QUESTION: Marty, you have said it. This is the worst crop of leaders in Europe in all history. Now they are pushing for WWIII ASAP. They are calling for a no-fly zone over Ukraine. They have been saying that since they can protect Israel and shoot down Iranian missiles and drones, the West should do the same in Ukraine. Given your last blog’s focus on the stock market, gold, and the dollar’s rise, it seems to be pointing to war. Do you see this coming to a head by November?

ANSWER: This is not looking good at all. I cannot confirm rumors that they captured several Russian drones and sent them over Poland to justify a false flag. I would not put it past them. They need the false flag to get the people to sign up for war. People will not volunteer to invade Russia to save Ukraine. This is the typical “rally around the flag” strategy.

They claim that the recent Russian drone attacks on Poland not only demonstrate that Vladimir Putin is trying to see how far he can push NATO. He already knows that NATO is clamoring to start WWIII. This can be easily stopped within 24 hours. Order Zelensky to honor the Minsk Agreement, which all of Europe signed, and this war will be over in 15 minutes. I am concerned that tensions are on track to escalate from September into November 2026.

I am pushing as hard as I can. President Trump has dismissed Zelensky’s latest appeals for advanced weaponry, including long-range missiles and air-defence systems, suggesting that Ukraine has been ill-advised. We have to keep the USA out of this European nightmare. They need war because the EU is crumbling. The choice is stark: either war as a diversionary tactic from the sovereign debt crisis, or the people will be storming their parliaments with pitchforks when they realize the Eurozone is collapsing economically.

I strongly disagree with Trump on sanctions and his latest theory, which is always a favorite among neocons. He said if all NATO countries refused to buy oil from Russia, the conflict could be put to a stop. He also suggested placing tariffs on China of 50% to 100% for its purchases of Russian petroleum. He suspects it “will break that grip” between the two countries, which have a strong alliance. Screwing with the economies of China and Russia rather than demanding the Minsk Agreement be honored will only PERMANENTLY create a hostile world. What planet he is on, I do not know.

There is absolutely no way that even China is prepared to see Russia lose in this conflict. You will have Russian Neocons seize power, and then you will have WWIII. Stop the bullshit and look long-term. We started this damn war – fess up to the facts and the timeline. You might as well make Victoria Nuland Secretary of State with supreme power to push the button.

I have heard the stupid argument that we were happy to shoot down Iranian drones and missiles aimed at civilian targets in Israel, but not in Ukraine. Iran was not capable of creating World War III. Russia and China are. I have never seen such stupidity on the geopolitical front in the 50 years I have been doing this. Thank God I am not 18. It’s hard enough dealing with this for just a few more years, let alone another 50.

This reminds me of Frank Sinatra’s Send in the Clowns. Don’t bother – they are here.
