Israeli soldiers shooting and killing pregnant Palestinian women is horrifying but is nothing new

Israeli soldiers have worn shirts showing a sniperโ€™s crosshairs on the pregnant belly of a pregnant Palestinian woman with โ€˜1 shot 2 killsโ€™ written underneath

This is what your tax dollars, pounds, and euros go towards supporting

Finally some sensible statements coming out of Washington. These are signals to Putin that the US is interested in realistic negotiations

Fox News Host Jesse Waters spews genocidal rhetoric:

โ€˜This population in Palestine is hostile, its uneducated. Itโ€™s even more radicalised now than it was as the beginning of all thisโ€ฆtheir birth rate is explosiveโ€ฆdemographically, theyโ€™re a threat.โ€™

Palestine has one of the highest literacy rates in the world, but more importantly, this encapsulates the US and Israeli mindset; a Palestinian is a threat for being Palestinian. The rhetoric calling for ethnic cleansing is based on this blatant racism.

BREAKING: DONALD TRUMP SPEAKS WITH PUTIN๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ

I just had a lengthy and highly productive phone call with President Vladimir Putin of Russia. We discussed Ukraine, the Middle East, Energy, Artificial Intelligence, the power of the Dollar, and various other subjects. We both reflected on the Great History of our Nations, and the fact that we fought so successfully together in World War II, remembering, that Russia lost tens of millions of people, and we, likewise, lost so many!

We each talked about the strengths of our respective Nations, and the great benefit that we will someday have in working together. But first, as we both agreed, we want to stop the millions of deaths taking place in the War with Russia/Ukraine. President Putin even used my very strong Campaign motto of, "COMMON SENSE." We both believe very strongly in it.

We agreed to work together, very closely, including visiting each other's Nations. We have also agreed to have our respective teams start negotiations immediately, and we will begin by calling President Zelenskyy, of Ukraine, to inform him of the conversation, something which I will be doing right now. I have asked Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Director of the CIA John Ratcliffe, National Security Advisor Michael Waltz, and Ambassador and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, to lead the negotiations which, I feel strongly, will be successful.

Millions of people have died in a War that would not have happened if I were President, but it did happen, so it must end. No more lives should be lost! I want to thank President Putin for his time and effort with respect to this call, and for the release, yesterday, of Marc Fogel, a wonderful man that I personally greeted last night at the White House. I believe this effort will lead to a successful conclusion, hopefully soon!

Prof. Jeffrey Sachs is proven right again:

'Trump is absolutely right that the Ukraine war could end in a day. This war will end the moment a US President picks up the phone and says to Putin 'NATO enlargement was a bad idea'...that's the end of the war because that's the whole premise of this war.โ€™

US Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth bluntly stated today that the US does not believe that NATO membership for Ukraine is a realistic outcome for a negotiated settlement. On the very same day, Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump speak on the phone, the first known direct contact between Vladimir Putin and a US President since before February 2022, and agree to immediately start negotiations to end the proxy war.

Reporter: โ€˜Do you view Ukraine as an equal member of this peace process?โ€™

TRUMP: โ€˜...it's an interesting question. I think they have to make peace. That was not a good war to go into.โ€™

The raw dynamics of a proxy war on display. This was always a Washington vs Russia proxy war, the battlefield was Ukraine, Zelensky was the USโ€™ proxy. All of Washingtonโ€™s NATO vassals in Europe are irrelevant.

Zelensky was always going to stop fighting the moment Washington ordered him to stop. That time appears to have now come.

The new media environment:

European countries have realised that they are simply vassals, having no real say in Donald Trumpโ€™s and Vladimir Putinโ€™s negotiations to end the proxy war in Ukraine, and being expected to pay for Ukraineโ€™s postwar security.

Europe has been sleepwalking as a vassal of Washington for the entirety of the proxy war, it took Trump to wake them up and realise their irrelevant vassal status.

Donald Trumpโ€™s former National Security Advisor John Bolton predicted on Going Underground that Israel would strike Iranโ€™s nuclear program imminently

Trump: โ€˜Zelensky will have to do what he has to doโ€ฆbut his poll numbers are not particularly great, to put it mildly...โ€™

Now the clock ticks for Zelensky, unpopular in Ukraine, with Donald Trump seemingly fed up of having to deal with him. The US๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ will force Zelensky to hold elections in the territory he controls and he will lose power.

Zelensky, having outlived his usefulness, will join the long list of former US allies who have been discarded such as Saddam Hussein and Manuel Noriega.

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บEurope is still pursuing the maximalist, unrealistic goal of fighting Russia to the very last Ukrainian, after Ukraine has already lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers, is losing badly, and is running out of people to fight.

While the two superpowers in the conflict, Russia and the United States, seek compromise based on realities to stop the pointless bloodshedโ€ฆ

Europe is still involved in pursuing goals based on delusion. This war will end when the US and Russia want it to end, since this proxy war was always a proxy war between them. Europe was irrelevant in the equation and still is.

If Europe wants to save itself from the irrelevancy it faces in the multipolar world, doubling down on continuing this proxy war, which the entire world wants to see end, is the exact opposite of what they should be doing.
