QUESTION: Do you agree with Trump imposing more sanctions on Russia to force peace?

VB

ANSWER: Absolutely no way. This is a stupid move, and it demonstrates to me that either Trump is not being fed the real intel, or he is being reckless. There is no way Putin should sign any peace deal with Ukraine when the EU is openly building an army and every word that comes out of their mouth is WAR, WAR, WAR. In Europe, Germany directed Zelensky not to sign any peace deal. They want war. On German TV, all you hear is war on talk shows and news. The EU is crumbling economically, and it needs war as a diversion.

Despite 450 million vs 330 million in the USA, GDP growth is a small fraction of that of the United States. They are clinging to Marxism and the social agenda, and they will ride that until the economy is completely destroyed.

If I were Putin, I would be preparing for outright war with NATO. If Trump does not wake up, he will drag the US into a third European War, which could even be by the fourth quarter of 2025. We have a Panic Cycle in 2026, and that is showing up as Panic Cycles in numerous markets. This is not going to be a walk in the park.
