Negotiating a Lasting Peace in Ukraine

by Jeffrey D. Sachs, The Unz Review:

There should be little doubt about how a lasting peace can be established in Ukraine. In April 2022, Russia and Ukraine were on the verge of signing a peace agreement in Istanbul, with the Turkish Government acting as mediator. The U.S. and U.K. talked Ukraine out of signing the agreement, and hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians have since died or been seriously injured. Yet the framework of the Istanbul Process still provides the basis of peace today.

Why Does Hardly Anyone Seem To Realize That We Are Literally On The Brink Of War With Iran?

by Michael Snyder, The Economic Collapse Blog:

What do think Iran is going to do once we start bombing their nuclear facilities?  They know that it is coming, and they have been preparing to respond.  When Iranian missiles are raining down on Israeli targets and U.S. military bases throughout the Middle East, there will be no turning back.  We will officially be at war with Iran.  Needless to say, a war with Iran would be far different from our wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.  The Iranians have the 8th largest military on the entire planet, and they are armed to the teeth with highly advanced missiles.  It would take a “shock and awe” campaign that is unlike anything we have ever seen before to subdue Iran, and full-blown regime change would probably require an invasion.

ROTHSCHILD PUPPET MACRON DECLARES WW3 — Harley Schlanger

from SGT Report:

Since recording this show, the Rothschild’s puppet Emanuel Macron has declared the French MUST continue to wage war against Russia over Ukraine despite Donald J. Trump’s effort (and his mandate from the American people) to bring peace to the region and end the war. It’s pure insanity, but it’s par for the course for the child-trafficking Liberal ‘new world order’ international satanic bankers and their ilk. Harley Schlanger joins me to discuss the latest.

CONCERNING: Ukraine (aka NATO) Hits Leningrad Region, KINEF Oil Refinery, in Russia with Drone Attack

from The Conservative Treehouse:

Consider this an escalation once President Trump is briefed.  Overnight, someone, claimed by media to be Ukraine, launched a targeted series of drone attacks against the KINEF oil refinery in the Leningrad region of Russia.

The refinery is approximately 800 to 1,000 kilometers from where western intelligence operators are assembled to support Ukraine.  This distance means someone within NATO has violated President Trump’s order to withdraw ‘long-range’ targeting system operation, and/or someone within NATO has provided an alternative.

Israeli Media Reveals that Hamas is Actually Funded by Israel – And of Course Israel is Funded by the U.S.

by Brian Shilhavy, Health Impact News:

An explosive report by Israel’s Shin Bet, their internal Security Agency which is similar to the U.S.’s FBI, was published in the Israeli media this week, where they revealed that the Israeli government has in fact been funding Hamas long before the Oct. 7, 2023 terrorist attacks.

This news was scarcely covered in the U.S. media, or spun in a way to downplay its significance.

Here is the initial report published by The Jerusalem Post:

Romania – The first “post-election” democracy?

by Kit Knightly, Off Guardian:

In December 2024, a Romanian court cancelled the second round of the planned Presidential election and annulled the completed first round, citing (totally theoretical) “Russian interference”.

This caused massive protests in Romania, as you can imagine. The first round had been won by right winger Călin Georgescu following a social media-based campaign, and he was predicted to quite easily win the second round as well.

The Romanian opposition – denied a likely victory – took their case to the European Court of Human Rights.

China Joining Russia Against NATO

by Martin Armstrong, Armstrong Economics:

I don’t think Starter understands. This is not marching into battle like in colonial days. Things have changed. The EU may be counting on fighting until the last Ukrainian, Romanian, and Polish, and then they can walk in and take Russia, but this is not shaping up as Europe thinks. Even North Korea has gained from the Ukrainian War. They are now learning an utterly new warfare game and are now up-to-date with knowledge about fighting a modern war with drones rather than jets flying overhead. According to our sources, North Korea has benefited tremendously from aiding Russia, not just by supporting its technological advances. Still, their troops are adapting to an entirely new warfare model that did not even exist during the Gulf War. North Korea has adapted to the rampant, cutting-edge drone warfare that has defined the conflict in Ukraine.

Trump says the U.S. is taking back the Panama Canal, but is that really true?

by Leo Hohmann, Leo’s Newsletter:

President Trump boasted that the Canal was reverting back to U.S. ownership in his address to Congress. What are the facts?

Donald Trump pledged on Day One to retake the Panama Canal. Peacefully or with force, whatever it takes. “We’re taking it back,” Trump declared in his inaugural address.

Within weeks, Wall Street billionaire Larry Fink, a notorious globalist with a seat on the board of trustees at the World Economic Forum and CEO of the world’s largest asset management firm, BlackRock, was on the phone with the White House. This is according to a March 5 article by Bloomberg News.

US Pulls Intelligence Sharing with Ukraine

by M Dowling, Independent Sentinel:

According to the Wall Street Journal, President Trump has ordered a pause to intelligence sharing with Ukraine, said Central Intelligence Agency Director John Ratcliffe. The US is trying to force Kyiv to cooperate in a peace deal.

The U.S. suspended weapons shipments to Ukraine earlier this week after a horrendous meeting in the Oval Office where Ukrainian President Zelensky appeared to think he was there to berate President Trump and his team publicly.

Has Israel’s Goal Always Been to Occupy Gaza through Ethnic Cleansing and NOT to Defeat Hamas?

by Brian Shilhavy, Health Impact News:

In a stunning admission today, the Trump Administration confirmed reports that they been having secret talks with Hamas leadership to secure the return of American hostages, and end the war.

If you are an American like me, it has been drilled into our minds our whole lives that “The U.S. does negotiate with terrorists.”

Well, apparently the Trump Administration does.

Axios published an exclusive scoop on this (Exclusive: U.S. holding secret talks with Hamas) earlier today, and then the Trump Administration confirmed that it was true.

Reality confronts the Euro ruling-strata – ‘Through the tear in the fantasy bubble, they see their own demise’

by Alastair Crooke, Strategic Culture:

They (the Euro-élites) don’t have a chance: “If Trump imposes this tariff [25%], the U.S. will be in a serious trade conflict with the EU”, the Norwegian Prime Minister threatens. And what if Brussels does retaliate?

“They can try, but they can’t”, Trump responded. Von der Leyen has, however, already promised that she will retaliate. Nonetheless, the combined suite of the Anglo administrative forces is still unlikely to compel Trump to put U.S. military troops on the ground in Ukraine to protect European interests (and investments!).

Zelensky Backdown or Resign Pressure Building

by Martin Armstrong, Armstrong Economics:

Zelensky has relented only after Trump cut off all aid to Ukraine. Sources are saying that the politicians, whose salaries would end instantly, insisted that he cut a deal or resign. Zelensky proposed a partial ceasefire with Russia, posting on X that Kyiv would be willing to release prisoners and agree to a truce that would ban long-range attacks on civilian and energy infrastructure in the air and the sea. The Neocons are probably very upset, but if they can’t shake someone down to put in $10 billion to cover all the expenses in Ukraine when Europe doesn’t have the cash, they will need to create some false flag afterward to claim Putin violated the cease-fire.

European Leaders Warn That Conscription Will Be Necessary As The EU Launches An $840 Billion Program To Prepare For War With Russia

by Michael Snyder, End Of The American Dream:

If you were drafted, would you willingly go to the killing fields of eastern Ukraine?  What about your children?  The war in Ukraine has been an endless “meat grinder” that has already claimed hundreds of thousands of Russian lives and more than a million Ukrainian lives.  Those that are sane want to see if there is a peaceful way out of this mess so that the killing can stop.  Unfortunately, vast numbers of leftists all over the United States and western Europe have been transformed into rabid pro-war lunatics that are absolutely obsessed with “defeating” Russia.  So gigantic mountains of dollars and euros have been poured into the war in Ukraine, but it hasn’t worked.  The Russians are winning, and so now European leaders are preparing to take things to the next level.
