September 24, 2025 | Trump calls Russia a ‘Paper Tiger,’ & Tells Zelensky He Can Now Invade Even Russia

Within months of Zelensky’s election, on December 20th, 2019, Ukrainian law enforcement raided both Poroshenko’s party headquarters and gym on the orders of President Zelensky, who has turned out to be ruthless and a questionable head of state. The raid was intended to eliminate any possible influence of Poroshenko going forward. It was used to launch criminal investigations focused on the alleged theft of servers containing classified information and tax evasion, which is now commonly referred to as money laundering. Zelensky outright accused Poroshenko of state treason, aiding terrorist organizations, and financing terrorism due to allegedly organizing the purchase of coal from separatist-controlled areas of Ukraine together with pro-Russian politician Viktor Medvedchuk. Poroshenko denied the allegations, calling them “fabricated, politically motivated, and black PR directed against [Zelensky’s] political opponents”.

Viktor Medvedchuk

The Zelensky Government of Ukraine quickly became a ruthless tyrant. He had also imprisoned the leader of the opposition Viktor V. Medvedchuk, who was the People’s Deputy of Ukraine from August 29, 2019. Medvedchuk was the chairman of the pro-Russia political organization Ukrainian Choice and an opponent of Ukraine joining the European Union. From an economic perspective, for Ukraine to join the EU would be to substitute one authoritarian government with another. Even the EU has called upon Zelensky to release Medvedchuk.

All of my sources questioned whether Zelensky was even legitimately elected. The neocons selected him to be the man to start World War III. Here is a video of him BEFORE being President, and like Soros, he pretended to be Christian and made jokes about confiscating the assets of Jews and Russians. My sources all said he was a NeoNazi, so after being elected, he suddenly claimed to be Jewish to dispel an investigation that he had been a NeoNazi.

Once again, we have a crisis in Eastern Europe that sparked World War I, setting the stage for World War III. The ethnic hatred in the Balkans will NEVER be eliminated. Zelensky has destroyed Ukraine. Now he wants NATO and America to send their people to die for his personal hatred of Russians.
Zelensky has even sought to have NATO nuke Russia before it can retaliate. If I were Putin, there is no way I could have a conversation with this MERCHANT OF DEATH, let alone have a peace agreement.
Zelensky.Skulls
I was warned by my sources last week that Trump admitted that we will be in World War III over Ukraine. Get ready for your children to die for this Merchant of Death – Zelensky. When he was elected, I strongly suggest cutting off ALL DONATIONS TO ANY POLITICIAN who supports Ukraine on any level, regardless of their political party. They do not deserve to represent even a pet goldfish.
World Nuclear War 2
After endorsing NATO strikes on any Russian warplanes that violate Allied airspace, Trump appeared to raise his support for Ukraine, declaring on social media that Ukraine can win back its entire occupied territory “in its original form” and “maybe even go further than that.”  In other words, Trump has just endorsed the invasion of Russia. Were I Putin, it is clear, the very survival of Russia is now at stake. That warrants a nuclear attack to take out all the capitals of Europe and NATO. There can be no peace with Ukraine, the EU, or NATO. Ukraine is the most corrupt country on the planet, and we have now endorsed ethnic cleansing.

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.

Chess war blood

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.

Nikita Khrushchev We will bury you

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.

Brezhnev

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.
