The U.S. has the most diplomatic clout in the world and should deploy it by restarting long-overdue negotiations with Russia should Trump come to power.

It is hard to imagine a handling of the Russia-Ukraine war more catastrophic than under the Presidency of Joe Biden. With every passing day, Ukraine becomes increasingly indebted, broken and depopulated.

Would Trump be able to end the war in 24 hours as he suggests? We can garner some clues from his first Presidency. How does then compare to now in terms of what Trump might achieve?


From the moment he took office in January 2017, President Trump was swimming against a fast moving tide of bipartisan resistance to engagement with Russia. Mainstream western press coverage of his efforts was consistently stained with the unattractive tint of Russian collusion.

Fears that Trump would get too close to Putin undoubtedly contributed to the agreement by Congress and the Senate of the sweeping Countering American Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA) which Trump was forced to sign into U.S. Law in August 2017. CAATSA was largely a codification of existing sanctions under a single umbrella. But in terms of the economics, CAATSA led inter alia to massive disruption to global aluminium markets after the U.S. sanctioned oligarch Oleg Deripaska and Rusal in April 2018.

The Kremlin responded with a massive expulsion of U.S. diplomats and locally employed embassy staff in Russia, amounting to 755 staff in total. Add another 60 U.S. diplomats expelled in April 2018. Bilateral U.S.-Russia diplomatic relations had never been so bad. CAATSA also caused fractures in U.S. relations with key EU Member States, because it restricted European companies' scope to trade with Russia, if those companies had U.S. holdings.

There is some speculation in Washington about a so-called October Surprise being engineered by either party or their supporters to change the outcome of the upcoming election. The original October Surprise took place in 1980, when Ronald Reagan's campaign manager William Casey conspired with several senior CIA officers in Europe to convince the Iranian government to delay the release of the American Embassy hostages until after the November election against Jimmy Carter. Casey believed that any earlier release of the hostages would give a boost to the Carter campaign, demonstrating that the Democratic Party's policy of how to deal with Iran was working. The Iranian government was approached secretly using CIA resources and complied with the request, believing that it would result in a less hostile relationship with the new administration. In the event, Reagan defeated Carter and some believed that the continuation of the hostage crisis had made the administration look feckless and hurt the incumbent just enough to change the outcome of the election.

Since that time "October Surprise" has become shorthand for playing a political dirty trick shortly before the election to directly impact negatively on a candidate's credibility or ability to respond to problems.

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico talks sense to a deranged West addicted to 'collective solipsism'.

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has done something very normal that in today's West is highly unusual - Fico said that when a war ends, actual peace should follow.

This sensational idea is the essence of his statement, made at a press conference in Bratislava, that if the Ukraine War "ends during the [2023-2027] mandate of this government," he will do "everything possible for the renewal of economic and normal relations with Russia."

What an outrageously reasonable idea! Especially for the leader of a small state that belongs to both the EU and NATO. And all the more so as he is heading to a meeting with the Ukrainian leadership to discuss how to continue the transit of Russian gas through Ukraine so that the Slovak economy does not go the way of Germany's - a slow, then increasingly rapid collapse by energy strangulation at the hands of Washington and Kiev.

"Whether it's Facebook or Twitter or X or Instagram or TikTok, whatever they are, if they don't moderate and monitor the content we lose total control. . . ."
— Hillary Clinton

"We lose total control. . ." she said.

Perhaps when you heard that you thought, "What do you mean 'we,' Kemosabe?"

You have also known for some time now, that Hillary is exactly the something wicked that has been coming this way for many years, to the siren song of the cable news harpies shrieking Trump Trump Trump. . . Putin Putin Putin at all hours, day and night, month after dreary month, and all the other avatars of ruin pretending to run the life of our nation. But this utterance begs enough questions to keep Chat GDP vexed and perplexed for the rest of its unnatural life: We lose total control. . . ?

Yes, as matter of fact, you do. This might be a book tour too far for Mrs. Clinton and her claque, now that her basket of deplorables shivers in the cold and dark out in Appalachia amid the stink of their kinfolks' uncollected corpses. The Party of Chaos has managed to piss-off the most ferocious demographic in the land, the wild and cross-grained Scotch-Irish who populate those devastated hills and hollows of Western Carolina and East Tennessee, the people who, for generations, were first to volunteer to fight in America's wars, the Sargeant Yorks, the moonshiners and the stock car heroes, the Johnson Boys, Boones and Crocketts, Hatfields and McCoys, the very warp and woof of our folklore, half horse and half alligator, born fighting. And now you and your gang of wine-club harpies, Beltway mezzofinukes, Hollywood Satan-conjurors, Hamptons charity-hags, globe-trotting errand boys, color revolution maestros, race hustlers, drag queens, lawfare shysters, spooks, cut-outs, beach friends, and grifters have gone and pissed these folks off royally.

Any attacks from Israel will be met with an "unconventional response," Tehran has said.

Tehran has sent a note to Washington via Qatar that it will no longer exercise "unilateral self-restraint" when it comes to Israel, Al Jazeera has reported, quoting an Iranian source. The message came as West Jerusalem has threatened a "harsh response" to Tuesday's barrage of Iranian missiles, which Tehran described as reprisal for the deaths of Hamas and Hezbollah leaders at Israel's hands.

Iran informed the US that "the phase of unilateral self-restraint has ended," since that failed to safeguard Tehran's national security requirements, the anonymous source told Al Jazeera on Thursday.

Tehran does not want a regional war but any attack by Israel will be met with an "unconventional response" that includes targeting Israeli infrastructure, according to the Qatar-based outlet.

Meanwhile, the Iranian mission to the UN has issued a statement putting other countries on notice should they aid any Israeli strike on Iran.

"Our response will be solely directed at the aggressor. Should any country render assistance to the aggressor, it should likewise be deemed an accomplice and a legitimate target. We advise countries to refrain from entangling themselves in the conflict between the Israeli regime and Iran and to distance themselves from the fray."

Israel has given in to the need to strike out and kill some more people. In the wake of the Barack Obama-style (563 strikes) assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, the IDF has widened its killing past beyond Beirut's Dahiyeh suburb. Bibi Netanyahu's forces have now entered Southern Lebanon.
Attacks in Syria and as far afield as Yemen have already taken place, and a much wider conflict is expected. We must begin to factor in the following points if the end of civilization as we know it is to be averted.

The "Go Ahead"

Watching as the world's scattered wildfires of chaos widen, it's difficult for many people to come to grips with the fact that God's "chosen" people were selected for their thirst for blood. As an American who helped defend U.S. interests in the region back in the 1980s, I know now why my conscience bothered me when shipmates would talk about levelling areas in Lebanon and Syria. Our commanders, the news media, and no politician ever pointed out to us that fellow human beings were beneath our bombs and shells. Palestinians, the people of the Middle East as a whole, have been portrayed by our leaders as sub-human, barbarians, and worse in a propaganda effort to dehumanize them. Killing sub-humans, after all, is a lot easier than murdering male, female, and infant Homo sapiens.

And now the elites make their final play to subjugate not only Israel's neighbours and foes but all of the rest of us as well. Gaza was the test, you see? If 50,000 trapped men, women, and children in an Israeli-created shooting gallery could be snuffed without a whimper from Americans, the Europeans, the Brits, or those peace-loving Canadians, the green light for wholesale slaughter was flipped on. If Israel is allowed to murder kids from Yemen to Tehran and back, with Washington's go-ahead, then launching longer-range attacks from Ukraine into Russia won't be much of a stretch.

Sure, the Russians will probably light up some NATO capital, or Kyiv at least, but we have been prepared perfectly. The average American still believes the people of Israel are chosen by the almighty! Is it just me, or do the rest of you reading this report understand that the Zionists are using Judaism as a shield to allow them impunity? My friends, this has nothing to do with religion. And no, the God we are taught to worship in Sunday school is not smiling on those who blast little kids to pieces so they can build a bigger, shinier, and richer Israel. This is all about conquest.

Though Russian President Putin has reasons galore to be quietly cheerful when he marks his 72nd birthday this Monday, 7th October, chief of these are that he has been loyal to his faith, his family and his motherland. Were his mother or his elder brother, who died as an infant in Finland's Siege of Leningrad, to testify to us from beyond the Styx, they would be rightly very proud of how Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin not only stayed true to all of them but to Mother Russia as well.

The collapse of the Soviet Union around Putin's ears was a pitiable sight. Red Army soldiers in Budapest sold their kits for pennies to passersby, vodka and depression slashed the life expectancy of Russia's males, patriotic Russian teachers were paid with cabbage heads and Western gangsters, together with their local collaborators, robbed Russia blind. To the extent that Putin has reversed all of that, he and his helpers should be immensely proud of the work they have done thus far.

Not that those enemies have gone away. They have not and one very important vector worth examining is the soft war NATO is directing through the cross dressing Ukrainian dictator Zelensky and Russian fifth columnists like the Pussy Riot slappers, who enjoy the same considerable support amongst the brothels and bordellos of Eastern Europe that the Gestapo did in occupied France.

That Putin's most vehement Ukrainian critics have, like Hitler's French collaborators, degenerated into nothing more than hired hitmen, should not unduly surprise us, as they were nothing much better to begin with. What is, at first glance, far more noteworthy is the unrelenting attack on everything Russian, from the great Dostoevsky to the equally great Masha and the Bear, which makes no sense until we read this very day that children in Ukraine are still being brutalised for speaking their Russian mother tongue, the same mother tongue they share with the cross-dressing Ukrainian dictator and far too many immortal musicians, artists and authors to adumbrate here.

It seems that the idea of transhumanism as a major force in this current global debacle is often put on the back burner and is considered a bit too extreme to really be taken seriously. But if I was cornered and asked what I thought the three most significant, and horrifying, elements of this present human challenge were, I would say transhumanism (the destruction of humanity as a group of God-made humans), the attempt to kill God, and the waging of eternal war in the world. The primary method used to accomplish all of this is global collectivism.

The assault that all three of these things illustrate essentially boils down to the same basic fundamental endeavour — good vs evil. Good is defined as God's creation (and if you don't believe in God, just say "nature's creation") and evil is defined as the annihilation of God's creation (or nature's creation).

All three of these things stated in the title of this article are activities, profoundly human activities, and are all disguised as some necessary element in sustaining the "good" life. Which is about as ironic as you can get.

Transhumanism is disguised as technological progress in the spirit of maintaining a suffer-less life and extending that life as long as possible. The death of God (of course no one or thing can "kill" God, but you know what I mean) is necessary for self-preservation (physical life). God restricts us, or so they say, and it is inhuman to be beholding to any sort of powerful entity (assuming that God actually fits that limited definition). So clearly God must be destroyed if man is to take His place creating medical advancement to avoid the single thing a material human fears the most — death. Destroying God creates at the same time the notion that physical life is the end-all of existence and that without God we are free to be God and create technology that knows how to sustain life better than God ever did, or ever will.

Never-ending war is more of a current technicality than a philosophical necessity. War is presently necessary to keep the fear of death alive, which is necessary to keep the techno-medical wheels turning, which is necessary to keep the desperation for never-ending life and physical "safety" alive. War can be a variety of things, it can be the old-fashioned sort of war where men and women run around in open fields and get shot at or blown up in a variety of ways, or it can be the war of disease through pandemics, cancers, poisons a person eats, drinks, is jabbed with, or breathes. War of these sorts creates fears, which creates efforts to stay alive and safe, which creates compliance to the World Order which is calling the shots — no pun intended.

See how smoothly all of this works?

Let me present a bit of detail on each of these three concepts.

The propaganda spread by the US always wanted to dismantle Russia piece by piece. But Putin knew it all along and disrupted their plans, restoring Russia's superiority. In his column, ageopolitical analyst S L Kanthan delves in deeper into the origin of Putin's heroic act.

The US has been consumed by virulent Russophobia for a decade, and the entire US establishment demonizes President Vladimir Putin in unison. There is no free speech for American and European presstitutes when it comes to Russia - every journalist, TV anchor, academic and think tank must hate Putin and portray Russia as a threat to the collective West.

Thus, the truth has been buried under sixty feet of propaganda and censorship. The fact is that after the fall of the Soviet Union, globalists fantasized about breaking up Russia further and erasing it from history. That's when Putin came, disrupted the American plan, saved Russia, and began the task of restoring the civilizational state to its greatness.

Let us look at what has been hidden from much of the public. There are also valuable lessons for India and other countries of the Global South.

The real US-Russia conflict is about geopolitical power struggle for world domination, which involves hundreds of trillions of dollars, massive egos of Machiavellian globalists, and nations driven by memory of the past and visions of the future.

The country has so far rejected Washington's call not to attack Iranian oil and nuclear facilities.

The US is reportedly asking Israel to refrain from hitting certain targets in its expected reprisal for last week's missile strike by Iran, the Israeli TV channel Kan11 claimed on Sunday.

Tehran fired over 180 ballistic missiles at targets in Israel last Tuesday, calling the barrage its reaction to the assassinations of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh and Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the Iranian move a "big mistake."

American officials are offering Israel a "compensation package" for refraining from attacks on specific locations in Iran, the channel said. The payoff would include "diplomatic protection" and more weapons, its reporter Amichai Stein stated, citing US sources.

Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant told CNN on Sunday that "everything is on the table" in terms of the selection of targets, commenting on a public call by US President Joe Biden not to attack Iranian nuclear and oil facilities.
