Let me try and break this down so even a child can understand.
The Russian army is a busted flush. Unless it gets a cease fire to re-arm and train more soldiers, its economy will collapse while its army is still bogged down on the battlefield in a war they can’t win.
Putin can’t believe his luck that a longtime Russian asset is now resident in the White House to save him. The Russian economy regardless of the propaganda, is on life support and Putin desperately needs the sanctions currently strangling him to be lifted. He’s ex KGB and he knows Trump is a fanboy, so he’s fully exploiting his vulnerabilities to adopt him as his new useful idiot.
In the Moscow Times yesterday it was reported, ‘ …..in televised comments, Russia was ready to work with "foreign partners including Americans" on developing reserves of rare earth metals, including "in our new regions," referring to regions of Ukraine controlled by Russia…..’
How strange that Trump is insisting Zelenskyy signs a deal on rare earth metals and minerals, at the same time Putin is drawing up plans to setup “foreign partnerships” in their “new regions” inside Ukraine. Let’s be absolutely clear, this is no different from when the Nazis confiscated artwork and melted down the gold teeth of Jews gassed in Auschwitz. Trump is absolutely comfortable with earning blood money from the murder of innocent Ukrainians.
History is punctuated with crimes against humanity. The hoax leader of the free world, has incorporated an international criminal enterprise, specializing in extortion and ethic cleansing. He has designated the White House as its global headquarters.
The international community has to decide where it stands and yesterday we were given our answer. In a UN resolution. The full details of which can be found at :
Before the vote, Ukraine's Deputy Foreign Minister Mariana Betsa told the assembly, "This war has never been about Ukraine only. It is about a fundamental right of any country to exist, to choose its own path and to live free from aggression,"
The resolution passed, but the US voted against it and stood with Russia, Belarus, Israel and NORTH KOREA! against Ukraine. It’s also worthy of note, the The United States had tried before the vote to pressure the Ukrainians to withdraw their resolution, in favour of its proposal which later passed the UN Security Council, but without mentioning Russia's aggression.
In short, the U.S. does not recognize Russia as being the aggressor in a conflict in which its leader has been has been indicted for war crimes. I suppose we should be unsurprised given Trump incited an insurrection to prevent the constitutional and lawful transfer of power, calling it ‘a tourist day out’.
To say Russia has not been the aggressor in this illegal invasion of a sovereign nation, is to say the earth is flat and six million Jews weren’t murdered in the holocaust.
There can be no question, this is a new Russo-American alliance. Yet NATO member nations and other allies seem to want to persist in thinking a convicted criminal doesn’t mean to abuse us. Classic Stockholm Syndrome.
Might I be so bold as to suggest, to host a summit and bring together all the conflict stakeholders, in order to negotiate a peace settlement? I wonder why that would be a nonstarter?
Europe needs to have a political ice bath and wake up to the fact that America is no longer our friend. It’s over and we need to stop embarrassing ourselves by believing we can deliver redemption to our abuser.
He WILL remove sanctions from Russia so the clock is ticking. By default, this will effectively help Putin rearm. Think about that, I’ll wait. Once again for those at the back in the red hats, America is helping Russia rearm. To Europe I say, the clock is ticking. Trump can no longer be trusted.
Ask yourself this question, ‘Do we want to trust the future of our children and grandchildren’ to a Russian collaborator? I think not.
Nailed that.
