In a classic case of a chronic narcissist defending his ego by using displacement, Trump’s international impotence and failures to achieve success are being taken out on Americans and those cheap wage earners deemed ‘illegals’ who conveniently work in US industries to keep prices lower and maximize profits for employers.
Yet another example today where Trump declares War on Chicago (which successively votes Democrat) over ‘immigration’. Yesterday it was because Chicago had the “highest crime rates”, yet higher crime rates exist in three Republican states.
The psychological defence mechanism of Displacement is when through frustration developed by having to submit to greater powers you cannot control, you then take it out on something else. The classic case is a worker who has an oppressive boss but desperately needs the money. He may come home and kick his dog as a result.
Americans at home are Trump’s dog to kick when failure takes place with his international calamities .

The entire plan of those elites who now control our lives through the corrupt leaders and venal media, is to cause excessive divisiveness, make us lose confidence in other human beings, and that particularly applies to the family. Studies done in the US reveal that marriages now last 7 years on average. Unmarried couples maybe even less. That has an enormous impact on family members and social cohesion.
It’s simply Philip II of Macedon’s ‘divide and conquer’ being used to break up larger concentrations of power between people to prevent unified opposition. The plan is to isolate everyone and cause an exacerbated “war of everyone against everyone” (as Thomas Hobbes called it in his book Leviathan). I wonder who that serves? Chomsky covered very well this in his “Requiem for the American Dream” as well.

This is not directed at you specifically, but what would a false flag be needed for?
The West has been at war with Russia for centuries, but overtly since 2014.
The Americans and British can and will do anything with or without a rationale.
That’s why there is a genocide going on with no one stepping in.
The old rules (which never actually existed) no longer apply.
International law no longer applies, and the American Constitution no longer applies.
It’s always been a dangerous world, but now that fact is unavoidable for anyone with 2 brain cells to rub together.

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent:

We are prepared to increase pressure on Russia, but we need our European partners to follow us.
We are in a race now between how long can the Ukrainian military hold up versus how long can the Russian economy hold up.
And if the US and the EU can come in with more sanctions, more secondary tariffs on the countries that buy Russian oil, the Russian economy will be in full collapse and that will bring President Putin to the table.
Trump also said today that they are ready to move on “second stage” of sanctions against Russia.

@AussieCossack
*…Russian economy will be in full collapse
Seems we’re circling back to SanctionsFromHell ™️ magical thinking.

Shabana Mahmood demanded that prisons be opened to the British, as they were overcrowded with Pakistanis. She also emphasized that she was a Muslim and that Muslims (Pakistanis) were better than the British.
Previously, she had called for the stoning of Jews and advocated the takeover of Great Britain.

There is a method to EU madness. By their constant talk of sending peace keeping force after peace deal signed they are making sure conflict goes on and no peace deal ever signed as EU / NATO peace keepers a red line for Russia.
Then by supplying further arms they are prolonging the conflict resulting in further shrinking of Ukraine territory.
By letting 18 to 22 leave probably with their parents and younger siblings depopulation of Ukraine. Add the dead also.
May be they feel Ukraine expendable and using it as a battering ram hoping to break Russia.
Or is it something else?
Once Ukraine realise this guns could be turned west.

The China Monogolia Russia pipeline will change the dynamic..
the loss of the war in Ukraine has already changed the dynamic..it has demonstrated that the people in charge of the western governments are not of the same make and model as the citizens they govern. An ugly take-over monster seems to be in charge of all of the interconnected western nations?
Palestine statehood may change the dynamic.
What happens in Venezuela may change the dynamic..
Chinese industrial and technological strength has changed the dynamic..
BRICS+ is changing the dynamic each day it exist..
all of this has happened since 2014.. because it was not until then that the Eastern world understood it was under attack.
The refusal of Ukraine people to deny the Zelenski government in favor of Russian oversight is difficult for me to understand. NATO – Ukraine is destroying the assets and people of both Ukraine and Russia.. but is NATO – Ukraine the same as Ukraine?
The support of the UK government by British residents is difficult for me to understand because the wealth of the nation is hidden far away in tax havens while domestic taxes are being diverted to fight foreign wars.
The part that Turkey (Erdogan) is playing in all of this is difficult for me to understand.
The failure of the world to come to defend human rights in Gaza is difficult for me to understand.
But a world where no one wants to enforce the un_inalienable rights of mankind really tells the story..
Deep down everyone wants to kill everyone else. They just want someone else to do the killing.

We are witnessing a lot of erratic and desperate behavior from Europe and the US and that may account for what is generally going on.
Trump’s erraticism set it off, and there is no doubt the US wants out under his administration. All we hear about is new talks, and more talks, and threats, and talks etc. I guess the most lamentable loss for the US is if weapons cannot be sold to the Europeans who are facing stiff economic times. Due to Israel, the US cannot afford more war in Ukraine either, and can only make more threats to Russia that carries on regardless of what anyone says. Russia is doing well on the ground in Ukraine, planning to take more territory and achieving its goals. It’s also shoring up economic and military support through BRICS and SCO. All the US can talk about is more sanctions and making further threats to BRICS countries, none of which seems to be working.
Ukraine is finished, its forces are tired and weak. It functions out of lies, fake claims, and fake news. Zelensky is hardly popular now, is not elected, and I think he is trying to appeal to young Ukrainians and repopularise himself by letting many go, the ones that demonstrated not long ago. His days are numbered, he is desperate and needs to watch his back. Russia is upping attacks in Kiev and towards the west, as well as getting closer to threatening the Dnipro as we saw with the recent bridge strikes. It’s not going well for anything in the Donbas region for Ukraine, a few pointless Ukrainian attacks but Russia is now a well oiled military machine that takes pretty large swathes of land every day. Some big cities look lined up to fall.
Europe and NATO? Well the mistake is to take Europe as being something like a single country which it is not. It is a loose collection of different countries with different languages and different cultures. Without the US it has little leadership now, and the US planned to weaken it anyway. My view is that we’ve been witnessing more than a year of threats and posturing now that has led to virtually nothing. Much of Europe including Britain has serious economic problems and cannot afford to give more money and weapons to the black hole that is Ukraine. I think the various players in the countries involved act quite independently from each other but still have a sense they have to stand up from time to time and say a few waffling words to look as if they are actually doing something for the team. They keep playing the game, doing their jobs, but achieve nothing. Some of the leaders are facing disasters at the polls and are about as popular as sewer rats given their people have seen through their lack of concern for their needs.

Redefining “Victory”
https://www.rt.com/russia/624264-ukraine-winning-putin-occupation/

Zelensky, however, insisted in an interview with ABC News’ Martha Raddatz which aired on Sunday that Moscow’s ambitions go further. “Putin’s goal is to occupy Ukraine, it is to destroy us… For him that’s victory,” he claimed. “And until he can do it, the victory is on our side… For us to survive is a victory.”

A PR message to the Ukrainian people, who need to be re-edumacated what “victory” means. Not long ango, Z’s definition of victory was “not one inch of Ukrainian land” (I’m paraphrasing). Now, he’s trying to convince them that as long as Ukraine exists as a country (with him as El Jeffe Hero in charge, I assume), Russia will be defeated.
I mean, what happened to Ukraine saving the Beautiful Garden economies, defender of democracy, destroyer of evil hordes from the East, heavenly angel floating above the soil – what happened to this Ukraine? Now, it is happy to “let’s just survive?” Well, half the country is surviving just fine – outside of Ukraine; they don’t need Z’s inspirational speach or musical leadership to “just survive”. What a pathetic, un-talented, useless leader.
Well, I’m not gonna tell Z, but that’s exactly what Russia hopes for. Ukraine to become a country the size of Lithuania, and the rest of it going to Russia, Poland, Hungary, Romania, Moldova (feel like I’m missing one). You know, a country that is “just surviving”.

Now, no one in the West would dare to repeat N1 and N2.
And if…China is not Germany, Russia kept quiet for once (although no one really knows whether they kept quiet).
The West is much more dependent on its submarine connections and its hydrocarbon supply than Russia or China.
A Western attack on this new pipeline would be a declaration of war…whereas N1 and N2 represent a declaration of war on Germany, hence NATO.
From this perspective, this pipeline is pretty much secure!

How can these two pipelines be equated ?
Does it not occur to these two and others who proclaim the same idea that the two pipelines have significant “physical differences” (with all that this entails)???

Russian bigwigs, have suggested that the British terrorist outfit the SBS, is the most likely candidate to have planted the explosives that blew up the NordStream pipelines, like I keep saying never trust Perfidious Albion.
“The sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines could not have been carried out without Western commandos, a top aide to Russian President Vladimir Putin has claimed, singling out Britain as the likely culprit.
German prosecutors have attributed the explosions in international waters in September 2022, which disabled the twin pipelines supplying Russian gas to Germany via the Baltic Sea, to a group of Ukrainian nationals.
In an article published Sunday in Kommersant, the former head of Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB), Nikolay Patrushev, argued that Ukrainians lack the expertise to carry out this complex operation independently.
The sabotage was likely “planned, overseen, and executed with the involvement of highly trained NATO special forces,” Patrushev wrote, adding that the perpetrators were experienced in deep-sea operations and familiar with working in the Baltic.
“Few armies or intelligence services have divers capable of executing such an operation correctly and, above all, covertly. One unit with the necessary skills is the British Special Boat Service,” he said. Founded during World War II, the SBS is the Royal Navy’s elite squad specializing in amphibious warfare.”

Tired of waiting for a Russian attack. Announces it will attack first…. In response to increasing aggressive Russian rhetoric.
Riiiight.

David vs. Goliath. European country announces preemptive strike on… 18 August 2025, 14:51 In an interview with Estonian public television ERR in September 2024, Estonian General Vahur Karus stated that if Moscow showed signs of preparing for an attack, Estonia would strike first.
“Our ability to neutralize the enemy on their own territory is critical,” he explained. In the following months, Estonia continued this policy. At the end of July, the country’s defense ministry published a defense strategy aimed at “countering threats before they reach Estonian territory.” “Russian train stops in Suwałki Isthmus allegedly due to a malfunction.”
Europe is preparing for Putin’s attack……

While Trump and his administration really want to disengage from Ukraine (well I’m not even sure that all members of Trump administration are on the same page), it doesn’t mean they want the war to end, just that it continues with Eurotards in the lead. So all this theatre between Trump and Putin cannot mask the double play of the US. The objectives are the same as ever, whether Trump respect Putin his best friend or not.

No wonder the citizens of Ukraine aren’t protesting; they can’t be seen in public protesting without their nails and tatoos.
