12. The US will start sending Criminal Aliens and young hardened criminals over to Ukraine in order to be conscripted into the Ukrainian Army. This will cause the liberals to turn against Ukraine.

Whoever wrote this didn't take into consideration the declas of anti Trump plot, epstein staff, uranium1, etc. Some ukrainian and Russian players were involved. Ffs, read Kash Patel list for the names, some are very familiar. Where do you think epstein got his victims from the beginning. Eastern Europe was in a turmoil then. The pressure is obviously applied in these areas, as declas is slowly moving along the peace negotiations

If we are involved, I hope some smart DOGEs will make sure that OUR money goes to targeted projects and NOT to repay Europe for their loans. We have done more stupid things!

Quite a bit to unpack.

1. Almost sounds like old news, but it is definitely getting Old. Him and that agreement are like Lucy and the football.

2. I don't understand how an American Court can have jurisdiction over a "process" that does not result in a contract or treaty and is international in character.

3. The sticking point is that Zelensky has no authority to sign anything. Whatever happened to elections in Ukraine?

4. My impression from what has already been said in the press is that they had done this from the beginning. It was Biden who blew billions as "grants."

5. Transfer of intelligence data means only the continuation of conflict with Russia. This does not comport with a peace-seeking result.

6. Could be.

7. Could also be.

8. Will? I suspect we are already at the beginning.

9. Yes. Some are doing it already (e.g., Hungary).

10. Again, there is the question of jurisdiction. I'm all for rounding these creeps up, but under whose legitimate authority?

11. Can never come too soon.

This is too much fancy footwork. Meanwhile, the Russians are grinding away, turning the Ukrainian Army into occupants of cemeteries. Zelensky is the turd in the doorway: a worthless poseur / warlord who can only say "No" to peace.

Frankly, if I were Trump, and I didn't care about optics, I would invite Zelensky somewhere (under U.S. jurisdiction) for a chit-chat, then arrest him for war crimes and bundle him off to Russia for Putin to take care of. Then, having washed the floor, and with a Russian ceasefire at hand, instruct the Ukrainians that they can either live or die, but they will not have a victory. The U.S. will have withdrawn all assistance, material or immaterial. If they want to die, the U.S. will happily provide Russia with battlefield intelligence. If they want to live, they can lay down arms, return to their places of origin, and set about electing a new Rada and a new President, who will sign the articles of capitulation (to be imposed unilaterally if they fail to accomplish the elections in the time allotted; no benefit for dragging feet). If they want to rebuild, they can dream up loan proposals with what capital assets they have remaining, as collateral.

I.e., no more screwing around for a phantom Ukrainian "victory." Fuck the EU. Fuck the Deep State. Just a dead stop to the warfare. And, oh by the way, the U.S. gets to do some peacekeeping and ground investigation (with the Russians) over the matters of biowarfare laboratories and the pestholes of human trafficking and children abattoirs. (With all the current exhilaration on secret files finally being opened, it is more than timely for the Ukrainian genocide against the Donbass to be exposed for what it was. I am endlessly irked at this huge matter being glossed over like a tarpaulin over a road crater.)

I don't have the remotest expectation that this will happen, but it is what cries out to me as a rational and definitive "peace process."

Sounds very plausible. Then in about a year, the Ukraine can start to recover.

I don't buy it, but I'm biased and not connected in any way to the power brokers.

The angle for us is going to go through DOGE audits of the Ukraine money. It's going to be quiet because a lot of it was re-directed to the MIC to buy replacement weapons for the old junk we cleaned out and sent to Ukraine. We won't hear about future procurement because my suspicion is that a lot of that stuff is not yet official knowledge yet.

To the extent we do hear about things, it'll be things that can clearly be traced directly to private accounts of high ranking officials. They'll get a quiet offer to comply, or there'll be a "leak" to the press. Expect to see a LOT of generals on the Ukraine side suddenly get rotated out by Zelensky for loss of confidence or some other such BS. None of the reasons will matter, just that they're gone. The goal is going to be to get to all of the decision-makers with any real military experience who can execute Zelensky's bat guano crazy orders. Put another way, it's a quiet way to use their own corruption to dismantle Zelensky's ability to fight.

Zelensky has made it clear he's gone rogue. He's outside of US control. He thinks he can get Europe to let him keep this war going so he can stay in power. So, Trump now has to go around Zelensky. Sideline him and talk to the Russians, but understand that the Russians are the hammer and the anvil here, the rock and the hard place. They're not going to negotiate with Zelensky. They might negotiate with us and the Europeans because we still have some power, but they're getting their buffer zone one way or another. They're never going to allow the EU to creep on their turf.

It's funny to me that Japan and Korea have been more cooperative and forthcoming allies than Europe for a decade+ now. We should have abandoned the eurocucks years ago for being an anchor. They talk shit about all their socialized programs and time off, meanwhile the only reason they can afford it is because they offload defense on us and make laws limiting the cost of medical treatments which then inflates our costs.
