Trump Cuts Off Zelensky Allowance As Vance Slams “Moralistic Garbage” Supporting Ukraine

By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers

A thought-provoking new Security Council (SC) report circulating in the Kremlin today first noting Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev exclaimed after President Donald Trump slammed Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky for being an unelected dictator: “A dictator without elections, Zelensky better move fast or he is not going to have a country left…If you’d told me just three months ago that these were the words of the US president, I would have laughed out loud…Donald Trump is 200% right”, says Secretary of State Marco Rubio then revealed: “President Trump is very upset at President Zelensky – and rightfully so” and National Security Advisor Mike Waltz declared: “President Trump is obviously very frustrated right now with President Zelensky”—all of which was just joined with the news:”The United States is opposing calling Russia the aggressor in the war with Ukraine in a Group of 7 statement being drafted to mark the third anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion”.

Earlier today, this report notes, the Wall Street Journal revealed: “The Trump administration is stepping up its push for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to hand mineral rights worth hundreds of billions of dollars to the U.S., after Zelensky’s initial rejection of the demand fueled President Trump’s escalating broadsides against Ukraine’s leader”—and was a revelation followed by Ukrainian parliament member Artyom Dmitruk warning: “It is an issue on which Zelensky has once again fooled the whole world, and, more specifically, Donald Trump and his team…First, all of these resources, the rare-earth minerals, are currently located on the territories with active combat…Second, no one can say what the price of extracting these resources will be…If these precious resources could have been mined so easily and on such a large scale as Zelensky promised, and if it would have been profitable, the companies in Ukraine would have started doing it long ago…It is yet another lie, another farce that Zelensky attempts to exploit”.

Last week, this report continues, Dictator Zelensky warned: “Ukraine has a very low chance of survival without U.S. weapons”—a warning joined by Ukrainian journalist Natalia Moseychuk revealing today: “According to my information, the weapons that were going up for sale have stopped…Those companies that were ready to transfer these weapons are now waiting because there is no decision from Washington”—Ukrainian parliament member Aleksey Goncharenko also revealed: “The US has frozen arms sales to Ukraine…American companies confirmed this to me”—United States House Speaker Mike Johnson declared yesterday: “There is no appetite for another assistance bill for Ukraine…We have to bring the war to an end…And I can tell you that our European allies understand the necessity as well…It’s dragged on too long”—all of which follows Donald Trump Jr. warning Dictator Zelensky shortly after his father President Trump was elected last November: “You’re 38 Days from losing your allowance”.

Also earlier today, this report details, the Ministry of Defense (MoD) announced that Russian military forces eliminated over 925 Ukrainian soldiers during the past 24 hours and revealed: “In all, the following Ukrainian targets have been destroyed since the beginning of the special military operation: 655 aircraft, 283 helicopters, 44,007 unmanned aerial vehicles, 594 surface-to-air missile systems, 21,534 tanks and other armored combat vehicles, 1,518 multiple rocket launchers, 21,883 field artillery guns and mortars and 31,846 special military motor vehicles”—and was a revelation joined with the news that Ukrainian military intelligence chief General Kyrylo Budanov grimly warned: “If there are no serious negotiations before the summer, then very dangerous processes for the very existence of Ukraine may be launched”.

While “the very existence” of Ukraine hangs in the balance as hundreds-of-billions-of-dollars worth of destroyed Western weapons litter its battlefields, this report concludes, neocon British historian Niall Ferguson attacked and branded President Trump as an appeaser for trying to end the conflict—and was an attack Vice President J.D. Vance immediately slammed:

This is moralistic garbage, which is unfortunately the rhetorical currency of the globalists because they have nothing else to say.

For three years, President Trump and I have made two simple arguments: first, the war wouldn’t have started if President Trump was in office; second, that neither Europe, nor the Biden administration, nor the Ukrainians had any pathway to victory.  This was true three years ago, it was true two years ago, it was true last year, and it is true today.

And for three years, the concerns of people who were obviously right were ignored.

What is Niall’s actual plan for Ukraine?  Another aid package?  Is he aware of the reality on the ground, of the numerical advantage of the Russians, of the depleted stock of the Europeans or their even more depleted industrial base?

Instead, he quotes from a book about George HW Bush from a different historical period and a different conflict.  That’s another currency of these people: reliance on irrelevant history.

President Trump is dealing with reality, which means dealing with facts.  And here are some facts:

Number one, while our Western European allies’ security has benefitted greatly from the generosity of the United States, they pursue domestic policies (on migration and censorship) that offend the sensibilities of most Americans and defense policies that assume continued over-reliance.

Number two, Russians have a massive numerical advantage in manpower and weapons in Ukraine, and that advantage will persist regardless of further Western aid packages.

Number three, the United States retains substantial leverage over both parties to the conflict.

Number four, ending the conflict requires talking to the people involved in starting it and maintaining it.

Number five, the conflict has placed–and continues to place–stress on tools of American statecraft, from military stockpiles to sanctions (and so much else).  We believe the continued conflict is bad for Russia, bad for Ukraine, and bad for Europe.  But most importantly, it is bad for the United States.

Given the above facts, we must pursue peace, and we must pursue it now.  President Trump ran on this, he won on this, and he is right about this.  It is lazy, ahistorical nonsense to attack as “appeasement” every acknowledgment that America’s interest must account for the realities of the conflict.

That interest–not moralisms or historical illiteracy–will guide President Trump’s policy in the weeks to come.

And thank God for that.

Zelensky Attacks Western Pipeline As Russian-American Talks Start And Trump Deploys Special Forces To Mexico

By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers

A compelling new Security Council (SC) report circulating in the Kremlin today first noting top President Donald Trump advisor Elon Musk posted the message “This is what competent leadership looks like” in his commenting on the Russian delegation’s arrival in Saudi Arabia for talks with their United States counterparts, says these talks will partly focus on the staggering $324 billion hit American companies have suffered since quitting Russia, and are talks about which have been revealed:

High-level Russian-US talks have kicked off in Saudi Arabia’s Riyadh.

The meeting started without preliminaries and handshakes in the presence of the press.

The members of the delegations are seated around a large rectangular table.  The Russian side is seated on the right and the American side on the left.

From the Russian side, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Kremlin Aide Yury Ushakov are at the negotiating table.

Opposite them are three US negotiators: President Donald Trump’s national security advisor Mike Waltz, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and the US leader’s special envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff.

Representatives of Saudi Arabia sit at the head of the table.

CEO of the Russian Direct Investment Fund Kirill Dmitriev is also present.  He made a number of comments to the press after the talks began.

Representatives of the Russian and American media were simultaneously led to the meeting venue, with Russian and US journalists waiting in different parts of the building.  The press entered the room when the negotiators were already seated at the table.

The meeting is being held in one of the royal family’s palaces, Diriyah in the Albasateen complex.  Flags of Russia, the United States and Saudi Arabia are displayed at the entrance, and a purple carpet is laid out.

As the high-level Russian-American talks began in Saudi Arabia, this report notes, top Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov announced: “Russia remains committed to a peaceful resolution of the Ukraine conflict and is ready to hold direct talks between President Putin and Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky, despite having doubts about the latter’s legitimacy”—an announcement joined by top German lawmaker Sergey Lagodinsky claiming: “President Donald Trump has proposed a three-stage road map to Russia on settling the Ukraine conflict…The plan includes a ceasefire followed by elections in Ukraine, and finally the signing of a final agreement”.

For reasons unknown, this report continues, unelected usurper Ukraine Dictator Vladimir Zelensky arrived announced in Saudi Arabia neighbor United Arab Emirates yesterday, quickly after which he arrived announced in Turkey—sometime during his frantic travels yesterday, Zelensky ordered a drone strike on the Kropotkinskaya pipeline pumping station operated by the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC), that is a critical infrastructure component that primarily facilitates the export of Kazakh oil – much of which is produced by American and European companies—and was an attack that caused Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev to most factually observe: “Trump has publicly declared his intention to lower oil prices…An attack on the oil consortium risks halting deliveries, destabilizing the market, increasing price volatility, and directly harming American companies…The Caspian Pipeline Consortium attack represents a triple blow to American businesses, the oil market, and Trump himself”.

In response to the high-level Russian-American talks in Saudi Arabia, this report details, socialist European leaders convened what has been branded as the “Summit of Losers”, about which CEO Armin Papperger of German arms giant Rheinmetall assessed: “If parents have dinner, the kids have to sit at another table…The United States is negotiating with Russia and no European is at the table – it has become very clear that the Europeans are the kids”.

Going unnoticed by Dictator Zelensky as he attacks Western pipelines and the socialist European leaders sitting at the kids table, this report concludes, is the true top priority of President Trump, that was glimpsed this week when United States Northern Command commander General Gregory Guillot revealed about the thousands of combat troops being sent to the Mexican border—is further glimpsed by the CIA massively expanding secret drone flights over Mexico—and it has now been reported: “After two weeks of US Air Force RC-135V/W Rivet Joint reconnaissance aircraft conducting multiple signals intelligence operations along the US-Mexico border and in international waters off southern Baja California—areas controlled by heavily armed drug cartels—the Mexican Senate Commission has approved the deployment of US Special Forces operators to the country for “training missions””.

Beyond Epic Russian-American Showdown Against “The Mad King Of Kyiv” Begins

By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers

A world-changing new Security Council (SC) report circulating in the Kremlin today first noting President Donald Trump most factually declared yesterday that Russia is no threat to NATO, says he then revealed about his call with President Putin and Russian military power: “I think he wants to stop fighting…I see that…We spoke long and hard…They have a big, powerful machine…You understand that…And they defeated Hitler and they defeated Napoleon…You know, they’ve been fighting a long time…But I think he would like to stop fighting”.

Also yesterday, this report notes, top Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov assessed: “The recent phone talks between the Russian and American presidents means that Moscow and Washington will from now on focus on peace…They send a powerful message that from now on we will try to solve problems through dialogue…And from now on we will talk about peace, not war”—an assessment followed by the Kommersant newspaper in Russia revealing: “Ukraine talks between United States and Russian delegations are slated to take place in in the Saudi capital, Riyadh on 18 February”—and was a revelation joined by the American news site Axios reporting: “The meeting between senior U.S. and Russia officials to discuss a possible agreement on ending the war in Ukraine and prepare for a Trump-Putin summit will take place on Tuesday in Saudi Arabia”.

Earlier today, this report continues, top Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov announced: “Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and President Putin’s foreign policy aide, Yury Ushakov, will travel to Saudi Arabia on Monday to meet with President Donald Trump’s team to prepare the ground for an upcoming meeting of the two leaders”—and was an announcement that followed top President Trump envoy Steve Witkoff revealing last evening: “I am going to Saudi Arabia tonight, I’ll be traveling there with the National Security Advisor Michael Waltz and we’ll be having meetings at the direction of the President, and hopefully we’ll make some really good progress with regard to Russia, Ukraine…Those are details and I’m not dismissive of the details that are important…But I think the beginning here is trust building with Russia…It’s getting everybody to understand that this war does not belong continuing, that it should end”.

In viewing the beyond epic Russian-American rapprochement to end the Ukraine conflict, this report details, the Wall Street Journal assessed: “As the U.S. and Russia begin negotiations this coming week about the fate of Ukraine and European security, the shared view in Washington and in Moscow these days is open contempt for the leaders of Europe…What happens next will determine whether the alliance of European democracies, inside and outside the European Union, will remain a significant player on the increasingly brutal international stage, where the niceties of the post-World War II international order no longer apply” and observed: “European allies knew their relationship with the second Trump Administration would be challenging…Even so, the shocks they’ve received from Washington in recent days constitute a crisis…The warning, more or less: Shape up or the Americans are shipping out”.

In response to the fast looming Russian-American showdown against him, this report notes, unelected usurper Ukraine Dictator Vladimir Zelensky defiantly proclaimed: “I will never accept any decisions between the United States and Russia about Ukraine…Never”—a defiant proclamation swiftly followed by the news about a Ukraine that Zelensky banned all elections in: “Ukraine will hold elections in late October 2025, former President Pyotr Poroshenko has claimed…The politician cited a number of sources linked to government, and said that the relevant agencies have already started preparing….“Write it down: it will be on October 26 of this year”, said the former president, who currently leads the European Solidarity party, which holds 27 seats in Ukraine’s 450-seat parliament”—all of which is now joined by Dictator Zelensky arriving announced early this morning in Saudi Arabia neighbor United Arab Eremites for reasons unknown.

Prior to Dictator Zelensky arriving unannounced in the United Arab Eremites, this report concludes, he was attending the Munich Security Conference in Germany, where its Chairman Jens Stoltenberg closed the conference by “crying like a baby” while praising Zelensky and heaping scorn on Vice President J.D. Vance—and was a conference also ended by world-renowned political researcher John Mac Ghlionn releasing his open letter “The Mad King Of Kyiv: Why Zelensky Can’t Afford To End The War”, wherein he truthfully observed:

Not long ago, Volodymyr Zelensky was a comedian in Ukraine.

He made his living playing a fictional president on television.  Then, by a twist of fate, he became the real thing.  And before he had time to adjust to the role, history threw him onto the world’s stage, catapulting him from a middling entertainer into an international symbol of resistance.

Overnight, the media transformed him into the embodiment of courage, the Churchill of Kyiv, the man who refused to flee, the warrior standing against tyranny.

But what if this narrative is entirely false?  What if Zelensky, rather than being the hero in this story, is actually the man who won’t allow the war to end — not for the good of his people, but because peace would mean his own downfall?

It is no coincidence that as Ukraine’s battlefield prospects worsen, as soldiers defect, as forced conscription spirals into something resembling kidnapping, Zelensky has once again extended martial law.

No elections.  No peace talks.  No escape.  Because if the war ends, so does his presidency.  And this, more than anything, explains why the war must go on.

The mainstream media — particularly in the West — does not allow for nuance.  The world must be simple: Putin is the villain, Zelensky is the hero.  That is the framework. That is the script.  Anything outside of this binary is “pro-Russian propaganda”.

Yet reality is not a comic book; it’s not a Marvel movie.  Zelensky is not some saintly soldier defending democracy.  In fact, Ukraine barely resembles a democracy at all.
