**BUMPED by Request** History has a tendency to rhyme.
There is one move on the geopolitical chessboard that can put all of the U.S. and President Trump’s problems into an immediate checkmate. However, the forces against the alignment are significant. If President Trump can end the Ukraine-Russia conflict and end the sanctions regime against Russia, everything changes.
Bringing Russian oil, gas and natural resources back into the global economy not only removes all leverage held by Iran, but it also wipes out intransigent resistance against the geopolitical reset and upends over a hundred years of EU and Commonwealth financial manipulation.
Not only does the Iran problem immediately shift, but so too does any/all leverage carried by Canada on behalf of London and the broader commonwealth structure. With a U.S-Russia strategic economic alliance, something factually stated at the end of every message from Moscow, the dynamics of global structures is entirely different. However, all the oppositional interests are well aware of the consequence and their actions reflect it.
The United States and Russia ended World War II. A U.S-Russia alliance would change everything.
Who would benefit from such a strategic partnership? The USA, Russia, India, China, Saudi Arabia, the Gulf States (GCC), ASEAN countries and even Japan and the Caribbean, including Cuba.
Who would oppose such a seismic shift? The U.K, specifically the financial constructs within the City of London, Canada, the EU-NATO states, all the Commonwealth countries and the Five-Eyes group (Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the U.K and the U.S. Intelligence Community).
Now we have appropriate context for the dynamic of the issue, along with context for exactly why all oppositional elements are conducting current activity. A strategic partnership between the U.S. and Russia represents an existential threat to all the old systems – everything.
The first step would be solving the Ukraine-Russia conflict. So, let’s look at that problem specifically and how a transactional approach might frame the four corners of an end to it.
Russia now occupies approximately 20% of the Ukraine land mass in eastern Ukraine and they are not going to ever concede it again. For the Federation of Russia, represented by Vladimir Putin and the overwhelming majority of those within influence inside the Federation, the NATO encroachment is an existential threat long term.
Russia views the objective of the legacy system powers as intent on taking Russia apart. Ukraine represents their immediate shot to stop this from happening. All prior agreements and treaties by EU and NATO agreements were violated. Russia will no longer allow the wolves to circle their camp.
Looking at the challenge through the transactional prism, a ceasefire may include Russia retaining their current land gains, while giving up the confiscated $500 billion sovereign wealth fund as the purchase price. The fund could be considered reparations by Zelenskyy and his EU-NATO handlers, it matters not. What matters more than the sovereign wealth fund in this transaction, is the elimination of western sanctions.
With sanctions removed, immediately the Russian economy surges with sales of oil, gas, minerals and raw materials back to the global market. With the Iran conflict still afoot all that oil and gas carries a higher value. That is the pricing dynamic that makes loss of the Russian sovereign wealth fund more contextualized. However, with all of those abundant natural resources now back in the global supply chain, the leverage for all other western countries that rely on their natural resources, specifically Canada, is diminished.
Russian oil and gas could flow immediately and easily back into Europe. Currently, the power structures within the EU, those more concerned about raw power and control than the financial health and livelihood of their citizens, are against a return of cheap and abundant energy. They should think about the return of lower energy costs as a value to their economies and people; however, the EU ‘leaders’ are more concerned about the geopolitical reset -ultimately their diminished power, that would lay in the background.
As a consequence, the EU doesn’t really care about how much financial benefit there would be to their economic condition. For them this is a zero-sum power issue. Just as Russia doesn’t want to be torn apart by the grand ambitions of London, so too does the EU not want to lose the power to assist in the tearing apart aspect.
The rest of the problem is one of the future. A problem of security guarantees; of agreements that are bolstered against some significant non-wavering constant that can ensure no further expansion of NATO intent and no further threat to create purposeful conflict. The United States has constant regime changes, that takes the U.S. out of the ability to be the guarantor. However, THAT level of security guarantee is possible through the one construct that has put tentacles into every geopolitical economic structure in the world, CHINA.
There is a visible deal where President Trump sets up the transactional end to the conflict, the payments and economic mechanisms that conclude the Ukraine-Russia war, while Chairman Xi sets up the security guarantee aspect by leveraging everything that Beijing has created for decades.
As paradigm resetting as that sounds, it’s not impossible. In fact, I would argue that’s exactly what China is saying HERE.
[Non-Paywall Link]
The Washington Post is getting the direction correct, but they are unaware of the destination.
TDS infects all media analysis. They put the review of Chairman Xi’s comments through the prism of anti-Trumpism. That’s not at all what this looks like to me.
From my perspective, Trump is looking to solve problems beyond his tenure in the White House. After all, how many times has each Trump supporter said, “well yeah – great, but what happens after Trump leaves office?”
Think about it carefully, through the prism of peace and stability – while understanding that President Trump is structuring long-term U.S. economic stability and retaining the perspective that Beijing influence in U.S. economic matters must be removed.
Handle the transaction. Solve the Ukraine-Russia crisis. Form a strategic partnership and build fortress north America. Leverage the systems that Beijing has already put in place, including leverage upon the EU, and make Chairman Xi the minder for everything OUTSIDE our hemisphere.
President Trump looks to have gamed this out quite well.
The tool that cuts the gordian knot is in the relationship.
“Security Guarantees!”
It’s a phrase you see in every discussion of the Ukraine-Russia conflict. However, has anyone ever paused to look at the other side of the equation?
The U.S. led NATO alliance has violated every agreement and accord ever established between NATO and Russia.
Every agreement constructed by the USA is but one presidential election away from being nullified, ignored and manipulated by the western financial interests who control the geopolitics behind it.
We think, because we have been trained to think, about the term “security guarantee” through the prism of western interests. Against the reality of the situations we have created, we should think about the term from both directions.
The greatest thing U.S. President Donald Trump could do for the long-term interests of global stability, would be to support and assist in the construction of an equalizing element. President Trump should support the other side of a security guarantee that frames China as the guarantor against NATO encroachment toward the Russian Federation.
The U.S-EU/NATO coalition can be on one side of the ledger. If Russia makes hostile western moves, NATO responds. However, if U.S-EU/NATO elements make hostile moves against Russia, then China responds.
If the U.S/NATO genuinely has no adversarial intents toward expanded conflict, then such a security guarantee poses no concern. We should embrace such a system.
If, however, the U.S/NATO alliance is duplicitous, as has been the historic outcome, then allied elements would oppose such a system.
“Security Guarantees” should mean something. And that something should exist regardless of who is the United States President.
Brilliant thank you Sundance
Reddog, is that color referring to support for the communist cause?
Handing the world over to China is a retreat on a massive scale.
Trump has reversed geopolitical losses from the western hemisphere all the way to Persia, and now we are to give huge chunks back because reasons?
Just give up Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and all the rest? All based on a plan that fully relies on every South and Central American tinpot banana republic staying loyal to the USA and not getting bribed by China? A plan that relies on the Chinese being honest players? A plan that relies on our own politicians, once China controls the rest of the world, not getting bribed and flipping on us once they see who the big winner is?
I appreciate Sundance, but this has got to be the most naive proposal I have ever heard.
Now, what kind of priest do you call to exorcise possession by the spirit of of Lyndon LaRouche. . . ?
.
Has there not been reporting that the Chinese are in a flux with regard to their ideology, economic outlook, political positions?
If Germany can opt for a break in their hardline approach, why not China?
Would not China fare better in a co-operative world vs a stand-off of military prowress? Especially since their ‘build-up’ has not been yielding positive results?
Hasn’t President Trump been in Xi’s ear for years, lauding a peaceful world that could bring China honor and esteem for being a pro-active player rather than the paper tiger our VSGPDJT knows they are . . .?
As the great Hong Kong street philosopher once said, warning Donald Trump, “Don’t trust China. China is A$$ Hole!”
And they retain that status until they can prove otherwise.
Right now, they along with western progressives and Islam are Western Civilization’s biggest threats.
We would be absolute fools to cede half of planet earth to them.
Live to fight another day.?
“talks went beyond Ukraine”…you said it Sundance.
Moving ahead with plans, no matter what.
The last line here says that Mr. Putin wants to address Root Causes..
THIS is all he’s ever said, he’s said this over and over again since the start of this.
Every meeting, we see him saying this.
Mr.Putin must want to bang his head on the table and yell “How many times do I need to say THIS”.
Sundance: I find this point interesting because after all these discussions, he must not yet feel his root causes have been discussed to his satisfaction and the answers and solutions he’s looking for, they are not there yet or he’d not continue to say over and over again that he want’s his root causes dealt with.
Trump is trying to remove the root causes.
I find these term acceptable. 😎
Stellar proposal. Let China take center stage. They’re probably going to anyway in one way or another. Carney, the EUnuchs and NATO all of a sudden have to choke on their Green New Scam policies. If there’s a Russia US alliance, the EUnuchs are stuck with their own internal problems they created
Hillary Clinton would love to give the world to the communist en-slavers.
After all, she and her husband did give Communist China our missile guidance technology and our nuclear bomb testing records.
Now take two readings of “Unrestricted Warfare” and call me in the morning.
The U.S-EU/NATO coalition can be on one side of the ledger. If Russia makes hostile western moves, NATO responds. However, if U.S-EU/NATO elements make hostile moves against Russia, then China responds. – Sundance
What are the chances of that happening? I want the US to get out of NATO because I believe all the Euroweenies are warmongers and our IC want America to go to war against Russia not just the proxy war currently in the Ukraine. Both countries have nuclear weapons so how would that work? But if what Sundance proposes comes to fruition then I would support staying in NATO under those circumstances. If not get out of NATO and the UN as well!!! JMO
That President Trump hasn’t been able to end the war in the Ukraine is disappointing so far but the Fat Lady hasn’t sung yet!!! Still two more year in his Presidency!!! Hope springs eternal!!!
Getting out of NATO isn’t enough. Europe wants a war and they know from history that we can be coerced or guilted into it, NATO or no NATO.
We did it twice. If we are dumb/corrupt enough to fall for it the third time, we deserve what we get.
As I have said before, I hope someone or somebodies at the White House monitor this site.
Me too.
It is always useful to see where proposals for total surrender originate.
Russia is now supplying Beijing with oil that China formerly got from Iran. In addition, China has told Iran there will be no further bilateral discussions about anything until Iran:
Iran’s response was to threaten the journalist who reported this, and for the regime allied newspaper to write articles discussing the Iran-China relationship as if there was no problem at all in the relationship.
At the recent summit in Shanghai, Xi Jin Peng refused to be photographed with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian.
I believe what Sundance is writing about has support from these most recent events.
A possibility, except China is also planning eventually to gobble up Russia, abet later in he game. Sundance look at the dance cards if the DSA gets in power, it totally favors China and the globalist cabal.
China can’t even gobble up Taiwan.
Only one man on Earth can pull this off.
Or even wants to pull it off, as it often appears.
Who protects Russia from China?
I do think Orange Man Bad is thinking at this level,
but I doubt the answer is China.
I think the blow up between Vance and Zelensky was about
how to begin to build a peace structure that could endure
flakey European politics and even flakey American politics.
The likely structure was to be economic.
Look at the new trans Caspian Silk Road path going through Azerbaijan, Armenia and
Georgia.
Look at what is happening
in Venezuela. An oil structure is being built that will make Venezuela prosper
and stabilize 2 continents.
Tactical Nuclear warheads………..

Those last four paragraphs are something I’ve never thought about. But I like it!
Who would oppose such a seismic shift; the UK.
President Trump has fired the first volley to address this.
A few days ago President Trump said the UK might have to give up the Falkland’s for not supporting the US.
President Milea then had two different statements about the islands.
If the US had not rescued the British in the earlier war, Argentina would already have the islands and their oil.
Then : Argentina was socialist UK was Thatcher USA Reagan.
Now : Milei Burnham Trump.
It’s world turned around.
End NATO. End biological experimentation, like the US bio(weapons) labs in Ukraine.

I’m all for parts of your (Sundance’s) program, but the proposed role of China would be problematic. Revitalizing Europe’s economy via cheap Russian energy thwarts China’s trade and strategic objectives. Russia has less reason to fear European encroachment than that China eventually will take over the Russian Far East and chunks of Siberia. For now the Chinese are pursuing this through development, trade, and migration rather than conflict. At some future point, the logic of who should govern these areas will tip in China’s direction. Admitting it needs or wants Chinese security guarantees would be very difficult for Russia’s leaders), who would anticipate the price to be paid, and fear admitting being vulnerable enough to need it. Russia and the West are better served joining against China.
Russia doesn’t like China.
The security guarantee would not be between Putin and Xi. The security guarantee would be between Trump and Xi.
Change the way you look at the problem.
Need to add that the “security guarantee” between Russia and China Inc. is driven as well as based more economic and technology exchange agreements.
It is no accident that allot of Chinese Technology, especially military and metallurgical, is Russian.
Okay. This shifts the pieces. So Trump would have to convince UKR (EU-NATO) & RUS to except this security guarantee in the peace proposal, and Xi to be the big gun, if needed.
UKR-EU-NATO would agree to checkmate themselves if they got out of line? Likelihood? Slim.
If Xi agrees, what’s in it for China, other than starting a big war.
Russia might agree since they aren’t interested in EU territory.
The only way I could fathom Trump pulling this off is through the very long-term Venezuelan oil agreement he just got as the grease to make it happen. USA agreeing to hands off re: Taiwan mix be in the mix. Trump not making EU pay the billions for the Bidens arms to UKR. Alleviating their sovereign debt crisis.
I can’t fathom what the EU-NATO politicians care about to grease their perspective and agree to this. They will throw a monkey wrench into the works of this.
How about we work on re-taking our part of the planet (western civ) before just handing it over to two nations which have never known freedom and have murdered over a hundred million people?
Trump is moving the Middle East towards us and defeating the Iranian menace.
Trump is motivating Europeans to vote for their interests and not national suicide.
Trump is pushing China back in every area of planet earth.
Why give all that away to totalitarian butchers?
This is a BAD plan!
.
If a plan allows a win for ‘us’ and a gracious congeniality prize for others, how much worse off do you want to place the ‘losers’ in, and still be considered a peace advocate?
Please walk us through a hypothetical example of how this Chinese guarantee would work. Let’s say that Lukashenko passes on of natural causes, and the EU mobilizes its NGOs and usual methods in an attempt to “promote Democracy” (i.e., put a pro-Western/anti-Russian government in place) in Belarus. Does China intervene politically before the fact to guarantee only a pro-Russian government comes to power? If an anti-Russian government comes to power anyway, what does China do? What if the people of Belarus overwhelmingly desire to join the EU and the West?
“Russia doesn’t like China”
In the cobwebs of my mind, this goes back so long now, I recall it being said that it was the sanctions that unfortunately pushed Russia towards China- like them or not, they needed to do what they needed to do.
AND that as soon as we can move to a place where these sanctions are lifted, this should give Russia alternatives and then they won’t need to do so much with China.
Amen to that, SD!
And love the bottom pic!
I remember the cold war, lived with it for 40 plus years (not counting being a little kid). Yep, my attitude dam commies.
But things change people nations attitudes gut feelings and looking at the history of thing. Russia is not the soviet union nor is the U.S. the same. The russians understand nuclear destruction and are no longer a commie cult. They have become pragmatic and more sensible plus they finally understand the true importance of economics (especially when the citizens rise up against you), not some commie heaven where we rule you for our benefit. NO. But we always most remember never trust a commie!
We should work with russia india china the big 4. Put an end to the evil empire uk/europe. Look at who they worship rome and egypt they are fixated on those empires, The old ancient world lost glory. The western hemisphere the U.S. in prearticular are the new world. Progress lives here, we don’t like the idea of living in the dark!
My sincere objection to “security guarantees” is that the entire tripod of “opposing interests” is artificial.
“Europe vs. Russia?” Yeah, many hundreds of years of experience. “Europe vs. China?” They have never yet fought.
The economic rivalries have never yet become military, and I sincerely question whether a military fight would be useful.
Europe vs China.
Well of course you have Russia taking over Port Arthur so there’s that. Plus the Unequal Treaties are still cited as a national disgrace, along with the UK Opium Wars so yes they have indeed fought.
Russia and China have had many border skirmishes. Early on they where brothers in Communisn but that didn’t last long. Right now they see some of their policies alignimg, but I would guess are both wary of the other.
Thanks for this fascinating perspective!
Can’t help but think that besides the dark side of US INTEL being a part of the resistance … that there is a significant part of the US Financial Wall Street crowd also aligned with the resistance.
For the past week driving by 10 “gas stations” .. the price of GASOLINE has remained stable within a 50 cent per gallon band centered on $3.60/gallon … while CONSUMER at POINT of PURCHASE – INFLATION DRIVING Diesel has been on a UPWARD TREND … today at near $5.50/gallon.
Getting Russia and Ukraine to agree could be difficult on account of Zelinski’s being owned by the EU. His government is one big feeding our future scam. The US will need leverage over him that exceeds the leverage of the EU. And in fact the US should probably line up strong and effective leverage over the EU. Let’s stop being nice.
My, my. This all ties up so nicely with a neat little bow. World war Reddit indeed.
Russia with Federov+ Palantir deNazified Europe’s Ukrainian frontline stronghold. BRICS (+ USA) destroyed the globalists financial hegemony. Was Z OUR puppet? The existing sovereign nations get to trade as sovereign nations.
It’s like those dot pictures, one day you can see the outline of the picture.
Having read Revelations I can only hope Trump represents a God given delay in the inevitable outcome of the one world government.
Well done. I hope y’all are on our side.
My prediction:
The Ukraine has been deNazified and, at minimum, Russian heritage people’s lands will be part of Russia. The war is already over, sans loose ends to tie up.
The globalist children of Nazi’s have been stripped of their funding sources and are drawing back to die another day. I suppose it’s possible our corrupt government could destroy it all from within, but I think forces have moved beyond them.
We may have a very period beneficial trade among the sovereign nations.
At some point, perhaps tomorrow, perhaps a thousand years hence, Revelations will be fulfilled. Get right with God.
Don’t underestimate the evil mischief the globalist can do to keep the hate going.
It is the point we are at now, but you are right.
Very dangerous times.
Russia Japan USA secure the Arctic and Pacific
One thing to consider in all this is the demographic shift that will take place in the next 20-30 years.
China will be hit worst because of their One (male) child policy. They are losing people like crazy and their birth rate is such they cannot reverse it. In twenty years they will be under 1 Billion people, then under India, then in 50 or so on par with the USA (if we keep growing).
Russia has one third of our population and is not growing either..
Europe is a goner too, and the people they are importing are not the technologically advanced, but primitives with a palm-up hand greeting.
We are going to step back under 300 mm when the Boomers die off. The oldest boomers are 80 and the youngest are 62. That also means the Oldest Gen Xers are 61. Birth Rate in the Genx and following generations is about 1.8. I am a Twin and 72 and between my two and my brothers five children we have one grandchild, and all of our kids are all 30+.
This realignment is meant to bring home all of the jobs factories, industry, and supply chains to our borders, because frankly China will not have the people needed for the Globalists to use as a manufacturing base for the entire world. We may not be just the most capable, and the most advanced but the only country with enough working age people to make the things the world needs.

On the brink of a global demographic catastrophe
https://en.topwar.ru/288577-na-poroge-mirovoj-demograficheskoj-katastrofy.html
Yup! That’s it. One exception to that I think, however. Conservative, faithful religious families. I do believe the meek shall inherit the earth, or so I’m told.
About that demographic shift I have one word: ROBOTICS. Think about the implications.
How about 2001, A Space Odyssey Dave?
Nope. robotics are not a long-term tool. The Christian west needs to get back to basics, their Faith and Families, large families!
Too many moving pieces, too many players, nobody from the globalists, the WEF, or anybody else who benefits from the way things are wants to change that.
Mutual guarantees and big alliances make for big wars.
If Britain had let Germany and Poland sort out their border dispute without telling Poland that Britain was on their side, there would have been no WWII.
If Russia could defeat Ukraine/NATO quickly, those proposed ends would be achieved, and no need to try and cobble together any ”deal” that needs too many people to play along.
Maybe Russia isnt as strong and smart as it claims.
Maybe it can’t defeat NATO/Ukraine for another year or two.
The longer it drags on, the more time the world order has to try different schemes.
The war is in Europe, China cannot back up Russia; it is too far away,it was never a European land power, nor is or was the USA. The USA has always been an expeditionary force and has gone on safaris in Europe.
The USA was always dragged into UK schemes.
There is no substitute for victory. Wars need a winner and a loser.
The USA war with Iran is in a similar situation. The IRGC will not submit;,they have to be put down. The on-again, off-again war, the we have a deal, etc., etc.
It’s inconclusive, and they are waiting for the midterms, since everything in the USA runs on the election cycles and nobody in office wants to give up power because power allows corruption, theft, and indulgence of any perversion money can buy.
Britain and the banks have been the force behind all world conflicts for the past 300 years and more. The British Empire never went away. It is well past the time to bring the whole rotten edifice down around their ears.
Wow! Hadn’t thought of this angle .
This is so brilliant!
You have to think that President Trump and his cabinet have considered these same connected issues. He’s done a great job finding work-arounds. Looking at it from this perspective it highlights why the Londonists are so desperate to prevent peace from breaking out.
(Every time I see the mantra, “Democracy dies in darkness” I can’t figure out whether to laugh – consider the source – or punch someone.)
Punch them.
from your pen to President Trump’s ears. Although I’m gathering the thoughts came from him first.
I can’t see any upside for China or India in this “strategic partnership.”
Then : Argentina was socialist UK was Thatcher USA Reagan.
Now : Milei Burnham Trump.
It’s world turned around
Wonder how Xi is doing against his deep state?
The greatest thing Trump could do is fix the US domestic scene. Why are Presidents such megalomaniacs in foreign policy?
His policies are fixing the domestic scene. This past week’s jobs report is one example. Of course nothing happens quickly. The trend is positive.
Wait until USA manufacturing starts to build up steam. Then you will see real progress and growth.
I remember my parents talking about if America gives up manufacturing in USA, America is screwed, how right they were, I recall growing up in the 80’s, the highest paying jobs were in manufacturing, people weren’t going to college, they were getting into manufacturing after high school, they could support a family, buy a house, go on vacation, with only one parent working, Trump is bringing those days back.
Excellent analysis and proposal. Hope Sundnace has a seat at the table at WH
…and / or vice versa, with candor … ; )
Love thy neighbors
Yeah! They’re both in Florida, right?
I like the idea, though it’s hard to imagine that the EU would drop their sanctions against Russia. There is a risk that they would instead beg China to fill the role they were originally asking of the US: to help them invade Russia and steal her resources.
Of course, the AfD’s recent win in Germany might knock the EU’s rudder off-course a bit. They can’t maintain a unified front against Russia if their globalist idiots are being voted out.
I think China is the EU’s second biggest trading partner. The top partner being the US. That’s a lot of leverage keeping the EU’s war against Russia in check.
Great article. Is the alliance now trying g to negotiate the end of the Ukraine/russia war? I’m sure little Z will do everything g in his power to prevent thst from happening. We need economic relief NOW if we are to win the mid-terms.
Putin’s Final Ultimatum to Ukraine: Withdraw from Donbas or Face Mega Strike
As a Cold War warrior of the past, I always maintained that once the wall came down and the USSR was no more, that we should have allied immediately with the Russians. Yes, there would have been some hiccups along the way but the end result would have been a golden age. And NATO no longer was needed.
I’ve been saying this for the last 2 years. “When you stop beating your head against the wall it will feel better when you quit”.
We have a brilliant President, and yet, the outcome of the midterms is in doubt. Pretty disgusting commentary on the voting public, legal and illegal.
>Who would benefit from such a strategic partnership?
Germany.
Where have we heard that before? “Security guarantees”. Nobody out there trust each other. Can you trust a Commie or Moslem. Both live the LIE.
Why promote China? Your approach assumes China is benign and, having been raised by the US to centre stage, would not want more.
A deal with Russia makes sense for all the reasons you cite. Promoting China to equal status would be a terminal blight on Trump’s legacy which, up til now, has sought to reduce China and its influence.
China could only read a deal that raised it to co-equal status with the USA, at the behest of the USA, as the USA surrendering to the inevitability of Chinese dominance. This would likely lead China to grasp for its Middle Kingdom cultural pretensions as soon as it could.
Raising China unnecessarily would be a massive strategic error that would likely lead to war as China exerted its dominance to gain all the Islands and seas it claims as well as settle old scores with South Korea and of course Japan. It could then turn to its future rival – India.
Such a deal would be very strongly opposed by Japan, India, Indonesia, Philippines, South Korea, Singapore, Vietnam, Malaysia and others. It would cede the whole Western Pacific to China.
Funny, your last paragraph should be up to those countries, right? Why do you think Trump has pushed those countries with issues about the Iran War or war games with South Korea?
We want out of Ukraine and let the Europeans take care of their backyard, but we don’t want Southeast Asian nations to take care of theirs.
IMO, the Russian Federation will team with the United States to provide power to Africa. Russia already has agreements with ~20 African nations. USA has better Small Nuclear Reactors. The French have been kicked out.
A Russia/USA African development alliance will be advertised as ‘non-threatening’ and ‘humane’, and a perfect ‘neutral’ way for Russia to partner the US.
Putin:
“Russia is offering comprehensive support, including fuel supply, training, and ongoing maintenance through state-owned agencies, beyond just providing concrete and reactors.”
Russian Ministry of Energy’s Vice-Director of International Cooperation, Dmitry Poduev:
“Russia has and will continue to be a partner for Africa. We are ready to cooperate in various different fields… and are open to negotiations.”
Chris Wright, U.S. Secretary of Energy:
“The United States will embrace energy from a diversity of sources – from coal to natural gas to nuclear power to solar energy – to increase access across Africa.”
PDJT:
“Africa has tremendous business potential. I have so many friends going to your countries trying to get rich, I congratulate you. They are spending a lot of money. But it does, it has tremendous business potential.”
Example:
Rwanda signed a development agreement with the US firm Holtec International to assess the deployment of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs). Also, Rwanda has plans with Russia’s Rosatom to construct a Centre for Nuclear Science and Technology, and provide technical training for Rwandan students in nuclear science at Russian universities.
Nice. I like it. Just get the muzzies out of Africa; safer for everyone, especially Christians!
Zelensky says it’s not going to happen anytime soon:
https://www.breitbart.com/news/us-envoys-discuss-with-putin-substantive-plans-for-steps-to-end-ukraine-war/
Sorry, Sundance, but I don’t think you’ve looked clearly enough at Russia’s fundamental demands that need to be met before they will even begin to negotiate with Trump. They haven’t changed since the meeting in Alaska, and they are not going to change. He repeated it to Witkoff on this latest meeting. It’s pretty black and white and I can see not even a hint of Putin coming off that precondition nor Trump ever agreeing to it. The US/NATO will never be in a position to take Russia’s physical assets as Trump did in Venezuela without that beachhead in Ukraine. Putin will not alllow us to build it up again. Period. The man is not stupid and Russia First drives all his decisions.
When I suggested a Russia-USA deal might be in the works yesterday,
“President Trump must have some kind of deal in mind that he thinks both sides can accept. I hope he’s thinking a way around the ‘Middle Powers’ push toward WWIII. Almost certainly it has to involve money, and probably oil. Maybe some kind of US-Russia-Ukraine energy consortium, with an enticing ‘special offer’ for the Europeans—a guarantee of oil and gas for them?”
I thought about the ‘security guarantee’ issue that Little-Z raises constantly, but assumed the USA, not China. But you make a good point re our 4-year Presidential elections. Another Globalist administration could put WWIII back on track. But including China in a three-way USA-Russia-China Arctic Consortium, with a treaty pact, could create a power center that would stifle Euro-Canadian craziness, and guarantee Ukrainian neutrality—a Ukraine without the Donbas region (now Russian), and not part of NATO. Ukraine could end up like an eastern Switzerland.
How would China respond?
It sounds good on paper. A guarantor is one who would get involved in spite of their own benefits (or lack thereof). I don’t see China doing that.
I think what’s happening here is a trap to corner little-Z. Russia is offering more than it would ever… but would little-Z accept?
Unlikely given the EU unwilling to and their push for a larger conflict.
But, then the trap is for the US to withdraw all support (intel and weapons) to Ukraine while Russia goes on a major push. Little-Z will then have to accept something much worse then today. And it will be their and EU’s fault.
So, IF the President can broker an end to World War Reddit before the Midterms, the sanctions will end, the oil will flow, prices will drop, Iran will be defeated without a single boot having to hit the ground, and the entire EU/Bank of London system will collapse….
Puts a whole new spin on the phrase October Surprise, doesn’t it?
WORTH NOTING…
Yes. US Democrats would also oppose it.
Yes! SPIT!!!
Opening up Russian energy would remove a lot of leverage CCP China has over Russia? No?
