Zelenskyy Says Wartime Elections Could ‘Destroy’ Ukraine

Al Jazeera:

“I believe that in a war like this, elections as such are a huge risk. Elections right now are a tsunami for the country that will split Ukraine,” the president said in comments published on Sunday.

“If we want to destroy the country, then we can move in the direction of elections during these times of war,” he added.

Supporters of Project Ukraine will continue to pretend that “democracy” is at stake in that idiotic war of NATO expansion.

Trump To Host Netanyahu, Zelenskiy As Ukraine, Iran Wars Reach Critical Stages

Reuters:

U.S. President Donald Trump hosts Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Tuesday, with wars in Iran and Ukraine at critical stages and his ties with both leaders markedly different.

While in town to honor the life of that traitor, Donald Trump’s two daddies are preparing to issue their orders for a compromised and compliant POTUS to officially merge both of the failed wars we are waging on their behalf into one big, stupid, nuclear World War III. There is simply no chance that US foreign policy is going to somehow improve as a result of these meetings.

Iran Foreign Minister Says Ukraine’s Attack On Iranian Vessel ‘Cannot Go Unanswered’

Reuters:

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas ​Araqchi said on Sunday a Ukrainian ‌attack on an Iranian commercial vessel “cannot go unanswered”.

Iran said the attack in the ​Caspian Sea resulted in an ​explosion that killed one sailor and ⁠injured another.

It has been a while since I blogged about our proxy war against Russia in Ukraine. Nothing has changed on that front: we lost the war as soon as we started it in 2014. And nothing has changed about our war for Israel against Iran: we lost the war as soon as we started it. If you are a cynical warmonger who refuses to accept defeat, what do you do in the case of either of our failed wars? Your only option is to try to escalate your way out of defeat. Escalating both failed wars into one big dumb idiotic failed war would, I suppose, seem like the ultimate solution to a bunch of braindead Zionist and/or Globalist chickenhawks.

It appears as though the Trump Administration’s push to add Iran to the Russia sanctions package was the first clear signal that they plan to merge their failed war in Ukraine with their failed war in Iran. Why else would we have our sock puppet dictator in Kiev hit an Iranian ship? If Iran responds, will our EU vassals finally link up with us in the Iran war? Will we invoke NATO Article 5 against Iran, as if our puppet government in Kiev were a legit NATO member, as some on our side have been clamoring to do against Russia? Is the bozo Donald Trump merely pretending to back off from Iran, and pretending to engage in diplomacy with Iran, to give our proxies space to launch the provocations that will be necessary to merge our stupid wars?

US To Provide Intel To Guide Ukrainian Long-Range Missile Attacks On Russia

Financial Times:

The US will provide Ukraine with new intelligence to help guide long-range missile and drone strikes on Russia’s energy infrastructure, a move that marks an escalation in Washington’s role in the war.

Yet another stupid escalation by the dumb Neocon Trump Administration. We knew this was coming. And we know that it will not change the fact that Russia won this war as soon as we started it.

Trump’s 2-Week Deadline For Russia To Start Peace Talks Comes And Goes

Military Times:

The two-week deadline that President Donald Trump gave Russian President Vladimir Putin to make a peace deal with Ukraine ended Thursday, with Russia showing no signs of stopping the violence as Western leaders pushed for additional security guarantees for Ukraine.

Trump spoke with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and French President Emmanuel Macron by phone Thursday following a Paris meeting on the so-called “coalition of the willing” to support Ukraine.

Another dumbass Neocon Trump Administration deadline for Russia to voluntarily lose the war we started and lost against them in Ukraine has come and gone. With our stupid little EUro-peons ramping up their idiotic “coalition of the willing” bullcrap, threatening a 26-state invasion force to shore up our proxy army under the cover of US air support, Russia has no reason to stop fighting. And so the war will continue, Ukraine will continue losing territory, and the Ukrainians will continue dying for nothing.

Donald Trump’s 50-Day Deadline To Russia Expires

Newsweek:

On July 14, the U.S. president threatened “secondary tariffs” on Russia if Putin did not agree to a deal to end the war in the 50-day timeframe which has just ended.

Since then, Trump revised down the deadline to 10-12 days and there has been a meeting between the U.S. and Russian leaders in Alaska. However, the White House has not announced any economic measures to punish Putin directly linked to not meeting the deadline.

When Trump stupidly issued his dumb 50-day ultimatum, I wrote that “…he effectively gave himself fifty days to back down. Russia will not be intimidated, our sanctions are never going to collapse their economy…”

According to Reuters:

The complex web of Western sanctions targeting Russia’s oil and gas industry has failed to impede Moscow’s energy flows or its war effort, suggesting that time and overuse are blunting the force of U.S. and European financial weapons.

Too bad there is no one with even an ounce of sense in control of US foreign policy.

Trump Giving Ukraine Capability To Strike Deeper Into Russia: NATO Ambassador

Newsweek:

Speaking to Fox News on Friday, Whitaker said: “We’re giving some deeper strike capabilities and most likely the Ukrainians are going to use them and that obviously is much different from what Joe Biden did.”

It is unclear what capabilities or weapons systems Whitaker was referring to. Ukraine has repeatedly requested permission to use U.S.-supplied weapons systems to hit targets farther into Russia.

The Joe Biden administration greenlit Kyiv’s use of American Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) missiles as it left office last year. ATACMS have a range of roughly 190 miles.

Kyiv had long clamored for permission to use long-range Western weaponry far across the border. Ukraine instead turned to its homegrown drones to strike hundreds of miles into Russian territory.

The Neocon Trump Administration’s idiotic quest to escalate our way out of the strategic defeat we earned in Ukraine by re-authorizing long-range strikes into Russia is just as stupid as it is unnecessary. Hoping to force the Russians to let us freeze the conflict with a dumbass ceasefire so that Ukraine can be a constant thorn in our eye for the next century, the Neocon Trump Administration has once again set themselves up for another humiliating failure.

Russia has escalation dominance. They will handle whatever we throw at them. The only thing we can do to end this war is accept the fact that the US/EU/NATO axis of evil has lost. When that happens, and the US taxpayers’ looted treasure stops flowing, the Ukrainians can stop dying for our lost cause.

With No Ukraine Peace Deal, Trump Again Threatens Russia Sanctions

Reuters:

U.S. President Donald Trump renewed a threat to impose sanctions on Russia on Friday if there is no progress toward a peaceful settlement in Ukraine in two weeks, showing frustration at Moscow a week after his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska.

Trump cannot threaten his way out of his strategic defeat in Ukraine. It was not his war, the Globalists lost it as soon as they started it, his dumb Neocon administration stupidly took full possession of the defeat upon their inauguration, and now they all have to eat a shit sandwich. It did not have to be this way, but POTUS apparently did something disgusting on Epstein Island. And so the Ukrainians will just have to keep dying for nothing.

Zelensky Will Be Flanked By European Leaders At White House Meeting With Trump

CNN:

A host of key European leaders will join Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky when he meets with US President Donald Trump at the White House on Monday, marking a significant change in format from his disastrous Oval Office sit-down earlier this year.

If the POTUS was an actual American, we would laser their planes out of the sky. Could you imagine the Founding Fathers in this situation; a bunch of European bozos coming over to demand that the taxpayers be looted and our own troops imperiled to secure the designs of shady foreign Globalists upon the world?

The Neocon idiot Little Marco Rubio “says both Russia and Ukraine ‘have to make concessions,’” but that is stupid because Russia won the war long ago, and Russia holds all the cards right now. The Neocon idiot Lady Lindsey says that if Russia doesn’t make concessions, “we’re going to destroy the Russian economy,” but that is stupid because everything we have tried to undermine the Russian economy has backfired. She is also threatening a “bill designating Russia [a] state sponsor of terror over [the] kidnapping of Ukrainian children,” recycling the old dumb tired propaganda that Russia’s orderly evacuation of children from an active war zone is a bad thing. The Zionist Steve Witkoff “claims Russia agreed to ‘Article 5-like’ security guarantees for Ukraine,” but his allegiances are foreign, nothing he says can be trusted, and it is hard to imagine how “Article 5-like security guarantees” would happen any time soon. And what would be the point of offering such guarantees to a non-NATO country anyway–apart from serving as a trip-wire to reignite the conflict just as soon as these idiots delude themselves into believing they have the upper hand?

Russia will have to keep grinding down the US/EU/NATO proxy army in Ukraine until POTUS gets a clue. Until he stops listening to anti-American ideologues, Ukrainians will continue dying for nothing.

Trump Says No Agreement On Ending Russia’s War In Ukraine As Putin Says There Was An ‘Understanding’

AP News:

“We had an extremely productive meeting, and many points were agreed to,” Trump said. “And there are just a very few that are left. Some are not that significant. One is probably the most significant, but we have a very good chance of getting there.”

I did not want to make any predictions about today’s meeting, because I was convinced that POTUS would do something stupid like capture or assassinate Putin. But if I could make a prediction about the results of the meeting, I would say that nothing is going to change. The Neocon Trump Administration will continue fruitlessly attempting to freeze our long-lost war with a ceasefire, the Russians will continue grinding down the US/EU/NATO proxy army in Ukraine, and our puppet government in Kiev will continue losing territory.

Trump Deploys Nuclear Subs Near Russia After Putin Aide Medvedev’s ‘Dead Hand’ Warning

News18:

US President Donald Trump ordered two nuclear submarines to be deployed to “appropriate regions” in response to “highly provocative” remarks made by former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, now the Deputy Chairman of Russia’s Security Council and a close associate of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

To be clear, Medvedev made zero “provocative” remarks. Russia’s “Dead Hand” is an automated response to a US/NATO first strike. The only way Russia’s Dead Hand could threaten us is if we have already started Nuclear World War III.

Once again, the Russians have epically trolled the POTUS.

Ukraine Proposes New Round Of Peace Talks With Russia Next Week

The Guardian:

Kyiv has proposed to Moscow a new round of peace talks next week, Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Saturday, after negotiations stalled in early June.

Two rounds of talks in Istanbul between Moscow and Kyiv failed to result in any progress towards a ceasefire, instead yielding large-scale prisoner exchanges and deals to return the bodies of killed soldiers.

“Security council secretary [Rustem] Umerov also reported that he had proposed the next meeting with the Russian side for next week,” Zelenskyy said in his evening address to the country.

“The momentum of the negotiations must be stepped up,” he added.

Zelenskyy reiterated his readiness to have a face-to-face meeting with the Russian president, Vladimir Putin. “A meeting at the leadership level is needed to truly ensure peace – lasting peace,” he said.

A “meeting at the leadership level” would be a meeting between Presidents Putin and Trump–because Zelensky is just a sock puppet. But it does not seem like Trump really has a handle on anything happening in the world, anyway.

What is the angle that Zelensky is trying to work here? Is this merely a reflection of the fact that we understand our proxy army is collapsing while Russian momentum is increasing?

Condoleeza Rice says that Trump’s total betrayal of MAGA is the turning point. She also thought the Iraq war was a great idea, so take that with a grain of salt.

Trump Talks Tough On Russia, But Will He Follow Through?

Al Jazeera:

On July 14, United States President Donald Trump teased a sea change in his approach to Russia’s war against Ukraine. Trump declared he would send significant additional air defence units to Ukraine, whose cities are now subject to an average onslaught of more than 100 Russian drones and missiles daily. Leaks from the White House even claimed Trump had inquired with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a preceding phone call about what offensive weaponry Kyiv needed to hit Moscow directly.

Trump also made his most explicit sanction threat to date, proposing a 100 percent “secondary tariff” on countries that buy Russian oil, if the Kremlin does not agree to a ceasefire in 50 days, by September 3. But Trump’s tough talk has fallen far short of moving the dial. Russian officials have laughed off his claims about hitting Moscow. Air defence deliveries may lower the damage from Putin’s aerial onslaught, but delivering them in anything like the numbers Trump floated will take many months.

When President Trump incredibly-stupidly issued his dumb 50-day ultimatum earlier this week for Russia to voluntarily lose our war in Ukraine, he effectively gave himself fifty days to back down. Russia will not be intimidated, our sanctions are never going to collapse their economy, we do not have the defense industrial capacity to match their firepower, and they can shoot down everything we shoot at them.

All President Trump has done is pointlessly escalate himself into an embarrassing corner. He is letting the worst ideologues coax him into all of these idiotic moves. Or he is totally compromised, or he was always full of shit about MAGA, or whatever.

Any way you look at it, President Trump has taken complete ownership of the US/EU/NATO strategic defeat in Ukraine and thus he continues his losing streak.

Sen. Lindsey Graham Says Sanctions Bill Would Give Trump A “Sledgehammer” Against Russia Amid “Turning Point” In War With Ukraine

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.

‘You’ll Be Seeing Things Happen’: President Trump Teases ‘Major Statement’ On Russia

USA Today:

President Donald Trump said he plans to make a “major statement” early next week on Russia as he escalates his criticism of Russian President Vladimir Putin amid Russia’s recent wave of attacks on Ukraine.

The only “major statement” he needs to make is that all support and assets have been pulled from Ukraine. That is the only way he can end the war. But something happened, the Deep State got him, so we can count on him to only do the stupidest, most wrong, dumb, bad thing ever by escalating.

Trump Evokes Russia Sanctions After Largest Assault On Ukraine

Agence France-Presse:

US President Donald Trump said Russia just wanted to “keep killing people” and hinted at sanctions  after Moscow launched its largest ever drone and missile attack on Ukraine in the three-year-old war.

Trump said Friday he was “very unhappy” about his telephone call with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, saying: “He wants to go all the way, just keep killing people, it’s no good”.

The US president said he and Putin talked about sanctions “a lot”, adding: “He understands that it may be coming”.

In yet another example of how President Trump has very stupidly taken full possession of our very stupid war in Ukraine, he is now threatening to hit Russia with even more stupid sanctions which absolutely will not do anything to change the fact that we have lost the war.

This is not “4D chess.” He is not accidentally getting everything wrong, foreign policy-wise. There are currently no active Deep State coup plots being overtly carried out against him, and he is giving them everything they ever wanted. MAGA is dead.

CBS News:

The Netherlands’ military intelligence and the security service, together with the German intelligence service, found that the use of prohibited chemical weapons by the Russian military had become “standardized and commonplace” in Ukraine.

I doubt many people are stupid enough to believe any of this. Russia won the war that we started in Ukraine as soon as we started it, and they did so with conventional weapons. But, we better play it safe: the Netherlands better start an Iraq-style war of regime change against Russia.

In Ukraine, Most Back Negotiations Over More Fighting To End Russia’s War

Al Jazeera:

…56 percent of Ukrainians . . . would agree to a “compromise” to end Europe’s bloodiest armed conflict since 1945, according to a survey released on Thursday by the Janus Institute for Strategic Studies and Forecasts and the SOCIS Center for Social and Marketing Research, both Kyiv-based pollsters.

The “compromise” means that Kyiv would have to agree to Russia’s de facto control of almost a fifth of Ukraine’s territory.

As the Russians launch their summer offensive, the Ukrainians want out of Project Ukraine.

Russia’s Summer Offensive In Ukraine Gains Ground With New Tactics

The New York Times:

Russia’s summer offensive in eastern Ukraine, launched in May, is showing battlefield gains across multiple fronts, probing and attacking with small, fast-moving units as fighting escalates daily.

The US/EU/NATO proxy army in Ukraine is still losing. As the Zionists race to drive up the price of oil with their stupid war in Iran, the Russians are likely to pick up even more momentum. Especially so, considering the fact that our arming of the puppet government in Kiev will take a backseat to our arming of the genocidal Zionist regime.

At least the POW swaps got back on track.

Reuters:

Despite talk of peace, the war is stepping up with Russian forces grabbing more territory in Ukraine and Kyiv unfurling high-profile drone and sabotage attacks on Russia’s nuclear-capable bomber fleet and, according to Moscow, on railways.

All we have to do is acknowledge the fact that Project Ukraine has failed, cut off all support to our puppet government in Kiev, and cut off all support to the EUro-peons who toil to prolong this very stupid, very unnecessary war. The sooner we do it, the better for Ukraine.
