Perhaps if you would provide a sentence or two of summary to your videos.

Will do. In fact, it was already done for me, just didn't use it. So once again, with the summary first :-)...
**Russian 20 KM breakthrough and Ukrainian counterattack north of Pokrovsk. How did it happen? Let's analyze this play by play. All we know is that the battle is going to be difficult, because Ukraine's commander in chief Syrsky decided to double down on its defense of Pokrovsk. **

Even as many hallucinate US President Trump is "changing course, " the US indulges in its worst, neocon globalist impulses, just as it did under the first Trump administration, under Biden, Obama and Bush Jr.Continuity of agenda...People think the same government doing this wants or is even capable of "peace" with Russia?

I'd argue that it's not that Trump and other U.S. Presidents didn't want peace- it's that they wanted peace on their own terms. To Trump's credit, however, I think he's beginning to realize that Putin will -not- kowtow to U.S. neocons when it comes to the war in Ukraine- it's just too important for Russia. I believe Russia is so firm on this that they'd risk having a nuclear war with the U.S. They wouldn't win, but neither would the U.S. and the results would be devastating for everyone. To Trump's credit, I think he'd like to avoid this and this is why he's so respectful of Russia. Because if push ever came to shove between Russia and the U.S., everyone would lose.

So long as America can treat the rest of the world as slaves to be exploited there can be peace.....but that will never happen so we do forever war.

Trump does not change this....Presidents dont have the power to change this.

War, sure. I think Trump is just trying to ensure that it doesn't reach annihilation level.
 
I have seen it argued that the Zionist colony is set up their has to be constant conflict and war otherwise it falls apart....war is baked in just as there must be growth to keep capitalist systems functioning.

I suspect that the same is true of America.

I think that Trump is smart enough to see that the American Empire is crumbling, and thinking that we still have the economic power and military we had 30 years ago he thinks it can be saved by issuing enough threats and military lessons.

That is he has no idea what the real world looks like, and he is making everything worse for us.

He is right that the Empire has been mismanaged, he is wrong about the fix.

There is no fix, it is too late.
 
The Russians and the Chinese are ready to help with the cushioning to America of the end of our Empire, they having been through such rough times dont wish that on anyone, but they have found us to be beyond helping.

I agree that the American empire is crumbling and I doubt Trump can stop it. I even think that ultimately, that's a -good- thing as the empire part of America is pretty bad. However, I -do- believe that Trump is trying to avoid nuclear annihilation and I think he just may succeed in that endeavour.

I once believed that, but I admit to being a life long over optimist. I now think that Trump has been coopted or that he is too weak to resist those who have been running the Empire into the ground....I think that Brian Berletic is right.....where the rubber meets the road nothing has changed....and nothing will change re the failing empire driving for nuclear war.

As I sit here and watch the Empire implode I am reminded of a galactic implosion in its spectacularity.

Remember that this is not just the American Empire....this is the British Empire that came before it...the Brits claiming that they taught the Americans everything there is know about running an empire.......this is a once in 500 years event.....this is HUUUUGE!.

Well, I guess there's only one way to find out what happens- wait and see :-p.

I’ve written for UnHerd about the Trump-Putin summit in Alaska and the subsequent meeting with Zelensky and European leaders in Washington, and what these developments mean for the prospects of ending the war in Ukraine.Let’s start with the good news. The Anchorage, Alaska meeting formally reestablished direct dialogue between the world’s two largest military and nuclear powers. It marked the first face-to-face meeting between a US and Russian president since the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, and the first such encounter on American soil in nearly two decades, signalling a turning point in US-Russia relations which, since 2022, had reached levels of hostility not seen since the Cold War. This is obviously good news for anyone interested in avoid thermonuclear war. Yet a comprehensive political settlement to the Ukraine war continues to remain elusive. Not only because Europe and Zelensky remain opposed to any deal on Russian terms — the only possibile terms, given that Russia is winning the war — for reasons that I explain in the article. But more fundamentally because achieving lasting peace is about much more than just recognising Russia’s control over Crimea and the four annexed oblasts; it’s about addressing the “primary roots of the conflict”, as Putin repeated in Anchorage: that Ukraine will never join NATO, that the West will not transform it into a de facto military outpost on Russia’s border and that a broader “balance of security in Europe” be restored. This effectively amounts to a wholesale reconfiguration of the global security order — one that would reduce NATO’s role, end US supremacy and acknowledge a multipolar world in which other powers can rise without Western interference.This is something Trump — and more fundamentally the US imperial establishment, which operates largely independent of whoever occupies the White House — cannot concede to. For all his rhetoric about ending “forever wars”, Trump continues to embrace a fundamentally supremacist vision of America’s role in the world — albeit a more pragmatic one than that of the liberal-imperialist establishment. His administration continues to support NATO rearmament and even the redeployment of US nuclear weapons along multiple fronts, from the UK to the Pacific. Trump’s policies toward China, Iran and the broader Middle East confirm that Washington still sees itself as an empire whose global dominance must be preserved at all costs — not only through economic pressure, but also through military confrontation when deemed necessary.Within this framework, Russia remains a central challenge. As a pivotal ally of both China and Iran, it is embedded in the architecture of the emerging multipolar order that threatens US hegemony. For Washington, Moscow is not simply a regional actor but a key node in a broader strategic realignment.Trump, however, appears willing — at least temporarily — to put the “Russia problem” on hold, focusing instead on the larger confrontation with China. But this indicates a shift in priorities rather than principles: the logic of American supremacy ensures that Russia will remain on the list of adversaries, even if the spotlight briefly shifts elsewhere.In this sense, Trump would probably be content with a scenario in which the US extricates itself from the Ukrainian debacle while leaving Europe to shoulder the burden a while longer — possibly until conditions on the ground deteriorate so severely that a settlement on Russian terms becomes unavoidable. Indeed, JD Vance and Pete Hegseth said as much, arguing that the US will stop funding the war, but Europe can continue if it wishes — buying American weapons in the process. This “division of labour” would allow Washington to reallocate resources to the coming confrontation with China, while leaving Europeans stuck in an unwinnable war.The Russians are well aware of all this. They likely harbour no illusions about the real objectives of the US imperial establishment. And they know full well that any deal struck with Trump could be overturned at any moment. However, Putin’s short-term goals align with Trump’s. One could say that Russia and the United States are strategic adversaries whose leaders nonetheless share a tactical interest in cooperation.Seen in this light, one might postulate that the purpose of the Alaska summit was never to secure a final peace agreement. Both Trump and Putin doubtless understand that such a deal is currently impossible. Rather, the meeting was about allowing the US to step back from Ukraine without admitting defeat, while Russia continues to advance.
