Here in the UK I am keeping my fingers crossed for Trump 2.0, despite the qualms, particularly vis a vis the ME. It is becoming clearer by the day who the enemies of humanity really are. Pity Europeans, especially the young, with our assorted puppets, none more pathetic yet dangerous than Sir Keir Starmer. His poll ratings are I think at a record low, BTW.

President Trump paused all military aid to Ukraine, Bloomberg reported.

The pause will halt all military aid that is currently in transit to Ukraine.

…and the Euro (Brits aren’t even in the EU!) “smackdown” as well.

OK, I read this and as usual with me, a small detail stuck out - Cecil Rhodes and the Rothschilds. Wilbur Smith is an excellent South African author who has a trilogy about the founding of Rhodesia. (If interested, the first book is A Falcon Flies.) Cecil Rhodes is a central character of this historical fiction series and Smith's portrayal of Rhodes shows what a nasty piece of work Rhodes was. Rhodes was attempting to re-create an East Indian Trading Company kind of dominance over the locals to establish the Kimberly Diamond mines. He killed many natives using machine guns and he also eff'd any Brit who tried to rein him in, literally in some cases, as Smith shows him to be a homosexual. So let's combine this rotten SOB with the Rothschilds and viola, let's take over the USA too. Makes perfect sense to me. Especially knowing the history of Russia helping the US during the Civil War.

The bankers, Rothschilds, have been starting wars and killing millions for over 2 centuries. And the English, Bank of England, has been their key ally. But hopefully now, it may be getting terminated. The Bank is in serious trouble, meaning England is broke. And that Fabian, Starmer, is a putz. If Trump can pull this off, the English/Rothschild wrecking ball will be stopped after 500+ years and mankind might truly know some peace for a time.

Per AFP WH correspondent, Danny Kemp, Trump was quoted this afternoon as saying, on the question of suspending military aid to Ukraine, "I haven't even talked about that right now."

Doesn't deny, just sidesteps. Vagueness is probably an effective strategy here, as a gut-check on who supports or freaks out the loudest.

I wonder how long till the mi6 connection to Russiagate gets declassified?

Trump defeated a bunch of gop that voted for impeachment.

Trump is feared, not loved, by most of the GOP in Congress.

What makes you think the MI6 connection will get declassified? By whom? Tulsi, Ratcliffe, Bondi? Perhaps the SDNY won't let us down again...

Video from Zelensky's twitter page, 2/28/25, US Senators gushing over him at Hay Adams meeting prior to Trump oval office meeting. Since all Senators favor endless war and enslavement of US taxpayers to it via post 1945 architecture, the term "bipartisan" is misleading. US has no "peace party"...https://x.com/ZelenskyyUa/status/1895510194550943828

This war is WW3. New World Odor vs Russia.

Trump is trying to defuse it.

Russia has the firepower to whip everyone !

Some satanists would rather lose than give in.

New World Odor - or odour as we benighted Brits would spell it - very apt.

I opine EU is desperate to kick the can and get through some elections

Trump on the other hand is a dichotomy. Saving Ukraine Civilians Slaughtering Gaza Civilians

Saving Money in Ukraine ( stop the bleeding ) No Limit Checkbook for Israel ( ton of bleeding )

Ukraine cannot be won, Russia is simply too strong and simply has natural resources and manufacturing, logistics and costs savings, such that it is impossible for the US to win in Ukraine. I understand Ukraine was not winnable since day 1 ; a tremendous blunder

and I opine that if there is an immoral will, lacking in all decency ( and it appears the case ) possibly the current Gaza Genocide and Ethnic Cleansing can be completed; but honestly what does the US really gain from the Ethnic Cleansing.

What is the benefit. A " New Dubai " in Gaza ? But at what long term cost. Even if one sets aside any and all morality humanity and decency, I can't see any benefit.

- cost removal all citizens ( 1.8 - 2 million ) and new placement

- cost of removal of demolition and rebuilding

- cost of policing after the fact for a minimum of 10 years

- diplomatic costs

I just imagine Trump as a business man has to have done a cost benefit analysis, I just cannot see how he sees the US comes out ahead.

Right now the method seems to be starvation and dehydration so no US troops so you save the incredible cost of veterans and veteran care. But there still appears ( Iraq as the example/comparison) on a 10 year estimate - $ 25 - 40 billion a year in expenses and 150 - 300 billion upfront costs ( as a wild eyed guess ).

It appears Trump knows Israel will cost the US a minimum $ 25 - $50 Billion a year for the next 10 years - and maybe that is why he is working so hard to come up with the money. Unless of course some of the neighbors are actually for it, because they feel they will benefit, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Turkey - are the Arab States going to drop Palestine ?

I simply cannot see 10 years down the road, that there is a benefit and I do not see any plan.

Is Trump going to settle with all surrounding neighbors [ Syria, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon ] and have a peace plan with a re-drawn State of Israel - as Russia appears to desire and US may agree to in Ukraine ?

I asked Musk's GROK for a cost benefit analysis:

Perhaps Interesting:

Conclusion

Over 10 years, removing Palestinians from Gaza and the West Bank might yield a slim net gain ($33 billion) in an optimistic scenario but more likely a net loss (-$95 billion midpoint, -$223 billion worst-case).

Israel could see modest profits ($27 billion), while the U.S. bears a deficit (-$122 billion), echoing Iraq’s fiscal drain ($25–$40 billion yearly post-2011). This excludes catastrophic non-financial costs—regional chaos, global backlash, and human suffering—which dwarf any ledger. The analysis hinges on speculative stability; history suggests such ventures bleed red far beyond a decade.

Are Trump and Musk asking these questions ?

I would just love to know, what is the cost benefit analysis to the Genocide and Cleansing in Gaza. 10 year. What is the cost, what is the benefit, and how does Trump see this as a win ?

10 year is noted, as I believe it fair to presume, there are 100's of thousands of youth college and just out of college, that will not be voting for Israel 10 years from now. That ship may well be sailing.

According to a new poll by DailyMail and J.L. Partners, President Trump’s approval rating has climbed by one percentage point over the past two weeks, reaching a historic high of 54 percent amid a deeply divided national sentiment. Younger voters notably drive the uptick in approval; 56 percent of those aged 18 to 29 now express approval, up from 51 percent just two weeks prior.

When asked about their changing perceptions of the president, more than one-third of Americans (36 percent) reported a more positive view, while only 16 percent indicated a more negative stance. President Trump’s return to the White House has been anything but quiet.

Trump administration weighs lifting sanctions on Russia – Reuters

The possible plans are reportedly part of the president’s efforts to improve ties with Moscow and end the Ukraine conflict

The White House has directed the State and Treasury departments to draft proposals for easing certain sanctions on Russia, Reuters reported on Monday, citing sources familiar with the matter. The tentative plans would align with US President Donald Trump’s efforts to improve diplomatic and economic relations with Moscow and to facilitate an end to the conflict in Ukraine.

The proposed sanctions relief could include specific Russian entities and individuals, including some business leaders, according to the outlet. The list will be discussed with Russian representatives in the coming days as part of the administration’s broad talks with Moscow on repairing ties, the sources told Reuters.
