“I would not like to offend anyone, God forbid. But when I ask my colleagues, ‘What is Europe lacking right now?’ the answer is, ‘they lack brains.’"

-Russian🇷🇺 President Vladimir Putin

Europe wants to stop the ending of a proxy war on its own continent, which they have borne the brunt of the economic damage from after their sanctions boomeranged and hurt their own economies.

🚨REPORTS: Germany's BILD newspaper reports that European security services and politicians are worrying about a deal between Trump and Putin which would see an END to the US military presence in large parts of Europe.

"It's about (Russian President Vladimir) Putin's 2021 demands, i.e. a withdrawal of US troops from all NATO states that joined the alliance after 1990,” an unnamed Eastern European security official told BILD.

If the US accepts Russia's demand, NATO is in effect dead. One of the most violent military organisations in history, responsible for the destruction of entire nations, will be in complete disarray without a US military presence.

Finally, some realist foreign policy may prevail and peace may be on the horizon between the superpowers. Russia has felt encircled by NATO's waves of expansion. If the shoe were on the other foot and Russian bases were in Mexico or Canda, there would have already been a war between Russia and the US.

US-Russia tensions will ease in a way that they haven't for decades, but knowing the foreign policy establishment in Europe, they won't capitalise on the opportunity to integrate Russia in a security agreement from Lisbon to Vladivostok, instead they will likely pursue escalating tensions by deploying their forces to the NATO states that joined after 1990.

Dictator Zelensky should not be compared to Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill may have not held an election during World War 2 until the Nazis were defeated…but he did not ban opposition parties and ban major newspapers like Zelensky.

🚨🇺🇸🇺🇦Donald Trump called Zelensky a dictator, which has seen the UK’s and Europe’s politicians scream with outrage, along with media outlets in the US, UK and Europe. Here’s a list of actions proving Zelensky IS a dictator:

Political parties banned by Zelensky:

1. Opposition Platform – For Life (OPZZh) which was the second largest party in Ukraine’s parliament

2. Shariy Party

3. Nashi (Ours)

4. Opposition Bloc

5. Left Opposition

6. Union of Left Forces

7. Progressive Socialist Party of Ukraine

8. Socialist Party of Ukraine

9. Socialists Party

10. Volodymyr Saldo Bloc

11. Communist Party of Ukraine

12. Nash Krai

Laws against trade unions:

Law 5371 (ratified August 17, 2022):

Removed collective bargaining rights for workers at companies with fewer than 250 employees (about 70% of the workforce), replacing them with individual contracts. It also stripped unions of veto power over dismissals and allowed employers greater flexibility to alter working conditions, such as extending the workweek to 60 hours.

Law 5161 (passed July 19, 2022):

Legalised "zero-hour" contracts, reducing job security and union influence by allowing employers to schedule minimal hours with workers on-call.

-Law on Organisation of Labour Relations in Martial Law (signed March 23, 2022):

Suspended collective agreements during wartime and banned strikes and protests, effectively paralyzing union activities under the pretext of national defense.

Zelensky’s censorship:

-Unified Information Policy (March 19, 2022):

Merged all national TV channels into a single state-run platform, "United News," ending independent broadcasts by private outlets.

-Banned the opposition news website Strana (dot) ua (banned August 20, 2021)

-Law on Media (signed December 29, 2022):

Expanded the National Broadcasting Council’s authority to regulate print, broadcast, and digital media, allowing the government to censor or shut down outlets like Google platforms. The National Union of Journalists of Ukraine called it "the biggest threat to free speech" in the country’s history.

🚨🇺🇸REPORTS: US DEFENCE SECRETARY TO SLASH BALLOONING MILITARY BUDGET

The Washington Post reveals that US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth plans to slash the US military budget annually over 5 years, to bring military spending down from $850 billion to $500 billion.

This coincides with Trump announcing his plan for demilitarisation and nuclear arms control negotiations with Russia🇷🇺 and China🇨🇳, where he said “one of the first meetings I want to have is with President Xi of China, President Putin of Russia. And I want to say: ‘Let’s cut our military budget in half.’ And we can do that. And I think we’ll be able to.”

This is the first major attack on the military-industrial complex’s grip on US politics and foreign policy. By reducing tensions with Russia and China and getting them to halve their military budgets, it reduces the ‘foreign enemies’ justifications used by politicians bought by the military-industrial complex to vote for increased spending, and opens the door to spending more on US infrastructure and less on the military.

JOHN MEARSHEIMER:

‘Why should the neighbouring states pay for what Israel and the United States did in Gaza? The United States and Israel destroyed Gaza. The Israelis were executing a genocide…and Netanyahu did it in cahoots with Joe Biden and the West. We should pay for the rebuilding of Gaza, the Israelis should pay for rebuilding Gaza.’

🇷🇺🇺🇦They’ve been planning this proxy war since the 1950s:

A declassified 1958 CIA report shows the US’ plan to destabilise the Ukrainian SSR and Soviet Union

The CIA considered western Ukraine as more promising to carry out anti-Soviet activity, while judging Crimea & Donbass to be least promising

This was the CIA’s plan all along, which was finally executed with the first shot fired with the Maidan Coup in 2014.

PROF. JEFFREY SACHS:

‘Trump doesn’t even recognise Europe, why should they be at the negotiating table? Europe should have been negotiating but it said ‘no, we will never negotiate’ until this moment.’

‘The United States has been involved in over 100 regime change operations since the end of WW2. Russia just saw the US pushing further, putting its missile systems, NATO enlargement, leaving the INF agreement, leaving the ABM agreement. Europe wouldn’t acknowledge any of those provocations because the only word you could use in Europe is ‘unprovoked’’

🚨SEVIM DAĞDELEN SLAMS GERMANY’S CENSORSHIP ON ISRAEL

‘J.D. Vance has a point on this because we have a lack of freedom of speech in German society in the last few years…now we do have an attack on freedom of speech and the freedom to protest regarding Israel because of the unconditional support of the German government regarding the Israeli war in the Gaza Strip, in sending weapons, in helping them militarily and politically…’

‘Everyone who is criticising the far-right extremist government in Israel, they say this is anti-Semitism…that’s why we have to forbid their lectures at the universities, we have to punish people in schools when they criticise the Israeli government, and also cut the funds of theatres, of actors and so on. So it is a very big attack on freedom of speech.’

🇷🇺🇺🇦🇩🇪SEVIM DAĞDELEN: Everyone who advocated for negotiations to end the Ukraine war was SMEARED as a Putin asset

‘Everyone who was in favour of negotiations, to stop killing people and end the war were defamed as Kremlin puppets…the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance split from the Left Party because they left all the positions on peace. Some of them were in favour of weapons deliveries to Ukraine, and are still in favour of sanctions against Russia which are hurting the German industry and the German people, not Russian industry as we know…’

‘We split because we were from the beginning the only party who were in favour of negotiations and also against NATO expansion which is the cause of this conflict, and I welcome that the new President of the United States Donald Trump sees this cause of this conflict and says there is no prospect of Ukraine joining NATO.’

🚨🇺🇸🇺🇦Vice President J.D. Vance SLAMS Zelensky

‘President Zelensky’s country wouldn’t exist without the generosity of the USA. So say thank you. And if you have a disagreement with the President, pick up the phone and call him…don’t go on a media tour around Europe badmouthing the President of the United States. It’s insulting to him, it’s insulting to me. And by the way, it’s stupid. Everyone who knows the President would tell you that badmouthing him in public is not the way to get the President to change his mind.’
