We wrote before on the limitless economic and political possibilities of an American-Russian trade alliance through Alaska and Siberia. Now the Wall Street Journal is getting into the act.

Trump’s team has been quietly exploring a Ukraine “peace plan” built around a mix of diplomacy, territory talks, and big economic incentives, writes WSJ.

Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met repeatedly with Putin’s negotiator, Kirill Dmitriev, who pushed the idea that ending the war could come through U.S.–Russia cooperation — reopening Russia’s economy with America, not Europe, as the main partner.

The conversations ranged from using frozen Russian funds to help rebuild Ukraine, to U.S. access to Arctic energy and Siberian minerals, to restarting major projects like Sakhalin and even the crippled Nord Stream 2 pipeline.

U.S. investors and Russian oligarchs were already positioning themselves in case a deal took shape.

There were also political pieces: territorial ideas Ukraine rejected, talk of a massive prisoner swap, and U.S. economic incentives for Kyiv.

Russia even floated a return to space cooperation — including the symbolic idea of a joint mission to Mars — as part of a “new relationship.”

The WSJ goes on to list oligarchs and individuals reportedly being involved in discussing future projects with the Kremlin.

Trump is absolutely right - the way forward for peace is economic integration. This path defeats the globalist agenda to destroy humanity's means for living, and the degradation of our society.

Full steam ahead - make money not war!
