In the world of geopolitics created by the U.S. Dept of State and CIA, the pretending is thick.
A recent report has Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy now offering to give up territory to Russian President Vladimir Putin in exchange for NATO membership for the remaining portion. The story is sold by western media as if Zelenskyy has options, he doesn’t. However, Putin has a very strong weapon that President Trump has to navigate with a team of people around U.S. policy that are tenuous at best. Let’s discuss without the pretending.
Start with a Politico Article HERE, that frames the entry of President Donald Trump as the wildcard that has everyone, according to the DC narrative, rushing to get the best position in the final weeks before Trump’s arrival.
The DC narrative is that Russia is trying to maximize their land gains, while Zelenskyy and the NATO allies attempt to position for the least losses possible before they are forced to start peace talks.
It’s a little stunning that Washington DC is saying in advance of inauguration day that bloodshed stops, a ceasefire is imminent, and peace negotiations are a foregone conclusion, without President-elect Donald Trump even lifting his chin.
Apparently, and keep in mind this is the narrative of Washington DC, all President Trump needs to do is take his hand off the bible on January 20th and mysteriously global conflict comes to a screeching halt.
All things accepted and considered; the word “remarkable” is not adequate for that DC perspective. If that administrative state perspective doesn’t just encapsulate the scale of Donald Trump, I don’t know what could.
If global conflict stops or diminishes simply by changing a U.S. president, then who exactly is responsible for global conflict and escalation? I digress…
Next, we enter the perspective of Volodymyr Zelenskyy as newly espoused.
The New York Post [Article Here], where Zelenskyy tells Sky News, “If we want to stop the hot stage of the war, we should take under [the] NATO umbrella the territory of Ukraine that we have under our control. That’s what we need to do fast, and then Ukraine can get back the other part of its territory diplomatically.” Again, in this context, “fast” is the timetable in Zelenskyy’s mind, before President Trump shows up.
The proverbial “west,” which includes the White House, the CIA, NATO, the EU and the U.S. State Department are all trying to figure out their best exit from bloodshed and war, via a crisis they created a decade ago when they carried out the Maidan color Revolution in Ukraine, ultimately installing Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The intellectually honest observers of events, that’s the non-pretending group, readily admit this is exactly what happened.
So, to summarize: Zelenskyy is offering to concede territory in advance of peace negotiations, and his USA control group are trying to support that position while pretending that Zelenskyy is not saying that.
Oh, and, well, just send more money (another $24 billion) is another small detail.
Here’s where things get interesting, and how President Trump navigates this will be epic to watch.
Vladimir Putin has a weapon the “west” cannot defend against. It’s not part of his physical military armament, it’s far more powerful. Putin has the truth as a weapon.
The western group must pretend they didn’t carry out a color revolution in Ukraine. The western group must also pretend they didn’t install Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The western group must also pretend there was not a civil war happening inside Ukraine for a decade, and the western group must pretend they didn’t try to provoke Vladimir Putin with expansions of NATO and an intentional breaking of the Minsk accords. There are other pretenses that must be maintained, but those are the top ones.
Into this grand game of pretenses comes President Donald Trump, not exactly the best pretender (by choice) and Vladimir Putin not only knows this, but he also respects this Trump attribute of honesty in problem solving.
Keep in mind, President Putin watched how President Trump dealt with the “North Korea threat” problem that was left to him by President Obama. Putin watched how Trump negotiated an exit to escalating conflict by honesty confronting China, the true hand on the puppet strings of the DPRK.
Putin saw in that North Korea geopolitical dynamic that President Trump dealt with Kim Jong-un with a brutally honest strategy that encompassed the influence of China. While Putin is more allied currently with China, he knows President Trump cuts through the gordian knot woven by western interventionists. Trump cuts through the gordian knot with honest and pragmatic policy.
As a result of this dynamic, everyone around President Trump, including the National Security Council, his National Security Advisor (Waltz), his CIA Director (Ratcliffe), and his State Dept Secretary (Rubio), all have to maintain the “western” pretenses that were/are cemented by the people and silos they replace.
The larger American government, sans President Trump, have to maintain all the aforementioned pretenses, in part because the Intelligence Community and the USA media support it, and in part because it would weaken the USA on the global stage to ever make honest admissions about our control of Ukraine. And yes, that pretending dynamic includes Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg who President Trump appointed as special envoy for Russia and Ukraine.
Vladimir Putin’s strongest weapon is the truth. Vladimir Putin also knows the auto-setting on President Trump’s psyche of problem solving, ie ‘optimal solutions’, is also centered on truth.
The proverbial $64,000 question: How does truthful President Trump deal with truthful President Putin, while all around the office of the White House are people who only know how to maintain pretenses?
That my friends, is going to be a very interesting dynamic to watch.
One way President Trump could gain back the power of not pretending is to: (1) request an immediate ceasefire; then (2) tell the CIA (Ratcliffe) to immediately withdraw all CIA operatives from Ukraine; then (3) tell Secretary Marco Rubio to pull all USAID operatives out of Ukraine; then (4) tell Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy he must hold a national election within 60 days.
If the U.S and NATO pull all of the control agents out of Ukraine and hold an election, the result will highlight the will of the Ukranian people to retain Volodymyr Zelenskyy. If Zelenskyy wins, then he is in a stronger position. If he loses, then he was never strong to begin with, and he’s the wrong person to be negotiating with.
Calling for an election in Ukraine is a radical approach because I think we all know what the outcome would be. Then again, that’s the problem with pretending, when you stop you have to accept the transparently predictable forecast.
In the interim, President Putin has the truth as a weapon, and President Trump is going to have to find a way to deal with it while everyone around him maintains pretenses.
My money is on President Trump finding an optimal solution, just like he did in North Korea. It will certainly be interesting to watch.
what if trump pulls the transparency card on nato and the biden regime? the trump team will be going in with no blinders on about what the I.C did to him in the past and what the I.C. did to us in world wide manipulation run by globalists. the solution is putin takes the eastern part of ukraine he wanted,the war stops and nato can quit screaming about the russians are coming. if they couldn’t take the ukrainians who stood and fought how in the world could they take on nato? they couldn’t. sundance spelled out the truth of who the ‘west’ is,and it ain’t the american people in this instance. it is who sundance said it is. no more nuland/brennan/5 eye’s foreign policy. i remember in the beginning of this conflict one of zelensky’s cabinet member’s,a good looking blond,in her apartment with her rifle. she said,’we are fighting for the new world order’.
The new world order will not be what the globalists foresee. It could be America leaving NATO and forging a new alliance with India, Russia, some of Asia and South America, some Baltic states, and maybe even Ukraine. This would remove the need for NATO versus Russia and set up for the likely growth of many countries, allowing Russia to worry about itself rather than outside threats.
Yeah, we need the ‘Trump world order’, poste-haste
One of the United Kingdoms aka British Empires spy alliance == 5Eyes.
Who are the 5 eye countries?
The UK and its dominions:
Canada
Austrailia
New Zealand
and
the Us
Hmmmm
Perhaps US dominance in the NWO schemes is part of “the pretending”?
Ukraine == a proxy which NWO liars insist is sovereign.
US/DC == a no longer sovereign, NWO proxy?
Could this view help explain why PDJT has triggered, and continues to trigger, so much common-sense-defying rage and seethe?
What does Samantha Power have to say about this? She’s busily attempting to coopt the government in Georgia right now as outlined in your “Samantha Power, Team USA and The EU Fight Back in Tbilisi, Georgia”. Is she involved with Ukraine in her spare time?
When and how can we put her out to pasture? Will President Donald J. Trump truly address the evil being promulgated by the State Department?
The Biden regime has been setting the world on fire for four years.
Not too late for them to do Georgia penultimate to WWIII…
The final question Samantha (Abuser of) Power needs to answer is whether she wants to wear an orange or a black & white striped jumpsuit for the remainder of her miserable criminal life..
Wiki/Color_Revolutions > CIA caused a dozen color coups in east Europe since 2002, in Ukraine in 2004 and 2014. US has caused a hundred coups worldwide in the last century. “Tales of the American Empire” documentary series on FewTube has 120 episodes on our warmonger history
Sorry, Russia has already stated the terms of SMO multiple times. And the entire nation and governing body is backing them absolutely.
Why would Russia after all this effort return again to a situation where Russia goes back normalcy leaving a part of Ukraine to seethe and plot for retaliation .
Leaving Ukraine without completing the SMO directives will be “a sharp stick in the hand” of Russia one they will eventually have to go back in to remove.
Nope, sorry the entire nation of Russia is all in for the exterminating and removing of this Nazi ideology from its borders and neutering NATO.
“Sorry”…..” Nope, sorry”
Apologizing in a comment thread based on what Sundance said.
Puzzled.
Apologizing to whom?
And why?
I doubt Putin is going to fall for any of the West’s promises even if they come from Trump. What the US will try to do is come up with something that allows them to claim some kind of victory. If I were Putin I certainly would not trust Trump or any of the big four Western leaders. No. The USA started this war and now Putin will secure what territory he deems necessary to include a buffer zone. He will also station forces to ensure that whatever rump Ukraine state is left will never be able to join NATO. If the West is not amenable to that, well I guess the US and NATO can send their rainbow armies to fight the Russians. I am sure that will go swimmingly for them.
Note that the Gay American Empire prefers to fight third world countries that they can pulverize and impoverish. Since that is the case Trump will probably concentrate on Iran. Some of his perspective cabinet members are already talking about doing more to “Stop Iran from selling their oil.”
So we can steal oil from Iraq and Syria to give to Israel but prevent Iran from selling their own oil. Well all I can say is that the American Empire and the West had better enjoy it while they can. The end of their empire is on the Horizon.
PDJT’s victory will be stopping the war, he doesn’t need anything further.
“Stop Iran from selling their oil.”
Yeah that is a good one LOL. Iran is a regional superpower. Their biggest customer is China, who says the US has no business interfering between Iran and China oil trade. Turkey is also very dependent on Iran’s oil.
Iran could close the Persian Gulf. Their proxies in Yemen control the Red sea and Gulf of Oman.
Iran could raise the price of oil to over 300 dollars a barrel overnite if they wanted to. By shutting down the Straights of Hormuz, The Bab el-Mandeb Straight (Red Sea) and ports in the gulf of Oman. All within easy missile range. Iran could put a severe crimp in world trade of all things not just oil, if they so desired. They control the choke points between the East and the West. Not much we can do about it. Operation Prosperity Guardian has turned into an Epic Fail. Our Navy has been chased away from the Mid east.
But hey! Pay no attention to that Aircraft carrier(s)sailing home in defeat. Ukraine wants to join NATO.
And “I doubt” Trump will offer Putin promises that he can’t keep since, as Sundance has pointed out, both men, unlike most men, are brutally honest non pretender.
And both men obviously understand who their real enemy is, an enemy seeking to destroy both America and Russia, The OWO’s NWO Death Cult.
When I see Zelenskyy I always have that scene play in my memory of the nazi telling him to “shut up” and they would kill him. Zelenskyy just looked at the camera with nothing to say. Our media champions this actor as a leader. Our media is worse than any attack we have withstood. Don’t need another agency just gallows and pardons for those interested in doing the job.
Same for all these criminals in Washington and in our local governments. Immigration, have bounties. People need the work.
Last night Syrian “rebels” attacked Aleppo. I noticed a lot of those rebels looked to be wearing American issued uniforms. Strange.
Putin started the war to prevent Ukraine’s potential admission to NATO. What would a corrupt Ukraine bring to NATO, besides more risks of war?
Putin was provoked into the “Special Military Operation” in Ukraine if Feb 2022. And now he is being provoked into WW3 but he is far too clever for that. These dumb MFers running Biden didn’t even F’ng know about hazelnut. They actually believe they can change reality by changing the media narrative. How dumb is that?
ceasefire is a non-starter.Its as if we offered the nazis a ceasefire in Jan 1945.Why would the winning side give the losing side a break to rearm,press more ukrainians into the military etc?Russia has said after being lied to so many times that the USA is agreement incapable.USA started the war using ukraine as their proxy,they lost.Ukraine has no say in how the conflict ends.If Russia wants peace in the future it will dictate terms,Ukraine can capitulate. Nothing the USA can do,it only has nukes left.Are they going to burn the world down?Position of “Strength”?Such position does not exist for the US. 4000 degrees C for Oreshnik,
Just a little reminder below of Russia’s basic demands to stop the war. There will be no freeze, and no DMZ. Unless all of Ukraine becomes a Neutral, Demiitarized, Non NATO Zone. Maybe there are some small points that can be negotiated. But if the below are not met. The war will continue.
“The hostilities will stop due to the military superiority of the Russian army, and the native Russian lands will forever remain part of the Russian Federation by the will and choice of the people of Donbass and Novorossiya. The condition for this remains the achievement of the goals of the SMO – denazification and demilitarisation of the Nazi regime, and the establishment of non-aligned status for Ukraine.”
It’s not so much a war any more. It’s a one sided bloodbath meatgrinder where the Biden Admin is throwing an many Ukranine’s into as possible so they don’t want their war crimes to be exposed. Their current efforts are to reduce the conscription age from 25 to 18 and insure that Ukraine will never recover. The evil intentions of the Biden handlers is off the charts. I am surprised they haven’t been hit by lightning.
No he is not tall enough for the ride at Six Flags or any other ride. He is a total loser who wants everyone else to pay for and fight his war. For what? Because he has ideas of grandeur about himself. The sooner he exits left the better for everyone.
What is NATO up to?

I don’t expect Putin to fall for or accept anything that PDJT proposes regarding the Ukraine situation. Putin will do what’s best for Russia. Putin knows that Trump only has about two years before the lame duck president position is permanent for Trump and also as Putin said that there are people still trying to assassinate Trump. IF Trump is taken out guess what happens? JD, Mike Walz, lil Marco and the rest of the Deep State will say that whatever agreements Putin had with Trump died with Trump and then the Deep State will go after Russia until Russia is destroyed. So basically Putin sees this as a short pause in the Ukraine war for the western countries to develop and make new weapons and ammunition. Then after Trump finishes his term in office or is taken out then things will go back to “normal” just the way the Deep State likes it.
Zelenskyy will be Ceaușescu‘d when Ukrainians discover the truth about how he ran their country and the war. I hope he doesn’t escape.
This should have never been a partisan issue. Fake conservatives promoting Europe and the America’s betrayal of the West, America’s humiliation, and a stronger Russia-China-North Korea axis are doing generational damage.
The most obvious Trump move here is to let Ukraine join NATO and have the US pull out of NATO. If the US was out of NATO, Putin wouldn’t care a bit if Ukraine joined or not. NATO is a failure, time to cut and run from it.
As long as Putin was aware of the strategy, I think.
I thought a country at war could not join NATO.
That would seem like a good idea on the surface, but what is stopping a future US administration/government from rejoining NATO (much like was done with the Paris Climate Accords)?
It’s doubtful that V Putin would trust the USA on anything, and he would be justified given the USA’s behavior up to now.
Wow, this has got to be one of the most ‘saying the quiet part out loud’ statements since the start of the Ukraine war.
Why do we persist in acting like Zelensky has any agency? We call him a puppet, which he is, and then we discuss the things he’s done as if it’s all his own ideas.
He tried a deal with Russia. He got told no.
We know that.
Maybe Boris is the one President Trump should be bringing to negotiations with Putin.
I would love to do a 3 hour podcast with @ZelenskyyUa
I will come to Kyiv for it. Let’s do it.
My suspicion is that NATO WANTS Putin to attack them, so the RINOs and Democrats in Congress can refuse to validate the election, as changing presidents during a war is “too dangerous”. That way, Joe and the Ho stay in office and the money grab can continue indefinitly…
“(3) tell Secretary Marco Rubio to pull all USAID operatives out of Ukraine”
Marco didn’t do it, but DOGE got it done!
Sundance is Genius!
