Trudeau, Trump talk Ukraine as allies fear U.S. withdrawal from war effort

 via globalnews.ca

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau spoke with U.S. President Donald Trump about the war in Ukraine Saturday as European allies fear a withdrawal of U.S. support for Kyiv’s efforts to defend against Russia’s invasion.

The translation?  They want us to provide money, troops and guarantees.  Why can't they do it themselves?  Easy.  Its easier to talk shit about the US while we do the heavy lifting and they sit on their ass than it is for them to actually commit.  Oh and if you don't consider the EU a superpower then you're wrong.

 

It also comes as Ukraine and its European allies fear the U.S. president may scale back its support of Kyiv’s war effort.

Russian and U.S. representatives last week agreed to start working towards ending the war in Ukraine — without Ukrainian representatives at the table. Senior U.S. officials have publicly mused that Ukraine must give up its aspirations to join the NATO security alliance and accept Russia’s seizure of substantial tracts of their country.

This part mystifies me.  Zelensky talked shit about Trump "operating in a disinformation bubble" and now he's using others to talk on his behalf to keep the gravy train rolling even though his CORRUPT ass country can't account for half the money sent and all kinds of high ranking officials now have new mansions and stacked bank accounts?

 Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said that his country would not accept any outcome of talks that Kyiv wasn’t party to.

This part irks too.

I wish to God that Trump would call his bluff and arrange a peace deal with Russia.  I dare Zelensky to walk away and if he did then we say "fuck'em".

I'd pay good money to see that.  Hell do that and they can keep that 5K from DOGE savings!

Anyway read this whine and cry fest here.

Trump has the EU elite losing their minds. This is the most mind blowing article I've read in a long time...


 

We're getting close to diplomatic midnight...

There are three kinds of people in Western politics right now. People who understand that Trump just blew up the post-1945 order; people who suspect he did but are hoping that “the system” will sort it out; and people going about their business in blyth ignorance, passing laws, issuing press releases, staging photo ops as if our democracy and way of life were not in severe danger.

I’ve just come from a public meeting at London's RSA with Ukraine’s ex foreign minister, Dmytro Kuleba. He definitely falls into the first camp. Trump, he said, will attempt to force Ukraine to sign a deal by narrowing the timeframe in which the Zelensky administration and the Europeans can influence it. That’s what all the insults are about.

This is not just a US grab for Ukraine’s mineral wealth. The USA is in direct competition with European attempts to both develop their own AI industry, strategic geopolitical autonomy and an independent economic relationship with Ukraine. It is also an attempt at preventing Europeans from adopting the “militant democracy” defence against fascism.

As the days pass, I believe it will emerge that Trump’s goal is a strategic deal with Putin, reviving the ethno-nationalist regime as a partner in the carve up of Europe.

I also believe Europe will survive this and triumph. But we need the British and French political class to snap out of their stupor and lead. Both Keir Starmer and Emanuel Macron have stepped up to the plate well so far: Macron is talking about massive defence invesments, Starmer has promised troops to Ukraine once a deal is signed.

As a result, both are now in the crosshairs of the slander-machine run by Musk and the American far right. What’s at issue over the next week is if Trump tries to humiliate and browbeat the two nuclear-armed P5 powers into acquiescence.

I spoke to senior ex diplomats tonight who have no idea whether Trump actually has a plan or not. The Hegseth speech, wrong-headed though it was, was at least clear: it contained clear language about conventional and nuclear weapons and a clear ask - 5% defence spending - that is long overdue.

Few people in the loop now claim to know whether that speech represents the foreign policy of the Trump administration, or whether the policy is just being improvised by billionaire dimwits.

So this is much worse than the 1930s. In the 1930s there was a clear threat; we knew what it wanted; we could prioritise fighting Germany over fighting Japan; we had time. And the USA was isolationist but not led by venal idiots.

Also, the USA in the 1930s – Joseph P.  Kennedy notwithstanding – was not routinely trying to disrupt  European anti-fascism. Today the American far right is openly meddling in European politics.

What can we do? The number one thing I want to see happen is European politicians levelling with their electorates: hour by hour, day by day. Trump's decision to blow up the Western alliance is an attack on all of us. It is undermining our armed forces, our national security, our economic investment in the construction of a stable democracy and partner in Ukraine.

Of course, we need to use diplomacy – but neither Putin or Trump is using diplomacy. And at some point Western governments need to use raw power to carve out a position in the negotiations.

Kuleba was clear tonight – he thinks Trump will force through a deal, which freezes the war. But it cannot happen without Europe and Ukraine, and the EU, UK and Ukraine united around the same goals would a powerful factor in events, especially because Trump is torching the USA’s soft power.

The UK now has to rearm. Not to 3% of GDP but more like 5 or 6%, scalable beyond that. That means borrowing to invest. Do it right and the economy will be booming in 18 months time, and Reform UK will look like a sorry bunch of Putinist puppets, closer to the enemy than the Union flag.

We are going to need tactical nuclear weapons, because we can no longer rely on the USA. And yes, that’s a mindbender that I wish we didn’t have to contemplate but without  a bigger range of escalation options we lose our freedom of action in the world.

That was one of the biggest takeaways from Kuleba’s talk: don’t ever think it won’t happen to you. 

And here’s the biggest. He was asked how the war will end. He said: one of us disappears. It’s existential for Putin in the long run. As in the 2021 essay, he cannot see Ukraine as a European and democratic country. He has to destroy it – and thus Ukraine and the European democracies are fated to destroy the Putin regime.

In the coming days I expect all the domestic forces platonically aligned to Putin and Trump’s war aims to start mobilising: Reform are conflicted – they don’t know how to play this; but the reliable Stalinists of the far left are already on board with Trump’s vision for a Ukrainian sell out.

In response, I’ll be on the streets tomorrow, protesting outside the Russian Embassy tomorrow.

But the real action has to happen inside the heads of a few tens of thousands of politically active people in Britain – in Labour, the Tories, Libdems, even the Greens if they want to live in a continent where Net Zero actually matters. And Fleet Street.

The basic question is: which side are you on? Putin, Musk, Trump and the sieg-heiling Bannon? Or European democracy. If you’ve ever set foot in the Louvre, the Uffizi or the Reina Sofia the answer should be pretty damn clear.

Trump and Putin colluding to destroy the West as a concept. We have two leaders, in Macron and Starmer, who have stepped up to the plate and need support - plus an admirable set of smaller nations who know which side they're on. If they come back from Washington with a trail of insults and nothing else, we then we will have to draw sombre conclusions: nuclear rearmament to protect ourselves; probably the nuclear rearmament of Ukraine, too. And active destabilisation of the Putin regime with no holds barred.

You didn’t come into politics to do this? You want to stick to the 1001 just causes and campaigns that win you kudos with voters? Tough. 

Trump and Putin have called time on all that. February 2025 is the turning point after which how you responded to the big political decisions of our era is what you’re going to be judged on.

Ukrainian soldiers tearing off American flags in protest?

Dude hasn't even seen the field. All that black and not a speck of dust on it? Gear looks brand new like he's never even been close to the front lines? Even in a support role he'd have sweat stains all over that shit. Is this just propaganda?

OK. This is WILD! Accusations of organ harvesting in Ukraine

 

This is wild. Organ harvesting of seriously wounded (maybe even dead...they're not clear) soldiers in Ukraine? I've heard of some accusations in the US against the Hollywood elite but this would take it to a whole new level. The Zelensky regime better get ahead of this real quick cause it could shatter what support they do have. Even if you're saying its nonsense you still have to address it asap otherwise stuff like this can take on a life of its own.

Life is so much better when people get real and drop the bullshit

Oct 7th is turning into an even bigger operational fuck up by the IDF than even I imagined.

 I believe with all my heart that the IDF, Israeli govt and US intel all knew that Hamas was planning an attack on Oct 7th.  Conspiracy theory me all you want but I truly believe it.

Long story short.

They knew and they did nothing about it.  Its really like they wanted the attack (additionally I think that Netanyahu wanted 2 things...something to build his legacy on and next to divert attention from the corruption probe).

But thanks to Moebius2249 I get this tidbit...via The Cradle

Former Israeli defense minister Yoav Gallant has acknowledged ordering the army to use the Hannibal Directive to kill Israeli civilians and soldiers during the Hamas attack on 7 October 2023.

During an interview with Israel’s Channel 12 on 7 February, Gallant admitted to ordering the controversial protocol that involves killing captives along with their captors.

When asked whether an order was given to implement the Hannibal Directive, Gallant responded:

 “I think that, tactically, in some places, it was given, and in other places, it was not given, and that is a problem.”

Don't think that I don't get it.

Better to kill your loved one than to let them be ravaged and tortured by animals.

But what has me spinning is if you're willing to kill your fellow Soldier and Civilian to prevent the above then why do you open your jails, release people you call terrorists and move heaven and earth to get BODIES back?

Israel prides itself on being the only democracy in the Middle East but even with that I just don't get their thinking.

Wow. Me and Musk both agree on how much we hate Zelensky (along with the Ukrainian people)...

Note. I've wondered why we support a man that has ordered millions of people to their deaths but won't even give them the opportunity to vote for those that make those decisions. It's obvious. There are no "good guys" in this fight. Only different and opposing interests. What I can't figure is how it is in the national security interests of the US to support Ukraine. The sad truth? If the people of Ukraine could have voted then this war would have been over at least a year ago. Peace at any cost? Naw. Peace to preserve the nation? Yeah. Globalist, the Brits (Boris Johnson needs to be investigated that piece of shit is a blood thirsty bitch) and certain others really want the fight to the very last Ukrainian.
