    Trump Cannot Take It.
    It has to be noted that ALL the highly qualified and experienced regular contributors on Judge Napolitano's channel, Daniel Davis' channel, and Nima Alkhorshid's excellent 'Dialogue Works' channel, have grown united in their criticism of Trump. Only Alexander Mercouris, among the 20+ expert non-mainstream analysts of the conflict, is more cautious in his judgment.

    Trump is under tremendous pressure from all sides, and as I stated in another post yesterday, whatever his admirable strengths in wanting to solve America's many serious domestic problems, he's NOT a very experienced international diplomat or statesman. (And some might accuse me of being a little too kind in my words. )

    umm...he never said he was a statesman..he's a deal maker
    which he has successfully done in spades
    the other countries, Canada included, be damned
    it's not his purview

    IMO only
    the experts are inexperienced in his unique style and will never understand his motivations
    and the usual experts have done a horrible job of helping us cope with the topsy-turvy world of the past ten years


    By finding the true experts, the insiders, the crazy has been far easier to manage.


    You need to find the men of action, not those who merely react. Men of action can address what's coming ahead of time. Those who merely react are always behind the curve.

    men of action shape the future

    those who react merely wait till it happens
    then deploy hindsight and helplessly fume


    If things stay as they are, given enough time everyone will hate Trump by default.
    Trump Derangement Syndrome, like the mainstream narrative, relies on the buried truth remaining buried.
    That's why things cannot stay as they are - the truth must come out.
    It is an extremely uncomfortable truth no country or authority can afford.
    This is the true war, all else is a distraction: existential because it even affects our souls, mundane because it affects every moment of our lives.

    The Truth will set us free.

    "Regarding Trump's words about Putin ‘playing with fire’ and ‘really bad things’ happening to Russia. I only know of one REALLY BAD thing — WWIII. I hope Trump understands this!" the Russian official said on X.

    My bet is this is about a pre arranged tactical 'psyop' between Trump's and Putin's teams against the other side.

    Here's a view of the state of things from 'Juan O Savin'. Make of it what you will. I think some of it is very insightful (or maybe insiderfull). The ball few people have their eyes on is global. The entire machinery of the globalist's world power grab has to be dismantled or there is no win and we all lose, forever. Juan draws attention to Trump's very recent tug on the chain of the oil company buying Venezuelan oil, and explains the significance of it in the right big-picture context.

    The first 40 minutes of this is about the Russia Ukraine situation. Not a 40 thousand foot view, more like a view from orbit. Nino is as short sighted and meaning bending as ever but Juan keeps going with patience.


    Quote Posted by norman (here)
    JUAN O SAVIN - Putin and Ukraine: Point of Departure? - NINO 5 26 2025


    Quote Nino and Juan discuss the new developments in the Ukraine War and the latest moves and counter moves by Vladimir Putin. This is made more complex than it really is by the sensational output of the MSM. The article Nino sites is very much the product of insane sensational scripts not measured reporting. Here is the report from KIEV and the actual situation which Juan tries to explain. https://kyivindependent.com/putin-cl...ainian-border/
    Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed on May 22 that he ordered the military to begin creating a "security buffer zone" along the border with Ukraine, Russian state media outlets reported.
    The comments come a day after Putin made his first known visit to Russia's Kursk Oblast, a border region where Ukrainian forces launched an incursion last summer. While the Kremlin claims to have fully liberated the territory, Ukraine says operations are ongoing in Kursk.
    "I have already said that a decision has been made to create the necessary security buffer zone along the border," Putin said in a video conference with government officials.
    "Our armed forces are currently solving this problem."

    Juan also brings out the current Tina Peters situation that I posted on his X channel. From Patrick Byrne and his commentary https://x.com/PatrickByrne/status/1927018599190819325
    Tina needs to be released from prison. A new development in her case raises the bar toward that goal. https://x.com/JuanOSavin107/status/1927201264078594428

    I suspect that Juan chooses Nino to be one of his interviewers for much that reason. Nino reliably, clearly and boldly represents some views held by many. Those very people may hear Nino push a view, straight out, that they agree with ... and then actually listen for a bit to hear what Juan says in response.

    Such back and forth in a discussion makes for a more engaging presentation.

    Just part of expanding the base of people who can begin to make sense of what is happening and needs a solid base of support to continue expanding.

    There are powerful elements in the West who are relentlessly trying to start all-out global war; and they keep nearly succeeding. IMO it is *only* the restraining influence of VP that has - so far - prevented WWIII.

    Which is the exact reason why Western elements keep trying to assassinate VP. If they succeeded then, well... things would get worse, the war would spread multi-nationally and aiming at maximum destruction, very quickly indeed.

    The world has been walking a knife edge for the past three years.

    I think we need to keep in mind the scale and depth of evil that is at work here. Such that (for the warmonger faction of the West) while weakening/ destruction of Rus is hoped-for, the main achievable aim is the economic and political weakening/ destruction of the Western "European" nations such as UK, France, Germany.

    This economic political destruction has already been effectively achieved by the "sanctions"; as well as the elimination of Ukr. as a viable nation.

    And we should not forget that for the extremely-evil geopolitical strategists of the West; the continuing/ accelerating mass slaughter of Ukrainians has been something They regard as a positive and much desired outcome - which is why they have done all possible to ensure the slaughter continue and grows.

    As the US pivots to start wars elsewhere; the intent in that UK, France, Germany etc will take-over and continue the lethal work of war. Certainly that is what our national leaders are continually plotting (in full public view, yet almost completely ignored by most people). I assume that there is strong resistance from the leadership classes of UK and Western Europe to the idea of a self-annihilating war with Russia, and so far this has prevailed.

    But sooner or later, if anti-Russian provocations continue as until now, Russia will "snap" and retaliate; and then the evil geopolitical manipulators will get what they want - mega-destruction.

    NOTE ADDED: By mega-destruction I don't just mean the acute damage of massive weapons exchange (the short-term physical destruction of which I suspect would be less than many people assume); but the much more long-term and unavoidable destructive consequences of the collapse of much of world civilization - with starvation, disease, and local violence all over the place.

    IF, Russia snapped and if Russia is not being pushed around a chess board by invisible globalist plotters, their nuclear 'snap' would be wasted on turning Kiev to glass. Kiev is nothing without it's backers.

    Geneva, Monaco, Vatican, London would be among the first targets on any realistic nuclear final option strategists' list.

    Maybe a needed sobering comment, so for what it's worth: If Russia 'snaps' and nuclear bombs the West then there will be no Russia anymore either due to NATO nuclear retaliation. So I guess they won't in any case.

    Europeans once again rallying under Nazi flag against Russia - Lavrov

    Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has accused some European leaders of reviving Nazi-era ambitions by supporting efforts to inflict a strategic defeat on Moscow.

    Lavrov was responding on Tuesday to remarks by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, who the previous day declared there were "no more range limitations" for weapons sent to Ukraine by the West, including Germany. Merz has also vowed to turn the German military into Europe's strongest conventional force.

    "Europe has once again found itself a Nazi flag by committing to a completely misguided, disastrous venture of inflicting a strategic defeat on Russia," Lavrov stated.

    "To hear from the current German leader that Germany will regain its position as the leading military power in Europe, just after we have celebrated the 80th anniversary of the defeat of Hitler's Nazism, is quite symptomatic. History, apparently, taught these people nothing."

    Russian military expansion as the only guarantee of peace

    For Moscow, the only way to protect its people is by advancing on the battlefield.

    The illusion of a fully diplomatic understanding between Moscow and Kiev does not withstand the harsh reality of the battlefield.

    Despite signals of renewed dialogue, the Russian government understands that any peace agreement with the Ukrainian regime, if not based on new territorial configuration, will amount, at best, to a temporary ceasefire.

    The reason is simple: Kiev does not act as a sovereign entity but as a military protectorate of the West. And as such, it will not seek a just peace, but rather a disguised rearmament. In light of this, Russia is already preparing the only effective response: the liberation of new regions and the expansion of the security zone as far as necessary.

    President Vladimir Putin's recent statements are clear. By affirming that a "security buffer zone" will be established along the border, Putin announced more than a tactical measure — he announced a new phase of the special military operation.

    This zone will not be the result of fragile negotiations, but of military conquest. And it will expand not only to protect oblasts like Belgorod, Bryansk, and Kursk, but to ensure, once and for all, that no threat can ever arise again at Russia's borders.

    This decision stems from the realization that the current Ukrainian government will never uphold any real security guarantees. Since the beginning of the conflict, Russia has sought to restore peace, demanding only neutrality, respect for the New Regions integrated into the Federation, and an end to the aggression against the civilian population of Donbass.

    In response, Kiev intensified drone attacks, sabotage, and incursions against Russian civilians — actions typical of a terrorist state manipulated by foreign powers.

    Given this, the move toward the Kharkov, Sumy, and Chernigov regions is not only legitimate but necessary. Russia can no longer tolerate the presence of hostile forces so close to its territory.

    What is unfolding is the formation of a new front line — deeper, safer, and strategically advantageous. The incursions into these regions have already begun, but what was once defensive and limited will now become offensive and continuous. The liberation of these areas will not be symbolic — it will be total.

    If Kiev insists on its role as a vassal of the West, new fronts of liberation may open.

    Dnepropetrovsk, Nikolaev, and even Odessa are on Russia's strategic horizon. These regions, in addition to being historically Russian, are currently used as bases for terrorist attacks — whether against Donbass or civilian vessels in the Black Sea. The security of the New Regions, Crimea, and the Black Sea requires that these centers of hostility be neutralized or reintegrated.

    IIt is time to abandon diplomatic euphemisms and face the facts: Ukraine, as it exists today, is an unsustainable fiction. Artificially created from Soviet borders, it only survives as a political entity because it serves NATO's interests. But times have changed. The era of the unipolar world is ending, and with it will fall the puppet regimes propped up by foreign weapons.

    Russia's historic mission in this conflict is clear: to ensure that its people never again live under threat, that Russian cities are never again bombed with impunity, and that no neighboring government ever again becomes a base of operations for geopolitical enemies. If that requires taking Kharkov, Odessa, Kiev, or the Carpathians — so be it.

    Putin has already stated that he will not accept an unsafe peace deal. Peace must be based on strategic security and recognition of the new territorial reality. If Kiev refuses to accept this truth, Moscow will have no choice but to advance. And the people of the regions still under Ukrainian control will have to choose: continue under a regime that sends them to die in senseless battles, or reintegrate into the historical Motherland that will welcome them with dignity, security, and development.

    Ukraine is heading toward territorial dismantlement. This is inevitable. It is up to Kiev to decide whether this process will be negotiated or imposed. But for Russia, the path is already set: to protect its people and win this war — on all fronts, across all maps.

    Russian Aerospace Forces Prepare Asymmetric Response to NATO Air Forces



    The US military continues to worry about Russia's long-range R-37M air-to-air missile with a "nuclear filling." The US Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) is now carefully is studying, why did Russia need such a powerful munition?

    It should be noted that the Americans are closely studying the danger of the R-37M with a special warhead. Now one fighter of the Russian Aerospace Forces (can be equipped with four R-37M units at once) will be able to destroy entire squadrons of aircraft, dozens of cruise missiles or large concentrations of enemy UAVs in the sky.

    It should be noted that before the collapse of the USSR, the R-37 missile was developed on the basis of the R-33 to equip the MiG-31M interceptor fighter. In 1997, the Russian Federation decided to abandon Ukrainian components and make the munition completely domestic. In 2004, the R-37M was accepted into service, its export version was shown at the MAKS-2011 air show. Conventional R-37M missiles are now used not only for the MiG-31BM supersonic interceptors, but also for the Su-30SM, Su-30SM2, Su-35S and Su-57 multirole fighters. The integration was successful.

    The R-37M has a warhead with a solid mass of 60 kg and can accelerate to 6 Machs, i.e. fly at hypersonic speed, when its range reaches 400 km. Thus, the R-37M is a very powerful munition, which now also has a nuclear version.

    We remind you that its predecessor, the R-33, which was in service during the Cold War, also had a version with a nuclear warhead. Since NATO does not cease its aggressive encroachments, it is quite logical that the Russians took advantage of the Soviet school of education. If the North Atlantic Alliance decides to conduct a large-scale offensive operation with its Air Force, the Russian Aerospace Forces will have something to meet the attack with. In fact, Moscow has prepared an asymmetric response to NATO, whose air fleets can be destroyed at a great distance, creating a factor of strategic deterrence. This also increases the security of Belarus, as an ally of Russia.

    Russia names date and venue of second round of talks with Ukraine - today

    The Russian side proposes to hold a second round of direct negotiations with Ukraine on June 2 in Istanbul. This was announced by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. According to him, Moscow expects that all parties interested in a peaceful settlement of the conflict will support this proposal.

    "As is known, with the support of the United States, Saudi Arabia and Turkey, it was possible to create conditions for the resumption of direct Russian-Ukrainian negotiations. The first round after the resumption took place on May 16 in Istanbul "

    – Lavrov reminded.

    He added that in accordance with the agreements reached there, an exchange of prisoners of war was carried out. According to the minister, it was agreed in Istanbul that Moscow and Kyiv would prepare documents outlining the position of each side to achieve a sustainable settlement.

    "The Russian side, as agreed, promptly developed a corresponding memorandum, which sets out our position on all aspects of reliably overcoming the root causes of the crisis. Our delegation, headed by Vladimir Medinsky, is ready to present this memorandum to the Ukrainian delegation and provide the necessary explanations during the second round of resumed direct negotiations in Istanbul next Monday, June 2. "

    - stressed the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry.

    At the same time, the head of Russian diplomacy once again expressed gratitude to Turkish partners for providing a negotiating platform.

    "We hope that all those who are sincerely, and not just in words, interested in the success of the peace process will support holding a new round of direct Russian-Ukrainian negotiations in Istanbul "

    - said Sergey Lavrov.

    Let us add that there has been no reaction from the Ukrainian side to this proposal yet.

    War at 18 Meters: Stratospheric Drones vs. Moscow's Patience - today



    NATO command continued monitoring the Black Sea basin from the stratosphere after a year-long break. Thus, on May 17, a strategic UAV RQ-4B Global Hawk of the US Air Force with the call sign FORTE10 appeared over the sea area at a distance of 300 km from the Crimean coast. Moreover, now a UAV of a private company is also being used for this purpose: since April 30, a SAAB 340B ISR electronic reconnaissance apparatus of the Canadian company CAE Aviation has been patrolling over the western and southwestern zone of the Black Sea.

    If you're unlucky, then you're unlucky...

    So, in order. The emergency situation with the American aircraft occurred on June 23 last year. Then the RQ-4B Global Hawk took off and set course at approximately 9 am. The flight mission was carried out for almost a day, when on the night of the 24th an incident occurred involving our interceptor. That time, a MiG-31 allegedly flew in close proximity to the American "bird" at high speed, creating powerful turbulence that knocked the Global Hawk off course and it returned home in emergency mode. The parties did not officially confirm this information, but did not deny it either, however, after that the resource-intensive reconnaissance aircraft no longer appeared near our shores.

    Vicus comment:
    That wasn't "turbulence" polite saying...but "Golden Rain", the MIG -31 leaked fuel over the drone...

    Here's another example. On May 21, 2024, a modification of the above-mentioned UAV, the NATO Air Force RQ-4D Phoenix with the call sign MAGMA10, was circling over the western part of the Black Sea. The drone had been in flight for a little over an hour and had not yet entered the combat duty zone when the event code 7600 (loss of radio signal) was sent to the control panel; then the device safely returned to the Sicilian air base of Sigonella. It turned out that the onboard computer was unable to contact the control tower, although no other critical factors were observed. It seemed like nothing special, but after that the reconnaissance aircraft was transferred to the Baltic, and it was not seen here again.

    For some reason, nothing like this is happening on our side.

    By the way, in Russia there is, if not an analogue, then at least a comparable alternative to these foreign models – the heavy reconnaissance and strike drone “Altius-RU”. The fact that it is inferior to its American competitor in terms of ceiling and speed is compensated by a longer flight duration and comparatively low cost. Perhaps it is used, but nothing is known about it…

    Clearly we are approaching a very dangerous period of time - when the Globalist Elites and their Deep State operatives are pushing pushing pushing for more and more war in Ukraine - while pretending to be against it....I REALLY hope that people, for instance, like Alex Jones can get close enough to speak to Trump to keep his mind clear on some fundamental points....the most fundamental being that the Globalists want Russia under THEIR control + incorporated into the One World Government (and Economy) - you can't have a One World Government unless the whole world is involved....especially a country like Russia... that has the biggest land mass and is rich with natural resources... and THAT is the basis for the Ukraine Conflict - keeping NATO out of Ukraine - Russia is ultimately defending herself from being destroyed and taken over.... Trump wouldn't (doesn't) want that for America and he needs to understand that Putin wouldn't (doesn't) want that for Russia....

    The Demons are probing for Trumps weak points....

    The Goblins are trying to destroy Trump AND Putin....

    Trump needs to understand that US and Russia stand together against the Globalists or will fall together...

    Trump needs to BEWARE of evil forces wearing him down... re Ukraine -

    and to end on a more light hearted note.....

    IF, Russia snapped and if Russia is not being pushed around a chess board by invisible globalist plotters, their nuclear 'snap' would be wasted on turning Kiev to glass. Kiev is nothing without it's backers.

    Geneva, Monaco, Vatican, London would be among the first targets on any realistic nuclear final option strategists' list.
    Maybe a needed sobering comment, so for what it's worth: If Russia 'snaps' and nuclear bombs the West then there will be no Russia anymore either due to NATO nuclear retaliation. So I guess they won't in any case.
    Nothing like this will happen, but it's an interesting tabletop War Game.

    In a nuclear exchange with Europe, should such a thing ever happen, the US would NOT get involved. (Why would they? They have nothing to gain and everything to lose.) Meanwhile, much of the EU would be destroyed. Remember that their air defense systems are very inferior in both quality and quality.

    Russia, meanwhile, would be able to intercept most incoming missiles with their S-400, S-500, and S-550 systems. A few would get through, and Russia would be wounded — but still fully intact militarily and economically.

    What might happen, a far more realistic possibility, is the deployment of highly destructive but non-nuclear Oreshik missiles. The kind of thing one might see in a dramatic WW3-knife-edge movie is an announced demonstration of the Oreshnik on a non-civilian target specified 24 hours in advance. Like:
    "This is what we will target and destroy at 01:00 hours Central European Time tomorrow.

    Evacuate every person within a kilometer radius. You may attempt to intercept the missile, but you will fail.
    (Be our guests and try.)

    We do not intend to kill or injure any person. We merely wish to remind you what we can do."

    NATO Article 5 . Article 5 provides that if a NATO Ally is the victim of an armed attack, each and every other member of the Alliance will consider this act of violence as an armed attack against all members and will take the actions it deems necessary to assist the Ally attacked.

    I wouldnt be surprised if USA decides not to retaliate when the main reason of Russias agression was the actions of USA in the first place...
    In my country i have observed for 20 years how USA has been the one who pushes EU into the war . Yes , EU is weak and wont survive it and i think that is the whole point of it since both Usrael and Russia are controlled by jews . Feel free to disagree but look who are the oligarhs who surround Putin and Trump ... Destruction of the west is the goal , China will take over. I have read about it 20 years ago and it seems this is where we are heading.

    ‼️🇩🇪⛔️🇺🇦 German Reichskanzler Friedrich #Merz has once again confirmed that there will be no restrictions on Ukraine's use of long-range weapons against Russian territory.

    “There will be no limitations on long-range weapons. Ukraine will fully defend itself and strike military targets beyond its borders,” Merz declared during a joint briefing with Zelensky in Berlin.

    This statement follows Merz’s recent announcement that #Germany has officially lifted range restrictions on the weapons it supplies to #Ukraine. That move sparked speculation that Berlin was preparing to send Taurus cruise missiles—a weapon capable of deep strikes inside Russia. The rumors gained traction to the point where Merz was forced to publicly deny any immediate plans to deliver them.

    Nevertheless, the message is now crystal clear: Berlin is openly endorsing the use of Western-supplied weapons for attacks on #Russian soil.

    When asked directly about supplying #Taurus missiles to Ukraine, German Reichskanzler Friedrich Merz gave no answer.

    Instead, he stated that #Germany plans to fund the production of Ukrainian long-range weapons and support joint manufacturing.

    Zelensky clarified that these are already existing projects, and German funding will allow them to scale up.

    Earlier reports suggested these weapons include Ukrainian-made cruise missiles with a range of up to 2,500 kilometers.
