Before the election, Tucker Carlson asked Putin if he had a preference for Trump. Putin said that he would prefer someone who is predictable ! He clearly saw the problem with Trump.

Boris Johnson used to proclaim loudly that it was an unprovoked war on a sovereign nation, and it is an attack on the rules based international order the west claims to have built, which they flout themselves (Iraq war on WMDs that did not exist, support of Israel's apartheid state). That is the standard western narrative. In 2024, as Johnson saw defeat inching closer, he gave an interview in the Daily Telegraph saying defeat to Russia would be the end of western hegemony. That is what is troubling all western people. Their rules based order by which they dictated to others and which they used to evade themselves when it came to the non-west, is crumbling. The fear of the end of western hegemony is what makes the west desperate about Ukraine.

American understanding of WW 2 is indeed through the Nazi generals the US recruited like Manstein who wrote a book called 'Lost victories'. Stalingrad would have been German victory if not such and such mistake was not made. Manstein and the Nazi generals wrote books trying to say that their defeat was not due to the Red Army being better. That is the same attitude that pervades NATO. NATO is superior and Russians cannot fight.

I learnt something from Baab which you would not from corporate media. The US capitalism drives agricultural business (Monsanto, Cargill etc.) to control food production in Europe; indeed, they would like it worldwide, they pressure India and other countries to surrender to US companies, but they don't. US agro business already owns 30% of Ukraine's agricultural land, even before the war. The EU's farming sector will be put out of business by US agribusiness in Ukraine if it joined the EU. That will be end of food security for Europe. The mineral deal means there will be transfer of wealth from Europe to the US - the same model the US uses with the Arabs. The Ukrainians have been suckered to fight Russia for the US and surrender their wealth to the US. The The Europeans have also been suckered to fight Russia for the US and surrender their wealth to the US. Neither understand it.

Very clear take aways : America has a huge debt problem, it has to borrow money to pay its the interest on past debt - a Ponzi scheme. It could do by enforcing the Arabs by military force to sell oil ONLY in dollars. Much international trade was in dollars, so its value was high. Tariffs means higher prices for US consumers. Recreating traditional industries in the US is not possible - he explained by the wages in India and China. A high dollar value makes manufacturing in the US impossible. If people do not want to buy US debt and treasuries, higher interest rates are needed, then US govt. has to shell out more interest, which means less services. The danger is the US will blame China and every one else, and resort to war.

And the worst is British and French elites are now demanding Germany to re-arm to save them from Russia ! If Germany re-armed and became nationalistic, then German military might cannot be used against Russia and US, but it can be used against Poland !

'Zelensky didn't try to prevent the conflict through diplomacy because he lacks honor and integrity.' He is not a free man. The Ukrainians sold themselves to the US in 2014.
