Russia Graciously Accedes

President Putin gives his blessing to the US acquisition of Greenland:

  • President Putin just dismantled the EU’s grip on Greenland with a “5D Chess” play that gives TRUMP a total free hand.
  • None of our Business” – Putin officially declares Russia won’t interfere, effectively clearing the path for a US-Greenland deal.
  • Putin cites the 1917 land sales between Denmark and the USA as a precedent. If they did it then, why not now?
  • Putin exposes Denmark’s “harsh” and “cruel” treatment of Greenland as a colony, framing the US move as a necessary rescue mission.
  • Putin runs the math: Comparing it to the Alaska purchase ($7.2M in 1867), he calculates Greenland’s value at roughly $200M–$1B in inflation-adjusted gold terms.

If it gets the US out of NATO and the troops out of Europe, then I’m all for it. And it really seems right that President Trump would return the favor with regards to Odessa.

The Retreat From Kiev

Apparently the Kiev regime is on the verge of abandoning Kiev:

The most shocking figure came from mayor Klitschko, who said that just in January alone, 600,000 residents have fled Kiev, with more being urged to flee. Temperatures have fallen as low as ­minus 18C during a cold snap projected to last at least two more weeks.

Other publications quoted Klitschko specifically stating the 600k came in just January from people who heeded his call made on January 9th to evacuate the capital:

Anyone else consider it utterly catastrophic for one of Europe’s largest capitals to lose upwards of 20-25% of its population in literally two weeks? Wiki shows Kiev as having had 2.9M people before the war—we can assume it had even less than that recently. That would make 600k arguably as high as 25% of its total amount—a simply unprecedented number.

Kiev is literally being emptied out, and that this isn’t the biggest story in the world is a bit of a shock. Remember: this 600k is only in the past two weeks, and Russian strikes are getting worse as winter bites. There are now rumors Russia plans to launch two Oreshnik missiles this week, with some Ukrainian sources claiming this time they’ll be aimed at Kiev.

Will we soon see Kiev entirely abandoned?

As I said more than two years ago, if the Kiev regime, which is about as genuinely Ukrainian as Sanae Takaichi, had any concern for the Ukrainian people at all, it would have surrendered. Now it appears they’re going to abandon the capital city while still refusing to permit the Ukrainian Armed Forces from laying down their arms.

In the meantime, the satanic puppets of the EU are posturing about how they’re going to fight both Russia over Ukraine and the USA over Greenland with their as-yet-nonexistent army of vaxxed young men who hate the EU, which strikes me as highly improbable.

The future has turned out to be a lot weirder than I ever imagined.

Greenland for Ukraine

I don’t know why the obvious trade isn’t being discussed by the media, when that’s obviously what’s on the table between the USA and Russia:

Donald Trump has warned the US may pull out of NATO if America’s allies don’t agree to its acquisition of Greenland.

‘Will you pull out of NATO if it doesn’t help you acquire Greenland,’ a reporter asked the president outside the White House on Friday.

Trump warned: ‘We’re going to see. NATO has been dealing with us on Greenland, we need Greenland for national security very badly. If we don’t have it we have a very big hole in terms of national security, especially in terms of the Golden Dome.’

The Golden Dome is a proposed multi-layer missile defense system which the president says is reliant on seizing control of Denmark’s Arctic territory.

Trump earlier threatened to impose tariffs ‘on countries that don’t go along with Greenland’ as he escalated his pressure campaign.

Britain, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden announced yesterday the deployment of small numbers of troops to Greenland in response to Trump’s bellicose rhetoric.

So now, of course, the Europeans are trying to pivot toward Moscow, as they belatedly realize that while Russia is an indirect threat to them, the USA is a direct and material one.

Western European leaders who have spent the last four years flooding Ukraine with every tank, shell, and missile they could get their hands on came out this week in favor of diplomacy and peaceful coexistence with Russia. Was this week a turning point, or just a brief moment of sobriety on the continent?

It’s a turning point because they finally realized that they’re actually going to lose territory to the USA, not to Russia. It’s a masterful stroke by the USA, since there is absolutely nothing Denmark or the EU can do about it, except accept the fait accompli when it happens.

They don’t seem to have ever realized that the end of the fake “rules-based world order” means that no one is going to bother pretending to play by the fake rules anymore.

Oreshnik Take 2

The Russians are increasing the pressure on the Kiev regime:

The Oreshnik was unleashed for the first time since its debut in 2024, and with devastating effect. Preliminary reports state that the Oreshnik hit the Bilche-Volitsko-Uhersky underground gas storage facility, which has a storage capacity of 17.05 billion cubic meters, which is more than 50% of the total capacity of all storage facilities in Ukraine.

Lvov deputy Igor Zinkevich reported that in the Lvov region, the stoves in the kitchen are barely burning, the boilers have gone out and won’t light up – there’s no gas pressure.

The grind continues. The situation is more than a little strange, with the US engaged in asymmetric warfare everywhere from Syria, Iran, and Venezuela to the high seas, while Russia keeps slowly pounding away at the ground game in Ukraine.

Usually the tortoise beats the hare, though.

Russia Moves On Odessa

It appears the Special Military Operation is about to enter a new phase, if the recent activity in the region of Odessa means what one would reasonably assume it to mean:

The biggest story the past week has been Russia’s strikes on the Odessa and Nikolayev region. These have targeted both energy grid infrastructure as well as—most surprisingly—the transport and rail infrastructure, in what appears to be an attempt to cut Odessa off from logistics from the west.

Panic in the Odessa region after the attacks on the bridge over the Dniester near the village of Mayaki. The attacks on the bridge and the bridge in Zatoka have been ongoing for 9 days in a row. The south of the region may be cut off from the last functioning ports, through which gasoline is supplied to the central part of Ukraine and the Odessa region. Local entrepreneurs are already offering to transport people to the other side for 10,000 hryvnias. Panic is spreading on both sides of the bridge, with people buying up fuel and food, and long queues at gas stations in Odessa. Other sources report that the “fever” will last for 1-2 weeks, until logistics are reorganized through Moldova and Romania. By that time, pontoon crossings may appear in Mayaki.

As for the swings and roundabouts, these sorts of small advances and retreats such as Simplicius describes at Kupyansk mean absolutely nothing beyond PR for the media. If the media covered the Paul-Joshua fight the same way they cover the NATO-Russian war, they’d be breathlessly announcing that Paul had turned everything around and was about to knock out Joshua every time he got a punch in.

In war, as in boxing, no one goes unscathed. And the only reason the media believes otherwise is that it still thinks that turkey shoots in the desert with air supremacy are the definition of modern war, and nothing could be further from the truth in the Drone Age.

Why the EU is Panicking

Hal Turner explains why the EU was holding its failed summit yesterday, at which Ursula van der Leyen failed to convince the member states to declare war on Russia by stealing its frozen funds. The problem is that the EU is going to have to return those funds soon, and they’re already being used to prop up loans that will now have to be written off as complete losses, which is going to cause a lot of financial pain to someone:

The United States has notified the European Union that it wants frozen Russian sovereign assets incorporated into a negotiated settlement of the Ukraine war.

That position immediately exposes a major problem for Brussels.

Europe has already functionally collateralized Russian central bank assets — not through formal seizure, but by pledging windfall profits and future proceeds from those assets to support long-term financing and loan structures for Ukraine.

This has been publicly acknowledged in EU and G7 policy frameworks over the past year.

That financing model was built on a core assumption: Either the war would continue indefinitely, or Russia would be decisively defeated.

A negotiated peace breaks that assumption.

Once the United States asserts that frozen Russian assets must be treated as part of a settlement framework, rather than permanent war financing, several consequences follow. The EU’s legal justification weakens, the collateral underpinning those loans becomes unstable, and the long-standing claim that the asset freeze is “temporary” becomes difficult to sustain.

This is not merely a diplomatic disagreement. It is a forced accounting event — one with potential implications for Euroclear, EU financial institutions, and member-state balance sheets.

This context helps explain recent developments in Brussels. Over the past days and weeks, EU leadership has moved rapidly to bypass vetoes, expand emergency authorities, and escalate rhetoric — including renewed NATO statements about preparing for wider conflict.

The underlying strategy appears straightforward: Treat frozen Russian assets as a de facto war chest.

In practice, that step had already been taken through collateralization, even if formal seizure was avoided.

President Trump is now explicitly challenging that structure.

By calling this out, he undermines the financial logic that sustained the war.

All of the bluster and posturing will not disguise the fact that NATO has already lost its war with Russia. The Russians now know that there is no ceasefire or negotiated peace agreement that can be trusted, which is why I expect them to make demands that none of the Western parties want to accept, even though they should.

Frankly, I’m surprised that the Russians are even willing to talk to anyone, given the way they have been relentlessly lied to by everyone, including formerly neutral parties. If I were Putin, I would simply smile politely and grind on until I had exactly what I wanted, then impose a peace agreement with steel teeth.

UPDATE: EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, announced that Europe had decided they could provide another $90 Billion in assistance to Ukraine, that Europe “will raise from Capital Markets.” So the Europeans are going into hock for Ukraine, to the tune of about $90 Billion.

The EU Threatens DC

Why does anyone believe these unelected Satanic would-be world rulers are on anyone’s side, or even remotely in line with American national interests. And they desperately need to be feeling the back side of the President’s pimp hand.

The EU’s pro-war, globalist, anti-American leaders are doing everything in their power—including weighing what’s being called a “nuclear option” of deliberately shaking the foundations of the U.S. economy—to block a peace settlement in Ukraine, even as President Trump advances direct negotiations aimed at finally ending the nearly four-year-long inter-Slavic war.

According to reports, the globalist bloc in Europe is threatening to sell-off $2.34 trillion in US Treasury holdings if Trump withdraws support for Ukraine—an action that some analysts claim could  trigger a downturn more severe than the 2008 crash.

Rather than welcoming diplomacy, EU officials are allegedly weighing economic retaliation if Trump dares to end the war on his own terms. Sources say some governments have floated the idea of dumping portions of their massive holdings of U.S. debt as a form of pressure.

Such a move would be a dramatic escalation—essentially an attempt to destabilize the American economy to keep the Ukraine conflict alive. Analysts note this financial “nuclear option” could send shockwaves through global markets and severely devalue the dollar.

European technocrats appear willing to risk worldwide turmoil to preserve their geopolitical ambitions. Their threat reflects how far the EU has drifted from serving its citizens and how committed it remains to endless confrontation with Russia.

First of all, the economic crisis is going to take place regardless. Second, if I were President Trump, I would inform them that any such action would be perceived as an act of war and that they would no longer have to worry about a Russian invasion of Western Europe because the US troops already there would be seizing the central banks of the EU and every member state that supported the Commission’s action, as well as arresting all of the leaders responsible for it.

Better yet, paraphrase President Chappell:

EU, you have a problem with that? You know what you should do? You should sanction me. Sanction me with your army. Oh, wait a minute, you don’t have an army! I guess that means you need to shut the fuck up. That’s what I would do if I didn’t have no army. I would SHHH… the fuck up. Shut the fuck UP!

A Little Late for That

The top British military officer is under the misapprehension that anyone in Britain is going to fight for the British government given the way the last few British governments have been actively seeking to destroy the English nation:

British families must be prepared to send their sons and daughters to war against Russia, the head of the military has warned.

In a stark message, Chief of the Defence Staff Air Chief Marshal Sir Richard Knighton said ‘more people’ needed to be ready to take up arms to protect the country.

He explained that although the chances of a direct Russian attack on UK soil remain remote, that ‘does not mean the chances are zero’. Sir Richard called for schools to encourage children to take up jobs in the arms industry and said more British families will ‘know what sacrifice for our nation means’.

Well, they won’t be. If there is one lesson, it is this: if your government tries to force you to make the choice, go to war with your government, not the Russian Army.

Your chances of survival are much, much better.

Besides that, we’ve seen that the British military hasn’t been able to stop an unarmed invasion of ten million. They obviously couldn’t stop a nationwide rebellion of British nationalists either.

8,200+ comments. The following are among the top-rated:

  • What is he smoking, if he thinks we going to fight wars for the rich, i’d sooner turn my weapons on them before taking up arms against our russian brothers and sisters.
  • Fight for governments that care little for its citizens instead pander to accommodating non British people and of course politicians grabbing all the wealth they can so no definitely not.
  • No F way are you taking my sons
  • No thanks – I wouldn’t vote for Labour let alone fight for their version of Britain. It’s not worth fighting for now.
  • Fight for a country that won’t even let you raise the flag, no thanks .

The Time is Now

A comical “warning” of war from the current NATO head:

NATO chief Mark Rutte has warned that war with Russia ‘is at our door’ as he urged European allies to prepare for action now or risk facing a conflict on the scale ‘our grandparents and great-grandparents endured’.

Speaking in Berlin on Thursday, Rutte said too many NATO members remained ‘quietly complacent’ about the threat posed by Moscow and insisted Europe must urgently ramp up defence spending and weapons production to deter Vladimir Putin.

‘We are Russia’s next target,’ he said. I fear that too many are quietly complacent. Too many don’t feel the urgency. And too many believe that time is on our side. It is not. The time for action is now.’

The only reason “the time for action is now” is because in five years, the USA isn’t going to be a member of NATO. NATO may or may not still exist as a rudimentary parody of a transnational military force, but regardless, time is not on the side of either NATO or the EU because in five years, both China and Russia are going to be stronger in both economic and military terms, the USA will be trying to survive its self-inflicted demographic shocks and maintaining its preeminence in the Western hemisphere, and the European militaries won’t even be able to control their own populations.

So NATO can lose now or lose later. It makes zero difference. The smartest thing these Clown World puppets could do is surrender preemptively to Russia and stop constantly poking both the Bear and the Dragon. Doing so is in the interest of them and the European nations alike. But they won’t be permitted to do so, which is why we’re going to have to endure this charade for another few years.

Clown World is Buying Time

But for what, exactly? Or is this just the pointless floundering of those desperate to stave off the inevitable until the last possible moment, like an NFL coach calling timeout with less than a minute less when his team is down by 21 points?

It’s no surprise that Simplicius concludes what most of us also thought: the latest so-called “peace plan” is just more Trump administration pettifogging.

We can conclude that the initial read from the very beginning—that this entire ‘peace plan’ charade is nothing more than empty blather—was in fact correct. The Russian side views the various schemes as little else than extremely preliminary starting points for the serious discussions to take place long after.

Putin did again mention in his new presentation that Russia was open to stopping hostilities if Ukrainian forces left Donetsk and Lugansk; I’ve already described before the game-theoretic value of Putin’s gambit on this count, as Russia has virtually nothing to lose to offer this.

Apart from all this back and forth, the war continues as before—nothing has changed. In fact, my operative theory now is that the MSM makes a big deal of this empty spectacle for one purpose only: to use it as a smokescreen to cover the rapid advances and victories of the Russian Armed Forces. By clogging the news cycle with this vapid ‘settlement’ business that is clear to everyone will go no where, mainstream corporate press outlets get to bury the real lede of Russia’s mounting triumphs and the AFU’s consequent collapse.

At this point, the only directive from the corporate cabal that controls both the global MSM outlets and the fascist EU apparatus is: buy more time at all costs.

The absolute lack of concern for the lives of the Ukrainian soldiery on the part of the Kiev regime would be shocking, if the reason for it wasn’t so obvious. Never accept foreign rulers, because they really, truly, don’t give even a fragment of a damn about the people, much less the national interest.
