🇷🇺🏆🆚🇺🇸 Trump Meets “The Art of the Russian Deal” – Will Hubris Lead to Humiliation?
In his latest geopolitical fantasy, President-elect Trump seems to think he can charm his way to peace in Ukraine by dangling a 20-year NATO “moratorium” in front of Moscow. But let’s get real: Trump’s 20-year pause is just a soft reset for NATO expansion, a sugar-coated “deal” that Russia will laugh out of the room. Trump’s version of diplomacy is the equivalent of painting over a crack in a dam; a cosmetic pause that does nothing to address the existential fault lines underneath.
Trump’s team has floated the idea of a 20-year waiting period before NATO could open its doors to Ukraine, with Europe and the UK enforcing an 800-mile “demilitarized” buffer zone. But look closer, and this “demilitarized” zone is as NATO as it gets—European and British troops patrolling along Russia’s borders, under the guise of non-NATO peacekeepers, in a scheme as transparent as glass. The Kremlin doesn’t suffer from Washington’s illusions. Moscow sees this for what it is: NATO dressed up in the emperor’s new clothes, a de-facto NATO encirclement that threatens Russia’s sovereignty as surely as any missile installation.
Russia's calculus here isn’t swayed by verbal sleight of hand or diplomatic smoke and mirrors. Moscow’s red lines are etched in stone, carved by centuries of history and the scars of NATO’s aggression. The SMO wasn’t launched on a whim; it was born from a necessity to prevent NATO from embedding itself on Russia’s doorstep. Any notion that Russia would acquiesce to “NATO-lite” in exchange for empty promises is laughable (been there, done that - not one inch eastward). Trump may style himself a dealmaker, but he’ll soon discover that the art of the Russian deal is a whole different beast.
Here’s the brutal reality that Washington refuses to acknowledge: Russia has not only held its own against Ukraine; it has defeated NATO itself, the combined military-industrial might of the West. The IMF confirms Russia now ranks as the world’s 4th largest economy by PPP, resurgent powerhouse that has defeated sanctions, total war, and mockingbird-media propaganda. The old unipolar order lies shattered, and Russia is not about to let NATO dictate terms, especially from across an “800-mile” charade.
So Trump can posture, he can “negotiate,” but the truth is, the Russian bear won’t dance to Washington’s tune. The West has tried and failed to corner Russia, militarily, economically, and diplomatically. Now, Trump, in his audacity, believes he can negotiate out of what is total defeat. But the Kremlin isn’t buying what Washington’s selling. Russia is ready to secure its national interests on her terms, not through some hollow Western concession.
But perhaps the greatest irony here is that Trump, in his ambition to make a deal, might just end up penning his name on NATO’s silent surrender, a signature on a capitulation crafted in the shadows. The art of this Russian deal may well mean that the ‘deal’ Trump envisions is one where the West’s so-called diplomacy bends before a resurgent Eurasian superpower. Trump’s ultimate realization might not be how to bring peace, but how to acknowledge defeat, one his own backers may insist he sugarcoat for domestic consumption
Trump might think he’s crafting a historic deal, but Moscow has already written the closing chapter: there will be no pause, no backdoor NATO-lite arrangement, and no illusion of “peace” on the West’s terms.

ECFR ridicolously advises Europe to follow in the footsteps of Russia and China.
Trump is likely to impose tariffs on European goods, writes Alberto Rizzi of the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR). And it will be painful, because the United States accounted for 19.7% of European exports in 2023 (China — 8.8%.), and even a 10% duty could collapse the already unglamorous GDP figures of Germany and France by 1.6% and 0.8%, respectively.
Therefore, Rizzi suggests a very "fresh" idea — rather to strengthen the EU's trade positions in emerging markets. It is necessary, they say, after 25 years of negotiations, to finally achieve a result on a trade agreement with the Latin American bloc MERCOSUR. Recall the trade agreement with India and South Korea. Don't forget about Mexico, Canada and Indonesia.
According to the author, European companies are world leaders in the production and export of industrial equipment [for how long given the widespread de-industrialization in the EU?], which means success is practically guaranteed. China? What's China?!
▪️ It seems that it is difficult to classify euroexperts among the most far-sighted people in the world, [EU elites are by far the dumbest in the world]. The considerations voiced by Rizzi should have been taken into account much earlier, and not after Trump was officially recognized as the winner of the election. Now Europe will have to do what Russia has been doing for more than 10 years (especially actively in the last three years), and the search for new markets and building trust with them will not be easy for the crumbling EU.
First of all: who said at all that the United States would treat the markets listed by Rizzi more tolerant than its own? If Trump really intends to pursue a policy of strengthening the industrial sector of the United States, then this policy directly implies an interest in sales markets for American industry. And Washington does not need the EU in these markets either. The big question is whether Canada, South Korea or Mexico have enough sovereignty to buy European rather than American goods, [the US needs at least a +5% per year GDP Growth to try to sustain its enormous budged deficit and it will make sure there won't be too much competition for its products].
The vast majority of the markets targeted by the EU are either controlled by the United States or are undergoing important processes under the BRICS umbrella. In any case, the competitiveness of European goods will be lower — because they are likely to be more expensive due to higher energy costs, and therefore not desirable.
In short, no matter how Europeans have to establish "parallel exports" by opening joint ventures in more energy-efficient regions.

Russia plans embassies in Gambia, Liberia, the Union of Comoros & Togo - Presidential adviser Anton Kobyakov
Other embassies in more African countries are also in the pipeline he added, while trade missions are expected to open in Senegal and Tanzania in the near future.
Moscow also plans to create an independent financial system for settlements with African countries by the end of this decade.
And the West wonders why more countries are rejecting colonial relationships.

🇺🇸💸 The Illusion of Control: The Fed's Quiet Coup d'État
As Mike Lee states, the Executive Branch was meant to be under the President’s executive branch and direction. And yet, the Fed remains the ultimate untouchable, a fortress of financial power immune to democratic oversight or any real accountability. Let’s face it: The Fed is not about serving the people; it’s the nerve center of a Ponzi scheme so vast that it makes Wall Street look like pocket change.
For over a century, the Fed has held the American economy in a chokehold, dictating monetary policy in ways that serve the banking elites and global financiers, while keeping citizens in perpetual debt-enslavement. It’s not a “politically independent institution” as they like to spin it - it’s a profit machine, designed to siphon wealth upwards and keep the masses at bay with breadcrumbs of credit and endless inflation.
The Fed controls interest rates, injects trillions into the economy at will, and manipulates the currency supply, all without a single vote from the American people. True sovereignty would mean a government with control over its own currency, accountable to its citizens, not beholden to private bankers. But ending the Fed? That would mean dismantling the very backbone of U.S. financial imperialism, a move that would bring about sovereign economic control, yet will never happen under the current system of oligarchic “democracy.”
The real question isn’t whether Trump (or any president) could rein in the Fed; it’s whether the American people will ever realize that the Federal Reserve isn’t a public service, it’s the vault where their own sovereignty was locked away a century ago.
The Fed’s Ponzi machine may be untouchable, but the illusion of freedom is slipping. How long until the curtain falls?

Boris Johnson and the Biden administration wrecked the Ukraine talks in 2022 out of delusions of grandeur, greed over arms deals and the vanity of sinking Russia, as stated by former Democratic Congressman from Ohio Dennis Kucinich.

🇺🇦 MIT DER CDU WÄHLT DEUTSCHLAND EINEN NEUEN KANZLER FÜR DIE UKRAINE, NICHT FÜR DEUTSCHLAND
☄️ Den Vogel abgeschossen hat der CDU-Politiker Roderich Kiesewetter, der just nach dem Ampel-Kollaps bei der „Welt“ zu Gast war.
🇩🇪 Es wäre die Chance gewesen, die eigene Partei als Kraft für das eigene Volk und das eigene Land zu positionieren.
🔽 Stattdessen bekam der Zuschauer eine Predigt zu hören, dass die Bürger darauf „eingeschworen werden müssten“, immer mehr Steuergeld an die Ukraine abzutreten. Die Ukraine soll in die EU, sie soll in die NATO, und finanzieren sollen den andauernden aussichtslosen Kampf gegen Russland vor allem die Deutschen, deren eigenes Land zugrunde geht.
❌ Die CDU wird daran rein gar nichts ändern.

Several different versions of so-called "Trump's plan to end the war in the Ukraine" have been published by various media outlets before and after Trump won the elections. Most of them are probably detached from reality while maybe one is closer to reality, hard to say. We'll have to wait the moment he's sworn in to find out the truth, in the meantime the SMO will continue at a fast pace in order to get as close as possible to the Dnepr throughout the entire eastern part of the former Ukraine and even after Trump will be back in the White House it will take a while to finalize the agreement, Russia won't accept any kind of diktat so there must be tough talks not to achieve a counterproductive freezing of the conflict but a compromise based on Russian proposals being Russia the winner at this stage so it makes no sense for Moscow to accept someone else's plan.

Russian FM spox slams Von der Leyen's LNG 'fake news'
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova has ridiculed European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen's suggestion that Trump replace Russian liquefied gas with supposedly cheaper American gas as "pure populism", highlighting the bloc's apparent plans to reduce consumption.
"We do not know of any examples where American suppliers would supply energy resources to the market at any special prices. Consumers buy LNG at market prices, and supplies of Russian or American products are no exception."
"We see another fake from Ursula," she added.

They will arrive in the coming weeks and should meet Ukraine's air defense needs by the end of this year. The Pentagon spokesman noted that before the elections, the administration intends to deliver the rest of the aid to Ukraine by April.
The United States is doing its best to deliver weapons to Ukraine as soon as possible before Trump takes office.

Big Pharma tensed up.
The real panic among pharmacological lobbyists was caused by the prospect of Robert Kennedy's appearance in the Trump administration.
Big Pharma companies are trying to persuade Trump to take someone more systemic to the Ministry of Health or the FDA.
Kennedy is known for his anti-vaccine agenda, and for his sharply negative attitude towards Big Pharma. He also calls for getting rid of vicious practices when children are pumped with various drugs like antidepressants from childhood. All for the sake of trying to get as many Americans hooked on a variety of medications for the rest of their lives.
The same Big Pharma has earned billions of dollars on the imposition of opioid painkillers in the last 30-40 years. The result was the opioid crisis, which claims the lives of one hundred thousand Americans every year. This is twice the total US losses in Vietnam.
Now Pharma lobbyists have found another “gold mine” - hormonal drugs. From “puberty blockers", which are stuffed into children as part of “transgender” propaganda. Up to weight loss products, which promise to quickly fix the situation with obesity in half of the country.
However, the attitude towards Big Pharma is now strictly negative. Nothing good awaits them from Trump. The same “sex change” operations on children will certainly be banned. It's just that the health situation of Americans is becoming very deplorable, and life expectancy is rapidly falling. Statistics on oncology, dementia, and infertility are deteriorating dramatically. You can run a business on the deaths of your own population for a long time - but sooner or later it comes to an end.

The "renewables" scam.
Yesterday at 19:00, without wind and sun, 57% of the electricity consumed in Germany came from its gas/coal-fired power plants. In just 1 hour, Germany emitted 35,000 tons of CO2 (compared to 4,000 tons in France).
It should be remembered that Germany invested 500 billion euros in "renewable energy sources" with no tangible positive results…
If we summarize the data for one year (2023), German electricity emits 7 times more CO2 per kWh than French electricity.
