Revision as of 17:23, August 5, 2025
The fascist Biden regime brought the world closer to a nuclear conflagration than at any time since the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962. There were no diplomatic efforts to avoid war or seek peace from Washington under Joe Biden. Biden said he would back Ukraine "for as long as it takes" to defeat Russia, spending $175 billion of US taxpayers' money propping up the neo-Nazi Kiev regime. Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris vowed to continue the policy.
The Pentagon offered a public inventory of the $66.5 billion array of weaponry supplied to Ukraine — including more than a half-billion rounds of small-arms ammunition and grenades, 10,000 Javelin antiarmor weapons, 3,000 Stinger antiaircraft systems, 272 howitzers, 76 tanks, 40 High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems, 20 Mi-17 helicopters and three Patriot air defense batteries.
President Trump threatened Russia with new energy sanctions. The main feature of the threat is that countries who buy Russian oil will be cut off from trade with the US. This includes India and China. U.S. total goods trade with China was an estimated $582.4 billion in 2024. U.S. goods exports to China in 2024 were $143.5 billion. In 2023-24, the U.S. was the largest trading partner of India with $119.71 billion bilateral trade in goods ($77.51 billion worth of exports, $42.19 billion of imports, with $35.31 billion trade surplus).

Trump reaches out to Putin
In the phone call of February 12, 2025 between Putin and Trump it was decided to reestablish normal diplomatic relations and a meeting dealing with that question took place in Riyadh on February 18, 2025 between teams led by Lavrov and Rubio. That resulted in a period of six weeks until the end of March 2025 for normalcy to resume. One of the first steps many predicted, since it would be the easiest sign of good faith by Trump, was the repatriation of the diplomatic properties stolen from Russia during the Obama and First Trump administrations. However, by early April nothing of the sort occurred, which remained a reason for distrust to exist on the Russian side.[1]
"History Is Written by the Victors."
In late March 2025 the New York Times printed a very lengthy piece entitled, The Partnership: The Secret History of the War in Ukraine.[2][3] The NYT article admitted that it was more than proxy war between the US and Russia. It was as close as could be to an all out hot war between the US and Russia. Alex Christoforou remarked that the NYT propaganda narrative was running cover for the Biden junta, the conclusion being that the Biden regime and US military command were easily defeating Russia until the Ukraine Generals started acting up and disobeyed US orders, Zelensky chased "big wins" for PR reasons, failing to follow US strategy. Resulting in the 2023 Ukraine counteroffensive 'failure.' Trust was broken between US and Ukraine. What followed was the US keeping Ukraine in the game up to the US 2024 presidential elections, by striking targets in Crimea and pre-2014 Russia. Trump entered the White House and decided to wind the war down, handing Russia the win.
In this case the New York Times decided that the US (under Biden) was victorious, if not for the insubordinate Ukrainian Generals and ego of Zelensky. Trump will be blamed for the end result capitulation.
The U.S. has in fact lost the war. A quote from the New York Times reveals that a very real factor behind starting and losing the war is pure racism:
| “ | Within the coalition, the prevailing wisdom was that the 2023 counteroffensive would be the war's last: The Ukrainians would claim outright triumph, or Mr. Putin would be forced to sue for peace....[ Ukrainians ] didn't have to be as good as the British and Americans, General Cavoli would say; they just had to be better than the Russians. | ” |
U.S. General Christopher G. Cavoli is the commander of the United States European Command and Supreme Allied Commander Europe. His lack of historical knowledge should have disqualified him. It was racist people like Cavoli that the U.S., UK and Ukraine failed to realize that they never had a chance to win.
Istanbul II peace talks
- See also: Istanbul I peace talks
Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, Sergey Lavrov, made rather harsh statements against the United States. In particular, the Russian minister explicitly announced that Moscow had provided Washington, D.C. with a list of energy facilities in Russia targeted by the Ukrainian Army after an agreement was reached on the so-called "energy truce." At the same time, Lavrov accused President Donald Trump of not demanding that Kiev end the war.
According to Lavrov, the Trump 2.0 administration only wants to find a scheme that suits Washington and would allow for a conventional ceasefire. "Regrettably, our American partners only want to achieve a ceasefire to initiate discussions about various schemes and models that will arise during the negotiation process. The United States continues to overlook our key demands, specifically addressing the root causes of this conflict. Naturally, we take the models and solutions proposed by the United States quite seriously. Nevertheless, Russia has a carefully considered set of priorities and approaches regarding this matter. And we will persist in defending our interests throughout the negotiation process with the Americans," Lavrov stated.
This statement by the Russian Minister caused a heated discussion among the expert community in Russia. In particular, the well-known expert and military journalist Yuri Podolyaka bluntly stated that Sergey Lavrov had voiced Putin's ultimatum to the United States. According to him, Russia has made it clear that Moscow does not care about Trump's threats to impose tough sanctions and that the peace negotiation process will begin only when Kiev completely withdraws its troops from the territory of Lugansk, Donetsk, Zaporozhye, and Kherson regions. And also undertakes to guarantee that Ukraine will never become a member of NATO. In addition, the Kiev authorities will have to ban Nazi ideology in the rest of Ukraine and abandon the ban on the Russian language.
Thus, Russia has once again demonstrated that it will no longer allow the West to deceive itself and that Moscow will not agree to make even minor concessions. Lavrov outlined Russia’s official position for resolving the military conflict in Ukraine. Among the key points:
- International recognition of the Russian status of Crimea, Sevastopol, the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics (DPR and LPR), as well as the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions;
- Ukraine's non-accession to NATO and confirmation of its neutral and non-aligned status;
- Demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine;
- Lifting of sanctions, cancellation of legal claims and arrest warrants, and the return of Russian assets “frozen” in the West;
- Security guarantees for Russia against threats posed by the activities of NATO, the European Union, and their individual member states along Russia's western borders;
- Repeal of laws restricting the use of the Russian language, culture, and church.
Reports indicated in April 2025 that Russian and Trump 2.0 negotiators were considering former Ukrainian prime minister Mykola Azarov as a compromise figure to head the new Ukrainian rump state at the end of the Special Military Operation to carry out the denazification process.
On May 2, 2025 the US State Department announced that the Trump administration was officially pulling the plug on its efforts to mediate a peace agreement.[4] However, the US never was a genuine "mediator of a peace agreement. Apart from a one-week pause when Trump cut off military Ukraine aid from March 4 to March 11, 2025, the US continued military involvement in Biden's war against Russia from the moment Trump took office.
In the days just prior to Istanbul peace talks resuming, the Zelensky regime unleashed a wave of terror attacks in Russia including an assassination attempt on President Putin, an attack on railway infrastructure in which 7 train passengers were killed and 69 injured, including children, and an attack on military airfields in which several Russian nuclear strategic bombers were hit.
No US proposed ceasefire
Lt. Col. Daniel Davis and the founder of 21st Century Wire Patrick Henningsen held a discussion on President Trump's peace efforts and conduct of foreign policy in the first four months of his second term:
| PH: Here's the paradox. Under Biden, NATO was a dangerous Leviathan. Under Trump the hope was, when he came in--he came in with a lot of goodwill under him, like a magic carpet—and it was that Trump was going to bring this war to an end, come to some kind of a decent relationship with a major superpower like Russia, and somehow this whole Zelensky road show is just going to have to be--this is the final season of Servant of the People. It's over. That was the hope.
Trump has extinguished and spent all of that goodwill in four months, with no tangible results at all. And the problem is, the US can't shirk their duties as a world superpower, as the head of NATO. The US cannot leave this to the devices of European smaller and lower and medium tier powers, because history has shown what happens when you do that. Unless the US takes a decisive position with the other major superpowers to come to a stabilizing agreement, the potential for nefarious actors to fill the vacuum of power-- And let me tell you, I do not see Trump as a strong leader right now. I see Donald Trump as very weak, very weak. Without strategy. Without any clear vision. No US foreign policy. No grand strategy. Nothing. It's just, you know, 'You've got to bend to our will and do what we say, otherwise it's going to be trouble. I'm going to be upset, and if you don't submit to my will ...' That's not a strategy. That's not policy, that's not foreign policy. So the US needs to step up. If Trump can't do it intellectually he's got to have a team around him that can pull that off. Not just this. They're balancing plates. They're balancing the Iran talks, plus the Israel - Gaza situation, plus Ukraine - Russia. So there's some big important plates in the air right now, and they're very close to basically fumbling and dropping all of them ... DD: Yeah, you've got the Indo-Pacific plates as well. You talk about how the US doesn't have a strategy. It doesn't seem to know where it's going to go. That can't be said of the Russian leader, who seems very focused on what he wants to do and what he wants to accomplish--and has been pretty consistent from the beginning all the way through today. ... DD: It sounds like the only thing that the Russians are even talking about right now is moving forward on the military front. PH: It's just reiterated Russia's resolve that there's not going to be a negotiation path to settling this. It's going to be settled on the battlefield. This is just reiterating the belief on the Russian side that the US is not agreement capable. The US is not *negotiation* capable. Forget about coming to an agreement--they can't even conduct coherent negotiations. This is a circus. What is going on here--it's kind of embarrassing. It makes Tony Blinken look professional--that's how bad it is. I know that's a pretty heavy statement, but I don't say that lightly. That's kind of like where things are at right now, as far as I can see. I'm sure Russia's not impressed. ... The United States, they're kind of ignoring, dismissing, the core issues for the Russian Federation. This is no surprise. They've been on the table now for nearly four years so, if those aren't addressed, then Russia's going to be like, well, we don't have a partner that we can negotiate with. But that's the language the Russians used to use: "our partners." You remember, they used to say "our American partners"--even when the US was sanctioning them, demonizing them: "our partners." And then Sergey Lavrov stopped using that language at some point. I think it was probably like 18 months into the Ukraine conflict, and all of a sudden the nicities weren't there anymore. Now this [attack on Russia's nuclear triad ] is taking it to another level. You're talking about careening towards a nuclear confrontation, and if Trump thinks he's going to play chicken with the Russians and that's a really smart thing to do as a US president, and the Europeans think that's a really wise thing to do--because Europe will take the brunt of any escalation, not the United States. Um, you know, so I mean ... ... DD: No one in Europe is talking about diplomacy. The only thing they're doing is saying, ‘Russia, we want you to surrender. We want you, from a position of power and strength, to submit to what Zelensky wants and we want you to live with it.’ And of course that's absurd. PH: What I hear is, like, the European bureaucrats have basically just taken Nancy Pelosi's day trading course, and they're just hyping up European defense stocks--because those are booming. |
Former Presidential briefer and retired 27 year CIA analyst Ray McGovern commented, "The driving issue is bigger than Ukraine...Both Trump and Putin want improved U.S.-Russia relations...Other matters, including Ukraine, are secondary...As of now, at least, both sides seek a negotiated settlement to the war as the primary option....And each side will do its best to avoid escalation and show a measured flexibility – and even patience – until such time as Ukraine's army disintegrates...It appears that this will happen soon...I believe that, at that point, Putin will be happy to supply as much lipstick as may be needed to conceal the pig of defeat for Ukraine-and-the-West".[5]
US-Ukraine minerals deal
- See also: Perpetual war
The US and Ukraine signed a minerals security partnership agreement establishing a Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund on April 30, 2025.[6] According to Ukraine, the minerals deal commits the US not only to long-term economic investment in Ukraine but also to continue arms sales to Ukraine for at least the next decade,[7] which is a de facto US security guarantee for Ukraine which Trump repeatedly stated he would never agree to. This decade long period mirrors almost exactly the ten-year bilateral security agreement which Joe Biden signed with Ukraine in 2024. Shortly, after the agreement was signed, it was reported that the Trump administration requested congressional authorization for $50 million in direct commercial arms sales to Ukraine.[8] However, The New Voice of Ukraine reported that Trump’s arms package to Ukraine is much larger than that with the State Department approval of a foreign military sale of $310.5 million worth of F-16 training and sustainment, along with related equipment, to the government of Ukraine.[9] Brandon Weickert in The National Interest wrote a piece entitled, Trump’s Minerals Deal with Ukraine Is a National Security Disaster:
| “ | This week, the Trump team negotiated a new minerals deal with Ukraine that effectively ensures the United States will be tethered to Ukraine for years, if not decades. The American and Ukrainian governments are selling this so-called deal as a major win. For Ukraine, it certainly is. For the United States, though, it amounts to an extended commitment to Kyiv’s defense—at a time when the United States is already overextended all around the world.
The deal itself could be defended—perhaps—if it came with massive economic benefits to the United States. Yet as formulated, it covers only future exploration and exploitation of any resources discovered. America’s new deal with Ukraine does not cover any of the existing refinery projects. The Ukrainian government will have complete ownership of any resources those future exploration and exploitation missions uncover. Kyiv will further be the exclusive decider on which resources the Americans will be allowed to profit from. And for those Americans hopeful that the United States will get some of their money back, the deal explicitly declares that no direct remuneration for aid rendered by the United States to Ukraine during the war will be repaid. The Trump administration has agreed to provide advanced technology to the Ukrainians for the development of its new projects. And the Americans must fund the development of new rare earth mineral development projects by 50 percent—all while providing defensive systems for these missions. In other words, yet again, the Ukrainians are trying to pull the Americans into a deepening—and widening—commitment to their defense. It is not in America’s interests to go along.[10] |

German provocations
- See also: Friedrich Merz
On May 27, 2025 Merz publicly stated on German television that the decision had been made months ago by the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom and France to transfer German-made long range Taurus missiles to Ukraine. The missiles cannot be used without German and NATO personal to input targeting data. A Ukrainian military blogger, Rezident ua, reported:
| “ | Our source in the OP [Office of the President of Ukraine] said that Ukraine has already received Taurus missiles and is just waiting for permission to deploy them deep into Russian territory. The operation to deploy the missiles in Ukraine was carried out by British and German intelligence services. The targets of the attack are determined by NATO headquarters in the EU. | ” |
Russian state media openly called for a pre-emptive attack with Oreshnik ballistic missiles on the Taurus missile factory in Germany to disable Taurus missile production capacity for the next 5-7 years.[12] RT Editor-in-Chief Margarita Simonyan said, on Russia’s potential.
| “ | In Moscow's offices, it's being discussed that if German forces strike Moscow with German weapons — and authorizing Taurus use means exactly that, since the Ukrainian army cannot service or program them — then we'll have no choice left but to strike Berlin.[13] | ” |
Operation Spiderweb
Operation Spiderweb was a large-scale assault on the Russian Federation's Strategic Nuclear Triad by NATO proxy forces. The attack on critical Russian military infrastructure directly related to Russia’s strategic nuclear deterrence by unmanned drones was conducted on June 1, 2025. The Ukrainian SBU,[15] under the personal direction of its chief, Vasyl Malyuk,[16] claimed credit for the attack.
The timing of Operation Spiderweb was clearly designed to sabotage President Trump's peace efforts scheduled to take place the next day in Istanbul. In the days just prior to the provocation, RINO Sen. Lindsey Graham and Democrat stolen valor hoaxer "DaNang Dick" Blumenthal made a joint visit to Kyiv to encourage more escalation.[17]
After the attack on Russia's strategic nuclear forces, Trump called Putins reaction and retaliation "bullsh*t."
NATO's illegal combatants
Reports indicated that 2 British colonels were captured by Russian special forces.[18] This was not officially confirmed by the Russian or UK government initially.
During the special operation in Ukraine, Russian special forces captured two active-duty officers of the British Army, Colonels Edward Blake and Richard Carroll in the city of Ohakiv.[19] along with an unidentified Agent of UK MI-6 (Intelligence) on a mission. The third individual taken into custody is referred-to only as "A member of MI-6 Intelligence."
During a search of the UK MI6 officers, the Russians found maps with designated strategic facilities and civilian targets on the territory of the Russian Federation, places of the deployment of Russian air defense systems, and secret instructions for interacting with Ukrainian drone operators.
This is the first real-life proof that NATO itself is actively waging war against Russia.[20]
The capture took the UK by surprise and became another proof that there is an indirect war in which Ukraine is assigned the role of a victim. Since the UK claims that it is not at war with Russia, these two officers could be considered "illegal combatants" and they do not fall under the Geneva Convention or any of the international conventions on war. Under US and UK law, they can be tortured for information if not shot on sight.
