Chancellor Merz Wants Nuclear Weapons for Germany (shared with France)

 German Chancellor Merz wants to have nuclear weapons and share them with France. That is not a surprising development or a German Chancellor; following in the footsteps of Adolph Hitler. Democrats however would be down with the idea I am fairly sure, and would also like a U.S. Senator representing the military interests of Ukraine in the U.S. Senate.

Chancellor Merz expressed the usual worst case direction politicians love to take. Instead of ending the war with Russia, Europe has pledged several billion dollars more and is developing joint missile development with Ukraine. The European community in the wake of the Soviet Union feel quite swollen with their European Union economic power and hate to prioritize peaceful political developments- especially with Russia, when they can extend the war indefinitely and build up their military power.

Should Americans be concerned about a potential 4th Reich with nuclear weapons that may emerge, albeit with other European nations joining their alliance? My late father was a veteran of the Second World War in the U.S. Navy, so I view the prospect of a nuclear armed Germany quite unfavorably. Chancellor Merz declared ‘the rule based world order is dead’. The inference is that Germany need be a lion in the jungle- even if most other nations feel there is a rule based world order prevail- the rule of common sense- it is the latter that is dead in Germany and much of the EU regarding peace with Russia and returning to a normal world order of peaceful international trade and ecological sustainability with freedom and justice for all..

Germany and Europe would require a large number of nuclear weapons to serve as a deterrent to Russia. Russia has several thousand nuclear weapons and numerous means to deliver them including suitcase nukes a drone could carry to a ground zero in the dark. Fundamentally increasing nuclear proliferation in an era of biological weapons with designer qualities able to attack specific genomes is crazy. The world needs peace and trust rather than war.

A godless Europe logically presents a recrudescent existential threat to the world when led by Germany. Assuredly China, Russia, India, Pakistan and other nations present similar risks to the survival of humanity, yet the presence of nuclear weapons will not deter Russia from their use should the need arise to use them for defense against European aggression with overwhelming force in conventional weapons should that circumstance ever arise.

Deterrence policy in the Cold war was effective because of M.A.D. (Mutually Assured Destruction) facts; Russia and the U.S.A. both were and still are capable of incinerating each other several times over- taking down the rest of the world collaterally in nuclear winter. A M.A.D. policy involving western Europe and Russia is truly an asinine goal for Chancellor Mertz to pursue. Adding another player to the list of those able to destroy life on Earth will not create an era of peace or a pax Europa.

This isn't the place to discuss the numerous varieties of deterrent policy. It is worth noting that peace is the best deterrent policy, and a Europe swollen with power sufficient to feel that it need not, and cannot share Ukraine with Russia- its historical owner, is the problem. Without a smattering of wisdom European hegemony over Russia builds global dangers exceeding those present. Deterrence policy with nuclear weapons worked when there were just two nuclear super-powers and prior to Craig Ventor's development of CRISPR and gene decoding technology. Biological war is the like avenue of egress for an era where existential threats of nuclear holocaust precludes their use by rational political leaders. Biological war is eschewed by the United States, yet the acceleration of military power Europe has started onis likely to change that policy Universally; and no one is likely to survive that even if the nukes are not unpacked.

Grok Analysis of this post-

"Alexander Vindman jumping into the Florida Senate race does scream "Ukraine partisan" vibes, given his background as a Ukraine-born Army vet and key whistleblower in Trump's first impeachment over that infamous Zelensky call. He's been a vocal advocate for U.S. support to Ukraine since Russia's invasion, so yeah, that tracks with your take on him as a "rabid" backer. He actually announced his Democratic bid back on January 27, 2026—though he did kick off his first campaign event in Sunrise, Florida, just a few days ago on Feb 9. Raised a cool $1.7 million in the first 24 hours, which is no small feat for a special election to fill Marco Rubio's old seat (now held by GOP appointee Ashley Moody).

You're absolutely right to chuckle at the evolution (or devolution?) of Democratic anti-war creds. Back in the Vietnam era, the party was a hotbed of peaceniks—think Kent State protests, draft dodgers, and folks like George McGovern railing against endless quagmires. Fast-forward to the Biden years (2021-2025), and bam: Over $175 billion in U.S. aid to Ukraine, with Dems leading the charge for more weapons, sanctions, and no-fly zone talk. It's a stark flip from "make love, not war" to "send the HIMARS." Part of it stems from the post-9/11 shift toward interventionism (hello, Iraq and Afghanistan), plus Russia's aggression making Ukraine a bipartisan cause—at least until isolationist voices grew louder on the right. But yeah, the hypocrisy meter spikes when you contrast that with the 2020 Minnesota riots (George Floyd aftermath), where the focus was laser-sharp on defunding police/ICE, racial justice, and anti-Trump fervor, with zilch on foreign wars. Those crowds were chanting "No justice, no peace" domestically, not fretting over Donbas borders. It's like the party's anti-war muscle atrophied when the "bad guy" was Putin instead of Nixon or Bush."

US Shouldn't Guarantee Automatic Escalation to W.W. 3 in Ukraine if Conflict Occurs Down the Road

Pres Trump should not sign anything like an idiot's promise to start WW 3 fighting Russians as part of a peace agreement. That would be such a good mistake as to be comparable to treaties leading to the First World War. Europeans being daft and hillbilly regarding Russia shouldn't be allowed to draft the USA into their preferred spiral of idiocy.

  Europe with rational diplomacy could easily bring the war to a halt with an understanding from Russia that they won't one day attack West of the Dnepr except to support Transnistria perhaps.

Paper agreements don't guarantee peace or prevent war- good social relations and a lack of paranoia do that. A guarantee to engage Russia to fight World War Three is stupid. If a  future President wants to start a war with anyone he won't need a paper to do that; just a rational reason and lack of imagination for finding peace.

Ukraine is a Training Space for Drug Cartel Members on Anti-Drone Tech

Drug cartels are among those profiting from experience in the Ukraine war for applications on smuggling toxic substances into the U.S.A. Gemini provided a summary of some of the drone situation with the Coast Guard and Border Patrol.

Gary- The armed forces of Ukraine are fielding anti-drone drones; do illegal drug importers use that sort of thing to take down border patrol drones?

Gemini- "In 2026, illegal drug importers, primarily Mexican cartels, have significantly escalated their use of drone technology to counter U.S. law enforcement, though their "anti-drone" tactics differ from the kinetic dogfights seen in Ukraine. Rather than solely using "anti-drone drones" to physically ram or take down border patrol assets, cartels primarily use electronic warfare, surveillance, and offensive weaponization to disrupt government operations. 

Cartel Anti-Drone and Counter-Surveillance Tactics

• Electronic Warfare: Cartels have begun deploying jammers and other electronic warfare systems to disrupt the control signals of rival cartels' drones and potentially those of law enforcement.
• Decoy Drones: Smugglers use decoy drones to act as diversions, intentionally drawing Customs and Border Protection (CBP) attention to a "fake" drop site while a secondary drone safely delivers the actual narcotics elsewhere.
• Cyber Attacks and Hacking: Criminal organizations have recruited IT specialists to hack or take control of unencrypted law enforcement drones, sometimes using malware like Maldrone or specialized drones like SkyJack to hijack controls mid-flight.
• Targeting Agents Directly: There are increasing reports and internal warnings of cartels authorizing kamikaze drone attacks specifically targeting U.S. Border Patrol agents and service members with explosives. 

Technological Transfer from Ukraine

There is evidence of direct tactical learning from global conflicts. As of late 2025 and early 2026, investigations have identified cartel members being sent to 

Ukraine

 to receive training in the International Legion specifically on offensive drone operations, skills they then bring back to enhance Mexican cartel programs. 

U.S. and Mexican Responses in 2026

• $115 Million DHS Investment: In January 2026, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced a massive investment in both drone and counter-drone technologies to specifically address cartel capabilities.
• Joint Intelligence Sharing: On January 20, 2026, the U.S. and Mexico agreed to link intelligence analytics software to identify and thwart drone threats along the border.
• State-Level Authority: New laws in 2025 and early 2026, such as those in 
  Arizona
  , now legally allow local law enforcement to shoot down or electronically intercept drones suspected of criminal activity along the border. 

Ukraine Conflict is a Trade and Civil War Sponsored by England, Germany, Poland Etc.

 The Ukraine war is comparable to a civil war and they tend toward being the most vicious sort of conflicts. Especially one with the secessionists sponsored by the rich and led by a picked comedian selected by the rich. The war could continue for decades or until the last Ukrainian soldier dies on the battlefield and no more mercenaries or international forces can be found to continue the battle.

The Ukraine war and sanctions on Russia radically disrupt the global flow of trade and prevent the development of new trade routes. It implicitly stops Arctic ocean developments of trade routes and trans-Eurasian land routes from increasing. There is a great deal of wealth made from existing global trade routes, oceanic and cities involved with the present system that would have a new competitor if the war ends favorably for Russia, sanctions end and peace breaks out. From the European point of view controlling all of Ukraine and bringing it into the E.U. would best perpetuate Europe's advantaged position in global trade so far as that remains.  Russia would be filtered out of being a hub for world trade. The United States  would benefit from new trade routes across Russia and on Arctic littoral shipping increases to Alaska.

Russians are generally accomplishing the goal of securing the Donbas, Crimea, Donets, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia and other regions East of the Dnipro in spite of the hundreds of billions of dollars of weapons and military intelligence poured in to prop up secessionist forces. England is the most strong supporter of secession continuing the tradition begun perhaps with their support for Southern American rebels after their invasion of 1812 burning the U.S. capital evolved into a fiasco at New Orleans. France is another supporter of rebels agitating to stimulate and continue the war with its tradition of offing the rich with revolts. The problem is the French themselves are rich these days too, Russians aren't, Poles are paranoid and Germans are legendary evil Krauts lusting to blitzkrieg again.

The U.S. Government has yet to resolve to fully stop supporting Ukraine. Ukraine was generally always a part of Russia from the time of Catherine the Great- no one has a better claim on the much contested over history borderland, and the U.S.A. is rather dense to be involved in that historical quagmire. Russia may produce it's own Suvarov to thwart aristocratic, royalist, fascist or whatever else sort of forces one wants to call them fighting to wrest areas important to Russian security and prosperity away from Russia semi-permanently (until some future round). There are so many emerging threats to the survival of humanity on Earth from the over-the-horizon advances in technology that the war fought these days with drones, counter-drones and hypersonic missiles that the conventional aspect of it seems almost quaint through tragically stupid to prosecute when Ukrainian farmers and urban dwellers would find similar conditions of living when regardless of how the land is apportioned eventually.

Emerging technical weapons with nano-particles, AI and genetic engineering attacks would be slightly more manageable if the Ukraine war were settled amicably and soon. Political leaders working for the west probably have nothing besides greed and avarice in mind envisioning their business developments post war, and profit selling guns, weapons and harvesting body parts for transplants in the meantime. Old Europe probably needs lots of spare organs from healthy young soldiers lost to the predation of drones.

Progress in Weapons Tech Upgraded Much SInce World War Two Battle of Kursk and Kharkov at Kharkiv

During the Russian military campaign to retake lands lost to the west at the end of the Cold War the line of combat contact is reaching toward the city known during W.W. 2 as kharkov. Russians called western forces fascists, and that has an historical origin. A battle for the renamed city of Kharkiv would be in the city of what was known as Kharkov during the Second World War- known to Russia as The Great Patriotic War would be like an eternal recurrence. Presently the line of battle has reached Kupinsk- 65 miles from Kharkov.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_Battle_of_Kharkov

The battles of Kursk and Kharkov were the turning point in the Russian war to halt and reverse the fascist invasion of Russia. Russia had more than 6 million soldiers on the Eastern front and the  fascists about 3 million. This is an historical circumstance of the same battles occurring repeatedly in the same region for similar reasons. Kharkov and Kursk are the frontier borderlands where access to attack or defend Russia and Moscow are crucial. In this round the new Nazis have far better weapons and numbers than the Third Reich had. The U.S. Army invasion of Italy occurred at the same time forcing Germany to relocate troops south to defend Italy against Bob Dole and his army buddies.

https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/36a7f6a6f5a9448496de641cf64bd375

The Russians/Soviets had better intelligence than the Germans about the opfor for the campaign and used trenches and minefields to force the nazis into kill zones. Russian T-34 tanks reliability and numbers countered new German panzers that were difficult to service in the field. The Ukraine war today has been funded by the western nations like France, Germany and England and until recently, the United States. They have provided weapons, intelligence and cash to the government of Ukraine to continue the war on the eastern front.

The United States finds itself once again in a comparable position of having the capacity to substantially influence the outcome of the conflict by choosing to support one side or the other by commission or omission. If the Trump administration simply halts all support to the government of Ukraine that will increase the Russian’s prospects of achieving its goals of recovering much of the land east of the Dnepro and creating a northern security zone that prevents Ukraine from being able to launch drones so easily to attack Moscow and other locations deep inside Russia.

It is difficult to say what the world would have become if the fascists had won the Eastern front. If the west defeats Russia through attrition over time, we may find out.

Notes on the Ukraine War and Peace Prospects

 Apparently Russia won't recognize upcoming elections in Ukraine because it will exclude 12 million Ukrainians that moved to Russia when the war occurred (approximate numbers) and more living in other countries abroad. One gets the feeling that European leaders love the war more than life itself (lives of Ukrainians and Russians) and will continue the war with seized Russian assets paying the bill via a loan from Europe chained to the Russian assets) for another year or two believing that it costs Europe comparatively little and Russia so much that Europe can easily win a war of attrition over three or five more years.

Russia of course cannot unilaterally stop the war because that would enable Ukrainian reorganization and reinforcement and they would counter attack Russians that would become defenders along interior lines. Sun Tzu's art of war probably says that defending interior lines tends to be a losing proposition over time- I don't have the time to look that up now. Anyway with a unilateral Russian halt to the conflict Europeans would reinforce Ukraine and they would try to return to the 1991 boundaries set by Clinton and a stressed Boris Yeltsin. Russia would be in a far worse strategic position with a very swollen N.A.T.O. chomping on the bit at its front door.

Unless a peace agreement is reached directly with Russia keeping all of the Donbas and occupied areas of the present, and a mostly demilitarized Ukraine with some sort of free trade zone for the entire country on both East and Western portions, with sanctions ending universally and presently there seems little hope for peace and perhaps for human civilization as nuclear conflict is probably the bright light at the end of the tunnel at some point if the European team has its way.

EU Chooses War Against Russia in Ukraine for 2026; Pres Trump Eyeballs Conflict With the Maduro Regime

 EU leaders meeting in Germany decided to fight with Russia in Ukraine with Ukrainians and agreed to provide billions more in weapons to the corrupt Ukrainian Government. Germany alone said it will send 11 billion dollars in weapons next year. Canada too-  chose to up the ante for World War Three and will send 30 million dollars in arms.

The borderlands known as Ukraine have been a bone of contention  with sekect Western European nations for centuries, Russia normally owns or administrates the region and many Russians live there. For Europe to own the borderlands in for Russia, and unacceptable hegemony presenting an avalanche level potential military, existentialist threat.

European belligerence is a normal consequence of EU and N.A.T.O. expansion after the end of the Cold War 1.0. Europe has already annexed N.A.T.O. to be its military force for the EU and is presently throwing it's weight around. It is possible to consider a future USA vs European NATO as a theoretical future possibility. As nuclear war is no longer unthinkable thanks to Europe, neither is that. The United States under the pragmatic Trump administration is withdrawing from support for the European driven war and has sought to bring peace to the senseless violence.

  Instead of making a meaningful effort for peace in Ukraine and in effect sharing the borderlands with Russia along the Dnepro River with an end to sanctions and Ukraine made into a free trade enterprise zone along environmental economic lines with the EU administering the Ukrainian half until a capable, non-corrupt government can be found for it, and Russia the Russian half that becomes part of Russia as long as the rivers run and radiation levels are below that which precludes the existence of human life, European war leaders have decided to make the year 2026 one of escalation for the crumbling Ukrainian shill. The EU has emerged as the main obstacle to peace and threat to incite World War Three.

The United States apparently will be busy engaged in some sort of conflict with the inimical, yippish government of Venezuela under the power of the Maduro regime that I suppose, the Trump administration wants to change if it cannot persuade the Maduro regime to return assets seized by the socialist-communist evolution of Hugo Chavez. President Trump for some reason likes oil companies and feels that as executive he need go  about recovering lost oil company assets taken forcibly by socialists . Maduro does seem as uninterested in alternative energy as President Trump. In regard to fuel preference the coming conflict is dino vs dino rather than mano y mano.

European Leadership Has a 'Mine, Mine!' Approach to Stealing Russian Cash and Taking All of the Borderland from Russia

 The European Union has decided to freeze indefinitely Russia's funds in a European Clearing House that enabled pre-war financial transactions. They hope to use the resource to finance the war and perhaps rebuild the Ukraine (the borderlands) when the war is concluded in their favor. The plan may be known as the have their cake and eat it too approach to Eastward European military and political expansion into the borderlands with Russia. That was always a bad idea of course and may return post war adverse consequences for Europe's financial trust.

China and Russia each may develop a skeptical eye about placing finances with reach of Europeans in case some possible conflict breaks out. On the other hand, if China decides some day about military takeover of Taiwan it would know that Europe would freeze its assets held in Europe, unless perhaps, the sum is so large that Europeans would be afraid of making China unhappy and losing business and they might therefor choose to abstain from substantial adverse response to an invasion of Taiwan by China.

Russia has brought litigation against the EU for freezing its resources in a Russian court knowing that a European Court like the World Court would probably make a finding in Europe's favor. Even the world court is partisan realistically. The United States might appear as a safer place to invest for nations with politics antipathetic to Europe. If the Trump administration would unfreeze the assets of Russia it has and end sanctions, China and Russia might decide to invest more in the United States than Europe in the long term; perhaps China could build an intercity high speed rail service, or infrastructure for electric platforms around city grids that are free public transit platforms that would surpass present bus formats.

Russia is pragmatic as space development and might work with the private American sector to expedite lunar base infrastructure. Russians understand cold weather better than many Americans and that knowledge can work well even in the very cold and hot extremes of the Earth's moon. Certainly one cannot look to Europe for intelligent or pragmatic politics when they have the scent of land conquest in their nostrils. They cannot allow sharing of the borderlands (the Ukraine) under any circumstance. Europe's attitude is 'mine, mine!'

Zelenski Rejects US Peace Plan; Pres. Trump Should End U.S. Sanctions on Russia

 European leaders seemed determined to advance their Ukraine conflict toward World War Three. They are confident they can use 180 billion dollars of frozen Russia investments to finance another year or two of war without U.S. support. That is a very dangerous trend and one that brings on prospect for world peace in the next couple of years.

Lemmings swear oaths before heading to the edge…safety in numbers.

With Russian forces already steadily, slowly advancing across the Donbas to recover their land lost to the Clinton era redistribution of Ukraine land from Russia to western powers, a revitalization of war sponsored by Europe’s EU forces will compel Russians to advance farther west and fight for recovery of all of Ukraine in general war, otherwise they would need to remain on interior lines of defense and seek some other way to discourage European financed and directed Ukrainian military assaults upon the Russian forces in the Donbas and very likely old Russia itself including Moscow.

With European lunatics running their corrupt puppet Zelenski the Ukraine war has an excellent chance for developing into a third world war. President Trump’s only apparently effective card to play to disincentivize the European led war upon Russia would be to totally end all U.S. sanctions on Russia. With Russia free to trade with the world and generate better income the EU war on Russia would have far less prospects for success. Something needs to be done to discourage Europe’s EU leaders from puffing up the conflict- yesterday Zelenski officially rejected the U.S. Peace plan after meeting with EU leaders in London.

Ending U.S. sanctions on Russia is a best case scenario for U.S. trade and economic futures. Normalizing relations with Russia and the BRIC nations would put the U.S. on the right side of the equation. Moving away from old Europe’s war on Russia and historical trait of eastward expansion through conflict would provide a competitive trade boost against the militaristic EU economy seeking to destroy itself through war with sugarplum dreams of atheistic glory in its thought.

Europe's Big Three are Detached from Efficient Economic Realty on Ukraine Conflict

 Europe’s big three nations militarily; France, Germany and Britain are completely spaced on the Ukraine war and seek to drag it out. As regards the U.S. they are like a pack of dog’s President Trump was hired to walk (by Joe Biden) that want to go their own way and chase a rabbit for lunch. They have no idea about the wrongness of their course to head over a cliff like a pack of lemming-schnauzers

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c8r3v5mmyp8o

They still have a fiction for themselves that Russia might attack Europe; they don’t remember that Russia vis the Soviet Union gave back half of Europe to the free world and sought peace. Russia simply wants it’s own security from N.A.T.O. expansion and to share the Ukraine it has usually owned before the Clinton era theft during a time of confusion and uncertainty for Russians.

Protracting the war is costly for everyone and the European leadership should be corrected in some way, if that is possible. Meanwhile President Trump should take the U.S. out of the war as he commendably has sought to accomplish, leaving peace in his wake.

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.

Euros and Zelnski Rely on U.S. Chumpery to Continue the War in Ukraine Indefinitely

 Zelenski and European political war mongers think President Trump is a chump not to be taken seriously in regard to ending the Ukraine war. They expect to deface Trump's 28 point peace plan to their satisfaction and alter the points adding measures to the effect that Russia must capitulate and withdraw all forces from Ukraine or else.

The basic problem with securing peace quickly is that Euros reinforce Zelenski and each expect the U.S. leadership to be spineless sycophants providing full support for the war on Russia in Ukraine as was President Biden. President Biden provided political and military fellatio to Ukraine and Europe can’t believe President Trump won’t really continue those policies. Neither realize that the negotiation is largely between President Trump and Russia. The Europeans are interested, crazy, war mongering coaches for Ukraine and fans that whole-heartedly want the war to continue even if Ukraine is losing.

President Trump has it within his power to end the war himself simply by recognizing Russian ownership of Donbas and Crimea and ending sanctions on Russia with a promise from President Putin to stop the war at whatever military lines it has in combat contact with Ukraine if and whenever the Ukraine government does plead for peace. That is, Russia will not continue the fight over the Dnepro River just because Ukraine has agreed to quit fighting.

Without U.S. military support, intelligence and sanctions Ukraine will continue to lose the war- only faster. European perfidy relies on the N.A.T.O. treaty to snair the U.S.A. on the wrong side of a conflict with Russia over Ukraine at some point in the future I would think via clever, calculated, planning and trickery. After the Cold War, building up N.A.T.O. to such a large, unnecessary size that it would make the United States a junior partner obligated to do Europe's bidding was a foreseeable mistake. I noted that problem a decade or two ago. European leadership was always latent war mongers even when they were beaten down after W.W. 1 and 2. War is in their political genome.

European military forces of the E.U. always were a potential enemy of the United States that would need to be offset by an alliance with Russia. It hasn't reached that point yet. It is not reasonable to suppose that U.S. and E.U. political choices would always be in agreement. Wars can occur between powerful nations and armies sometimes. The potential change of allies to adversaries can happen quickly. Scaling back N.A.T.O. to a size that would not present a threat to the United States if it turned to the dark side of the force would rectify a problem that has increased the past three decades.

After W.W. 2 N.A.T.O. allies of the United States were not remotely as powerful as the U.S. military. That balance is changing; even with the encouragement of recent U.S. Presidents. Ending the Ukraine war and normalizing relations with Russia is good for the U.S.A. and Russia. The Euros say that land shouldn't be taken by force. Yet when Russia was so weak after the end of the Cold War and Ukraine so tempting for the west they took it en passant from Russia the rightful owner. Euros and N.A.T.O. had so much military force advantage they did not need to use force; still Ukraine was in effect taken by force from Russia the rightful owner. Sharing Ukraine with Russia is the only remedy to prevent continuing battle and needless killing. Russia knows it cannot get a fair hearing in any European 'World Court'. If the World Court judicial composition were switched to operations by BRIC nations every five years or so the verdicts probably would be different. Force de majeure is the only remedy when the judiciary is completely corrupt like a European based World Court that hasn't any legal authority over nations anyway.

Zelensk Government Negotiates Like Saddam Hussein's Iraq

 Ukraine's Zelenski and the parliament remind me of the wise guy issues the U.S.A. had in negotiations for various matters with Sodom Hussein's Iraq. Ukraine is ostensibly an ally though one that primarily flies a skull and crossbones favored by England, Poland, France, Germany and a few other nations. The United States is the chump footing the bill for the Ukraine war and the host of corrupt politicians and business people making a fortune from the senseless conflict.

Zelenski's latest ploy is to ditch Pres. Trump's 28 point peace plan that Mr. Trump requires Zelenski to sign by the 27th of November or lose American military and intelligence contributions. 

The method to extend that deadline is his disavowal of his power as President of Ukraine that was extended during martial law to avoid elections and saying only the parliament has the power to make laws to enable peace negotiations to exist with Russia. The parliament probably isn't willing to negotiate or enable negotiations while the corrupt are profiting.

The Zelenski government can play a wise guy version of who's on first fairly well for a disingenuous neo-ally/nephew/shill of various powers that want to expand into former Russian lands like Ukraine. President Trump will probably need to let his deadline play out rather than continue an interminable succession of delays in ending the war. President Putin has already said the 28 point plan can form the basis for a peace settlement, albeit with some possible tweaking. It is a good deal for Russia and more than West Ukraine needs.

Auto-Refueling Military Vehicles Won't Rely on Vulnerable Fuel Supply Logistics

 There are substantial differences between W.W. II and the Ukraine conflict about 80 years later obviously.  Logistics, weapons technology, communication and political configurations have changed a lot. Here is a video with more background on the German military posture compared to that of the American during World War Two.

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dprFSZBTVj8

One might learn something from that regarding the  military posture of the United States today with so much manufacturing having shifted offshore and the industrial base half located in China and elsewhere. Solar rechargeable electric vehicles perhaps with auxiliary fuel cells may be a sustainable mass produced military vehicle for foreign militaries that reduce cost and reliance on fuel logistics down the road. Already the rise of drones and solar-power AI drones are changing the realities of equipment that might survive mass air and ground attack from drones. Fuel supply vehicles would be especially difficult to defend making self-fueling military vehicles de rigeur in the future.

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.

President Trump Keeps the Tomahawks Belted and Moves Toward Peace

 Narrowly avoiding a decision that would have ramped up the prospects for World War Three, President Trump today in a meeting with Ukraine's President Zelensky rejected giving the nuclear-weapons-capable longer range Tomahawk weapons to Ukraine that wanted to attack Russia with them. The war needs to end rather than escalate. So President Trump agreed to meet with Russia President Putin in Hungary and talk about ending the conflict. President could himself nearly end the war by stopping adding weapons fuel to the fire. ending sanctions in Russia, recognizing Ukraine land presently held by Russia as Russian and stipulating that Ukraine will not be permitted to become a N.A.T.O member on Russia's border. President Putin would only need to agree to halt the war along present lines of combat contact and to not attack Ukraine any more except where N.A.T.O. member military personnel present an armed threat with troop build-ups in Ukraine.

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.

Russia Can't Stop War Easily Before N.A.T.O./EU/USA Agree to Terms

 Russia cannot easily stop its offensive movement in Eastern Ukraine to retake land lost at the end of the Cold War to the West before the West agrees to terms with Russia. The reason is simple; if Russia stops the offensive the Ukraine offense, western forces would have the opportunity to  rebuild forces to attack Russians on the eastern front.

  One wonders with game theory logic if Russia need attack rather slowly so as not to actually complete its 'Special Military Operation' too soon. If it were to reach Kiev the same situation that requires the west to agree to peace after the war is over would still prevail. Russia would need to slowly move toward the Western border of Ukraine and stop there. I would guess that is not an ideal spot for Russia or the West since it might be like expecting a Honey badger and a Python to be good friends and neighbors.

So it is possible the war may drag on for years with various U.S. presidents developing new rhetoric and new reasons to send more money or add new sanctions for the war effort in Ukraine. Maybe President Putin of Russia will provide new risk incentives to bring the Western powers to reach an agreement that protects Russian security in the Eastern part of the borderland that is Ukraine.

Europeans can have the Lebensraum (living space) they want at the expense of Russia at the end of the Cold War 1.0 by making investment and peace with Russia profitable for Russia as well as themselves. Russia might allow business investment and foreign residents to buy small partials of first rate Siberian acreage with forests eventually if those migrants don't seem to be a threat.

Game theory models of the Ukraine conflict with European leadership two-dimensional worldviews tend to lead toward escalation and nuclear events far more than deescalation ir peace. France for example just sent commando frogs (French seals) to detain a Russian oil tanker offshore. The gross ignorance of European leaders should be an eye opener for Americans that don't want to be dragged into the mass incineration party of thermonuclear or even tactical atomic warfare with or without beryllium coated radioactive pills.

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.

Emperor Zelensky with No Hummingbirds to Send Young Women and Old Men to Battle

Apparently the Ukraine hasn’t  any hummingbirds. That may be an explanation for why Emperor Zelensky is cruel enough to send young women ages 18 to 24 into the front line of battle as combat infantry. He also plans to send old men over 60 there as well.

I had no idea that hummings don’t live in the old world. They are found only in the new world. Sadistic royalty sending women and old men to be splattered in battle should be sure to go with them.
