France Seems to have an Undeclared Naval War on Russia

 Apparently it is France that has taken upon itself the task of making clandestine naval war upon Russia. France seems to be the party that has sunk several Russian oil tankers recently, and as of now Russia hasn't attacked French ships or ports in return.

French President Macron has a smaller naval force than Russia yet it is technically modern and sophisticated, including the only European aircraft carrier. It is tempting for rulers of countries with a large, sophisticated military with a technical advantage over an enemy not to use their resources to attack.

Russia of course has several options for counterattacking should it choose to. France obviously is hiding behind the N.A.T.O. shield to engage in war at its pleasure- striking out at a powerful adversary like a cobra- an adversary that doesn't wish to expand the war to include France and potentially N.A.T.O.

The French President Macron seeks to stop Russian oil sales to China and elsewhere that is an important source of cash to fund its war stressed economy. Russia probably will do some kind of cost-benefit analysis to determine if it is a good idea to take out Marseilles and Le Havre's port infrastructures with something like submarine drones or air launched torpedoes with APR-3Es or Murena-300S etc.

The United States will certainly be tested by the new European confidence that it can attack Russian interests with impunity; America cannot be the blaster in a master-blaster Thunderdome relationship without forfeiting moral and political leadership in the relationship of N.A.T.O. treaty obligations. The idea that European nations can attack whoever they want and the United States will defend them if the countries counterattack the European aggressor is not a policy that is desirable or sustainable from an American perspective.

President Macron visited China to speak with Xi Jinping and boast how the Russians will suffer significant financial damage in the near future (from the loss of oil sales revenue). The French having rejoined the N.A.T.O. military command long after the Cold War concluded (in 2009 during the Obama administration) see only advantages in levering the anachronistic treaty that is dangerous for U.S. strategic interests now and down the road. A new international security arrangement will need to be found. The N.A.F.T.A. treaty was renegotiated by President Trump; perhaps a new N.A.T.O. treaty should be found that limits the numbers of members and requires some sort of a rational use of the joint military power such that individual members that first attack another nation, cannot use the treaty for mutual defense to expect mutual defense when they are the aggressor first striking a foreign power, as the French have on Russia.

Europe's Military Attacking Russian Ships Globally

Unknown European powers have started a global wolfpack-style war sinking Russian oil tankers probably with an intention to damage Russian oil sales. Selling oil help Russia pay for its special military operation to recover land lost to the west during the 1991 carpet bagging era following the Soviet collapse.

Russian ships have been sunk in the Black Sea off the coast of Senegal, West Africa in recent days. That escalation to a global battle changes things significantly; risking Russian responses that could be attacks on England, France or Germany- the most likely perpetrators of the expansion of the theater of war.

With Russian military forces making slow, steady progress advancing toward the Dnepro River- a simple demarcation line to end the conflict, the Trump administration has sought to bring both sides to agreement on ending the war, yet the Western powers backing Ukraine have no intention of allowing peace to occur unless it is on their terms. Regardless of the fact that a neutral Ukraine with reduced exterior borders where Russia and the West could resume East-West trade and normal commerce would be best for all concerned, the corruption of Ukraine's government and surreptitious will of the Western European traditional powers to own all of Ukraine and intimidate Russia with military forces on Russia's border such that they support Ukraine's war efforts vociferously have continued the death machine of thousands locked into combat.

Peace with Russia can only occur with international recognition of a reduced Ukraine and Russia recovering its former Ukraine lands and a neutral, demilitarized Ukraine that poses no threat to East or West. Ukraine as the middle ground or borderland should recover quickly enough and prosper from international trade. The alternative of moving further down the road to global disaster is a reprehensible one. If Russia chooses to retaliate by sinking western ships arriving at European ports that alone could begin a collapse of the world economy and swift advance toward nuclear war. One feels that European leadership have their heads up their arses regarding the opportunity cost of pursuing the course of fomenting continued war instead of peace.

It may be that the rampant godless atheist trend of Europe away from faith has naturally brought the leaders to cluster into claves of violence and aggressive expansion Eastward toward Russia. They may feel entitled with natural exuberance such that developing hegemony over Russia and its vast natural resources is their right. U.S. Presidents have not, since the end of the Cold War, perhaps with the exception of President Trump, recalibrated their view and opinion of European military and political increase and unification, They tended to be blind to the implicit dangers of a very large, recrudescent European military that has a history of being the source of all global wars tamed only a little by the devastation of Europe in the two World Wars of the 20th century.

EU Expansion into Ukraine is H.I.V. for U.S. and Global Security

 The European Union is seeking a way to bring Ukraine into the European Union as a non-voting member in order to continue Europe’s eastward economic expansion even as President Trump is seeking to wind down the war in Ukraine. As was understood in the 1990s increasing the size and power of N.A.T.O. would become a threat to RUssia and the United States too as Europe in the absence of the Soviet Union worked at cross- purposes to peace.

Europe does not have a history of peace- quite the opposite. Those living in generations after the Second World War have recently forgotten the lesson that a peaceful Europe was only a response to it's massive destruction eighty years ago. Europe had little choice besides being peaceful as the Soviet Union/Russia and the U.S.A. were victors with massive nuclear weapons stockpiles. Removing the eastward threat and putting N.A.T.O. on steroids elicited a return of the European proclivity for power through force.

The EU quest for power and wealth through war and economic leverage was bound to become in conflict with the United States eventually. When European interests of expansion and escalating to the mythical state of global thermonuclear war run into conflict with American and Russian interests, conflict ensues. Creating a monster size European centered N.A.T.O. was simply organizing a large scale potential future adversary for the United States. It was not good or intelligent policy.

Europe still relies on the United States for nuclear weapons and some defenses against very unlikely military threats from Russia and China. It is very improbable that in a normal circumstance of positive economic and political relations without the Ukraine conflict that Russia or China would think of moving toward an adversarial military posture with Europe. Taiwan is a potential conflict area yet the scale of economic damage to China in that event might be as great as the scale of damage in Ukraine, so China would probably opt for peaceable cooperation with Taiwan and the West as a practical affair. Attacking Europe in the event of an attack on Taiwan is also less than a rational choice for Chinese leadership to make.

Europe though is leveraging the N.A.T.O. relationship to the maximum extent to drift mine its way eastward. The EU and European N.A.T.O. members generally are fanatics about eastward expansion into the former Russian Ukraine and using the power of the UNited States to guarantee the war. Because that war is not in U.S. interests, nor in the interests of global peace and economic progress, in addition to undermining global food, environmental and nuclear security, the EU is like H.I.V. attacking the United States security and economic status globally. Building up that monster E.U. and N.A.T.O nearly inevitably assured that European and American interests eventually would be at loggerheads.

Trump May Advance the World Closer to Nuclear Holocaust Thursday with Liberal Tomahawk Attacks on Russia

 Apparently President Trump is as much of a lunatic for escalating the Ukraine conflict to potential World War Three as former President Biden. Liberal tomahawks attacks on Russia are mad. Tomahawk missiles can be used to deliver nuclear weapons. And with American operators and intelligence launching the weapons into Russia it is not at all unthinkable that Russia may respond with attacks on Europe and the United States. If the attacks are non-nuclear then it is probable that Russian counterattacks would be non-nuclear. If one remembers how flimsy the U.S. economy was demonstrated to be physically after 9-11, President Trumps insane decision to escalate the worth is a bad prospect for a stable, healthy economy for the remainder of his term. 

The question now moves more toward one of; will civilization exist to survive the Trump administration? If the choice is to demure on upgrading the insane conflict continued because the west is unwilling to stop the war by recognizing Russia's political requisites for Ukraine regarding land, security and ending sanctions, there would be hope. President Trump's brain is itself the fuse that can end the war peaceably within a month or continue the Democrat preference to advance a Napoleonic delusion about Russia, Ukraine and history and develop a tighter, closer relation to hell on Earth for humanity.

President Trump Threatens Tomahawk Attacks on Russia in Quest of Peace Deal

 President Trump is threatening to send 1000 miles range Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine if Russia does not agree to a peace settlement. Apparently President Trump does not understand that Russia already wants peace. Russia simply wants security conditions to be met, fair lines to be drawn and obviously for diplomatic recognition of its presently held land in East Ukraine in addition to an end to U.S. sanctions.

President Trump must be aware that Zelensky won’t sign off on a peace deal; instead he wants the war and martial law to continue indefinitely. He is said to be preparing to continue to lower the draft age over the next three years of war and to bring in women too for combat contact. Plainly Zelensky intends to string Trump along until another war mongering sycophant U.S. Democrat Party President can be elected and take office in January 2029.

https://suno.com/s/6Y945xqeiAIgISDW

The disingenuous and illogical parameters President Trump brings to negotiate a peace deal also offers the prospect of U.S. military operators working the Tomahawks to attack Russia since Ukrainians haven’t the training. Threats to bring peace don’t really work in a nuclear era where battle with the power with the most nuclear weapons on the planet is the main adversary. Russia has numerous missiles of its own to counterattack the United States with at some point where American provided and operated missiles have done sufficient damage to make a counter-strike necessary. Tomahawks are nuclear explosive capable making every launch on a Russian city a 50-50 chance of that city's incineration. Russians may tire of giving the west a continuous first nuclear strike opportunity.

Maybe the Congress at least should be required to have a vote-even an advisory, non-binding vote on topics concerning the escalation of conflict to a stage invoking possible nuclear exchange. Presidents Biden and Trump each seemed to lack sufficient reasoning skills to comprehend what can bring peace in Ukraine fairly directly. All that is required for that is for President Trump to end sanctions on Russia and to cease support for Ukraine, and assure President Putin that the U.S. won’t allow Ukraine to join N.A.T.O. President Putin would need to agree to stop the war along the combat contact lines that presently exist.

President Trump has all the cards to stop the war in his hand already. He seems incapable of playing that sort of bold move.

Destruction of Russian Oil Productiom Likely to Benefit China

Ukraine’s continuing destruction of Russian oil refineries is causing shortages and driving up the price of gas to consumers. If Ukrainian drones continue to wreak havoc on Russian oil production it is possible that the Kremlin may seek relief and import hundreds of thousands of Chinese workers and engineers to repair devastated oil infrastructure in exchange for a deal such as a full share of free fuel from fuel production facilities  brought back online.

   If China can get Russian oil and gas for a quarter of the present market cost, that would be a boon for the Chinese economy. It would also reduce the unemployment rate in China

It may slso simulate new deals to build  pipelines across Afghanistan to India in addition to those planned for China.

   While the West drives Russia east in this major realignment of global economics Ukraine is being reduced to rubble, Oreshnik missiles are being deployed to Belarus and President Trump has flip flopped to believe a war against Rusdia in Ukraine can be one. The conflict does continue to escalate toward Worrld War Three.

https://youtu.be/AMyzP1HsIjw?si=IfMepmLQDZyUNal7Jeff Sachs on the War Situation

Macron and Merz; Mini-Napoleon and Mini-Hitler Fear-Mongers?

 Approximately near Poland's eastern border, the 23rd longitude east is a good, non-threatening demarcator for troops from countries once commanded by Napoleon and Hitler. If Merz and Macron would keep their military forces well away from that line or passing beyond the Carpathian mountains Russia should be far less threatened by Western military encroachment. Ukraine is on the Russian side of the Carpathians and is called the borderlands historically, for good reason.

It is disquieting to have the return of militarism with France and Germany after the end of the Cold War. Macron is something like Napoleon and Merz more than a little like Adolph Hitler, yet of course without a semblance of charisma. One might wish they were not aggressive and assertive regarding Ukraine, as they are, as if it is a play-ground for the west and a field testing lab for western military weapons.

I need stipulate that Ukraine is nothing like Formosa/Taiwan strategically. The Communist Chinese might like that island nation with a history of independence to be theirs, yet like the Falkland Island in relation to Argentina, it isn't like to happen except through a slow evolution as China and Taiwan have peaceful and prosperous futures working together. Unification is a possibility though not a necessity.

Alternatively Taiwan is well defended and has good allies. mainland communists are not likely to attempt a military takeover because they would lose Shanghai and Beijing in the process most likely. A major war would perhaps bring half a billion Chinese to the brink of starvation within a couple of months as on-time deliveries of production fail. China has far more to lose than it has to gain with war against a well defended island with strong allies.

Ukraine on the other hand was historically part of Russia and the Soviet Union occupying Russia for hundreds of years, usually, except for a brief interregnum of Germany taking it over. German militarism is always a latent, recrudescent possibility- as is that of France, when they believe the time is opportune. Because President Trump isn't assertive enough publicly in his quest for peace, and not strong or eloquent enough to speak publicly about the proper role of N.A.T.O. with American support in defending Europe, delusional fears about Russia posing a threat to Europe have been present since the Obama administration.

The Cold War 35 years ago yet there were some that continued to fear the Soviets and Russia and sought expansion and takeover of the power vacuum vacated by the Soviets.  Russia obviously would rise in time after reorganization of government and economics from a communist to a free enterprise basis. It would reasonably expect to emerge as the former Russia with most of it's possessions intact- including Ukraine. It did not expect to retake places occupied by the Soviet Red Army during the final years of the Second World War and made part of the East Bloc Warsaw Pact.

The West and the United States are quite well able to defend Europe from a non-existent threat of a Russian assault. It is challenging to envision Russian marine skydivers parachuting from 15,000 feet in numbers sufficient to capture England, or to imagine Russian commandos storming over the Alps any time soon with the skill of General Suvorov in escaping Western forces going over the Alps. It is true that Russians are capable of hitting Poland if the poles were asleep and fearful enough to stay deep in bunkers hoping passing Russian tankers would not notice them yet that seems improbable. Jews at least would put up stiff resistance as they did to the Nazis in the Warsaw ghetto during W.W. 2.

Russian knows that a general war would follow an invasion of Western Europe and that their casualties might exceed those the Nazis inflicted during world war 2- perhaps 20 to 40 million dead, with devastated cities, and the west is aware that nukes might be involved and more than a billion people globally would perish from famine and pestilence such as can exist in a mass produced, interlocked global economic sphere. Russians are not really as stupid as Europeans seem to believe they are. The problem exists in European imagination and the wish to have military power over Russia via Ukraine. It is a major stumbling block for the European leadership psyche apparently. Without European and American support Ukraine would already have returned to being Russian.

It is time now for at least President Trump to be realistic knowing that Europeans and the puppet President of Ukraine Zelensky aren't. Just say know to war and accept the fact that peace is better. The west need trust and welcome Russia fully into the global economy. One day it could be a full part of a tax free American-European-Russian trading block.

The Big Beautiful Boondoggle- Trump Trends

 President Trump has done a good job working many things. It is useful at this point to evaluate a few positions that seem to be causing him trouble.

One is the Bug Beautiful Tax Cut bill that would add 3.8 trillion dollars to national public debt. That definitely is the wrong way to go. It is a big budget busting boondoggle. It isn’t even remotely an ecologically sustainable approach either. President Trump should restore energy credits for non greenhouse gas emitting technologies or at least pursue new ways to reduce greenhouse gassing from the U.S.A. although that seems beyond his capability.

The leaders of both parties don't know what austerity is. The mind set of the prosperous isn't capable of recognizing that the present way of economics is environmentally unsustainable. The system cannot balance a budget and eliminate public debt even by undermining the security of the poor since they haven't got much to take away as it is. Pioneers of the nation could face tough challenges in economics- they had no choice of avoiding them, The trick is to be able to have that pioneer mind set while prosperous and to leverage that prosperity to jump from a melting iceberg form of economic drifting south onto one going in a different direction. Escalating competence in environmental economics may be a talent the prosperous aren't capable that frontiersmen found easy in the foundation of the nation.

Obamacare should be repealed and a national health care system for the poor and lower middle class created with direct provisioning of service by federal employees, The prosperous would be excluded. This really is the cheapest and most humanitarian approach.

Reaganomics had the fatal flaw of creating massive public debt, it was a good way to end the Cold War yet a stupid government always brings those sorts of things back to life. The Zombie war in Ukraine is a result of Clinton era dumb and dumber Russia policy designs.

Forty trillion dollars of public debt is just morally and practically dumb and unsupportable. The war in Ukraine can be wrapped up if President Trump recognizes those Russian free state annexations of the East Bank of the Dnepr, ends sanctions n Russia, and assures neutrality of west Ukraine so far as to make it a non-military threat to Russia. President Trump seems to be willing to kick the can down the road on that however, as he is with his Big Beautiful Boondoggle bill.

Will Russia Grant Ukraine a 30 Day Time-out so it Can Rebuild Its Army and Weapons Supplies Without Worry?

 European Axis leaders met in Ukraine to organize a demand for a 30 Day Time Out from war so the West Ukraine army can have a chance to recover from recent losses on the battlefield. Russia is expected to deny the time out from hostilities anticipating that would increase their casualties when war resumes.

A cease fire is good if it doesn't give advantages to one belligerent side in conflict who would then resume hostilities. It is an unreasonable expectation. President Trump is said to be capitulating to Axis demands for everything Ukraine and may put new sanctions upon Russia to drive the world closer toward nuclear war eventually.

Western Leadership Failed to Adapt to the New Post Cold War Russia

 The military industrial complex of the United States was conditioned for more than a half century to regard Russia as the main adversary. When the Cold War and Soviet Communism ended most of the American establishment failed to adapt to the change and to engage positively with Russia. Fundamentally they transitioned from anti-communism to anti-Russia.

Russia did move toward being a free enterprise country. It largely ended communism although elites and government made property rights rather exclusively. Without heavy western investment in Russia that conditioned worsened in the sanctions era. Even so Russia has one of the lowest corporate tax rates in the world.

Russians and communists are different. There is no reason to regard Russians differently from anyone else when the communist burden is removed and continues. Russia sought to reform its society, create an income tax (the Ukraine war helped with that as it did Abraham Lincoln during the U.S. Civil War). And establish institutions including government for a democratic society. With N.A.T.O. expanding eastward and the loss of Its Ukraine properties and hegemony over Ukraine the development of democracy in Russia was put on hold. War loomed with the west. Russia looked to its former communist brother in arms China for help and found China more than willing to move their relationship closer since China wanted to keep communist supervision and authority over its partially market oriented society.

The failure for western leadership to adapt after the Cold War to the new Russian political reality is costly. Toynbee observed the challenge and response nature of leadership of civilizations. Toynbee could have included adaptation in his formula paradigm as well. The west in effect has driven Russia closer to China, and has strengthen Chinese leadership because the west refused to adapt to recognition of Russia as a worthy, friendly potential fellow travelers in freedom, free enterprise and national security, Since Russia is not fascist or communist the de facto position of western leadership to Russia is racist (reductio).

The failure of American leadership to adapt to the new Russia (with some notable exceptions like Donald Trump) may cost the west dearly as it

Don't Be Surprised if Zelensky Attacks Moscow May 9th

 Just so people won't be surprised that aren't following the war, Ukraine Martial Law President Zelensky is planning an attack on May the 9th to soil Russia's World War Two Victory parade on 9 May. President Trump could only suspend U.S. Intelligence and support to Ukraine to defrappe the likely attack.

President Trump apparently doesn't understand that Ukraine's war leader who has plans to bring women, young and old people (over 60) into battle readiness is simply playing him for time. He utilizes the 'how do you keep a Turkey in suspense comedic tactic'  to stall for time to let Europe and N.A.T.O. members have time to resupply Ukraine with weapons. 

Sweden for example is sending a pair of flying radar platforms and other jet fighters to let Ukraine coordinate better against Russia offensively and defensively. Zelensky already has U.S. supplied HIMARS and ATACMS that have ranges of a couple hundred miles more or less, Patriot missiles etc. Zelensky hopes to continue the war as long as possible and to bring the world to war if necessary to keep from needing to concede any land already lost to the Russian reconquista.

Zelensky has developed Neptune cruise missiles (a pagan name choice) that is launched from an advanced location might be able to close the 600 miles from Ukraine to Moscow. The Ukraine air force has F-16s that could launch Taurus KEPD 350 cruise missiles supplied by Germany or Sweden if they surreptitiously supplied Zelensky with several. Britain has said they would supply Ukraine with Storm Shadow missiles. Several weapons systems exist for F-16 that can travel more than 300 miles. So a jet flying low protected by Swedish radar might get close enough to launch a few ground hugging cruise missiles.

The question is how Russia would respond? They could nuke Kiev and Stockholm yet that probably isn't in the cards to play yet. Zelensky hopes to provoke Russia into retaliating in a way that will invoke a N.A.T.O. treaty response including that of the United States. That is why I wrote this post; so a few people would be aware of the lunacy of the European Ukraine war situation and to be squared away in case civilization ends after a global nuclear conflict May 9th-12th.

So long as President Trump support Ukraine militarily in any way Mr. Zelensky and European N.A.T.O. members will continue to press forward. The obvious realistic way to end the war is for the U.S. to quit supplying anything military to Ukraine, to stop negotiating with Ukraine, and let the war play out. President Trump could let it be known that he would resume a negotiating role if Ukraine agrees to several stipulations that Russia would be happy to accept, and then a cease fire could be implemented. It only takes one bad judgment or mistake to cascade World War Three into blossoming. One of the bold new N.A.T.O. members leaping to sustain and elevate the conflict militarily- like Sweden, or even old members like England liking the power of driving the Russians back farther east and using the U.S. in a Master-Blaster way to further British interests, could misunderestimate its position and Russian response and spark the fire of nuclear holocaust. Russian might tend toward overestimating the U.S. and N.A.T.O. response to a decision it makes to retailiate against some N.A.T.O. member for sending missiles to punish a weapons and intelligence supplier because if N.A.T.O. gets involved that does mean nuclear war. N.A.T.O. seems badly structured for preventing nuclear war. It was better at fighting some NAZI-style invasion without facing an adversary loaded with nuclear weapons. It is not surprising that the Cold War 1.0 ended peacefully since there was no rational alternative. Modern N.A.T.O. swells forgot the lessons of history that allowed the survival of global civilization.

President Trump did get a minor official under Zelensky to sign off on a Ukrainian minerals deal. Yet that could be fools gold since the U.S. probably would be required to defend the mines as Russia is on the verge of capturing them-especially around the City of Pokrovsk. So Zelensky played Trump into supporting him militarily in exchange for a mess of pottage in effect, since the mines were to be lost anyway. The contract says that the United Stated could get some money after ten years and if the Ukraine Congress approves it, maybe.

The Brits are spinning the deal as a move for peace. In other words it puts the U.S. in a position of being on the front line of a war to defend financial interests. It was maladroit timing. If that works out positively I will be quite surprised.  Ukraine announced victory in the battle for Pokrovsk several hours ago. That must be because the U.S. decided to get involved there. In fact the Russians are closing in around Pokrovsk forming a giant, methodical effective encirclement starting with advancing closer and cutting off supply roads etc.

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-minerals-deal-ukraine-russia-b2742685.html

The minerals deal should never have occurred because it is one of those escalations of a conflict through the greed of a third party. Perhaps President Trump becomes myopic when money is concerned. Of course it would be good if Ukraine could repay the hundreds of billions it got from U.S. to support its war with Russia. The war though is more than about money or even land; it is about Europe's will to have power and hegemony over Eurasia and it could well reach the point of the final war of civilization. There is no clever deal that will solve the problem.

Zelenskyy Saps Peace Talks- Continues Post-Birth Adult Abortion Services (war) for Ukraine

 Ukrainian marshal law President for war Zelenskyy sapped the London Peace talks to end the Ukraine-Russia war. He prefers more ‘pressure’ to force Russia to accept his own terms. Those terms basically are that Russia retreat to the 1991 boundaries that existed when the internal ‘states’ of the former Soviet Evil Empire declared independence in the absence of a ruling authority in Moscow.

Those boundaries were inventions of the Soviet communist leadership that served political purposes. Even Jews were given a small ‘reservation’ in Siberia. Plainly the Russian Federation would never accept the shrinkage of Russia to the much smaller boundaries the Communists had set. Because it was mostly historians who recognized the fact that a future war of Russia to recover its lost ground would develop without correction, the tragedy of vacuous western European leadership failing to recognize the problem and adjust the Russian areas in Ukraine as part of the Russian Federation let millions of casualties occur in a senseless conflict that President-while-marshal-law-exists Zelenskyy seeks to continue with full western backing.

https://news.sky.com/story/ukraine-war-london-peace-talks-downgraded-as-kyiv-rejects-us-plan-to-recognise-crimea-as-russian-13354011

It was only the vast left-wing military support of the Biden administration that enabled the Ukraine to de frappe the Russian reconquista of part of Ukraine and Crimea that began in 2014. Although Mr. Zelensky as an experienced comedic actor can tolerate the accretion of a couple hundred thousand more Ukrainian military and civil deaths in 2025-26 to continue the war instead of cutting Ukraine’s losses and establishing a solid peace- in time the significance of the new Russia-Ukraine border would fade into insignificance with free trade and good relations- Ukraine seems likely to be in a worse position in several months than it presently is.

For Moscow’s part it too would be in their interests to seek a peace that recognizes the west’s unwillingness to allow Russian expansion westward beyond the Dnipro to occur. Historical illiteracy, paranoia and greed have brought the west to believe that the Baltic states and Poland- even Finland are objects of Russian Federation plans of conquest.

Realpolitik should recognize a final status of Russian annexation of any Ukraine land it possesses to the east of the Dnipro, free navigation of the Dnipro by all nations, that Ukraine cannot be part of N.A.T.O. and that Ukraine’s 800,000 man Army is reduced to fewer than 250,000 soldiers for a period of twenty years. Russia should proceed to establish tax free zones along the Ukraine-Russia border to encourage civil investment and business development preferably along ecological economic lines. It could also guarantee the peace of Ukraine itself in some innovative way that assures Ukraine that it will not resume war if Ukraine seems less of a military opponent.

The west probably does need to have some military security concerns in Ukraine to monitor the development of peaceful reconstruction. Perhaps 50,000 soldiers located on bases as were garrisoned in post W.W. 2 Germany could be set around Ukraine for twenty years yet not as a border force on a DMZ. Ukraine could join the E.U. in order to expedite its recovery from the war. Relations with Russia should be normalized by the E.U. as part of the peace settlement to reassure Russia that the west is not just tricking it so Ukraine can have a better chance to reload militarily and counterattack again.

The United States might consider pressuring Ukraine and Marshal Law President Zelenskyy to accept a realistic peace settlement by stopping providing military intelligence to Ukraine until it does, as well as a halt to all military and economic aid until the U.S. federal budget is balanced.

Macron Moves France Towards War with Russia

French President Macron took a big step toward the destruction of Europe through nuclear war with Russia. He has said that Russia is a threat and need be pacified- apparently meaning rendered harmless and without weapons or missiles. Macron is organizing upgrades to the Ukraine conflict placing France on a path to direct war with Russia. Perhaps he can do better than Napoleon did in failing to capture Moscow.

One might keep in mind that Macron’s blimpistry occurs against a backdrop where France quit N.A.T.O. before the Soviet Union faded away. The French may have wanted to seem harmless in the hope that the Soviets would not nuke them.

https://theconversation.com/french-nuclear-deterrence-for-europe-how-effective-could-it-be-against-russia-251512#:~:text=French%20nuclear%20deterrence%20against%20the%20Russian%20threat&text=But%20the%20fact%20remains%20that,warheads%20on%20the%20Russian%20side

Europeans are functionally insane in regard to war on their continental portion, history informs us. At some point fighting against invasions from Asia and Africa, Europeans had legitimate reasons for conflict with external threat vectors, yet Russia is not an outside threat vector in regard to the Ukraine. Among themselves the dynamics of European political power brought them to war against themselves interminably; it was only with the nearly complete destruction of Europe in the Nazi war- the Second World War, that Europe became generally pacified for several decades. Europe was broken and military depleted.

The rise of American and Russian/Soviet nuclear powers rendered Europe impotent; they were compelled to rebuild in peace and develop a new prosperity with comparatively small military spending. Opportunities for world conquering were set back. Political egos smoldered forced to await a future when wars for global conquest could resume. Then Russia/the Soviet Union opted for peace, freed Eastern Europe and peace should have developed.

https://eadaily.com/en/news/2025/03/05/macron-intends-to-pacify-russia-france-calls-for-chiefs-of-staff

Besides the war on terror and a brief Balkans post-communist adjustment war peace continued. Maladjustment of the post-Soviet reapportionment of political entities created conflicts and the potential for the Ukraine war, yet peace prevailed. Europe then became the EU and N.A.T. O. Expanded eastward as if Russia was some kind of threat. That breaking of trust and taking advantage of Russian weakness after the end of the Soviet Union to expand N.A.T.O. was a direct cause of the present conflict. A rearmed Europe finds itself in a position to flex its strength and bring the world to the brink of nuclear war because ts leadership is replete with historically runty malcontents and agitators striving to outdo one another with militancy toward Russia.

https://www.udio.com/songs/m2Ew6wpxksuzVEJ9dXTTju

France and Europeans would like to be the big dog of politics again. In 2020 the French Army had 118,000 members and not all of those were combat soldiers. Europeans have experienced weak U.S. leadership in the Biden, Obama and Clinton administrations that was too Eurocentric. They may have believed that with the end of the Soviet Union and reunification of Germany that Russian power had vanished forever and Russian nuclear weapons power would disappear. That latter point was a delusion.

Macron will need to adjust to the fact that Russia has 5,580 nuclear weapons and France something like 290. Russia is not going away and France will not be the planet’s big dog. Europe rather than butting their heads into a concrete wall need adjust to reality and accept that peace is again going to be forced upon them; this time before they bring about a global world war.

President Trump on the other hand has sought to neutralize European lunacy in regard to Russia.

The rapid progress with the Trump administration toward renormalizing relations with Russia and ending the Ukraine War occurs in an interesting historical paradigm that John Meirsheimer reviewed in a video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKjFD9fPQxg

Some have nominated former Assistant Sect. Of State Victoria Nuland for the designer of Joe Biden Ukraine policy yet I think that is an inadequate place to lay the blame. Bureaucrats may be a focal point or catch basin for social forces desiring policy directions yet they for-themselves couldn’t bring powerful disagreeing parties like the military industrial complex to support those or other policies they felt were counterproductive to profit although they might comply if required by the chief executive. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria_Nuland

Other have reported that the reason for the meeting in DC of President Macron and P.R. Starmer were to hand off supervisory custody of President Zelensky to the C.I.A. Apparently France was given custody by outgoing President Biden in order to prevent the Trump administration C.I.A. from gaining access to information that might be deleterious for the members of the Biden administration.

New Hitler and Napoleon Consider Three Quarter Trillion Euro War Supply for Ukraine

Germany has an election tomorrow and may elect a war monger lusting for conflict with Russia. He is backed up by a French President with a Napoleonic point of view on Eastward expansion. Together they imagine a new rearmed European military able to develop hegemony over Russia in Ukraine. Establishing a permanent state of hostility with Russia gazing like hillbillies at one another pointing long guns over a DMZ is the future they imagine. Apparently rare earth minerals in Ukraine are the bone of contention.

Valuable minerals worth trillions are a sticking point in finding peace. Europe, Russia, the Ukraine and the USA want them. Willingness of the EU to risk world war three over the conflict may force America’s hand. In order not to be included as a nuclear target when the war escalated to nuclear the USA may need to quit N.A.T.O. and form a new alliance with Russia.

The EU would not diss President Trump and increase hostility with Russia if the United States was not obligated by treaty to defend N.A.T.zo. members if they are attacked  Since European leaders are leveraging that treaty to hate on peace and Russia as well as to potentially draw the USA into actualizing M.A.D. policy the United States should quit being a treaty member of the vast left,-wing open air lunatic asylum that is the EU.

The United States had to fight Germany twice in the past 110 years. It is possible that one day there may be a third war with that nation.

EU considers historic € 700 billion aid package for Ukraine as Trump signals reduction in Kyiv’s support

Zelensky Seeks to Make a European Army Threat to the United States

 Ukraine President Zelensky is agitating to make Europe an enemy of the United States. Entirely thankless for the hundreds of billions of dollars of U.S. military and financial support the last several years he said at the Munich conference that he wants Europe to create its own army to defend itself because Europe may have policies ahead that conflict with those of the United States. Sounding somewhat like Hitler on the far right he seeks a militarization of Europe to counter what he understandably regards as a Russian threat.

Russia though, for realists, is simply recovering land it lost at the end of the Cold War 1.0 when the west divvied up the former Soviet Union. It seemed a time for new carpet bagging and Russia lost all of the Ukraine in the process. Realpolitik would always have been willing to concede half of the Ukraine to Russia and get on with regular political and economic partnership,

Zelensk’s approach to making the United States an enemy of Europe as soon as it quit sending hum hundreds of billions of dollars is a logical move toward reducing America’s standing in the world. Zelensky would like to divide and isolate the United States while creating a powerful Europe that would at any rate eventually normalize relations with the great Russia-China superpower partnership because they are located in Eurasia.

Zelensky’s desire to form a large European Army conflicts prima facie wit the present N.A.T.O. military. Presumably Zelensky would sever N.A.T.O. from its relationship with the United States and convert it into a European fascist refoundation suitable for war against Russia, China and the United States with himself as Fuhrer. Poland and Ukraine perhaps imagine themselves as a European superpower able to rule the former N.A.T.O. new fascist army.

Former President Biden’s lunatic policies of support for Ukraine cost the United States economically and damaged America’s economic position in the world. The BRIC nations are powerful competition for American production in all phases of industrial and technical production for what may be a divided world with the United States holding on to the short end of the stick.

The best tactic for the United States is to renormalize relations with Russia as quickly as possible and settle the Ukraine conflict with boundaries roughly along the Dnipro River. The U.S.A. can buy rare earth minerals from Russia if it needs to. America needs to be as god or better of a partner with Russia as is China if it wants to end up not being the odd man out facing a Euro Army Russia today. Russia is a threat of convenience for globalist lunatic war mongering politicians seeking power. Europeans should know that they can get far more through peace than they ever will through pursuit of conflict with the Russia-China proto super-state alliance.

Sanction Europe on LNG Until It Ends Hostilities With Russia

Joe Biden has done everything he can to stop President Trump from bringing an end to the Ukraine-Russia war. He has arranged for war to continue through the next Presidential election in 2028 if possible. N.A.T.O. members will take up the slack if Trump stops sending weapons to Ukraine.

One shouldn't underestimate Europe's will to make self-destructive political choices; they are idiots rather than peace makers or pragmatists  As at the end of WW 2 the USA will need to take the retards under it's armpit and lead it to prosperity and health while the mutt resists the bath.

Old Europe and N.A.T.O. is composed of numerous small, formerly imperial nations that sought global colonies. After Bill Clinton it began to expand in number growing to become somewhat of a monster in size. It is as if dozens of Chihuahuas could unite to become a big dog with the fierceness of a chihuahua. The dog yet has multiple personalities; some in paranoia, some with imperial ambition, and has become a potential threat to the United States directly and indirectly.  perpetrating further conflict with Russia may incite World War Three. Joe Biden has trained N.A.T.O. to expect the U.S.A. to be Europe's bimbo/lesbo enforcer doing its bidding. Americans in the media would go along with further war against Russia until the world is incinerated so they could appear to be patriotic in sycophancy with imperial ambitions.

   President Trump will need to negotiate with Europe simultaneously with Russia and Ukraine to stop the war. N.A.T.O. will seek to create a Gulf of Tonkin Resolution circumstance to force a full N.A.T.O. attack including the U.S.A. on Russia before a peace settlement is made. Peace should be a 50-50 value division of Ukraine with Russia, an end to tariffs and sanctions on both countries and reconstruction of Ukraine paid for by England, France and Germany.

  There should be a tax free DMZ along the shared border that is five miles wide to encourage trade and catalyze reconstruction. Sanctions should be placed on N.A.T.O.embers in Europe so they don’t receive U.S. fuel supplies or natural gas until they end hostilities with Russia. The world needs peace now and a recovering economy morphing into environmental economy for a more verdant planet.

The West and Russia Need to Share Ukraine

Germans and Poles have fought with Russia over Ukraine for hundreds of years. For most of history Ukraine was Russian. Communist revolutionaries are the middle term that Democrats believe makes Ukraine not Russian. They are wrong about that. Sharing Ukraine with the west is a good deal for the west. Crimea though is Russia's Florida. Any intelligent human and maybe some chimps would know Russia would never give it up.
