European defense industries have been expanding the production of missiles and drones for use in Ukraine. For years, Moscow has watched and seemingly tolerated the use of British, German and Polish military warehouses to manufacture drones and weapons which are then used to target Russia and kill Russian civilians.
It is these targets which Europe has placed on high alert, while simultaneously mixing in false flag alerts and events to scare the European population and rally them for increased spending and expanded conflict. However, a large part of the European citizenry can see the EU operations clearly (see recent German examples).
Against this backdrop, Russian President Vladimir Putin delivers the following remarks (transcript):
President of Russia Vladimir Putin: Good afternoon, colleagues,
Today, we will talk about the new draft State Armament Programme and the defence industry development programme. They will become the backbone for designing and serial production of modern weapons systems and hardware for our army and other defence and law enforcement agencies for them to be ready for a rapid and effective response to potential external threats.
As you know, such threats are not abating. NATO is “swelling” and expanding and has now extended its reach to other regions of the world. Certain European leaders are openly declaring that they are preparing for war with Russia. In my view, they are merely trying to salvage their plummeting approval ratings by concealing the failures of their economic and social policies. This approach is clearly ineffective – it does not produce results.
Instead of listening to their citizens – who have made it abundantly clear through elections that they do not want war with Russia – these leaders continue to escalate tensions. They are exploiting the situation in Ukraine to exacerbate the crisis, using the Ukrainian people as cannon fodder.
“Their arguments invariably boil down to a few points. One of them is the assertion that Ukraine is ostensibly defending European values, European civilisation and democracy. Yet how can the current regime in Ukraine claim to be defending democracy when it has long since degenerated into dictatorship? No one wants to address this point.
It is common knowledge that no elections are being held in Ukraine. Power has been seized by a clique of embezzlers and corrupt officials who need war to retain their positions in the absence of elections and to maintain the conditions necessary for the plunder of their own people – enriching themselves with funds from sponsors, including those in Europe. And is this totally corrupt regime really the principal defender of democracy in Europe? It sounds rather strange.
The Ukrainian leadership, as you know, is in no hurry to hold elections; moreover, it is actively trying to hinder us. You are aware that quite recently, the Kiev regime committed yet another crime – it struck the residential building of the chairwoman of a district electoral commission in the village of Oktyabrskoye in the Zaporozhye Region. The chairwoman of the commission, Yelena Astanina, was tragically killed. Today, I signed an Executive Order posthumously awarding her the Order of Courage.
Representatives of the Kiev regime – the leadership in Kiev – speak of peace and propose the resumption of so-called negotiations. Yet, even as they commit crimes of this nature, they do everything in their power to ensure that there is neither peace nor negotiations. Otherwise, one must ask: what is the purpose of these actions? To intimidate us? It is clear to everyone that this is impossible. Therefore, the objective can only be one: they have no intention whatsoever of conducting any negotiations – that is what it is all about.
I have also said about some European leaders: to justify their position and exorbitant spending on the war in Ukraine, they are using absolutely anything. In particular, one of the basic claims is an alleged threat from Russia.
I want to say this again: Russia has no aggressive intentions regarding Europe or European countries. We simply have no reasons for this. We are ready for cooperation and restoring relations with our European neighbours.
Nevertheless, we have also noted another round of military drill held quite recently in the Baltic Sea. One of their objectives was to master seizing civilian vessels. Is that normal? All the time they are speaking about protecting international law, about observing its rules, while getting ready for capturing civil ships.
Meanwhile, the same people are displaying so-called concern and denouncing everything unfolding in the Strait of Hormuz and the Strait of Bab el-Mandeb. But what are they really doing? What are they getting ready for? I just want to tell them: let’s live in harmony instead; otherwise, we’ll have to respond too. This should be obvious for everybody, a clear truism. It won’t be otherwise.
The basic areas of the new State Armament Programme have been determined with due account of the world situation, the special military operation experience and the global trends in military technologies. The top priorities include, as before, the strengthening of the nuclear triad that remains the guarantee of our country’s sovereignty and plays a key role in preserving the balance of force in the world.
I want to point out that hardly any nuclear country can boast such figures as, for example, those of our Strategic Missile Forces – 92 percent modernisation, that is, modern armaments.
Another priority area of the new state programmes will be the improvement of the air defence system. It has to ensure destruction of any means of air and space attack.
Special attention will be given to developing a broad range of unmanned robot-assisted systems of various profiles as well as to precision munitions.
We need to fully complete the orbital constellation of spacecraft. This will enhance the capabilities of all types of space reconnaissance, navigation, satellite communication and broadband internet access for the real-time command and control of troops and weapons.
In the course of implementing the proposed programmes, work to develop and introduce advanced digital technologies and AI will be continued.
I want to emphasise that all the items and parameters of the new State Armament Programme require rational, carefully calibrated and effective solutions. This is what we are going to discuss.
There are some other issues but we will discuss them in a closed-door format.”

“They are exploiting the situation in Ukraine to exacerbate the crisis, using the Ukrainian people as cannon fodder.”
By “the crisis” and “the situation” I presume he means the war which HE started when he INVADED Ukraine?
Oh forget it. I’ve had it with all of them, Russia, EU, NATO, UK, Europe, all of them. Every last bloviating one of them seems determined to have ANOTHER general European war and each is making their excuses why THEY have no choice but to engage in it. All ALL of them need to do is just go home, withdraw their arms and their military and just go home. And what is so frustrating is that they are all being goaded into it by forces on the sidelines determined to see the end of Christianity.
Everyone. Just withdraw. Just go home.
Ukraine’s Euromaidan Revolution in 2014 established the basis for the present war, a war which the US set the stage for by encouraging and actively precipitating in that ‘Revolution’…….As George Washington stated, the US should NOT be entangled/involved in ANY European political squabbles.
slap, poke, slap, poke, slap, poke, slap, poke, slap, poke, slap, poke.
You are close focusing on a single poke, or maybe a slap, hard to tell the difference. It would be just as valid to say that the basis for the current war was the holodomor. Russia is a Eurasian country that always wanted to be European. Fine. Now they are European. And I’m just as sick of them. I want to see Russia put in its application for membership in NATO.
You appear to be ‘enamored’ with the current European situation. I could care less other than the fact that WE-the US- are involved. The ONLY party I want to ‘go home’ is…the US. Trade with Europe when it’s to our MUTUAL benefit. Other than that…..nada.
Ukraine. Across its eastern border is Russia and to its west-Europe. For centuries, it has been at the center of a tug-of-war between powers seeking to control its rich lands and access to the Black Sea. 2014’s Maidan Massacre triggered a bloody uprising that ousted president Viktor Yanukovych and painted Russia as the perpetrator by Western media. But was it? “Ukraine on Fire” by Igor Lopatonok provides a historical perspective for the deep divisions in the region which lead to the 2004 Orange Revolution, 2014 uprisings, and the violent overthrow of democratically elected Yanukovych. Covered by Western media as a people’s revolution, it was in fact a coup d’état scripted and staged by nationalist groups and the U.S. State Department. Investigative journalist Robert Parry reveals how U.S.-funded political NGOs and media companies have emerged since the 80s replacing the CIA in promoting America’s geopolitical agenda abroad.
Nuland or Powers? They’re both so evil I can’t remember!
They work together.
2014 was planned by Vicky Nuland…handmaiden of Evil
the phrase “entangling alliances” actually was used by Jefferson in his first inaugural address in 1801. Splitting hairs but I like history.
Who started it? Why did Russia invade? What were they responding to? Have you really forgotten already? That’s about as stupid as saying Israel should not have responded to the Oct 7th attack.
Alan Alda is a hard core Libtard. Is that why you chose Trapper as your screen name?
Russia is responding to the West breaking their treaty by leaving nations bordering on Russia into NATO and trying to include Ukraine in that.
Russia is responding to Obama, Clinton and Nuland overthrowing a duly democratically elected pro Russian government by Neo-Nazis. ( on the second election, the firs one was fixed)
Russia is responding to missiles shot into the ethnic Russian areas of the Ukrainian break away republics killing ethnic Russians.
Russia was responding to the weakness of the west when they retook Crimea.
Russia was responding to the disastrous military withdrawal from Afghanistan. No response to his build up of troops on the border, and lack of diplomacy by the Biden administration.
Yes Putin invaded, but wars seldom have one cause, and each country sees it differently. Russia saw NATO expansion on it’s borders as a threat and the Ukrainian revolution as a threat to Russia from the west, so took the fight to the west.
You may disagree with Putin’s logic, but Russia understands the west covets it’s resources and Russia wants nothing to do with the one world government, so Putin isn’t entirely wrong in his logic.
Regardless it is where we are at, pretty much a stalemate and the threat of nuclear weapons hangs over us all. President Trump seems the only one still interested in diplomacy. The root of the problem was US meddling in 2014 by the Obama administration.
Personally I don’t think it is to restore the area of the Soviet Union. Russia doesn’t have the manpower or economy to restore Russian dominance over all the old Soviet republics or Imperial Russian ruled areas.
“Russia is responding to missiles shot into the ethnic Russian areas of the Ukrainian break away republics killing ethnic Russians.” And how did those ethnic Russians get there? And Vlad is such a delicate little flower that we can bait him into doing whatever we want him to do? That’s the argument? “I’m not touching you”?
Bored with this already. As always, it’s a bankers’ war. How they manipulate the players into killing each other is just the side show.
What would victoria nuland do?
Whatever she was told to do.
Victoria Nuland, Maïdan.
The ethnic Russians got there under Joe Stalin. Stalin moved whole populations to strengthen Soviet power, he moved Great Russians in and local populations out. Those people have been there for generations,, so it is their home. Would you ask American of European descent to go home? Or Americans of African or Asian descent to go home? The past is unchangeable, we have to deal with reality today.
1943–1944: the peak of Stalin’s ethnic deportations. Entire peoples—including the Karachays, Kalmyks, Chechens, Ingush, Balkars, and Crimean Tatars—were deported to Siberia, Kazakhstan, and Central Asia. About 1.1 million people were affected in these wartime operations. The deported populations were not necessarily replaced immediately by Russians, but their homelands were politically and demographically reorganized afterward.
1945–1953: the strongest period of postwar Russification and Russian/Slavic settlement, especially in the Baltic republics, western Ukraine, Belarus, and parts of Kazakhstan. Russian-speaking workers, administrators, soldiers, and industrial settlers were moved into areas whose local populations had been deported, killed, fled, or politically repressed.
Bored?? Take a break, go watch CNN and catch up on today’s “news”…
I’m guessing bad code.
Ukrainians killed 12-14,000 Ukrainian-Russians in the east since 2014. Russia’s been pleading
for years for them to stop. Guess Putin finally said “nyet”.
How’s the Russians get there? Hundreds of years of intermarriage.
The territory has always been part of Russia. Am I wrong?
Likely as the people in the East are descendants of those in the Settlement of the Pale. Which was Russian territory gained by Catherine the Great, iirc.
Thanks, I know. The question was for Trapper who apparently doesn’t know.
Look back a bit further. And my screen name has nothing to do with mash.
It’s called sarcasm. Alda is smarter.
No, actually he wasn’t. He served in the US Navy and became an extremely important money manager and investor. Also, was in one of the greatest movies of all time before MASH, Cool Hand Luke.
Alan Alda was Captain Benjamin Franklin “Hawkeye” Pierce in the TV series M*A*S*H.
Trapper was the other guy!?/
Alan Alda’s screen name was Hawkeye.
The Trapper John character was played by Wayne Rogers.
Are all your spewings so erroneous?
Are you still trying to sell that swill that Putin just randomly decided to invade The Borderlands??
Putin no doubt blew up the pipelines that were making Russia so much money?
No. My point, I suppose, is that Putin has been manipulated and maneuvered, just as the globalist “leaders” have also been, into starting a conflagration, the latest bankers’ war, the intended outcome of which is the permanent destruction of The West and Christianity. “Who started it” is completely irrelevant. I just want to see 47 put an end to the entire process, and he ain’t getting much help from any of them. All of them seem to want a European war.
I understand frustration with the disfunctional situation, but if your so bored and tired of it, just quit.
You forgot the /sarc tag trapper.
Yep you need to forget it.. you obviously did pay attention in the beginning and missed the start.. hard to know what’s really happening when don’t show up till half time
Obama akbar!
Russia’s expansionist ambitions go back centuries, well before the Soviet Empire. Instead of hyperventilating over recent events being used to justify Russia’s most recent invasion of another country (is no one here Polish?) it would do some here well to read some histories of Russia. Putin is just the latest in the long unbroken line of Russia’s strongman rulers going all the way back through the Tsars, and they ALL had territorial ambitions.
And I’ve still had it with Europe as well. I wish 47 would put up a post that the US is not going to participate in a third European war. There is nothing they have that we need, so they can bomb each other into a heaping pile of rubble and live it for a century for all I care. We are NOT going to rebuild them, again.
Why would Russia want Europe`s problems? Did you forget the US and Russia were once allies? One of the czars sent a fleet to protect the west coast of the US from invasion by England. But really, what would benefit Russia from aquiring the problems Europe?
True.
Were it not for the Russian navy we might still be a “colony”.
Europe should want Russia, they know how to deal with Muslims, they have been doing that for centuries.
US & USSR WW2 allies ? — IMO, yes; but in a narrow way: We used them; they used us; and FDR was stupid/naive about the USSR.
I agree that Russia’s rulers of the 18th century sided with the Americans.
I agree that Russia would not benefit “from aquiring the problems of Europe.”
Russia already has experience with the world’s worst false religion — the Russians don’t want to absorb more of the world’s worst false religion in Europe.
I especially like the history lessons that go back centuries and countries never change. Same country as in 1928 too?
If my great grand father came back and looked at London and New York City, he would agree they are the same old great cities they have always been. You just have to watch out for the Islamists, the needles, and the poop and I forgot there are more Communists running around in both than in Moscow.
I am very aware of both the Soviet and Imperial Russia’s expansonist ambition. I think what Russia wants right now more than anything is to be left alone which the West refuses to do. Again they don’t have the military, population or economy to dominate anyyone Their foray into Ukraine has hardly been overwhelming like Germany’s blitzkeig. The Soviets didn’t do any better in Afghanistan. Not only can’t Russia conquer Europe they could never hold it if they did for all the previousl listed reasons.
Now do Napoleon and Hitler’s invasions………
Western intelligence started the war by interfering in the Ukraine once the coup was successful the provocations began. Russia provoked until they had enough. The international deep state war and yes the goal us to destroy Eastern & Western Christianity.
🙏 unceasingly
Trapper, I think the Russians, who live in harmony with many States, know a lot more about Ukraine than you do, reclining and pontificating in your armchair.
They include about all the ethnic Russians in the Eastern regions, who were coming under attack from the Western regions Banderista cultists.
I have held precisely the same opinion that you have, thank you. Invasion of another country is what the Soviets used to do but I guess you can’t teach an old dog new tricks even in the 21st century. Europe overall (even as corrupt as it is) has not forgotten the 70 + years of occupation by Russians, the continual arrests or murder for any speech or action against the occupiers, the slave labor camps the arrested were sent to in Siberia never to be heard from again and the Holodomor – an engineered famine perpetrated by Russia on Ukraine which killed millions. Had the US not helped Ukrainians depose the Putin stooge Yanukovich in the Maidan revolt, Russia would have continued to exert its control over and subordinate Ukraine to remain a country declared to be sovereign but still a captive of Russia much like Belarus has been for many years without the freedom it has sought for many years. What the US has done to Ukraine in terms of establishing the bio-lab network across the country and promoting activity there that would cause concern to Russia is inexcusable and sadly is in part responsible for the situation today.
HE NEVER STARTED IT. The US backed a coup to take out the elected president of Ukrain who was friendly with Russia. The Russian speaking people of the east felt betrayed and let the same be known. The Ukrainian military then started shelling the Donbass and over time they killed 14,000 civilians. Russia ended up having to cross the border to save the Russian speaking Ukrainians from being exterminated. By the way, the Ukrainians are pro-Nazi. The Azov battalion sport swastikas on their uniforms. They used to march through Kiev chanting “Jews out.” Many streets in Kiev are also named after Nazis such as Stepan Bandera. Please read your history before making such statements.
I would disagree that he never started it. Yanokovich, the “president” that was ousted in fact was in talks with the EU in order to improve ties with Europe and move away from Russia who has been Ukraine’s adversary since the Tsarist days. Russia placed enormous pressure on him not to sign an agreement and he caved. This angered the population because Ukraine has always sought to have better relations with Europe than Russia. The “coup” was welcomed by the citizens because as he was escaping Ukraine to go to Russia (Moscow) he left behind documentation that was partially destroyed which included instructions from Russia how to run the country to weaken the military among other things and keep Ukraine tied to Russia and not Europe. So basically he was a Putin stooge. As far as Donbass was concerned, Russia had sent undercover paramilitary to organize protests against the government with the Russian speaking people there inspiring them to demand secession. Ukraine’s leadership tried to arrange an agreement to end the push for secession but Russian propaganda won out. (Great link which tells this story: https://www.kyivpost.com/post/70497). The Ukrainians are not pro-Nazi to the extent that you are claiming: supporting the extermination of peoples that don’t fit their desires like the Nazis did. This reference has its origin with the fact that in WW2 when the Germans came to Ukraine heading to Russia, Russians who had been occupying Ukraine for years had to flee. Ukrainians saw the Germans as liberators and offered to fight with the Nazis against their oppressors, Russians. At first, this seemed like a great idea but quickly Ukrainians learned that the Nazis were no better than the Russians and were persecuting and murdering Ukrainians so that idea was abandoned. The Azov battalion sports swastikas because they see the Nazis as Russia’s enemy and after all that Russia has done to Ukraine, Russia is viewed as the enemy of Ukraine as well. And yes, Ukrainians have a checkered history in relation to the Jews. Many Ukrainians hid Jews from the Nazis when they spent time occupying Ukraine during the war but there are also Ukrainians that hold a resentment toward Jews that is a common feeling in other countries as well.
Russia invaded Ukraine to relieve the aggression ethnic Russians were subject to by Ukraine. What was the point for Ukraine to antagonize, threaten and actively attack these ethnic Russians in the first place?
The U.S. created this conflict.
Don’t ask me how I know this.
Ask yourself why you don’t.
“More patiented misadventures from the Letter Agencies”.
Ukraine was/is a CIA/MI6 op. Nuland and Powers need to rot in hell, soon.
Europe and co have proven to be more trouble than they are worth.
Yeah. Since at least the French Revolution.
From a purely human perspective, it is my sincere belief that Putin is the greatest world leader in my 62 years of life.
And that’s precisely why they (It?) hate him with such diabolical intensity.
Trump has had greater positive impact for the USA and internationally than Putin, and it is not even close.
I believe that President Putin and President Trump are of the same mindset; peace and prosperity for their citizens.
While we watch the EU and Ukraine do everything they can to destroy their own people. There is not only the war that they (Ms. von der Leyen & co.,) continue to push for, there is the unwanted mass invasion from peoples not compatible with their citizens that they encourage and invite into their countries; in spite of the citizen protests. They burden their citizens with the “global warming” hype, inflate the costs of everything in their countries until their citizens can no longer thrive. Who benefits from their policies?
The “global elites” have stolen as much wealth from their nations as they can steal, and now they want to encompass the globe with their greedy, power-hungry dictates. They are pure EVIL.
“I believe that President Putin and President Trump are of the same mindset; peace and prosperity for their citizens.”
^^^^^^^ THIS ^^^^^^^
Both are patriots for their respective countries, which is why there is such a visceral hatred from the one-worlders to stop both of them from cooperating.
Spot on comment
PDJT and Putin are Nationalist looking out for their country’s best interest
Cui bono, indeed.
Russia want the Donbas and it’s rich natural resources, and also it’s farmland for it’s rich soil at the least to settle the war.
Russia also covets the major warn weather shipping port on the Black sea of Odessa. That will be a tough one to get as it would leave Ukraine defacto landlocked for maritime trade, economically Ukraine would suffer and it is a major food supplier to the world.
With respect, since this is prior ro your 62 years, one must view a longer term position. That position is the wealth that created the Russian Revolution with one intenet, became in a sense a engine out of control. Weath 22 million $ by the likes of Rockefeller etc. into the Revolution in 1917, opened the throttle. Stalin consolidated his power in the Soviet Union between 1924 and 1929, following Lenin’s death. As General Secretary of the Communist Party, he gradually placed loyal supporters in key positions and defeated his political rivals, including Trotsky, Zinoviev, Kamenev, and Bukharin. By 1929, Stalin had become the undisputed leader of the Soviet Union, although he strengthened his personal dictatorship further through collectivization, industrialization, and the purges of the 1930s. This in 1928 that continues to be ignored:
– 1928 – Origin or genesis of the Totalitarian New World Order. This through Environmental mental fear application. At the Sixth Party Congress held in Moscow in 1928, Communists wrote and approved “The Program” to bring in the New World Order. What most Americans cannot comprehend is the real nature of this diabolical criminal scheme. The Program of the Third International called for a global environmental program for transformation of all human beings on earth to accept the New World Order. These and other facts are brought to light by General Benton Partin in his videotape, Globalism: The Program. This through the above 1923-6 continuing Rockefeller Psychopolitics education program. Now think; 1892, 1904,1913,1923,1926,1934, 1945 and on to this: Whttp://http://www.slideshare.net/slideshow/embed_code/38199716
Trump’s instinct on NATO is correct. We should leave. But it should be a total focus on own hemisphere. Europe, Asia, Africa are on their own. This whole mess of defending Japan and Taiwan but not Korea, Israel but not Saudi Arabia.
Stop all of it and go back to Monroe – the Americas only.
courtesy of treeper “Grasshopper”:
“As of 2024, a special law requires that any withdrawal from NATO
must also receive consent from two-thirds of the Senate
or be approved through an Act of Congress.”
I’d say NATO is no longer a defensive alliance since it attacked Serbia, Libya and now by proxy Russia.
All to further Organized Crime, Drug Trafficking, Bio-Labs, Child Trafficking, Regime Change, Islamo-Terrorism, etc. for the Clinton/Soros/Obama Globo-Homo Syndicate.
If Congress’s “Stop Trump from Messing with Our Money Laundering and Child-Trafficking”-law is legal, which I doubt, it still cannot stop a CINC from pulling all the troops, a separate matter entirely.
The Ukraine is Congress’ honeypot! I don’t see any desire in Congress to end the war! Especially the military contractors aka the military industrial complex who donate to members of Congress! They are running at full capacity between the Ukraine and Iran! War is an abomination but a profitable one! JMO
President Trump would not have to withdraw officially from NATO. He could just bring all the troops home and close all of the US bases.
yes, to both you and TGL.😁
just gently reminding any “Trump hasn’t withdrawn us from NATO yet!”
criticisms that it’s not a simple, unilateral action that PT can take,
thanks to biden and his TDS infested congress.
TDS infected Congress was a whole lot of Republicans too.
My exact thoughts as well. Bypass having to go thru anything Congressional or Senate from all the do nothings that can only write sternly worded letters of outrage between enriching themselves from taxpayer funding bills outside of our country that get washed back into their retirement accounts offshore and insider trading that is forbidden for the rest of the peons working and paying taxes.
Much of NATO said no to helping us with Iran. No overflights, no tankers, no combat aircraft, no troops…no nothing.
Just turn off the NATO phone when they call.
i like it!
“block and report spam”. 🤣
President Trump can pull the USA out of NATO anytime he so chooses…
The “special law” you mention is so poorly written it is chock full of loopholes that the President can use if he wants to cancel NATO membership…
Plus, if the President doesn’t want to piss off the “congress”, all he has to do is stop sending $$$, arms, and ammo to NATO and NATO will kick the USA out…
When it’s all said and done, methinks you will find that President Trump and President Putin have agreed on how to handle the EU threat to Russia…
Congressional Research Service
Separation of Powers and NATO Withdrawal
February 27, 2026
http://www.congress.gov
a detailed and even handed discussion regarding any legal or political challenge
to a unilateral withdrawal from NATO by the President.
however, it is a distinct possibility that SCOTUS would rule as they WANT to rule,
overlooking some merits in favor of others, as we have seen in recent cases.
file:///var/mobile/Library/SMS/Attachments/30/00/94487EA8-1959-42D6-A226-E9BCECCC29F5/R48868.1.pdf
“In sum, existing Supreme Court precedent may not provide a clear answer on the question that
would be presented by a President’s claim of exclusive authority to withdraw from the North
Atlantic Treaty in contravention of Section 1250A.”
Excuse me, I don’t recall where the Constitution grants the Supreme Courts Jesters authority to conduct international affairs, issue White House entry passes, or determine immigration policy, among many other subjects.
the reply was to specifically address the repercussions
of a unilateral withdrawal from NATO by PT.
nearly inevitable that lawfare would jump into action to try and block such a move,
and the case would wind up before SCOTUS.
if you read the PDF, you will discover the ins and outs of why leaving NATO
is not as simple as it sounds – politically or legally.
as to the constitutionality of it , dems would use a suit to attempt to
further narrow the powers delegated to the Presidency.
in the near term, i favor what many here have suggested,
namely: cut or withdraw funding, draw down or eliminate troop deployments in NATO countries,
defer requests for assistance in and to UKR…sort of a SILENT partner approach.😁
Thank you for confrming my statement, zoom…
Thank Rubio for removing the Presidents ability to exit NATO.
Yes, and while we are thanking Rubio, let’s also thank him for being anti-2nd Amendment for his entire political carreer, thank him for voting for amnesty for the illegal invaders everytime it came up in “congress”, and thank him for being a member of schumer’s “Gang of Eight”…
He (President Putin) ain’t wrong.
Want to see the EUnuchs cringe? Send Radcliffe over to Russia personally again. Only this time take Bessent with him.
Sploddy heads at the EU!!!
Interesting concept when their heads are firmly entrenched up their pompous asses. A 2fer!!!
Oh no!!! ROFLOL!!!
That would be brilliant. The low IQ minds around the world would become hysterical.
The hell with NATO. Lets start a new alliance with Russia.
That is exactly what we need to do…
Timely, given that Russian elections are afoot.
Highly likely that shenanigans from Europe will happen.
President Putin delivered a Nuclear Truth Bomb! That kind of honesty is refreshing.
Naturally, Western Corrupt Media will ignore it.
I’m no fan of Russia for many reasons, but to continually keep poking at them is total insanity. I just hope that all involved keep their fingers off the red buttons.
President Trump, John Ratcliffe, Marco Rubio and Scott Bessent are continually communicating with their counterparts in Russia.
That kind of open and honest dialogue is essential to preventing WW Reddit from becoming WW3.
Wise, intelligent and mature adults representing both countries-with God’s blessings-will keep us safe.
The EuroWeenies are losing the battle on every front. Including their un winnable war against global warming. When will the serfs wake up and sharpen their pitchforks. NATO over expansion was poking the bear in the wrong place. We can’t get out of NATO fast enough. Like the speed the Biden administration hastily retreated out of Afghanistan, only this time we don’t leave behind our weapons.
Macron and Merz are effectively gone. England is gone. Z effectively gone. NATO is soon gone. The Northwest Passage is secured. In the famous words of the Beach Boys, Putin need only wait for daddy to take their “T-Bird” away…
Ursula forgot all about the library.
i DESIRE That TRUMPSTER Takes HER CROWN Also !
Make that T- Bird a Z-Bird.
Zelenskyy isn’t gone yet. Wish he was!
When someone tells you what they are going to do, maybe, just maybe, we ought to be listening …
So.. Putin has the unvarnished score of the whole enchilada.. too bad the US media will never broadcast these truthful remarks
I just wondered has Putin ever given an explanation of why he invaded Ukraine? Ive read some saying about Biden telling the Chinese that Ukraine was to join NATO and President Trump saying Ukraine is the apple of Putin’s eye and Sundance explaining eastern Ukraine was mostly pro Russian but has Putin ever explained it all himself? Because Europe and Zelensky will always argue how Putin is the aggressor who invaded out of the blue and cannot be trusted.
Russia sent troops into Ukraine on February 24, 2022, citing Kiev’s failure to implement the Minsk agreements, designed to give the regions of Donetsk and Lugansk special status within the Ukrainian state. The protocols, brokered by Germany and France, were first signed in 2014. Former Ukrainian President Pyotr Poroshenko has since admitted that Kiev’s main goal was to use the ceasefire to buy time and “create powerful armed forces.” Russia also cited NATO’s military cooperation with Ukraine as one of the root causes of the current conflict. Kiev insists that the Russian offensive was completely unprovoked.
The People’s Republics of Donetsk and Lugansk, as well as Kherson and Zaporozhye Regions, joined Russia as a result of referendums in autumn 2022. Crimea did the same in 2014, following a Western-backed coup in Kiev.
An agreement was signed between Russia and the US in which the US promised not to expand NATO “one inch” eastward. Now NATO is right up to the borders of Ukraine and encircling Russia. This was a betrayal to Putin who wanted Russia to become part of NATO but was rebuffed by George Bush Jr. But if he had become part of NATO, the globalists would lose the chance to attack Russia and attempt to take over the government of Russia. This fantasy on their part appears worth taking the chance of World War III breaking out. They simply do not care about the world’s people. Zelenskyy is a mere puppet.
Thank you very much for the explanation. This helps my understanding. My brother’s widow is from eastern Ukraine and she’s now been very much against Putin since the invasion but her mother, who has fled to western Ukraine because of the bombings, is pro Putin and hates the Ukrainian government.
Apparently, this statement is unverified based on what I see.
“An agreement was signed between Russia and the US in which the US promised not to expand NATO “one inch” eastward.”

President Trump’s 2024 Rally:
“I will end the Ukraine War in 24 hours even before I enter office”

President Trump GAVE THEM ( ALL SIDES ) the OPTIONS to END IT.
I remember watching John Kennedy deliver his national address regarding Soviet missles in Cuba. The presence of such weapons so near to the USA’s border, in Kennedy’s view, was worth war to have them removed. Putin, in my view, is one of the few adults in the international room. His public pronouncements remain well structured and maturely expressed. His actions have been in defense of Russia’s vital national interests as Russians see those interests. President Trump wants to move the USA closer to Russia and actually, in my opinion, it seems he wants an alliance with Russia or, at the very least, a close relationship both economic and military with Russia. Russia historically as far back as the 18th Century, throughout the 19th Century, and except for the 70 years of Communist dictatorship, demonstrated friendship with the USA and the USA reciprocated. Why should it be any different now?
I am curious. What will the US response be to European/NATO antagonization to the point of a kinetic response by Russia. Will the US join onboard with an Article 5 response?
If the EU/NATO initiates things, that would not be a defensive issue, so tough cookies. The EU should just get over trying to money launder things and play nice, with less money, and get rid of their new invaders.
Unless the US steps in Europe ain’t got a chance against Russia.
Europe does not have a chance at the Islamist invaders either. It is going to topple pretty darn soon.
Most are Africans.
President Putin knows that… President Trump knows that… But, the EU ain’t “figgered it out” yet….
Well, I don’t think Russia has clean hands at all after their past 100 years. Recall that they were quite pleased with the agreement with the Nazi’s that gave them a large swarth of Sovereign Poland when the Nazis blitz in from the west. They were content to stand by until Nazis attacked them, dirty to the core. Now, we have the ‘West’ conducting shit against them. Why ? The cold war ended in 89 and we all should have stood down for good. Let’s get the Hell out of Europe and NOT send one troop to Poland!! Let Poland and Europe defend themselves PLEASE!
Article 5 of the NATO agreement is entirely defensive in its focus and intent.
If NATO members initiate, or promote via their proxy Ukraine, aggression against Russia, they should be on their own without kinetic support from the USA.
AMEN!!!
War Mania: “Security Crisis” Announced by Panic-Mongering Euro-Elites
Simplicius
Sep 19, 2026
“…In an unbelievably transparent act of menticide, the BBC even trots out a psychologist to craft the perfect narrative of programming for the public consciousness:
He states the plan openly, a kind of candid hypnosis episode for the suggestibly brainwashed. A masterclass in manipulation, no doubt.
In a coordinated burst of messaging, European leaders and institutions began to warn of a major “crisis” looming ever closer:…”
“…The newly coordinated psyop campaign is planned around a phony false flag which would feature Russian “hybrid attacks” on NATO’s so-called “eastern flank”. From the above Meduza piece:
This is now the scare du jour of the moment, as European leaders desperately struggle to pull Ukraine from the fire:..”

Tuskis a former EU Commission President.
His allegiance remains it seems to that body and not to Poland. It’s why he was installed…by aligning hos party in a coalition with other parties as his did not win outright. There’s parliamentary “democracy for you…
Now, on to the UK which is in full blown fearmongering mode. See the link I’ve left below.
The question is whether actual Brits’ memories are as short as those belonging to too many Americans.
Fresh off the Covid psyops and earlier, the lying pillock Tony Blair who swore up and down that Iraq had WMDs.
Never mind the obvious dissembling about the Islamic invasionary forces being escorted in by British forces daily, boat load after boatload with no end in sight..
Which both Tory and Labour governments protest at the dispatch box that they are truly, honestly, pinky swear promising the government is in top of and sorting out.
Lies, lies, filthy lies.
Government produced hysteria that Russia is all but ready to occupy Westminster is at peak decibels.
Whether the British people believe it is unknown.

I did not see that ZeroHedge article yet today. I probably would have come across it tomorrow, though.
Like fearmongering is percolating throughout all the British print media.
Just like with the Wuhan virus during the recent worldwide plandemic….

TOTALLY THUMBS UP
today, the Prime Minister of Slovakia, Robert Fico, posted this 10 minute (the English translation shows in the feed) video on X/twitter and speaks on this topic and found it encouraging to see there is an adult in the room over there in Europe:
SMART MAN, WISE LEADER
And “they” have already tried to assassinate him for not ‘forcefully’ supporting the nazis in EUkraine.
President of Russia Vladimir Putin:
“In my view, they are merely trying to salvage their plummeting approval ratings by concealing the failures of their economic and social policies.”
Putin must have been a carpenter in his earlier days ’cause the man sure can hit the nail on the head.
I am still curious as to where the EU is finding the industrial base and fuel for this military expansion.
Are EU – Russia // parallel to // Hamas et al. – Israel
So…are all those muzloid imports to the EU going to be cannon fodder against Russia, or will they send their own blood sons to their deaths?
The muzloids are there to conquer the EU, not to fight for them…
And, the EU expects NATO to send our USA Heroes to die fighting Russia for them…
The EU is toast… But, they do now have a new puppet from Canada to help zelenskii lose his war with Russia…
Trump and Putin are the adults in the room. The children need to pay attention.
Excellent. President Putin is a great leader.
