Behind the curtain
“Take care of Russia,” Boris Yeltsin said as he departed his presidency in August 1999. These words were directed at current Russian president, Vladimir Putin. Yeltsin specifically picked Putin as his predecessor to prevent the takeover of Russia.
So, who was Yeltsin warning against? Newly declassified documents from the Clinton Administration prove that there was a plot to rig the Russian election of 2000. These never-before-seen documents confirm numerous attempts to implement pro-Western policies using the Russian oligarchy headed by Boris Berezovsky.
On the other side were the communists who desired a return to the glory days of the Soviet Union. As one of the largest international hedge fund managers, author Martin Armstrong found himself in the middle of perhaps the greatest espionage, or attempt at a regime change for Russia, in modern history.

Victor Orban explains his views on Russia and Ukraine
When did the war in Ukraine begin?
Vladimir Putin has repeatedly stated that Russia has taken a defensive position as he believes the war truly began in 2014 during a Western engineered coup. the U.S. and EU backed the Maidan protests to overthrow the democratically elected government of Viktor Yanukovych because he maintained economic ties with Russia instead of aligning fully with the West. This intervention led to civil unrest, the secession of Crimea to Russia via referendum, and a broader geopolitical confrontation that set the stage for ongoing conflict.
Volodymyr Zelensky’s rise to power in 2019 was part of the broader Western agenda to maintain control over Ukraine following the 2014 coup. Zelensky, initially elected on promises of peace and reform, ultimately became a tool of Western interests, escalating tensions with Russia instead of pursuing genuine diplomacy. Zelensky is a puppet leader of the West whose government is merely a continuation of the post-2014 regime.

Did the EU conspire aginst President Trump to trap him in an endless war with Russia?
[. . .] Donald Trump says I am the President not Joe Biden and European union conspired and is still conspiring against him, so when they say why aren't we at the table. Why would you be at the table? Why would Donald Trump in any Universe invite you to the table? What do you bring to the table and the answer is nothing but negativity. You are not there to promote what's best for America. You're not even there to promote what's best for Europe, because you don't know what's best for Europe. You sold your soul to Joe Biden and now you're left wandering the Wilderness and you're just not going to get a seat at the table. Europe brings nothing to the table. They don't want to bring this war to an end. They were Trump proofing the policy, which means they wanted the conflict in Ukraine to go on forever [. . .]
President Trump's statment about Zelensky
Is Zelensky on a suicide mission?
Ukraine's a metaphor for globalism and anything they do to promote globalism. This destructive force is justified morally so they've got to go away so the longer this takes to ultimately settle matters on the ground.
There is no rational adult leadership anywhere in Europe right now.
Comments by the U.S. Secretary of Defense
Breaking news from the White house
A fast track towards peace?
Under George W, right after 9/11 where the intelligence Community was told the Constitution didn't apply to them. Hopefully Trump can undo all of it and he's made it tremendous start.
The deep irony
The deep irony of all of this is that Europe suffered a terrible economic loss by the US policy, because the US policy included to break the links between Russia and Europe. But those two economies, the European Union economy and the Russian economy, are complementary. Russia's filled with natural resources including low cost natural gas, a critical energy source for German industry. The US went out of its way to break that link, even bombing the nordstream pipeline, destroying it, and Europe just sat there. Now the European economy is in a shambles. This is why the German government led by the social Democrats suffered the the worst imaginable defeat, because the economy has collapsed
Are the EU and the UK obstacles to peace?
We don't see the interest of Russia to rule the rest of Europe. To occupy Europe. For what reason?
Putin's views
We certainly have many more of these resources than Ukraine. Russia is one of the Undisputed leaders in rare and rare earth metal reserves, which we have in utk region and Yia. These are significant investments in capital intensive projects. We would gladly work with any foreign partners, including Americans. Yes by the way regarding the new territories the same thing applies. We are ready to attract foreign partners, including those interested in our historical territories. That return to the Russian Federation. There are reserves there too and we're ready to work with our partners including Americans in these new regions.
Zelensky making a fool of himself in the Oval Office?
Today Zelensky dug his own grave
Senator Lindsey Graham on FOX NEWS:
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., on Friday called for Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to resign after a disastrous Oval Office meeting with President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance, after which the president asked him to leave.
New York Post writes:
Kellogg was ready to walk away, nearly leaving Ukraine without a deal to present Trump.
However, Zelensky’s office reversed course at the last minute after the retired general boarded his train to Poland, apparently recognizing Kellogg was their best shot at mending frayed relations with the US president.
Impressed by Kellogg’s straightforward negotiations and displays of respect throughout — including a visit with wounded Ukrainian troops in a military hospital northwest of Kyiv — Zelensky’s office rushed documents to the train that Kellogg could take back to Trump.
Even after the close call, Kyiv pushed forward with the plan to seal the deal in Washington — a gamble that backfired Friday when Zelensky got into a heated exchange with Trump and Vice President JD Vance at the White House and was subsequently booted out of the West Wing.
“Zelensky played it as wrong as he could play it,” the senior US official said. “He came into the Oval acting like a tough guy. It didn’t play well. Everyone in the room felt insulted.
“Now Zelensky will have to figure out how to fix this on his own. We can’t fix it for him.”
Is Europe on a suicide mission?
A number of European leaders on Feb. 28 reaffirmed their support for Ukraine and President Volodymyr Zelensky, following his tense meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House.
kyivindependent.com - European leaders reaffirm support for Ukraine after Zelensky-Trump clash
Zelensky is believing his own BS, and the press loves him because of the Neocon propaganda. To refuse a cease-fire, claiming you need a security deal first, was not just BS, but it was based on the fact that the EU claims they are behind him, and he thought the press was so negative about Trump that he would win before the cameras. [. . .]
The problem is that the EU needs war with Russia because their economy is collapsing from COVID, Climate Change NET ZERO, and then sanctions on Russia. The EU is very anti-Trump. They have spent months demonizing him, reporting that there is no way he would be elected. Every issue of the Economist is nothing but hatred of Trump. The European press has set the tone and encouraged the split with the United States. They have also demonized Putin so much that it is now impossible for the EU to shake hands with Putin.

We're going to put boots on the ground planes in the air, oh I can't do without America's help and America said you don't got our help. The French we're going to be there for you but we're not. Italy finally got smart and said now we're not even playing this stupid game. The polls were not playing this stupid. game Europe's falling apart there is no European Unity.

United States and Russia coming together working on joint economic interests to ensure that the focus of security in the Europe going forward is premised on stable economic relations and not a flawed archaic Antiquated military Alliance that has no reason to exist anymore. Right now Europe defines its relationship with Russia through NATO that means NATO is the problem so NATO's got to go down.

The meaning of Fugazi (also spelled fugazy): It's a slang term meaning “false, bogus, inauthentic.” It can also mean “a counterfeit, sham; nonsense; an impostor.”
The future is not the past.
Free Speech too often turns out to be something that the people in power can tolerate. Not necessarily what everybody thinks, and the right of free expression simply doesn't exist right now. It's curtailed here. I hope it improves, but there's a lot of censorship as you know. There are protected classes, things you can't say. This is all nonsense. It needs to go away and I think president Trump has made it clear, he wants to head in that direction. But the Europeans, at least the globalist leaders that we're dealing with right now, they're not on board with that. They've got to go way too.
If the United States with under the Biden Administration put so much War material so many billions of dollars and so much ammunition, and all all the categories of war that we've helped him with intelligence training all those kinds of things, with everything the European Union did and it failed, it failed on the offense, it failed on the defense, I mean you can just look at the years 2023 and the year 2024 and there was a major offensive failure and a major defensive failure, which has perpetuated into the early part of 2025 and yet you still have the Europeans unwilling to to acknowledge that plain reality.
[. . .]
If the European Union had just said okay look Zelinsky just do the stuff on the Minsk agreements, just change your Constitution we'll continue to do business with you. Everything will be fine. There will be no war for anyone. We could have done that, should have done that. Well once the war came on we should have done at Istanbul. I won't go through all that again I've done it a ton of times, but you see the point. Whether it's Zelinsky or the European Union, every time there has been an opportunity for peace, every time there has been a chance to end the war, they say no we're going to keep fighting.

NATO was supposed to have or did used to be has now turned into an offensive force that poses an existential threat on the border with Russia.

Tulsi Gabard: President Trump is the peace president and he is putting the interests of the American people and our taxpayers first and foremost.
The imminent collapse of the Kursk incursion
looking at it militarily that Russia was content to let this go on for months, because every time Ukraine would send reinforcements into the Kursk pocket they were not available Ukraine to go into the donbas area, which has always been the priority of effort for the Russian side, so that made their job there easier and they could their objective and understand this. This is so important, because very few in the west seem to get that Russia's primary objective is not territorial acquisition. That's a byproduct. Their primary objective is the destruction of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, so whether they do that in the Kursk area and in the Eastern front or only on the Eastern Front is of little consequence, because it's this the total Force package of the Ukraine side that's what they have been going after and that is what they have stated openly. It's not anything hidden that you have to Divine they're stating it out loud that's what they call demilitarization and densification.
Ukrainian MP called for peace with Russia
Zelensky’s moment is quickly passing into history. A growing constituency of his own people and of Ukraine’s political elite are calling for new elections and a swift end to the war. And the imminent collapse of the Kursk incursion – widely seen as Zelensky’s brainchild – will focus those calls into a clamour.
It will be convenient to blame the coming massacre and capture of Ukrainian soldiers on Trump’s cutoff of military aid and intelligence sharing. But in truth things have been bleak well before the recent Trump-Zelensky meltdown.
Yesterday prominent Ukrainian MP Oleksiy Honcharenko called for peace with Russia after three years of passionate defiance. He called on Zelensky to stop claiming to be “saving” Europe and concentrate on saving Ukraine.
"The rearm Europe plan"
These European nations can't go to war without the United States. There's just too much interoperability as it was called. Too much dependence upon the United States provide key factors key elements of War fighting that the Europeans simply don't have.
[. . .]
I think that the powers in Europe feel that it's in their interest to not honor a peace agreement than it is to honor the peace agreement.
When you listen to the prime minister of Denmark. I've listened to, I think, the lady leading Estonia. Another prime minister in Finland or president. These people have lost all sense of proportionality. They don't know what war is all of these people do not understand War.
Ceasfire?
The reaction to the ceasefire is: Putin politely told the United States basically go shove it we want to talk we're interested in ceasefire, but we've had conditions and those conditions were laid out in June of 2024. I'd written and publish them extensively at my website sun2c. The first first requirement is that Ukraine has to withdraw all forces from Russian territory, and the Russians consider zapar IA heran luhans and detet as Russian territory. That's the first step. They have to renounce going into NATO. They have to stop attacking people making it illegal to speak Russian. They're going to have a new election because Vomir Zelinsky is an illegal president. Those are the conditions that Putin laid out almost a year ago, in June of 2024. Since then every single senior official in the Russian government has reiterated those positions.
They [Russians] don't take Europe seriously anymore, or as somebody that they need to engage, because what does Europe bring to the table other than problems. They don't bring natural resources. They don't bring Financial wealth. They don't bring military power.
I hope that Europe wises up and realizes that is a losing proposition. Just get this war off the table so that we can get back to some semblance of normality and lower if not remove the chance of any kind of clash between the west and the East that everyone will lose. f that happens to include the Russians to include the Europeans everybody will lose if we go down that path.
Catastrophic withdrawal from Kursk
The BBC has received extensive accounts from Ukrainian troops, who recount a "catastrophic" withdrawal in the face of heavy fire, and columns of military equipment destroyed and constant attacks from swarms of Russian drones.
As long as we continue to supply cash and weapons the war will continue.

NATO is DOA, Dead on Arrival, it it's going nowhere fast, why because it's proven to be entirely ineffective.
Under the Geneva conventions and under international law, if you're fighting in a war zone and you're not wearing a uniform you do not have the protections of the Geneva Convention.
Ceasefire on all Energy and Infrastructure
We [Europe] are US vassals, so at the moment we're on the wrong page, but very very quickly the page will turn and we'll be doing whatever Trump says.
United States doesn't have any leverage over Russia with respect to the war in Ukraine.
Tactical and operational pressure
Russia is putting more and more tactical and operational pressure on the Ukraine side, putting more and more pressure on their forces causing them to spread out and having to fight simultaneously in so many places, which means: if there's a breakthrough in any one places they just don't have enough operational reserves and theater reserves to be able to plug the gaps and still not sacrific somewhere else, just because there's so much pressure.
Conflicts cannot be solved without talking
Negiciations in Saudi-Arabia
The first thing that has to come first is to end the fighting in the war, because these other things can't be discovered until after the the fighting has stopped anyway, so to to delay trying to find a negotiated settlement on the theory that Russia may go further uh is is self-defeating, because that all that's going to do is prevent the stoppage of the loss of life.

The economies of Western Europe, they're all generally speaking with one or two exceptions in deep trouble so why would you want to take over that. What's what's the what's the value to Russia? I can't see any value.
[. . .]
I'm trying to still work out why so many of the western leaders and their military leaders as well as political leaders are so fixated with what with the political narrative that you've just described. You know that Putin is the hitlerian demon and zalinski is the churchillian hero, when you look at it it's almost the not quite the opposite, but it's not far off being the opposite.
[. . .]
The vision of Europe which is going almost hysterical in terms of wanting to rearm um and further impoverish itself having already impoverished itself using sanctions that acted like boomerangs to the Europe an economy.
Trump's angry remarks
Is Trump pushing for war in the Middle East?
Military power takes time to develop and and grow. It doesn't happen overnight. It usually on average it's about 10 years and so whatever you invest today will you will begin to see an impact, provided the organization changes and adapts to the new technology, in about five years. But you won't have the full impact militarily on a battlefield for perhaps another five years.
[. . .]
Britain's about to go under financially. France isn't far behind. The Germans are in a lot of trouble. It it's hard to take any of it seriously frankly. But how do you explain the bellacosity of Prime Minister Stormer has nothing to back up his bellose words with President Mcronone and even Van der Layen. How do you explain all of their condemnations and warning of fears of Russia. I think we're in a position right now where the globalist ruling class primarily in Western, but not exclusively Western Europe, is clinging tenaciously to power. We just saw Marie le Pen, I think, judged unfairly and then ridiculously placed in prison. I suspect that France is within weeks of a tremendous revolution. I don't see how they get through the summer without it. This kind of behavior is not evidence for strength. It's evidence for weakness and fear. They're going to go down fighting as far as they're concerned. The initial strategy was to try and drag us [the US] into the war that we didn't want to fight in Eastern Europe. That failed miserably. And so the next stage was either we stand up join hands and try to march into war together, or we'll simply be removed from power and it's over.

People that are familiar with history know that if you create a category of people who are treated as privileged immune and beyond the law. Effectively you you create targets and eventually it all breaks down in hatred and violence.

Once you create power in a centralized government they will always, always, act in their self interest.
