Secretary of State Marco Rubio will need to maintain a lot of energy to operate foreign policy advancement at the “optimal resolution” speed of President Donald Trump.
Rubio departed Israel for his visit to Saudi Arabia where two major topics are on the agenda. The U.S. Secretary was welcomed by Saudi Foreign Minster Faisal bin Farhan and is scheduled to meet with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. On the agenda today is what to do about Gaza, tomorrow the discussion changes direction to address Ukraine.
Saudi Arabia has expressed opposition to the Trump plan for the temporary relocation of Gaza Palestinians while a complete restructuring, revitalization and rebuilding of the region takes place. However, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Egypt have not proposed an alternative to the Trump plan.
Saudi Arabia (MbS), Egypt (al-SiSi) and Jordan (King Abdullah II) have balked at the idea of Israeli Prime Mister Benjamin Netanyahu that Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Jordan temporarily host Palestinian refugees; a plan suggested by President Trump. Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Jordan do not want more Palestinians to worry about.
Ultimately, Secretary Rubio is in Saudi Arabia to ask Crown Prince MbS directly, if not the Trump plan – then what? What solution can be proposed by the Arabs that creates long lasting stability, peace and the opportunity for residents in Gaza to live without terrorism, Hamas, chaos and war?
♦ Tomorrow the agenda switches to discuss the Russia -v- Ukraine conflict. Secretary Rubio will be joined by Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff and National Security Adviser Mike Waltz. The Russian delegation includes Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, President Vladimir Putin’s aide Yuri Ushakov and Kirill Dmitriev, the head of Russia’s sovereign wealth fund.
Oddly, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is in the region; however, according to most public reporting he is not expected to participate in the U.S-Russia negotiations. I would not be surprised if something in the background is triggered by President Trump that pulls-in Zelenskyy while the Ukraine President is in Saudi Arabia.
Zelensky said in an interview yesterday that his country would “never” accept a peace deal struck by the United States and Russia if Ukraine was not involved in the talks.
If Zelenskyy is in the region (UAE), watch President Trump -through Rubio- to use those recent statements by Zelenskyy and say, ‘well then, get in here and talk.’
If that were to happen, Zelenskyy would reject the move because he is entirely unprepared to operate from a position of independent leadership.
Watch this part closely because President Trump seems increasingly close to exposing the truth about the Ukraine war and how U.S. politicians are motivated in their influence positions by the financial benefits of the conflict. Sparks could fly if the pretending stops.
Feb 17 (Reuters) – Russia said Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov will hold talks with top U.S. officials, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, on Tuesday that will focus on ending the war in Ukraine and restoring “the whole complex” of Russia-U.S. ties.
Rubio arrived in the Saudi capital Riyadh on Monday on a previously planned trip. U.S. National Security Advisor Mike Waltz and Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff, who are set to arrive later on Monday, will be joining him at the talks with the Russians.
The talks will be among the first high-level, in-person discussions in years between Russian and U.S. officials and are meant to precede a meeting between the U.S. and Russian presidents.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters that Lavrov and Yuri Ushakov, a foreign policy advisor to President Vladimir Putin, would fly to the Saudi capital Riyadh on Monday.
“They are expected to hold a meeting with their American counterparts on Tuesday, which will focus primarily on restoring the entire complex of Russian-American relations,” Peskov said. “It will also be devoted to the preparation of possible negotiations on the Ukrainian settlement and the organization of a meeting between the two presidents.”
U.S. State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce confirmed that Rubio, Waltz, and Witkoff will meet with the Russian delegation in Riyadh on Tuesday. (read more)

And Starmer, taking orders from his London banker overlords, declares he is ready to put UK troups in Ukraine “in harm’s way.” He clearly is trying to trigger article 5 of NATO if anything Russian hits even one of the UK soldiers, so as to force the US into it directly through the mutual defense article 5. What his banker bosses don’t seem to get is that there is plenty of support in MAGA for simply withdrawing the US from NATO altogether, which is the more likely result of his scheme.

NATO is a CONTRACT, with a clear quid pro quo; its says to any who sign on “You put up 2%, in exchange an attack against one is an attack against all” ….
they are not just deficient THIS year, they owe us 20-30 YEARS of underfunding, and unless they catch up, they are in violation of the contract and we owe them nothing.
NATO was the enforcement arm of the UN.
Just like the Democrat/Hamas party, they have been relegated to the (D)ustbin of history.

Article 5 doesn’t address what to do if the NATO country being attacked started the conflict; or, as in this case, if a NATO member puts troops into harms way by placing them a conflict between two non-NATO states.
It doesn’t even address what happens if a NATO member country attacks another NATO member country.
In this case, if I were PDJT, I’d send Marco to tell the NATO members seeking to get involved that they are on there own and neither the US, nor any other NATO member has to honor Article 5 if they foolishly put troops into Ukraine or attack Russia directly and expect the US to back them up. It’s strictly a defensive treaty.
Russia should be admitted to NATO well ahead of what will remain of Ukraine.
That would be advantageous to all.
A5 doesn’t protect the aggressor. He’ll be in for a rude surprise.
The international situation now is almost the exact reverse mirror of 1989 when Gorbachev pushed détante, democracy & reforms on his shocked Warsaw-pact allies. This time it’s USA and Trump who pushes ‘Glasnost’\’perestroika’ (restructuring of the bureaucracy and trade systems, detante, transparency/DOGE etc.) on his shocked allies.
Again, Hungary leads, like in February 1989 when they, as the first, started cutting down the border cold war barbed wire.
Possibly the population in country after country in Europe (like in 1989) will rise up this time too – again influenced by their dominant “too large to resist”-ally.
…“Possibly the population in country after country in Europe (like in 1989) will rise up this time too – again influenced by their dominant “too large to resist”-ally.”
And that is the real reason they want a European army. It’s not security against Russia. It’s control of the people in the EU.

Great Britain (5 nations) already has an unbelievable police state infrastructure to suppress “white” citizens.
I don’t get how that is funded other than by printing money.
I don’t believe any nation could generate enough tax revenue to support a government police state such as Great Britain has.
In the fantastic video “The Great Taking”, the narrator claims the current military maintained by the West (NATO) cannot be supported without printing money (officially listed as borrowed).
The video, 1 hr 12 min, is easy to find and full of jaw dropping info.
Oh to be a fly on the wall to hear the discussions as they are going on. All the pretending, cursing, mistrust, distrust, and the Machiavellian shenanigans. This is way better then any Hollyweird movie.
If the discussions are for public consumption, then I’d totally agree.
If the meetings are private and what is said not recorded, then not. I’d like to imagine that they pull Z into the meetings and present him with the receipts and evidence of his corruption and all the players involved. Then, they tell him to shut up and do what he is told as they slide the documents across the table for his signatures. Next, have the Saudi gov’t ready to arrest him and hold him indefinitely on behalf of the newly formed war crimes tribunal that he just signed into existence.
Predictable.

What? Is little Zelenskyy circling the playground hoping someone will notice him?
It certainly sounds like it.
Indeed.
Instead of being a man, to step up at the beginning to be the voice for Ukrainian interests, he circles around on the outside, hoping he will be noticed and invited.
Instead, the men in the room are having to deal with Zelensky’s overflowing septic tank. And like a bad neighbor, he may well crash the meeting to tell the American and Russian teams what-for, even as he refuses to clean up his own mess.
I doubt that anyone who knows Z’s past (how he plays the piano and dances with gay men, etc.) has any respect for him. He is a gnat, an unwelcome entity who has no standing among real men.
Little Z “has no standing among real men” … quite literally. Short man syndrome. He looks like an adolescent in groups of average-size males.

Sundance has detailed how PDJT’s foreign policy focuses on putting the responsibility for regional security where it belongs, with the regional players…
And, how the Russians have a fondness for blunt truth, and no patience with bullshyte.
Put those two things together, and I think its likely that the truth WILL come out, and all of the Ukraine Cheerleaders wearing their blue and yellow lapel pins, are going to be royally f*cked, as the truth of what they have done, is voiced out loud.
They are dripping in blood and death, and profiting from needless destruction…exposure is emminent.
pretty sure a fondness for blunt truth and no patience with B.S. is a huge part of MAGA and Trump’s appeal to those of us who elected him.
Who is unaware of the truth? Ukrainians?
at least several hundred thousand of the poor bastards….

One thing he’s doing well is a totally blank face, no expressions, nothing to indicate where he/PT stands. Next thing he is keeping his mouth shut publicly.
Yes, he’s saying and doing all the right things and is gaining some level of grudging respect from me. That said I still wouldn’t buy a car from him.
Notice that Qatar is not part of this discussion. Qatar is a funder of Islamists throughout the Middle East and is aligned with Turkey which does the same thing.
Qatar is funded by the US taxpayers.
Qatar is funded by massive revenues from LNG sales. US taxpayers merely fund the protection of Qatar (huge US airbase outside Doha), which is expensive in more ways than one. U.S. protection enables the tiny state to play its game on the broader Middle East chessboard without any fear of severe pushback.
Zelensky’s life expectancy is directly linked to the life expectancy of the Ukraine conflict.
That is the prevailing wisdom.
Sooner or later something has to give. And this usually means some poor soul will snap and do the inevitable.

Zelensky is kinda like Biden, a controlled nullity. Only big difference: Biden has dementia. Zelensky has a drug problem.
They both have a money laundering problem.
And a longevity problem…
The Russians can make a good deal with Trump, the problem is what happens after Trump, they know they can’t trust the American government or politicians.
In the middle east wouldn’t the smart play for the U.S. and the rest of the world be to kick Israel out of the region? Who cares if there is a Jewish state? Why do they get their own country but no one else does?
“Who cares if there is a Jewish state?”
God cares – whoever would try to take that land from Israel will pay the ultimate price.
It’s the only land in God’s Word He promised for forever – to anyone!
How would you imagine Israel has managed to survive and thrive for any amount of time at all?
They are a small piece of land, virtually and literally surrounded by enemies on every side?
They’ve survived, thrived and live for the exact same reason PDJT was able to stand up in Pennsylvania with a bleeding ear and shout, “fight, fight, fight!”
Doubt that truth to your own peril!
To God Be All the Glory!
That is exactly the reply I expected from someone.
I don’t know how many Americans who once supported this MIC war in Ukraine no longer do.
Heck, I don’t know how many Americans there are who don’t even know there is such a war ongoing.
But that photograph of Uniparty senators with Zelenskyy smiling their heads off and all but bowing to him with slavish adoration while the extent of their massive wealth through their connections to various USAID entities is being daily exposed (most recent Tom Cotton whose board mate of an International NGO Lindsey Graham has promised Zelenskyy NATO membership and American boots) has the constituents of these corrupt senators reaching for their phones…as well they should.
Which brings me to this.
My question….
At whatever point Presidents Trump and Putin reach an agreement on first a ceasefire and then, hopfully, a complete cessation of this immoral DS war, what form will that final agreement take.
A treaty I am assuming, which will have to be ratified with the support of those Uniparty RINOs who put their confirmation obligations on hold, thus showing where their allegiances lie..
It will be very interesting come the day of such a vote to keep our eyes on those particular RINOs, if their profiteering for untold wealth isn’t exposed first and/or the ones up for 2026 re-election aren’t voted out of office.
Godspeed, President Trump and President Putin…
Bless-ed are the peacemakers 🙏🏻
A premise can be set for the 2nd set of discussions if the sparks are indeed allowed to fly first. I’d be Ok with that.
Been pleasantly surprised by Rubio so far. Maybe it’s him being on a short leash?
He is doing what Trump wants him to do which is his job. I think it would be a very different story if he were in charge.
I doubt Rubio has actually ever been in charge of anything. Pay masters call the shots.
He sees himself behind the desk every time he walks into the oval office I’d wager.
very short leash….he can not say his possible inner feelings ?????is he really changed ?????
Zelenskyy has been as much the President of Ukraine as JoJo Biden was the President of the USA. Name tag only.
“Sparks could fly if the pretending stops.”
I am certain that Presidents Trump and Putin are under no illusion as to exactly what is going on here. Lavrov understands. I am not sure about anyone else.
Zelenskyy is a corrupt and willing partner in the scheme who realizes that his life hangs in the balance. IMHO he inserts himself into the works as relevant in hope of appeasing his puppet masters and prolonging his life. Unfortunately, nothing he can do will likely stop what is coming. See also Jeffrey Epstein, Muamar Ghaddafi, et al.
The best thing he could do would be to accept Jesus, give Trump and Putin the proof of everything that the Global Shadow Gov’ts have done, and accept whatever God determines should happen.
I can only imagine the seismic ripples that would come with a Zelensky, knowing he’s dead anyway, crashed the Trump-Putin summit and opened the books on everything the WEF Left has done through Ukraine.
Western Europe – specifically, the EU – would instantly become a pariah.
The world really needs ellenski to cop a plea deal and flip on all his deep state / WEF backers.
“U.S. State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce confirmed that Rubio, Waltz, and Witkoff will meet with the Russian delegation in Riyadh on Tuesday. “
I have somehow missed the news that Tammy Bruce is now at the State Department!
As Bill and Ted would say: “Excellent, Dudes!”
I just saw a Leftist professor on the local news claiming that President TRUMP is “all over the place” in foreign policy, i.e. that he is incoherent, inconsistent, etc.
The idiot does not realize – if he had recalled anything about January 2017- January 2021 – that keeping our enemies guessing, and even our putative allies, allows the U.S. to stay flexible and compels foreign politicians to be on the defensive.

Trump knows, Rubio knows, Putin knows, Lavrov knows, everyone knows what Ukraine is all about: the money laundering, the delusional neocon idea of winning a war against Putin to grab all of Russia’s assets, the use of Nazi battalions, the forced conscription at point of gun of all that is left of Ukrainian men, the US politicians with their grubby meat hooks salivating to get their hands on Ukrainian kickbacks, the biolabs, the corruption of the Ukrainian government AND the US government and CIA, the fact that Americans DO NOT SUPPORT THE WAR, and Zelenskyy, parading around, dancing and prancing, in a woman’s dancing costume, his multiple mansions, his greed for more money and more power while he does nothing for the people of Ukraine, his canceling of elections because he knows he would lose, the whole stinking corrupt edifice is crumbling and everyone knows it.
My hometown that I grew up in painted every fire hydrant blue and yellow and painted small stones placing them in every park and walking trails supporting UKRAINE.
This shows how deep the money laundering is. Massive corruption.
A lot of our people are so stupid – they fall for everything.

Reminds me that congress stood for that little green gnome and waved their little ukraine flags. It blows my mind that congress is so ignorant.
Just show them the money! They are only stupid in the sense that they think they will never get exposed. They will, even if it takes years as has been the case for Texas’ illustrious Senator Cornyn. But like “Big John”, chickens come home to roost…
I remember our little church congregation contributing to the Ukraine war relief effort.
Compromised – and stupid, yes! But they are in no way ignorant of the corruption.
Added to that they are no doubt panicked – I’m sure they see the writing on the wall.
They have to finish the game and hope they come out on the other side alive…which is unlikely.
Treason doesn’t generally come with prison time…
If you were getting paid a million a month to paint rocks blue and yellow and wave blue and yellow flags …you betcha’ Red Ryder.
Please Mr President and Senator Rubio, do not let this non-entity of person sabotage your good works and strategy.
Please instruct the US Delegation to walk out if Zelinsky shows up. He has to learn that this is not Biden’s America but the US citizens America now.
By non-entity I mean an unelected president, not a non-human. . I think President Trump is correct to insist on a new election so that the US can deal with a bonified Ukrainian President.
Just my opinion and everyone has one.
I don’t think Saudi Arabia is like London, where anyone can show up un-announced…. Saudi’s can shoot the guy down anytime his plane enters Saudi air space….

Early this morning long range drones hit an oil pipeline and pumping station inside Russia.
“On the night of February 17, Ukrainian UAVs attacked the Kropotkinskaya pumping station, which pumps mainly oil from American and European companies through Kazakhstan.
It is noted that the station is located about 230 km from the port of Novorossiysk, through
which Russian oil is pumped, and at a distance from other fuel and energy facilities, so the impact on it cannot be accidental.”
Here is a snip from another news article-still trying to find more information:
______
“The Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) announced the attack of Ukrainian UAVs on the Kropotkinskaya nuclear power plant.
The strike was carried out by 7 drones — there were no casualties among the personnel.
The workers managed to prevent an oil spill.
At the moment, the Kropotkinskaya nuclear power plant has been decommissioned.
“Oil is transported through the Tengiz — Novorossiysk pipeline system at reduced pumping modes, bypassing the refinery,” the CPC said.”

Dealing with Z is an 8” putt for Trump. He’s been doing Americas bidding via the 4th branch and bloodthirsty congress. He’ll do Americas bidding again.
This time with executive branch force and the yielding of Congress lest they be exposed for the greedy merchants of death most are.
I suspect dealing with Putin will be a pleasure for Trump. Man to man.
Assurances made that Americans are starting to see the realities of our many ungodly, unjust dealings on the world stage…especially post WWII.
I think Trump can sell him on “at least 12 good years” of common sense dealings moving forward.
Hope so. 👊✝️👊
Our President Trump has stated recently that President Putin should be in the G7 to make it the G8, as it once was.
This is something that can’t be ignored. It is a statement of trust in the Russian President. Surely, it has been noticed by him and sets a good tone for the “killing to stop.”
Z’s term of office ended in May of 2024. He has lost his voice.
Apparently, Ellensky on behalf of the Ukraine, has signed some sort comprehensive economic agreement with the UAE.

News that might not be well known. Zelensky’s drone strike: A tactical move to undermine Trump’s oil price goals?
Ukraine’s drone attack on the Kropotkinskaya oil pumping station in Russia last night could be considered a CALCULATED BLOW to US business interests and a PERSONAL INSULT to US President Donald Trump.
The station’s owner, Caspian Pipeline Consortium, is not subject to any US sanctions and a significant portion of the company’s stock is owned by American shareholders.
The attack also runs in the face of Trump’s efforts to lower oil prices to the benefit both of the United States and the American people. This drone attack, along with other strikes on Russia’s oil infrastructure, may help maintain oil prices at their current level or even push them higher by decreasing supply.
Could Volodymyr Zelensky be trying to lash out against Trump to make it look like Ukraine has leverage on the United States by threatening American business interests?
I add, could it be that the CIA is trying to lash out against Trump and against peace efforts? Those drone strikes are planned and guided by US intelligence. It wasn’t Zelensky by himself.
Chevron, Lukoil, ExxonMobil, Rosneft and Shell joint ventures all have intrests in the Caspian Pipeline and The pumping station.
From what i have read it was attacked by 7 long range drones. The pumping station is shut down because of damage. Oil is still being pumped thru the system bypassing the station.
Ukraine and the Warmongers are getting desperate and thrashing out at everyone in range.
If they disarm the ”palestinians”dont let them drive.dont let them buy bomb making materials they are no risk when moved.After 80 yrs of the same ”2 state ””solution”there is no point in repeating it or pretending,Disperse the ”palestinains”after they are moved.They will be small isolated groups,unarmed etc.Those arabs are not our problem and everybody is fed up with them.
It’s a mistake to invest our prestige in either of these conflicts.
If some European countries want to involve themselves with Ukraine, well that’s what European countries do: niddle around in each other’s business as they roll from one historical grievance to another, and draw in other countries to enlarge the conflict. George Washington is very wise: “it must be unwise in us to implicate ourselves by artificial ties in the ordinary vicissitudes of [Europe’s] politics, or the ordinary combinations and collisions of her friendships or enmities.” We ignore his advice at our peril.
As for conflict in the Levant, UK sowed the chaos, we don’t need to do their dirty work.
There may be pauses but it’s unlikely either of these conflicts will be permanently resolved. Europe will continue being squabbling Europeans, and the Levant chaos will continue until UK’s project ends.
Very Good!

Little man with big pockets is like the boy who cries wolf and we all know what happened to him.
For one thing, Zelensky is not the President of Ukraine. He usurped power in a fashion that their Constitution specifically prohibits. (Obviously, the writers of that document were experienced …) The power that he attempts to wield now legally rests only with the head of their “Duma.”
It is for this reason among others that Putin will not deal with this man, and why there is no reason anyway to include him in any negotiations. This entire thing, from the beginning, was a “proxy war” effort lead by United States officials who are no longer directly in power. Therefore, there are, indeed, only two individuals who must talk. And, finally, they are talking.
Once they have decided what to do, they will tell Europe and Zelensky. Who, I hope, will one day be tried for war crimes.
There is a lot of land in the Sinai where the Palestinians could relocate.
Zelenskyy is completely superfluous and has no business complicating any U.S./Russia discussions.
Prof Mearshiemer discusses what the end of the Ukraine War will look like…
A total disaster for Ukraine, NATO and the EU. Ukraine will be a rump state and lose 40% of it’s territory.
And about 70% (at least) of its mineral resources.
“Circle Back” Girl has been added to Russia negotiating team.
A little reminder. These are just talks to feel each other out and for Putin to show the world he is willing to talk. There is no negotiating.
Russia has already stated what Russia wants. Demilitarization, deNazification, Neutral Ukraine, No NATO. Russia keeps full territories of Kherson and Zaporozhye and the 2 Dombass states. Which have already constitutionally joined the Russian Federation. Putin and Russia will not compromise.
President Trump can have all the talks he wants. If Russia’s conditions are not met. The war will go on until Ukraine is beaten into submission.
Exactly. And neutrality of Ukraine doesn’t mean that there will be thousands of European “peace-keeping” troops stationed in Ukraine with military bases out of which they operate.
Neutrality doesn’t mean 8 weapons manufacturers setting up business in Ukraine. It doesn’t mean US DOD biolabs will continue to operate.

WOW, just listening to Military Summary channel. Dima announced that Zelensky has made an agreement with the UAE to allow Ukrainians to own up to 70% of companies in the UAE, allow the transfer of digital instruments, and protect the privacy of any transactions.
According to Dima’s speculation, it sounds like an agreement that will allow Zelensky to move his money to UAE and give him and other corrupt Ukrainians an escape possibility with no exposure about their finances.
