What’s fascinating is that the US and Russia will be negotiating without Ukraine, and without a ceasefire.

Which means Russia will control the negotiations by controlling the battlefield.

I think this is deliberate on the part of Trump.

It will compel Ukraine to beg for peace.

Using the US as the conduit.

⁣DISARMAMENT IN A TIME OF CHAOS

President Trump says he wants to work with China and Russia on the issue of “slowing down, stopping and reducing nuclear weapons.” Trump went on to declare that “there’s no reason for us to be building brand-new nuclear weapons…We already have so many you can destroy the world 50 times over, 100 times over.” He also said he would urge Russia and China to join him in cutting their respective military budgets by half.

This is the most important statement made by an American president in decades, because from this can come a movement to save the world from the threat of nuclear annihilation. But such a dramatic departure from past practice threatens the Military Industrial Congressional Complex (MICC), that massive monolithic edifice to greed and war which President Dwight D. Eisenhower warned his fellow Americans about in his farewell address delivered in January 1961.

⁣For more than four years I’ve been fighting for the normalization of relations between the US and Russia.

I have been called a stooge of Russia and a shill for Putin.

My patriotism has been challenged by my fellow citizens and I have been treated as a criminal by my government.

All I’ve wanted was peace between our two nations.

And for this “crime” I plead guilty.

And now we have a government with the courage to give peace a chance.

This is the kind of vindication that feels good.

I look forward to this horrible war in Ukraine coming to an end.

I am happy that the Russian people will soon be able to live among the family of nations free of the burden of US sanctions.

And I am thrilled that US and Russian citizens will be able to live their lives without the fear of imminent nuclear Armageddon.

But what pleases me most is that Americans can recapture the status of world peacemaker, and get on a path that allows us to fulfill the potential we have to do good in the world.

And I look forward to my fellow Americans being able to travel to Russia, and play host to Russians traveling to our shores, freed from the poison of Russophobia.

I’ve never been prouder of being American.

Now take us across the finish line, Donald Trump!

⁣You do know that Trump’s outrageous Gaza gambit compelled Arab nations that have never lifted a finger to help Palestine suddenly get engaged to the point that they are putting g forward a counter offer that has Gaza being reconstructed by Arabs for Palestinians with no Israeli involvement or control.

Christ you fuckers are dumber than dirt.

You scream “free Palestine” but are blind when the foundation for a free Palestine is laid at your fucking feet.

You go back to your blind hatred.

I’ll support efforts that seek real change.

⁣Hotel California.

I lived in Turkey at the time. My Father was in the Air Force. The Turks had put all sorts of restrictions on us because of the Cyprus situation. One was that goods normally available in the military exchanges were not allowed in Turkey—including vinyl records.

Someone flew to Germany and brought this album back with them.

I wore it out on my record player.

My parents went insane as I played it over and over again.

This record defined me for a full year, until we moved to Germany and I discovered Bruce Springsteen.

But that’s another story.

IS THE WEST DEAD?
Interview for Consortium News

A phone call between the U.S. and Russian presidents, a remark by Trump to cut military spending by half, an address at NATO HQ by the new U.S. secretary of defense, a provocative speech by the U.S. vice president at the Munich Security Conference, the beginning of U.S.-Russia peace talks without Ukraine or Europe and U.S.-Russian discussions on lifting sanctions this week has left the Western World spinning. Is the Post-War Alliance Doomed? Is the West Dead?
