P&D Geopolitics Edition: Russo/Ukrainian War, and Donald Trump, Part II

By Rich Kozlovich, Tags: P&D Geopolitics Edition: Russo/Ukrainian War, and Donald Trump

On February 20, 2025 Victoria White Berger published this article, Oh, horrors! Trump pursues peace and tells the truth about Zelenskyy, saying:

The war machine is up and screaming. Zelenskyy is having a hissy fit for not continuing to be the absolute center of attention as Trump proceeds, diplomatically, to pursue perfectly legitimate routes to, firstly, engage the “aggressor” (Russia) in talks for peace. For the first time since the current Ukraine/Russia war began—exactly 3 years less 4 days ago—the leadership of America is speaking for the people, those being killed, and all those paying for it.

Zelenskyy is furious that America, whose taxpayers have financed “his” war, did not yet include him in the first diplomatic efforts with Russia. But this is not all about Zelenskyy, fortunately.  It most absolutely stands to reason that the peace talks, from the perspective of any historically successful diplomacy, must begin with the most powerful participant: Russia. This is Diplomacy 101.

There’s only one thing in this article I disagree with and this is “Zelenskyy’s war”. It’s Putin’s war, and his excuses for starting it are pathetic. And none of this could have happened if it wasn’t for Joe Biden stealing the election via massive voter fraud because he gave Putin carte blanche for supplying energy to Europe when he shut down all the drilling, and even started buying oil from Venezuela. That funded Putin’s war, and it put all of Europe in a bind.

However, that wouldn’t have been a problem if Europe’s leaders hadn’t gone insane, aka, green, buying into the global warming lies.   Now Europe had to buy so much more natural gas and oil from Russia. They’re either stupid or crazy. 

If the Ukrainian government hadn’t been one of, if not the most corrupt government in Europe, they could have easily provided for adequate defenses to thwart any Russian invasion.  And if there are all these wealth building natural resources there, as is being reported, why didn’t they develop them before and become a very wealthy nation, capable of buying or building a huge defense capability that would have thwarted any invasion.

Russia has been at it against Ukraine since 2014, not to mention all the other former Soviet states they've attacked, so they had to know it was coming.  Putin would have known those defensive capabilities were in place, and this would have never happened.   But you can’t corruptly line your pockets and meet the needs of the nation at the same time, and it seems perfectly clear that’s what has been happening all these years.

From the beginning my view is this is Europe’s problem, let them fix it or not, if they don’t it’s on them.  If they do, it’s still on them, we have no skin in this game.  And all this insane clabber about how the US and NATO forced him to attack is nonsense.  

NATO was set up to prevent aggression by the Soviet Union against Europe, and that was a very real threat.   But NATO, no matter who became members had no desire to attack Russia, and without US support they couldn't have beaten their way out of a wet paper bag, and Putin absolutely knew that.  This attack wasn't about depth of defense, it was about revanche, the return of the lost territory of what was the Soviet Union.  

If you’re a moral person you must feel compassion for the people of Ukraine, the same people who suffered the death of millions at Stalin’s hands, but if you’re a rational person, you must realize this isn’t our fault, nor is it our responsibility.

There's been a lot of effort by the Trump administration to bring this Russo/Ukrainian War insanity to an end, and it's also clear neither Zelenskyy or Putin want that as they're both playing games. 

Below are some of the latest articles dealing with this insanity.   Today we're told there will be peace.  Tomorrow neither Putin or Zelenskyy will sign a peace deal unless ___________ add the caveat of your choice here.   

Now there's all this talk about Europe putting boots on the ground in Ukraine, and now that Russia is using both North Korean and Chinese troops, it give Ukraine and the rest of Europe an excuse to do the same. Any talk about other countries coming to Ukraine’s aid is hot air, which Europe’s leaders are exceptionally good at. 

• U.K. to Rush Experimental Laser Weapon into Service to Deploy in Ukraine - Oliver JJ Lane Ukraine is to become a giant testing ground for a revolutionary new laser weapon which, if successful, promises to radically alter the economics of warfare, the British government says. The “sovereign” British Dragonfire laser was successfully tested at an Army range in Scotland earlier this year. Now, defence procurement rules are being changed to rush it to deployment five years early, and perhaps to the front line in Ukraine even sooner. British Defence Minister Grant Shapps said the rollout of the anti-air laser to the Royal Navy warships was being brought forward five whole years, from 2032 to 2027, but made clear it could be seeing action earlier yet...........

There will be no European troops on the ground doing any fighting, there will be little organized efforts to give them money, as Europe keeps saying they're going to finance Ukraine, but they don't seem to know where the money will be coming from, and now because Trump has put the hammer down on NATO about meeting their financial obligations, they're all investing far more money in their own national defenses, and their national debt keeps climbing.

Ukraine is running out of bodies and military supplies, a lot of which has ended up on the black market. If the US walks away, it’s over, Zelenskyy knows it, Putin knows it, Europe knows it, and Trump knows it, irrespective of all of the grandstanding by Zelenskyy and Europe's leaders against Trump.

Here was Jack Hellner's  overview of the Russo-Ukrainian war, from 2008–2025, which I thought was a good article, with excellent time lines, and clear definitions of who is who and what is what. All necessary as the Pravda media keeps trying to redefine reality and history.

There's a reason why he wasn't included in negotiations.  President Trump: It’s “Not Important” for Zelensky to be Involved in Peace Talks – “He Makes It Very Hard to Make Deals”.  Arrogant on the part of Trump?  Possibly, but Zelenskyy has demonstrated beyond any doubt he's not reliable, and the yellow jacket in your soft drink.

1.  Trump resurrects Kissinger 
2.  Trump Torches ’Dictator’ Zelensky For Opposing Peace Push 
3.  Trump Gives an Update on Russia-Ukraine Peace Talk 
4.  Analyzing the Trump/Zelensky meeting

Let's try and get this right, just once, please. Zelenskyy is a dictator.   His government was corrupt and given everything that's happened there's every indication it still is.  There's no way of knowing how many millions of dollars Biden gave to him ended up in Ukrainian officials pockets because Joe wouldn't allow that money to be tracked. How insane is that?

As you go through these posts you will see a man who can twist himself into a pretzel with his proclamations, but it seems perfectly clear nothing he says can be trusted.   And the same absolutely goes for Putin.  

1.  Zelensky Says ‘Ready’ to Resign for the Sake of Peace, NATO Membership
2.  Zelensky Offers to Resign for Peace, but There's a Catch
3.   Zelensky surrenders to Trump and will sign rare earth mineral deal within hours.
4.  WSJ broke the story, full details here.
5.  Media Fears: Could Lose If He Holds Elections
6.  Zelensky Tantrum: Cancels Peace Talks Trip
7.  No, President Zelenskyy and the EU, you don’t dictate American foreign policy
8.  No, Zelensky is not Churchill
9.  Yes, Voldemort Zelenskyy Is a Dictator
10.  Marco Rubio Confirms Snakelike Behavior of Zelensky During Negotiations and Peace Talks
11.  What Zelensky Didn’t Get
    

Is peace possible? Not now it isn't, and no matter how much effort Trump puts into bringing it about, he can't make them want peace, and that's the key, neither party wants it, nor does Europe.

1. ‘Freezing’ Ukrainian Conflict Will Not Bring Peace Both Kyiv and Moscow say they are not interested in “freezing” the conflict in Russia’s war against Ukraine. Moscow insists that any accord must address the “root causes” of the conflict, and Kyiv........
2. Is ‘Peace’ a Dirty Word?
   
3. A Possible End to the War in Ukraine 
4. Is the Ukraine war everyone's war?
5. Why Ukraine Is Cautious
6. All the Ukrainian Known Knowns

Russia is in trouble, and Putin will tolerate no dissent.  He's jailed four Russian journalists who were supporters of political rival Navalny, who he had arrested and then murdered, and he's causing trouble everywhere, and the reason why more nations joined NATO, and is causing a lot of unrest with all of their neighbors.  Belarus is now openly supporting Putin, which is positioned on Ukraine's North West border allowing for attacks behind Ukrainian forces, and Turkey is walking an economic tightrope. 

1. Russia’s Double Game in Arctic is Cooperation in Name, but Confrontation in Practice 
2. Sweden’s SÄPO Reports that Russia is Evolving Sabotage Tactics
3. Ukrainian War Unsettles Russian Regions and Non-Russian Republics
4. Russia Uses Black Sea Ceasefire Talks to Regain Former Hegemony

This war has impacted Russia negatively at many levels.  Internally ethnic enclaves are spreading across Russia, in effect they're saying they're not Russian, and that's scaring Putin, but he has serious economic issues he can't resolve while continuing this war, and what Putin's seeing play out is the central Asian nations are now doing far more business with China than in the past, and that's going to grow.  

1. Global Trade War Does Not Diminish Pressure on Russia to End Its War
2. China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan Railway Emerges as Competitor to Kazakhstan’s Rail Network

I thought this was an interesting piece by Jordan Schachtel, Washington's $300 billion dilemma, saying:

 

 What are the implications of stealing hundreds of billions of dollars from Russia? After the onset of Russia’s invasion into Ukraine, western powers responded with haste to impose a plethora of sanctions against Moscow, hoping to use the dollar as an economic weapon to strike back against the Kremlin’s kinetic activities in Ukraine.   Two years ago on this very day, the Biden Administration’s Treasury Department moved to freeze hundreds of billions of dollars in Russian assets that are held in the United States. The number held by the U.S. and European powers is estimated today to amount to $300 billion.

 

Interesting information, and I thought it worthwhile to highlight it, but it seems clear to me he's a Putin apologist, and Putin apologists just irritate me.

 

Conclusion?  It seems to me at some point Trump is going realize he's wasting his time, and say, I've had it.  No more money and no more negotiations.  Letting Europe, Zelenskyy, and Putin know, they're all on their own.

Another shake it out week.  We have the at one point Trump managing to get both Putin and Zelenskyy preparing for a truce, and then out of nowhere Putin dumps any concept of a ceasefire and launches a massive bombing raid.  Dealing with these lunatics must really be tiresome, but there's more in the background.  

 

No matter what you're reading, Putin's in trouble, and now he's having difficulties with his oligarchs, and for those who aren't aware of it, Russia is in reality an oligarchy, in many ways like Czarist Russia and their nobility.  It's these oligarchs who keep the country running, and they want the war over.  His economy is heading South, Trump is going to add more economic restrictions on Russia if he continues to squash a peace deal.  While it's true that Ukraine lost, it's also true Russia didn't win.  The number 2 military in the world hasn't been able to defeat the number 22 military in the world in three years.   And I have no idea why Trump is backing off on dealing with Russian cyber attacks, I think that's nuts. 

Trump has told NATO to pay up, or else, and guess what? The EU is putting a 800 billion euro defense plan in place.  Germany wants to overhaul their defense spending policies, the European Commission wants to borrow 150 billion Euros for "missile defense, artillery, drones, cybersecurity and more"...... all of which sounds great....but there's more.   They have no idea where that money is coming from, Slovakia is threatening to block financial aid to Ukraine, and Hungary is objecting to the verbiage in the agreement, and any new military aid.

So, if anyone had questions as to why Trump refuses to involved the EU states, and Zelenskyy and his "government" in the negotiations, this should help to dispel that confusion.  And a celebrated Ukrainian journalist wants Trump assassinated.   Personally, I say let them fight it out, and let Europe enter in or not.  Europe no longer matters.

There's no fixing stupid, and we need to leave NATO since it was created to prevent the Soviet Union from conquering Europe.  The Soviet Union no longer exists, and now we know the Russian military bear is just a Teddy Bear, and Europe has nothing to fear. Let's take our marbles and go home, and I think that's in the works as Trump is bringing 35,000 American troops home from Germany, and tell Europe to shove it.  They no longer matter, Europe is heading from a second rate continent to a third rate continent.  The cold war is over, and they're no longer the center of geopolitical concern.  It's shifting to the Middle East, and Trump has made it clear, ‘Not a Single Hamas Member Will Be Safe if You Don’t Do as I Say’.

The Democrats are nuts, as Trump address to Congress demonstrated, and now there are questions being asked whether or not Biden actually was signing documents, or even knew about them.  And given the strange people he pardoned and nominated for critical roles in the judiciary, I don't believe he had any idea about a lot that was going on.  Even Speaker Johnson acknowledged Biden wasn't aware of an executive order he allegedly signed.  And now there are those who are asking could laws “signed” by Dementia Joe be voided?  Personally, I think that's a stretch to believe that can happen. 

It's my contention the Federal government is filled with people who have a treasonous mindset. The FBI has arrested two individuals for selling classified material to China, and those who've been leaking information about immigration raids, has been identified, and if convicted face up to ten years in prison.   And they're not just in the federal government. 

Not all illegal aliens need to be arrested and deported.  Some are self deporting, like the one who was an aide for Alexandria Ocrazio-Cortex. And while I don't know for sure, it seems to me there's every indication she was aware of it, and if that's true, then she's committed a crime. 

Democrat run cities are a disaster, and the sanctuary cities are even worse.  Congress has made it clear that's unacceptable, as Democratic mayors were rebuked in Congress over immigration stance, and now twenty states are suing the federal government for firing so many people. Why?  It will adversely impact their economy.  What about what's good for the nation?

The price of eggs is high because we're insanely following Biden's policy to slaughter 150 million chickens”,.....“They spent billions of dollars randomly killing chickens within a perimeter where they found a sick chicken.”

Trump purged the leftist management at the Kennedy Center and a lot of celebrities pumped their chests and proclaimed with great moral indignation they refused to appear there any longer.  Well, who cares?  Now Trump has appointed Laura Ingraham, Maria Bartiromo to the Kennedy Center board, and I've no doubt the new board will find great entertainment, and an audience that enjoys it.  These celebrities still don't get it.  They don't count. 

And finally, Transgender Americans are leaving the country.  Wow!  I guess that means we're doomed.  Right?  Except perhaps this woman may not think so.  I think that's a story that needs watching.  Transgender people are permanent patients, and to maintain the gender image they desire requires expensive chemistry, and medical care.  So it will be interesting to see just how well they fare elsewhere, especially in nations that are being consumed by Muslim immigrants, have socialized medicine, or are having serious economic issues. 

 

I'm planning on addressing an issue that's not being focused on nearly as much as it should be.  Judicial overreach.  

So many decisions by SCOTUS over the last century undermined the Constitutional structure but it was understood there needed to be a general attitude of acceptance in order to have a stable government.   That’s now out of control, as the courts are now more arrogantly than ever usurping the power of the Legislative, and the Executive branches.

The fact is, the federal judiciary has no Constitutional enforcement power, that belongs “exclusively” to the Executive branch. The courts cannot force the President or the Congress to do anything. The Executive has the power force the Legislative to follow the law, but not the courts.  If the Executive, the President of the United States, tells the judiciary to shove it, they can't do a thing about it.  Only the Congress can, and that's via impeachment.  But if Trump did that and was impeached, he'd win, and any Republican who voted for his impeachment will not be able to hold their seat in either House. Even the RINO’s can see the storm on the horizon over the weaponization and politicization of the legal system, and it’s going to be a hurricane. 

A Constitutional confrontation with the judiciary is long overdue. The Congress and the President need to undo the failure of the founding fathers, lifetime appointments, and failing to define exactly what the responsibilities and limits of the federal judiciary are. The Constitution gives the Congress the right to determine their jurisdiction. Judicial supremacy is a myth created by the judiciary, and it’s time to end that permanently with a Constitutional Amendment.

In this week's edition I have nine commentaries of my own, and I think they're pretty good, and sixteen from others.   Some of the authors I regularly publish have views I really don't agree with, whether it's economics or social commentary, so I don't publish those pieces, and for some reason there was a lot of that this week.

Have a great weekend, and best wishes, 

Rich

Constant as the North Star

This Game Has a New Dealer

By Rich Kozlovich

 

Trump has been negotiating with Putin to bring this Russo/Ukrainian War to an end, and he's calling it, “Zelenskyy’s war”.  That's just nuts, this is Putin’s war, and his excuses for starting it are pathetic. And none of this could have happened if it wasn’t for Joe Biden stealing the election via massive voter fraud, which I happily substantiate with My Voter Fraud Commentaries.  As a result of his insane energy policies shutting down production, even buying oil from Venezuela, that gave Putin carte blanche to supply energy to Europe.  That funded Putin’s war.  

However, that wouldn’t have been a problem if Europe’s leaders hadn’t gone insane, aka, green, and bought into the Net Zero global warming lies leaving them vulnerable to Russian energy supplies.   They’re either stupid, crazy..... or .... I opt for both.

If the Ukrainian government hadn’t been one of, if not the most corrupt government in Europe, they could have easily provided for adequate defenses to thwart any Russian invasion. And if there are all these wealth building natural resources there, as is being reported, why didn’t they develop them long before this and become a very wealthy nation?  A nation capable of buying or building a huge defensive capacity that would have thwarted any invasion.

Russia has been at this since 2014 they had to know it was coming, and Putin would have known those defensive capabilities were in place, and this would have never happened. But you can’t corruptly line your pockets and meet the needs of the nation at the same time, and it seems perfectly clear that’s what has been happening all these years.

From the beginning my view is this is Europe’s problem, let them fix it or not, if they don’t it’s on them. If they do, it’s still on them, we have no skin in this game. If you’re a moral person you must feel compassion for the people of Ukraine, the same people who suffered the death of millions at Stalin’s hands, but if you’re a rational person, you must realize Ukraine isn't our fault, nor is it our responsibility!  All this talk about Europe sending troops there …. well …. it’s too late now.

As for all these demands by Europe that America keep sending untraceable billions and even putting boots on the ground, well, that just ain’t gonna happen.

Ukraine is lost, no matter what deal is struck.  Bretton Woods is over, we don’t have the money, and a great many of us don’t have the desire, to bail them out, nor care what happens to Europe.  It's time for America to cut the umbilical cord for Europe's defense, and I don't care how hysterical they get over the positions taken by Vice President Vance and Secretary of Defense Hegseth.   They no longer have a say, they're incapable of coming to the table with any worthwhile solutions.

On Monday French President Emmanuel Macron hosted an emergency summit of selected continental leaders, which generated abundant kvetching but little more.   Ukraine and its European advocates warn of a new Dark Age if the U.S. makes peace with Russia, as President Donald Trump is trying to do. Even worse, NATO members fear the loss of their heretofore presumed birthright to defense by America. Governments which have repeatedly claimed that Kiev’s defeat would invite a reformed Red Army to march to the Atlantic are preparing new excuses for failing to spend more on defense. The spectacle resembles a theatrical farce.

For decades they’ve arrogantly and stupidly looked down their noses at the nation that spent untold gallons of blood and trillions of dollars to save them during two world wars and one cold war. A continent that would crash economically overnight if we ended all trade with them. And these snots think they have a right to tell us what’s acceptable?   

 

Zelensky’s says he won't accept any deal in which he's not a party to ...... says the man who ended elections in Ukraine in order to stay in power..... well....okay with me.... you're on your own.  But he faces a disgruntled population that's fleeing Ukraine, and a military force that badly depleted and can't be replaced, inadequate arms, much of which has ended up on the black market, he has no resources he can use and his infrastructure is largely destroyed.  Well.... good luck with that.   

 

Let's also understand this whole thing:

1. There are no good guys in this mess.
2. Both Zelenskyy and Putin are corrupt beyond belief tyrants.
   
3. Putin is most assuredly a murderous thug and if he's ever kicked out, he's dead, and he knows it. 
4. Europe is a spent force that has embraced every insanity there is that’s destroying their nations, their culture, and their economy, and it won’t be long before the EU collapses and it’s a toss up which will go belly up first, France, Italy, or Greece.   Europe is doomed, and I don’t care, since their doom is coming about the “old fashioned way, they earned it”. 
5. As for Russia and China, when the EU crashes, they’ll be following right behind them. 
6. Trump knows no matter what happens, Russia loses, China loses, Ukraine loses, Europe  loses.....and we win.  

We don't need them, they need us.

The Israel/Hamas/Hezbollah/Iran War, the Russo/Ukraine War, and More

By Rich Kozlovich

For years I've been busy explaining to the world what they're doing wrong, and they just refuse listen to the bugman. Imagine that!   Let's start with:

 

The Israel/Hamas/Hezbollah/Iran War.

 

The reality of Islam is unending conflict, within and outside of Islam.  The current open war with Israel is an example.  Iranians are Shiite Muslims as are Hezbollah and Hamas are Sunni Muslims, and they hate each other.  Which is why some claim that explains why no one came to Hamas' support at the initial onslaught of this war, which seems clear they expected.  Who knows, but Muslims operate on a different set of values than the rest of the world, including their dealings with each other.  

 

When others stab their friends in the back, they know that's what they're doing, no matter what excuses and justifications they may offer.  When Muslims stab others in the back, they recognize no moral ambiguity, as in some way they'll claim what their doing is based on the Koran, and they're gaining merit with Allah. 

Israel is now more united behind Netanyahu, but given Israel's political and social structure that can change overnight, but it's clear Israel is fighting on seven fronts.  That's a war of survival, and Israel will have to destroy these groups, and at some point attack Iran, and make clear any nation that harbors and abets these monsters are at war with Israel, and may be attacked.  I find it interesting the media, the Democrats, all leftists, and Iran condemn Israel as "terrorists" for using exploding pagers to take out a lot of terrorists, but these are the same people who danced at the vile disgusting crimes Hamas committed against innocent Israeli civilians, as Daniel Greenfield notes: Rape is Resistance and Beepers are Genocide. 

 

All of a sudden they're decrying the "breakdown of international law", which never seemed to bother them when all these terrorists rained down missiles on Israeli civilians, which actually has gone on for decades. 

 

It doesn't seem to bother them that Iran has declared a war against Israel but they've declared war without officially declaring war, and the UN, that "vile wretched hive of scum and villainy", says nothing about it, making it clear they want Israel destroyed and are now demanding Jews must leave Jerusalem.   Since there's no appeasing them, other than committing suicide, Israel will now openly ignore them, and rightly so, attacking all their adversaries on all fronts, with no holds barred.

 

"U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres told the Security Council Wednesday. "An all-out war must be avoided at all costs. It would surely be an all-out catastrophe."    Okay, and that catastrophe will be for whom?   It's clear these cease fire nitwits know the catastrophe will be for the terrorist movements and Iran.  And that's bad why?

 

Israel has picked up the gauntlet, but they're not going to duel on their adversaries terms, but on their terms, and that will be with the understanding there can be no peace with Islam....ever.  Any Abraham Accord style agreements that may come into being if Trump is elected are mere respites, and Israel should embrace them, all the while undermining any adversaries, and preparing for the next assault.

 

Israel must become less dependent on the US since one of the political parties is an antisemitic ogre. This is a forever war, and it's high time that was emphasized, and state clearly Israel is not the real target. Western civilization is the target, Israel is the canary in the coal mine.  Muslims have been murdering innocent people for almost 1500 years, and it's time we stopped excusing them.

Western Europe is lost.  In Lyon the Muslim population is 30% and now the French are so afraid to offend them they're bending to Sharia law and rules.  Israel is where America has skin in the game, not Europe.  It's my hope if Trump is elected he will stop funding the UN, and that's long over due.  

 

At this point there are only three European nations immune to a Muslim conversion.  Poland, Hungary, and Russia.  Three traditional historical enemies who may have to converge in order to survive the conversion of the rest of Europe.Think about that.  Poland may save Europe again.

 

But Europe is a spent force, and can only survive as Europeans if they abandon the UN, seriously restructure the EU, declare the WEF a criminal organization, and that Islam isn't a religion but a criminal political movement masquerading as a religion, and have mass deportations, and if necessary, revoking citizenship of Muslims.  In short, they will have to do what Spain did after the Reconquista.  That's history, and that history is incontestable.

 

History is everything as the patterns of life play out over and over again, and I've often wondered if any of these highly educated nitwits in leadership roles ever read a history book. As for those who have, like Henry Kissinger, the Tallyrand of the 20th century, did they care?  "Ideology makes smart people stupid."

 

Let's Review the Russo/Ukrainian War. 

 

I read a lot of clabber about the Russo/Ukraine War, and often times I see insane claims Putin didn't have a choice, it was the fault of America, Ukraine, Europe, and it never seems to end the number of people they point their fingers at in order to justify Putin's aggression. 

Let's try and get this right, no matter how many side bars are presented, this falls on Putin!  He chose to attack.  Having said that, while having compassion for the Ukrainian people, I don't care what happens to Ukraine as a nation.

This is a failure of Biden and his energy policies that funded this invasion, the stupidity of European leaders and their energy policies, and the stunning corruption of Ukrainian leadership who failed to proper fund arming themselves instead of funding their own bank accounts.  But it was Putin who chose to make this a shooting war. 

Ukraine's government was and is corrupt, and perhaps if they were allowed to have the election Zelenskyy prevented things might be different. Who knows, but either way, none of this is our fault, nor is it our responsibility.

We're throwing away billions on Ukraine, none of which the Biden administration tracked, nor would they allow it to be tracked, in order to support Europe.  All of which is wasted money as Europe is a doomed spent force, and we no longer have skin in that game, and yet they're quibbling over millions for Israel where we really do have skin in that game. There's where the real enemy of western civilization is in play.

Will Putin use nukes? I put this in a 60/40 "no" category as he has a lot of dissent behind the scenes, and I'm still convinced there's a von Stauffenberg contingent in his military. If he attempts to use nukes, he could be out, and survival is his primary goal now, but he still can't let loose of this insane war HE started. When Caesar fails or appears weak, he's not Caesar much longer.

However, if he does use nukes will there be a European nuclear response? I'm 100 % convinced the answer is no. Does anyone really believe Europe is willing to sacrifice Warsaw, Berlin, Paris, and London in a nuclear exchange over Ukraine?

How will this end? I've been convinced Ukraine can't win simply because they don't have enough boots on the ground. Many have fled, and many resent Zelenskyy and his coterie. But Putin's coterie is so blatantly incompetent this has gone on shockingly long, and what we're seeing is the break out for the wars of the future.  Drones and lasers. 

Putin and Zelenskyy should both hope Trump is elected, as I think he will find a way to resolve this, with no one being happy, which should be the goal. 

Long term consequences? 

Russia is toast as a world shaker.   They can't even manufacture the military hardware they need as they're buying military hardware from Iran and N. Korea.  The EU will collapse, Russia and China will go broke, and the world will be facing what historians call a historical end cycle, which always involved massive economic downturns and violence before a new cycle begins.

Based on history, I'm not optimistic.

Definition Leads to Clarity

Let's take a minute to review terms that are thrown around that actually end up confusing the world about who and what these politicos are, and why they make the decisions that make. 

Left, right, conservatives, liberals, and socialists, all are being used a lot to define characters around the world, and that's especially true of Europe after the recent elections, which has "the left" fearing "the right" is taking over.  Well, that's not exactly the way things are. 

When talking about classical liberals it should be realized they no longer exist, and in fact, Republicans come closest.

Leftists in the late 19th and early 20th century didn't dare call themselves socialists in America because socialism is foundationally atheistic, and that didn't play well in America. So, they called themselves progressives, then liberals, then back to progressives. But now they so deeply entrenched in America's institutions, they're boldly calling themselves socialists, and that justifies their antisemitism, violence, lies, corruption, and what can hardly be called anything less than treason. 

 

Having said all that, it's important to understand conservatism is cultural and the differences in different cultures. Currently, our concern is understanding what it means in America, so we can understand what it means in Europe. Their newly embraced "rightist" views isn't conservatism as we know it, but, is in my opinion a mixed bag of mild socialism and nationalism. They remind me of libertarians. No one knows what they really believe, including libertarians.

Truth be told, the only political party in America that knows what it believes are the Democrats. They know they hate America, Americans, capitalism, and the Constitution.  Which explains why they support terrorists, criminals, illegal migration, high taxes, burdensome regulations, and the murder of the innocent unborn. 

That's the world as I see it, and it ain't pretty.
