If anyone ever was in over his head as president Trump would be the proverbial perfect illustration. With that being know Crooke on the Judge said today that the one Putin doesn't want to do is humiliate Trump. It seems as if punching the bully doesn't work in politics like it does in real life. Both Xi and Putin are trying real hard to keep Trump and whomever controls amerika to stay out of a hot war, the economic war will win the day with amerika kicking own goals after own goals

It was an election with a choice of idiots, a laughing hyena and a childish narcissist. If Trump was serious he'd have addressed the issue curtailing CIA covert operations, he didn't so either he's impotent, stupid, or playing people with lies. As for humiliating Trump it's only a matter of time, best not wait around at the orange buffoons convenience.

When you see the handwriting on the wall it's best you believe it. Trump has always and will always be all talk no walk, he gave it away back in his 1st term when he let Her Heinous walk, he's one of that small club that we aren't allowed to be

Reasons cited by Trump for not pursuing prosecution:

Desire to heal the country: Trump stated that he did not want to hurt the Clintons and that pursuing an investigation would be divisive for the country

As if suuch things happen with the snap of fingers. Forget the personalities involved. Geopolitics moves according to the sum of arc moments just like everything else. Understanding this is what makes the Russian Stavka so effective and inscrutable to the western mind.

perhaps in fact the usa and west itself are in over their head and only know how to not challenge the deep states agenda here for fear they will get taken out in the process.. so instead usa-west has compliant leaders - not real leaders - who say whatever they think appeals to the ongoing agenda and not offering much of any resistance to any of it in concrete terms - although they try to imply they are ''seeking a ceasefire'' all the while there has been no stop in any of the financial and military support on their proxy in the war on russia..

fortunately russia isn't buying any of it, while maintaining this thin veneer of a conciliatory attitude towards trump... i think this is hard to maintain and we are getting much closer to crunch time with the attack on the nuclear strategic air bases in russia.. time is running out as they say in the real world and it ain't looking good either..

Note that most are insiders and controlled via Groupthink. A few outliers exist like Rand Paul, but they’ve too few for too long. That’s why I advocated taking out their paymasters in my MoA postings.

There will never be a negotiated settlement, only escalation to war. With China and Russia trying to apply brakes via meaningless engagement (with not agreement capable US) they are biding time in the process of weakening the US. An interesting prospect given the US is a psycho with nukes.

At MoA today, I advocated going after Deep State actors—”wet job” actions since they’re the one ultimately causing the terrorism, and it’s an ATO now.

It's the only way, and anyone who's honest would have to agree. These people are criminals who are the actual arsonists, murders, and thieves.

I hope this includes George Soros, his spawn and Bill Gates. It'd be perversely gratifying to see Bill and Hillary become pink mist like so many Muslims over the years. Add O'Bummer into the slurry of pointless human detritus being cleared away and I think we'd be moving in a positive direction.

Oh and the Lawfare crew, McCord, Elias, etc.

I think the Vlad actually wanted to give Trump a chance to finish the SMO on day 1. It was like buying a lottery ticket with low odds but still a peaceful end was worth the price. Vlad could actually be JFK like in he remembers the horrors of war whereas none of the western elites could give it a 2nd thought.

The LA protests/riots are being thought of some as a way for the elites to start a civil war or insurrection as an excuse for what's coming down the pike, The Great Reset. Now how it plays out or who is at the wheel we just don't have all the answers as of yet

Yes, reset, it's their late night wet dream. They lack the control over real resources to make it happen, and if they go down that track they'll find the west has empty everything, a rotting suburban edifice, and will become in Trump's words "a shithole".

The government cannot accuse trump or any that surround him. This is logical although generally unacceptable to us, for we know what he and his are guilty of. The same as all American presidents and for a long time. So to say the truth into a camera and microphone is time wasted and will forever destroy the opportunity for a political settlement, even that this is anyway almost impossible. What it would also achieve is to free Trump and America to wage war openly and directly with Ukrainian hands and we will reach the no return point very fast. Let them do it in secret, it is good to hear and see the lies when we know the truth. Ours are working on the battlefield that's it. All the tasks will be completed. Words will achieve nothing now, but we can still say some and we will, because who would choose a side, well they already chose. Recently I watched comments for main media of England and Germany. Unfortunately my opinion estimates only 1 from 10 opinions know the truth, therefore 90% of these countries are not adequate people, they are the same as their leaders. For the minority, pity.

I watched the Escobar/Nima chat today that I highly suggest. The Future Forum 2050 is happening and is quite curious. I see Lavrov spoke there and will soon be working on publishing that transcript. As Pepe said to Nima, so many things are rapidly happening at the same time it’s hard to keep up and even harder to find time to discuss them all. Today’s discussion at MoA is a case in point where I argue that any response needs to target the Deep State actors who are the one’s driving the aggression but very few want to see that. Here’s the link to Nima/Pepe, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMYcDaI4ROQ

Here’s the link to my main posting at MoA, https://www.moonofalabama.org/2025/06/russia-seeks-asymmetrical-response-for-strike-on-its-nuclear-assets.html?cid=6a00d8341c640e53ef02e860ec363c200b#comment-6a00d8341c640e53ef02e860ec363c200b

Agree. Did not see anyone share an opinion like that before, well only I myself say such things. The list is long. Haute banque families first, after all they are responsible for all wars in approximately the last 200 years and arguably anything else that has harmed us and all other living things in our world.

America is a freakshow with a set of highly unsavoury characters, rogue spook agencies, corporate crime syndicates/cartels, lords of war (warlords), drug & paedophile rings, a mix between James Bond villains and Thunderbirds are Go, wrapped in an enigma.

Any sane/savvy person with the means should be running for the exit.

Escape from Alcatraz or Hotel California or 8647?

Karl Sanchez's avatar

I broke out of California long ago. Although it's in the wrong key for me, one of my karaoke favs was "Hotel California." I toured Alcatraz as part of a field trip back in the late 1960s. I was born into the 6th Army in San Francisco. Well, I hope 47 will be 86'ed before I pass.

The US has always operated in a perpetual state of amok, from which Israel has known how to exploit it. Anyone who comes to Washington with a wise, feasible, and mutually beneficial peace plan will be immediately rejected and silenced. If, on the other hand, they offer a revolutionary weapon and a war plan, they will be quickly inducted and incorporated into the US military structure. A multimillionaire serial killer, armed to the teeth, and addicted to hegemony. What could possibly go wrong?

A Golden-Dome mushroom cloud with an initial budget of $5 trillion which rises to $10 trillion and keeps America relevant, yet still some time probably light-years away from a hypersonic missile, behind Iran, China and Russia. All bluster, the only dome is inside DJT's diaper and that's also orange in colour turning purple when FLOTUS gives it lip-service on special occasions.

One can only hope that China has the wisdom to curtail any sales of rare-earth elements and Russia their weapons grade uranium to America. Who of sound mind would provide the means of their own potential destruction to an unstable rogue regime?

G'day WTFUD, yes China is blocking the export of rare earth's to the outside world with demands on its exporters to guarantee that the minerals will not end up in US MIC. Latest result Suzuki has shut down their Swift production line alongside Ford's Explorer line I think due to shortage of magnets. Check out Insde China Business for more info. Every which way you look Trumpland seems snookered or kicking own goals. Stupidity would be complimentary.

I think this quote from John F. Kennedy should be inscribed on the frontispiece of the United States Congress:

“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."

thanks karl

i share the pessimism in your closing remarks... ryabkov is clear and on point - a different spokesperson for russia, but also very articulate and incisive in his commentary...

unfortunately the words and actions don't match with regard the usa here.. this is not unusual, but it has become critical and it seems like there is no sense of urgency on the part of the usa to change course here.. instead we get the opposite... it is hard to trust the usa in any regard here..

Thanks for chasing this down and posting Karl, it’s a lot of work. Ryabkov really knows how to express Russia’s determination through his excellent choice of words and phrases. In fact their whole “team” from the top on down is impressive in their stance. Anyway, your efforts are appreciated.
