Giovanni Bellini Pietà c1460 • Putin Should Be The ‘Leader of The Free World’ – Medvedev (RT) • Musk Tips Vance To Become US President (RT) • U
[See the full post at: Debt Rattle March 2 2025]Good morning :-))
A highly recommended interview:
“Debbie Lerman is a Harvard grad, Brownstone Institute Fellow, and medical and science writer from Philadelphia. Debbie has a sharp mind and well researched opinions on “What is really going on”. In March 2020, her research into Covid quickly resulted in her losing faith in every institution she once trusted. She started writing with the goal of determining how it happened and who was responsible. Debbie discovered nefarious links and surprising discoveries that nobody else in the world had uncovered. We discuss Trump, RFK, climate, US military, CIA, NIH, MAHA, Fauci, Chrystia Freeland and more.”

Did RT turn into a ZH tabloid? Beginning to look that way, amazing what a bit of flattery will do to Putin.
I now better understand this whole mess about the RARE EARTH ‘deals’.
Krainer is informative. 1H 09. https://tinyurl.com/3tjra4ys
However! UKR does not have any rare earths. Found this out consulting Wiki, and then watched,

https://edition.cnn.com/2025/02/27/politics/trump-ukraine-minerals-doubts-resources/index.html
So it looks like all those who wanted the war to continue (NATO, Zelensky, Brits, etc.) just made this up to create the illusion that the ‘war’ would ‘pay for itself’, there would be PROFIT, a rationale, etc. Then Ze went around touting this selling point.. to the Brits (a vague contract signed), and then to Trump, but Trump didn’t fall for it, turning the ‘agreement’ into a (post peace) ’Reconstruction Investment Fund’ without any ‘security guarantees’, forcing Ze to refuse to sign.

From Top Post, RT reports on Bloomberg piece, re. NatGas.
MSM, left / right oppo, ‘independent analysts,’ so just about everyone, adhered to a mantra that Europe (or the EU) is having to import NLG from the US, that Europe has more or less stopped importing natural gas from Russia (see Nord Stream pipeline blow-up etc.) that German Industry is Being Destroyed, Cos. are moving to the USA!
Wild exaggeration. Gas is just one source of energy, electricity, oil, coal etc. and more are at the top of the flow chart. Setting that aside,
Info. is being manipulated. See for ex. the Swiss European Energy Import Chart (I’m ashamed, really…to be fair it is not Swiss data but taken up from elsewhere..) – like the majority of National sites that track Gas imports it uses the words Europe and EU without distinguishing them.
The title of the first ‘circle’ chart (see at link) is *Gas imports to Europe in recent years.*
The categories include: *Norway* (part of Europe but not the EU), *Russia excluding LNG* (this is mixing up source and type, to show that Russia as a source is less important.) Note, accusations of obfuscation can be explained by blaming a ONE-word error by some dumb intern.
https://energiedashboard.admin.ch/gas/import-europa
There are many far worse exs. around… So?
Figure 5 at link shows EU quarterly imports by source. Post 2022, Russian imports were reduced by between 1/2 and 1/3 (what ‘other LNG’ is Idk?) and have been slowly rising again. USA NLG increased somewhat and then sagged a bit.
https://www.bruegel.org/dataset/european-natural-gas-imports
‘Transits’ from one importing country to another are not tracked. For ex., where did the gas from Azerbaijan to Europe come from? 🙂
The price spike of Nat Gas in Europe WAS very real.
Noirette
You are correct. There are some underlying defects that need to be addressed. Technically illiterate politicians mix the terms; minerals, critical minerals, rare earth minerals. They dont know and dont care the difference. Ukraine has essentially only minerals and critical minerals. I went to USGS but the navigation was tough. This link was better.
https://www.newsweek.com/map-shows-rare-earth-minerals-locations-2035127
Once we filter off “rare earth” the illiterates add every time they say “mineral” we can see the next defect. Half of the critical minerals are in the part of Ukraine that Ukraine has not yet admitted they lost. The most expensive half of those minerals. Without that admission, Ze’s narrative is plausible.if mr trump really wants to release the EPSTEIN GOODIES*,
¿can’t he just walk into the fbi office in new york and get them?
i bet he knows how to get there..

Blinkers, also known as blinders, blinds and winkers, are a part of horse harness and tack which limits a horse’s field of vision—blocking vision to the sides, …lacking tolerance or flexibility or breadth of view.
synonyms: narrow, narrow-minded.This should put the Trump vs Zelenskyi beat down in the Oval Office (to an audience of billions) in better perspective. There’s literally tons of stuff to say about it, but Armstrong does a pretty good summary to get that ball rolling. Now we need to ACTUALLY, once and for all, get our ass out of NATO. And so, as a side note, the EU boondoggle has been a CIA Op from before the beginning. Imagine that! Europe’s going to have a hard time borrowing the money to prep and fight a war if they haven’t got any gold or a currency that outranks used toilet paper.
By the by, have you ever read the bullshit treaties that led to the formation of NATO in the first place? What a bucket of slop, with as much real legal validity as a bet made by a couple of drunk compulsive gamblers in a dive bar at last call.
Excellent video on “rare earths” in Ukraine, Noirette! Thank you. Geographically, Ukraine is fertile soil precisely because there are no rare earths. The two are mutually exclusive.

“That was not a man who wanted to make peace”See, it’s a MAN thing. Not gender, I mean it’s personal, mano-e-mano, about personalites, relationship, history, trust, HONOR. That’s why he was pissed off. He’s going way out on a limb for Ze, in a thing he shouldn’t be involved in, and no sense of reality, like a child, just like the rest of the world.
“Scott Jennings on Zelenskyy’s WH visit: “All Zelenskyy had to do today was put on tie, show up, smile, say ‘thank you’, sign the papers and have lunch. That’s it! And he couldn’t do that.”
Wrote a screed on yesterday’s post here covering that. SHUT. YOUR. MOUTH. There are a lot of ways to look at Ze’s problem here, but the instant things seem to have gone off the rails, SHUT YOUR MOUTH and say “We’d better pick this up in private negotiations, thank you.” NOT in the media, which he demanded.* Then he got like ten chances making it worse each time. SHUT. YOUR. MOUTH. You get $300B to wear a suit and shut your pie-hole, so zip it.
It would have been another boring conference that everybody wanted.
“demanding an emergency session of Parliament to impeach President Volodymyr Zelensky,”They just made him President yesterday, they’re impeaching him today? …Sounds about right.
“Mike Waltz dispels media rumors that Trump admin ‘ambushed’ Zelenskyy”Yes, wtf, like Rittenhouse and Catholic kid all you have to do is watch the d—n footage. That’s it. You’re on your phone all day, click “Play” boom, done. You don’t even have to be literate, which is lucky because they’re not. Nope. Too hard for reporters. 40 minutes of blah blah blah. 40 chances to shut his mouth.
Rubio: Rubio is shocking me, my appraisement of him was like zero.
Susan Rice: As we say every day. “It’s a setup.” No, Trump had asked them NOT to do this in public. Step one to piss people off who are giving you $300B dollars. Addendum: Vance adding that thing about thanking people was stupid. His PURPOSE was to get Ze back into the mindset of “You are asking US for stuff, buddy” but it was an off-target way to do that. Ze then acted like a peevish ungrateful little b-tch and did another round of boilerplate thanking on twitter, like a passive-aggressive Ex. It was horrifying to see, and an insult even to Europe. I think he’s not smart enough to connive a way to TRY to be impeached and escape, he just doesn’t know what to do, s–t or go blind as we say here.

Seinfeld: “We ain’t playing cards” – Zelensky. Famous last words.
Cockatu: needs subtitles.
Noirette: correct, totally believe this. The British are clutching at straws indeed if they thought this wouldn’t get caught or Starmer went home next day and said “US is in now that they have to defend their “interests”” JHC.
* Is that Ze may have been encouraged in this route, even unknowing (as by Rice) because it prevented the signing of minerals already signed to LONDON. If the trick w Starmer wasn’t going to work, they didn’t need this problem too. It’s reasonable but hard to prove.
Cheers John Day.
I’ve mislaid your email.
If you still have mine, drop me a note.Thailand was terrific – but no longer the country I knew 25 years ago.
That Thailand is no more.Yes the rare earth deposits are in the part of “former Ukraine” that are now in the possession of Russia (because they are PART of Russia) but that observation misses the whole point. They USED TO BE in the possession of Ukraine back when the border of Ukraine was a lot farther East than it is now. Zelenskiy is “putting them up for sale”, but to take them home with you after he sells them to you there is this small matter of getting Russia to release them to you. The only way that happens is if you help Mr Z and NATO defeat the Russians in an all-out no holds-barred WAR. Which is one of the big reasons that the CIA/NATO/Zionist Cabal wants war with Russia. The other reason they want it is that once Europe is on a total war footing the current crop of degenerates in Brussels (and elsewhere!) get to keep their jobs, get a raise in in pay and a lot more authority over their captive populations. Of course, it also means LOSING such a war, but they don’t see that as THEIR problem because they are getting more “rich and powerful” once that war gets rolling. If anything goes wrong they can just sign a bunch of meaningless treaties again at some point in the all-too-foreseeable future.
I’ve been hearing a lot of people recommending violence, war and various other types of mayhem as a solution to one or more of our many and large problems. I don’t think that is a very good idea hardly ever.
I know that it can happen that ending lives is the only last-ditch solution of last resort. But it’s not often, and it’s never desirable.
Yeah, life is full of problems and some of them are really big, but ending life is rarely the solution to the problems of living. Solving the problems of life by ending the existence of life does end the existence of the problem, but it creates an even bigger problem by ending the existence of you as well.
I would rather we leave problems and solution of that grand scale to someone better equipped to get it right, if you take my meaning.
Yeah Mike Waltz trying to remove lipstick from the pig while making avarice, greed and that oh do humanitarian form of Khazar acquisitive capitalism look like A Shared Quest for Prosperity.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14452455/Putin-missile-attack-sink-container-ship-British-weapons-Ukraine.htmlPutin unleashes Iskander-M missile attack to ‘sink container ship in Odesa carrying cargo of British weapons for Ukraine’
By TOM MIDLANEVladimir Putin unleashed a missile strike to ‘sink’ a cargo ship amid unconfirmed Russian claims it was carrying British weapons for use by Ukraine.
Two Iskander-M ballistic missiles hit the Panama-flagged container ship MSC LEVANTE F – reportedly Swiss-owned – soon after it arrived in Odesa on March 1, after making a stop in Turkey.
Two port workers were believed to have been wounded in the strike, which also damaged infrastructure, Ukrainian reports said.
The report of the attack comes as British prime minister Sir Keir Starmer today hosts Volodymyr Zelensky and other European leaders to discuss the future of the wartorn nation following the Ukrainian president’s televised spat with US president Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance.
Russian Telegram channel TalipoV [sic] Online Z claimed that the vessel was loaded with drones and weaponry that had been collected from a NATO based in Turkey before being transported to Odesa in Ukraine.
However, the channel is run by pro-Putin, Crimea-based blogger Oleksandr Talipov, who was charged with ‘nation-based enmity against Ukrainian citizens’ and hate speech by Ukrainian prosecutors in 2022.
Tapipov said: ‘It was established that in Turkey the ship loaded additional containers of two colours on board – red and yellow – which contained British sea drones and weapons from the Turkish NATO base.
‘Upon arrival at the port of Odesa, the ship was hit by two missiles at berth number two at 18:00.
‘After the strike detonations began, the cargo was completely destroyed, the ship sank.’
Another pro-war Telegram channel Soprotivlenie claimed that the cargo ship was carrying other Western military cargo, including ‘radars and launch containers of ATACMS missiles’ supplied by the US.
A picture purportedly shows the containers visible on the vessel in Odesa shortly before it was hit.
However no proof was given on entire Telegram channel that the ship contained any military cargo, nor showed evidence of the extent of damage to the MSC LEVANTE F following the attack.
Ukrainian vice prime minister Oleksii Kuleba challenged the Russian account and said that the vessel was carrying ‘completely civilian cargoes’.
The container ship was struck as it prepared to unload, according to the Russian report.
A strike on the 482ft MSC LEVANTE F was confirmed by Odesa region governor Oleg Kiper.
‘The enemy fired a ballistic missile on Odesa,’ he said. ‘The attack damaged port infrastructure and a civilian vessel under the flag of the Republic of Panama owned by a European company.’
Deputy Prime Minister for the Reconstruction of Ukraine Oleksiy Kuleba said a second ship was also hit, the Sierra Leone-flagged SUPER SARKAS.
Both ‘damaged’ vessels had completely civilian cargoes, he said.
The Kyiv Independent reported: ‘No information was immediately available as to what the vessel was carrying, or the extent of the damage.’
At least 20 foreign merchant ships have been damaged in previous strikes by Russia, according to Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky.
In July last year, the MSC LEVANTE F, which can carry approximately 13,634 tons, made the first call by an MSC container ship to Odesa since the start of the war in February 2022.
Before sailing to Odesa, the container ship docked at Asyaport, near Tekirdağ, on the northern coast of the Sea of Marmara in Turkey.
The MSC – Mediterranean Shipping Company – brand is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland.

The preliminary “summit of the party of war in Europe” ended in London.Result: everyone (except Hungary and Slovakia) agrees,
– the war in Ukraine must continue.
– Europe must sharply increase arms supplies to the Ukrainian army.
– Europe must sharply increase investments in the military-industrial complex.
– troops of NATO countries in Europe must be deployed in Ukraine.
– troops of European countries in Ukraine should be not before but after the conclusion of a peace agreement.
– we need to present Trump with Europe’s vision of a possible peace in Ukraine. We cannot give the peace agenda to Trump and Putin.
– Russia is an enemy and we must inflict as much damage on it as possible.
– Russia has no right to vote, Russia should not be listened to at all. Russia has no right to its own interests in Ukraine.
– Russia has no right to “dictate its terms”, its inclusion in the discussion of peace is possible only at the last stage.That is, the Party of War in Europe proposes to work out the terms and offer them to Russia as an ultimatum.

The statement from
@SecState
@marcorubio
on Military Assistance to Israel:“I have signed a declaration to use emergency authorities to expedite the delivery of approximately $4 billion in military assistance to Israel. The decision to reverse the Biden Administration’s partial arms embargo, which wrongly withheld a number of weapons and ammunition from Israel, is yet another sign that Israel has no greater ally in the White House than President Trump.
Since taking office, the Trump Administration has approved nearly $12 billion in major FMS sales to Israel. This important decision coincides with President Trump’s repeal of a Biden-era memorandum which had imposed baseless and politicized conditions on military assistance to Israel at a time when our close ally was fighting a war of survival on multiple fronts against Iran and terror proxies.
The Trump Administration will continue to use all available tools to fulfill America’s long-standing commitment to Israel’s security, including means to counter security threats.”Observator’s take:
-
Trump’s acts bring to mind this remark of John Adams from 1786, “The executive is the natural friend of the people and the only defense which they or their representatives can have against the avarice and ambition of the rich and distinguished.” We can contrast this with the consideration that Mr. Trump is in fact a member in good standing of that amoral oligarchy of avarice and ambition.

He gets right to the point in the first 3 minutes, namely that Zelensky offered Trump a $500 billion minerals deal last September to keep him engaged, then the UK decided they wanted it, and Starmer got with Zelensky a few days ahead of the Trump inauguration, to sign the “100 year partnership”, which is vague and does not say what $3 billion per year from the UK to Ukraine is for, but alludes to to other situations and considerations not in the treaty/”agreement”. The trick is that it has a secret addendum giving the UK the Ukrainian minerals, and that Russia and Trump would know that, so the Friday drama was Trump putting Ukraine and the UK on the spot, because he knows the real deal, and they want another year of war, but can’t afford it, and Trump/US can just walk away all huffy now.FBI Returns 33 Boxes Of Trump Property Seized During Mar-a-Lago Raid
