I think Trump’s post on Truth Social was a HUGE MISTAKE, and I am very, very, very disappointed. He slapped Vladimir Putin across the face, and what he did was put us in the crosshairs of World War III. There is now a VAST risk that Russia will NOT engage in peace talks shortly. Ukraine is a renegade proxy puppet. It has been the Hezbollah of our Neocons no different than what Iran has done against Israel.

Trump’s reasoning comes from the NEOCON propaganda that cut off Russia’s energy sales, and they cannot fight and can be conquered. This is why Trump’s position is to drill baby drill to bring down energy prices, and that will reduce inflation but also undermine the Russian economy, forcing them to surrender. That is the storyline the NEOCONS have been using since the 1950s. They advocated putting sanctions on any German company that made the pipe to create the pipelines to Europe in the first place. That did not go over well.

The West orchestrated this entire war just as they did to get Japan to attack Pearl Harbor, the Weapons of Mass Destruction to invade Iraq, or the lies to start Vietnam because our NEOCONS thought Russia was behind that as well. Even Dick Cheney endorsed Kamala along with every NEOCON so they could invade Russia. Russia knows that the Western Press is our NEOCON version of Pravda, which spreads lies that this was Russia’s aggression against Ukraine when it is precisely the opposite. They refuse to tell the truth about anything and look at the timeline.

There is now a SERIOUS RISK that Trump has insulted Russia, and I question if Putin can even meet at this point in time. If he does, he will suffer tremendous criticism inside Russia from their NEOCONS. Everyone knows that Ukraine is a puppet of the West, and this conflict is a global confrontation of the West with the bold intention to conquer Russia, carve it up, and divide the spoils, for Europe is collapsing economically, and they now cannot survive without war.

The legitimacy of Ukraine’s President, Volodymyr Zelensky, is a total joke. He has declared martial law to prevent any possibility that the Ukrainian people can vote to get rid of him. He has been directly responsible for killing over 1 million Ukrainians for what? The territory that Russians have occupied for centuries? . . .
