It appears to be blackmail to me.

Trump and Putin have struck up a deal. I am relieved the Canadian Prime Minister met with President Zelenskyy yesterday.

There is always a chance it isn’t and Putin could just be his usual evil self. But, here is a larger picture. 

Obviously, if Zelenskyy weakens his resolve and gives Putin his wishes then the Russian assault will stop. But, every free world country knows it is a pause in Putin’s long term goals. If there is a pause in Russia’s struggle now, it will be more than a pause but a reprieve to rebuild to his goal of an advancing nightmare in the future.

But.

What of Trump’s Western Hemisphere goals?

And.

Is the free world asking too much if Ukraine?

Ukraine’s fate has always been its own facing a border with Russia and Europe is never a clear way forward. The people of Ukraine have spoken over and over again with clear choices. We have an ally with them for all the reasons the other Post Soviet countries are allies. There simply is this insane game because Ukraine was seeking peace with Russia while the other Post Soviet states built their dreams and moved forward. Putin was never going to give up Ukraine for all the reasons Ukraine is a powerful country all by itself. Ukraine engaged in a war of attrition. That is important.

As to Trump. Simple. Yes? Mexico is China’s life blood of its economy and Canada and Greenland is NATO. Who wins when Trump takes control? Russia. It will then be pivotal to an economically disadvantaged China and  smaller NATO. 

Spoken or not. Written or not. Budapest.

South America? It is a completed picture to unlimited military recruits and economies only built on crypto. 

Who wins? Greed under the guise of military dominance leading to world control by a global cartel of greed merchants casting all less fortunate into economic slavery and poverty.

Why?

The USA is already the last great Superpower.

Trump isn’t king.
