In an inadvertent attempt to recoup his prestige in time for the mid term elections, President Donald Trump canceled the public execution of Nidel Malik Hasan which was scheduled for December 3rd.   The execution will take place but just not with thousands of public witnesses.

You may have noticed that since the US  and Russia agreed on their diesel deal, there has  been a spat with President Trump calling out President Zelensky.   Trump announced for all the world to hear “that’s a war that should have never started  and I think it’s time for Ukraine to get a new president.”     

Trump was exactly correct to assert that the Ukraine war was not an adequate reason for beginning a war.  But it wasn’t so long ago that candidate Trump promised to end the Ukraine war in ‘day one’ which he failed to do.   

To reiterate;  the war began because the US failed to recognize a 1990 agreement between Secretary of State Baker and President Bush that NATO would never be allowed to ‘move not one inch eastward”  to the Ukraine – Russian Border. 

So despite belief that the war was wrong, every American administration since Trump  has continued to supply Ukraine with American money and weapons and intel info and targeting and whatever else they needed to keep their ugly wars going.   

And after the war was well underway, Trump told Zelensky “we said do whatever you want to Russia but don’t hit their refineries because that’s a world problem” but Zelensky did not listen so he continued to keep bombing Russian infrastructure, energy fixtures and civilians.            

In other words, the point here is that Trump had opportunity to get that war off his back and instead the President kept playing the game.  And then there’ the Alaska Summit with Putin when a deal could have been agreed to end the war but still – no deal.   

At the time, Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov uttered the words that will live on to describe  that the President is ‘incapable of agreement’ and we see today that same Presidential dynamic in Iran that same ‘incapable’ agreement.

At the same time that President Trump is bragging on his diesel deal with Putin, certain that he has saved the mid term election with his stroke of political brilliance, Russian Data Centers are being bombed.   

No fewer than three drone attacks on Yandex data centers in four days, which took three of the company’s six data centers offline, with one receiving considerable damage and knocked out two Russian super computers.  

The question is who is doing the bombing while asking the essential question does Trump  know the bombing of the Russian data centers occurred.   And whether Trump had an knowledge of the bombings or gave the Order to begin the Bombing.

On Wednesday, it was reported  by Deputy Prime Minister Aleksandr Novak that Ukraine hit two Russian refineries despite Trump’s demands.

It is believes that US efforts is being guided by Eric Schmidt, former Google CEO.  Schmidt is directly involved in developing and managing a U.S. counter‑drone system, the Merops interceptor.  

Schmidt’s has his own defensive initiative, Perennial Autonomy, which has secured major U.S. Army contracts and is deployed in NATO and Middle East operations. Backed by Schmidt’s long standing relationship with the Pentagon has been shaped by combat data from Ukraine as well as Iranian made Shahed munitions.

Schmidt also chairs U.S. AI‑national‑security advisory bodies and has been active bridging Silicon Valley and the Pentagon through advisory roles and investments.

So the question remains: while US and Russia shake hands over the deal for diesel,  who is bombing those Data Centers? Did President Trump give the Order to Bomb those sites

Iullia Mendel, former Secretary to Zelensky provided recent testimony to Tucker Carlson and pod caster Daniel Davis.   Mendel talked of how without peace, the Ukraine people are looking at extinction and that she believed that Zelensky is the best obstacle to peace today.

In  what was once the largest country in Europe estimated at approximately 30 million, its current population is difficult to determine but is estimated at 10 – 20,000.  

She pointed out that Zelensky cancelled elections and did not believe Ukraine was ready for democracy and that he campaigned  promising that he would beg in front of Putin to give peace to Ukraine.  

He campaigned as a peace candidate and conducted personal conversations  in 2019 with Putin and promised Ukraine would never want to become a part of NATO .   

She said that Zelensky was like Goebbels and needed to repeat propaganda like a ‘thousand talk heads’.  While  Ukraine received $5.5 billion from the IMF, there was also a grant from the EU.  No one knew how much it was worth. 

In addition, Zelensky would deliberately prolong the conflict.  He avoided holding elections because he afraid he would lose and mentioned that he did like to read.   He has repeatedly postponed elections as his term in office expired Spring 2024.  He has since declared martial law to avoid election.  

Mendel told the story about British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss 2021-2022  told  Zelensky  that Britain’s aim was for the war to continue for as long as possible; that their desire was  to bleed the Russians out .  The price would be the nation of Ukraine   

She spoke of Boris Johnson and the Istanbul peace meeting in 2022.  There is no freedom of speech in Ukraine    She said Zelensky is “not a guy of substance.” 

She felt both Biden and Zelensky had mental problems regarding  how to deal with  40 Million people and questioned how politicians justify war?   Zelensky has had two chances to end the war. She  reported that she never saw him take drugs. 

And lastly, Tucker gave her an opportunity to tape a video to Vladimir Putin.

As an example of how some media can twist or manipulate the issues, Rick presented a journalist interview of Zelensky.  

The Journalist explained to Zelensky :   ‘It’s not just President Trump; we  also heard from Elon Musk who said  ‘Zelensky has gone too far;’     

The journalist conducting  the interview then asked to Zelensky   “Why are they blaming you for the continuation of this war?”

Rick Sanchez of RT News replayed a question he asked Putin at last year’s  Economic Forum in Valdai.   

“You talked about Minsk, you were ready to deal.   You talked about Istanbul, You were ready to deal.  You talked about Anchorage, you had a compromise you were all but ready to agree to.   In all those instances you seem to be turned down.  So my question is given how many times, you Sir you have been turned down and given what’s going on right now in this conflict, why should you negotiate?”

With a wide, friendly smile, Putin responded   ‘after this question, I don’t have to answer’   with a laugh.
