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.’

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: ‘Do you view Ukraine as an equal member of this peace process?’

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

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 US’ proxy. All of Washington’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.

European countries have realised that they are simply vassals, having no real say in Donald Trump’s and Vladimir Putin’s negotiations to end the proxy war in Ukraine, and being expected to pay for Ukraine’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.

🚨WSJ reports that US intelligence agencies have concluded that Israel sees an opening to strike Iran’s🇮🇷 nuclear facilities

Donald Trump’s former National Security Advisor John Bolton predicted on Going Underground that Israel would strike Iran’s nuclear program imminently

‘I believe the most likely course is that the Israelis do go after Iran’s nuclear program. They will never have as good an opportunity, they may or may not get US🇺🇸 help…but I also think it’s possible that Donald Trump could be attracted by the potential for the big deal that thinks only he can make.’

Trump: ‘Zelensky will have to do what he has to do…but his poll numbers are not particularly great, to put it mildly...’

Now the clock ticks for Zelensky, unpopular in Ukraine, with Donald Trump seemingly fed up of having to deal with him. The US🇺🇸 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.

🚨🇺🇦🇷🇺Europe 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 bloodshed…

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.

"In the CIA, we didn't give a hoot about democracy...if a country didn't co-operate with us, democracy didn't mean a thing, and I don't think it means a thing today."

How to wreck a country:

Engage in a suicidal proxy war for Washington

Abandon negotiations to end the war in 2022

Get promised $177 billion in military aid from the US

$100 billion of it goes ‘missing’

Trump demands $500 billion in rare earth metals as compensation for aid

Washington sidelines you in negotiations with Russia to end the proxy war

TRUMP: ‘BRICS died the minute I mentioned that if they want to play games with the dollar, they will get 100% tariffs.’

BRICS is not dead because the US’ use of unilateral sanctions and weaponisation of the international financial system continues.

A BRICS currency may not be talked about as much right now, but the shift towards using other existing currencies for bilateral trade is a clear trend away from the dollar’s dominance.

BRICS was also an inevitability after the US’ unipolar domination along with its vassals in the UK and Europe. After a legacy of Western institutions backing disastrous wars, destabilising foreign policy, and economic domination of the global south, an organisation representing the rising powers and global south nations was sure to rise.

BRICS can’t die because the rise of the nations that are members of BRICS can’t be reversed, the multipolar world is already here. The damage of US-UK-EU foreign policy has already been done.

The global south has grown tired of

Donald Trump says he will speak out about demilitarisation with Russia🇷🇺 and China🇨🇳:

‘There’s no reason for us to be spending almost a trillion dollars on the military.’

Donald Trump is going for the jugular of the military-industrial complex:

1. Seeking to rein in perpetually ballooning military budgets

2. Reducing tensions with the superpowers, who are the necessary external ‘villains’ to justify increased military spending

TRUMP: ‘I don’t see any way that a country in Russia’s🇷🇺 position could allow Ukraine to join NATO…I don’t see that happening…I believe that’s a reason the war the started because Biden went out and said that they could join NATO.’

Finally some realism in US foreign policy, if the shoe were on the other foot, and Mexico or Canada were to join a military alliance with Moscow which would allow Russian bases on their territory, the United States would never allow it.

The Ukraine proxy war stems from the fact that Russia’s security concerns regarding NATO were ridiculed, ignored, and walked all over from before the time Vladimir Putin even became the President of Russia.

Despite Donald Trump entering negotiations with Vladimir Putin to bring the proxy war in Ukraine to a close…

Britain🇬🇧, its politicians, and its media continue to embarrass themselves with bellicose rhetoric about fighting a war suicidal war against Russia

Given the UK’s history, you should not be surprised that the UK is mourning the fact a war is about to end…

🇷🇺🇺🇦🇺🇸 PROF. GILBERT DOCTOROW:

‘General Kellogg is not a believer in finding an accommodation with Russia. Not just the end of the war in Ukraine, but an accommodation with Russia which was Donald Trump’s intention from the very beginning…the problem with all of Trump’s appointees and with Trump himself, is that they are misinformed.’

Prof. Gilbert Doctorow joins us for Saturday’s Going Underground and explains why Donald Trump’s plan to get a share of Ukraine’s rare earth minerals in exchange for continuing military aid to Zelensky is a distraction from the fact Russian victory is looming in Ukraine

US🇺🇸 Vice President J.D. Vance:

“The threat that I worry about vis a vis Europe is not Russia🇷🇺, it’s not China🇨🇳, it’s not any other external actor. What I worry about is the threat from within, the treat of Europe from some of its most fundamental values, values shared with the US.”

‘Putin destroyed the European security architecture, he chose confrontation over cooperation.’

-Head of the Munich Security Conference

Opinions in the land of delusion. Vladimir Putin spent more than the first decade of his Presidency seeking integration into the European security architecture, to have common security from Libson to Vladivostok…

Instead Europe left Russia out in the cold, and instead trampled on Russia’s national security interests by expanding NATO to Russia’s borders despite every wave of expansion being met with Russian diplomatic protests.

Europe’s security architecture is destroyed because NATO acted with hubris after the end of the Cold War, and sought to humiliate Russia rather than pursue a real alliance based on mutual respect of core interests.
