It all went badly wrong for Zelensky on his weekly begging trip to Washington right from the start and just kept getting worse as the day went on.

As in the MS Summary video posted yesterday Zelensky got a hint of trouble as soon as his plane landed and there was nobody there to greet him at the airport, except the news cameras of course.

So, in the absence of an official greeting party Zelensky had to line up the 2 pilots and the hostess from his own plane plus his road manager Yermak to shake his hand as he stepped onto the tarmac.

Next came his meetings with reps from the weapons companies. They filed into a room, they shook hands, Zelensky rattled off his 'please sir can I have some more' begging speech, they just looked back at him like he was completely mad, end of meeting. One after the other they came and went.

It was obvious they were all just lined up to give a sympathetic ear, promise nothing, and then get out as fast as possible. It was embarrassing for all, Zelensky could see it was all just for show.

Then it got worse by far when Zelensky got to the White House, no convivial chat sat round in a circle this time just the 3 of us, oh no. Trump was sat upright at a big confrence table with a team of heavies either side of him while Zelensky and Yemak sat opposite practically in amongst the press scrum who were shouting a constant stream of questions at Trump over Zelensky's head.

Trump told the world that the US had plenty of Tomahawk missiles but just not quiet enough to be able to give any to Zelensky.

And basically that was it, it was all over.

Why did it all go so wrong? The clue was in the readouts from the phone conversation between Trump and Putin that took place the day before.

The readouts from both the US and the Russians were very similar in their description of what was discussed and how it went. The call lasted 2 and a half hours, by far the longest between the 2 and in general it was polite and respectful but also described as 'frank', this is diplomat speak for not quite argumentative but definitely hammering out differences of opinion.

Putin seemed to get across to Trump that if tomahawks were used the whole world would know that US personnel were firing US missiles deep into Russia proper and there absolutely would be very real and very hard consequences from Russia to any such action.

Reminder that Trump had always been told by the neocons that Russia was just all bluster and would never do anything serious in return. It seems that over the 2 and a half hour call Putin convinced Trump that the opposite was true.

Zelensky was aware of none of this as he skipped to the US expecting the usual hand outs he's come to expect he's entitled to.

This is serious for Zelensky now because without the usual timely escalation he's come to expect he has nothing to hide behind.

'Sure it might not look like we're winning now but just wait till we get the javelins, triple As, Abrams, himars, atacms, F-16s, tomahawks '.


And then, to cap Zelensky's worst day ever comes the announcement of another summit meeting between Trump and Putin in Hungry, an EU country to boot, also arranged in 'that' phone call. No Zelensky, no NATO's Rutte, no EU or UK.


Reminder that Hungary's PM Viktor Orban is the bad boy of the EU, Ursula must be spitting tacks seeing Putin in the EU and Orban hosting Trump, how will she and Kallas manage to wiggle their way in on the guest list? They might have to climb in through the toilet window in order to get a chance to genu flex before the holy Trump. We shall see.

More on Zelensky's very bad day in Washington, when at the White House Zelensky offered to exchange some drones for the tomahawks to which Trump and Vance just looked at each other and started to laugh. Then, after the end of the press questions Trump refused a joint statement presentation or to let Zelensky hold a press conference in the White House so Zelensky had to go outside with the press to behind the security fence where all the tourists stand to take photos.

And now with nothing else left to do Zelensky starts screaming out for a ceasefire all over again, admittedly he was prompted by Trump who started the cry anew. Trump seems to have forgotten why he abandoned the call weeks ago. Russia will not accept any end that does not address the causes of the start of the conflict because that would not be an end but just a pause.

And given that Russian troops are right now fighting to take control of 7 Ukrainian cities, Pokrovsk, Myrnohrad, Konstantinovka, Siversk, Lyman, Kupiansk and Volchansk. There is absolutely no chance Russia will agree to any ceasefire and the fact that Trump doesn't see that is very disturbing regarding his lack of understanding as to what's actually happening on the ground in Ukraine.

Where is he getting his intel from? How can he possibly not know of the hundreds of hours of video footage showing the fighting in these cities. The bullshit that seems to be Trump's knowledge base can only be coming from his advisor Kellogg who gets all his intel straight from the biggest bullshitters of all time Zelensky and Ukraine intel chief Budanov.

An important word on the war mappers, the west will only look at the Ukrainian army's DeepState mapping or perhaps the US ISW (very pro-Ukraine) maps. DeepState are known for not updating their maps, sometimes months at a time, if the changes are in Russian favour.

Most independent mappers, like Military Summery, will only update their maps when they get geolocated video confirmation, this means they too are often late to recognise changes if frontline if video releases are not made available by either army. So it is inevitable the information available is delayed but the trends as to direction of movement are obvious.

So it is astonishing that Trump seems to believe the opposite of what is actually happening, his own intel service must know because they have real-time satellite coverage of the battlefronts but Trump did admit he doesn't listen to his own intel service reports and relies instead on Kellogg, which all seems very strange.

The only explanation is that Trump knows exactly what's going on and his comments are all just an act to play along with the west's fake narrative to keep this shit show on the road for as long as possible, tough luck the people of Ukraine.

Meanwhile people are trying to map out possible routes for Putin's upcoming trip to Hungary crossing hostile zones aplenty. This really does have a Franz Ferdinand bad feeling about it and considering the enemies who would just love to take advantage, e.g. the British and the Europeans intel services, any 'mishap' on Putin's trip could easily lead to a sudden outbreak of WW3.

More revelations from Zelensky’s worst day ever, this time from the FT.

The reason Trump was so angry with Zelensky and sent him outside to do his press interview was because they had had a blazing argument with full blooded swearing at each other during their private meeting.

We know this is typical behaviour from Zelensky with his generals but with your chief benefactor might be considered a mistake.

The flare up was caused by Trump telling Zelensky he had lost the Donbas and needed to accept that in exchange for peace.

Zelensky of course refused to admit the obvious and shouted out all the west’s mantra talking points back at Trump.

If anything can convince Trump as to the impossibility of Zelensky’s stance it was this. The sooner he backs the US out of this hopeless impasse and just lets Putin get on with the inevitable the better.

The Donbas is nearly completely taken by Russia anyway. When seeing the maps in detail over the last 2 years the region is completely covered with towns and villages and that in nearly every one there’s a mine.

Clearly the Donbas feeds a major industry that generates a lot of wealth but that’s not really why Zelensky won’t give it up. Zelensky has staked everything on not surrendering anything at all and he will keep rolling the dice no matter how much he loses in the impossible hope that he can win it all back.

Outside the Donbas Ukraine is much less densely populated, much more open countryside and agricultural.

The original Zelensky plan was to win a fast track Ukrainian admission into NATO and the EU and that’s what he’s still playing for without realising those goals are long gone. And he’s being encouraged by the Europeans to keep going because he might still do some damage to Russia before Ukraine finally dies.

At some point he will need to be dragged from the table before literally everything has gone, he’s like the compulsive gambler that will never stop. Maybe Trump finally gets it.

‘Trump told Fox News on Sunday that he was confident about securing an end to the conflict, and added that Putin is “going to take something, he’s won certain property”.

Reuters reported that Trump told Zelensky that Moscow needs security guarantees too, which 'the Ukrainian delegation found confusing'. As I said previously it’s Russia that needs guarantees from the west to stop NATO encircling, Ukraine just needs a peace treaty with Russia.

The Ukrainians would only need security guarantees if the west (or western weapons) defeated Russia for them and then left Ukraine to it. The Ukrainians still seriously think this is going to happen, it’s the only plan they’ve got. That’s why Zelensky keeps biding his time rolling the dice, and because it’s never going to happen is why he needs to be dragged from the table.

The Ukrainians have no plan, no men, no weapons or equipment, and so the Russians will just keep rolling them backward to provide themselves with their own security guarantee (a huge buffer zone).

All cards are now on the table and not surprisingly it turns out only one player actually has any cards left.

The Europeans gave all they had to the conflict, which wasn't much, early on. They were hoping for a big payout once Russia splintered but it was not to be. Now they have been nominated to carry the financial burden which they accepted with absolutely no means of fulfilling the obligation.

They intend to steal the Russian frozen assets but that won’t go far and will destroy their own reputation doing so but Europe is a lost cause now anyway. The reality is that substantial, meaningful aid to Ukraine is basically at an end and without it Ukraine cannot survive.

The Americans have basically folded having admitted they are not willing to sink any more money into this sunken cost fallacy. They also admitted they have nothing left in the military stores cupboard to give.

They have reached escalation exhaustion, to give tomahawk missiles would wreck any hope of future relations with Russia and sending troops or nukes is just not an option.

As in the Lt Col Karen Kwiatkowski interview, “Trump doesn’t like losers, Zelensky is a loser. NATO is a loser. Most of the European countries are led by losers”.

The Ukrainians are exhausted, their economy is in ruins, their army has run out of men and equipment, their civil infrastructure has been destroyed.

Zelensky and his now very rich ruling elite are still full of vim and vigor but without the constant supply of money and supplies from patrons they have nothing.

Zelensky is still at the table rolling the dice but he can only ever keep losing from here on and will need to be forcibly removed from the board.

Putin and the Russians have won, they saw the threat from NATO as existential, and it was, so they ramped up production of trained men and military supplies and set about the hard task of attriting the collective enemy (NATO assisted by Ukraine).

They set goals and a means of achieving them and went to work.

Russia will extract a price from Ukraine in the form of territory. Who will help Ukraine try to repair whatever’s left of the country after the dust settles we will have to wait and see.


Following Zelensky’s White House drama and, after a chat to the European leaders to tell them how brave he was sticking it to the big man, he then went back to Kiev and gave a statement;

- Zelenskyy reiterated his refusal to withdraw 1000s from Donbas.
- The war is nearing a possible end. (?)
- Russia has not changed its position and demands that Ukraine completely withdraw from Donetsk and Luhansk.
- if Ukraine agrees to a "bad" territorial solution, then all other decisions will be made without it.
- Ukraine must be prepared to find $2 billion in gas.
- The Ukrainian Armed Forces are in a difficult situation in Pokrovsk.
- Ukraine is preparing a contract for the purchase of 25 Patriot systems. ($25 billion)
- Budapest is not the best place for a peace meeting as Orban is blocking Ukraine everywhere.

Many pro-Ukrainian countries have not yet joined the America PURL program to purchase weapons for Ukraine. (dig deep brothers ha ha, $25 billion will do for starters)

Zelensky has also now put up for vote an extension of Marshall law and more mobilisations (must be for younger men, surely not the over 70s now?)

Trump now (again) surprised that Putin has not changed his position since Trump denied Ukraine tomahawks (wishful thinking).







Putin Will 'DESTROY YOU' Trump's Wake Up Call for Zelensky | Lt Col Karen Kwiatkowski

EU and the media say once again Putin has fooled Trump and misled him into thinking a deal was close and then do nothing but stick to his previous position.

This is odd because Putin has only changed the Russian position once and that was in June 2024 when Putin formally added the 4 eastern oblasts to Crimea as a SMO goal. This was an extension of the Istanbul agreement of 2022.

If anyone was misleading it’s more likely to be Trump. Indian PM Modi confirmed that he never spoke to Trump on the phone at all let alone promised Trump he was stopping importing Russian oil as Trump said he had last week.

Trump and Zelensky are again beating the ceasefire drum saying it’s only fair that both sides stop the fighting immediately. Sure, just when Russia is in the act of storming the Ukrainian cities that make up the so-called ‘fortress belt’, of course Zelensky wants an immediate ceasefire but Russia certainly won’t and there is nothing Trump or Zelensky can do to make them.

Apparently the Russian army is a paper tiger but at the same time is the second largest army in the world and Russia is losing in Ukraine and can only take 1% of the country this year but is also about to march on Berlin, the Russian economy is collapsing while out producing in weapons all NATO countries combined by x4 and of course between all these international meetings and 4 hour speeches Putin is actually dying of cancer.

You have to be ready to spin on a dime if you want to keep up with the western media these days.

It’s amusing to compare contemporary western and Russian PR, now the west floods you with blatantly contradictory propaganda while the Russians flood you with an hour long history lecture to give context to a 5 minute news story.

Meanwhile oil refineries in Hungary are mysteriously exploding, Victor Orban, Hungary’s PM has said that if investigations point the finger at Ukraine he will call for a NATO article 5 response, a NATO army fighting a NATO proxy army, should be fun.

The FT says that European countries will find the money to buy weapons for Ukraine but neglects to say that money isn’t actually the main problem, the lack of weapons to buy is. Remember the last time they tried to buy a million artillery shells on the open market, they found less than a quarter the number, paid an exorbitant price, and the shells they did find were so old half were duds.

When America says buy from us they mean pay up front and we’ll put you on the waiting list (which for patriot missile systems is currently 7 years).

And this leads us to why Russia is winning and why there is nothing Ukraine or the west can do about it.

Russia has a huge advantage in artillery and drones and glide bombs, they have a huge advantage in aircraft and air power in general and it’s this that is killing the Ukrainian army and allowing the Russian to advance and occupy the space the air power creates.

There is nothing the west can do to catch up. Western countries keep saying they need to produce more but a) they don’t have the means to do so, and b) Russia will just increase their own production to stay ahead. No matter what, there is nothing the west can do to ‘save’ Ukraine.

And unless western European nations want to be locked into a decades long cold war and arms race with Russia they had better come clean and admit it’s them that caused Russian’s serious security concerns and it’s therefore them who need to do something about it.

Currently Russia is fighting to prevent NATO putting military bases and missile launchers on Russia’s front doorstep and that means destroying any that turn up until NATO countries agree to stop.

The US has not been encircling Russia for its own defence. The only reason anyone does what NATO has done is as a pretext to war.

But we still have these total clowns as heads of state, captured by the globalist elite, still banging the war drum. The whole lot needs to be cleared out and the EU as a political entity disbanded.

The globalist elite’s dream of global power is being destroyed on the Ukrainian battlefield and a good thing it is too.
