NATO Summit Preview

Preview of the important NATO summit opening tomorrow in DC. Hungary’s Viktor Orban, EU president (for next 6 months), has just visited Kyiv, Moscow & Beijing, in indirect effort to get NATO to choose talks with Russia on Ukraine, rather than up the ante.

Will NATO Fissures Become Fractures

Will NATO fissures become fractures at this week’s summit in DC? Biden to ABC: “I’m the guy who put NATO together for future. No one thought I could expand it.” Will Turks, Hungarians, French, et al still pay obeisance to the delusional fellow who thinks he’s “running the world”?

Putin on Trump’s Readiness to Stop the War

Putin at Q&A July 4: “We take Trump’s readiness to stop the war in Ukraine quite seriously. How he is going to do this is the key question. But I have no doubt that he says it sincerely, and we support it. Ceasefire is not possible w/out overall agreement” 

 

WMD-Size Lie About Putin’s Intentions

My Most Recent Briefing of ‘The President’

Telling ‘President Scheer’ to his face: Don’t believe what your
advisers tell you about Putin not stopping at Ukraine but
conquering Poland, the Baltics, Hungary, as well. The official
UKRAINIAN account of talks with Russia proves he DID STOP –
back in March 2022. A Ukraine-Russia was successfully
negotiated and initialed in Istanbul, when former UK Prime
Minister Boris Johnson flew to Kyiv and nixed the deal.

There is zero evidence that Putin wants to conquer most of
Ukraine, much less Poland and other countries. Zelensky and
Putin both micromanaged the Istanbul agreement; each is
painfully aware that what the US/UK wanted to do is weaken
Russia, using Ukraine as a proxy.

The danger here is that Americans, not knowing the real story, will support further escalation against Russia. As for the geniuses
around Biden, their attitude seems to be, What’s to lose? Perhaps
the US can stave off definitive defeat in Ukraine (and,
consequently, in the election) if we can just make it to November.

Here’s how I briefed ‘The President’:

Pre-Election Likelihoods

With four months before US election what is Russia likely to do in Ukraine? How much public pressure is Putin under to respond more forcefully to provocations enabled by the US? Austin-Belousov talk. Will Israel finagle Biden into war with Hezbollah/Iran?

When Analysts Helped Avert War

Russia/Ukraine/US and how US-Russia tension recall (and exceed) 1983 when all-out war was nipped in the bud by courageous analysts. Can Israel mousetrap US into open war vs Hezbollah? (Apologies up front for the 2-destroyer story; that happened 3 yrs ago)

 

Netanyahu’s Calculus

Netanyahu’s calculus in planning atk on armed-to-the-teeth Hezbollah; would like to mousetrap the US in; expects Biden take the bait & become directly involved militarily when Israel faces strong resistance. Also, implications of Russia-North Korea treaty.
