ABC News:

Sen. Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican, said Sunday that “a turning point regarding Russia invasion of Ukraine is coming” amid a bipartisan effort in Congress to impose new economic sanctions aimed at ramping up pressure on the Kremlin to end the war in Ukraine.

The dear sweet little senator from South Carolina is still trying to fool us all into believing that he is some sort of a tough guy with his Neocon tough guy nonsense. Aint fooling me, pal.

No sanctions will snatch for us a victory from the jaws of defeat in Ukraine. We were never going to win. Perpetuating it is pointless. Trump campaigned for POTUS on the futility of Project Ukraine. He knows it is a lost cause. And yet, very stupidly, he has already taken full ownership of our strategic defeat.

Why does POTUS need a “sledgehammer” for Russia? He doesn’t. The Americans have no beef with Russia. The Globalists and the Neocons need a sledgehammer for Russia, but there is nothing American about their rancid ideologies.

The only “turning point” that is coming soon will be the complete collapse of the US/EU/NATO proxy army east of the river, and the retreat of our Ukrainian puppet government from Kiev–if it does not first collapse.

BBC News:

US President Donald Trump has said Russia and Ukraine “are very close to a deal”, hours after his envoy Steve Witkoff and Russian President Vladimir Putin held talks in Moscow.

Trump said it had been a “good day” of negotiations, while the Kremlin described the talks – which Ukraine was not present at – as “constructive”.

Earlier, Trump said on social media that “most of the major points are agreed to,” and urged Russia and Ukraine to meet “at very high levels” and “to finish it [the deal] off”.

Spoiler alert: Russia and the US/EU/NATO puppet government in Kiev are nowhere near a deal to end the war.

As the reader can see, I have not been blogging regularly. When I originally re-started this blog, I did not intend for it to be political (I have not voted since 2004). Yet the content shifted, as the disaster of Joe Biden’s Deep State sock puppet presidency unfolded like a slow-moving train wreck. Blogging the actual presidency of Donald Trump is slightly diffiult. He is, after all, and for better or worse, an actual president. He does not simply read from the teleprompter whatever moronic speech was written for him to read by a cabal of dumb Globalist, Deep State handlers. President Trump is an actual POTUS, who is actually in charge, and he is always working some sort of angle.

To the sufferer of Trump Derangement Syndrome, the above paragraph may seem overtly pro-Trump, but it is not. President Trump is a true POTUS, who is truly in charge, and that is precisely why we can say that he has failed in Ukraine.

President Trump recently called “his promise to end the Russia-Ukraine war on Day One ‘an exaggeration,'” but we knew this at the time. Donald Trump could have never ended the war on day one of his presidency because he could have never personally compelled all of our proxy forces in Ukraine to abrubtly cease operations.

But he could have halted nearly all US funding, support, and involvement in Ukraine on day one. And he could have kept it halted. Past funding and support would have quickly dried up. The Euro-peons would have worked overtime to undermine us and to keep the war going, which they have done anyway, but the EU is inconsequential. There are things President Trump could be doing to correctly handle the EU, but that is a topic for another day.

Unless the Black Sea ceasefire and the rare-earth minerals deal were designed to be deliberately bad, for some sneaky reason, they were both very dumb ideas and a waste of time. The Russians know that if some sort of peace is formally declared in the Black Sea, then the treachorous Turks will open the straits and transform the Black Sea into a parking lot for Western navies. We are also never going to recoup our losses in Ukraine. Everything we have done there has been for nothing, all of it has been a waste of time, and everyone we have gotten killed there has died for nothing. We do not need to solidify our involvement with an economic packge, we simply need to end our involvement.

President Trump is actively taking steps to keep the war going. He says that he wants to end the war. It is now undoubtedly his war to end.

The New York Times:

About 61 percent of Republican voters say the United States should not send weapons or military aid to Ukraine, according to a CBS poll this month. In an interview, Mr. Johnson said many Republicans had “voted no but prayed yes,” in part because “they just didn’t want to have to go home and try to explain that.”

But even opponents of the bill noted that voters’ resistance was not as passionate as the rebellion over it on Capitol Hill.

It is ironic that people are willing to go along with this; now, when the inevitable collapse of Project Ukraine is more apparent than ever.

I have no faith in President Trump’s ability to keep us out of the nuclear World War III for which the Globalists have been setting us all up now for decades. But, there are at least still some Republicans in Congress who are willing to defy the Establishment.

Newsweek:

“There’s a loan component to it. This would not have passed without President Trump. I want to thank the House Speaker [Mike Johnson] and [Minority Leader] Hakeem Jeffries working together in a bipartisan fashion to give weapons to Ukraine to fight a fight that matters to us,” Graham said. “And President Trump has created a loan component to this package that gives us leverage down the road.”

Earlier this month, Johnson visited Trump at Mar-a-Lago where the former president expressed support for structuring some Ukraine aid as a loan.

“We’re looking at it right now, and they’re talking about it, and we’re thinking about making it in the form of a loan instead of just a gift,” Trump said during the media event with the House speaker. “We keep handing out gifts of billions and billions of dollars, and we’ll take a look at it.”

Earlier this year on the campaign trail and on his Truth Social social media platform, Trump advocated for loans as Ukraine’s primary form of foreign aid.

Structuring our foreign aid to Ukraine in the form of a loan is just as dumb as structuring it in the form of a gift. The longer we keep our stupid War in Ukraine going, the less territory and population there will be for the post-war, dysfunctional Ukrainian rump state to control and tax. If we keep the war going too long, there will be no Ukraine left. Who is going to repay these idiotic loans?

The war needs to end right now. The fact that President Trump could be talked into taking any other position just goes to show that he too is garbage. He is not playing 4D chess, he is not helping the people; he is helping the politicians, the banksters, the war profiteers, and the Globalists.

This is not news. After all, President Trump is the one who first started loading up Ukraine with weapons, so that the Establishment can follow through on their plan to transform Ukraine into a NATO battering ram with which to menace, threaten, destabilize, and eventually control Russia. President Trump did not keep us out of a mess in Ukraine, he put us in one. And, just as President Biden defies Congress in order to sponsor genocide and foreign wars which do not advance our interests, President Trump did it too.

So vote for whoever you want this year–it will not matter.

The Hill:

House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul (R-Texas) called GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy’s plan for the Russia-Ukraine war a “surrender to Russian aggression.” 

“I think that would be a surrender to Russian aggression, just like we surrendered to the Taliban,” McCaul said Wednesday in an interview on CBS News, referring to the withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan in 2021.

Yeah but it’s not the United States who has to surrender to Russia in Ukraine. All we have to do is pull out all our assets and cut off all support. It’s the US/EU/NATO puppet government in Kiev — which we should have never created in the first place — that will inevitably be surrendering to Russia in Ukraine.

These bloodthirsty warmongering Neocon and Globalist chickenhawks tend to live vicariously through our overseas clients. Like sports fans who use words like “we” and “us” when discussing their favorite team. Ukraine is not America. America will never need to surrender to anyone. What America does need is for the ideologues who have captured the US federal government to stop trying to take over the world.

I know virtually nothing about Ramaswamy apart from a few statements he has made on foreign policy. He sounds like way more of an American than that cuck McMCaul.

The Washington Post:

In response to the growing fissure within the GOP over support for the war effort in Ukraine, a conservative group is launching a $2 million campaign urging Republicans in Congress to continue backing the U.S. ally.

Defending Democracy Together, an organization led by Republican strategist Sarah Longwell and conservative political commentator Bill Kristol, is launching “Republicans for Ukraine” to get congressional Republicans to commit to continue funding aid for Ukraine ahead of what is likely to be a lengthy appropriations fight.

There is, of course, nothing “conservative” about these people or their megalomaniacal global war agenda. They are anti-Americans; Neoconservatives and Globalists. They are Never-Trumpers who aided and abetted various coup attempts against our duly-elected POTUS. They are garbage.

Friendship and trade with Russia are conservative. So is a general anti-interventionist foreign policy. Don’t be garbage: be an American and oppose this stupid war in Ukraine.

Reason:

President Joe Biden has claimed that the U.S.’s support for Ukraine “will not waver” amid its conflict with Russia, but new reports about the slow pace of Kyiv’s counteroffensive highlight the costs of the fighting. 

The New York Times reported last week that newly Western-trained Ukrainian brigades have failed to achieve any “sweeping gains,” due to Russian artillery fire. Similarly, CNN has highlighted Ukraine’s difficulty in penetrating Russian defenses, with one Ukrainian official calling the density of Russian mines “insane.” And Politico reported Tuesday that U.S. officials expect the counteroffensive to last “at least through the fall and possibly into the winter.”

These reports follow a July 25 story in The Wall Street Journal claiming that the failure of Ukraine’s counteroffensive to achieve its objectives has many Western officials fearing an “open-ended conflict”—and pessimistic that conflict-ending negotiations will occur this year. 

Maybe the fact that we long ago jumped the shark in Ukraine will play a roll in upcoming elections. Probably not to any meaningful extent, though.
