British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is willing to send young Brits to die in the war against Russia. Readers on this blog realize that this is a war AGAINST RUSSIA with nearly the entirety of the West backing Moscow into a corner. Brits said loud and clear that they did not want to be part of the European Union or a one Europe government, but now they must die to protect the continent from a nonexistent threat.
“I feel very deeply the responsibility that comes with potentially putting British servicemen and women in harm’s way. But any role in helping to guarantee Ukraine’s security is helping to guarantee the security of our continent and the security of this country,” Starmer said in an op-ed for Telegraph.
Merely arranging peace discussions has been a nightmare. Zelensky said he would not accept the outcome if he was not present. Europe wants to be present, but Russia would NEVER trust any EU nation to negotiate a peace deal after it was deceived through the fake Minsk Agreements. Putin does not see Zelensky as the legitimate leader of Ukraine since he has prevented the people from holding an election. Everything is an utter disaster, but numerous world leaders believe they need to send troops to Ukraine to help preserve “peace.”
Starmer said he is prepared to spend $4 billion to protect Ukraine in the next five years into 2030. “But it also means being ready and willing to contribute to security guarantees to Ukraine by putting our own troops on the ground if necessary,” Starmer went on to say.
French President Emmanuel Macron has been eager to send troops off to Ukraine, as has Germany, Estonia, and Lithuania. NATO member nations are ready for the REAL war to begin. They will have their troops or “peacekeepers” positioned when the time is right to strike. NATO has no grounds to invade Russia, nor does it have the backing of NATO’s piggy bank, the United States. Hence why European leaders want to send their men and women to the battlefield before any such “peace” talks can begin.

QUESTION: Mr. ARmstrong, You have warned that your model will reach another turning point on May 15th. You have also said that Trump has no time for Zelensky or European leaders who want war. Is there anything you can elaborate on at this time? Have you advised that Europe and Zelensky should be excluded from any negotiations? I have been told by a nephew who works in the office of the president ————— that your reports are printed out and read.
PVB
ANSWER: Just because someone reads my reports does not mean they agree. I subscribe to the NYT, Washington Post, and even the Economist because I need to know what the opposition says. If the heads of Europe agreed with what I said, they would stop their BS. That is not the case. I am just the hated enemy. Many government officials take our reports and even attend our World Economic Conferences. Again, that does not mean they do as we would advise. Some I speak with seem to keep asking if somehow I changed my mind when the forecasts are NOT my personal opinion.
Vance’s speech at the Munich Security Conference called Europe out for what it is. It is now out in the open that they rigged the Romanian elections and dare to claim they will do the same if the AfD wins. What is taking place from sources in Germany is that the AfD is now seen as not some conspiracy theory but legitimate after Vance’s speech. Looking closely, you will see that Vance did not receive any respect. You will see the military leaders there, and nobody applauded. They want war. My sources in Germany say that commentators are already saying that F the USA and Europe now have to send in troops to Ukraine, and other sources are stating that there is serious consideration of forming a European army for war with Russia. Zelensky is on the edge of his dream to invade and destroy every Russian on the face of the earth. Our May 15th target may involve this breach with the USA, and Europe is already saying they will not follow whatever Trump does.
My sources in Europe are saying that they now MUST send an army into Ukraine and call them “Peace Keepers,” but this will be the start of World War III. Zelensky is outright saying that the USA has no business interfering in European affairs.
Let’s be honest here—the Minsk 2 Accords were negotiated by Germany and France back in 2015. Merkel publicly stated that they NEVER intended to honor those agreements. Europe has been discredited and has lost any authority to sit at any table to deal with Russia. Why should they be trusted after what they pulled off to start this war? Only Trump has the authority to negotiate. Zelensky is a worthless puppet who does NOT represent the Ukrainian people and should be dragged out of his office as a traitor to his own people and put on trial as a war criminal.
I spoke directly with RFK, and he even asked me how to solve the Ukraine War. He did not like what I said that the Blinkin, Garland, and Victoria Nuland all were Jewish and had roots in that region, and all three claimed that their families were persecuted by Russians. He felt that statement was anti-Semitic, which was something people had accused him of, along with everything else. Not only have I had many Jewish friends and staff over the years, but I even had two Jewish uncles, one on each side of my father and mother, and I have some Jewish cousins. I did feel that position was unwarranted. My point was how did three people, regardless if they were Jewish or not, weasel their way into the Biden Administration that has personal grievances with Russia? They should not have been there in the first place. Because of that, I no longer speak with RFK, Jr., but I know where he stands morally in the war.
Europe’s bad faith in the Minsk Agreement negotiations has morally disqualified it from any negotiating table. Putin even tried to explain to Zelensky when he came to power the importance of the Minsk Agreement. This pretend leader of Ukraine, who sold his country out for a handful of silver, knew what was on the table and refused to honor that accord. Why should Zelensky be allowed to even clean the dishes at such a meeting? If I were Putin, I would not agree to attend any negotiation if it were with Europe or Zelensky. They take their propaganda orders from the Neocons running Europe via NATO.
The Estonian politician Kaja Kallas, who is now the Vice-President of the European Commission and the High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, who assumed office on December 1st, 2024, has outright stated that Ukraine will resist any peace deal. Europe will turn its back on the United States. Kallas is just another European who wants to conquer Russia and listens to NATO that they can conquer Russia in less than a week. If Russia is weak, then why negotiate peace?
Europe will be destroyed this time, and the Neocons are pulling the strings of the European leaders. The press still loves to quote Victoria Nuland’s sister-in-law, the Institute for the Study of War, which should be the Neocon Club for the Promotion of War, always promoting Russia is weak and will not honor any peace deal, so let’s invade and carve up all the $75 trillion in assets.
I have warned that our computer has projected that Ukraine will no longer exist. I have never seen our computer go flat-line in a country as it has in Ukraine. Zelensky is scheming to expand the war. He is a NeoNazi and hid his Jewish background until AFTER he became president.
Because of the seriousness of Europe turning its back on the USA at the instigation of the Neocons and NATO, I will do a special report on this break of the alliance between the USA and Europe that the Neocons and NATO are festering. All I can say is I pray that Trump keeps our troops the hell out of Europe and lets them fend for themselves since they do not want peace. EXIT NATO now and stop ALL funding of Ukraine NOW! Zelensky is destroying not just Ukraine but is pushing Europe into self-destruction.
The EU is making its decision right now, which looks terrible. The European Union is collapsing, and to deflect the fiscal mismanagement and coming Sovereign Debt Crisis, it needs World War III. The EU is already scheming to start a war with Russia and reject any peace deal Trump strikes. Zelensky is telling Europe to F the USA, and Trump has no business interfering in Europe or Ukraine. I previously warned Zelensky is the equivalent of the anti-Christ here to destroy all of Europe and start World War III.

Zanny Minton Beddoes, Editor-in-chief at the Economist began her rant: “Well, the world changed yesterday.” The anti-Americanism is percolating to a boil. She continued: “Ukraine’s future, European security and transatlantic relations were all thrown into the air by a torrent of announcements and attacks from the new administration.”
This refusal by Europe to seek peace has given new meaning to our computer, which has been warning about war and has projected a Panic Cycle in the Euro for 2026. Smart money is moving out of Europe, and that even amounts to the gold supply in London moving to New York, strangely as it did for World Wars I and II. This old hatred of Russia and their thirst to conquer it for its wealth linger and seem unrelenting.
I cannot express the conversations I have had, and it certainly appears that the entrenched anti-democratic political establishment denies the European people even to vote for who is the head of Europe or any of these people making decisions that are all pointing to war. Kaja Kallas, who is now the Vice-President of the European Commission and the High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, is NOT elected by the European people yet has pronounced that any peace deal Trump hammer out with Putin will be ignored by the EU. Does anyone ask the European people if they want to go to war with Russia and risk their way of life, all for a territorial grab by Ukraine?
Zanny Minton Beddoes continued: “J.D. Vance , used his Munich address to deliver a blistering critique of European democracy, excoriating what he saw as unwarranted constraints on free speech, the failure to address mass migration and misguided attempts to marginalise populist parties. In effect, he backed the far-right Alternative for Deutschland, a week before the German election. I was sitting in the hall watching him speak, and the shock was astonishing. “Putin could have given that speech,” someone near me pointed out.”
She added: this“Trump quake may be the catalyst Europe needs to take greater responsibility for its own security. That security requires a credibly defended and Westward-focused Ukraine. And it means much more investment in defence. Even in Munich everyone understood spending needed to rise a lot, and fast. “We got the message,” said Germany’s president, Frank-Walter Steinmeier.”
When FDR went to Boston and wanted to send troops to Europe, the people said no way! In Boston, they said that he expected the Irish to go defend the English after what they did to Ireland. Congress rejected a Declaration of War. It took FDR scheming to provoke Japan to attack Pearl Harbor, and that was the only way to get the US involved in World War II. I fear now that the Neocons control Europe and the European press, they will start this war and then try to invoke Article 5 to force Trump in, but if he stands his ground, I will not put it beyond them to try to assassinate Trump and even Vance to fulfill their dream of World War III.

The ‘leaders’ of Europe got together in Paris, France at the request of French President Emmanuel Macron to discuss how to handle a peace agreement if Putin, Trump and eventually Zelenskyy come to terms. The outcome perfectly encapsulates the EU.
After essentially saying the United States would not send military troops into Ukraine as part of a peacekeeping mission, President Trump sent a communique to each of the leaders, “asking them to spell out what they would be prepared to offer to enforce a peace agreement, as well as what they would expect from the U.S.” However, there was no consensus from the EU meeting.
Instead, the Germans, French, British, Polish and EU leaders from Brussels said they would not send military assistance to Ukraine, without the leadership of the United States, and specifically without U.S. military troops to lead them. {Insert belly laughter here} Of course, they didn’t.
Politico outlines the story of the meeting: […] “A French-led effort by European leaders to present a united front on Ukraine in the face of rising fear over U.S. President Donald Trump’s intentions fizzled Monday as they failed to agree on sending troops to police a possible peace deal.
French President Emmanuel Macron had called the emergency meeting in Brussels after European leaders were left reeling by news the U.S. would start negotiations with Russia to end its war on Ukraine, but without inviting any representatives from Europe or from Ukraine.
But after a 3.5-hour huddle at the Elysée presidential palace, the response of leaders to the biggest security calculus shift in decades was underwhelming. “We realize that such meetings do not end in decisions,” Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said after the meeting.
Leaders came up with no new joint ideas, squabbled over sending troops to Ukraine, and once again mouthed platitudes on aiding Ukraine and boosting defense spending.
“Today in Paris we reaffirmed that Ukraine deserves peace through strength,” said both European Commission President Ursula Von der Leyen and European Council President António Costa.
The core dispute was over whether to send troops to Ukraine if there is an agreement to end the war. U.S. President Donald Trump has ruled out both sending U.S. forces and allowing Ukraine to join NATO, meaning that any effort to prevent Russia from attacking Ukraine again would have to be borne by Europeans.
NOT WITHOUT THE USA – France, whose President Emmanuel Macron first suggested the idea, and the U.K.’s Keir Starmer both support the idea, although Starmer said that could only happen if the United States also participated in any peacekeeping force.
He insisted on the need for a “U.S. backstop” after peace is secured in Ukraine, in order to “deter Russia from attacking Ukraine again.”
But Poland, a frontline state and close ally of Ukraine, with one of the largest militaries in Europe, demurred.
“We do not anticipate sending Polish soldiers to Ukraine,” Tusk said in Warsaw before flying to Paris.
“Poland simply doesn’t have the additional capacity to send troops to Ukraine,” said a senior Polish official who spoke on condition of anonymity, noting the country has long borders with the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad and Russia-allied Belarus, which need to be reinforced with Polish forces. “The French are far away so they can send soldiers to Ukraine; we’re close so we cannot.” (read more)
They have nothing but words, platitudes, meaningless bureaucratic sentence assemblies.
Oh, but he’s a horrible man that Trump, and JD Vance is bad, or something.
Too funny.
I doubt there is anything more completely European, than the leaders of Europe waxing philosophically with their high-minded prose about how the USA needs to provide military troops to support a peace deal that impacts the Europeans.

What a difference one election can make. Secretary Kristi Noem announced a nationwide and international multimillion-dollar ad campaign warning illegal aliens to leave our country now or face deportation with the inability to return to the United States.
The international ads warn criminal illegal aliens not to come to America and break its laws or they will be hunted down and deported. This series of ads will run on radio, broadcast, and digital, in multiple countries and regions in various dialects.
Ads will be hyper-targeted, including through social media, text message and digital to reach illegal immigrants in the interior of the United States, as well as internationally. Here’s the domestic version to play in USA media:
“Thank you, President Donald J. Trump, for securing our border and putting America first. President Trump has a clear message: if you are here illegally, we will find you and deport you. You will never return. But if you leave now, you may have an opportunity to return and enjoy our freedom and live the American Dream,” said Secretary Kristi Noem. “If you are a criminal alien considering entering America illegally: Don’t even think about it. If you come here and break our laws, we will hunt you down. Criminals are not welcome in the United States.”
Here’s the international version that will play in targeted nations:

When Elon Musk asked how Norm Eisen could be financed, I replied, “If the United States govt gave money to Qatar, knowing Qatar was going to send that money to organizations within the USA intended to carry out an objective of a small group in U.S. govt., what would that be called?”
Qatar is a major source of funding for the Brookings Institute. Brookings funds various Lawfare operations, including Norm Eisen. The extended process is quite simple. If elements within the U.S. Govt., wanted to indirectly fund Brookings, could they do it by sending funds to Qatar?
The question is not supposition, because this was the exact process Hillary Clinton and Leon Panetta used for the State Dept to send weapons to the Libyan “rebels,” aka Operation Zero Footprint.
Operation Zero Footprint was the State Dept/CIA sending funds to Qatar, and the Qatari govt then purchasing missiles from the CIA to give to al-Qaeda affiliates in Libya. We can consider the historic Iran-Contra scandal under a similar framework. However, the nuanced difference is about sending money toward a foreign govt (via USAID), while knowing the money would return to fund a domestic agenda inside the USA.
Example: USAID sends money to the U.K, and then British political allies send political operatives into the USA to support Kamala Harris. We know the latter part of that sentence happened. So, did the Biden administration (Samantha Power) fund the Labour Party operation?
Are the various political NGOs and activist groups in the USA actually funded, indirectly, by U.S. taxpayers? Many signs point to, yes.
Against this high likelihood, it becomes just a natural extension of the process if U.S. politicians are beneficiaries of the circular laundry operation. That is what Representative Tim Burchett believes will surface if the DOGE team follow the money trail. WATCH:

Democrats and allied media are pushing a hard narrative that Elon Musk and his DOGE review team may have access to sensitive systems at the IRS, creating what they call “privacy concerns.”
In a letter Monday to IRS Acting Commissioner Douglas O’Donnell the lawmakers wrote that the proposal raises “serious concerns that Elon Musk and his associates are seeking to weaponize government databases containing private bank records and other confidential information to target American citizens and businesses as part of a political agenda.” (source)
The quote (emphasis mine) attributed to Senator Ron Wyden, Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Finance, and Senator Elizabeth Warren, Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs, is more than a little ironic.
DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz testified on April 27, 2023, that more than 3.4 million search queries into the NSA database took place between Dec. 1st, 2020, and Nov. 30th, 2021, by government officials and/or contractors working on behalf of the federal government.
Within that data set, approximately 30% of those 3.4 million search queries were outside the rules and regulations that govern warrantless searches, what the politically correct government calls “non-compliant searches.”
That means more than 1 million searches of private documents and communication of Americans were illegal. IG Horowitz also admitted that somewhere north of 10,000 federal employees have workstation access to conduct these searches of the NSA database; a database which contains the electronic data of every single American, including emails, text messages, social media posts, instant messages, direct messages, phone calls, geolocation identifiers, purchases by electronic funds, banking records and any keystroke any American person puts into any electronic device for any reason. {GO DEEP}
Suddenly, Senators Ron Wyden and Elizabeth Warren are concerned about ‘privacy.’
Earlier today, Elon Musk highlighted millions of people “marked in Social Security as “ALIVE” when they are definitely dead – a HUGE problem.”

With an appeal to the Supreme Court to stop the unconstitutional Lawfare restraining orders, and with support from growing district appellate court reviews, earlier today federal District Judge Tanya Chutkan surprisingly refused to issue another temporary restraining order.
Hours before, President Trump announced his nomination of Ed Martin to be U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia. It appears the Lawfare pushback operation is actively underway.
President Trump – “It is my honor to nominate highly respected Edward R. Martin, Jr., for the full and permanent term of United States Attorney for the District of Columbia.
Ed has led a distinguished career of service, including as Human Rights Office Director for the Catholic Archdiocese of St. Louis, where he supervised legal clinics for low-income residents. He later worked as judicial clerk to Judge Pasco M. Bowman, II, of the Eight Circuit Court of Appeals, and launched his own successful Law practice. He has also invested his expertise in other roles, but always with the same goal, of serving his community, and creating a brighter future for all.
Since Inauguration Day, Ed has been doing a great job as Interim U.S. Attorney, fighting tirelessly to restore Law and Order, and make our Nation’s Capital Safe and Beautiful Again. He will get the job done.
WASHINGTON DC – […] Since serving as the interim U.S. attorney, Mr. Martin has worked to dismantle the office’s investigations into those who participated in the attack on the Capitol. The U.S. Attorney’s Office in the District of Columbia led the probe, charging more than 1,500 people.
Mr. Martin also fired about two dozen prosecutors who oversaw the Jan. 6 investigations. He launched a review of how the U.S. Attorney’s Office used the charge of obstructing an official proceeding against hundreds of pro-Trump protesters.
The U.S. Supreme Court last year ruled that the obstruction charge only applied in the few Jan. 6 cases when the defendant tampered or destroyed documents. The decision severely limited the use of the charge in the Jan. 6 cases and resulted in some convicts receiving reduced sentences and others getting released from jail. (link)
