🚨🇺🇦🇷🇺 U.S. GENERAL AND COLONEL DEBATE THE UKRAINE WAR Is Russia winning this war or is Putin bleeding out behind the propaganda? U.S. General Ben Hodges and Colonel Daniel Davis go head-to-head on the battlefield, the politics, and the future of the entire region. Nothing was off limits. They clashed on: * Whether Russia’s goal is territory or the total destruction of Ukraine’s military * Why Pokrovsk is close to falling and what that really means for the front * If Russia has air supremacy, the manpower advantage, and the industrial base to grind Ukraine down * Why Ukrainian brigades are collapsing from manpower shortages while Russia stockpiles weapons for a much bigger fight * Whether NATO is already in a “low-level war” with Moscow * How sanctions on Rosneft and Lukoil are hitting Russia’s coffers * Whether Ukraine can turn the war around with Tomahawks, Taurus missiles, and a rebuilt army * And the one question no one wants to answer: Is a negotiated “ugly deal” the only thing standing between Ukraine and total collapse? Ben Hodges says Russia is cracking, running out of money, and terrified of Ukrainian deep strikes. Daniel Davis fires back that Russia is holding its army in reserve and could take the Dnieper if the West keeps dragging this out. Two veterans. Two opposite realities. One war that’s reaching a point of no return. If you want to understand where this conflict is actually heading next, this is the debate you can’t afford to miss. 00:01:35 - Russia's real goal isn't territory - it's the total destruction of Ukraine's military 00:04:13 - Pokrovsk "about to fall" for over a year while Black Sea Fleet sits neutralized 00:07:12 - Russia has air supremacy and is really fighting 50 nations, not just Ukraine 00:10:44 - The West hasn't drained its coffers - it's drained its political will 00:12:13 - What Ukraine needs to win: hundreds of Tomahawks hitting Russian oil infrastructure 00:13:39 - Ukrainian families won't send their kids to die in a broken military system 00:15:33 - Russia is holding hundreds of thousands of troops in reserve for the real fight 00:19:24 - Massive Russian weapons stockpiles point to a much bigger war with NATO ahead 00:21:33 - Europe is 13 times stronger than Russia but too divided to use it - NATO and Russia already at war in the shadows 00:26:55 - NATO supports killing Russians on the battlefield, then acts shocked when Russia hits back 00:27:15 - Russia's slow grind is strategy, not weakness - preserving troops for what comes next 00:32:20 - Sanctions on Rosneft and Lukoil finally hitting Moscow where it hurts 00:37:10 - The choice: ugly deal now or total Ukrainian collapse within a year 00:43:56 - Baltic states fled to NATO because they know what life under the Kremlin means 00:46:23 - The 2014 coup and how Western meddling in Ukraine set the spiral to war in motion 00:53:18 - Russia's security demands prove they're planning another invasion 00:56:47 - Make Ukraine like Finland - armed to the teeth so no one ever invades again 00:58:07 - Ukraine's fate in one year: sudden collapse or slow death fighting to the end

🌍 THE WAR PUTIN IS USING TO BREAK EUROPE A leaked peace plan is circulating, but according to Serhii Plokhy, the truth is far more dangerous. He says Putin is not looking for peace. He is buying time, playing history, and pushing a slow, grinding war designed to break Ukraine and split the West. And the stakes are rising on every front. We get into: •⁠ ⁠Why Putin sees the war as an imperial restoration, not a negotiation •⁠ ⁠⁠Why slow Russian advances with massive losses still serve his strategy •⁠ ⁠⁠How sanctions strike hard but need time and discipline to cripple the Kremlin •⁠ ⁠⁠Why cracks inside the Western alliance are now Putin’s biggest weapon •⁠ ⁠⁠How Russia keeps its war machine running even as its economy strains •⁠ ⁠⁠Why Ukraine’s shift toward Europe triggered the conflict long before NATO mattered •⁠ ⁠⁠Why Russian drones, cyber attacks and provocations are pressure tests on NATO’s red lines •⁠ ⁠⁠How close the world actually came to nuclear escalation in 2022 •⁠ ⁠⁠And why the fate of this war will shape Europe’s borders for a generation His warning is blunt. Russia is not negotiating. Russia is maneuvering. And the window to contain this war is shrinking fast. If Ukraine collapses, he says Europe will face a far more aggressive Russia backed by a rising China. If Ukraine holds, the entire balance of power in the West will shift. This is one of the most consequential wars since 1945. And the next decisions will echo for decades. 01:49 – Initial reaction to the peace plan: back to square one 02:38 – Historian draws parallels to Korea and Vietnam peace talks 04:23 – Russia has incentives to keep fighting, not negotiate 04:55 – Russia using $30k bonuses to recruit new troops 06:28 – Cracks in the Western alliance while Russia holds economically 07:25 – Are new Lukoil and Rosneft sanctions strong enough 08:38 – Sanctions need time and pressure; only crisis shifts Putin 12:30 – Putin driven by legacy and restoring a Russian empire 14:24 – Multipolar vision requires Ukraine’s resources 16:24 – Real trigger was Ukraine’s 2014 EU Association Agreement 18:28 – Is bombing Ukraine counterproductive to bringing it closer 19:45 – Russia turned Chechnya from rebellion to loyal ally 21:29 – If Ukraine falls, its fighters could become Russian shock troops 24:34 – Putin genuinely believes his historical narrative 26:59 – NATO expansion a concern but not the core trigger 27:31 – West repeatedly said Ukraine had no future in NATO 30:22 – Russia provoking NATO because it knows NATO won’t respond 32:49 – Aid provision is a normal international practice 38:33 – 2008 Bucharest Summit was the real turning point 40:32 – NATO used as an excuse for deeper strategic motives 41:18 – Comparison to Cuba Missile Crisis: missiles near borders 43:13 – West refuses permanent troops in new NATO states 53:12 – NATO won’t be ready to confront Russia until 2029 57:04 – War ends with a sharper, more defiant line 58:31 – War created a stronger Ukrainian national identity 01:03:05 – Putin’s legacy now mixed with declining influence

🚨🇺🇦 ON THE GROUND UKRAINE - PART 2: TRUMP, PUTIN & THE PRICE OF PEACE Here’s my interviews from my latest trip to Ukraine, chatting to those fighting this war and suffering the consequences In the meantime, whispers grow louder on the eve of the Alaska Summit: a Trump–Putin deal, sealed without Zelensky, trading land for “peace.” Crimea. Donbas. Rich veins of neon, lithium, and chip-making power - the stakes stretch far beyond borders. Some say land swap is the only path forward. Others call it surrender. If the deal is struck, it won’t just redraw maps - it could decide the fate of democracy, resources, and the global order. 🇺🇸 ERIC BOLLING 🇺🇸 joins me for Part 2 of On The Ground in Ukraine with unflinching testimony from Мустафа Джемілєв, Sergiy Stakhovsky, The Gandalf & Deborah Fairlamb - voices fighting for territory, truth, and the soul of their country. What is the cost of survival? What is the price of peace? This is On The Ground: Ukraine. 01:09 – Could Trump actually end the war? And at what cost? 02:26 – Putin’s red lines, NATO’s bluff, and the nuclear blackmail question. 04:41 – Trump’s “carrot and stick” diplomacy vs. Biden’s delay. 06:13 – Can Ukraine trust any peace deal signed with Russia? 07:19 – Trump: peace in 24 hours.

The hard truth. 19:52 – Destroying Russia’s economy as a path to peace. 20:27 – A peace deal without Ukraine isn’t peace. It’s surrender. 29:39 – Why Putin can’t afford to “lose” – and why Trump might force his hand. 31:02 – Is Ukraine just a proxy?

🇺🇸🇷🇺 “UKRAINE’S WAR CAN ONLY END IF PUTIN OR KYIV FALL” 2 radically different visions of the Ukraine war. 2 starkly opposed truths. In a fiery debate, Jonathan Fink (Jonathan Fink 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 Silicon Curtain Podcast) and Mark Sleboda (Mark Sleboda) lay out why a peace deal may never come, and why neither side is ready to stop fighting. Jonathan argues Putin doesn’t want territory, he wants a failed Ukraine. A democratic Ukraine, he says, is a threat to Putin’s regime, because it offers Russians an alternative: “They tried democracy… and it worked.” Mark fires back: the U.S. provoked this war and is now trying to force “peace on American terms.” He insists Russia is winning, not just against Kyiv, but against the entire West: “They’ve run out of ammo. We haven’t.” We get into: •⁠ ⁠Whether Russia wants all of Ukraine, or just to neutralize it. •⁠ ⁠Why the West keeps pushing ceasefires Russia rejects. •⁠ ⁠NATO expansion, proxy war narratives, and regime survival. •⁠ ⁠Why both Trump and Biden failed to deter escalation. •⁠ ⁠The fight over Ukraine’s media, and who funds what. •⁠ ⁠Is it about democracy vs. autocracy, or something deeper? •⁠ ⁠Why both say nuclear escalation is a real risk. •⁠ ⁠Whether U.S. “support” is really just managed decline. Mark: “Russia is outproducing the entire West in artillery.” Jonathan: “If Russia is winning, why are they still 45km from Severodonetsk?” A blistering clash, not just of ideas, but of worldviews. 05:05 - “Russia is winning not just against Kyiv, but against all of NATO” 06:38 - Trump’s peace plan excludes Russia, a “pointless circle jerk” 10:08 - U.S. NGO funding criticized as “poking the bear.” Did it provoke war? 11:45 - RT vs. U.S. media: both foreign-backed, but only one is banned 13:23 - Trump halted aid, threatened Ukraine, but wanted to “look good” with peace 14:59 - Trump seeks Nobel Peace Prize, but won’t risk confrontation with Russia 19:41 - Russia won't stop until Ukraine regime changes, maybe not even then 21:17 - Why Ukraine won't cede territory it fortified, deterrence matters 24:26 - Europe rearming slowly, but Kremlin-aligned populists may derail it 26:01 - Russia uses nuclear fear to deter deeper U.S. involvement 30:52 - Mark: Only China wins from U.S. exhaustion in Ukraine, Venezuela, and Iran 32:12 - Russia’s democracy “just as valid” as the U.S. 36:05 - Russian citizens afraid to speak near cameras, fear still shapes daily life 41:13 - Why won’t Putin accept freezing the frontlines? “They’re winning.” 45:08 - Russian ambassador: “We don’t want peace, we want surrender.”

Russian propagandist Simonyan talks about the great sacred war that is not being fought against Ukraine. Take a listen. Putin and his inner circle have stopped talking about peace and negotiations and are raising the stakes. They speak of a "great and sacred war" against Europe and NATO. Why is this happening? It is a consequence of Russia’s failures on the Ukrainian front, where Russians are not advancing and are losing more and more soldiers - over 35,000 every month, more than they recruit - while Ukrainians are expanding the kill zone. It is the growing economic problems and the realization that Russia is heading toward collapse. It is the realization that everyone involved in the war will be punished after it ends, which means they cannot allow the war to end. Putin’s inner circle is aware of this dead-end situation. But Putin himself does not know the real picture, because people are afraid to tell him the truth. Therefore, Putin is convinced that he is winning the war. In addition, he sees that the United States is currently focused on the war in Iran and is no longer reacting to massive attacks on Ukraine and hybrid attacks in Europe. By the way, it is quite possible that the latest attack on Kyiv was organized personally for Putin - to give him the satisfaction of seeing Kyiv burning, especially after the humiliating May 9 parade in Moscow - but in reality, this attack achieved no military objectives and was a waste of millions. In this situation, with no real military successes in Ukraine, Putin’s inner circle, out of fear, may develop a desire to continue the war in a new direction - for example against the Baltic states - so that Putin stops asking about Donbas and Mala Tokmachka. The greater the defeat, the higher the stakes.

Ever. 🚨 The War Waged by NEOCONS Via Ukraine Was Designed to Bring Down Russia The Ukraine - Russian War Was Provoked! If you still believe that Russia started this conflict in 2022, then you are either corrupt, ignorant, or brainwashed. NATO DISBAND !!! Putin says the current crisis in Ukraine is a direct result of years of aggressive NATO policies. ▶NATO has been encircling Russia since the nineties. ▶NATO exists to solve the problems created by NATO’s existence. ▶ NATO has never defended anyone, but only attacked. ▶NATO is a military Alliance that feeds on war. ▶To justify its existence, NATO constantly needs an external enemies and conflicts. ▶The purpose of the NATO alliance is "to keep the Russians out, the Americans in, and the Germans down. ▶Prof. Jeffrey Sachs: The Casus Belli of the Ukraine War is NATO Enlargement, US Coup, CIA Operations All Over Ukraine. ▶Jeffrey Sachs on Trump: Until President Trump Says Publicly, "NATO Will NOT Enlarge," This War Will Continue. That's his JOB. The way to end this war is to say publicly, "NATO enlargement was a mistake, it was a provocation, it was a threat to Russia's security." ▶Jeffrey Sachs: Russia is not going to stop fighting as long as NATO enlargement is on the table. This is the basic reason why we are at war. ▶Prof. John Mearsheimer: NATO Expansion Was Really the Key. Ukraine was becoming a de facto member of NATO. ▶Larry C. Johnson A Former CIA Officer: 30 Years of Provocation by the West, 30 Years of Western Efforts to Bring Ukraine INTO NATO, 30 Years of Using, Making, Ukraine a de FACTO Member of NATO by Virtue of the FACT That, They've Conducted More NATO Military Exercises in Ukraine, Than 24 Other NATO Countries Over the Last 30 years, so That's Remarkable for a Country That's NOT 🚨Not dissolving NATO in 1990 was a big mistake, and it’s time to fix that mistake. Emmanuel Todd: “The war in Ukraine is perceived in the West as a Russian invasion of Ukraine, and of course, I admit that it was the Russian army that entered Ukraine. But the historical reality is that the true cause of the conflict is NATO's expansion into Russia, through Ukraine, and the war waged by the Ukrainians themselves, pushed by the West, against the Russians in Donbas. It is absolutely true that, for the Russians, this war is defensive. For me, it is obvious that the Americans and Europeans are the aggressors, since they have come within a thousand kilometers of Moscow. This is the objective situation. What is fascinating is that these aggressors think they are the ones being attacked and that they are forced to defend themselves. There is an element of madness in our situation in Europe.”

Ignorance, the root and stem of all evil

🚨TRUMP🇺🇸-PUTIN🇷🇺 PHONE CALL: IS THE END OF THE UKRAINE🇺🇦 PROXY WAR IN SIGHT? Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin both say their phone call to pursue an end to the Ukraine proxy war went well. Russia has agreed to work with Ukraine to reach a memorandum for a future peace deal. But thorns remain; mainly from the UK and Europe. Seemingly stuck in the days of the Biden Administration, the multipolar world’s Island of Irrelevancy continues to push for increased hostility with Russia, and a continuation of the proxy war to the last Ukrainian, regardless of their hollow ‘peace’ rhetoric, despite the fact that it’s Europe’s economies and their people that are paying the heaviest price. The Coalition of the Useless rally around Zelensky, egging him on as his negotiating position gets weaker and weaker, as Russia gains more and more territory. Every day that passes without a deal will result in a deal more painful for Kiev. While Zelensky seems somewhat serious about direct face-to-face negotiations with Putin, perhaps with Trump present, his continued childish remarks while negotiating with Russia risk crashing diplomatic efforts completely. There doesn’t seem to be a discernible diplomatic reason for this other than to please Starmer, Macron, Merz and the rest of the Coalition of the Useless, patting themselves on the back for continued bellicose rhetoric against Russia that no one cares for, and endless sanctions packages that do next to nothing. Their performance of pretending to be relevant continues. The Ukraine proxy war was always going to end in a negotiation between Moscow and Washington, since it is ultimately a war between them. Europe, and the rest of NATO are completely irrelevant and will have to bow to Washington’s orders. The danger for Zelensky? A Trump administration tired of a failed endless war that has resulted in the humiliation of the so-called ‘Western alliance’. Trump has other urgent priorities, both at home and abroad, and is simply bored of a never-ending war on Russia’s border that at any moment could spiral into a nuclear escalation. If vassal leader Zelensky doesn’t agree to a peace deal rapidly, and the US walks away from efforts to negotiate with Russia, a complete and convincing Russian victory will be imminent. No matter how much the Coalition of the Useless claims it will do whatever it takes to support Ukraine, they have emptied out their arsenals to support Ukraine, and have nothing left to give. Europe’s military-industrial complex could not hope to replace all of the aid given by the US. Zelensky faces a situation similar to what South Vietnam’s regime faced in its dying days; the US is once again bored of a failed proxy war. Zelensky could find out soon just how brutally the US can discard a proxy once its usefulness runs out. As for Russia, the only threat remains another trick of deceit pulled by one member, or multiple members of NATO to upend negotiations. The memories of humiliation and failure of Minsk 1 and Minsk 2 remain in the Kremlin’s thinking. Unless there is a concrete guarantee that Ukraine will never join NATO, a declaration of neutrality, and Ukraine cedes territory, the war will not end. As for any ‘leverage’ the US may use on Russia if it walks away, the sanctions and pressure will be pointless, Russia has turned itself into an economic fortress through years of planning. You can’t isolate the world’s largest country, and any attempt to do so will only deepen the Russia-China alliance. The clock ticks for Zelensky, time is running out. It’s time for him to take a realist perspective, though the Coalition of the Useless may still succeed in selling him delusions such as European troops in Ukraine, future NATO membership, and other nonsense which Russia would never accept.
