at warp speed only hours after actual events.
Thus far, Trump has surprised even his strongest supporters and totally discombobulated his enemies with his audacity. He has moved with lightning speed to expose the corruption of the globalists and destroy their deep state arsenal. His team, from Tulsi to Marco, is speaking with a single voice, unlike in his first term from the outset. He knows he has a strong hand against his Western hemispheric neighbors and Europe and is going to force their surrender.
But above all, Trump is a nationalist and businessman. He understands when the United States has been taken advantage of by the globalists and is going all out to settle the economic score. The four nations originally slated for tariffs–China, Mexico, Canada, and Europe–all have whopping trade surpluses with the United States thanks to the globalists and their business and governmental cronies, which makes them especially vulnerable to tariffs. Europe, in particular, is highly dependent on the U.S. for its defense (even their advanced missiles require U.S. approval to fire), energy (now that Norstream2 is blown and Russian sanctions are devastating Europe’s supplies), economic exports, social media (not one decent social media company in Europe remains), and advanced technology (e.g., AI). Europe will have to cave in to the tariffs or move its industry to the U,S. to escape them, an economic win for the U.S. in either case. In Ukraine, rather than just pulling out, Trump is presumably going to make a deal with Russia to split the wealth of Ukraine in exchange for helping to dissolve the Ukrainian nation and its military threat. In this way, he can claim “victory” even as Russia sweeps across Ukraine’s territory and destroys its military and sovereignty. (Of course, the alliance with Russia also makes for a very nifty counterbalance to the greater threat to American interests in the form of China). Even in the Middle East, his immoral and seemingly crackpot notion of turning Gaza into a 21st-Century “Riviera” while turning the Palestinians out may lead to another economic win for the U.S. Egypt has offered to help rebuild, as may other Arab nations, and that means potentially lucrative business deals for the U.S. And once a lot of nations develop economic stakes in Gaza, would Israel dare again to blow it to smithereens, even if Palestinians and Hamas remain? Trump the businessman and nationalist may see mainly dollar signs everywhere for the U.S., but if his vision leads to a breakdown of the globalist order and a decisive turn for peace in the world, why complain?
