Without discounting the magnitude of Trump’s initiative vis a vis Russia this week—the public shift of American positions was real, not just talk—we need to take a deep breath as some of the excitement subsides a bit.
Like weapons sent to The Ukraine, it is safe to assume that most USCIAid money went to people like Samantha Power and anyone else with access to the money-laundering pipeline of the organized crime racket known as America.
Poor long-suffering Americans. When will they finally rise up and clean the stables?
I'm an American. Most Americans are easily brainwashed and really ignorant about history and culture. Just throw a flag in their faces and scream "commies" or Russians or Chinese and you're good to go. It is shocking how many dumbasses out there still support the gigantic money laundering, genocidal shit hole that is "ukraine".
Zakharova is a goddess. Especially when compared to the tramps, whores, scolds and hysterical, pant-suited lesbians of the West in General and the Fourth Reich (EU) in particular.
And using the retarded (defeciency) spell casting word demo crazy (democracy) that needs to be wiped from “The Pale Blue Ball”!!!!! I am sooooo sick of this nonsensical word magic I could throw up!!!!
Russians are the only Christians, and the only Europeans, left on the planet, so, thanks but no thanks.
A sacrifice has to be perfect, not a rabid pig-dog like 'Cookies' Knudlemann. 'Mericans can put her in a common possum stew which they will be eating until they become 'Great' again.
How about just put her on the front line?!! Of course she deserves nothing less than the atrocities her kind com mitted to the Russians during the Bolshevik revolution!
Both great ideas. On the other hand, she must be hurting big time, which must be a "nasty surprise". But seriously, steps need to be taken to prevent her and fellow PNAC psychos from getting anywhere near power again.
I don't quite understand why Trump doesn't just throw the Neocons completely under the bus at this point. We are in an impossible negotiating position--Russia knows this, as does anyone else remotely paying attention (and not still drinking in the Neocon Kool Aid)--so, pretending like we've still got arrows in our quiver just makes us look silly.
I think Trump should point out (more explicitly than he already has suggested) that the Neocons provoked this whole thing a la "Ukraine on Fire" out of...well, institutional...and irrational hatreds of Russia and Russians and, in so doing, have completely botched both the assessment and execution of "breaking Russia."
Basically, he should tell the American people what everyone in Russia already knows--that (i) the US no longer has the ability, thanks to Neocon %#$&ery, to force Putin's hand on the demands he clearly articulated right before the war officially began and (ii) the only productive path from here is to work out some cooperative arrangement with Russia that gives the US some benefits that we do not currently have.
Sure, the Neocons (and fellow travelers) can dog Trump for lethally-arming the Ukes during his first term and, thus, contributing to the ensuing tragedy, but I think many would give Trump a pass on a lot of the underhanded Deep State crap going on in the background when he was President.
The Russians are the adults in the room in regard to negotiating a new peace agreement and resolution of the Ukrainian War. They graduated from neocons and a demential patient in Biden to Trumpian Art of the Deal and his newbie lieutenants. They will continue taking the high road and patiently wait for the new Administration to grow up and smell the coffee. I think they also understand that Trump is simultaneously fighting the Deep State internally while also trying to stave off economic and financial disaster leftover from prior malfeasance. So they will cut him some slack while staying the course. An agreement will happen when it happens, and the Crazy will also continue like a fireworks display; occupying people's attention but otherwise disappear into nothingness. Would we like to see more responsible conduct by our leaders? Yes, but Trump's team mostly consists of outsiders and dissidents. They will get their footing soon enough.
I see a lot of criticism of Vance and Hegseth. I get it. But both have acknowledged that the war will end and they are working to that end, even if clumsily. That’s a refreshing change from the warmongers Biden and Blinken and Sullivan.
More evidence Hegseth and Vance aren't ready for prime time?
Hegseth today has said:
1. The decision on whether Ukraine gets nukes is up to Trump.
OK, I get that, but there are times when you should dodge questions, not answer them.
2. Poland is a "model" ally and he would "welcome" having more US troops in Poland.
Guess who would not welcome that and would be enraged? Putin and all Russians. How does making a statement like that help anything at this point? Think of the ramifications of having ANY American troops in Poland, let alone MORE? Time to cut Poland loose and encourage them to find a way to get along with their neighbors.
I can understand, when asked if Trump supported JD Vance as his successor and he did not hesitate to say no. Vance's comments regarding Russia, aimed at Putin, were ignorant and stupid. He demonstrates allegiance to Zionists in those remarks and the attempt to bully Russia suggests he's not ready for global prime time. You can get away with that sort of jingoism in bum phuck Ohio, but not among world leaders who are trained and educated in diplomacy. I am astonished by the arrogance of our political leaders.
It appears that the WSJ deceptively reframed Vance's comments. If it was an op to sow discord and doubt, well, it seems to have worked incredibly well.
Correct. Check out Vance’s fantastic Munich speech to get up to speed on what is really going on here. Vance called Europe’s BS. The broad principles of a Big Deal between Russia and the US are already done, the rest is details. In essence, the deal wrote itself. And now we understand that Kellogg wasn’t Trump stumbling around, Kellogg was a decoy, his “plan” etc. was all fog of war distraction of the Europeans - our true enemy, especially the Brits - as Trump &Co. pretended to care what they thought about literally anything, and all the while the broad outlines of the Big Deal were being confirmed in the deep background. Ukraine will be completely abandoned by the US, zero, nothing, zilch and Russia will get whatever it wants there. Who will stop them? Europe? It’s so clear I don’t know how there are other theories about what is going on here. Everything you hear that is counter to this is intentional distraction, fog, chaos, etc.
Danny Davis is doing a monologue on this whole issue right now. My guess is that Vance misspoke with a domestic--Anglo-Zionist--audience in mind, which shows he's a bit of a newbie on the world stage. As Davis says, the first question that comes to mind, since Vance definitely talks of economic and military "leverage", is: what leverage? Vance's other statements were excellent and had to have been prepared. I'm guessing speaking off the top of his head, impromptu response to a reporter, he reverted to a previous life of some sort.
Yowzer, that's incredible. If I am wrong I always want to admit it right away. Thanks for sending me this. I quit the journal some time ago, and only read it when Kim Strassel's Opinion pieces are brought from out behind the paywall. MSM is dead.

Demon crazy!
How about handing Nuland over to the Russians as a sacrificial war criminal. Win win.

I always saw some of Trump’s action in 1.0 as pure appeasement. These people relentlessly hounded him into actions he was not inclined to take.
