Peace Talks Appear to be Dead There is growing evidence that not only have the peace talks for Ukraine stalled, but NATO has won over Washington to not only continue the war, but to expand it. While Putin has flown off to meet with his two buddies, Xi Jinping and […]
Trump appears to be pushing his luck with Putin, who’s open to compromises, not concessions, let alone significant security ones. If this approach doesn’t change, then a serious escalation is expected. Western security guarantees for Ukraine are one of the main issues delaying a political resolution to the conflict. Russia launched […]
The world press about Putin – Trump meeting The general reaction of the world’s press – is shock at how warm the meeting between Putin and Trump in Anchorage turned out to be. “The meeting was a major diplomatic gamble by Mr. Trump unlike anything his predecessors might have tried […]
U.S. President Donald Trump, in his meeting on August 15th with Russia’s President Vladimir Putin, totally misinterpreted Putin to be welcoming an outcome that Putin has vociferously and repeatedly opposed ever since at least 2007, which is that under no circumstances will Russia ever accept troops from any NATO country being […]

Not Really. The Guarantee Problem May Fail Under Scrutiny President Trump has offered Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky security guarantees which Mr. Trump describes as “like Article V” of the NATO Treaty. Zelensky has apparently signed onto the Trump offer and potentially has agreed that some “territorial swaps” will be needed […]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDZyfKvYjCk It’s amazing: In an exclusive interview by Dmitriy Lascaris, the Australian-American polymath John Helmer, who is the longest-serving and most-respected foreign and independent journalist in Russia (and a former professor of political science, sociology, and journalism), displays supreme reportorial mastery by detailing — which no other journalist has yet done — and […]
Europe Needs to Rethink Support for Zelensky Zelensky’s maximalist position, supported by the UK, France and Germany, is at odds with public opinion in Ukraine.
