The chaotic process of negotiation between Moscow and Washington continues, to Zelensky's dismay and the European leadership's horror. I should say that in terms of the negotiations yesterday - or to be precise the news management which took place yesterday - yesterday was especially chaotic. Nonetheless I continue to believe that we are moving towards what we call on The Duran "Istanbul Plus" ie. the US's acceptance of Putin's 14th June 2024 terms.

Meanwhile the war goes on and an important fact about yesterday was that the US Intelligence Community published two reports yesterday, whose preparation obviously pre-dates Tulsi Gabbard's appointment, which finally admit, however grudgingly, that Russia is winning the war.

Meanwhile Starmer's 'Coalition of the Willing' continues to unravel, the EU's grand rearmament plan is melting into air, Germany drifts into further financialisation, and the UK into deeper economic and social crisis.

At the same time the situation in the Middle East gets worse every day.

So much to talk about......

In my opinion by far the most important event occurring at the moment is the unfolding collapse of Ukraine. The front lines are breaking, the energy system is collapsing, and there is a funding crisis which the EU is finding it impossible to resolve. Against this background there is an ongoing power struggle in Kiev masquerading as an 'anti-corruption' campaign (it is no such thing) and there are growing signs that once prominent rats are jumping the visibly sinking ship (there are rumours that the Energy Minister has fled abroad following the lead apparently set by Umerov).

Meanwhile even the UK media talk about Zelensky's increasing disconnection from reality https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/11/18/zelensky-is-losing-touch-with-reality/

As it happens the latest word about Zelensky is that he is flying today to meet Witkoff in Istanbul, supposedly in order to get the negotiations with Russia - which just a week ago the Ukrainians were saying had been 'suspended' till the end of ...

A quick commentary on the "Piss Summit"
I might not be able to upload much more or do lives for a while

My Fellow Duranianss.

Yes, it's happened again. I have been assaulted by a vicious Malware Bot Virus or whatever 911 Socks is and this thing is bad ! 

However I wanted to give you a "peace" of my mind concerning the "Piece" or piss, as Elensky calls it, as this thing fell to pieces before it even happened.

Coincidentally on the very SAME DAY  this crap happened Saudi Arabia DROPPED the US Petrodollar as a buying currency and NO ONE absolutely NO ONE is talking about this fact anywhere !!!

 

Hope to see you all asap.
