Orban Says Europe Cannot Defeat Russia Without America


Posted originally on Nov 25, 2024 by Martin Armstrong

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban believes “peace will be within reach” once Donald Trump in inaugurated in January, adding that the Ukraine-Russia war has “entered its most dangerous phase.” In an admittance likely to anger Brussels once more, Orban said that Europe has no chance of defeating Russia without the help of the United States.

Orban is concerned about Hungarians living in Transcarpathia, Russia, and has long called for a peace treaty between Ukraine and Russia. You may recall that Orban personally met with Vladamir Putin months ago, placing him at odds with Brussels indefinitely as the EU’s position is to continue the war by any means necessary.

“If America backs out from behind Ukraine, then Europe is not in a strong enough military position to support Ukraine with even the slightest chance of success,” Orban admitted. He stated that the Hungarian defense council examined scenarios on what would happen if America pulled out of the war but none of them made sense.

Orban is worried about what Joe Biden may say in the months leading up to Trump’s inauguration, adding that every sentence must be carefully thought out over the next two months and “common sense must prevail, otherwise there will be trouble. Contrary, he warned that leaders must listen to what Putin is saying as in Russia “if the president says something, it is not just babble.”

“The war must end in order for us to achieve our goals, because each and every one of the problems of the Hungarian economy stems from the war,” the prime minister said. It all comes down to finances. This war does not benefit the people of Europe in any shape or form. For now, Orban is calling upon Biden not to escalate any “war-approving steps.”

Orban also noted that he will be inviting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Hungary and criticized the ICC for declaring him a war criminal. This man does not consult with Brussels before arranging critical meetings. He has not adopted the centralized European mentality that Brussels expects member states to share. The unelected officials controlling the EU seemingly cannot control Orban or others who are increasingly defying demands.

Incoming National Security Advisor Mike Waltz Outlines His Priorities for Trump Administration


Posted originally on the CTH on November 24, 2024 | Sundance 

There are a lot of interesting discussions and interviews amid the political chatter today.  It’s often difficult to filter which ones actually matter in the big picture.  This is one of those interviews’ worth watching.

Incoming National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, brother-in-law to nominated U.S. Surgeon General Janette Nesheiwat and husband to former DNI policy chief Julia Nesheiwat, appears on Fox News to discuss his priorities for the national security system under President Donald Trump.

Within the interview Waltz makes sure the collective NATO “west” get the unity message about U.S-Ukraine policy: “Jake Sullivan and I have had discussions, we’ve met,” Waltz says in the interview. “For our adversaries out there that think this is a time of opportunity, that they can play one administration off the other — they are wrong. We are hand in glove. We are one team with the United States in this transition.”  WATCH:

Mike Waltz is married to Julia Nesheiwat, the sister of Surgeon General nominee Janette Nesheiwat.

Julia, who -like all other people who work in DC silos- has never taken a married name.  Julia Nesheiwat was born in Carmel, New York, in 1975 to Jordanian Christian immigrants and raised in Umatilla, Florida. She has a BA from Stetson University, an MA from Georgetown, and a PhD from Tokyo Tech.

Julia Nesheiwat became a military intelligence officer. She received the Bronze Star Medal during Operation Enduring Freedom in Iraq. She departed the military as captain.  Julia Nesheiwat served in several U.S. administrations. Under George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump, she held senior national security and economic policy positions. Her most notable role was as Trump’s 10th Homeland Security Advisor from 2020 to 2021. Her Bush administration posts included State Department seniority and Office of the Director of National Intelligence Policy Chief.

Suffice to say their bedroom conversations are likely Intel Community shop talk.

While it’s interesting that Congressman Mike Waltz was selected to be President Trump’s National Security Advisor, it’s actually Julia Nesheiwat that carries the curriculum vitae that seemingly qualifies her for the job.  This will be an interesting dynamic to watch unfold.

There is no such thing as mis-dis-mal-information, there is only ‘information‘.  However, the background information can often assist in giving context to the events that unfold in/around the DC silo system.

Potential Peacemaker – Reuters: President Trump Considering Ric Grenell for Special Envoy to Ukraine


Posted originally on the CTH on November 24, 2024 | Sundance 

There’s no comment or confirmation from President Trump, so take things with the proverbial grain of salt, however, what Reuters is reporting here does make a lot of sense.

According to Reuters ‘exclusive’ reporting, President Trump is considering former Acting DNI, former Ambassador to Germany, and former peace negotiator for Serbia/Kosovo, Ric Grenell for the position of Special Envoy to Ukraine. This would position Ric Grenell as the peacemaker in the center of something that is very strategically important to President Trump and the world.

Many people have wondered why we have not heard the name Ric Grenell before for any other position. If the report is accurate, this could indeed explain the void. Remember, Marco Rubio is nominated for State Dept, but Trump appears to be putting guardrails against the neocon tendencies of the Florida Senator and junior McCain.

President Trump has removed the mid-east from Rubio’s portfolio with the appointment of Steven C. Witkoff to be Special Envoy to the Middle East. That appointment stops Secretary Rubio from blocking a restart of the peace process via the Abraham Accords. If President Trump wanted to smartly keep Rubio out of the Ukraine dynamic, appointing Ric Grenell would be a solid option.

WASHINGTON, Nov 22 (Reuters) – President-elect Donald Trump is considering tapping Richard Grenell, his former intelligence chief, to be a special envoy for the Russia-Ukraine conflict, according to four sources familiar with the transition plans.

Grenell, who served as Trump’s ambassador to Germany and was acting director of national intelligence during Trump’s 2017-2021 term, would play a key role in Trump’s efforts to halt the war if he is ultimately selected for the post.

While there is currently no special envoy dedicated solely to resolving the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Trump is considering creating the role, according to the four sources, who requested anonymity to discuss internal deliberations.

Trump could ultimately decide not to create a special envoy for the conflict in Ukraine, although he is strongly considering doing so, the sources said. If he does, he could ultimately select someone else for the role, and there is no guarantee Grenell would accept.

[…] During a Bloomberg roundtable in July, [Grenell] advocated for the creation of “autonomous zones” as a means of settling the conflict, which began after Russia invaded Ukrainian sovereign territory. He also suggested he would not be in favor of Ukraine joining the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in the immediate future, a position he shares with many Trump allies. (read more)

This would be a good opportunity for Grenell and come with very high worldwide visibility. A major-league powerful and important job, that would put Grenell at the center of the geopolitical universe for the first year of the Trump administration. President Trump does appear to trust Ric Grenell, and the trust aspect in the relationship would be extremely important.

All in all, while it is only a rumor right now, the Reuters story does make a lot of sense.

Personally, if true, I think it is a great idea.

German Industrialists Very Worried About Trump’s Return – German Economists Say ‘Relax, We’ll Just Devalue the Euro’


Posted originally on the CTH on November 24, 2024 | Sundance 

Germany is the largest economy in the E.U. However, due to a confluence of horrible events, most of them self-created as an outcome of ridiculous energy production decisions, the German industrial economy has been contracting since 2022.

Into this downward spiral of negative economic events within Germany, now comes the problem of President Trump eager to eliminate the Marshal Plan of one-way tariffs and start dealing with the trade inequities.  The German industrial manufacturing companies who make up the majority of the economic output are concerned, very concerned.

Within the discussion suddenly something appears that all Western financial pundits have yet to accept. Leo Barincou, a senior economist at Oxford Economics in Paris says:

[…] limited tariffs on selected products, such as cars, chemicals and agricultural products, may not be too much of a problem, Barincou says. A rising dollar, and hence a falling value of the euro, would offset some of the harm caused by the tariffs. “At a macro level, the impact would be limited,” he says. (read more)

Yep, here we go again.

We saw this play out in 2017 through 2019.  China first responded to tariffs by subsidizing their targeted industries and later devaluing their currency.  We began importing deflation because Chinese products arrived with lower, subsidized, prices, and we paid for them with higher value dollars.

The downside for the rest of the world was China pulling back from purchases of large industrial products from Europe.  This made the EU furious at Trump, and subsequently the EU central banks lowered the euro as an offset.  For Americans we started importing deflation from Asia and Europe.  Everything was arriving at a lower price and being paid using higher value dollars.

I find it a little humorous that Germany openly admits they will offset Trump tariffs, devalue their currency, and ship goods without tax impacts.  Meanwhile the gaslighting U.S. financial pundits will keep pretending this is not happening.

The names have changed, but the cause & effect outcomes remain the same.

President Trump’s Attorney, John Lauro, Speaks in Support of Pam Bondi for U.S. Attorney General


Posted originally on the CTH on November 23, 2024 | Sundance 

Julie Kelly shares the following from her Twitter account:

I just spoke with John Lauro, President Trump’s attorney in the J6 case in Washington, about the nomination of Pam Bondi as the next attorney general.

“Pam is a dear friend of 35 years. She is a friend and a colleague–we grew up together in the law.

I can’t think of a better nominee for the country on every level than Pam. There is no one more honest and who cares about the rule of law more than she does. She is a true patriot and does not have a political agenda. She has core integrity that makes her one of the best attorney general nominees ever.

No other lawyer in the United States has the president’s confidence more than Pam. She cares deeply about the president and the president’s agenda. Pam will do everything lawfully to carry out that agenda.

The president trusts her legal judgement completely and totally. Pam has the president’s complete trust. And she will do what’s best for the country.

Her legal capability is first rate–she will always do the right thing and tell the president the right thing.

Most importantly to me, she will anticipate when people are coming after the president and any hoaxes to undermine him. And we know it’s coming, they are coming after him at full speed ahead.

Pam is smart enough and savvy enough to see through this. She will make sure his back is protected. I can sense the president felt a great deal of disappointment in the prior AGs because that level of trust was lacking. They hurt the president and hurt the administration.

There is no doubt in my mind that the “justice” in the Department of Justice must be restored. The department has been used as a political weapon by the Biden administration in a way we’ve never seen before in an attack on the Constitution and our core values.

Pam will reform the department not by blowing up the DOJ but by doing it in a responsible way by changing the culture in the department.

She will hire people who are not ideologues but hire good people who care about the rule of law and Constitution.” (read more)

Having spent two-years fighting the lies that Pam Bondi facilitated on behalf of her friend, Benjamin Crump; and knowing that Pam Bondi did appear in court in an attempt to stop the defense attorneys for George Zimmerman from questioning the construction of false witness #8 manufactured by Benjamin Crump; and with full acceptance that Pam Bondi did intentionally, willfully and with specific intent attempt to use the power of her office to assist in the malicious and wrongful prosecution of a transparently innocent man, I shall speak no more about the matter.  {CITATION HERE}

That said, let it be known, that if any innocent person is ever the target of a weaponized power of local, state or federal prosecution, I will not hesitate to rise steadfast in their defense in each and every situation.

With love to all,
