Some thoughts regarding the Ukrainian drone attack that targeted President Putin.
The attack meets two of the criterion set forth in the “Fundamentals of State Policy of the Russian Federation on Nuclear Deterrence”, published on December 3, 2024, regarding acts of aggression designed to be deterred by Russia’s nuclear deterrence forces.
This includes “Aggression by any state from a military coalition (bloc, alliance) against the Russian Federation and (or) its allies is considered as the aggression by this coalition (bloc, alliance) as a whole”, and “Aggression against the Russian Federation and (or) its allies by any non-nuclear state with the participation or support of a nuclear state is considered as their joint attack.”
Ukraine operates as part of a NATO bloc whose stated objective is the strategic defeat of Russia. Ukraine’s targeting of the Russian President constitutes “actions by an adversary affecting elements of critically important state or military infrastructure of the Russian Federation, the disablement of which would disrupt response actions by nuclear forces.”
Had the Ukrainian attack succeeded, Russia would have carried out massive nuclear retaliation against all of Europe.
I don’t think the world understands how close it came to nuclear Armageddon.
Russia has no choice but to re-establish deterrence modalities by physically destroying Ukraine as it currently exists.
The current Ukrainian government cannot be viewed as a negotiating partner, but rather as a terrorist entity that must be eliminated in its totality.
I believe the Trump administration understands this.
Europe does not.
The examination of the drone debris by Russian special services will provide specific technical data pertaining to the targeting data used by Ukraine, which in turn will point to specific sources and methods used to collect and prepare this data for use by Ukraine.
In short, there can be no doubt Russia possesses incontrovertible intelligence information that establishes a European connection to the Ukrainian attack on President Putin.
Europe must be put on notice that it is culpable in the actions of the Zelensky regime, and that any effort or actions that facilitate continued Ukrainian strikes against the critical national security infrastructure of the Russian Federation (the Russian President, as the sole authority for release of Russian nuclear weapons, fits this definition) will be treated as a hostile act by Europe capable of triggering a Russian nuclear response.
In the coming days and weeks, one can expect to see Russian actions designed to target and eliminate the totality of the Zelensky regime.
Anything less than this would make moot the purpose of a Russian nuclear doctrine in the first place, and Russia under President Putin does not have a history of engaging in meaningless word games at the strategic level.
2026 will be the last year Ukraine in its current manifestation exists.
The question now is whether the same can be said about Europe.

Reflections on the New Year - and Jacques Baud
2025 was a year that flew by faster than almost any other before it. A lot has changed—unfortunately for the worse.

Happy New Year!
These two images date back to December 1988, the first New Year’s celebration that saw US inspectors living and working in Votkinsk, implementing the INF treaty.
This particular celebration was instrumental to my personal evolution as a human being, helping me transform from someone who viewed the Soviet Union and its Russian population as an enemy, to someone who understood that these same people posed no inherent threat to America, and that our joint future would be better served pursuing peace over conflict.
This experience is an aspect of “mental warfare”, where the tools used to shape thoughts and values are used for constructive purposes.
Here we are, some 37 years later, still struggling to overcome the burden of the Cold War.
But the fact that we are still here, and still struggling to fulfill the noble concept of peace on earth and goodwill toward mankind, is in itself a victory of perseverance in the face of adversity.
Happy New Year to my fellow Americans and all the people of Russia.
Victory (peace) will be ours!

Christ on a crutch.
The CIA says an attack took place.
They just obsfuscate by saying it was against military target near Putin’s residence.
The Russians have the radar tracks.
And the targeting data from the debris.
Moreover, it’s the CIA that is behind these attacks.
They have to deny.

Trump the Robber Baron
The US is not only morally, but also financially bankrupt—the real reason for Maduro's kidnapping is to refinance the American public finances.

If the President of a sovereign nation opts to have as his final circle of defense a team of foreign soldiers, that sends a clear signal that he does not trust his own people with his security.
Before asking yourself how 32 Cuban soldiers were killed protecting Maduro, ask yourself why they were there to begin with.
And now you have some insight as to why Maduro is no longer in Caracas, but rather sitting in a New York City prison cell.

Europe threatening the US over the coming annexation of Greenland is best display of European impotence possible.
It will put a fake entity (the EU) against a superpower that is consolidating its hold over the Western Hemisphere.
The key to this is the decoupling of the US from the trap of Trans-Atlanticism.
This means the US is ready to cut ties with NATO.
The EU and NATO cannot survive without the US to back them up.
So when the EU and NATO seek to hold the US to account over Greenland, the US will simply pull the plug on its European involvement, and instead seek out a series of bilateral relations with those Europeans not willing to sacrifice their wellbeing for a Danish colony.
This is exactly what the Trump administration wants.

THE SANCTIONS SHIELD
Keeping sanction in place may be Russia's best chance at survival.
Forces within the US and Russia today openly advocate for the lifting of economic sanctions targeting Russia. But these sanctions are not designed to be lifted for the benefit of Russia, but to exist as a tool designed to bring about the collapse of Russia. The hope of improved economic relations brought on by the end of sanctions is used as a means of leveraging greed and corruption inside Russia in order to bring down the government of President Vladimir Putin. Russia’s best option is to stop advocating for the lifting of sanctions and instead use the existing sanctions as a shield to protect Russia from the inherently corrupting influence of western economies.

THE BATTLE OF NEW YORK
"What country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance?" Thomas Jefferson asked. Today we search for an answer.
While the world struggles to come to grips with the brazen abduction of the sitting head of a sovereign nation by the armed forces of the United States, operating with zero legitimacy either in terms of international law or domestic legal authority, the American people struggle with their own shortcomings as citizens and—frankly speaking—members of the human race, cheering on this wonton act of aggression as if it defines who and what we are as a collective, not comprehending that our cheers are really the screams of a dying dream of a Constitutional Republic once known as the United States of America.

THE MONROE DOCTRINE, REIMAGINED BY TRUMP
The US capture and transfer to New York of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has sent shockwaves throughout the world as international leaders are compelled to consider the real-world application of the geopolitical theory outlined by the White House in its November 2025 National Security Strategy (NSS) document. The world must now wake up to the reality of what President Donald Trump is calling the “Trump Corollary” to the Monroe Doctrine and all this entails — US domination of the Western Hemisphere, to the exclusion of all nonhemispheric competitors and any regional actors who do not toe the line when it comes to the dictate of US dominance set forth by the White House.
