Putin, Trump Reach Accord

Susan Kokinda argues that a Trump-Putin phone call signaled alignment in blaming Zelenskyy and European governments for prolonging the Ukraine war, followed by the Kremlin confirming a Victory Day ceasefire.

She says the media focused instead on King Charles’ Washington visit, which she portrays as an effort to preserve the UK-led “Special Relationship,” while Chatham House speakers acknowledged that the post-1949 order and US underwriting of European security is ending.

Kokinda then frames the UAE’s exit from OPEC as a major crack in the post-1971 petrodollar system built around dollar-floating, OPEC price control, and Gulf instability, noting new regional security ties such as Israeli Iron Dome support in the UAE.

Finally, she highlights the Pentagon’s Office of Strategic Capital, described as an internal investment bank with about $210B in lending authority to finance industrial capacity and “de-risk” critical production. Here’s more from Promethean Updates.

Trump Ends NATO Gravy Train

President Donald Trump just raised the possibility of pulling troops 13,000 and all NATO funding from Italy — and it’s already sending shockwaves with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni rightfully worried.

This comes after Trump already hinted he would close NATO’s basses in Spain and withdraw 5,000 or more troops from Germany, meaning a total of close to 20,000 troops gone.

That’s roughly a quarter of all American troops stationed in NATO countries. Here’s more from Trish Regan.

Objective [End]: Checkmate King

King Charles and Queen Camilla visit the White House and get treated to a display of the American beekeepers. What comms are we seeing here? Have we arrived at the [end] of the line? Has the King been checkmated?

Do you remember the final act in Godfather III? There’s an assassination attempt on Michael Corleone (Al Pacino). He escapes harm, but his daughter Mary (Sophia Coppola) tragically gets killed. Michael is left despondent, experiencing profound sorrow and isolation as he rues the consequences of his violent years and his pursuit of power.

Freedom is again coming. We will be able to celebrate as America no longer will be under a distant royal network. Pray! Here’s more from And We Know.

How 2020 Election Was Stolen

How did the Democrats steal the 2020 presidential election and saddle us with the lame crook Joe Biden as President?

President Donald Trump offered a few initial clues earlier this month when he signed an executive order rescinding the security clearances of Chris Krebs,  his associates and anyone working at SentinelOne. Krebs is the former head of CISA, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. It was Krebs who claimed the 2020 presidential election was the most secure election ever.

That, of course, was a flat-out lie. Trump himself has long claimed the 2020 election was stolen, Now, we know how that allegedly happened. The theory: The Democrats under Barack Obama, joined by varied foreign actors, worked diligently to rig the election and steal votes away from President Trump. This involved an array of techniques, including rigged voting machines, fraudulent mail-in ballots, and other phony votes, including some votes assigned to the dead.

Here, the Next News Network lays out the scenario.  Their news host, Gary Franchi, claims China and Iran were the chief foreign players but also the nation of Italy, whose former prime minister Matteo Renzi was a close confidant of Barack Obama. Obama, it is said, kept $400 of the $1.7 billion payoff he had made to Iran. Obama used this money to underwrite the election fraud and theft.

The detailed scheme outlined here allegedly involved the Italian defense contractor Leonardo, whose computer services were used in altering vote results. This theory has been spelled out before, and vehemently denied not only by the players, but also by the fake news.

We’ll need to wait and see if the FBI or U.S. Department of Justice issues indictments against the firms identified here,  but already we’re seeing some signs underscoring these theories. Not only has Krebs been denied his security clearance, but Iran was attacked and Italy was among the first NATO nations to lose its American troops. This bears close watching.

It’s Not Too Late, Britannia

In the last several years, the fighting strength of Britain’s Royal Navy has not just eroded — it has collapsed.

What was once a thousand-ship fleet and the envy of the world can now barely put a handful of vessels to sea. And one will never understand the soul of Great Britain without fully grasping the mythological power of the Royal Navy in that island nation’s national consciousness.

Here’s a new edition of The Right Angle, with Bill Whittle moderating Steve Gren and Scott Ott in a discussion of Britain’s now rusty legacy.

U.S. Troops Leaving Italy Soon

President Donald Trump is preparing to pull 13,000 American troops out of Italy. This comes after he had already closed down the two remaining American bases in Spain.

So it appears Trump has, in effect, begun to withdraw American support for NATO. Italy and Spain will be the first closures, but others likely will follow over the months, or years, ahead.

Spain, in particular, outraged Trump by refusing to allow American planes and ships headed toward Iran to transit through Spanish territory. Spain’s Socialists made a lot of political hay over the issue, but now, they are sucking sand and having to underwrite the full costs of their military bases. Here’s more  from Trish Regan.

When Do You Play Trump Card?

What is the Trump Card? And when do you play it?

Some analysts are now asserting the Trump card involves a Naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. No ships going into the strait means Iranian exports are cut off. In essence, the blockade halts Iranian trade of its oil. How long can Iran hold out if it’s not earning export sales? Can it survive as a nation?

Similarly, a blockade will extend pressures on the United States as well. Oil prices will remain high indefinitely. The grumbling will get fierce.

Is Trump fighting the Iranians at this point, or the City of London? The Europeans most certainly did not help us with containing Iran. is it because they have skin in the game? Pray. Here’s more from And We Know.

Spain First: Bye, Bye NATO?

President Donald Trump is now weighing his options as far as possible closings or downsizings of American military bases across Europe. Where will he pull troops from first?

It’s looking like that might happen in Spain, after the socialist government there ridiculed Trump’s requests for assistance in the Iran War and closed off Spanish airspace to American flights.

The U.S. formerly operated full-scale bases in Spain, but now does not. However, there are Naval and Air Force troops  stationed at two bases under Spanish control — the Rota Naval Base outside Cadiz and the Moron Air Force Base near Seville. Don’t be surprised if those arrangements come to an end. Here’s more from Trish Regan.
