How The Trump Family Plans To Make Money By Selling Ukraine Out To Russia​

Dec 4, 2025
Trump's plans for Ukraine appear to be all about enriching himself. In a great expose in the Financial Times, we have learnt exactly how they plan to sell out Ukraine and pile up the cash for the Trump and Witkoff families, all which I outline in this video.

"...Warned during a leaked call..." LOL Yes, the US and Russia are the decision makers. The EU would like to be considered as Rainmakers, but they're order takers... clerks if you will on the world stage. Vassals of the US waiting to be told where to stand.

Sham negotiations because the EU is being pushed to the side. They're nobodies. They're broke. Their economies are in the tank. They screwed the pooch with regards to energy and now their manufacturing base is declining because they can no longer compete.
 
Games being played ?
Most likely a way to create plausible deniability and for nato to supply such missile capabilities to Ukraine
Russia knows or finds out pretty quickly where such activities are taking place and has the means to degrade
Possible that a uk soldiers death, announced earlier this week, was associated with this sort of operation…..

Huge SHOCK to LONDON: RUSSIA Captured Fighters of the UK's Elite Special Air Service (SAS) in SUMY​

It's also worth noting the unique operation of the Russian spetsnaz behind enemy lines in the Sumy region. In particular, near the village of 'Sadki', Russian spetsnaz wiped out a group of Ukrainian and British soldiers from such elite special forces as the GUR and SAS (Special Air Service). Furthermore, it is reported that during this operation, Russian spetsnaz also managed to capture three wounded British fighters. It is noteworthy that Russia attacked Ukrainian and British forces in the Sumy region right after the British reconnaissance aircraft RC-135W helped Ukraine attack another Russian civilian vessel in the Black Sea.

Russian Central Bank Sues Euroclear As EU Tries To Ram Through Assets Seizure​

In what could prove a well-timed preemptive attack and shot across the bow, Russia’s Central Bank (CBR) announced Friday it has initiated legal action against Euroclear, one of Europe's largest securities depositories, which is holding 185 billion euros ($217 billion) of Russia’s frozen sovereign assets.

The CBR has filed a lawsuit against the Belgium-based bank in the Moscow Arbitration Court over "illegal actions" - just as European Union leadership is making a move to approve a plan to fund the Ukrainian government for the next years by using income from the Russian assets immobilized under EU sanctions.

"Euroclear’s actions caused harm to the Bank of Russia by preventing it from managing the funds and securities that belong to it," the Russian Central Bank said in the statement. The lawsuit seeks compensation for losses as a result of Euroclear indefinitely blocking access to the funds.

After Putin claims Ukrainian troops were surrounded, Zelensky shows up and posts selfies​

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky came up with a simple and effective way to combat Russian President Vladimir Putin’s claims that Ukrainian troops in Kupiansk were surrounded — show up in person and post selfies.

The Kremlin has been claiming for weeks that Russian troops had recaptured Kupiansk, a city in the Kharkiv Oblast in northeastern Ukraine near the border with Russia — claims that Ukraine has repeatedly disputed.

SHOCKING: Russia Opens a New Front — NATO Has No Answer | John Mearsheimer​

While the eyes of the world are fixed on Ukraine, Russia has quietly opened a new strategic front that has caught NATO completely off guard. This isn't about troop movements or missile silos—it's about a fundamental restructuring of global power that renders Western containment strategies obsolete.

In this video, we analyze the geopolitical shift happening in the Caucasus, where Moscow is finalizing a "North-South Corridor" to bypass Western sanctions and encircle NATO's periphery. We explore why the Alliance’s traditional tools—economic sanctions and military expansion—are backfiring, leading to a phenomenon known as "Imperial Liquidation."

Using the lens of offensive realism (often associated with scholars like John Mearsheimer), we break down why Washington and Brussels are paralyzed, why Turkey is playing both sides, and what the rise of this new Eurasian super-economy means for the future of Western hegemony.

Why this matters: The structure of the international system is shifting beneath our feet. As the West faces "strategic exhaustion," rival powers are building parallel institutions that don't rely on the Dollar or Western choke points. This analysis explains the mechanics of that transition.

Ukraine's Zelenskiy ditches NATO ambition ahead of peace talks​

BERLIN/KYIV, Dec 14 (Reuters) - Ukraine has relinquished its ambition of joining the NATO military alliance in exchange for Western security guarantees as a compromise to end the war with Russia, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said ahead of talks with U.S. envoys in Berlin.

The move marks a major shift for Ukraine, which has fought to join NATO as a safeguard against Russian attacks and has such an aspiration included in its constitution. It also meets one of Russia's war aims, although Kyiv has so far held firm against ceding territory to Moscow.

Zelenskiy said on Sunday that the U.S., and European and other partners' security guarantees instead of NATO membership was a compromise on Ukraine's side.
