Trump’s Former Advisors Discuss How He Could End Ukraine War

Posted originally on Oct 30, 2024 By Martin Armstrong

Donald Trump has long stated that he would end the war in Ukraine if elected president. Confident in his ability to do so, the former president has stated he could end the conflict in 24 hours, and has guaranteed to do so before he actually enters the White House. He finally revealed how he intends to accomplish such a feat.

It begins by revisiting the failed Minsk Agreement – the entire premise of the current war. François Hollande and Angela Merkel representing France and Germany at the time brokered the agreement between Russia and Ukraine. The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) monitored negotiations and both sides agreed to an immediate ceasefire. Russia withdrew troops from Ukraine for one primary reason — the Donetsk and Luhansk regions were to be occupied territories that would have the autonomy to vote in their own elections.

These regions were never Ukrainian territory. It was occupied by Russians for centuries. The people there had a right to their own lives. The Ukrainians demanded they no longer speak Russian and they sought to deny them even their own religion and they were to report to Kyiv instead of Moscow. This was like Mexico reclaiming Texas and demanding English was to be outlawed and only Spanish was to be spoken and all religions were to be outlawed except allegiance to the Archbishop of Mexico.

The ethnic Russians in the Donbas did not want to submit to a central government from Kyiv itself. The Obama Administration really opposed this sort of settlement on the grounds of old-world empire theory predicated on the territorial integrity of Ukraine. Such policies have led to the death of hundreds of millions of people over the centuries.

Merkel_Minsk_Buy_Time_to Prepare for wart

Europe brokered the Minsk Agreement as a ploy to buy time. Angela Merkel admitted a few years ago that they negotiated in bad faith with Putin simply to allow Ukraine time to fortify itself thereby buying time to build its army. She also said that at the time, NATO was weak and could not provide support to Kyiv to the extent they do currently. The Minsk agreements were signed to pretend to resolve the Donbas conflict.

WHY would Putin ever agree to any agreement with Ukraine when they NEVER comply with what they agree to. It is now abundantly clear that the Minsk agreements were NEVER intended to be carried out by the current Kyiv government. They were simply used to buy time to build up their forces for war against Russia.

Another stipulation is that Ukraine may never join NATO. Russia has repeatedly stated that it is not battling Ukraine but the NATO alliance that has them cornered. NATO has become the aggressor in this conflict that has grown to such proportions that admitting Ukraine would instantly lead to World War III under Article V that demands all NATO members attack in unison.

Trump’s former advisors have stated that America would have no role in enforcing any peace treaty agreements. This is not our war. “There are two things America will insist on. We will not have any men or women in the enforcement mechanism. We’re not paying for it. Europe is paying for it,” his former advisor added.

A strong leader like Donald Trump who does not align himself with the neocons could possibly persuade Putin, but who will persuade Zelensky? Zelensky’s Victory Plan includes the annihilation of Russia which is precisely what the neocons have been after. Who will convince the allies who have provided trillions in funding to Ukraine? Let’s also remember that the neocons are on both sides of the political spectrum and Trump would have trouble convincing his fellow Republicans to walk away from this war.

I’ve said it numerous times, but one of the most impressive traits Trump displayed to me was empathy. When I went to visit Mar-a-Lago in 2020, Trump said he was tired of calling mothers to tell them that their sons died fighting in the Middle East. It was the first time I heard a politician actually discuss the citizens on the battlefield who are sent off to die in these neocon war games. Trump said that there had been war in the Middle East for most of known modern history and America simply had no place there. Likewise, America has no place in Russia or Ukraine.

Socrates states that Trump could slow down the war cycle, but he cannot prevent the inevitable. It is true that Donald Trump could delay the onset of the growing global conflict BUT he cannot alter the cycle. Our computer shows that war could break out by 2027, and the financial implications will be fully felt by 2028.

Russia Accused of Election Interference in Georgia

Socrates highlighted 2024 as a year for rising geopolitical tensions. Elections everywhere are drenched in conspiracies and fraud accusations. Protests have erupted in Georgia as the governing party has accused Russia of interfering in the election. President Salome Zourabichvili refuses to accept the results and believes the people wanted to side with the pro-West party that aspired to join the European Union.

“We’ve seen that Russian propaganda was directly used,” said Zourabichvili, a fierce critic of Georgian Dream, the governing party. She said the government has been “working hand-in-hand with Russia,” and “probably” received help from Moscow’s security services.

The European Union took it a step further and urged the Georgian authorities to “”swiftly, transparently and independently” investigate “irregularities.” “Those irregularities must be clarified and addressed. That is a necessary step to re-building trust in the electoral process,” the European Commission and High Representative Josep Borrell said in a joint statement, stressing the need for “constructive and inclusive dialogue across the political spectrum.”

Brussels has long has issues with Georgia’s attempts to integrate into the EU because the nation does not hold the same values as Brussels, plain and simple. The EU has been urging Georgia to adopt its same policies on everything from social issues to trade but Georgia is its own nation.

Now, the Georgia Dream secured 54% of the vote. Irakli Kobakhidze of the Georgian Dream party told the BBC’s Steve Rosenberg that irregularities happen in many elections but he firmly believes the outcome is the will of the people. “Of course we have to address these irregularities happening on the day of the election or before,” the Georgian prime minister told the BBC. “But the general content of the elections was in line with legal principles and the principle of democratic elections.”

Russia has denied the allegations. Denying the results of an election has become commonplace as we just saw with Venezuela, Moldova, and elsewhere. Republics everywhere are showing extreme strain as those in alliance with the New World Order will not accept an incoming party that does not align with their ideals.

Is NATO Prepared for a Trump Victory?

Posted originally on Oct 28, 2024 By Martin Armstrong

People believe that NATO will simply back down if Donald Trump is re-elected as he is strongly against the war in Ukraine. This is simply not the case as NATO began planning for a Trump victory months ago.

Chief Jens Stoltenberg attempted to created a 100 billion euro fund that was intended to be “Trump-proof” earlier in the spring. However, his plan was abandoned in June 2024. Stoltenberg then wanted every member to pledge an annual package of $43 billion on non-lethal aid for Ukraine. Yet, there was dissent within NATO as nations like Italy said they were not actively at war with Russia, while others wanted to wait to see how much US Congress would pass on to Ukraine.

Last week, NATO defense chiefs held a meeting to discuss how to continue the war in the event of a Trump victory. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin assured NATO that the neocons in Washington are committed to continuing aid packages to Ukraine. “We can’t expect that the US will continue to take on an outsized burden” in supporting Ukraine, a senior NATO official said on Thursday, “which is why the Secretary General wants to see NATO leading on security assistance, rather than one ally taking that on.” The official noted that the Europe must now “step up” in case someone enters the White House who is actually seeking peace.

America and Europe are ramping up their efforts to arm Ukraine ahead of the election. Both are now using frozen Russian assets to fund Ukraine. Biden said he is “emptying out” all of the funding that Congress has already approved for Ukraine. The other goal is to provide Ukraine with the means to manufacture their own munitions, with Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs James O’Brien commenting that “billions” have been invested on the matter. “Every day, we are building long-term capability to Ukraine,” Austin said on Friday. “That will help to spell success for Ukraine in the long haul.”

The Neocons have weeks to finalize a plan. How do they ensure the Ukraine war continues if Donald Trump becomes president this November? The answer may shock the world.

Hungary & Serbia

Posted originally on Oct 28, 2024 By Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: Dear Martin,

thank you for all your work and the inside you give!

I’m following your blog since 2016 and I would like to ask you for an outlook regarding Hungary and Serbia.

Looking at the actual situation in Europe and history since 1914 it smells like after the smoke will be gone after 2032 the Chinese will focus on these two as their main partners in Europe.

China is heavily investing in infrastructure in both countrys, especially northern Serbia and south Hungary.

All the best and prepare for another 50 years with us, as Scotty needs to overhaul the machines …

Best regards

ANSWER: It does appear that Hungary and Serbia will survive against the rest of Europe. 2024 was a turning point, and like most other indicators, we see turmoil into 2027. I speak to people there in Serbia and even Macedonia. The general sentiment is pro-Russia, for they never seem to have anything positive to say about Ukraine, most likely because they were goose-stepping with Hitler’s Nazis.

China has been making inroads into Africa and South America. It understands the economic model and cycles. It generally believes that this is its time to rise. Keep in mind that China’s rise is enabled by the stupidity of our leaders and this quest for war with Russia. The West is committing suicide, and that, above all else, is enabling China’s rise. This is not my dream or desire. I have grandchildren, and I had hoped to leave them in the future. But we have allowed these Neocons to seize power, and our complicity, combined with the refusal of mainstream media even to do investigative journalism anymore, is making sure we will crash and burn.

EU Commissars in Brussels Set Up “Trump Task Force” to Prepare for President Trump 2024 Election Victory

Posted originally on the CTH on October 26, 2024 | Sundance

The leaders of the European Union are nervous about President Trump: (1) ending the war in Ukraine, and then (2) ending the Marshal Plan, thereby taxing their exports to the U.S as Trump demands tariff reciprocity; and lastly (3) forcing them to pay for their previous NATO commitments.

Brussels has set up a defensive office within the EU bureaucracy called “The Trump Task Force.”

BRUSSELS — Top European Union officials have met with the bloc’s ambassadors to talk through what it would mean if Donald Trump wins the U.S. election, 12 EU diplomats told POLITICO.

“They’re worried about trade but mostly [about] Ukraine,” one of the diplomats said, adding that Brussels foresees “abrupt changes on U.S. policy even before the inauguration.” The diplomat, like others quoted in this piece, was granted anonymity to speak candidly.

The conversations revolved around two areas of uncertainty should the Republican candidate reclaim the White House: Whether Washington would continue to support Ukraine and the prospect of higher U.S. tariffs for all incoming goods.

[…] The meetings come amid reports the bloc has set up a rapid reaction force to prepare for the fallout of the elections, colloquially known as the “Trump task force.” The EU wants to hit back hard on trade if Trump wins.

Trump has warned that he won’t defend “delinquent” NATO allies spending less than 2 percent of GDP on defense. And he has threatened to slap 10 to 20 percent tariffs on all imports to bring manufacturing jobs back to the U.S. On Thursday, Trump called the EU a “mini China.”

“They don’t take our cars, they don’t take our farm products, don’t take anything. You have a $312 billion deficit with the EU. You know, the EU is a mini — but not so mini — is a mini China,” he said.

Three of the diplomats said that the discussions also touched upon the EU’s relations with China, with Trump set to antagonize Beijing even more. The meetings involve six Commission departments and cover topics such as trade, energy and digital policy — areas that could experience turbulence if Trump returns to the White House. (read more)

Lady Liberty can stroll along the Champs-Elysées with a swagger befitting Mae West because without her arrival they’d be speaking German in the Louvre. Yet for the better part of the past two decades a group of intellectual EU something-or-others have been pushing an insufferable narrative that it’s better to be sitting around a campfire eating sustainable algae cakes and picking parasites off each other.

Enough.

When I hear Donald Trump say, “Let’s Make America Great Again”, I also hear the familiar echo “cowboy up” people.

It’s high time we stop being embarrassed about our exceptional nature, and start being proud of it again. Because when it matters most, when it really counts, when it’s really needed, there’s a whole bunch of people all around this world of ours that are mighty happy when swagger walks in to solve their problems.

Yup, “let’s make America great again”. Swagger on!
