The intellectually honest political watcher knows that overall Ukraine represents the largest international money laundering operation to shift wealth from taxpayers to the politically connected institutions, since COVID-19. The money is the motive to continue the conflict.
With President Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin scheduled to meet in Alaska for a summit to negotiate a ceasefire, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz quickly organizes a meeting between EU leaders and the U.K to figure out how the keep the war going.
As the industrial capital of the EU, Germany has a lot at stake given the nature of their contracting economy. The EU military industrial complex is centered around the nation Merz represents. There are trillions at stake.
BERLIN — U.S. President Donald Trump will join European leaders including Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for an emergency virtual summit on Wednesday.
The call, organized by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, comes ahead of Friday’s summit in Alaska between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin on the war in Ukraine.
The virtual summit will focus on pressure options against Russia, questions about Ukrainian territories seized by Russia, security guarantees for Kyiv and the sequencing of potential peace talks, a German government spokesperson told POLITICO.
Merz and other European leaders demand that Putin first agrees to a ceasefire before any peace talks or land swaps between Moscow and Kyiv can take place. They have also made clear that any potential territorial exchanges must be balanced and agreed with Kyiv, and that Ukraine should receive firm security guarantees to protect it against further aggression.
Three diplomats told POLITICO that Merz’s team had been in intensive discussions with other capitals in recent days to organize the virtual meeting. (read more)


I really, really dislike these people. Wish I could say what I want, but I will try to be civil.
By all means, let ‘er rip!
I won’t judge. 😉
Sensitive ears and all that, but I did rip here at home. Where is Lindsey and his stinking crew?
I understand that defense contractors are Lindsay’s greatest donors! Understand?
Well, if you’re referring to Ms. Graham, I would guess he and his crew are at a drag show.
Resetting.
There’s a new Sheriff in town and the old strategy don’t work no more.
These glorious bastards will be judged. It will not be by us but they will be judged.
Ditto!

🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 You’re welcome
Have a great day 😊😆
Thx!
Remember how saddam would sentence his enemies? An arm a week in the plastic shredder.
I had a friend in the 101st that had to stay in one of Saddams’ torture slaughter houses for a while. At first it was about finding a structure to stay in, then they learned what the building was. I won’t forget.
I hope PDJT and Putin come to an agreement. And if crying Z doesn’t agree; I would love nothing more than for VSG to say, “Ok, I now wash America’s hands of this. Good luck to you Z, and any other lingering IC dead beats in the path of the Russian war machine. YOURE ON YOUR OWN”
And then I’d love it if PDJT said, “Hungary you’re cool, Poland You’re cool, (then throw a hamburger in Germany’s face and say) FU-K YOU IM OUT!!!”
IC deadbeats describes this conflict perfectly
Lingering no less
They just can’t give up the 💵🐮.
The 🔥 👹 with the loss of human life .
Sometimes it is so VERY hard to be civil
The Great Reset
has already happened.
For Catholics the 15th is the Assumption of Mother Mary. I don’t believe in coincidences.
Praying and fasting is important.
The Fast before the Dormition of the Theotokos begins on Thursday, August 1st on the Orthodox Christian Church Calendar, which is August 14th on the civil or commercial calendar. The Feast of the Dormition of the Mother of God is two weeks later.
One of Mary’s many titles, is “Mary, Queen of Peace”.
When does Jesus get some recognition? You know, the person who actually gave his life to save us from our sins.
Jesus ALWAYS gets the recognition and the credit for saving us from our sins- and in Truth, Catholics also recognize Mary’s profound, child like belief in God and know she always points to her son to “Do whatever He tells you”.
You may not need Mary, Joan, but God did, and we recognize that!
I’m not trying to start anything here. I was raised Catholic as a child/teen, but didn’t really practice as an adult. I was born again when I was 39. One of the things I most remember when I was young was being told to say the hail Mary prayer after confession. Back then I didn’t really think about it. Today it just doesn’t make sense to me to pray to Mary when I can pray directly to Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior.
“…doesn’t make sense to me to pray to Mary…”
Catholics never pray to Mary; we ask for her intercession because Our Lord Jesus Christ loves her and gave her to us from the Holy Cross (John 19:27) If Elisha performed marvelous deeds after death I am rather certain that the Blessed Mother can as well. Sirach 48:12-14
Regina pacis ora pro nobis
Does anyone think Mary was going anywhere else than Heaven?
“The intellectually honest political watcher knows that overall Ukraine represents the largest international money laundering operation to shift wealth from taxpayers to the politically connected institutions, since COVID-19. The money is the motive to continue the conflict.”
So, what you’re saying: Ukraine is NATO’s piggy bank.
It’s how money flows out of DC and then a percentage flows back into politicians hands, Repugs as well a demonrats
Plus Eurocrats.
…And every single one of them, Rep and Dem alike, who profits from the death and suffering they are causing will be held accountable for all eternity!
They will be willing to give every penny they have gained for a drop of water!
Yes. Unfortunately there are no “intellectually honest political watchers” who work for the vast array of corporate news media publications and/or corporate news broadcasting operations. And there are hardly any of them in Congress.
It’s an inexcusable and unjustifiably sorry state of western governmental affairs.
Profiting off of death and destruction should come at a great cost. If not now, on God’s time at the end of their lives.
TRUST THE PLAN imho
Darkness to Light!!
Until names are named, and actual criminal charged filed, for the average citizen listening and watching, this all sounds like just noise. We know better.
Hunter Biden, President Biden, and the Biden family were all named. Hunter was going to be charged but daddy put the kibosh on charges and had the prosecutor fired.
This Constitutional Republic never had a president Biden. Hmm let’s see the Biden family yeah we got one of those. Chinese nationals from what I hear. 🤷🏼♂️
BINGO….
Well it’s a meat grinding killing piggy bank and that doesn’t bother German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, the EU leaders or the U.K as they have shed no blood in our proxy war just Eurodollars!!!
They are gaining American Dollars, trust me.
Lindsey Graham is the bank manager for the USA.
The whole Russia boogey-man narrative has been NATO’s venture capitol source for decades. It’s simple.
NATO encroaches, Russia reacts, NATO screams “The Russians are coming, the Russians are coming! Send money immediately! Also, for a limited time, were offering cash back incentives to U.S. politicians………………. Oh yeah, send some food and blankets for the victims too, whenever that’s convenient for you.”
And they could care less about the lives lost, they are nothing but numbers to these people.
Peace, as we all know, is bad for business.
Ending the killing would be ideal but short of that if Trump can remove the US from funding and enabling the war it would be a good start. Europe wants the war let them have it without the US.
We have already stopped funding weapons. That was the first shoe dropping.
I suspect soon our civil servent money will become dependent on new leadership. I cant think of a faster way for zelensky and his cronies to be shown the door.
By localizing the financial effects we bypass the the money laundry. The majority of the stake holders in Ukraine are not on the laundry operation they are just on the dole. No one on the ground in the government machine will give a damn about anything but their check or pension. Make them choose Z man or checks
It Truley is a miracle from our Maker that PDJT and PVP are meeting, in all places Alaska…. answer to many months of prayer and fasting for PDJT’s admin
I wonder how long before they start fighting each other.
I think this is an opportunity for there to be a big expose of just the money laundering described here complete with receipts.
And I know just the guy to do it: rhymes with thump.
Looks like a board meeting for pedophile art teachers.
Concerns noted. Now bugger off. Pay for your own graft. The war is over. Russia won.
Some player are vital while others are mostly incidental, as is pretty much true in life in general.
Only Vladimir Putin can keep the war going and only he can end it..
Will he or won’t he? He has probably already made up his mind, but I’m not a mind reader.
We have a lot to do with the war ending. Putin will not and should not back down from his mission in Ukraine. America must vacate the region. It really is RU historically. The Ukraine and Russians are brothers, sisters and family. America does not need to be pushing into RU sphere of influence.
I wish President Trump and Putin had kept news of their meeting to themselves until after it had begun.
Me too, but summit meetings are pretty hard to keep quiet.
Reinforcement…by the Grace of Almighty God 🙏🏻
Maybe Germany should try invading Poland again if they’re so anxious to keep the war industry going.
Heh, that won’t go so well for Germany this time…
Exactly! None of the Eurocreeps can field an effective military right now.
Which is why President Trump should issue the order to recall all troops and assets here and put them on our Northern and Southern borders.
We bailed them out of their own mess twice, at the loss of much blood and treasure. The Cold War is long gone and over. We owe them nothing now.
Do not get me started. Look up Treaty of Versailles. Enough said.
Europeans are incredibly cheap and Germans are the worst. I worked in a high-end New York area camping, hiking and skiing store through college. Lot’s of European customers looking at backpacking gear during the summer. The job paid great including a nice commission. I found Europeans to be the worst customers by far! I sincerely doubt that they will spend a dime on Zelensky and Ukraine of their own money once President Trump pulls the plug on the Zombie!
Paragon Sports!
Maybe Putin will agree to voluntarily lose the war in Ukraine, after spending hundreds of thousands of Russian lives to win it. It doesn’t seem likely, but miracles do happen.
Not that one.
JMO.
EU and u-craine hold none of the cards.
It is obvious that they know that by their desperate request for a “pre-Alaska Meeting” conference call.
It is often said that whoever calls first in a hostile negotiation is the loser.
Has President Trump de-banked the CIA?
If so, the globalist’s international club has lost its sugar daddy.
Yes, USAID.has closed down.
Neuland, powers and tbt rest of the 3 letter traitors should be rounded up as enemy combatants for miltary tribunals, turn on the congress critters, then line ups
Sounds like a good plan to me.
correct
80% of usaid $ was spent outside of the u.s.
The Company has other means available to it to generate funds.
The liquid DC piggy bank is broken the funding squirreled away in the Caribbean has not been crawled back.. So No they still have their secret taxpayer stash cash
Could be ….. but then, how would you know?
hopefully that’s the next nut to be cracked. 🙂
Any negotiation and any sale
No ceasefire…just make a deal on ending the war.
A ceasefire gives the warmonger creeps in the EU, the UK, and Ukraine the opportunity to bomb places inside Ukraine and blame it on Putin AND lets them strategize and rearm, drag more 60-year-olds off the streets of Ukraine for fodder.
These cretins know we can see them, right?
The slaughter of soldiers is a money making operation in Ukraine.
Stopping the war is bad for business.
These European scoundrels are SICK !
Not to mention our involvement in getting this war started.
Prof Jeffrey Sachs addresses the EU Parliament telling them that when President Trump and Putin decide to end the war…it’s over!
That was extremely disjointed. Is Mr. Sachs an apologist for US strength? An EU sympathizer? Trying to work his way back into DC?
What a wonderful bubbleland he is living in.
Perhaps you got the wrong take on what he said. For the only way PT can lose is if the warped IC wins.
Sachs has been advising Russia since the 1990’s I believe.
Sachs advised Russia into a shitshow, but he made certain people very wealthy in the process. Always good to do a deep dive into Mr. Jeffery Sachs and his connections.
I don’t know about this video…I’ve long-since abandoned any desire to listen to Sachs…but I can assure you that Sachs would NEVER be confused with an apologist for the US, or, even remotely, a pro-American in any way, shape, or form.
Spit.
The video is at least 6 months old.
Wow. Truth is sobering. No wonder they won’t accept it. Better to pretend that truth is simply relative, not absolute.
Perhaps it is time to re-read the classic by C.S.Lewis titled “The Abolition of Man.” The only thing Lewis wrote that wasn’t directly related to the subject of Christian thought. But he has in it a very prescient understanding of the direction of post ww2 politics in England. And added possibly America.
I would recommend the read as very valuable in these times.
Jeffrey Sachs ??? I thought it was the Fake Indian, Lizzie Warren.
He was also urging the EU to have their own foreign policy and blamed this all on the U.S..
I think we have had more than enough of EU foreign policy (no, they are not the poor little oppressed innocents that they have been making out to be for the last 80 years).
Jeffery Sachs is trying desperately to resurrect his reputation. A reputation that he richly deserves (the true one, not the ones he has invented for himself). He should slink away and go have cocktails and canapes with his buddy Bono.
Once I found out that Sachs pals around with U2’s frontman and butts heads with John Mearscheimer I started looking at him with a jaundiced eye.
Who was his first major patron? What are some of his ‘accomplishments’?
I find it highly amusing that some conservatives foam at the mouth when that patron’s name is mentioned, yet seem to (now) believe that Sachs is somehow ‘their guy’.
Wonder if Zelensky might have a Patton accident in his short term future, or a Seth Rich mugging, or food poisoning.
I think trump tells Ukraine it is time for new leadership and until then we stop funding there civil service. Z MAN IS GONE INSIDE OF 12 HOURS
It is truly insane we are paying for their gov’t employee salaries, pensions, really everything Ukraine.
Claw back all the cash in Swiss accounts
Bank of International Settlement is a Swiss Bank. Guaranteed no claw back possible from that one.
Masters of War by Bob Dylan
[Verse 1]
Come, you masters of war, you that build the big guns
You that build the death planes, you that build all the bombs
You that hide behind walls, you that hide behind desks
I just want you to know I can see through your masks
[Verse 2]
You that never done nothing but build to destroy
You play with my world like it’s your little toy
You put a gun in my hand and you hide from my eyes
And you turn and run farther when the fast bullets fly
[Verse 3]
Like Judas of old, you lie and deceive
A world war can be won you want me to believe
But I see through your eyes and I see through your brain
Like I see through the water that runs down my drain
[Verse 4]
You fasten all the triggers for the others to fire
Then you set back and watch while the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansion while the young people’s blood
Flows out of their bodies and is buried in the mud
[Verse 5]
You’ve thrown the worst fear that can ever be hurled
Fear to bring children into the world
For threatening my baby, unborn and unnamed
You ain’t worth the blood that runs in your veins

[Verse 6]
How much do I know to talk out of turn?
You might say that I’m young, you might say I’m unlearned
But there’s one thing I know, though I’m younger than you
That even Jesus would never forgive what you do
[Verse 7]
Let me ask you one question is your money that good?
Will it buy you forgiveness? Do you think that it could?
I think you will find, when your death takes its toll
All the money you made will never buy back your soul
[Verse 8]
And I hope that you die and your death will come soon
I will follow your casket by the pale afternoon
And I’ll watch while you’re lowered down to your deathbed
And I’ll stand over your grave ’til I’m sure that you’re dead
Yep, yep, yep.
So powerful – so gritty with truth.
“…we cannot accept that territorial issues between Russia and America are discussed or even decided over the heads of the Europeans,…”
These greedy, arrogant *&^%$#@$!!! I hope and pray the U.S. and Russia grind the EU governments/Brussels lower than dirt!!!
Putin to become first Russian leader to visit Alaska when he meets Trump on Aug.15 to discuss ending Ukraine war with Zelenskyy’s invite is “possible”
August 15th, The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary into heaven. A good day to discuss peace.
One of her many titles: “Mary Queen of Peace”.
Nobody is inviting Zelensky Trump cabashed that today
I’m no Nostradamus, but I know one thing for sure. If there is no peace agreement, the one person whose fault it certainly won’t be is President Trump.
Friederich Merz is probably arranging this meeting in gratitude for the Ukranians volunteering in such great numbers to the SS during WWII.
Fred Mertz– wasn’t he Ricky and Lucy’s neighbor? 🙃
Trump should keep quiet. Would drive them crazy.😜
Similar to not attending the GOP primary debates last year. After all he is Gulliver and they’re Lilliputans.
This is actually getting a little boring in the sense that we’re still paying for just about everything instead of simply cutting off the welfare tap.
The “firm security guarantee” need only be two some words about Ukraine: No NATO.
I’ll be checking afterward to see if I can get the take by NATO Chief Mark Rutte. He has a different take from these other NPCs on some things. Their agenda seems to call for enough time to take a roll-call and then adjourn. Besides the obvious “how do we keep the con going” aspect (which they could examine AFTER Friday) much of this seems performative to me. But then, they’re in a pretty whipped up tizzy aren’t they?
VSGPDJT keeps going deeper into the Belly of the Beast. WHOOah Go Gen. Washington!!
Taking back D.C and now has E.U. in a war council going to war with him over ending the war over there.
🤣 😂
I recall Sam Bankrupt-Fraud, the self proclaimed crypto guru, who was running a Ponzi scheme funded in no small part by corrupt entities in Ukraine. Some of this money wound up in many, many political coffers including a significant contribution to Maggie Hassan in my state.
I am certain Hassan is funded by many other organizations which are financially opaque by construction, some of which are still funded by the Ukraine money laundering operation. And now we have Jake Sullivan’s wife as a representative. I keep wondering how it could happen, it is almost as though one third of the votes in NH are fabricated and mailed in or something. It takes lots of money to make that happen and cover it up.
Trump said he’ll know in two or three minutes if a deal will happen. Trump will be back in the lower forty eight in time for lunch.
When asked how he’ll know that he replied, “Because that’s what I do. I make deals.”
That was classic Trump. The idiots in the Propaganda Parrot Media keep asking the dumb questions, he keeps schooling them.
Yes. Like the big beautiful briefing room question.😂
It don’t take a weatherman to know which the wind blows.

EU negotiating on behalf of the little twerp, who lacks the ability to do so himself???
Seems you left out the part that the money being laundered is US taxpayers’ money. I don’t see anyone else putting their in the pot.
The essential act of war is destruction, not necessarily of human lives, but of the products of human labor. War is a way of shattering to pieces, or pouring into the stratosphere, or sinking in the depths of the sea, materials which might otherwise be used to make the masses too comfortable, and hence, in the long run, too intelligent.
George Orwell
What is it with Russia, anyway?
When Czars ruled, Russia attacked other countries/duchies/whateverees.
When Communists ruled, Russia also attacked and annexed them.
Now, Russia’s a Republic, (or dictatorship) and She’s still attacking other countries.
Ukraine provoked this?
I think not.
President Trump can no more give Russia Provinces in Ukraine than give Alaska back to the Russians.
What is it with the Clowns In America, Toria, and NATO expansion?
The future does not belong to those who disrespect the Prophet of the Russian Federation and his Special Military Operations !
You bet Ukraine provoked it. With lots of help from us and EU.
…”I think not.”…
Boy, you can say that again!!
He isn’t going to give Russia anything that they haven’t already taken.
And remember, it was Slow Joe Biden who essentially told Putin it was okay to take a “little bit of the Ukraine”.
All planned by the Globalist Bankers, intent on dragging everyone into a Third World War and taking Russia’s assets.
The money laundering back to politicians world wide was to make sure it happened.
Then Trump got re-elected and their plans came to a screeching halt.
Russia has in many ways a very regrettable geography.
But wars aren’t always about geography, especially fake ones.
Our President isn’t going to ‘give’ anything other than a proposal for how to end the Ukrainian war. It would be wise to at least listen to it, wiser likely to take it, but wisdom and humans are often at loggerheads.
🙄 Oh, good lord…
When you see people that are pro crime in DC is it any woder there are people that like crime on a much larger scale?
Countries drowning in debt, facing financial depression, no energy, no manufacturing, countries full of Islamists and the “leadership” keeps on war-mongering! Do the citizens remember how to spell
Guillotine?
In happier times, which we hope are soon to come, it would be good for the US to make very clear to our NATO “allies” that if they are attacked as a result of their own belligerent actions, we are under no obligation to help them and we will not help them.
Our stupid military actions over the last few decades look like something out of Orwell.
Maybe it’s more than the last few decades.
We have always been at war with East Asia…..
The President told them that, nearly verbatim, during his first term in office.
They can always return to the “man made” climate change hysteria to gain some revenue.
Germany doesn’t know how to manufacture plowshares anymore.
I confess, I do like their WAGO 221 products (wire connectors).
They tried to keep the fake pandemic going much the same way. A fake isolated foreign war only accessible to the public through the Eyes of AI is much easier to manage.
If Trump is to join that call, I idly wonder what he will say.
To Europe, it has never been about anything but money – and their own vain illusions of military superiority. (Never “basic capacity,” which they all very clearly lack.)
From the reports I read Merz will be calling jd and Trump after the meeting
jd? Vance?
As someone suggested above, hopefully he will just listen and say nothing…..’Splodey heads!
Putin will only take Trump seriously if Trump tells these leeches to F-OFF! “Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.”
We’ll even throw in some colored, sugar sprinkles on top to get the deal done. 🙂
you know the EU leaders will tell pdjt he needs to ask for this and this and this.i have hopes that he says if you want those things you go meet with putin.”i’m not your errand boy,butt out or i will pull all troops and equipment out of europe and close all the bases”meeting over.then go meet putin and try to strike a deal.
Put a sock in it Merz
F’ the Bosch.
Boche.
The USA should walk away from this war if Zelensky and the EU money launderers want to keep the war going. The problem is it will be a political problem for Trump. Half the GOP wants this war as they are getting filthy rich from the aid package kickbacks.
I know this is a rhetorical question but who cares what Z and the EU want – why should we the U.S. give the GOP what they want? What have they done for us lately that would warrant us giving them a lot of money? I say BUZZ OFF.
