Now that the summit between the Neo-Tsar and the God-Emperor in Alaska is over and done with, and at least a day has elapsed since all that kicked off, we can now take a moment to step back and assess things a bit more dispassionately. Personally, I never had any particularly high hopes for it, simply because it has been obvious for the past six months that President Trump has absolutely no clue why the Banderastan War kicked off in the first place – and what part he, personally, played in making it happen, despite his numerous protestations to the contrary.

That being said, the summit meeting between the two was not at all a waste of time. Sure, there was a lot of very friendly backslapping sentiment coming out of it, and sure, it was a triumph of style over substance – indeed, there is little evidence of any serious substance at all coming out of the discussion.

However, the fact remains that when the world’s two most powerful nuclear powers are in a conflict, and when one of them is essentially a co-belligerent in a proxy war against the other, it is a VERY GOOD THING for the MFICs of each one to meet and talk face-to-face in a cordial and respectful manner, as the presser afterwards showed:

Indeed, in many respects, the summit was actually a triumph for both Putin and Trump, because the US has – for now – dramatically changed its tune about ceasefires. The talk is now about achieving a comprehensive and lasting peace agreement – which is an entirely different matter, and a much harder slog to achieve, but which might actually give the US and Russia what both need and want.

It is important to note that a ceasefire agreement was always completely unworkable, for multiple reasons.

First, the realities of the battlefield make a ceasefire highly impractical – Ukraine is definitively losing the war now, and Russia is within spitting distance of collapsing the entire defensive line that the Ukies spent 8 years building up in Donbass. Russia is breaking through in Pokrovsk – the fall of that strategically important logistics hub is now a matter of days away. They are also encircling Konstantinovka to the north-east. Once the Pokrovsk cauldron collapses in on itself and the city falls, Konstantinovka will fall quickly thereafter. And that will then put the last two major cities in the Donetsk region still under Ukrainian control – the Slavyansk-Kramatorsk agglomeration – under unbearable pressure.

Farther north and east, the Russians are rapidly breaking through on other fronts. Seversk is in danger of falling to them – which is a town the Russians never managed to capture back in 2022, despite claiming they did several times. They are also now close to recapturing Kupyansk in the Kharkov region, which would be a catastrophic reversal of fortune for the Ukies, given they expended roughly a DIVISION’S worth of men trying to chase the Russians out of that region three years ago.

The Russian Army is also breaking through in Zaporozh’ye and Dniepropetrovsk regions. They are advancing in the Kharkov region. They have liberated all of Lugansk – except for a teeny tiny bit of forest somewhere at the very edge of the borders. The Russians have established a tempo and rhythm of murderous assbeat that has no analogue in recent warfare – I am talking about within the last 50 years – and they are innovating and playing around at the tactical and operational level in ways that would leave Western military planners aghast with shock, if only they would pay attention.

Put simply, Ukraine has no hope of resisting for longer than a few more months, before its military, demoralised, undermanned, exhausted, and critically short of men, simply collapses in on itself. It is already happening. And WHEN – not if – that happens, the Russians will have nothing stopping them from going all the way to Kiev itself, if they must.

Under such circumstances, a ceasefire is of no interest to the Russians. Nor should it be. Ceasefires only make sense when BOTH sides in a conflict need breathing space and time to recuperate. In this case, only one side has that need.

Second, and much more importantly, the Russians know perfectly well that they cannot trust the Ukrainians or their Western backers to keep their word around a ceasefire. The Ukrainians have broken every single ceasefire the Russians have ever proposed. Back when Ornj Boi ascended to the Cherry Blossom Throne earlier this year and called up the Neo-Tsar to talk about a truce on strikes against energy facilities, the Russians scrupulously adhered to that moratorium – but the Ukies broke it almost instantly.

Third, the European powers who make up that ridiculous “coalition of the willing” have already declared their clear intention to use a 30-day unconditional ceasefire to deploy actual ground force into Ukraine – ostensibly to “keep the peace”, but in reality to provoke the Russians into breaking that ceasefire. This is a transparent and obvious provocation, and the Russians are not fooled in the slightest. They know quite well that the Euroweenies will do everything possible to stage some kind of “false flag” event, blame the Russians, and then use that as an excuse to invoke NATO’s infamously stupid “Article 5”.

This would then drag the United States of America kicking and screaming into the war, deploying American assets and ground troops directly into an armed confrontation with Russia.

That is a war America would LOSE, within a few months. The Russians would certainly take fearsome casualties for the first couple of weeks due to American air power – but, given their vast superiority in air defence, their overwhelming superiority in long-range stand-off hypersonic strike weapons, and the near-total lack of logistical depth on the American side, they would eventually inflict a crushing military defeat on the US.

The implications of that are horrifying, because we know what would happen immediately afterwards: the US would go nuclear. It is the only logical outcome of a war like that. Unlike the Americans, though, the Russians recognise full well that there is no such thing as a “tactical” nuclear weapon. A nuclear war would go from “tactical” to “strategic” to “Armageddon”, in the space of about a day or less.

And we would ALL be DEAD within a month.

For these reasons, and a few others besides, a ceasefire is completely pointless and totally unworkable. It is very much to the good that Drumpf has apparently abandoned this nonsense.

Instead, he appears to be much more interested in pushing for a general peace deal, one that settles the conflict on terms that the Ukrainians and Russians can both live with.

On this, of course, he will be unsuccessful. The MINIMAL set of Russian demands, with which the Neo-Tsar would be willing to draw up and sign a peace agreement with Ukraine and the Western powers in general, consist of the key points he raised in his June 14, 2024, speech to the Foreign Ministry Academy of Russia. Simply put, they are as follows:

• Recognition by Ukraine that Crimea, Lugansk, Donetsk, Zaporozh’ye, and Kherson regions are ALL part of Russia, according to their administrative borders at the time of Ukraine’s independence in 1991;
• Renunciation of all future claims to these territories;
• Abandonment of any and all interests in joining NATO;
• Fundamental declaration of neutrality by Ukraine – returning, effectively, to its 1991 constitution;
• Demilitarisation of Ukraine;
• Respect for the rights of Russian-speaking inhabitants of Ukrainian lands;
• Removal of ALL Western-imposed sanctions;

The Neo-Tsar might be willing to budge on a couple of these points – particularly around sanctions, since the Russians literally no longer care what the West does, and have effectively sanction-proofed their entire country and economy. Indeed, if you actually look at GDP at purchasing power parity (PPP) for Russia, and you compare it with the rest of Western Europe… it turns out the Russians are now at about the same level as many Western Europeans.

(Their economy is now producing, annually, just shy of US$7 TRILLION at PPP levels. This makes them the fourth largest economy in the world. They have a population of about 150 million, give or take. Divide one by the other, and you get a GDP PPP per capita of around US$46K per year. That makes them better off than about half the countries in Europe. And once you strip out the effects of banking and financialisation on the European economies, which severely skew the GDP PPP per capita figures to the right, you realise that Russians are living BETTER, on the whole, than most people in southern Europe – and, indeed, than many people in Britain or France. That is a sobering fact. It is one that most of the West still does not understand.)

Sanctions aside, those other points are non-negotiable from a Russian perspective. They will not budge. Indeed, every indication is that the Neo-Tsar DID NOT BUDGE during his meeting with Drumpf. There was tremendous speculation going into the summit meeting that Putin would somehow bend and agree to sell out Kherson and Zaporozh’ye, in exchange for all of Lugansk and Donetsk. This, in fact, was the greatest fear of the Russian people.

Westerners do not, as a general rule, understand who and what President Putin is. They think he is a tyrant and a dictator, a maniacal, ruthless autocrat who controls every last aspect of Russian society and the economy. This is a ridiculous caricature with absolutely zero basis in reality. President Putin is in fact the leader and final decision maker of a very complex, powerful, yet distributed structure of federated government. He is accountable to the Russian people in ways that almost no European or Western politician is. His government operates based on fundamental constitutional laws – which might sound strange to a European, but I have personally witnessed a Russian Federal Constitutional election, and I can say with absolute certainty that the Russians DO, in fact, care about the law.

More than that, President Putin is literally the only moderate left in the entire Russian government.

Everyone around him is now effectively more or less a hardliner. Most of them want nothing to do with the effete, weak, degenerate West. They hate Europe and Europeans, and they have very dim opinions of Americans. They treat the US government with respect, as they must treat any nuclear-armed superpower – but they have unrestrained contempt for the sheer chaos, stupidity, and shallow-mindedness of most American politicians.

So the Neo-Tsar did not sell out the Russian people, as they feared. This was a big win for him. The Russians do not want to see a repeat of the Minsk agreements, or of the Istanbul agreement in 2022. They have had a bellyful of Western lies and broken promises. Most Russians today – even the so-called “liberals”, of which there are still a few left in Russia – want to see the war ended in an outright victory for their people and their country.

They have sacrificed too much, spilled too much blood, seen too many of their fathers and brothers and sons die, to settle for anything less.

And anything less than the entirety of the four regions, would be considered a grave betrayal of Russia, and a disgrace to the Russian people.

The single greatest fear of the Russian soldier, and the average Russian civilian, is that Putin will buckle and fall for another Western ruse. That did not happen. Putin did not budge, and the Russian government remained utterly immovable. From a Russian perspective, this summit was a MAJOR victory.

What about from an American perspective?

Well, Trump didn’t lose, that is for sure. He came away looking like the peacemaker that he styles himself to be. Never mind that his government continues to supply arms, ammunition, and intelligence to the Ukrainians – to kill Russians. Never mind that he is now fully responsible for a catastrophic and failing war. It is all on him. He owns it. But he came away looking as though he has the makings of a real statesman, rather than a New York real estate shyster and blowhard.

Unfortunately, if you watch the full press conference, you will see that he could not help himself, and continued to bloviate using the same stupid cliches about how America is the hottest country in the world right now, and has the number one nuclear arsenal, and so on and so forth. It’s all nonsense, and Donny-boy should know better.

But we can forgive him for all of that, because he did what the Fake President and the Western European leaders have so far refused to do:

He met with President Putin, and he heard what the Russians have to say, with at least a modicum of humility and respect.

That, really, is all we can ask for at this point.

However, make no mistake, he also took some major losses. He did not get his ceasefire. Nor did he get any concessions whatsoever from the Russians. That is almost certainly why he cut the meeting short – for, despite the friendly smiles and effusive gratitude, the fact is that the summit was supposed to go into a working lunch after the three-hour discussion. That did not happen. This is almost certainly because Trump came away realising how weak his hand is, and how immovable the Russians are.

So, from there, he went straight to the presser, said what he said, and then the two leaders parted ways – on, it must be said, quite amicable terms.

There is nothing particularly bad about any of this. Trump must at some point come to realise that he has no cards to play against the Russians, who literally do not care what America thinks or wants any longer. He must understand that, if he persists in following the Zioclown plan, he will risk plunging the FUSA into a war that can only end in disaster, and which can only escalate to the nuclear level after that.

We will see what Trump does next. His vanity, narcissism, and deep insecurity, make him highly susceptible to the opinions of the last person with whom he speaks. This time, it was President Putin, who probably set him straight on a fair few things and gave him the Russian point of view. But, if Drumpf talks to his golfing buddy, Lady Graham the Hairy Fairy from South Carolina, over a round or two of golf tomorrow, then he might come out on Monday saying the exact opposite of what he said on Friday.

This is the big worry with Trump. He lacks any coherent strategy or vision for foreign policy. Everything is “shoot from the lip”, and damn the consequences. It is a totally unserious approach to dealing with the world – and when one finds oneself dealing with a serious, stolid, pragmatic people, like the Russians, who DO NOT BLUFF, one cannot simply bullshit one’s way out of trouble.

Trump’s greatest asset is his ability to charm and bullshit people. It is also his greatest liability. This will not work against the Russians, or the Chinese, or anyone else with a serious economy and a real military.

As for the Ukrainians – well, they are lunch. No one cares what they think. One way or another, Bellendsky will be told what to sign and where. He has now been summoned to the White House to meet his master, who will tell him exactly what the terms are for Ukraine’s surrender to Russia. There is no point sugar-coating any of this – that is what Monday’s meeting between the God-Emperor and the Narcofuehrer is really all about.

Bellendsky will be told what the Russians want. He will throw a strop and refuse, claiming the Europeans back him up. The Europeans likewise will be outraged and claim they stand with Ukraine to the end.

Nothing will come out of any of it. The war will drag on, and Russia will settle all of this on the battlefield.

What then?

Well, Ukraine collapses and dies. Russia takes all of the four regions, plus as much of whatever is left of Ukraine as it wants and needs – hopefully including all the way up to Odessa and toward Transnistria, on the Moldovan border. The Black Sea becomes a Russian lake once more.

And, if there is any justice in this world, Bellendsky and his entire gang of corrupt cronies will be arrested, beaten, lined up against a wall, and shot. Or, even better, sentenced to spend the rest of their miserable pathetic lives slaving away in a Siberian death-camp.

Thanks to them, 1.5-2 million Ukrainians, and about 120,000 Russians, are DEAD. We have no idea how many American, British, Polish, Romanian, Colombian, and other “mercenaries” have also died. Over 30,000 civilians, going all the way back to 2014 and the start of the Ukraine Crisis, have died on both sides.

Bellendsky and his whole gang deserve to be spit-roasting on Satan’s barbecue in Hell for their part in letting all of that happen.

Sadly, none of that will likely come true. Bellendsky and his crew will more likely flee Ukraine, carrying billions in cash, with billions more stashed in offshore bank accounts, to form a “government in exile”, living in luxury in London or Monaco or somewhere on the French Riviera, supported by the same corrupt European Clown World governments that enabled and supported this war. They impoverished and destroyed their own countries in the process, but hey, who cares, right?

As for Europe itself – well, they are arguably the worst off.

Literally no one cares what happens to Europe. It is a crack-whore, a slap-bitch that the US government can bend over a barrel and rape at will – because Europe put itself in that position. Europe is LUNCH for the US. If the US government needs to break Europe’s independence and enslave its people so that the Americans can eat, then that is exactly what will happen.

And the Europeans will let it happen, because they are a bunch of spineless contemptible pathetic cowards and losers.

If you are European and that offends you, all I can say is: explain why you keep electing the same pack of idiots to govern you. This is YOUR FAULT. You are responsible. Stop blaming your problems on the Russians or the Americans, and DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

All in all, this summit meeting between Trump and Putin really was a tale told by an orange idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing, to paraphrase Macbeth. Very little that is truly useful or game-changing will come out of it, but it is good and right that the two nuclear superpowers should continue to talk and engage with each other.

Of course, the fact that Russia is now the world’s pre-eminent military superpower, and the US is a rapidly fading and collapsing empire, rather turns the tables on things. But such is the world we live in.

I leave you with various analyses of the summit meeting that delve into greater detail about the points I discussed above – all are well worth watching.
