We have a front row seat of the ill intent by the globalists, which puts into question much of the western historical accounts. Thank you for enlightening us!!

Russia and China, even Saudi Arabia to some degree were wise to grab their elite billionaire capitalists & financiers and dial back their greed and corruption. Pity it never happened here in the U.S. or western Europe We are only at the start of our times of real troubles. So many dead souls among us. No statesmen. Just unstoppable evil.

How certain are you that the US wants to end the war? Behind the scattergun statements of Trump, Brian Berletic detects only continuity with well established and documented policies.

Wouldn’t handing the war over to the NATO Europeans serve the purpose of keeping Russia engaged in a war of attrition, maintaining enmity between Russia and the West (thereby ensuring Europe-Russia cannot combine their resources to counter the US) and weakening both Russia and the US vassals?

Exactly. Sow chaos and hatred, cultivate extremism and destabilisation inside Europe, plunder its industries ( Biden Inflation Reduction Axt & Trump Tarrifs), generate demand for Europe to import US weapons…then exit stage left.

"How certain are you that the US wants to end the war? "

.

In his first term Trump did not start a war, likely not in this term too. A highly transactional personality sees deals and trading as the ultimate power, not a war.

In Ukraine, Trump is *not* motivated to stop the war for altruistic or human reasons. He sees that if the war continues as-is US will loose no matter what they do and the last thing he wants to have is to have lost someone else's war in his term, to avoid Afghanistan or Vietnam scenario which fell into his lap.

By taking the front seat in ending the war, he controls the narrative of reason which is the only thing that can oppose and flip the ongoing brainwash of the last decade. Thus he can present himself as a winner even though in practical terms he admits that US has lost this war. He played EuroUtopians and they swallowed the hook, sink and bait. They became the aggressive ones, making US appear as the peacemakers. Excellent strategy, the only one that actually can work.

Ofcourse, bigger picture in Trump mind is that he can free up resources for areas where he can win, a hot war, a trade war or you name it. Hence the shed of excessive fat (temporary) by cancelling the pre-existing cancel-culture and colour revolutions apparatuses (with a dose of "getting even" for spreading lies on him).

Yes, I have been very enlightened by Brian Berletic over the years. He really explains the hard truths and always backs up his statements with concrete evidence.

Masterfully laid out counter-argument to the dominant narrative. Pointing out such basic facts as "having a foreign power fire your general prosecutor is usually not an indicator of being a proper sovereign state" reveals how the entire justification for the NATO proxy war of regime change is built on the flimsiest and embarrassing arguments. US arrogance led it down the path into thinking its ability to implement regime change against a country of 140 million people would be as viable as its regime change operations against countries a third or less the size of the Russian Federation. Some may even have accepted the possibility of defeat simply to spread chaos and instability. The West (liberal centrists in particular) are so intoxicated by their own imperial prowess they can't see how their regime change campaigns will only accelerate their own demise in the long run.

However the Baltic governments and the Scandinavian governments appear to not be getting the memo and they seem to be preparing their nations to be the next to get wrecked .....for no good reason at all.....

The best thing that the world could do is to follow your advice with regard to everything you’ve weighed in on. You’re in sync with John Mearsheimer who’s been exactly correct with everything he’s had to say for decades. The same is true of Alexander Mercouris.

In addition to that, I would say that it’s important to examine the root of all of these problems and take a deeper dive into how we as a species might be able to remedy these problems and survive into the next millennium.

I find that Alexander Mercouris and also Alex Christoforou have become too partisan. They used to be more objective, but since Trump got into office, they have lost that quality.

Thank you, Prof. Diesen.

This has been added as an important reference in an long article I've just published with a title short enough to break through the diplomatic confusion being caused by US President Trump's bombastic rhetoric.

The Europeans - as in actual people - have generally been more focused on humanitarian aid to PEOPLE in Ukraine and have steadily shown over time declining support for mindless pumping weapons into Ukraine instead of negotiating a peace - even a peace that includes accepting that the three majority-speaking regions of Ukraine no longer wish to be part of a nation that was killing them.

https://www.europarl.europa.eu/at-your-service/en/be-heard/eurobarometer/public-opinion-on-the-war-in-ukraine

Curiously, after the support for pumping in weapons showed a clear and insurmoutable gap between the will of the European people and the actions of the EU and national governments.....the European Parliament stopped publishing the polls!

This is why its very wrong to sum up all these at the national or EU level and say "the Europeans". Because the EU governments are corrupt and coopted by the neocon warmongering faction of the US, their actions are NOT representative of the view or will of the European people.

Even more damningly, Ukranains dont want more weapons from the EU - they actually want the EU to help NEGOTIATE an end to the war:

Thanks for your perspective, Glenn, you’re doing a great job.

The best solution to ending this war and for the optimal outcome of peace, liberty, and prosperity (for the world) is for the United States and Russia to normalize relations. I wrote a column about this, looking at the historical context of events leading to the latest war between Russia and Ukraine. Take a look at it if interested, and my apologies in advance for the lack of spacing.

A great talk on the history of the NATO/Ukraine/Russia conflicts. Raises one question though-- did Russia ever lodge anything like a complaint WRT Ukraine's mistreatment of ethnic Russians with any international organizations such as the UN? Did they explore international channels in any way in order to attempt to achieve more consensus in a solution to the problem?

A relatively orderly withdrawal allows the architects of the war to remain hidden, to maintain the Narrative, and to destroy as much of the evidence as possible.

Destroyed.

If ‘Ukraine’ can be found on a map after a lapse of several years, it will be a rump region that will need a century to recover. Perhaps several.
