A sequel to our earier article After Trump And Putin Lock Horns Peace In Ukraine Is As Far Off As Ever, which discussed the failure of the most recent face-to-face meeting between the two presidents to lay the groundwork for a negotiated settlement in Ukraine. Trump's knee jerk respobse was to threaten all out economic war if a peace deal was not agreed within 50 days, which prompted from Moscow an indfferent shrug in response. Now read on ...
The US threat to sanction key Russian commodity importers such as China, India, Turkey and Brazil with 100% tariffs has about as much chance of success as a one legged man in an arse kicking contest. In spite of Donny's bluster the 50-day ultimatum is expected to fizzle out without anything having changed. Trump may well have adopted the least-bad solution to outflank the pressure he’s been receiving from the war hawks in Congress to show a response to President Putin’s destructive aerial attacks on Ukraine over the past two weeks.
The grand strategy of American neoconservatives, inspired by Zbigniew Brzezinski’s vision in The Grand Chessboard (1997), aimed to secure US unipolar hegemony (full spectrum dominance,) by severing the economic bond between a resource-rich Russia and manufacturing powerhouse Germany in the Eurasian landmass. By rendering Europe a geopolitical vassal, dependent on American energy and security, the US could continue to delude itself full global dominance had been maintained.
This particular foreign policy, which Washington does not mention out loud very often, was suggested in a 2019 RAND Corporation study which explicitly outlined a strategy using Ukraine to weaken Russia through prolonged conflict. The 2008 Nato ploy to recruit Ukraine and Georgia, despite Moscow’s repeated warnings,that doing so woukd cross a red line set the stage for confrontation.
Victoria (Fuck the EU) Nuland’s role in the 2014 Maidan coup, ousting pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych, was pivotal in turning Ukraine into a Western-aligned proxy ready to provide a location and cannon fodder for the west's proxy war. The 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, provoked by Nato’s encroachment, played into this strategy, with the US and EU arming ‘democratic’ Ukraine with the intention if ‘bleeding Russia dry’.
The provocations continued despite the warnings by America’s own diplomats and academics including John Mearsheimer, who spoke against leading Ukraine down the ‘primrose path’ to self-annihilation. The neocon gambit has backfired spectacularly.
Recent interviews with economist Martin Armstrong and former UN Wepons Inspector Scott Ritter the economic and military situation facing Ukraine, Europe and the US following the disastrous attempt to expand Nato and the EU and carve up Russia. Their views coincide with other commentary and are well worth finding while available.
Here is our summary:-
Russia has won the war, an inevitble result since before the first shot was fired. With far greater troop numbers, more tanks and artillery pieces, better technical and logistic support western leaders must have been insane if they ever believed Ukraine could prevail. Russian Arms factories out produce the West by a factor of 10. The latest missiles are very accurate and virtually unstoppable. They can launch 500 drones per day and resupply them.
As a last stand 30k trained soldiers are arriving from training in the West. They stand no chance with an 8 to one killing rate. The Russians will advance to Odessa if no negotiations are available and, as they have stipulated from the start, Ukraine must be neutral and not host long range missiles. There has been some pressure is on Trump to supply these and reports claim Europe is also planning to supply their upgraded cruise missiles.
The Kiev regime still wants Nato troops intervene and many European leaders support this. This is very dangerous and could lead to retaliatory strikes on Europe. For this reason current thinking that Zelensky will be replaced within the 50 days and hop off with suitcases full of cash to one of his many foreign homes. Negotiations between the west and Russia to stop Ukraine being completely ruined will take place.
(Alternatively, Armstrong forecasts that debt driven western economies will be completely up shit creek within months and unable to borrow any more. The sanctions and sabotage of cheap Russian energy is ruining the economies and the existing Uniparties will be taken over by Populists. In order to avoid this, they are counting on a patriotic war with Russia and are borrowing to re-arm Germany.)

Will Commodities Be The New Reserve Currency As The Death Knell Of The Dollar Sounds?
Many respected economists and market analysts who favour the free markets approach concur that we are heading towards a new economic reality that will see the collapse of the US$ as the default reserve currency, to be replaced not by any other fiat currency such as the Euro or the Renminbi, but by a system in which commodities are the
primary denominator of value. Should this turn out to be the case we can expect an acceleration of the shift in geopolitical power from west to East.
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.
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.
