It’s Time for a Decision on Ukraine
Posted originally on Jan 5, 2024 By Martin Armstrong
I have spent way too much time the past few days on phone conversations concerning the geopolitical Ukrainian mess from different sides and what our computer is showing. There is a growing concern in Washington that this war in Ukraine has run its course. This seems to have risen since Biden threatened if he did not get the money for Ukraine, US troops would have to go there and fight – totally insane. This seems to be backfiring. Biden just reads the cards handed to him by the Neocons or Climate Change nuts.
What seems to be emerging is there are some US policymakers who are starting to connect the dots and have looked at this Minsk Agreement and concluded, off the record, that the only reality of peace is to start with a ceasefire that blends into a peace deal that divides Ukraine allowing Putin to keep the part he has occupied being the Donbas and that includes Crimea.
Putin has been making peace proposals all along. The Western Neocons have refused to negotiate. NATO previously killed any peace deal for Ukraine. Then Boris Johnson traveled to Ukraine to instruct Zelensky that he was NOT allowed to seek peace with Russia. The West has wanted to conquer Russia for centuries. All Ukraine had to do was honor the Minsk Agreement, and the war would have been over in 24 hours.
Zelensky is seeking to draft another 500,000 more people to die for the Neocons – ASAP. I did not want to publish the real death toll, for when I first reported that 100,000 were killed, I got a ton of hate mail claiming I was spreading Russian Propaganda. Ursula von der Leyen, the head of the EU, had released a video and then edited it, deleting that very information I had reported at the request of Zelensky, who was trying to hide the fact that he had already lost 20% of his army by the end of 2022 in the first few months. Zelensky was pretending Ukraine was winning to keep the money flowing.
The Ukrainians are notorious for false flags. In Italy, Zelensky lied, claiming Russians were capturing children and torturing them. That allegation vanished. Zelensky has said whatever he can to get money and rejects any accountability. The US Pentagon has come out and even said that they CAN NOT independently verify what took place in Bucha. There is no way to verify anything in Bucha, which Ursula von der Leyen just repeated Zelensky’s propaganda while censoring the true story about the death toll. There are even videos of Bucha that show people lying in the street pretending to be dead with no blood, and then there are videos showing they get up when the camera passes.
The real number of deaths from UKRAINIAN sources is 1.1 million, I am told, and AGAIN, this comes from Ukraine – not Russia! In fact, a local TV news operation reported the real number, and Zelensky again made them take it down as he did with the head of the EU. They suddenly reported it was a typo. The Neocons are completely destroying Ukraine, and they have ZERO regard for Ukrainian lives as they will with Americans or Europeans.
Putin’s popularity is for real 80%+, and that is entirely understandable that this hatred hurled at Putin is really toward ALL Russians. The West has two choices because there is absolutely NO POSSIBLE WAY for Ukraine actually to defeat Russia. They have 3.5 million men without drafting. The critics of Putin feel he is too “SOFT” and he should have invaded Ukraine like the US did to Iraq, and the war would have been over in 6 weeks.
Initially, Putin sent a column of tanks to approach Kiev. They were a show of force but just parked there. Putin’s critics argue they should have advanced and taken Kiev then and there. Putin saw it as a special operation to only protect the Donbas. He did not want to conquer Ukraine. He was telling the Ukrainians that they were brothers and they should not fight and end this civil war.
Here is the problem. Putin stands for election in March. Either the West agrees to a peace deal for his re-election, or Putin may be forced to deal a death blow to Ukraine. That would not go over well for many, and it would call into question NATO as a viable military entity when they have trained the Ukrainian troops that have been decimated. The question is, will the sound rational thinkers prevail, or will the Neocons prevail with the no-compromise agenda? With Putin standing for election, his hand may be forced to bring this to an end and proclaim victory.
Most of the articles that keep claiming Russia is losing are sources with the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), which is Victoria Nuland’s sister-in-law. That is the most untrustworthy source you will ever have in a war, which is always their objective – destroy Russia and China. It was Victoria Nuland’s husband, Robert Kagan, who wrote the Washington Post piece calling Trump a dictator because his wife has been in every administration EXCEPT Trump’s. The Neocons have thrown everything they could think of at Trump to desperately discredit him. This 2024 election is really a choice between War and Peace. There are some who realize in DC that they cannot send troops to fight Russia, for that will be playing into the arguments of Trump.
The ECM Half Cycle Dates from the start of the Cold War in 1947 brings us to October 15th, 2024. It was on February 17 when the Cold War Voice of America began broadcasting to Eastern Europe, and it was May 22nd when President Harry S. Truman signed an Act of Congress that implemented the Truman Doctrine. This Act granted $400 million in military and economic aid to Turkey and Greece. This was the official start of the Cold War to prevent the spread of Communism.

The Russian presidential election will be held on March 15–17, 2024. We have had a Panic Cycle this week, which seemed to melt down my phone on this topic. The volatility will rise, and it really looks like a serious decision must be made to save Ukraine by allowing a peace deal or sending every Ukrainian to their death. I am concerned that may be a tall order given the Neocons foaming at the mouth to launch World War III. Clearly, things will become highly volatile as we head toward March and Putin’s election. Everyone seems to be calling, wanting to know: What does the computer say now?
Communism failed all by itself. The Neocons were disappointed because they did not get to shoot anybody. The average citizen in America, Europe, Russia, and China wants to live life and enjoy their families. It seems to be the politicians who play with us like pieces on a chess board. We are always the Pawns of Finance and War. The very best a soldier can hope for is to return home intact to a family that is not dead. When Goring was asked how did the Nazis get the people to follow them, his response was on point and truthful.
NATO & Russia Moving Toward War

QUESTION: News from Russia is claiming there will be a major war with NATO. I do not understand if Russia is no longer Communist; what is the real issue that we have to move to World War again?
SV
ANSWER: It’s just time. Having met a Neocon face to face, all I can offer is my opinion. They sought to do what Khrushchev threatened to bring communism to the world, so they claimed they would conquer the world by imposing their version of democracy, which is propaganda. We are NEVER asked if our taxes should be raised or if we want to go to war with Russia and China. Vietnam saw an 18-year-old sent off to die when he was too young to drink or to vote. But that was their version of democracy. No better than the communists, from what I can see. There is no common sense and certainly no logic to try to wage war against Russia and China and claim they would never use nukes, even if they were about to be destroyed. This is just insane.
Everything is always a knee-jerk reaction. The Warsaw Pact was created on May 14, 1955, in response to West Germany joining NATO on May 6th, 1955 – 8 days before. The Democrats impeached Trump twice, and now the Republicans are impeaching Biden. No matter what you look at, when one side does something, it results in the other side responding in the same manner. This never ends.
Neocons for NATO
Posted originally on Dec 18, 2023 By Martin Armstrong
A Donald Trump win would be a complete disaster for the Neocons. He repeatedly stated that withdrawing from the war in Ukraine would be his first priority on day one in office. Trump threatened to leave NATO and was a harsh critic of the organization as he did not see the benefits for the US. Congress cannot take that chance again and has voted to ban any president from withdrawing from NATO.
The measure received bipartisan support and the effort was led by Senator Tim Kaine (D-Va.) and Senator Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) as part of the National Defense Authorization Act. The United States provided $821 million to NATO in its FY 2022 budget. NATO members agreed to spend 2% of their GDP on the alliance back in 2014 when fears of Russian aggression were spreading. Only three other nations adhered to that target, and as of July 2023, only 10 of the then 31 members were meeting their target.
The United States contributes more than any other NATO member. The United States, United Kingdom, and Germany pay for over 40% of NATO’s budget. NATO continually expands, also expanding the threat of war. Everyone knows the rules of Article 5 – if one nation is attacked, all nations must respond. Yet they are strategically growing NATO by welcoming countries that are a hop, skip, and jump away from “unfriendly” nations. This is precisely what the Russian government wanted to prevent, as they felt backed into a corner by NATO aggression.
Many decades ago, Russia wanted to join the alliance under Yeltsin, who worked to defend his country from the old hardline Communists. NATO declined as they needed an enemy as an excuse to maintain their alliance. To the Neocons, Russia will always be the USSR and the Communist enemy along with China. In 1997, the same year Yeltsin was reelected, then-Senator Joe Biden begged NATO to welcome all the Baltic nations. That was two years before Putin came to power, as Russia has always and must always be the enemy.
America has been the world’s war financier since WW2. Congress effectively welded international foreign interests with domestic policy by forcing the nation to back NATO indefinitely. I say indefinitely as Neocons are on both sides of the political arena and would never vote to leave NATO.

Saving the Best for Last Re-Posted Nov 9, 2023 By Martin Armstrong
QUESTION: You said Ukraine never shot down 6 of Russia’s unstoppable hypersonic weapons. Do you think that was all propaganda?
SH
ANSWER: Absolutely. Neither the US nor Russia will commit their most critical weapons to Ukraine. Why? Because it reveals your best car and allows the opposition to gather intelligence to defeat them. Look at the HIMARS rockets that were going to change the game. Russia jammed its guidance systems that rely on GPS. The US would NEVER have given Ukraine our top shelf. That would be like playing poker and showing your hand before the betting begins.
You save the Best for Last
There Will Be No Peace As Long As Zelensky Runs Ukraine Re-Posted Nov 7, 2023 By Martin Armstrong
It is stunning how the Ukrainian people have not looked at how their country has been destroyed and over 500,000 Ukrainian soldiers are dead all for a territorial grab under the propaganda that Zelensky loves to claim he is fighting for their freedom. The Minsk Agreement allowed the Donbas to vote for they are Russian and Ukraine was NEVER prosecuted for its Nazi war crimes against Jews, Polish, Hungarians, and Russians, all because the CIA wanted to use them against Russia.
Recently, General Valerii Zaluzhny, according to the “New York Times” publicly conceded that the war with Russia has reached a standoff and a substantial technological leap would be required to overcome it, although this seems unlikely. Zelensky went nuts. Sources say he had gagged the military and will not allow then to speak the truth. Everything from Ukraine is just propaganda now, celebrating that they are always winning a war that everyone knows is unwinnable.
Ukraine had its freedom. Now, it has a country that has been undermined by this high-heel dancing actor who cares nothing about the Ukrainian people. Zelensky is told what to do by the American Neocons. Both the Ukrainian and Israeli people need to wake up. They are BOTH pawns in the chess game of endless wars instigated behind the curtain by the Neocons. Both need to honestly assess what is in their own best interest long-term for future generations. Likewise, sources say that Hamas is NOT all Palestinian. They also have among their ranks zealots from all over the Middle East who are equally willing to use Palestinian civilians for political purposes.
Neocons Pushing War Everywhere Re-Posted Nov 6, 2023 By Martin Armstrong
I have warned that Biden’s Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken, and his #1, Victoria Nuland, are hardline Neocons with their own agenda, which is neither in the best interests of Israel nor the United States. They have control of the Biden Administration amid rising criticism. Blinken, on November 6th, 2023, said a ceasefire in Gaza would allow Hamas to regroup and carry out similar attacks. Blinken has also rejected peace in Ukraine and pushes for war everywhere he can. He is endangering the entire world, which appears to be his agenda.
Even Obama and other Democrats are starting to break with Biden. Biden is NOT in charge. He is too senile to make any rational decisions. He is doing as he is told, and there is nobody putting any checks against the Neocon agenda of engulfing the entire world in war.
Zelensky “Feels Betrayed” By West Re-Posted Nov 3, 2023 By Martin Armstrong
Sorry Zelensky, there is a new, younger war in town and all eyes are on her. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told Time Magazine that he feels “betrayed” by the West since America is now funding two proxy wars. “Zelensky feels betrayed by his Western allies. They have left him without the means to win the war, only the means to survive it,” Time quoted a member of his team as saying.
Zelensky attempted to travel to Washington yet again to ask for another blank check. The entire US government almost shutdown over these blank checks but lawmakers managed to remove an additional $6 billion in aid for Ukraine to avert another crisis. Zelensky could care less about the crippling US national debt or the fact that our own people do not receive aid. He doesn’t care that the US sent more to Ukraine than all of Europe combined because Biden promised unwavering support and funding. The most alarming aspect is that he does not care about the tens of thousands of Ukrainian men who have died fighting this pointless war.
“The scariest thing is that part of the world got used to the war in Ukraine,” Zelensky said, adding, “Exhaustion with the war rolls along like a wave. You see it in the United States, in Europe. And we see that as soon as they start to get a little tired, it becomes like a show to them: ‘I can’t watch this rerun for the 10th time’.”
I for one am exhausted of hearing this former comedian with no geopolitical experience beg for fame and fortune. He knew the deal when he was installed as president. He could easily be replaced with another puppet. Did he actually think the West would show up and defeat Russia to save a nation that they wouldn’t even permit into the EU or NATO? Ukraine was merely the stepping stone for the Neocons to launch their own war with Russia. Now, the Neocons believe they can use the Middle East as their battleground instead. The invisible hand causes everyone to act in their own self-interest, and the West will put their money in that direction.
Ukraine is now the property of BlackRock and JPMorgan, and they may cause more economic hell for Ukraine than Russia ever did. It was always a game, Zelensky – a game Ukraine was destined to lose.
