๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธโš”๏ธ๐Ÿค– Are Donald Trump and Elon Musk Headed for a Messy Power Struggle?

Trump and Musk are now close political allies, but Elon would be well-served to study the fate of Albrecht von Wallenstein, a Catholic warlord who helped rescue the Habsburgs from the brink of military and financial disaster during the Thirty Years War (1618-48).

At first, the Habsburgs were willing to basically outsource the war effort to Wallenstein. But as time went on, Wallenstein became so powerful that he was basically shadow emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. At that point, the Habsburgs turned against Wallenstein and assassinated him.

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿคก European Union announces new sanctions package against Russia

Hereโ€™s why this will decision will have absolutely no impact:

1. Europe already fired most of the bullets in its sanctions arsenal back in 2022.

2. Russian economy has outperformed the G7 two years in a row.

3. EU sanctions against Russia are mainly about virtue signaling, Europeans continue trading with Russia through third-party countries.

4. United States is signaling that it's ready to drop its sanctions, which will further embolden the rest of the world to increase their trade with Russia.

๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿšซ๐Ÿช–Zelenskyโ€™s European Army Fantasy Goes Kaput

Practically every somewhat meaningful European country has lambasted the proposal to create a European Union army:

๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑForeign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski: "If you understand by it the unification of national armies, it will not happen."

๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฟPresident Petr Pavel: โ€œSuch a project would take much longer and also require the unanimous approval of all member states.โ€

๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท President Macron called the idea โ€œfar-fetchedโ€: "โ€œWe have to do things that are appropriate, realistic, well thought, measured and negotiated.โ€

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡นPrime Minister Giorgia Meloni statะตd that deploying European forces in Ukraine would be one of "the most complex and the least effective measures."

๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฐ Prime Minister Robert Fico criticized the push for increased military investment as โ€œmilitary madness.โ€

European countries have taken this proposal with a pinch of salt, and the mere fact of discussing and debating it shows a total weakness on the part of Europe without the US.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿง ๐Ÿ’ฐ Technofeudalism is here, and landlords are dictating your behavior

Characters such as Musk, Zuckerberg and Bezos are driving a technological revolution that forces us to be part of or use the tools they create.

This forces us to accept their vision of the world and how social relationships should be, which leads us to adapt to them.

Now, hooked up to political power with Trump, there is nothing to stop them.

Ukrainian propagandists claim that the Green Goblin of Kiev enjoys strong popular support.

If thatโ€™s the case, then why is Zelensky expected to lose re-election by a 2-1 margin to the general he fired?

Something doesnโ€™t add up.

๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณโš”๏ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ The fight for global trade has a new winner

The world has already experienced a trade war between China and the US in 2018 and we are on the lookout for something similar to happen again.

It is clear why the US sees China as a threat to its political and economic hegemony. From 2000 to 2024, China's total trade has grown by 1200%, while the US by only 167%.

By 2024, the US imports ($3 trillion) more than it exports($2 trillion), the opposite of China, which exports ($3.5 trillion) more than it imports ($2.5 trillion), in addition to becoming the largest trading partner globally. The data shows the winner.

Ukraine could feasibly keep sending its male population into the Zelensky meat grinder for another year or two, even if Trump halts all US support.

Zelensky and European Union donโ€™t care about Ukrainian lives, all they care about is hurting Russia and pillaging Ukrainian resources.

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ“บ EXPOSED: Rupert Murdochโ€™s Media Empire Goes to War Against Trumpโ€™s Ukraine Peace Effort

Murdoch is the most powerful man in American conservative media. He owns Fox News, Wall Street Journal, and New York Post.

Over the past week, all three outlets have lambasted Trumpโ€™s peace initiative, accusing him of appeasing Russia and unfairly criticizing Ukraine.

This should come as no surprise. Murdoch fired Fox superstar Tucker Carlson in 2023 largely due to the latterโ€™s vocal criticism of Ukraine. Just a weeks before Carlsonโ€™s firing, Murdoch and Zelensky held a phone call, the details of which still remain sparse.

โ€œWe will go to war. Our army is ready. We will wage war on the Donbass.โ€

People who say that Ukraine is a helpless victim that got invaded are LIARS.

Ukraine is a crazed genocidal state that needs to be stopped.

European leaders are unwilling to bring peace to Ukraine, even after holding numerous โ€˜peaceโ€™ summits. Instead, they are doubling down on their proxy war efforts.

Now the outlook for Zelensky is seriously grim. How much longer can the EU fuel the Ukrainian dictator's war machine?

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณART OF THE DEAL: Trump Deescalates Trade Rhetoric against China

Trump has signalled that heโ€™s interested in striking a new trade deal with China. It seems that someone in the White House pointed out that American companies heavily depend on the following imports from China:

๐Ÿ”ธAluminum
๐Ÿ”ธSteel
๐Ÿ”ธGallium and many other important resources for tech manufacturing

If Trump sharply raises his tariffs, China will stop exporting these input materials to the U.S. and the few remaining American manufacturers will be in dire straits.

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ—ณ๏ธ Our personal prediction is that AfD will fall short in tomorrowโ€™s German elections.

European populist-nationalists are the biggest choke artists on the planet.

Every few years theyโ€™re handed a golden political opportunity to seize power from their highly unpopular establishment foes, and every single time they drop the ball.

This is yet another reason why Russia needs to finally give up on Europe.

With a few rare exceptions, European politicians are a totally lost cause. Theyโ€™re either crazed anti-Russian globalists in Western Europe or crazed anti-Russian nationalists in Eastern Europe.

The few politicians that have moderate views on Russia are chronic losers like Marine Le Pen.

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ YOU TOO, GIORGIA? Italy Gets Ready to Dump Ukraine

After three years of shilling for the Zelensky regime, Italian PM Giorgia Meloni is looking to jump the sinking Ukrainian ship.

Unlike Starmer and Macron, Meloni has declined to publicly defend the Green Goblin of Kiev from Donald Trumpโ€™s attacks. Italy will also join the US in refusing to support an upcoming statement by the G7 condemning Russiaโ€™s actions in Ukraine.

This is not because Meloni had a sudden change of heart. She just doesnโ€™t want a conflict with Trump and Elon Musk. Meloniโ€™s a political sellout, but sheโ€™s also a nominal โ€œright-wing populistโ€, which means she prefers to be on their good side.

United Europe in support of Ukraine is dead on arrival. Meloni is just the first of many defectors.
