QUESTION: Do you think there is any chance of peace with Russia?

ANSWER: Europe and NATO are the aggressors – not Putin. Zelensky is meeting with Trump today. Trump has to realize who his real opponents are. Peace with Russia is easy if you do what is right. Putin warned Zelensky that the Minsk Agreement was the key. Zelensky has been taking his orders from NATO, NEOCONS, and never from his own people. I had two employees there, and I can say many people questioned if he was even legitimately elected. We have witnessed what the EU and NATO did in Romania. Do you really think they were hands-off in Ukraine? There would have BEEN NO WAR if the EU, NATO, and Neocons had not lied and honored the Minisk Agreement.
You cannot defeat Putin and think that is somehow the answer. When Khrushchev had to back down after the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, a coup occurred, and Brezhnev took power, deepening the Cold War.
Then there was a proposal that Russia join NATO when the USSR collapsed. Just as our Neocons in the CIA killed JFK to keep war on the table and rejected his peace initiatives, the Russian Neocons staged coup #2 and overthrew Gorbachev. That is when Yeltsin stood on the tank and pleaded with the military not to fire on their own people. The military stood down, and the coup collapsed. Anyone who thinks they can beat Putin and force him out of Ukraine is not just a fool; they are a dangerous asshole. You will get coup #3, and this time you will get the Russian Neocons in full power. Just imagine if John McCain had become president with Lindsey Grachm as his VP. You would probably be dead by now.
The Road to Peace is undoubtedly attainable. Putin wants peace – not war. I was in the middle of all of that shit. The Neocons have hated Putin because their blackmail of Yeltsin failed, and he realized he was caught between our Neocons with the Oligarchs and the hardline Communist Neocons who hate the West, just as Lindsey Grachm and McCain hated Russians. We are plagued by old hatreds that one generation refuses to surrender on both sides.
In this meeting today, I would strip Zelensky of his arrogant, greedy power. My ultimatum would be simple.
(1) You will honor the Minsk Agreement and allow the people of the Donbas to vote on their human right to remain as part of Ukraine, which hates their very existence.
(2) If Zelensky refuses, I will impose sanctions on Ukraine, and no American company will be allowed to invest in Ukraine to cut off his trillion-dollar rebuild.
(3) If NATO or the EU refuses to honor the very agreement that they signed, the US will withdraw from NATO.
(4) We cut a deal with Russia, allowing American companies to enter joint ventures in Russia to exploit the rare earths and resources.
(5) All sanctions of Russia are to be lifted, including the Magnitsky Act, with the sole exception of sanctions that were against individual spies.
(6) Agree to do a joint venture in Antarctica for natural resources.
My sources have reported that Putin publicly proposed collaboration across trade, digital, high-tech, and space exploration. I believe that Putin would entertain joint projects in the Arctic and in Alaska, offering Russian ownership of specialized technologies and reserves in minerals and energy. Sources have long suggested that Russia possesses technologies that no one else possesses, which could interest U.S. partners.
I believe that Trump had floated the idea of Russian investment in Alaskan oil and joint exploration of rare earth minerals, and the Russian side presumably saw this as a potential area of cooperation. Beyond pure economics, a trade arrangement with Russia will force NATO and the EU to heel once American companies are operating inside Russia. Such a trade proposal would serve as a means to break Russia’s isolation, demonstrating that the NATO narrative of Russia wanting to take Europe is nonsense. This would be a carrot to U.S. businesses.
U.S. President Richard Nixon visited Beijing, China, from February 21 to February 28, 1972 (1972.142). This historic trip — often called “the week that changed the world” — marked the first visit by a U.S. president to the People’s Republic of China since its founding in 1949. It was a significant step toward normalizing relations between the U.S. and China during the Cold War and included Nixon’s famous meetings with Chairman Mao Zedong and Premier Zhou Enlai. It was strangely 51.6 years from that historic meeting that led our stupid Neocons in the Biden Administration to impose sanctions on Russia and withdraw them from SWIFT, which led to the establishment of BRICS. Iranically, we REVERSED all the effort to create peace in 1972.
