Trump Confronts “Lippmann Gap” Nightmare Shredding American Dollar

A compelling new Security Council (SC) report circulating in the Kremlin today first noting President Donald Trump confirmed that he discussed potential sanctions with President Putin during Thursday’s phone call, and revealed: “I would say Putin is not thrilled with it, but you know, he’s been able to handle sanctions, but these are pretty biting sanctions…You know, he’s a professional…It may be coming”, says this confirmation joined the news: “The Trump administration just lifted sanctions on a Russian-led nuclear project in Hungary, specifically one run by Moscow’s atomic energy titan, Rosatom”, and it was also revealed: “Slovakia has blocked the EU’s 18th round of sanctions targeting Russia for the second time due to concerns about the planned phase-out of Russian energy”
Earlier today, this report notes, Axios revealed: “President Trump told Ukrainian President Zelensky in a call on Friday that the U.S. wants to help Ukraine with air defense, due to escalating Russian attacks”—a revelation that followed Chairman Tom Cole of the House Appropriations Committee grimly warning about the dire state of American weapons stockpiles: “We’ve reached critical shortages…I know how much more material we’ve gone through, more than anybody six months ago thought we would, because of what happened in the Middle East”.
Unbeknownst to the socialist indoctrinated for decades American peoples, this report continues, is that their nation’s continuous warmongering was devised by American political commentator Walter Lippmann, who is known as “the most influential journalist of the 20th Century”—and the University at Albany-State University of New York historical document “Imperial Evolution: Walter Lippmann And The Liberal Roots Of American Hegemony” reveals: “When Walter Lippmann became a founding editor of the New Republic in 1914, shortly after the outbreak of World War I, he began to advocate for heightened United States involvement in global affairs…Lippmann argued that the global power vacuum generated by the war presented the ideal opportunity for American values to spread to places like Eastern Europe and South America…Lippmann’s important role in America’s rise to global power becomes clear…Lippmann was a crucial ally in supporting the U.S. emergence as a contender for world power by extending democratic ideals in a non-democratic fashion, through both military intervention and economic domination”.
In 1922, this report details, Lippman released his book “Public Opinion”, which is the instructional manual for how the United States government and media can propagandize peaceful peoples into warring against each other without knowing why—and Lippman proudly proclaimed: “Ours is a problem in which deception has become organized and strong; where truth is poisoned at its source; one in which the skill of the shrewdest brains is devoted to misleading a bewildered people”.
While World War II was raging in 1943, this report notes, Lippman presented to the United States government his “Shield of the Republic” war doctrine that remains in force today, otherwise known as the “Lippmann Gap”—and about which is factually documented: “The Lippmann gap refers to the imbalance between a nation’s foreign policy commitments and its available power…Foreign policy should maintain a balance between a nation’s commitments and its power, with a surplus of power in reserve…If commitments exceed power, the foreign policy becomes insolvent”.
As President Trump confronts the “Lippmann Gap” commitment nightmare fast rendering American foreign policy insolvent, this report continues, world-renowned American historian Stephen Kotkin warned this week: “There’s unlimited demand for American power, but American power can’t fulfill all its current commitments”, and the leftist Washington Post worryingly observed today: “The central challenge in American foreign policy today is that Washington’s defense commitments around the world exceed its military power…This is known as the “Lippmann gap”…The Lippmann gap pressures presidents to make trade-offs between competing foreign policy priorities…If they don’t, the gap will grow…For Trump, backing Israel to the hilt while leaving Ukraine more exposed has a clear — if brutal — political and strategic appeal”.
The brutal and strategic “Lippmann Gap” commitment nightmare facing President Trump as it regards Ukraine, this report details, just saw Director Kirill Budanov of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine admitting that Kiev lacks the ability to push Russian forces back, with him fearfully revealing about fast advancing Russian military forces: “Wherever they reach will be under their control…Do you think there is anyone who does not realize that?…I hope everyone does”—a fearful revelation joined by the Ministry of Defense (MoD) announcing today that Russian military forces killed over 9,100 Ukrainian soldiers during the past week.
The brutal and strategic “Lippmann Gap” commitment nightmare facing President Trump as it regards the Middle East, this report notes, saw the United Nations nuclear watchdog announcing yesterday that it had pulled its last remaining inspectors from Iran—an announcement joined with the news today: “Hamas accepted the framework of a proposed new 60-day cease-fire and hostage-release deal in Gaza that, if concluded, would immediately trigger U.S.-backed negotiations between the militants and Israel aimed at a permanent end to the war”—and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov warned on behalf of Russia: “We intend to stay vigilant, as the war party remains highly active in the Middle East”.
By Russia staying within “Lippmann Gap” commitments, this report concludes, it was revealed: “Russia’s international reserves reached a record high at the end of June”—but due to the United States shredding “Lippmann Gap” commitments, it was also revealed: “The US dollar is on track for its worst year in modern history and may not be done falling yet”.
