Excluded From US / Russia Peace Talks, European Leaders Decide To Hold Their Own Summit

 

Snubbed By Trump and Putin, European Leaders(!) To Hold Their Own Summit On Ukraine

Following the Munich security summit European leaders will gather next week for an emergency summit on the war in Ukraine in response to concerns the US and Russia are moving ahead with  peace talks that will exclude Europe. Senior figures in the Trump2 administration are due to meet Russian and Ukrainian negotiators in Saudi Arabia in the coming days, US officials say.

Sir Keir Starmer, never one to turn down a freebie, will attend the five star jolly meting in Paris, and described it as it was a "once-in-a-generation moment for our national security" which made clear Europe must take a greater role in Nato.

The move comes after Donald Trump's special envoy to Ukraine said European leaders would be consulted but not take part in any talks between US and Russia over ending the war. The toxic dwarf of Kiev was mot mentioned.

In remarks likely to be cause concern in Ukraine and among European allies, special envoy Keith Kellogg said previous negotiations had failed because too many parties had been involved.

"It may be like chalk on the blackboard, it may grate a little bit, but I am telling you something that is really quite honest," he said on Saturday.

SStarmer is understood to see his role as bringing US and Europe together to ensure a united approach to peace in Ukraine. Considering his success in uniting Britons in hatred of his government it is hard to see him achieving anything other than making the situation worse although in view of the constant stream of propaganda, from London,Paris and Brussels claiming that Ukraine is still winning it is hard to see how even somebody of SStarmers innate ineptiyude could make things worse.

The UK prime minister will discuss the views of European leaders when he visits US President Trump at the White House at the end of this month. A further meeting of European leaders together with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is expected to take place after Sir Keir returns from Washington.

Sir Keir said the UK would "work to ensure we keep the US and Europe together", adding the two could not "allow any divisions in the alliance to distract" from "external enemies".

Polish foreign minister Radoslaw Sikorski said Emmanuel Macron had called the summit of European leaders, although has not yet been announced by the French president which makes one wonder if any European leaders actually know what they are doing.

Sikorski said: "President Trump has a method of operating, which the Russians call reconnaissance through battle. You push and you see what happens, and then you change your position, legitimate tactics. And we need to respond.

Earlier on Saturday, Zelensky called for the creation of an "army of Europe" amid rising concern the US may no longer come to the continent's aid. Speaking at the Munich Security Conference, he said US Vice-President JD Vance's speech at the event had made it clear that the old relationship between Europe and America was "ending" and the continent "needs to adjust to that".

But Zelensky also said Ukraine would "never accept deals made behind our backs without our involvement" after Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed to start peace talks.

The US president earlier this week had a lengthy conversation with the Vladimir Putin following which he announced that negotiations to stop the "ridiculous war" in Ukraine would begin "immediately". Trump then "informed" Zelensky of his plan.

On Saturday, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio also held a phone call with Russia's foreign minister "building on" the 12 February call between Trump and Putin. Trump's call with the Russian president earlier this week broke nearly three years of silence between Washington and Moscow.

US Representative Michael McCaul , chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, told Reuters news agency. he understood Zelensky had been invited to take part in the Saudi talks, which were aimed at arranging a meeting with Trump, Putin and the Ukrainian president "to finally bring peace and end this conflict".

A day earlier, Vance had launched a scalding attack on European democracies, saying the greatest threat facing the continent was not from Russia and China, but "from within". In a speech at the Munich Security Conference, he repeated the Trump administration's line that Europe must "step up in a big way to provide for its own defence".

UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy has said the UK and EU countries must spend more on defence, with Europe facing an "existential question" even in the event of a negotiated peace in Ukraine.

Lammy told the Munich Security Conference on Saturday "Putin will not go away", and that, while it was positive 23 Nato countries were now spending at least 2% of their GDP on defence, "we all know we have to go upward".

In the meantime the European nations have failed to sufficiently diversify supply.

Trump and Putin Agree In a Phone Call To Start Peace Talks Without Consulting Zelensky

 

 

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? ...

Jingoistic Western Triumphalism Will Not End The War In Ukraine Or Cripple Putin, But It Is Crippling Western Nations

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.

Boris and Biden Can't Blame Ukraine War For Energy Crisis
