🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s interview to the US bloggers Mario Naufal, Larri Johnson and Andrew Napolitano (Moscow, March 12, 2025)

Key talking points:

• I think what is going on in the United States is a return to normalcy. <...> The fact is that a normal administration without any, you know, unchristian ideas came to power and the reaction was such an explosion in the media, in the politics all over the world is very interesting and very telling.

• When we met in Riyadh with Marco Rubio, Mike Waltz and Steve Witkoff they suggested the meeting and they said, look, we want normal relations in the sense that the foundation of the American foreign policy under the Donald Trump administration is the national interest of the United States. But at the same time, we understand that other countries also have their national interest.

• It is very well understood that countries like the United States and Russia would never have their national interest the same. They would not coincide maybe even 50 or less percent. But when they do coincide this situation must be used to develop this simultaneous and similar interest. But when the interests do not coincide and contradict each other then the responsible countries must do everything not to allow this contradiction to degenerate into confrontation, especially military confrontation which would be disastrous for many other countries.

• The beginning of the special military operation was a decision because all other attempts, all other alternatives to bring things into some positive dimension failed for ten years after the illegal coup in Kiev, in violation of the deal signed the night before and guaranteed by the Germans, French and Poles.

• I don't think the Americans would drop from NATO. At least President Trump never hinted that this might be the case. But what he did bluntly say was that if you want us to protect you, to give you security guarantees, you pay what is necessary.

• But President Trump doesn't want to provide these security guarantees to Ukraine under Zelensky. He has his own view of the situation which he bluntly presents every now and then, that this war should never have started – that pulling Ukraine into NATO in violation of its Constitution, in violation of the Declaration of Independence of 1991, on the basis of which we recognized Ukraine as a sovereign state. For several reasons including that this Declaration was saying no NATO, no blocs, neutral status. Another thing which this Declaration also confirmed and solidified - all rights of Russian and all other national minorities are to be respected.

• Europe and the UK they certainly want this to continue. The way they received Zelensky in London after the scandal in Washington, it's an indication that they want to raise the stakes and they are preparing something to pressure the Donald Trump administration back into some aggressive action against Russia.

• It's not about the territories, it's about the people who were deprived of their history by law. Territories are important only because people live on these territories. The people who live on the territories are descendants of those who for hundreds of years were building Odessa & other cities on those very lands who were building ports, roads, who were founding those lands and who associated with the history of this land.

❗️ The Americans know that we would not betray our commitments, legal commitments, the political commitments which we develop with China.

A Conversation with Foreign Minister Lavrov https://sonar21.com/a-conversation-with-foreign-minister-lavrov/

🐍A Snake is still a Snake🐍 - K T Kotov

We must learn to take nothing Mr Trump says at face value. He is a master deceiver, manipulator and con-man. Everything he says is a Psy-Op, a ruse intended to keep everyone guessing. A narcissist keeps his victim in a state of confusion by imposing different realities at different times, making the subject doubt their own mind. It's been called "Gaslighting" and it's intended to undermine a person's grip on reality, in order to impose an illusion; that the narcissist is exceptional and legitimately above their victim.

Trump there to be a caricature, a puffed up version of himself just like in his days acting the ruffian in the World Wrestling pantomime; now he can slap Trudeu with Tarrifs, mock Macron and humble Starmer, he can even toy with Zelensky like a cat claws at a half dead mouse. He's just amusing himself and distracting everyone while the boys from DOGE go to work dismantling Government and crashing the Globalist Economy.

Last week, Gaza will be cleared out and rebuilt into Trump's Riviera and Ukraine is Europe's problem, so all aid for "No Cards" Zelensky from the US is ended. This week, No one is removing Palestinians and Military Aid and Intelligence are restored to Kiev.

As all this goes on, a US Delegation, having just met with Officials from Kiev in Ryadh, Saudi Arabia are rushing to Moscow to pressure the Kremlin to agree to a Ceasefire.

I pray that no one in the Kremlin is foolish enough to believe a single word any American Official says, especially Trump. Lavrov promised; no Ceasefire of any kind.
Russia has lost upwards of one hundred thousand good men; nothing less than the objectives they fought for can be accepted. No NATO, Neutrality for whatever is left of Ukraine, Demilitarisation, De-Nazification, Self-determination for Ethnic Russian Ukrainians and the removal of the Criminal Kiev Regime.

Key Russian Oblasts like Nikolaev, Odessa and Kharkhov should also be returned to Russia; even Kiev. Is Kiev not among the first Russian Cities? Let the Nazis have their Capital in Lvov.

The Terms must be Unconditional Surrender and complete capitulation.
To "settle" for less would betray all Russians and all of us who support Russia as a great and righteous Civilization; perhaps the last great, Christian Civilization. The Satanic West will act like it has really changed this time, like an abusive spouse that promises to be good after some violent incident, but always slips back into toxic behaviours once the memory fades of the last broken promise.

Be wise Russia, just as one can put lipstick on a pig, one can put a cute ribbon on a snake; but a pig is still a pig and a snake is still a snake; neither can change their true nature.

ZELENSKY: THE FINAL ACT OF A WESTERN PUPPET REGIME

The Financial Times just confirmed what Moscow has known all along: Zelensky is in his “final act.” The walls are closing in, and Ukraine’s political vultures are already circling.

The script was always predictable—Western-backed strongman clings to power, overplays his hand, loses Western favor, and gets discarded when he’s no longer useful.

“We are in the final act [of Zelensky’s presidency].” – Senior Ukrainian official to FT

What happened to the “Churchill of Ukraine”? The “defender of democracy”? Simple: He outlived his usefulness.

WASHINGTON WANTS AN EXIT, AND ZELENSKY IS IN THE WAY

🔻 Zelensky’s term ended in May 2024—but there were no elections. The “democracy” Kiev was supposedly fighting for? Dead on arrival.
🔻 Trump has already called him a “dictator without elections.” And the Biden-era blank checks are gone.
🔻 Kiev’s army is bleeding out. The FT admits Ukraine only has six months of fighting left without U.S. support. That’s if the EU picks up the tab, which it can't without US backing.

And then there’s the manpower crisis. Not enough soldiers, not enough weapons, and not enough time. The Biden-era dream of endless war is collapsing, and Washington is scrambling to manage the fallout.

Then Russia's position: Putin has dismissed Zelensky as a political ghost, saying Ukraine’s parliament is the only legitimate authority left. This is checkmate.

🔹 Washington doesn’t trust him.
🔹 Moscow doesn’t recognize him.
🔹 Ukraine’s own political elite are plotting his replacement.

The puppet’s strings are fraying.

FINAL VERDICT: ZELENSKY’S DAYS ARE NUMBERED

The FT is setting the stage for his exit. Kiev’s corrupt political elite are already forming alliances for the “post-Zelensky” era. The only question is whether he gets thrown under the bus politically, or meets a more “permanent” fate.

Either way, Zelensky is done.

NO TEMPORARY DEALS, NO WESTERN STALLING – RUSSIA DEMANDS REAL PEACE

Russia’s message is loud and clear: No fake ceasefires, no temporary pauses, no NATO-approved delays to let Ukraine reload. Yury Ushakov, Putin’s top foreign policy aide, just crushed any illusions that Moscow is interested in another Western-managed “peace charade.”

“A long-term peaceful settlement that takes into account the legitimate interests of our country and our known concerns.” – Yury Ushakov

Translation? If the U.S. and Kiev think they can buy time to rearm, they’re delusional.

TRUMP’S ENVOY: DIPLOMACY OR DAMAGE CONTROL?

🔻 Steve Witkoff has landed in Moscow. But why? The Russian position is no secret. Putin, Ushakov, Peskov: all have been crystal clear: No temporary ceasefires, no Western smokescreens.
🔻 If Witkoff is just delivering another “30-day ceasefire” proposal, he might as well turn around.
🔻 But if he’s here to deliver something serious, off the record, behind closed doors, that’s another story.

On the surface, this reeks of another Trumpian circus, where the White House pretends to be crafting “deals” for the cameras while the reality is that the West, not Russia, is the one desperate for a pause.

THE WEST NEEDS THIS CEASEFIRE, RUSSIA DOESN’T

The facts on the battlefield tell the real story:

✅ Russia is advancing in Kursk, Donbass, and along the entire front
✅ Ukraine is running out of manpower, tanks, and ammunition
✅ NATO’s weapons stockpiles are depleted, and there’s no miracle supply chain to fix it
✅ Trump and his administration is scrambling to contain the damage of Biden’s failed Ukraine policy while avoiding a total NATO humiliation

Moscow isn’t stopping because it doesn’t have to. The war is nearly won for Russia, and no amount of American envoys will change that.

THE WEST CAN TALK, BUT MOSCOW DECIDES

Ushakov has already briefed Washington on Russia’s position. So why is Witkoff really here?

🔹 Is this about quietly beginning the inevitable negotiating of Russia’s terms for total Ukrainian surrender?
🔹 Or is this just another U.S. attempt to stall and reset the losing game?

One thing is certain: Russia holds all the cards. If Wikoff is here to beg for time, he won’t get it. If he’s here to negotiate real terms, Moscow will decide what comes next.

🇺🇸 Trans activists went a Korean spa in San Francisco and attempted to publicly shame staff for their sex-based policy.

Trans activists tried forcing a Korean spa to accept gender identity.

But she remained calm and collected, repeating the same logical point: a nude spa is segregated by sex, not gender identities, to ensure the comfort and dignity of their patrons.

A lot of talk about a Democrat civil war brewing. But consider their current debates:

- Should men play in women's sports?
- Should we cut waste, fraud, and abuse?
- Should we run $2 trillion annual deficits?
- Should we have a border, or nah?
- Should firebombing Tesla stores be a crime?
- Should we deport illegal rapists and murderers?

So far they've managed to pick the losing end of nearly every 80/20 issue imaginable.

In 2024, they sided with mentally ill men who wanted to humiliate women in sports, and they're following it up by siding with Hamas propagandists and people who firebomb car dealerships.
