President Trump spoke Wednesday with Russian President Vladimir Putin and said the two agreed to “start negotiations immediately” about the war in Ukraine.
Trump posted on Truth Social that he had a “lengthy and highly productive phone call” with Putin. It is the first publicly disclosed phone call between the two men since Trump took office. Trump said they discussed Ukraine, the Middle East, energy, artificial intelligence, the dollar and other topics.
“But first, as we both agreed, we want to stop the millions of deaths taking place in the War with Russia/Ukraine,” Trump wrote. “President Putin even used my very strong Campaign motto of, ‘COMMON SENSE.’ We both believe very strongly in it. We agreed to work together, very closely, including visiting each other’s Nations.”
Trump said the two leaders agreed to have their teams begin negotiations on bringing an end to the war in Ukraine, which began roughly three years ago when Russian forces invaded the country and in that time seen a generation of Ukrainian men wiped out and most of that country's infrastructure destroyed.
Trump spoke with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky a short time after he got off the phone with Putin.
new defence secretary ripped up decades of foreign policy when he told European allies they must now look after their own defence.
Pete Hegseth said that the United States would no longer “tolerate an imbalanced relationship” with its allies. We can't argue with that, but what concerns is is the way this news has triggered all the warmongers in main stream media to start wailing and gnashing their teeth about Putin's plan to conquer the whole of Europe one Ukraine has fallen. What makes them think Russia has some expansionist agend? Moscow does not have the money the money or domestic will to acquire more territory, they have as much as they can handle within their existing borders and basically want to be left alone. That desire to develop in their own way and exercise some influence on their neighbours to protect their massive land border is justified by the Ukro - Nazis of Kiev's years long efforts to gain admission to NATO which the Kiev nutters believes would, by protecting them from reprisals, free them to provoke Russia in any way they chose.
Why would Russia allow US troops and missile bases on its borders? Do the wantwar wankers think the US would countenance a ‘commie’ takeover of Canada or maybe
missiles in Cuba? NATO has been snapping at the Russian heels for 30
years with unrelenting expansion and the previous US administrations
fostered revolt in Ukraine in 2014. The more I observe Putin the more
rational I think he is. Accommodating the Russian paranoia over invasion (have a
look on wiki at how many times they’ve been invaded) should be on our
to do list, JFK said as much over sixty years ago.
Just why would Russia want to wage any sort of war in Europe? To gain access to NHS’s transgender surgery perhaps? Or access to expensive US LNG? To be able to drive on the left of the road? Would Putin prefer Buckingham Palace to the Kremlin?
Just why would Russia want to bankrupt itself and kill its citizens purely to wage war somewhere? Why would Russia want to conquer Europe when most EU member states /are economic basket cases and EU bureaucrats have even broken the German economic powerhouse
And why are our leaders and opinion makers promoting such rhetoric, especially since they equally state we cannot protect ourselves without support from the USA anyway?
How about promoting peace? How about extolling how beneficial it would be to develop friendly relationships with all countries of the world, especially Russia and China, rather than trying to out-arm them?
Ukraine is a corrupt shithole run by gangsterswho have has committed disgusting crimes against their own citizens, and has additionally been disgracefully exploited and misused by its USA and European allies as a proxy in a war to weaken and threaten Russia. Should we regard either of these facts as honourable?
We should back Trump's peace plan and throw the cocained addicted crook Zelensky to the lions. This would at least show compassion for the people of Ukrain who have suffered enough. Maybe their country will lose a significant slice of its land, but at least it would stop Ukraine's young men and women being sent to the front line to lose their lives.
Has Putin Has Pushed Europe Into Economic Depression, Hyperrinflation and Currency Collapse?
Though it was entirely predictable and indeed had been expected for some time, the news over the weekend that the Nord Stream 1 pipeline which feeds gas from Russia to northern Europe via The Baltic route had been shut down completely by The Kremlin in retaliation for the continued financial and military support given by NATO and EU member states to Ukraine in the conflict with Russia. The European Commission, governing body of the EU, immediately put the community on something close to a war footing, ...

Do We Have A Winter Of Civil Disobedience Ahead?
As many people in Britain slap on the apres sun gloop in the wake of what passes for a heatwave in these cool cloudy climes, our inept politicians caught with their pants down by unusual weather as usual have heard that that winter is coming and are making plans for a coldwave.
We are in the grip of an energy crisis at the height of summer. Last week, it was reported that the UK government is laying down plans for a “reasonable worst-case scenario” including blackouts for industry and even households. And this is as energy prices spiral out of control to new records every day.
Is Russia Selling Its Oil To The World Through An Obscure Egyptian Port?
As this blog predicted when NATO and EU member states shot themselves in the foot by reacting to Russia's invasion of Ukraine with sanctions that prevented Russia from selling oil, gas and vital raw materials to the countries that needed them most, the NATO and EU member states, the Russians have had no problems finding alternative customers for their gas and oil and no problem getting oil into the world's commodity markets through the back door.
Are US Supplied Long Range Missiles Really Winning The War For Ukraine?
Since very soon after the start of the war between Russia and Ukraine western powers, USA, UK, EU and NATO have been doing everything possible to prolong and escalate the war. The latest move is to provide the Ukrainian military with long range HIMARS missile. Mainstream media are claiming this has tilted the balance in Ukraine's favour. But for what? To prolong the slaughter? ...
As the war in Ukraine grinds on and Russia steps up its economic war against the west and in particular The European Union, claims made recently by the idiotically 'woke' leaders of Europe's main economic and military powers that the West has a once-in-a–generation chance to severely weaken Russia’s capabilities, both militarily and geopolitically, look increasingly hollow. Putin's critics have cited 'Western unity' as one of the main reasons why Russia will be economically destroyed and politically humiliated when the Ukraine's military finally claim victory.

Russian Long Range Missile Test Fuels Nuclear War Fears As NATO Pushed Ukraine To Escalate Conflict
Russia tested its latest intercontinental ballistic missile yeserday, the Satan II has a range of 10,000 miles and can devastate an area of 250,000 square kilometers according to military experts.

We The Good Guys Versus They The Bad Guys Reporting Does Not Make Sense For The Ukraine Crisis
Mainstream media reporting of the conflict in Ukraine has disappointed. Perhaps I was naive to suppose that lessons might have been learned from the hits their print sales and online traffic rates took as a result of their handling the COVID pandemic But instead of focusing on the most obviously newsworthy aspect of the build up to and escalation of the war, Russia’s view of NATO expansion into Ukraine and even further to Georgia and Kazakhstan, news reports have simply demonised Russia and portrayed Ukraine as the good guys.
Boris and Biden Can't Blame Ukraine War For Energy Crisis
With typical arrogance and condescension towards the people who elected them Boris Johnson, Joe Biden and their respectiive presstitutes are trying to spin the energy crisis Europe and North America are currently facing as somehow being linked to the conflict in Ukraine and therfore blame is being attactched to Russia and Vladimir Putin. Do they really think we are stupid enough to believe such unmitigated bollocks? ...
Western leaders, desperate to show their own countries they were taking a firm stance on Russia's invasion of Ukraine, were quick to impose economic sanctions ... so quick in fact that they acted before they had though things through. While freezing Russia out of the global finance system they have exacerbated the wests energy crisis, while Russia's retaliatory ban on raw materials (fertiliser) exports will create extra problems on top of those we already had ...
Europe's Depleted Gas Storage Might Not Get Refilled Ahead Of Next Winter
While mainstream news reporting of the conflict in Ukraine continues to pump out a torrent of anri - Russia, pro - war propaganda the catastropic effects of this war that could so easily have been avoided are not mentioned. Well why would warmongering governments admit they have inflicted an energy crisis, food shortages and soaring living costs on their people for no good reason ...
Putin, Macron To Hold Urgent Talks To Halt Military Escalation In Ukraine
Even though the leaders of Ukraine itself are talking down the threat of war with Russia over the breakaway region of Donbas, America and Britain are still beating the war drums and demonising Russian leader Vladimir Putin. Russia insists they have no plans to invade Ukraine and one western leader at least, France's Emmanuel Macron, seems to be listening to messages coming out of the East European trouble spot...
Germany News Mag. Spiegel Asks "Is Vladimir Putin Right?" About NATO Expansion
As the confrontation along the border between Ukraine and Russia has escalated to actual shooting with ethnic Russian rebel separatists in Donbas reporting intensified shelling and initiating a "general mobilization" of military-age males, with Moscow denying they plan to invade and Ukraine's leaders accusing US, UK and French leaders of hysteria for talking up the threat of war, Germany's leading newspaper Spiegel asks the question fundamental to the entire conflict...
While Crazy Joe Biden Claims Victory Over Russia, NATO's Expansin Plans Have Been Derailed By PutinJoe Biden (or his handlers because we all know Joe's mind is gone,) have been trying to spin reports of Russian troops withdrawing from positions close to the Ukraine border as a diplomatic victory for the USA over Putin but in the geopolitical game things are seldom what they seem to be ...
