Trump has listened to the NEOCONS running NATO that Russia’s performance in Ukraine is not “distinguished.” On social media, he argued that Moscow’s failure to gain more territory in Ukraine over more than three years “is very much making them look like ‘a paper tiger.’” Then he dared to tell this MERCHANT OF DEATH Zelensky, that the war “looks like it’s not going to end for a long time.” Ukraine does not have the manpower. The only way for this to run for a long time is if NATO troops enter Ukraine, and that is WWIII. I do not know who the hell Trump is listening to, but it is total bullshit NEOCON propaganda. China has made it very clear that it is not prepared to allow Russia to lose. They told Kallas that to her face. If this is a Trump negotiation tactic, I would call his bluff. Let’s start World War III. Will the American people then support Trump? He will never get his Nobel Peace Prize with this tactic.
Trump has been indoctrinated by the very people who wanted him DEAD. His departure from his campaign rhetoric, when Trump vowed to end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours, has now turned to advocating even the invasion of Russia. Trump has regularly characterized Kiev’s chances against Moscow as hopeless and pressured the Zelensky administration to accept the Kremlin’s terms. Surrender the Donbas, which was the Minsk Agreement, and had that been honored by the West, there would be no war. Trump has now endorsed World War III. Just ask yourself, what if Putin were supporting Mexico, and he just advocated that if they wanted to invade the United States, he would help them. I think we would get off our ass and pay attention.
Just as Netanyahu made a significant mistake attacking Qatar, which has now united all of the Arabs, even Saudi Arabia, with Iran, and against Israel, Trump just did this to Russia, China, North Korea, and India. Trump has just endorsed World War III, and if he thinks this will make Putin yield, he is dead wrong. Putin is NOT stupid. He knows this is not a war with Ukraine; this is against NATO and now the USA.
This is a war for the total destruction of Russia. Trump has now said that if Russian warplanes violate the airspace of NATO members, they can shoot them down. The intrusions in recent weeks, which have been FALSE FLAGS of NATO, were intended to create this result, and they have succeeded. In response to an Article 4 declaration by the Polish government after a Russian drone incursion earlier this month, the alliance launched “Operation Eastern Sentry,” establishing collective policies and procedures for aerial defense on NATO’s eastern flank. Quoting Trump’s support for shooting down any Russian aircraft that enters NATO airspace in the future, Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski tweeted, “Roger that.”
After going to dinner at Mara Largo when Trump was President the first time, he impressed me by saying he wanted to pull the troops out of Afghanistan because he was tired of writing letters to their families that their son died for God and country. I believe he thinks this is showing strength to Putin, and he will back down.
The NEOCON hatred toward Russia stems from several key ideological and strategic motivations that date back to when Khrushchev said, “We will bury you,” a philosophical boast that he believed communism would defeat capitalism. Trump had better study his damn history.
After Khrushchev backed down from the Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962, which significantly weakened his position and contributed to the coup that did happen almost two years later, in October 1964.
Many within the Soviet Politburo (the Presidium) and the military were indeed furious. They saw the withdrawal of missiles as a humiliating retreat and a sign of Khrushchev’s reckless brinkmanship. They felt he had gambled with nuclear war and lost, damaging the USSR’s international prestige.
Khrushchev tried to frame the outcome as a victory. He argued that he had secured a public guarantee from the US not to invade Cuba (which was a key goal for Castro) and, crucially, a secret deal for the US to remove its Jupiter missiles from Turkey. From this perspective, he had achieved a strategic win by removing a direct threat to the USSR and protecting an ally, all while avoiding a catastrophic war.
Because of this “peacemaker” narrative and the fact that the secret Turkey deal wasn’t widely known, there wasn’t enough immediate, organized opposition to remove him in late 1962 or early 1963. Still, discontent from the Cuban Missile Crisis festered and merged with other serious grievances against Khrushchev over the next two years. The plotters who ousted him in 1964 cited a long list of failures, with the Cuban situation being a central one. Khruschev was ousted by a coup and replaced by Leonid Brezhnev.
If Trump is this naive to think he can intimidate Putin to surrender, he is out of his mind. My computer has been targeting November all year, both personally for Putin and nationally. This is why Zelensky has attempted to assassinate Putin. He is restrained. They prefer someone who will act emotionally. If Putin were forced to back down, that would be a HUGE loss of face, and it would most likely lead to a coup.
What Trump has done is absolutely STUPID, and it is typical advice from a NEOCON. If Trump had to back down on a major issue, the press would tear him apart at the seams. He is buying the BS of the NEOCONS that the USA is the most powerful nation on Earth, so that everyone will tremble in our presence.
Well, it looks like this year’s WEC may be our 40th and final gathering. Next year is a Panic Cycle on our war model. I am not sure if travel will even be possible by the end of 2026.
