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.

https://www.axios.com/2025/10/17/trump-zelensky-tomahawk-missiles-white-house

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.

Russian Drones Cross into Poland

 A few dozen Russian drones entered Polish air space in a significant escalation of the conflict between N.A.T.O. and Russia, perhaps to signal to N.A.T.O. that they are ready for World War Three. N.A.T.O. members preponderantly have supplied weapons to Ukraine as well as intelligence and personnel support for decades. Europe's political structures make escalation to the worst case war level routine historically. America has followed that jackassery since Bill Clinton was President.

When N.A.T.O. cruise missiles attacked the Donetsk a day ago in an effort to kill Russian military personnel at a regional headquarters Russia was perhaps prompted to retaliate by attacking the route the N.A.T.O. supplied cruise missiles took to attack Russia- The Donbas is regarded by Russia as a part of Russia; Poland is the primary supply hub for the entry of implements of war into the Ukraine. The N.A.T.O. attack had strategic military value and perhaps required a substantive response.

It is improbable that the drone missions to Poland did significant damage as N.A.T.O. air defenses were activated and in no way depleted from previous attack. It is possible the drones were launched by Ukraine to trick Donald Trump into aggressive support for Ukraine.   https://suno.com/s/nGoRgj1dUov8heNv  Free Space

The likely consequence is that the morons in Western leadership will continue to regard the prospect of W.W. Three as a bluff until it occurs, and then try to win a nuclear war. It is still not too late to settle the conquest peacefully by sharing Ukraine with Russia, ending sanctions and demilitarizing the place except for a self-defense  o in the western portion. N.A.T.O. troops stationed in Ukraine will not be acceptable to Russia.

N.A.T.O. Chief Wears Blinders for Ukraine (Ukrajina -The Borderland)

It was Poland that gave the name 'the borderland'- Ukrajina in the 1700s to the area today known as Ukraine

N.A.T.O. Chief Mark Rutte insists Ukraine is an independent country and has a right to have troops stationed there or join N.A.T.O. because it "is an independent country" and doesn't understand that is what the fight is about. Leadership that seems retarded or intentionally ignorant is not encouraging for the west that would like to see the issue peacefully resolved.

Russia is in opposition to foreign troops being stationed in the borderlands, and is opposed to the borderlands becoming part of N.A.T.O. Russia also wants part of the borderlands to be recognized as a part of Russia based on historical precedent. And the retarded leader of N.A.T.O. has zero understanding of the Russian position and simply asserts that Ukraine is entirely western and independent in an 'it all is ours' viewpoint regarding the big pie of chips called the borderlands that will need to be shared peaceful and profitably between Russia and the West if the potential for World War Three is to be reduced.

Russia and its leader Vladimir Putin are not at some point after a few hundred thousand more people are killed in the war going to give the pile called the borderlands entirely to the West, It just isn't going to happen. Until the west recognizes that fact the world economic and political schism is going to continue and possibly even grow and that is not in anyone's interest.

Consider the Batan Island base? Marines have put Nmesis missiles there to control Luzon Strait. They are good for 115 miles. Batan is the northernmost populated island in the Philippines. Technically it is a good place to have a circumference kill zone on Chinese incursions into the south China and Philippine Seas. That island was the first place the Japanese attacked in W.W. II, so it is another example of Generals fighting the last battle as if the next would be like it. While China would like to dominate the fisheries, oil and seafloor mining opportunities in the area, it isn't too likely to be of much significance in event of W.W. 3. President Trump isn't a dummy, yet his strategic outlook is probably more a factor of his economic outlook than developed with strategic military considerations. Europe for example would be far more secure with peace in Ukraine- sharing it with Russia, than pursuing a complete our way or no way policy of conquest in Ukraine over all Russian claims.

The U.S. Government has been rebuilding many old, abandoned airfield for a possible war with China this last year in the S.W. Pacific region. Many airfields would make it harder for China to take all of them out. Aircraft will need places to land to refuel and rearm in event of war. The U.S.A. has developed a more new battle doctrine for that combat theater yet of course even that advanced theoretical paradigm is changing a lot, perhaps so far as to become obsolete, as a result of Ukraine war development of drone technology for war. I am sure that DARPA is working on a plethora of A.I. self-regulating drones for attacking various targets negating the need for human operators in some cases. Island and bases may be neutralized by undersea refueled drones as well. Just as air tankers refuel aircraft in flight, sub-sea tanker mini-subs may be developed to refuel amphibious drones as well as undersea drones. All of this is of course a Field of Morons paradigm, rather than a Field of Dreams. Yet is is the way political leaders are driven by power and financial pressures and incentives.

The longer the Ukraine conflict continues the more the Eastern Block will deploy there own systems positioned to defrappe the Western Block that will be deploying counter-system. It is all very good for defense contracting business. This progression deserves a Ludlum title at least- like the Aquitaine Progression or The Parsifal Mosaic, though it reminds me of the perennial war between Oceana and some other power that went on interminably in Orwell's 1984. With the rise of A.I. that sort of scenario may evolve and people will become more isolated, conditioned by the daily hate and surveilled by the state. It needs to slip over a world population slowly, with subterfuge, rather than to be forced upon them.

9-11 demonstrated the fragility of major American cities to attacks with high explosives from the air. The Ukraine War has shown how drones take out conventional ground forces and the way cities are destroyed. Casualties and property damage from even a conventional war with China would really set back the U.S. economy with destruction of thousands of urban core buildings, power and communications centers. Drones will be vectored to the U.S. mainland from a number of different approaches perhaps, while the U.S. attacks China with cargo ships full of drones. China would be equally devastated with perhaps 200 million dying from starvation and disease as secondary effects becoming collateral casualties resulting from loss of economic infrastructure and food supply disruption plus disease. It is important to have peace in Ukraine directly sharing it with Russia and retiring Zelensky. Continuing escalation doesn't lead to a good place for east or west. President Trump needs to withdraw all support from Ukraine and reestablish relations with Russia if he wants to make a difference, and of course he can't do that.

Europe has a lengthy history of fighting interminable, internecine wars. There is no reason to slacken hold of the reins America held until recently on that following WW 2. President Trump does not understand that European leadership would venture right up to and over the edge given the vacuum of US leadership globally since President Clinton.

On leaders cooperating; it isn't certain at all about who the leaders really are or even the structure. It could be a plutonomy. European history indicated they war until they can't- when they have left things in ruins. Cooperation is possible though.Look up the prisoners dilemma, and the diner;' dilemma- a pair of philosophically illuminating theory examples that is applicable to leadership in Europe with some modifications
