A long ago interview of Putin.. (paraphrased) ……… explaining how one could take a map of the world, put a pin in it anywhere… and the U$ would claim it had “interests” in that location.
Coerce a deal from a compromised illegitimate puppet… and voila…. The U$ has “interests” in Ukraine it must protect.
——
Why is Zlieslylenskyyy hesitating to sign?
a) the rare earths and minerals don’t exist?
b) the infrastructure and other hard assets that the U$ is also including in the Trump Take have already been sold … to “interests” greater than Trump… the French Rothschilds? The City? Israel?
A weasel like zlielenskyyy would sell out in a nanosecond… but even he knows he can’t sell what he no longer owns.
…………
And yes, Jerr…the nominated value of the Ukrainian “assets” are not coincidentally close to the $350b? Of frozen Russian reserves [but aren’t they held in Euros?]

“Initially, everyone was waiting for the ‘Big Arrows’, then, recognition that it was an ‘Attrition’ campaign.
While everyone was distracted by the ‘Hollywood’ images coming out, few realised the real battles was with the hearts and minds of the Global Majority and economics.”

Trump has a lot of chutzpah, asking to be paid for weapons his country gave to kill Russians.
I hope the Russians stand their ground all of the pressure is on Trump.

Friend, Trump doesn’t really care about the Ukrainian rare earth dirt. He cares about getting the $350 billion in sanctioned Russian assets. The ploy is to get a US property interest in Ukraine of roughly equivalent value so he can negotiate the $350 billion away from Putin.

That’d be really interesting if true because I suggested exactly this idea to end the war a couple weeks back here at MoA.
I added that’d be a good deal for Russia, 50 to 100 thousand soldiers and 250-350 billion euro is a good price to pay for possession of the Ukraines territory and surviving infrastructure, liquidation of neonazis, addition of 20-25 million inhabitants, and forced stimulation of Russian economy due to sanctions.

What I see the likelihood of is Britain and France organising the assassination of Trump and his key appointments, one by one, over the coming months.
If they did it in similar ‘terrorist’ fashion to the assignations in Russia it could plausibly be MSM’d to the US population with suitable scapegoating as being carried out by disgruntled illegal immigrants and their crime gangs or rogue Democrat sympathising elements of the FBI, CIA etc, and that would would tip the US into internal chaos.
The EU power brokers must surely hate the US with sufficient passion to relish the idea and it would instantly stop the Trump machine in it’s tracks, leaving the EU to continue a terrorist style war of attrition against Russia as they seem to be gearing up for with limpet mines on commercial vessels and the two new British sea drones just developed, etc etc etc.

Last time I wrote, I was fearful of the German election results. Still am fearful of what is to come now that they’ve been announced.
Someone at the Global South Hearty Salon shared a link to a German RT article and a translation of the last two paragraphs.
https://de.rt.com/meinung/237643-alternativlos-deutschland-waehlt-instabilitaet/

What’s in it for Russia? It is in our interest to strengthen the anti-system parties and forces in the Federal Republic of Germany, so a six-party Bundestag would be best: with the strongest possible AfD, the factions of Sahra Wagenknecht’s Alliance and the Left, but without the FDP. The political storm in Europe will only get rougher, both because of Trump and because of the internal crisis of the European integration project, the problems with Atlantic unity and the damaged relations with Russia. Friedrich Merz’s Germany will remain the locomotive of Europe, but the train ride on this damaged locomotive will be bumpy, slow and marked by the squabbling of passengers.
Over time, the anti-system parties will break through the firewall that was put in front of them on their way to power. Only then will the opportunity arise to return to constructive relations with the Germans.

Make of it what you will.

RT Just now:
Trump reveals how he wants to be remembered. The US president says he seeks to leave a legacy as a “peacemaker,” rather than a “conqueror”.
Someone posted in here last week that Trump is probably angling for a Nobel Peace Prize. How prescient!
But would those libtards ever give him one? It would prove him right as The Dealmaker Extrordinaire. Heaven forbid.
And the funniest thing is that he has single-handedly spun the US and NATO and the EU ***losing the proxy war against Russia*** into a celebration of his “peacemaking” powers!!! And of turning Zelensky into the intractable warmonger the West made him. Oh, oh, my sides hurt from the laughter. A bit like bestowing one on Nixon for “making peace in Vietnam”.

Hilariously more so, is the list of his fellow travellers he helpfully provides.
The whole thread reads like the last moronic words of bunch of dreamer mercenaries and fantasist before their last battle knowing the war is lost. They are tucked and they know they are.
Given that all of these villains haven’t risked their own lives or wealth and encouraged the poor demented lied to Ukrops to such proxy deadly folly – where they encourage dragging old men to the killing fields – to empty the lands of the Slavic Russian speakers for their Unpseakable Masters.
They should be charged for their crimes, they should face loss of wealth and even liberty for their role, a long planned role for the masters they served. They should be just as prominent accused as the the Nazi scum they inspired and supported – they should be on the front benches with their shapeshifter masters. ..
In their own lying words – they fucked around so let them be forced to find out!

We condemn the Russian state’s aggression and demand that it withdraw immediately all its forces from Ukraine. We believe that there can be no justification for this aggression. We support Ukraine’s independence and territorial integrity, and the Ukrainian people in their resistance to the invasion. We stand with the Ukrainian people against this aggression, and embolden our efforts against fascisms and authoritarianisms in all their manifestations.”
“We are currently seeing the same process in the Russian media. RT (Russia Today) announced that the invasion was carried out to “denazify” Ukraine. This is just a mirror image of “War on Terror” during the Bush administration. Only chauvinists will be convinced by this partisanship journalism.”

The US+Russia together are to weak to impress their will on Ukraine and their european allies. Just let that sink in, the US and Russia will look like losers on the geopolitical stage if Ukraine with the help of Europe manages to keep the war going successfully for months and years to come.
Trump would look weak after promising a quick end to the conflict without including Europe/Ukraine in the negotations and if his attempt to extort ressources from Ukraine as compensation for the US aid would not materialize. Putin would also look weak because his attempt to exclude Europe/Ukraine from negotiations likewise failed miserably if the war drags on with potentially only minimal gains and at a huge cost to Russia.
The young lions Europe/Ukraine that have been told lies to keep them down for a long time are about to reject all the false narratives that the declining has-beens US and Russia told them for decades. By getting rid of the ideological chains that held them back for so long they will be able to display their true overwhelming power and emerge as the new kings. This is the law and beauty of nature, that the strong come into their own and wipe away the lies of the weak.

It would be useful to understand the full list of European military industrial complex and weapons. Considering even the loser Rutte reacently admitted Russia outproduces the entire NATO 4 to 1, they must be outproducing the EU by around 12:1.
So EU want to fight the proxy war at a 12:1 disadvantage? Print 700 billion euros and use their pension funds for an already lost cause for Ukraine, where 90% of financial aid is stolen, a big chunk of weapons sold on the black market (because its a disorganized loser country with no future and officials / high ranking military men see it).

Well occasionally they will show the brains being blown out, the hanging from a balcony, the firing squad to quickly dispense the troublesome, or even a bayonet shoved up the arse of the Troublesome turncoat… sometimes a fake trial to ‘legitimise’ such punsihment for having turned on the Powers That REALLY Exist.
They are whom I call the shapeshifters , they are generally the creators of Money – which they use to capture real wealth from humanity. They have done so for Millenia! They shift shape from nventing nations and identities.
Currently if you take Blackrock and the handful that ‘manage’ most of the collective wastes holdings and investments as a cartel; add I. The fellow revolving door Bankers and a few dozens of dynastic families – you pretty much have the caboodle of these you seek!
Sometimes they or their brats make it to TeeVee.
Sometimes they make a MooVee.
But amongst themselves and their aristo elite servants they are well known and they demand recognition and a lifetime of servitude. They control and build billionaire moguls, who hire the house slaves to become millionaires by being very loyal.
The German election, like every other in the collective waste and many of its satraps around the world is pantomime.
There is no chance that any government in Germany or any ‘mature western democracy’ gets elected if its aim is to dismantle the invasion of 80 years ago. The miltary domination by occupation forces under the hand of the Great Owners.
None at all.
Or do you believe that Merck or Weidell would have demanded that the WW2 occupation must end immediately?
The US bases must be evacuated?
The poxy few U.K. ones too?
Can the Japanese demand the same?
Can the Phillipines?
He’ll can even the Australians and British tell the Yankee Doodle ‘over paid,over sexed and over here’ to Go Home?
Yeah I’m MAGA , and so should all such imperial occupied lands and Peoples should be too.
Make America GO AWAY.

That’s how to get rid of the Vampyre Bankers and Shapeshifters who rule by media censorship and fake cultural supremacist hegemony on TeeVee.

-RUAF has captured most if not all AFU fortified positions N/NW of Velyka Novosilka
-foothold for further move toward Sevchenko
-RUAF to bypass the next AFU east-west fortified line from the rear (i.e. east)
-RUAF captured the final AFU defensive position W of Andriivka
-Consequentially RUAF significantly improved their position in this part of the front
-There will likely be no direct attack on Slavyansk from the east, it could end up in semi-cauldron like Pokrovsk
-AFU is stretched thin, RUAF have offensive when it comes to their offensive south/SW of Pokrovsk or SW of Slavyansk
-RUAF need to clear the large pocket between Toretsk-New York-M23 road south of Slovyansk to continue
Kursk:
-RUAF captured half of Lebedevka
-Current battle in Novenke and Basivka
-Objective is to starve the AFU grouping in and around Sudzha and force AFU to deploy forces to protect against this attack (the first AFU counter-attack suffered many tank losses with tactical withdrawal battles, and unconfirmed reports claim helicopters are now used here)
