Gustave Courbet The village maidens 1852 • Europe Unveils Rival Ukraine Peace Plan (ZH) • UK, France, Ukraine Agree To Work On Cease-Fire Plan
[See the full post at: Debt Rattle March 3 2025]“No one here is worshipping” Zelensky but “we’re gonna have to apply the same Marco Rubio rule about having to negotiate with a guy that might never win a Nobel Peace Prize” while my boss Vance JD, er ah, President Trump sends $8 billion more Not War but Peace Dollars to The Nobel Peace Prize nominee, Benjamin Netanyahu who wore a suit to The Oval while POTUS butlered for Benjie.
Victory!
Peace…Clearly someone is paving the way for JD to be POTUS before the end of Trump’s term.
Same suit
Same tie
Same emotional beatdown of Zelensky, America’s “ally”.Waltz could say put boots on the ground in The Ukraine are coming home but in the name their idea of peace those words won’t be spoken, you know, in the Name of Mutual Prosperity.

Here’s a 2019 video from RFERL on then candidate Zelensky and his oligarch backer, Ihor Kolomoisky.
Don’t expect our media to ever cover this.
You will not see any of this in stories by our media on Zelensky.
Instead they tell us that Zelensky is above reproach, someone we should have no problem giving a blank check to.https://x.com/mazemoore/status/1895925342264504587?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1895925342264504587%7Ctwgr%5E5368420aa848ad4c4b9c73b8040d5be581012a70%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theautomaticearth.com%2F2025%2F03%2Fdebt-rattle-march-3-2025%2F

It also appears a deliberate effort by Europe to keep the US on a hawkish path, and to sabotage US-Russia talks in the process.

• Without The US There Is No NATO And No Ukraine (ZH)
To be clear, Ukraine is not entitled to US tax dollars or US military aid.
Europe insists that the war must continue even without US help, but their ability to fund and fight the war is limited.
They would trigger WWIII in the process, and they would lose.
The belief that more money or more armaments will prevent a Ukraine loss or land concessions to Russia is irrational.
Ukraine’s biggest problem is manpower, not money, and no amount of money is going to triple Ukrainian forces on the eastern front.
A peace deal should have been negotiated a long time ago.
For now it appears that the European elites are frantically trying to rally public support around extending the conflict and forming a centralized EU military.
This will take them years and it will never come close to the same funding levels that the US provided.

I FELT SHAKING/EARTHQUAKE IN B.C., AT 5:00 AMhttps://www.opm.gov/about-us/
The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) serves as the chief human resources agency and personnel policy manager for the Federal Government.
DOGE is operating from OPM.Waltz could say Those Boots on the Ground in The Ukraine are coming home but their idea of peace won’t permit those words to be spoken, you know, in the Name of Mutual Prosperity.
It’s complicated, but our side has Marco Rubio on it and according to John Day Marco’s diplomatic statesmanship on the Topic The Ukraine had already been rejected, all sides knew it and The Oval Office CosPlay that ensued was all staged.
I mean it’s never staged for public consumption, but with bonafide psychopaths, actors, actresses and Spellbinders it’s hard to get a read sometimes.
However, contrary to Ds assertion, Zelensky never looked “genuinely upset” but JD presidential timber did. “”JD”Marco Rubio…..my god n holy crap.
“Europe Unveils Rival Ukraine Peace Plan Backed By ‘Boots On The Ground & Planes In The Air’
.. what the escalation ‘plan’ really does is forces Trump’s hand to react.Very predictable. Also in the news: “Zelensky Now Leader of the Free World.”
Russia going to Collapse!!! –UK Media. Bombshell. Walls are closing in. Plan A is about to kick in, any time now. …Now that Russia has a million men mobilized and Oreshniks that can hit Manchester. You know you’re supposed to jump in AFTER 3/4 of all men are already dead, like the Allies did in WWII, right? NOT after 3/4 of your OWN men are dead.
“When Zelensky challenged JD Vance for advocating diplomacy with Russia, the Ukrainian president invoked his December 9 2019 agreement with Putin and claimed: “We signed the exchange of prisoners, but he [Putin] didn’t do it.”
Here are pictures of Zelensky attending a December 29th, 2019 ceremony welcoming the return of Ukrainian prisoners…” –Aaron Mate’So many lies, so little time. Well, he opened his mouth, so lie fell out.
“Can Europe Ever Catch Up On Defense Spending: US Spent $8.4 Trillion In Past Decade… Rest Of NATO Just $3.8 TrillionHuh. That’s odd, since they’re what, 20% larger than we are? And if they spent that much where are their soldiers? Britain has 12 guns? Really??? It’s almost as if they don’t want to fight the war but have the U.S. do it for free. Too complicated, can’t figure it out.
Addition? Our spending is THEIR spending. That is, we print money and spend it on NATO...in Germany. Into the GERMAN economy. Etc. What do you think happens when Rammstein closes with 200,000 people leave with 200,000 mouths and all the food supply chain trucks vanish. That’s why you can have $1T and not cause inflation. But that’s also why you can CUT $1T in overseas spending and not have a U.S. Collapse: that spending was never in our economy in the first place, it isn’t being removed.
“Waste Of The Day: Congo Splurged At Davos On USAID Dime. The equivalent of $488,000 on a six-night hotel stay”
Why do Republicans hate the Poors so much? They finally dug into USAID and found something not evil: teaching kids to read in Kenya. Like $100M? Well, assuming a single dollar got there, what kind of country is Kenya if they can’t teach their kids how to read on their own? Like, this is our job, worldwide now? We’re the entire student budget for China, Mongolia, Indonesia…? And I certainly wouldn’t TRUST, say, Iran to teach all of American students, would you? Since they’re sending teachers from Baltimore, I assume no one in Kenya can read now.
“US Gives Israel Green Light To Stay In Lebanon ‘Indefinitely’
Israel slowly being drawn out way past their abilities. They’re not fools, it seems, so it’s taking some time to get them deeper into Syria where they haven’t a chance of holding. I mean you do know there are million(s) FEWER Israelis than last year, right? You’ve already burned through all your soldiers? And you’re going to expand? Of course you are.
“We need to figure out — is there a way to get them to stop the war? And the only way you’re going to do that is to get Russians engaged in negotiations.”
Much, MUCH too complicated for them.
Shiff: Well, obviously opened mouth, lie fell out. The FBI hasn’t been around for 100 years, sir. 2) Bongino hasn’t done anything yet, so it may be premature to say what he already did in the office he hasn’t arrived at yet. 3) Every Conspiracy theory about Trump so far has been true: they were wiretapping him, the RussiaRussia was a staged witch hunt, etc. 4) A Covid denier that got the vaccine. Yeah, he sounds super serious and ready to fall for anything when he provably believed the Covid thing right off. 20 more meta-levels, which is why you can’t let people like this speak. They are so twisted up, your mind needs decontamination after listening to them. It just a bad use of time.
“Churchill” Now remember folks, Trump is Hitler AND Chamberlain at the SAME TIME. So is everyone else. Isn’t it really about seeing the Hitler/Churchill/Chamberlain/Jesus/Devil in all of us? Besides, Hitler was Russian, right?
All things are all things! All things equal their #Opposites! If all things are all things, they sure can’t be false!
“Two years ago, I was a hero of the left. How can I go from hero to villain at age 53 suddenly?’
How? Because all things are all things, sir! Hero = Villain. I thought that up in my head a minute ago, now it’s true.
Stochastic terrorism with Elon and the Left. It’s FEMALE. They are girlie men. Male approach: Elon is Hitler, he should die: walk up, investigate, shoot him in the dick, bye. FEMALE approach: say bad things that are deniable, bleat “Will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest?” Sigh and look sad, do some passive-aggressive AOC things, deny it, complain of oppression constantly…do nothing, don’t lift a finger, hope someone will do the work for you. It appears path #2 doesn’t work very well, if at all, and certainly takes far too long. Turns out complaining is more work than just working. …But then you’d have to admit who you are and not LIE. Telling the Truth: why I say sir, what do you take me for? That is just Impossible.
[Mearshimer] analysis from a decade ago remains undeniably accurate…”
But nobody knewd! Nobody could have seen this coming. …Except Jimmy Dore, high as a kite, said this half-asleep on the couch the day it started. Me since 1995.
Elon: “They will be a permanent one-party, Socialist state.”
Hey, is that exactly what me and JB have been saying? Because THEY have been saying it? They tell you openly, this is their plan, sign their names, publish it, go on TV and confirm, day after day, year after year?
Reminds me of Covid. They’re like, “Why are you resisting? Why are you denying Covid??” Sir: I am using YOUR data! All the data, the charts, the quotes I have…are from YOU. YOU are where I get these crazy ideas. Remember they did that with Candice Owens, I think about Ukraine Nazis or something. She said, NY Times? CNN? Where did I get this data? FROM YOU, then quoted the 99 stories they’d published on it over the years.
True = Not True. Real = False. BothNeitherAi. Everything. With every word. The only way to exist is for all things to be true and false at the same time, the only way the mind can make sense of Trans gay lesbian women, presenting female. …That is to say: Women. Who look like women, and sleep with men.
Now WHYYYYYY do they always do this? They don’t care if it’s false, they WANT it to be false, the more transparently false the better. Because normal operation of a human mind is to adhere to TRUTH, because that’s operationally functional. Gravity exists and we don’t deny it by jumping off bridges and live longer. But what happens when everything is operationally FALSE? You don’t adhere to Truth, so the only next default setting is to adhere to POWER. You do, believe, act, however the POWERFUL tell you to.
…And that’s why it’s identical to being in a narcissistic abuse household. Torture means, for the moment, it no longer matters what’s TRUE. The only thing that matters is BEING BEATEN. Human drops down a level to survive torture and live another day. “Pretending” or really beyond pretending, functionally believing absurdities is part of this, and the Abuser LIKES the torture because he feels safe. If they are going to escape, they are going to resist IN THEIR MIND first. So he knows you’re not escaping if you’re believing the lies still. It’s his tripwire. Most people can’t go from 0-100 and just stab him in the neck all at once, but have to build up to it in the normal human way. More’s the pity, but that diffuses all human conflict, the way rams butt heads first and walk, where no one’s really injured. Just this outlier situation where it’s a hack.
There are exploits in the patterns of narcissistic abusers as well and we should use them. Mostly by discrediting serial liars: crazy, I know.
Anyway, so Trump here is rapidly smashing the public into the Truth. I’m sure there are PR strategists, but really, just to say Realpolitik, that Ukraine isn’t winning is about as far as Overton will allow now. And IF that is true, THEN the next things are obvious: If we, they, lost, THEN we withdraw. Simple. Europe both can’t – they will instantly collapse financially – but it’s also not in their nature. That’s why they’re the most psychopathic place on the planet for the last 1,000 years. Because they have a sort of “Family” structure, they work and create “Togetherness”, “We” believe this. If you don’t also believe this, you are cast out of the “family” – whatever that is: party, country, Europe, economy – and you will literally die, not kidding. BUT! What happens if what they’ve all settled on via endless, painful, long negotiation turns out not to be TRUE? They can’t let it go, because it’ll take another 10-20 years to hammer out the new “reality” consensus (which also won’t be true. Bc: “Committee”). So they have the terrible (in that it causes terror and constant genocide) habit of hanging on to it, going down, and taking the ship with them. There’s really no logical reason for it. As I’ve said, right now, Ukraine can flip to an Irish Resistance approach, and should. LOGICALLY that fits all the same goals here. But they are NOT logical. They are in a Relationship Structure.
Trump isn’t hammering on it, but Rubio’s press releases “They don’t want peace” “they have no cards” is leaning into the same space. It’s not engineered at this level, I think, it’s just a natural expression of being practical. If anything, you can see Trump/Vance as being far too accommodating, they’re way outside the bubble of “Reality” in Ukraine, but it’s as far as they can extend themselves while still being realistic.
The “Evil” side here runs only on lies, of course, that’s the essence of “Evil” as a form: it is separated from the Whole, from Logos, from Truth. It depends on Pretending. So you merely win by telling the Truth and letting the Light in. They’re not throwing Moltovs at that right now, although it may seem so, but ANY action on their part causes this drift toward Truth, #Logos, and away from Lies, Evil. …Which Europe cannot tolerate.
…Which is back to the point here: IF Trump is being realistic, THEN the only thing Europe can do is reveal to themselves what genocidal diabolical warmongers they are, way ahead of the United States. …Which is really saying something! That they not only risk, but HUNGER for WWIII…as Armstrong says. And want every Ukrainian dead, if possible, and have gone further than anyone in history so far in accomplishing that.
…They now admit that not to us – we already know – but to THEMSELVES. Just as Canada, going all-in does. Or the DNC. Okay, you did that. Now FACE it, in the mirror. This is YOU now: do you like what you see?
“Zelensky: “If the US stops giving us money, we will demand at least $250 billion from Europe”
Your terms are acceptable.
McCune, U.S. protecting our mining interests.
Uh, no, Russia would bomb the f—k out of us. However, Trump could use that card to SELL them, to end it plausibly, in the same way it was already going to be ended. Then we walk away and do NOT spend $1Trillion during a national bankruptcy to protect $200B of rocks that would be bombed to powder on their way out of the country. Sir.
It’s so f-d up that we have to back up into valueless abstractions, of chits that aren’t real, in order to navigate the actual world, and get a peace slipped through levels of infantile denial heretofore never seen.
“Starmer also pledged to boost military spending to 2.5 percent of GDP by 2027.”

“I’ve been saying for years that we need a more sovereign, more united, more independent Europe.”
What do you mean? None of those statements are logical. If you are “United” you, your nations, are no longer “Sovereign.” What would you be independent of? The EU commissioners? That you can’t say any of this plainly means you’re lying.
Translation: The EU unelected central Soviet needs unlimited money and power to raise a supra-national army unaccountable to the now-impoverished and unfree People, which can then attack BOTH the people, AND Russia, as well as America if necessary, in their larger plan to conquer and colonize the world. Do I have that about right?
…Just say so, it’s a lot easier for all of us. This is FEMALE approach, of lying, denying, diverting, projecting. Dare I say trying to conquer the planet via a WOMAN’S approach has not been a historical winner? Like if you’re on the march, you need to tell the Generals “You’re on the march, burn everything.” Otherwise literally every sentient being will take you at your word that you’re not “really” attacking, and resist you. You DENY you’re burning everything, so let’s take the chance and find out.

“While Bob Woodward and others have finally admitted that the Russian collusion coverage lacked objectivity and resulted in false reporting,”
Great example of both being true. We can say Woodward was involved in decades of “Making it all up” then in the next breath say “It’s a new Watergate” from a fearless, truth-seeking press.
“”When I read ‘Wired’ by Bob Woodward about John Belushi, I read like five pages of ‘Wired’ and I went, oh my God, they framed Nixon. If he did this to Belushi, what he did to Nixon is probably soiled for me too.”
Bill Murray remains a normal enough human to get this.

I often wonder if the big cats really are much different than “house cats.” Have the small cats that live among us really been “domesticated?” Or are they just safer to be around because humans are so much bigger than they are? When I watch videos of large cats I notice the same attitudes and behaviors that I see in my small cats. It is funny to see a small cat with the same attitude as a lion or tiger.

Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau: Shameful Warmonger & Liar for Hire Until the Next One Takes Over
…We’re going to be there to support Ukraine with whatever it takes for as long as it takes.
Because Ukraine is not just defending its own territories, but defending the very principles and values that underpin all of our democracies.
Obviously I’ve spent a lot of time with Volodymyr Zelensky over the years…I continue to emphasize to him that Canada will always stand with Ukraine.
First of all, I think it’s important every chance we get to lie out the facts as clearly as possible.
In 2014, Russia chose to invade Ukraine, to occupy Crimea and parts of eastern Ukraine. For that they were kicked out of G7.
In 2022, they chose to violate the existing cease-fire and invaded Ukraine with the intention of taking Kiev in 3 days and the entire country in 3 weeks. That has failed.
Russia continues to try to fight to claim more land in Ukraine. We could see an end to this war tomorrow if Russia decided to stop its illegal invasion of Ukraine.
On Friday, in the Oval Office, President Zelensky pointed out, in so many words, that Vladimir Putin is a liar, a criminal and cannot be trusted to keep his word in any way shape or form, because he has demonstrated time and time again that he will break any agreement.
I stand with Vladimir Zelensky. I stand with the people of Ukraine.”

Now, with almost all of the “statesmen” of the Western bubble, you have to admit that their school education is terrible.
They have twisted history so many times until it fits their narrative that they themselves no longer know what they are talking about.

The crazy Canadian says that Putin marched into Ukraine in 2014.

D,
You can watch tha Oval Office video again. JD and Trump “infantilize” Zelensky and then blame Zelensky for acting like the Object, child/infant, of JD’s and Trump’s shared Projection.
Say thank you.
Say it again.
Respect me!
Nice suit, chuckle.

It’s elemental, primitive, archaic ad nauseam.Dr. D. – “They finally dug into USAID and found something not evil: teaching kids to read in Kenya. Like $100M? Well, assuming a single dollar got there, what kind of country is Kenya if they can’t teach their kids how to read on their own?”
Whatever money Kenya can round up has to first pay the loan shark bankers.
USAID will “help”, using taxpayer dollars to help bankers get more money out of Kenya.Kenya could run out of money to repay massive debts: how to avoid this
Unless it secures a debt write-off, debt rescheduling, or similar deal to reduce the debt burden, Kenya will almost certainly end in debt default. The country must use every effort to avoid this possibility.
When creditors believe that a country is likely to default, they seek to protect themselves from possible losses. Sometimes they force the government to take austerity measures.
Austerity means reducing public spending on most needs, including education and health, physical infrastructure such as roads, and social programmes such as food subsidies. It may also force a country to raise revenues by increasing taxes or selling state-owned enterprises.
“Where are our billions?!” – Ukrainians in panic over possible U.S. aid blockade
The Ukrainian portal Defense Express is sounding the alarm: if Trump cuts off the flow of dollars, Kiev could lose tens of billions of American aid planned under Biden.
$1.05 billion from the 2024 budget has not been used, and $2.8 billion discovered after an accounting error in 2023 were simply “forgotten” in Washington;
The main threat is the potential halt of the USAID program, through which $30 billion has been allocated since 2022 for contracts with weapons manufacturers. Their fulfillment is stretched until 2026-2027, and the fate of these supplies is now in question;
$3.3 billion remained in Pentagon warehouses for transferring weapons to Ukraine under the PDA program, but now these supplies may also be frozen.
In total, more than $39 billion in aid is at risk.
American taxpayers, get ready – there will be even more complaints from Ukrainians!

Trump and his cabinet have always known the score with Zelensky and the EU but were severely hampered by the fact that the American public did not know the score because they’re been steadily propagandized by the captured blobulist media for so many years. So, how can Trump get the word out?
Well why not arrange a public meeting in which Zelensky says it in his own words right to their faces?
Someone calls that a “setup”? The only thing that Zelenski was “set up” to do was expose the public to the same lies that he’s been saying behind closed doors since the day he was “elected” under totally false pretenses to use as a disposable battering ram to attack Russia and steal it’s stuff.
Anyone who thinks that shining a light into the darkness is unfair play needs to save their breath and immediately seek moral and psychological guidance from a dependable source.
Sort of: if you come in acting like a child, you’re going to get treated like one. That’s no surprise, it’s not mean, it’s reality, it’s treating things as the way they really are.
Nor is this a social, diplomatic thing. He’s not there for tea. He wants $300 Billion dollars we don’t have, unlimited backup, and to cause WWIII, which the U.S. quite honestly, will lose. So the ball is in his court. He is the SUPPLICANT, the beggar, the Sub position in this exchange. — I — didn’t put him there. Trump didn’t put him there. He didn’t have to come, and he didn’t have to ask.
IF you ask for $300B, $2,000 from every working adult in the country, THEN I would expect you to yes, ACT as if that was a favor, a special condition, not taken for granted and dismissed. I’m not all kinds of broken up about it — his country’s being wrecked and is about to cease to exist, he and everyone he knows it about to be shot in the gutter — it’s an emotional time! Too bad. Sucks to be you. Nothing can change that YOU are here, begging US for $300B WE DO NOT HAVE, in order to kill more human beings, IN A WAR YOU WILL LOSE.
So yeah, dusting off that suit he obediently wore for the WEF might be a good idea. Trump was GIVING HIM THE MONEY. For no good reason at all. Shut yer mouth and exit quietly.
It’s about dominance? Yes, actually it is. The debtor is slave to the lender. This is worse. OBVIOUSLY the street beggar, about to be killed by his bookie, is lessor to a rich guy who’s just walking down the street.
You now diagnose narcissists everywhere. Everyone is Cluster. Show me on the doll where Vance touched you. Now they may BE narcissists, probably are, and I could dgaf. I bloody hope they are since that makes them far MORE likely to slap the right people senseless who richly deserve it. But this is the world’s worst situation to identify and complain about it.
As an American, I’d tell Ze no, just because he exists. I’d tell him hell no if he followed me dressed like that. I’d tell him never until every city is fixed, every battalion is re-fitted, and every American is rich. AFTER that, why then I’d STILL tell him no. And I’d have a list as long as your arm for reasons, starting with Washington’s Farewell Address, and ending with his stupid haircut. No. No means no. http://Www.no.com. Knock knock. Who’s there? No. No, nay never. No nay never no more.
“You’re going to have to work very hard just to stay alive, Nick”That’s about where I am in negotiating with selling pencils to Ukraine. Hopefully he never comes back, and Don and Vance fly to Kiev to do this to him again, just for the lols on Pay Per View. Get thee gone.

Nothing about the purpose of either or both of those institutions has anything at all to do with Russia, outside of the ultimate goal of robbing it to death.
The purpose of the EU and its de-facto Department of Defense, NATO, is simply to centralize control over the decentralized independent nations of Europe. To do that they need a compellingly scary opponent as a reason and excuse for those nations to yield their individual sovereignty to a single command center (posing as an “Alliance”). First choice for boogeyman was the Communism and sheer Might of the vast and powerful Soviet Union.
China might also serve that purpose in a pinch, but first lets focus on the Big Bear of the North.
As of the present moment both the EU and NATO have chosen to proceed with that plan regardless of whether their old pal Uncle Sam wants in on the fiasco or not. US involvement isn’t really needed. In fact, the absence of the USA from the fight makes prospects even scarier and thus easier to use as a scare tactic on the helpless citizens of Europe’s many countries. To survive any kind of a serious war with Russia would require truly extraordinary and extreme yielding of power to a centralized European mutual defense command center (a military, economic and political command center, actually.)
Trump wants out of that mess and has (so far successfully) managed to present a rather compelling explanation to the general public on why sitting this one out is a good and valid choice for America.
He could not have espoused or presented that case without the express permission of the enormous Military Industrial Complex owners who have been using that mess for great personal profit for many years. Trump needed PERMISSION from the Blob (globalist-capitalist-communist-Zionist-Israeli-BlackRockist, Banker, MONEY-OWNERS) and he got that permission his favorite way. He cut them a deal for it. The deal was that he would trade Israel, the West Bank and Gaza Strip (which they get to keep) in exchange for which they let the Trumpians take Ukraine back from the globalist-capitalist-communist-Zionist-Israeli-BlackRockist MONEY OWNERS who have been trying to take it all for themselves.
It was a straight-up “this for that” transaction, and not very nice at all, but that’s the way the game gets played in the Big League.
The Bad Guys reckon that its an acceptable deal because they basically get the thing that’s really important to themselves. They get to rule Europe as a “One Europe Government” which keeps them, personally, owning a chair at the table (and the legal immunity and other perks that go with it.) Losing the war in Ukraine doesn’t cost them, personally, any damn thing at all, and from the position of Lords Of Europe they can resume the business of trying to do the same damn thing with the rest of the world. Fat chance of that, but so what? That doesn’t really interfere all that much with their lifestyle.
It takes years to prep for a war, and even more years to fight one (regardless of whether you win or lose), the point is that IN THE MEANTIME they have what they need to become Lords of Europe. And THAT, dear friends, is why Europe wants war with Russia and will settle for nothing less UNLESS the peasants in their nations give them so much trouble that the would-be King & Court (NATO & EU) can’t manage to actually accomplish true consolidation. That’s what I see happening in the real world. They haven’t got the money, guns and information control to pull it off, and Europe returns to a more primitive state of independent nations with 3rd World economies.
…..Nor is this a social, diplomatic thing. He’s not there for tea. He wants $300 Billion dollars we don’t have, unlimited backup, and to cause WWIII,………
How about “The Plan” did not work out and everything is about face-saving exit – regardless how clumsy and graceless it is and for a thinking people to see through.
NATO is nothing more than a renamed Nazi Germany and conquered territories. One moment people were Nazi SS Intelligence Officers and then suddenly they became NATO Intelligence Officers. I personally knew quite a few people this happened with.
What’ if it’s “The Plan” to win Iraq and/or make money by killing random people and/or “The Plan” to take over Ukraine and steal Russia, and if it doesn’t work out say “Oops, Ackshully, we never meant that”?
Oh yeah, I’m totally good with that. That’s #2 Theory on my list, right after “Fight among oligarchs”. Make your case and lift it to #1.
“We lost but we didn’t actually lose, ACKSHULLY we never wanted that dirty Ukraine anyway. It were the other guy whut dun it.”
The mature hand-waving gets you every time in that photograph, right?
Not my money.
He wants my money
((Wave hand, gesticulate))Trying To Have A World War https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/trying-to-have-a-world-war
Over the weekend I saw Alex Krainer in 2 videos, explaining what happened Friday in the White House, with Trump and Zelensky. It appears to have been a set-up on the part of globalists, using Zelensky, who was pre-coached by Starmer, Macron, and just before the meeting, by Democratic Senator, Chris Murphy, extracting a commitment from Zelensky to “not back down”. Zelensky and his party had been instructed to follow protocol and to come wearing suits. Ukraine’s #2, Yermak, who never wears a suit, wore a suit. Zelensky did not, and was dinged by Trump upon arrival.
The September 2024 proposal by Zelensky to candidate Trump, for “$500 billion” of Ukrainian rare-earth and other mineral resources, was meant to keep Team Trump engaged on Ukraine’s side.
That deal also looked good to The City of London, it appears, so a few days before Trump took office in January, Kier Starmer signed a 100 year friendship agreement between the UK and Ukraine, whereby the UK would give Ukraine $3 billion/year “as long as necessary”. It appears that there is a secret addendum to that treaty, which is the deal Zelensky offered Trump, already turned over to the UK/City-of-London.
It is presumed that Russia knew and Trump knew that this signing of a vague “framework” without specifics on Friday would have been empty ceremony, but it was used by Zelensky as a stage to play a specific part to American and global audiences, the part of a noble Ukrainian victim of a Trump-Vance ambush.
Following the White House drama, Zelensky left without lunch, and went to London, where he was embraced by Starmer with words of succor, and numerous EU heads tweeted their support, then arrived for a summit, to promise support, and propose a combined war plan, called a peace plan, which will still need US troops as a backstop, and is a non-starter. It proposes a ceasefire, followed by the insertion of “peacekeepers” of nuclear-armed Britain and France, which Russia would target as belligerents. European finance is locked-into a large European war through financial commitments, by every rumor. Martin Armstrong says that chances for a hot WW-3 n Europe rise sharply after mid May. Another EU summit will happen Thursday in Brussels, with a lot of division already apparent. Hungary and Slovakia will not make war on Russia, and very much want Russian gas and oil.
There is an ongoing rumor, now more fleshed out, that negotiations are underway through back-channels to get Nordstream delivering gas to German industry again, which is pro-nationalist and anti-globalist in the current array of interests.
As global resources, especially energy resources, are about to terminally decline, the globalist approach wants to subordinate individual humans with AI, digital money and smartphones, while subordinating national governments through bribery and coercion of government officers. Global oligarchs would rule. Nationalist interests might ultimately be interested in the granular electronic control of individuals, but for the moment seek populist support for nationalist reconstruction of productive industries, in which deal working people will be offered a good enough deal to raise families and participate enthusiastically.
I think this could buy 20 good years for our world, but the nature of the real situation would need to be engaged openly and constructively.Alex Krainer: The Hidden Wars Ukraine’s Minerals and Global Power Plays https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tO7bhSRGhoI
Hal Turner: Europe SMASHES Trump Peace Effort for Ukraine; Adopts untenable position
It turns out that the British had already signed a deal that provided Ukraine “security guarantees” and right of access to Ukraine’s gas, oil, rare earth minerals, oversight of Ukraine’s ports, and opportunity to invest in the rebuilding of Ukraine, (signed between the two nations three days before President Trump’s inauguration, on the 17th of January 2025). They were looking to sucker the United States into providing security for THEIR exploitation of Ukraine. https://halturnerradioshow.com/index.php/news-selections/world-news/europe-smashes-trump-peace-effort-for-ukraine-adopts-untenable-positionGilbert Doctorow from Saturday, The Trump-Zelensky fracas in the White House
Yesterday’s Trump-Zelensky press conference marks a historical turning point. We were all witnesses to the moment that Ukraine was ‘thown under the bus,’ meaning when Washington said it will not provide security guarantees to Ukraine and will not supply further arms. We all understood why this is happening. I borrow from the remarks of Donald Trump yesterday when I say it is to spare the world a progression to World War III that Zelensky and his backers in the European Union are blithely courting by backing a lost cause. Kiev does not have the manpower for a fair-and-square victory on the field of battle. Kiev is using physical force to dragoon men off the city streets and send them to the field of battle, as Trump correctly observed.
In telling Zelensky point blank that he ‘has no cards to play,’ Donald Trump was calling for a Technical Knock-Out if I may introduce the language of boxing matches…
..Russia has also publicly declared its readiness to use its tactical nuclear arsenal to annihilate any NATO ‘peacekeeping’ troops that Britain, France and other Allied nations are foolish enough to send into Ukraine. They are saying that they have no intention of going into the trenches to shoot down NATO soldiers. No, they will wipe out 10,000 troop concentrations at a blow with their nuclear arms, and will not have any regrets because they have given fair warning to the enemy…
..To anyone with eyes to see, ears to hear it is clear that the game is up, that Trump has washed his hands of Zelensky. https://gilbertdoctorow.com/2025/03/01/the-trump-zelensky-fracas-in-the-white-house/Promises… Starmer vows to support Ukraine ‘for as long as it takes’ https://www-kommersant-ru.translate.goog/doc/7550199?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp

Gilbert Doctorow, Keir Starmer’s 4-point Ceasefire plan
Day by day the blindness and obtuseness of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and of his French comrade President Emmanuel Macron reach new and unimaginable heights.
This is perfectly clear from this morning’s Financial Times’ extensive report on the outcome of the meeting of 19 European leaders that Starmer convened in London on Sunday…
..Starmer and Macron have decided to speak to Trump on Ukraine’s behalf. They are proposing a one-month Cease Fire that will cover hostile actions in the air, sea and relating to energy infrastructure. They do not propose to watch the 1000 km long battlefront, presumably because that is beyond their capabilities…
..Here it is stunning that they are not listening to the flat refusal of President Vladimir Putin and Foreign Minister Lavrov in their public statements of the past week to allow any stationing of foreign troops in Ukraine as guarantors of security…
..Zelensky gave a rambling answer in line with the boorish remarks he delivered in the Oval Office. He said that the much-awaited deal on rare earth was still ready for signing, but quietly added that it had to include a U.S. security guaranty for his country after the war. Very good, but such a guaranty was explicitly refused by Trump. https://gilbertdoctorow.com/2025/03/03/keir-starmers-4-point-ceasefire-plan/Celia Farber, Starmer/Zelensky/EU “Securing Our Future” Summit Culminates With Starmer Pledging New Billions To Ukraine And Committing To British “Boots On The Ground And Planes In The Sky”

Among the 19 whom I counted when they posed for the obligatory group photo were Emmanuel Macron, Donald Tusk, Georgia Meloni, Justin Trudeau, Mark Rutte, Ursula von der Leyen.
In the few introductory words delivered by Keir Starmer, we heard that their common mission is to provide for European security, in which defending Ukraine plays a vital role. They seemingly wish to arrive at a common position on defending Ukraine that they will later present to Washington.
The problem with this is that they are knowingly running directly against the now crystal clear position of Donald Trump to wash his hands of Zelensky and to allow the Russians to finish up this war as they see best…
..By their present gathering, these leaders are setting the stage for a U.S. pull-out from NATO. They forget how the United States under any president, not just Donald J. Trump, reacts to defiance from allies…
..As for Keir Starmer, he must be the stupidest of the lot. When in Washington meeting with Donald Trump, he was offered a tariff free trade deal with the USA that his country has sought ever since Brexit. He failed to see that this was the deal: you get tariff free trade if you just shut up about Ukraine. But shut up this oaf could not do. https://gilbertdoctorow.com/2025/03/02/european-leaders-commit-collective-suicide-at-a-support-ukraine-meeting-convened-by-pm-keir-starmer-in-london/European Reality Check: Without The US There Is No NATO And No Ukraine https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/european-reality-check-without-us-there-no-nato-and-no-ukraine

Europe is Falling & Needs War with Russia – Martin Armstrong
It looks like Zelensky intentionally started a fight with Trump in the White House. It also looks like every country in Europe is backing more war in Ukraine. And now, there is renewed talk of an EU army. Armstrong says, “Why? Because they all are facing the collapse of the European Union. The debt is just unbelievable. They never consolidated. Between Covid, Climate Change and sanctions on Russia, the German economy has shrunk . . . 3% to 5%. The economic growth (of the EU) is appalling. Europe is falling, and this is why they need war. So, they are backing Zelensky.”…
..In a new report released yesterday, Armstrong lays out the case why war in Europe is coming and coming soon. Armstrong points out, “In this report, I gathered a bunch of headlines: London Financial Times, what’s the headline? ‘America is Now the Enemy of the West.’ This is why Trump is saying ‘We are out.’ …
..So, why are all these reports coming out in the last few months about gold coming to America from Europe? Armstrong says, “Last week, I was on the phone, and I can’t tell you how much, but when you are about to go into war, capital moves. . . .

$4BN In Military Aid To Israel
Zelensky got his dressing down on Friday for basically never being satisfied even after the billions in US taxpayer dollars poured into Kiev’s coffers over several years. He was accused by President Trump and VP J.D. Vance of being ungrateful and rude in the Oval Office meeting.
As for the other country which routinely receives billion in US defense funds and foreign aid; should we expect Netanyahu to receive the same treatment? …
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio unveiled on Saturday that he has signed a declaration to expedite delivery of some $4 billion in military assistance to Israel. Rubio added that 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.”
“Rubio said he had used emergency authority to expedite the delivery of military assistance to Israel, which is now in a fragile ceasefire with U.S.-designated terrorist organization Hamas in their war in Gaza,” Reuters writes.
Almost $12 billion in major foreign military sales has already been approved by the Trump administration since January 20, even as the White House has hailed the fragile Hamas truce and hostage handover as happening because of Trump taking office.
While Americans have by and large turned on Zelensky, and have grown weary of the persisting Russia-Ukraine war, support for Israel among the US public remains high – and so Trump is unlikely to come under fire from his base. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/us-back-turned-ukraine-rubio-expedites-delivery-4bn-military-aid-israelEgyptian, UK leaders stress need for Gaza reconstruction without displacement of residents https://www.aa.com.tr/en/middle-east/egyptian-uk-leaders-stress-need-for-gaza-reconstruction-without-displacement-of-residents/3496719

A grand deal involving Turkey, Syria, and the Kurds is in the works, and on Thursday a historic announcement was made by the leader of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK).
Abdullah Ocalan, speaking from a Turkish prison, has called on the group that he founded to lay down its arms and disband. This is the result of years of running Turkish-PKK battles as well as fragile negotiations. The PKK has long been in an official state of war with the Turkish government, which considers it a terrorist organization.
“Convene your congress and make a decision,” Ocalan said in the statement, read aloud both in Kurdish and in Turkish. “All groups must lay down their arms and the P.K.K. must dissolve itself.” https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/pkk-founder-orders-kurdish-group-lay-down-its-arms-dissolve-historic-statementFrom Eleni in Athens: Kurdish militant chief Ocalan’s peace call prompts hope, scepticism in Turkey http://www.defenddemocracy.press/kurdish-militant-chief-ocalans-peace-call-prompts-hope-scepticism-in-turkey/

But Abdi said the long-imprisoned Ocalan’s announcement on Thursday applied only to the PKK and was “not related to us in Syria”.
Abdi’s comment signalled Ocalan’s announcement would have no immediate impact on the SDF despite the affiliation of Syria’s main Kurdish groups at the core of the SDF – the People’s Protection Units (YPG) – to the PKK. https://www.defenddemocracy.press/sdf-chief-says-pkk-disarmament-call-not-related-to-us-in-syria/ Just Hours Until Trump Tariff Barrage On China, Canada, & Mexico: Here’s The Latest
On Tuesday, absent any last minute surprise, President Trump will slap new tariffs on Canada and Mexico while doubling a levy on China, moves that would dramatically expand his push to revive domestic manufacturing, tap new revenues and rebalance ties with the biggest US trading partners.
The long-promised tariffs scheduled to take effect at midnight on Tuesday would be among the most sweeping of the Trump era, applying to roughly $1.5 trillion in annual imports. They would put a 25% tariff on all imports from Canada and Mexico, except Canadian energy, which would face a 10% rate.

FURTHER AMENDMENT TO DUTIES ADDRESSING THE SYNTHETIC OPIOID SUPPLY CHAIN IN THE PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA
EXECUTIVE ORDER
March 3, 2025
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) (IEEPA), the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), section 604 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2483), and section 301 of title 3, United States Code, I hereby determine and order:Section 1. Background. With Executive Order 14195 of February 1, 2025 (Imposing Duties to Address the Synthetic Opioid Supply Chain in the People’s Republic of China), I determined that the failure of the Government of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) to act to blunt the sustained influx of synthetic opioids, including fentanyl, flowing from the PRC to the United States constituted an unusual and extraordinary threat, which has its source in substantial part outside the United States, to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States. To address that threat, I invoked my authority under section 1702(a)(1)(B) of IEEPA to impose ad valorem tariffs on articles that are products of the PRC, as defined by the Federal Register notice described in section 2(d) of Executive Order 14195, as amended by Executive Order 14200 of February 5, 2025 (Amendment to Duties Addressing the Synthetic Opioid Supply Chain in the People’s Republic of China).
Pursuant to section 3 of Executive Order 14195, I have determined that the PRC has not taken adequate steps to alleviate the illicit drug crisis through cooperative enforcement actions, and that the crisis described in Executive Order 14195 has not abated.
