QUESTION: Is it true that Putin said he wants full restoration of a relationship with the United States?
Rob
ANSWER: Absolutely. Putin understands that the Neocons have full control of NATO and the EU. He is seeking to realign with the United States to prevent war with NATO. Vladimir Putin has explicitly stated that Russia advocates for a full-scale restoration of relations with the United States.
He most recently made this statement on September 3, 2026, during the plenary session of the Eastern Economic Forum (EEF). Speaking about relations with the U.S., Putin said, “We are in favor of restoring full-format relations with the United States.” However, he also noted that this depends not only on Russia but also on the U.S. side.
Putin has framed this desire for restored relations within a broader context, marked by several key points:
I have said from the beginning. Putin is not just the smarest guy at the table, he is the most practical. The warmonger Neocons in the West have REFUSED to accept that communism fell all by itself and they did not get to shoot anybody. When Khrushchev said we will buy you, it was a reflection of the deep belief that Communism would defeat Capitalism. That was the entire motive behind the Cold War.
What the Neocon and NATO have twisted to justify war with Russia is claiming he lamented the fall of the USSR as if he wanted to invade Europe to restore it. This has been all self-serviving and Putin has not shown ant inclination of such a goal and he has been there since 1999. In a 2021 documentary, Putin was more direct in his personal assessment. When asked what the Soviet collapse meant to him, he replied:
“Like for the vast majority of our citizens, it was a tragedy. … We lost 40% of our territory, and roughly the same share of production capacity and population.”
He elaborated on the human cost, noting that the dissolution left “25 million Russian people abroad” and described the ensuing upheaval as “a huge humanitarian tragedy.” This is absolutely correct for the people living in the Donbas are Russia who have been terrorized by Ukrainians who had engaged in ethnic cleansing of Russians and here is Zelensky joking about confiscating assets of Russians in Ukraine.
However, while Putin frequently laments the collapse, he has also made it clear he does NOT wish to restore the Soviet Union. His famous phrase on this is:
“Anyone who doesn’t regret the collapse of the Soviet Union has no heart. But anyone who wants to restore it has no brain.”
Look, Putin enjoyed a popularity greater than 70% BECUSE the people knew he was not a Communist. There was no way the people wanted to return to that system. The tragedy was that under the USSR, Russians moved atound and that is what he was talking about that 25 million were stranded.
According to data from the Estonian Statistical Office as of January 1, 2026, the Russian ethnic group made up 20.3% of the total population of 1,360,745 people. Here is
Kaja Kallas Vice-President of the European Commission and High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy
since December 1st, 2024. She is the former Prime Minister of Estonia (2021-2024). She hates Russians yet 20% of Estonian are ethnic Russians.
Even the Czech Republic, some were proposing confiscating private assets of ethnic Russians. The legal framework for sanctions usually applies to specific individuals or entities directly linked to the conflict, rather than the broader ethnic population. Private property rights are generally constitutionally protected in the Czech Republic, meaning that any action against an individual would require specific legal justification, such as direct involvement in illegal activities. Nevertheless, there were people trying to push that demonstrating the hatred for Russians that consumed Madeleine Albright who convinced NATO to attack Serbs because they were pro-Russia.
The ethnic hatred throughout the Baltics, Balkans, down to Ukraine, is systemic. They blame the current generation for the sins of their fathers and grandfathers. This region has been conquered so many times from Sweden, Turks, Russians and so on, that you have different religions, languages, and ethnicity that is deeply embeded and I seriously doubt that there will ever be a lasting peace in Eastern Europe. There just seems to be too many old memories to ever allow unity.
Volkswagen is a case study in self-destruction as a result of EU ‘climate’ politics and German auto company decision-making. The decision to chase climate policy created European legislation that set quotas, limits and fines on automakers who did not shift to electric vehicles. German automakers then chose to purchase carbon credits from China, who then use those sales to further discount exported EVs into the German market.
Simultaneously, Volkswagen opened up operation in China allowing their technology to be captured by Chinese auto makers who turned around and duplicated the technology at a much lower price. Once the manufacturing was at full speed, China stopped purchasing Volkswagen autos.
The partly state-owned German automaker Volkswagen announced today [SEE HERE] their survival as a company now requires the elimination of 100,000 jobs in Germany with the closure of plants in Emden, Zwickau, Hanover and the Audi site in Neckarsulm. Volkswagen will not be the last German company to suffer this fate as Mercedes is now 20% owned by Chinese EV company Geely.
The German auto workers do not have a choice. They no longer have a solid consumer base for their vehicles, and China continues to export low price EVs into the European market. Every euro in tariffs against Beijing is offset by the euros the auto companies spend purchasing Chinese carbon credits to avoid European fines. They cannot get out of the spiral.
GERMANY – The car company Volkswagen has approved controversial plans to shed 100,000 jobs in a battle for survival as it faces fierce competition from Chinese rivals.
After the latest round of talks this week, the company announced a further 50,000 job cuts and agreed a staggered end to current production at four German plants: Emden, Zwickau, Hanover and the Audi site in Neckarsulm between 2031 to 2034. There are no specific plans beyond that.
The agreement came as a surprise after a meeting of shareholders, unions, and state representatives on the supervisory board in what was seen as a considerable test for the German carmaker’s chief executive, Oliver Blume.
He had gone as far as to arrange an emergency meeting if the package was rejected in preparation for a potential showdown with unions. (more)
In a directly related report, U.S. auto manufacturers are now urging congress to outright ban Chinese cars from the American market. There are a few auto consumers who don’t like this approach, but it is entirely appropriate.
One of the things Europe will find out is that as soon as China has dominated their auto market, those cheap EVs will no longer be cheap. Once Beijing captures the market, they will slowly start to increase the price extracting the maximum profit in the long-term strategy.
China would do this in North America if we do not protect the auto sector. Ultimately, this is why Prime Minister Mark Carney is going to create a serious problem by allowing the import of Chinese EVs and letting them set up a manufacturing base in Canada.
It’s not just about cars. If you lose your auto industry you erode your manufacturing base, your steel and aluminum production, your capacity to retain industrial engineering skills and many other ancillary aspects – including military. The auto industry represents much more than just the production of consumer cars.
Europe, Southeast Asia, Africa and Australian markets have already fallen victim within this geopolitical scheme. Canada is on the cusp of the problem. Readers here are well aware of the scheme {GO DEEP}, and yes, it will take some form of legislative action to protect North America from this problem.
WASHINGTON DC – DETROIT — Major automakers operating in the U.S. are increasing pressure on Congress to permanently ban the domestic sale, import and manufacturing of Chinese connected vehicles, hardware and software.
The Alliance for Automotive Innovation, which represents the vast majority of companies selling vehicles in the U.S., urged congressional leaders in a Thursday letter to make a move before the end of Congress’ current session on Jan. 3.
“Right now, Chinese automakers are dumping subsidized vehicles with connected software and hardware around the world,” John Bozzella, CEO of the group, said in the letter seen by CNBC. “This hasn’t happened inside the U.S. yet, but given the scale and urgency of this threat, we urge you to enact a Chinese vehicle, software and hardware ban before adjourning this year and make this policy the law of the land.”
Midterm elections are also coming up in November, which could affect Congress’ momentum.
Bozzella’s comments come amid bipartisan efforts in the House and Senate to address Chinese vehicles, including legislation advanced by the Senate Commerce Committee that could bar Mercedes-Benz from the U.S. market because Chinese investors hold nearly 20% of the German automaker.
The Alliance for Automotive Innovation, which includes Mercedes-Benz, said in the Thursday letter that it wants to work with lawmakers to “achieve a balanced policy so all our member companies continue to succeed and thrive inside the U.S.” (read more)

It is an unfortunate reality that leaders of Ukraine military, intelligence and security services are more concerned with money, affluence, exotic cars and beachfront villas in Europe than functionally carrying out the duty. Alas, that is the nature of Ukraine and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has very little control over it.
A few days ago, a shootout in the capital between rival powers of the Ukraine Intelligence Service (SBU) and Ukraine Military Intelligence (HUR) broke out bringing increased embarrassment to an already tenuous situation {citation}. Therefore, it does not come as a surprise today when an explosive drone that hit the headquarters of SBU security chief Oleksandr Poklad is argued amid Ukraine rank and file to have originated from within.
However, Ukraine President Zelenskyy is quick to point fingers at Russia for the drone that flew in the window of SBU Chief Poklad. I mean, what else could Zelenskyy say and still retain some semblance of face-saving toward the NATO alliance he is dependent on.
Up to this point, Russia has never targeted a specific Ukraine leader for assassination; Zelenskyy’s constant visibility is seemingly confirmation of this lack of interest. But Zelenskyy is certain that Russia tried to kill Oleksandr Poklad. Go figure.
UKRAINE – A Russian drone has hit the headquarters of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) during a strike in the heart of Kyiv, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said.
The unmanned aerial vehicle crashed into the SBU headquarters on Friday afternoon, targeting a room used by security chief Oleksandr Poklad. It is not clear whether Poklad was in the building, but Zelensky said he had since spoken to him to order an “appropriate, tangible response”.
“The drone was aimed directly at the office of the Head of the Security Service in that building,” Zelensky confirmed. It suggests Russia’s new drones are growing in accuracy and signals Moscow could step up strikes before possible US mediation talks this weekend.
“All emergency services are on the scene. Everyone affected will receive the necessary assistance,” Zelensky added in a message on Telegram.
“I instructed Poklad to deliver an appropriate, tangible response and, where possible, one that mirrors this strike, to the Russians once everything is ready. Our military will support this response.” (read more)
It’s worth noting that when allied media favorable to Zelenskyy (like the BBC) start using terms like “Zelenskyy says” in their headlines, as opposed to direct assertions from their own belief, the indications are that even the BBC doesn’t want to carry that much unsubstantiated water.
SSU Head Oleksandr Poklad reported on preparations for our active response to the Russian strikes. The geography of our response has been determined. The timing will be chosen to ensure results. Glory to Ukraine! ~ Zelenskyy
In related news the horse-toothed President of Finland, Alexander Stubb has been positioning himself as the ‘trusted voice’ within Europe who can negotiate a sensible peace between Ukraine and Russia. Stubb has higher aspirations to lead NATO, so the self-interest to raise his profile amid the collective might actually result in some benefit.
President Horse Teeth does speak with pragmatic tones that may be able to navigate away from an EU-NATO war with Russia. However, Canadian Banker/Prime Minister Mark Carney, who is not European despite his professed curriculum vitae, could become jealous and mess up the politically pragmatic approach.
[…] Asked about the warning from the Ministry of Defense and the Bundeswehr that Putin could be able to attack NATO territory by 2029, Stubb said: “If someone had such a crystal ball – wonderful. But I just don’t see any evidence or facts for it.” He “does not believe that Russia would ever want to attack the most powerful military alliance in the world, NATO.” He explained his philosophy as follows: “I’m not saying, ‘Relax.’ You should always prepare for the worst to prevent it.”
[…] Despite the economic and military problems in Russia, Alexander Stubb does not assume that Vladimir Putin will give up. “I don’t think Russia will end this war because of an economic downturn,” the Finn said. “One should never underestimate how much economic hardship the Russians can endure.” Neither inflation, nor the banking crisis or the interest rate level would end the war – nor would the high losses of Russian soldiers.
[…] Asked about the attempted drone attacks at Leipzig/Halle Airport, Alexander Stubb called for a level-headed reaction: “I think it is very important to keep a cool head when it comes to such things.” In this way, Germany could publicly declare that it knows who is behind it and send Russia a message at the diplomatic level.
[…] Stubb expressly welcomed CIA chief John Ratcliffe’s visit to Moscow, which was as surprising as it was mysterious: “I think it’s good. Really. I believe that there must be a dialogue.” It is also true that Americans and Russians are in contact “in different formats”. “I hope that the American military is also in dialogue with the Russian military.”
[…] Stubb demands: “I believe that someone in Europe (…) must resume dialogue with Russia to understand what is going on there. We have to talk to each other at the political level.” His “great concern with this current silence towards Russia is that illusions are emerging there” about what is happening in Europe. In other words, Moscow could accept the emergence of new threats that do not exist in reality. (source – Translated)
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has an economic mess on his hands and an election this Sunday that is shaping up to be a big slap in his face. Merz’s pontifications about a looming military conflict against Russia are akin to Canadian Prime Minister Carney shouting ‘Trump won’t let us speak French’ to firm up his own electoral elements.
Bottom line: I hope President Trump invites Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin to the G20 in Miami this year. It would be refreshing if President Trump, Chairman Xi, Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salmon and President Putin could enjoy an al fresco moment; while Prime Minister Carney and the Euroweanie collective discuss how to avoid another one of those dangerous gifts from President Erdogan.

During an Oval Office event to support allowing ranchers to process their own beef production across state lines, President Trump took questions from the assembled press pool on current events. The questions begin at 25:25 of the video below:

Judge William Sullivan declared a mistrial after the 12-member jury could not reach a unanimous verdict in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy.
The defense counsel of Ms Clancy violated every form of judicial ethics in his effort to expose and pressure the one male juror who refused to accept a not guilty verdict and stood his ground. We should not know the identity of the jurors; however, the female foreperson worked with defense lawyer Kevin Reddington to assemble pressure against the juror who would not acquit Clancy.
What took place in this Massachusetts courtroom and jury deliberation undermines the foundation of the system of trial by jury. During actual deliberations defense counsel was openly pressuring Judge Sullivan to remove the juror who would not change his position. A mistrial had to be declared, and Attorney Reddington then went outside and publicly called for retaliation against the male juror who would not accept the position of the female jurors. This is quite remarkable.
Massachusetts – After seven days of deliberation, the judge in Lindsay Clancy’s murder trial declared a mistrial because the jury was unable to reach a unanimous verdict, with one juror refusing to join the eleven others.
Defense attorney Kevin Reddington asked Judge William Sullivan to remove the holdout juror, but Sullivan refused. However, Sullivan granted Reddington an hour to request an emergency stay from a higher court on the mistrial declaration. This would delay the start of a new trial.
Clancy’s case will likely be re-tried with a new jury; until then, she will remain in a psychiatric facility in northeastern Massachusetts. (more)
By the time you have read this, toxic female leftists will likely have publicly identified the name of the lone juror, and soon thereafter the rage of the American pussy hat crowd will organize to destroy the male juror. Jury secrecy and sanctity violations this extreme are horrific and destabilizing to the entire judicial system.

National Economic Council (NEC) Director Kevin Hassett appears on CNBC to discuss the exceptionally good August jobs report from the Bureau of Labor and Statistics. Hassett notes that capital expenditures and investments into U.S. manufacturing industries and companies building for growth has begun to show up in the jobs numbers.
Companies are building out infrastructure and plants. Those plants under construction will continue to lead a jobs boom. The growth in jobs is in the private sector, while the Trump administration continues to downsize the federal workforce. MAGAnomics at work strengthening our American economy, while the onshoring of industry and reindustrialization efforts continues. WATCH:
While our U.S. economy is growing, the European economy is shrinking. When you think about Canada, the U.K and EU-NATO allies all positioning themselves for expanded war against Russia, the strength of the U.S. economy becomes even more important.
Canada, the U.K and the EU-NATO alliance all want war against Russia. President Trump does not. Many voices inside Washington DC, stand with the Canadian/U.K./EU-NATO mindset and also want that conflict. President Trump does not.
If you have reviewed my prior research on the banking side of this looming war dynamic, almost entirely driven by politics, then you can appreciate just how tenuous this moment in our history is. There are trillions at stake, and some are willing to do anything in order to retain control.
An otherwise ordinary voice on X said something I suspect is largely accurate.
“My hunch is WWIII is the Cabal’s last ditch effort to keep Trump’s Sovereign Nations Juggernaut from destroying their Globalist One World Government Plans. I can not see the future, and am not a prophet, but….. I try to learn the lessons of history…. The Globalists are being increasing cornered and will resort to worldwide violence before surrender. In the fog of war they seek to hide their real intentions. It has always been thus. Choreographed Hegelian Dialectics. And behind it all is the Great Red Dragon of Revelation…. Lucifer.
1Pe 5:8 Be sober! Be vigilant! For your adversary the devil is prowling about as a roaring lion, seeking anyone he may devour.”
Live your very best life filled with thankfulness, personal honor and respect. Guard your mind from dark imaginings but accept the conflict that destabilizes is driven by dark elements and whispers that feed on fear. Do not be afraid; be steadfast and righteous in your prayer.
