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......

The Iran war is an unmitigated disaster for Trump. Everything he does makes it worse. He has temporarily stopped the "tit for tat" exchange with Iran and is once again looking for something like the MoU that he previously signed and then violated every point within days to try some more bullying tactics, which make things worse. But now the Iranians are going to be much tougher and demand many more concessions up front. If they say no MoU, no offramp until Israel gets out of Lebanon for real, what will Trump do? He is in a very weak position.

Meanwhile, in Ukraine, Russia is moving at a steadily increasing pace. The Russian public does want this war over and with nothing less than a complete victory. Prof. Mearsheimer has been saying that the war will end with an "ugly peace" something like Korea. He keeps saying that Russia does not want to conquer all of Ukraine. Now he is beginning to waffle on that - he now says that Russia is clearly ...

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

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.
