The Crusades Never Ended.
Zionism’s Medieval Christian Roots EXPOSED | Prof. Manuel J. Ramos
snippet: The age of European colonialism never really ended, it just changed its costume. Today’s geopolitics look and feel so barbarian, medieval because they are the ghosts of the Crusades and a forgotten medieval legend.

Participantfrom John Day in the previous thread.
Do any of you see how this is supposed to “work”?
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/san-francisco-restricts-rv-parking-effort-combat-homelessness
San Francisco has approved a new two-hour parking limit on all oversized vehicles in an attempt to prevent homeless people from living in RVs and to reclaim public spaces across the city.
—————-
Living in an RV is seen luxury in many places, your average Algerian can’t afford to buy a RV, nor can I, my neighbors in a v. ‘rich’ country (CH), even via ‘lease’ or w.‘debt’ etc.
USA. Any ‘reasonable’ municipal authority would have long ago arranged some ‘areas’ / even ‘services’ for ppl living in cars/RVs/ etc. to be able to ‘camp’ more or less ‘happily.’ One + pt is that the ppl in vehicles can be moved around, avoiding the ‘rough camp’ image, the ‘thrash place’ horror, etc.
The cost would be minimal, moreover one would be ‘helping’, accomodating, ppl who are employees, are working, are students, are children who need school in one place or another, etc. It would be so easy and cheap to do and have positive impact on much……But NO!
The US is collapsing from within, with vicious competition, a murderous class war, easy allowed sadism, discrimination, and perpetual arming and empowering ‘State’ (servants of the rich) policing orgs, to crack down on the poor, the bothersome (no RVs in my street etc…)
Like, ICE is a rogue paramilitary org. imho.

*German Police Raid AfD MEP’s Property For The 22nd Time*
Much talk about banning the AFD in Germany, but it isn’t done yet.
In France, Marine Le Pen has been banned from standing for elections, heh.
—> As in a new election facing Macron she might win, although she was always a ‘going-along opposition figure’ and never wanted to be Prez. of France, and did all to avoid winning in the last election.
As for the AFD in Germany, the ‘leader’ is a ‘blondined’ woman, Alice Weidel, who is married to another woman from Sri Lanka, they have 2 children (by surrogate or ? Idk) and they live in Switzerland, not in Germany. Super Theatrics!
poor wiki, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_Weidel
As everyone will understand I am not against gay marriage or whatever in that line.

ParticipantOn Trump sending a birthday card to Epstein:
A society of more than 300 million ppl that takes seriously the sending of cards with short personal messages, with outlines of naked women (or not, or whatever) is for sure in terminal decline.
One might imagine (specially in the US) some silly gossip column making fun of some card, showing a pic of it, heh heh so shocking etc. Cute figure! Ooh fun wink wink! Those guys are …. etc. Even that would be super lame in gossip column lore, probably killed by the editor as not thrilling enough.

ParticipantOn, from Hero to Zero, by Ian Proud, at top post. Quote:
Since the start of the war in Ukraine, in February 2022, Zelensky has been elevated to the status of a hero King, pure in thought and deed, interested only in saving humble Ukraine from the onrushing hordes of Russian Orcs. (…)
Yet, in an instant, that illusion has been shattered.
For the first time since February 2022, Zelensky has been revealed as, in practical terms, no different from other Ukrainian Presidents (…) corrupt and authoritarian.
Etc.
Idk this Ian Proud Fellow, I guess he is just a hack for the MSM / PTB.
Zel was touted as a Valiant Hero by the W (USuk-EU in first place) though he was a dodgy fit.
Not much presence, no thought-out policies, no proper rhetoric, (a comic actor, ok), small, badly dressed (war costume not fooling anybody), at least he spoke a rough English… All that tells us a lot about who is willing to be a sacrificial stooge for the ‘W’ and who they can co-opt. >> The field is getting thin…!
Zel is an expendable figure like others, and the time to get rid of him is approaching, therefore articles like that above by Proud, using the laws against corruption as validation. Imagining that any anti-corruption ‘law’ or ‘stricture’ or even ‘habit’ should / could be applied in UKR is so laughable Idk what to say. Proud is just spouting some ‘noble sounding’ anticipatory reasons for junking Zel.
More innaresting is who gets to occupy that chair next.

ParticipantIn the USA the same contrived narrative ploy is used over and over again.
Propaganda, often very targetted, vicious, alarming, mostly extravagant fakery is bruited. After some years pass, to round eyes cough cough admitting OOPSies that wasn’t quite right, well mistakes are made, etc. etc. Who cares, really? The news cycle churns on…
Today, Tulsi: Russia-Gate was a hoax, a total fake created by Killary taken up by Obiman. Anyone paying attention knew it was nonsense. But US TV watchers embraced it…

ParticipantI predicted Trump would not finish his second term, iirc here, a gut feeling, nothing to back it up. Death, illness, quitting, destitution, whatever..? The movement is accelerating.
On the EPSTEIN (JE) matter, Col. L Wilkerson. I opened this youtube interview as I like that Col. It isn’t terribly interesting on the EPSTEIN scandal, better on related matters – he opens up about some history: Iraq War, C. Powell, the election of Clinton, and more, plus the general drift of US history. Well worth a listen.
Back to JE. First off, there is no way Trump would have proposed / promised to release the ‘JE files / client list’ if he himself was implicated in any way about ‘sex w. minors.’ DT is not *that* stupid.
DT knew Epstein, JE mingled with everyone, etc., the photos of chums at parties don’t mean much.
It looks like DT had no clue about what is in the files, went along with Dems ‘are pedos’ scandals (Pizzagate, JE client list..). Had no info about the relevance, role of Epstein (what that precisely was Idk either), what really went on.
Which shows that he is a figurehead just like Biden was, signing not with an autopen but a sorta semi Gothic fancy spikey script.
Clearly, he was recently ordered *!* -> STOP ! the JE revelations, or YOU are history.
He obeys that order, spouting lame, ridiculous, declarations, trying to bury the whole matter, get rid of it ‘real fast.’
All this distracts from US actions re. Palestine, Syria …

ParticipantJohn Day, thx for the response, what you wrote is pretty much in the same line, maybe from some different angles. Imho ‘Empires’ better called in our modern days international control of some regions / countries / etc. will always be diminished, reduced, ‘foreign influence’ kicked out, etc. in similar ways.
Plus ca change, plus c’est la même chose…

ParticipantBiden as Prez was a red-light signal of the US Empire in Decline. A geriatric dodderer with no decisionary powers run by a committee, controlled by one half of the Uniparty.
— The two parties, Dem – Rep, are in economic competition and united in keeping the ‘folks’ (Obama), the ‘deplorables’ (Clinton) in false divisions and uninformed of what is going on. —
Andropov, back in the USSR, clue in the music, was rigid One Party, it was accepted ‘seniors’ could be ‘figureheads.’ The commitee takes on running everything.
Gorbatchev, viewed as a traitor by many, was next. He attempted sweeping reforms, in sharp contrast to Andropov enforcing the old order, why Idk, all in favor of ‘western’, ‘neo-lib’ ‘modern’ etc. policies, mind-sets, agreements, laws, leading to the plunder of the USSR and its breakup. (Jeffrey Sachs was an advisor.)
Trump is in a similar spot to Gorby. To maintain the US domination over large parts of the world, aka ‘US hegemony’, plus ensure some kind of status quo at home that prevents civil war / extreme violence, radical reform MUST be implemented.
His path seems to be a confused and partial approach to a returning to ‘old times’ when the USA was an industrial, commercial power, unrivalled, after WW2. Combined with ‘new alliances’, dire threats re. commerce (note, not military) to Russia and others… (well maybe old story by now.) But that is being charitable… More could be said, this post is too long…

Participantre.the first article at top post, Trenin:
https://swentr.site/news/621486-dmitry-trenin-world-war-iii/
(Of course WW3 is already raging imho.)
War – in its modern, diffuse form – has intensified. This is not a new Cold War. Since 2022, the West’s campaign against Russia has grown more decisive.
Iirc. Trenin used to be quite pro-West, or pro-Peace / negotiation, compromise, etc. He only recently swerved to a more ‘realist’ stance. Putin is also becoming seriously pissed off, and recently declared that France is amongst the first of non-friendly nations (my words not his), putting it ahead of Germany. Details don’t matter…
Fellow European powers like Britain, France, and Germany must be made to understand they are vulnerable. Their capitals are not immune. The same message should reach Finland, Poland, and the Baltics. Provocations must be met swiftly and decisively.
Modern ‘war’ is multi-level:
Trade -> see tariffs, sanctions, moves at the WTO, banking sector, etc. In first place.
Munitions -> smart or not, precision or not, effective or not, cheap / expensive.. paid for by xyz.
Digital -> exchange of information, access to satellites, information, plots, spying, hacking data, cutting off the internet, info conduits, blowing up cell phones to kill, etc.
Propaganda -> controlling the news, the intertubes, grass roots orgs, communications in general, supressing dissidents by various ‘digital’ (amongst other) means.
Lawfare -> attacking parties via some ‘Intl laws’ or whatever can be mustered; against home dissidents as well.
Biowarfare -> Infecting populations is definetly part of the arsenal, be it against supposed ‘enemies’ or ‘locals’ who are undesired.
Other -> a long list.
Russia is threatening to show what being bombed is like.

ParticipantDoug Henwood, Feb. 2023.
*Scattered speculations on the US ruling class*
excerpts:
The quick version of my historical analysis is that the WASP elite that ruled the country from the late 19th century through the 1970s lost its pre-eminence and was succeeded by, well, it’s not easy to say what, except that it’s more mercenary and short-sighted than its predecessor. .. Since the 2016 election, analysts have talked about much of Trump’s support coming from the white working class.
(…)
Though they may code as working class to metropolitan elites, a lot of those supporters don’t have many scratches in the cargo beds of their giant pickup trucks. As a 2019 paper by Thomas Ogorzalek and collaborators put it, they’re nationally poor and locally rich—a provincial petite bourgeoisie, lawyers, accountants, car dealers, contractors. That has long been a base for right-wing politics…
….the right, which is now on a campaign against “woke capitalism,” or what the irrepressible Marjorie Taylor Greene calls “corporate communism.” Republican states are withdrawing pension assets from BlackRock management, and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is making ESG into one of the fronts in his war on wokeness.

ParticipantRe. the Trump support figures up top. Many polls are quite ‘partial’, some are ‘manipulated’, even without intent to skew, anyway let’s take it on, the results reflect that ‘cheap’ labor depresses long-term nationals / residents salaries, job opportunities, advancement, etc.
Getting rid of the ‘intruders’ ‘illegals’ seems an obvious, simple solution, the hope being, our incomes will rise.
Very real beefs imho as ‘productivity gains’ have been for a long time, say roughly 50 years, shunted to the top 10% – to the 1% – at the expense of the workers doing the job. This is common knowledge, but it leads to zero politically (see the like of Bush, Obiman, Pelosi or Sanders..)
So manhandling and kicking out the ppl one can blame (poor immigrants, etc.) instead of destroying, changing, the system is an easy ‘out’ and allows some citizens to grasp some hope for change.
Targetting some group for xtreme cruelty – incarceration – killing … is a common tactic. Bush opened Gitmo, Trump is opening some new prison? (Idk the details). Trump’s thing though is ‘deportation’, I doubt he beats on the numbers – Obama was tops (one link.)
Getting rid of much cheap imported labor will kill, or reduce, or slowly strangle, many biz in the US who are dependent on it. Agri, fast food, landscaping, home hairdressing, pool maintaince, nail shops, and more, idk. Construction. Agri imho is the biggest choke-point.
So Trumpy is caught between a rock and a hard place. He needs to favor, represent, aid, his base, and at the same time be a Maga Leader who supports the MIC, Big Med, Big Pharma, and increasing Police State (DHS, etc.), cutting social benefits (Medicaid etc.), sending many to their death. (Military funding not taken into account here.)

ParticipantCandace Owens (see post at top) has taken over an F claim that Brigitte Macron is a man.
This is a kind of ricochet, copy, of the ‘scandal’ that claims Michelle Obama is a man, never had 2 children, etc. (I won’t be adressing this claim here…)
The original story came from a man called Xavier Poussard, who publishes a print-only news sheet, very expensive to buy, and is doing very well.
Recently (but only since afaik 6 months) he has appeared on a few ‘talk shows’ on ‘alt media.’ (I saw one and wasn’t impressed.)
The meme however was taken up by 2 women who were hating on Brigitte Macron.
Amandine Roy and Natacha Rey (independent ‘journos’, use these names for any search) have both been condemned to big fines for — well it isn’t libel, or diffamation, but ‘false information’ or some combo thereof, the legal aspect is murky.
Huff post in F:
The problem with the story is that Brigitte has 3 children, and they look like a perfect mix of her and her ex (now deceased), and none of the ‘conspi’ theorists have been able to account for where these children came from, as not being not children of Brigitte and her husband.
The best they did was to out a woman called Brigitte Auzière (same name as Brigitte Macron before her marriage to the F Pres) who was a regional councillor somewhere — this Bibi never had any children, and she and her husband have also won ‘damages’ for incorrect info, etc.
France has a long history of loving US culture — jazz, whiskey, black ppl doing showie stuff, tabloid journalism, going back to 1920, and this bent seems to be having a heyday!
Noirette
ParticipantWhen the Empire cracks, some of its vassals become hyper agressive (partly on their own account for their own interests), as a valiant loyal spear-head, etc. (e.g. Israel. Which can’t survive without massive US (EU) support.)
Others may bow down and kiss the Emperor’ ring or feet, understanding that only over-the-top flattery may keep a shaky (or right-out ersatz) alliance going strong, aka sworn to! personal subservience. (Rutte, at NATO summit. Beyond Pathetic.)
This works on Trump for maybe 3 hours, 3 days, or 3 weeks, as he, his Admin, are locked into strange shifting agendas, having no long term strategy, no clear goals (that are realistic imho, other story.)
This is not specifically related to Trump, but to US foreign policy in general (let’s say from Obiman on) which veers between armed attacks, bombing, devastation of anyone who provides an easy target, economic sanctions, political manipulations (color revols, scotching elections, installing puppets, manipulating statesmen, buying up huge swathes of land, industries, and more…) which happily seems to be vacillating…?
Trumpy as the last figure to reign? Idk.
Noirette
ParticipantWhat we are witnessing is the winding down of the US Empire. Trump is caught between (his supporters) ‘isolationists’ (no more war, multipolar world, good lucrative biz, with the USA still ‘on top’) and agressive war-mongers with varied motives. Both being approaches to maintain some kind of dominance.
Re. articles at top,
“US mulls easing Iran sanctions.” Iran was the winner in the 12 day skirmish. The USA needs new ties, links, allies, etc. notably w. Russia in 1st place.
Along the same lines, “Let Trump save us from war with Iran” as well as “The damage Iran has inflicted on Israel” (Helmer) both contain the idea that Iran gave Israel a strong but calibrated and cautious warning beating — to ‘save’ the vestiges of Israel, have it survive, it must stop agression, back down, etc.
“Netan. corruption trial should be cancelled” as said by Trump is another move in the same direction, Bibi being ‘pardoned’ might remove his motive for blowing up everything, he could retire to Florida.
The US warned of the coming attacks on Iran, and Iran warned the US that the US base in Qatar was to be blasted, as stated by Jay in “Is Donald Trump really running the Iran show?”
“Trump to consider future UKR aid” RT. The article shows that this is maybe, maybe not, shuffling around stuff. My guess is not, the US will do all it can to ignore, cover up, forget, the loss in Ukraine. One difficulty might be the kick-back mechanism (arms gifts / sales on tick afford kick-backs to the US shareholders, etc.)
Of course all of this leaves Palestinians on the genocide agenda.

ParticipantThe recent 12-Day-War, my take.
June 2025. The US and Iran are negotiating about the ‘nukulear’ matter. The negotiations sre going well.. (There were conflicting reports, however, overall, Iran was amenable to some conditions, etc.)
Bibi goes into a tailspin, and attacks Iran, 13 June, Operation Rising Lion, pointed at Nuke sites, individuals, and more, in Iran. Aim: blow up the US-Iran negotiations, drag the US in on the side of Israel, escalate. Do or die, all out….
This succeeds in part. Iran responds with retaliatory strikes right away (same day or close), Operation Rising Promise. Ballistic missiles, at various sites in Israel, incl. residential, as well as threatening US bases in the region.
TrumpAdmin go into a tailspin and decide to put a swift end to all this. The ostensible ‘bone of contention’ (always an excuse) is the ‘nukulear’ matter.
The 3 ‘nuke’ enrichment sites in Iran must be bombed. Iran is informed in advance, via the Swiss or possibly the Russians, the sites are evacuated, in any case the enriched uranium has already been removed from the sites.
The Iranians (possibly advised by the Russians) decide to let this happen, do not defend, let it go, no real damage, we will see later.
(Trump did the same thing on a research center in Syria.. he was suddenly applauded as a great leader!)So, Trump removes (or hopes to remove) the public reason for Israel’s attack on Iran. ‘Nuke’ stations bombed, problem solved, get over it, finis. The urgency leads Trump to abandon the negotiations with Iran (being branded as untrustworthy, not flash news) but that is not the main issue.
Iran makes a big show of its power to seriously harm Israel, is successful, not only because of Iran’s military power (I can’t describe, not up on that), but because Israel is a sort of ersatz outpost, a tiny strip of territory financed from elsewhere, the Iron Dome doesn’t work, Isr. is extremely vulnerable on many rubrics.
So Israel had to be saved from itself! (As many US supporters of Isr. have said, see D. McGregor.)
Trump tried to…. Save Bibi. As he just recently said, the legal attacks on Bibi are unlawful (or whatever words.)
Noirette
ParticipantThierry Meyssan, in line w. my prev. post. Just one aspect of course.
The confrontation between Israel and Iran does not at all correspond to the image presented by the media. Its roots lie in a period before the Islamic Republic and has no connection with the construction of a nuclear bomb. Its outbreak today is intended to conceal the misdeeds of the Argentinian Rafael Grossi, director of the International Atomic Energy Agency.
(…)
Iran was the victim, in 1917-1919, of the largest genocide of the First World War. 6 to 8 million people died of starvation out of a population of 18 to 20 million, or between a quarter and a third of Iranians. Iran, although neutral, was crushed by the British armies, against a backdrop of rivalry with the Bolsheviks and the Ottomans. This horror has left a traumatic memory that is still very present in Iran. There is no doubt for an Iranian that the United Kingdom is his country’s primary enemy.

Goog:
Approximately 2 million Persian civilians died during World War I, primarily due to famine and disease, exacerbated by the Armenian genocide and the actions of occupying forces. This period also saw occupation by Turkish, Russian, and British troops, although Persia officially maintained neutrality. 1

The fighting also involved local Persian units, who fought against the Entente and Ottoman forces in Iran. The conflict proved to be a devastating experience for Persia. 2

Indeed, and here in Switz. the Big Parade took place. I have been told it was less frequented / had less enthusiastic spectators, as compared to other years. (I was not here and didn’t see it myself. Apologies for the Frenchisms.)
Imho. GAY ‘liberation’ was not a spontaneous movement, it was organised by W powers, who wanted to show that they ‘accepted’ ‘alternative life-styles’ – note, of a non-political nature – and were not ‘bound by tradition’ and ‘condemned discrimination re. sexual practices’ and so on.
The demos, the symbols, rainbows, the showy clothes, etc. were calculated by Ad Agencies and spread around the W (no doubt with some payments here and there, imho… I know of one local case..) to ‘support the cause.’
The PTB behind the scenes had decided that social issues could mask others, and that they, the Elites, could give up some license, some privileges, pre-rogatives, re. sexual relations.
— Note in GB all upper class gays since 1750 had a free hand, OK, Oscar Wilde went to prison, but he was so over the top, an example needed to be made..
Yet, the most harmful sexual exploitation, pedophilia acted on, was, and is, held to the chest as a privilege for the Elites.

ParticipantOn “Musk stepping down” at top post.
Musk could not be a billionaire ‘entrepreneur’ and ‘cut Gvmt spending’, the two roles are antithetical.
Now that Tesla’s biz / stock (other Musky ventures not mentioned here) are going down the drain, he has to leave the Gvmt.
Gvmt. money-creation and spending is not there to earn money, but to ‘regulate’ money flows, via interest rates, loans, Gvmt budget, taxes, tariffs, plus, fund essential services, e.g. Education, Infrastructure, etc., via taxation, aka a re-distribution mechansim, without which the US (and other countries) immediately descend into Civil War.
This is a simplistic pov and doesn’t enter the debate about money creation and so forth, it is just the top of the ‘basic’ ledger that anyone can understand, and most ppl act on.
Sure cronyism, waste, corruption exist, in the US and elsewhere, on the ‘state’ teat, but that isn’t really relevant here.
Musk tried both to ‘save Gvmt money’ and I suppose ‘reduce Gvmt debt’ (without having a clue about it’s role and functioning) following a partisan agenda, a ‘small state plan’, cutting essential services as much as possible (that is set to continue imho), and targetting ‘social engineering stuff’ like diversity progs etc., basically entering into quarrels and taking sides about what groups should be favored via. Gvmt. funding.

ParticipantFrom, at top post, European kakistocracy locked in a Forever War against Russia by Escobar.
To qualify EU actions as self-destructive anti-intellectualism is actually benign. The IQ of people at the top in Brussels is at dismembered worm level, exemplified by the Estonian batshit crazy chick in theory representing the foreign policy of 450 million EU citizens. Brussels has been reduced to a pathetic Estonian propaganda snake pit with a whiff of British accent.
A lot of sympathy for this pov, but what Pepe is missing is that these EU ‘leaders’ (Ursi the Lying, Merz, more radical than Sholz, he just sanctioned NordStream!, Macron, always between two positions, and Meloni, trying to balance whatever, these are the figures one sees in the News, as pro-US, pro-NATO, anti-Russkie types, the Baltics snappers don’t count..) are AFRAID.
Desperate, even. They have been boosted and formatted by the US, still they owe something to the ppl on the ground, they are all acutely aware of what happened to Yugoslavia (balkanised, much killing, they agreed to that as it was just far off and ‘communist’ enough, and well…), to Lybia (again, somewhat removed, Muslim, etc.) .. what comes next?
Those who argue along the lines I am doing here often refer to the occupation of Germany and Italy post WW2 (+ Japan) with da military bases etc. I am not sure this plays much of a role, as compared to soft power, corruption, corp. / personal deals, trade agreements, election manipulation, and so on.

To realistic depictions of crazy dream-worlds?
I liked this one from Hatim’s shorts. Vlad, Don, Kim are chased away by Angela the hysterical housewife. Then they share the spoils. 🙂

ParticipantOn Proxies… see US-Russia-UKR links at top post.
In Europe, a question often asked is, does the US have a Foreign Legion?
Like France, officially, has? British Foreign Legion is a patchy story, Idk, lotsa details to look up.
Officially, one has to answer NO to this qu. (Hegemonic super-powers have no need! – say…)
The US Foreign Legion changes names often, e.g. from Mujahideen, to Al Qaida, to ISIS, to etc., now HTS, with for the first time in (recent) history, a US Foreign Legion Appointee is openly installed as ‘head of state’ -> Al Golani in Syria.
What was the support for the Azov Battalion, neo-Nazis, Banderistas, etc. in UKR, from the USuk, going back to say 1995, 2000? Hmm, Idk..?
I know about neo-Nazi movements in Europe, w. personal contacts, somewhat, and I am sure that without financing, support, encouragement, such movements remains just minor ‘club’, ‘cult’, ‘groupie’ type thing which nobody cares about, fears, etc. Admiring Hitler in a weekly beer drinking meet is fine for the participants but no threat to others.

ParticipantNima A. interviews John Helmer, vid. 1 hour. 1 May 2025.
John Helmer: Unpacking Trump’s Self-Inflicted Problems: A Deep Dive.
A bit long but Helmer does make some good points, and tries to sort out what is going on at the ‘top’ in the US. At least, it is an effort. (Not that I agree with all …)

Participantfrom ZH, at top post:
The Kremlin has said that what the newly signed minerals deal between Ukraine and Washington does is effectively force Kiev to pay for all future military aid.
DT is attempting to ‘get back the money’ that was ‘stolen’ from ‘us’ (USA) or ‘given away’ by us, by various culprits, such as, Biden, Zelensky, hoo, European idiotos, maybe even the British, whatever, you get the picture.
Imho these successive ‘mineral deals’ are a side issue. They may make Trumpy look smart, and make a ++ hit in some parts, but the contract is written on stained tissue paper.
(Idk the exact content of the latest agreement …)
UKR is a country with no ‘clear’ internal – external borders, a large part is occupied by Russia and is now, or soon set to be R, de facto, no matter what happens next. Who owns what territory is key in such agreements. Zel. is not a legit. Pres. according to many, any agreement he signs can be scrapped.
What is the pos. of the UKR parliament on this? Hmm…And who is going to organise / pay for / extraction, processing, transporting, selling, xyz ressources? To whom, at what cost, etc.? In a country that still exists and is not ‘at war’, and is not ravaged and mostly destroyed, non functioning? Unlikely…
The French call these kind of moves enfumage – en-smoking the audience, the opponents, etc.

ParticipantOn the Spanish Power outage (at top post.)
Spain and Portugal left, quit, the EU elerctric-energy market in 2024 (or somewhat before.)
This was hardly published in the MSM and commented on because it was an EU-exit of some kind. It went under the radar. Why? Because the European electric energy market is very complicated, it is set up to ‘bring profits’ to certain parties, much of it makes no sense.
IBERIA exiting was a blow, not to be acknowleged. (To be clear, Idk what tech / other glitch created the DOWNING in Iberia just now.)
This is just some background which might be irrelevant. Or not.
see Spain withdrawal, just one article, somewhat complete:
Yanis V. has denounced the EU electr. market as it affected Greece and others.

ParticipantTrump is trying to prevent / stop / slow the Loss of the US Empire.
He ran (2nd term) as a PEACE Prez. (Well they all do, really, I recall Bush Junior winning because he got the Muslim vote in the US, and then…) Money wasted on stupid International sorties is one easy aim-at point, as is the ‘immigant’ and DEI etc. issue, stuff. But all that is minor as compared to the US debt.
Anyways, to come to the main point, Trump believes that by manipulating or controlling the score-card of money (basically who pays what to whom, why, via what means, under what rules, coerced by what, etc.) and the copey – smokey of narrative can serve to ‘win’, ‘to get a beautiful deal’, and so on, thus re-invigoratin’ US domination – MAGA in real, concrete, terms.
All of which is a flimsy overlay of where the ‘real power’ – in terms of values, resistance, resilience, arms, patience, trickery, production / commodity / land / etc. assets, and more resides. It won’t work.
