While Russia and the US Talk Peace, Zelensky Redecorates Like a Pyromaniac
As senior Russian and American officials engaged in 12 hours of intense backchannel diplomacy in Riyadh, aimed at defusing the Ukraine war and restoring maritime stability in the Black Sea, Kiev was busy sending its own signal: one dripping with delusion, narcissism, and violent fantasy.
Enter Zelensky’s latest stunt: a photo op inside his office, standing smugly in front of a painting of the Kremlin engulfed in flames.
The image, published by Time magazine just as the peace talks were underway, revealed not only a total lack of diplomatic seriousness, but a deeply disturbed psychological profile. According to Time, Zelensky personally curated this mini gallery of war-porn: one painting showing Ukrainian troops attacking Russian territory, another his reported favorite, the Kremlin, Moscow’s most iconic building burning to ash. A third, reportedly showing a Russian warship sinking in the Black Sea, lurks just out of frame. Together, they’re not artwork, they’re a psychotic manifesto.
Maria Zakharova didn’t mince words. Asked to comment, Russia’s Foreign Ministry spokeswoman offered a blunt diagnosis: “A psych ward.”
And she’s not wrong. This isn’t leadership, it’s a madman daydreaming about nuclear escalation. Federation Council member Vladimir Dzhabarov put it even more bluntly: “The man is sick in the head… He made his dreams come true, apparently the dreams of all Ukrainian neo-Nazis.”
It’s not just symbolic; it’s strategic. This grotesque imagery was released in the middle of good-faith talks between Washington and Moscow, talks that could determine the future of Europe’s security architecture. Yet instead of encouraging diplomacy, Kiev sabotaged it with psychotic visuals and tantrums aimed at its own backers.
And speaking of tantrums: Kiev also launched a character assassination campaign against Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff. His crime? Sitting down with Tucker Carlson and speaking with measured realism about the territory Russia now holds, and the fact that they are historically Russian-speaking lands. Kiev’s response? Accuse Witkoff of being a Kremlin agent. That’s not just delusional, it’s a middle finger to the entire Trump peace team.
It’s also deeply revealing.
While Russia continues to honor the partial ceasefire, despite repeated violations by Ukraine, Zelensky’s team is melting down. The signals out of Kiev show a regime terrified of peace, terrified of losing relevance, and incapable of behaving like a serious negotiating party. And that suits Moscow just fine. These talks, after all, aren’t really about Ukraine anymore. They’re about the US and Russia defining the next phase of the post-unipolar world.
Ukraine? Ukraine will be told how it is.
And if Kiev wants to self-immolate on a pile of NATO weaponry while hanging paintings of Armageddon in the presidential bunker? So be it.
Russia’s watching and so is the Global Majority.

Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg accidentally added to Signal chat with TOP Trump officials, sees top-secret Yemen attack plans
JD VANCE: ‘Let’s go. I just hate bailing Europe out again’
HEGSETH: ‘I fully share your loathing of…’
RATCLIFFE: ‘good start’
🤔 Well I guess Ratcliffe knows but Signal has yuge backdoor to CIA. Too funny. Yes Goldberg added but in general perhaps not the best app to be using for such planning. Don't they have something more secure? 😂

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul Dodges on ICE Help, Admits She’s Okay Deporting Criminals With Warrants
New York Governor Kathy Hochul says she would be “fine” with deporting migrants who have warrants against them , but carefully sidesteps the broader question of cooperating with ICE on mass deportations. “Someone breaks the law, I’ll be the first one to call up ICE and say, ‘get them out of here.’”
But here’s the punchline nobody in the legacy media will say: Hochul just quietly admitted her sanctuary-state policy imported thousands of individuals who should never have been let in to begin with. And now, she wants to tiptoe out of accountability by drawing a line at “those with warrants,” hoping voters won’t notice the explosion in crime, drug trafficking, and social chaos directly tied to her open-door approach.
This isn’t policy, it’s panic damage control, repackaged as “compassion.”

Tariff Blitzkrieg: Trump’s Venezuela Oil Strike Isn’t About Caracas — It’s a Warning Shot to Beijing
Donald Trump just dropped a geopolitical hammer wrapped in crude oil.
As of April 2, any nation daring to buy Venezuelan oil, including China, will get slapped with a 25% tariff, payable to the U.S. Treasury. That’s not diplomacy. That’s imperial tribute collection. And the message is clear: Play with Maduro’s oil, and you’ll pay Washington for the privilege.
Venezuela, sitting atop the largest proven oil reserves in the world, over 303 billion barrels, just became the latest pressure point in Trump’s multipolar chess match. Officially, the reason is that Caracas has been “purposefully and deceitfully” sending violent criminals to the U.S. border. But we know the script: this isn’t about criminals. It’s about controlling the global flow of energy and punishing those who step out of line.
Especially China.
Beijing has been a lifeline for Venezuela, purchasing millions of barrels, propping up Maduro’s collapsing economy, and quietly challenging the U.S.-led sanctions regime. Trump’s new tariff isn’t just economic warfare; it’s a warning shot to Xi Jinping: You want to bankroll anti-American regimes in the Western Hemisphere? Fine. But you’ll pay us for the honor.
And the most revealing part? U.S. refiners, like Chevron, Valero, and Phillips 66, are exempt. America still gets to gorge on Venezuela’s heavy crude, while the rest of the world gets a tax bill. That’s not policy. That’s piracy under a Stars and Stripes.
China won’t flinch. With the world’s largest population and a colossal, self-reinforcing domestic market, Beijing isn’t about to be bullied by Washington’s tariff theatrics. Xi’s calculus is simple: if Trump wants to play hardball, China will respond with yuan diplomacy, alternative payment channels, and deeper integration with BRICS. The days when the U.S. could threaten global trade with economic isolation are over. The Global Majority, spanning Latin America, Africa, and Asia, is increasingly done with playing by Washington’s rules. If anything, these tariffs will only accelerate the decoupling China already welcomes and Venezuela will have no shortage of buyers outside the decaying grip of the U.S. dollar.
This isn’t Trump playing 4D chess, it’s Trump bulldozing the board.
It was Biden who relaxed sanctions in 2022, handing Chevron sweetheart deals to operate in Venezuela. Trump just tore up the agreement and threw it into the flames. He’s reversing every last concession, rerouting the flow of capital and energy back into Washington’s pocket.
And it comes just one day after Venezuela agreed to resume deportations of illegal immigrants from the U.S. A backroom handshake? Maybe. But the public blow came fast and hard.
Let’s be clear: this isn’t just about Maduro or oil. This is Trump reasserting the Monroe Doctrine 2.0, with tariffs, not traditional power projection.
The era of polite diplomacy is over. What we’re watching is economic warfare cloaked in populist rhetoric, and the message is loud:
Buy oil from America’s enemies, and you’ll pay America anyway. But China and Venezuala won't take it laying down. It's going to get interesting. 🍿

Trump says deal on Ukrainian minerals to be signed ‘SOON’
Also discussing ‘power plant ownership’ and ‘territory’ earlier today.
🤔 If puppet Ukraine sticks to its current suicidal course, there won't be any minerals, rare earths or energy to hand over to the US. But no worries, Russia is always ready to make pragmatic win win deals with reliable partners. Can the US become a reliable partner? Time will tell.

Another Hero Falls in the Line of Truth
Izvestia war correspondent Alexander Fedorchak has been killed in the Kharkov region near Kupyansk, just one day after his final report aired from the frontlines. His death is still under investigation by Russian authorities.
A Crimean son and fearless truth-teller, Alexander wasn’t hiding behind a desk. He was on the ground, documenting the harsh realities of NATO’s proxy war on Russian soil, speaking for those Western media erase with silence. He died doing what Western journalists fear: telling the other side of the story. The real one.
His death is a tragic loss not only for Russian journalism but for the multipolar world itself, a world he was helping illuminate. In an age of information warfare, where lies fly business class and truth travels by trench, Alexander stood tall and paid the ultimate price.
His killers? Not just the Kiev regime. But the NATO war machine that trains it, funds it, and fuels it. Washington’s fingerprints are all over the bullets that silence truth on this front.
To Alexander’s family, friends, and colleagues, our deepest condolences. Your pain is our collective sorrow. But know this: the truth he died for will not be buried with him. It marches forward. Stronger. Louder. Bolder.
🙏 Rest in peace, Alexander.

Canada Just Picked a Fight It Can’t Win – Again
Ottawa just dragged Beijing to the WTO, huffing and puffing over Chinese tariffs on Canadian potash exports. Carney & Co. want us to believe this is about “fair trade,” but everyone knows it’s retaliation theater, starring a country that long ago traded diplomacy for virtue-signaling. Funny he's parroting Trump admins fair trade line. Almost like Trump also represents a different brand of Globalists.
The newly selected Carney regime, still drunk on Five Eyes groupthink, wants to slap China’s hand for daring to push back on Canadian exports after years of Ottawa toeing Washington’s hostile anti-China line. From Meng Wanzhou’s arrest to constant parroting of US Indo-Pacific strategies, Canada has played junior attack dog. Now it’s shocked there are consequences.
Potash may be vital for global agriculture, but Canada betting on the WTO in 2025 is like bringing a paper straw to a gunfight. The Global South doesn’t flinch at Western whining anymore. China’s domestic market alone, with 1.4 billion consumers and a rapidly maturing tech-industrial base, insulates it from these petty legal tantrums.
Ottawa can file all the disputes it wants. But in this multipolar world, the real power isn’t in Geneva courtrooms. It’s in Shanghai boardrooms, in BRICS+ summits, and in backroom deals that don’t care what Canada thinks.
Welcome to the new global order, Carney. The empire’s rules no longer apply. Enjoying the Carney carnival.

US Accuses Russia of Using Icebreakers to Spy in Arctic – DHS Secretary Noem
Washington now thinks icebreakers are high-tech Kremlin spy tools. What’s next, snowballs as weapons of mass disruption? When you’re losing global influence, everything looks like a Russian op. Maybe DHS should focus on the actual border.

Michael Anton Led U.S. Delegation in Riyadh — A Subtle, Seismic Shift in Washington’s Tone Toward Moscow
The meeting already happened. Behind closed doors in Riyadh on Monday, as Russia and the U.S. engaged in over 12 hours of delicate diplomacy, one man at the helm of the American side went largely unnoticed by mainstream headlines — but his presence could signal something big for Russia: Michael Anton.
This wasn’t just a generic bureaucrat showing up for photo ops. Anton is Trump’s former speechwriter, but more importantly, the ideological architect of the “America First” doctrine, a worldview that has always treated endless wars, NATO overreach, and Russophobia with cold-eyed contempt. This isn't to naively buy America First, serious people know it's always Israel First but just maybe America nearly first when it comes to Ukraine.
Back in 2016, Anton’s now-legendary Flight 93 Election essay warned that America was on a suicidal path, hijacked by liberal elites, entangled in unwinnable wars, and bleeding out domestically. He’s been consistent ever since: the U.S. has no business turning Ukraine into a forward operating base for the globalist empire, and no national interest in provoking a nuclear peer over 20th-century borders.
Now, this same man just led the U.S. team in direct, creative, technical talks with Moscow. Think about what that signals.
Anton has criticized both parties’ addiction to war, mocked the neocon lust for confrontation, and openly said that Russia was provoked. He warned that pushing NATO to Russia’s doorstep would guarantee a crisis, and he was right. In a 2022 essay, he torched the “Russophobic Kennanphiles” who ignored George Kennan’s original warnings.
In Riyadh, Anton wasn’t just talking maritime logistics or grain corridors. His presence represents the reemergence of a pragmatic, realist camp in Washington, one that might finally be ready to face the facts: Russia isn’t going anywhere, and the days of dictating terms to Moscow like it’s 1991 are over.
For Russia, Anton’s elevation to chief negotiator may be the first clear indication that Team Trump’s foreign policy reset isn’t just rhetorical. It’s operational. And it aligns, almost imperfectly perfect, with what Moscow has been saying from day one: security is indivisible, NATO expansion is a red line, and the West’s unipolar fantasy is dead.
Anton’s historical and geopolitical depth gives him the rare ability to understand the Russian position, particularly around Crimea, the Donbass, and the linguistic and cultural identity of the Russophone population. He is one of a ree Americans in DC willing to publicly acknowledge that these are not bargaining chips, but historical facts.
His presence also sends a quiet, deliberate message to the likes of Zelensky: Washington’s patience with Kiev’s tantrums, fantasy maps, and NATO pipe dreams is seemingly wearing thin. Russia is at the table. The grown-ups are talking. And if the U.S. side is finally led by someone who gets the Russian mindset , someone who isn’t infected with Russophobia, it bodes very well for a long-overdue shift toward realism.
The unspoken conclusion of Monday’s talks? The war could end, not in fantasy, but in the real world. And Anton’s appointment shows that, for once, America may be waking up to that reality. Hope always dies last. Certainly more chance for peace than 3 months ago.

Fake VP Audio Targets Elon Musk — JD Vance Calls Out AI Psy-Op
A deepfake audio clip, falsely claiming to be Vice President JD Vance launching into an anti-Elon Musk tirade, has been circulated online as if it were real. The problem? It’s a 100% AI-generated smear and the account pushing it likely knew it. It's pretty obvious.
“This is not real,” Vance stated bluntly calling out what he correctly labeled as a “fabricated recording” meant to mislead and provoke.
This wasn’t satire. It was a digital hit job.
In a world where AI deepfakes and synthetic media is becoming a weapon of narrative subversion, this is the new front in information warfare: AI-powered deception, posing as political scandal, shared without context to muddy the waters.
Who benefits from framing the sitting VP in a fake meltdown against Musk? One thing is for certain, this "pastor" that posted, must have known it was a fake. His account will likely be burned by X. He should have owned it, and taken down.
🤔 Who signs the checks behind these operations?
And how many more of these are being test-driven on the American public, or used to distract from real global power shifts?
This isn’t a “future problem.” It’s here.
And the deep state is salivating.

WATCH: Bright flash over Israel as IDF intercepts Yemeni ballistic missile
Projectile breaks into fiery fragments mid-air
❗️Interception or not, the optics are devastating for Israel. A a settler outpost once thought untouchable is now bracing for missiles from Yemen regularly. Netanyahu’s desperate war of political survival is backfiring. With every American-backed airstrike and every act of collective punishment against Palestinians and Yemenis, Israel isn’t looking stronger, it’s looking less secure, less viable as a future state.

Trump’s Attorney General, Pam Bondi, isn’t mincing words: “We are seeking the DEATH penalty. The drug dealers need to get out of here because we’re COMING after you.”
This isn’t your average law-and-order campaign. It’s a scorched-earth message to cartel-linked traffickers, fentanyl pushers, and the transnational networks that have fed off America’s open border chaos. The gloves are off. No sanctuary cities, no slap-on-the-wrist sentencing, just federal thunder from the top down.
Bondi’s return as AG under Trump 47 signals a new phase of the America First doctrine: one that blends harsh justice with political muscle. And it’s not just about crime, it’s about restoring the rule of law in a country where criminals were coddled while citizens were left to rot. The cartel state era? Dead on arrival.

It’s a scorched-earth message to cartel-linked traffickers, fentanyl pushers, and the transnational networks that have fed off America’s open border chaos. The gloves are off. No sanctuary cities, no slap-on-the-wrist sentencing, just federal thunder from the top down.
Bondi’s return as AG under Trump 47 signals a new phase of the America First doctrine: one that blends harsh justice with political muscle. And it’s not just about crime, it’s about restoring the rule of law in a country where criminals were coddled while citizens were left to rot. The cartel state era? Dead on arrival.

Greenland Is "Calling" — But Who’s Really Listening?
So Trump says “They’re calling us, we’re not calling them.” (Are the calling after all your missed calls) That’s his explanation for dispatching Second Lady Usha Vance, the National Security Advisor, and the Energy Secretary to Greenland, a mineral-rich, strategically priceless Arctic frontier that just happens to sit between North America, Europe, and Russia. Coincidence? Hardly.
Trump frames it as “friendliness, not provocation.” But let’s not forget — this is the same man who once casually floats buying Greenland like it is a golf resort gone bankrupt. And now, mid-geopolitical match with Russia and China, it’s firmly on the radar. Greenlanders may well be disillusioned with Denmark and the EU, but Washington’s sudden love isn’t charity, it’s positioning.
The Arctic is fast becoming a new front in the great power scramble. Russia is fortified. China is building quiet inroads. The US? It’s arriving with energy deals, “security guarantees,” and a populist face that says, trust us, we’re not the empire anymore. But Trumpism, for all its anti-globalist rhetoric, still plays the empire’s tune when it suits the map. What’s different now is the mask. It’s a different flavor of imperialism, more transactional, less messianic, but still interested in extracting, securing, and projecting, in a world where resource scarcity is the future.
If Greenland is indeed “calling,” one has to ask: do they know who’s picking up the phone? Perhaps they were just returning the call after numerous missed calls?
Trump’s team wants to sell this as a benevolent rescue from EU neglect. But let’s not be naive, the US isn’t offering sovereignty, it’s offering terms. Greenland’s vast rare earth reserves and location near the melting Arctic shipping lanes are what Washington wants. Usha Vance’s symbolic presence just sweetens the PR.
The question is: can a Greenland caught between empires find true autonomy, or is this just the next colonial handshake dressed in populist language?
The multipolar world is rising. And everyone wants a foothold in its most unclaimed frontiers. Greenland is no longer a frozen afterthought, it’s the prize.
“Friendliness,” as always, depends on who holds the pen when the contracts are signed.
