Here is my two-cents take on the major conflict in the world these days: the looming conflict between Jewish power, ruling over the West, and the perceived threat from China.
All the rest is just jockeying for a better alignment in the upcoming big conflict/war.
The Russia-Ukraine thing is a form of arm-twisting, by the omnipresent Jewish fifth column among the warring parties, in order to force the Russians to switch sides. Russia would perform any gymnastics, bending over, jumping up and down, whatever, only to preserve its much celebrated status as a sovereign power if not, an out-of-its-league, outright the claim to equal status among the world’s superpowers. With a low population among the world giants, Russians are keenly tied to their land and to their prize of having easily conquered the whole of the native’s northern Asian continent. They hold onto their conquered lands as their unrivaled treasure, coveted by all neighbors, including not so-close neighbors, around the world.
They are instinctively willing to play the game of “fellow traveler” as long as possible and befriend anyone in order to cross the bridge to survival and continue lording it over their vassals.
But the noose gets tighter and tighter around the necks of the Jewish overlords themselves. China is almost twice as big as the white man’s world. Their industrial production is larger than that of the rest of the entire world combined. China’s industrial sector is only 27 percent of their GDP, but it already outstrips the rest of the world. On the other side, Jewish power has been pretty much disconspired in the West, never mind among the rest of the world. Their moral standing is completely compromised by their naked barbarism, showing the whole world what life would be like under an undisputed Jewish full-spectrum domination.
The Jews are scrambling to patch together an alignment and then an alliance between the West, Russia and the Muslim world against the Chinese. But the Jews are weak, splintered, and just like in the biblical story, the Israelites are gambling everything on a fantasy — that is the fantasy that a small, unrepentant tribe can withstand the colossal Roman army. They lost everything in that battle, lost their country, their claim to statehood, their standing among other peoples. But they didn’t learn from their own self-made destruction. And with the same hubris they are now tormenting the world with the challenge of how to deal with them, such enemies of the human race.
They absolutely cannot win against the multifaceted forces of opposition, all appalled by such brazen inhumanity. Slowly, but ineluctably, the world is coming to see the Tribe as a cancer that must be treated.
I see China as the ultimate supremo due to their industrious talents, and higher morals. It will end up reorganizing the world according to their better and successful principles.
And that pivot does not serve American national interests.

I admit I made a mistake. I thought President Trump had finally realized that placating Vladimir Putin had not served either American national interests or his own reputation. The details of a new “peace plan” for Ukraine, endorsed by Trump and his team, confirm that I was wrong in this assessment. Trump has once again shunned the role of neutral mediator and is again taking Russia’s side. This pivot back to the old, pro-Putin Trump is bad for Ukraine, bad for Europe, and bad for the United States.
As my readers know, I have written and commented critically about President Trump’s embrace of Vladimir Putin for over a decade. During his first presidential campaign, Trump went out of his way to praise the Russian dictator. This enthusiasm for Putin continued throughout his first term, including a shocking moment at their summit in Helsinki in 2018 when Trump sided with Putin against his own intelligence community, falsely claiming there had been no Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. (Incidentally, it was in Helsinki that Trump volunteered to hand me over to Moscow for interrogation regarding crimes I allegedly committed against Russia while working at the National Security Council! Read about it here.) At the beginning of his second term, Trump continued to praise and support Putin. Most embarrassingly, the United States under Trump joined Russia, North Korea, Belarus, and a bunch of other rogue nations in voting against a UN resolution criticizing Russia for invading Ukraine. Even China abstained.
More recently, however, there were signs that Trump was beginning to understand Putin. After Trump and his aides offered Putin all sorts of concessions to end his war in Ukraine, Putin just asked for more. Trump seemed frustrated by that. In April, Trump questioned in a Truth Social post whether Putin was “tapping me along.” Putin was. Most encouragingly, in October—for the first time in 2025—the Trump administration finally implemented new sanctions on two Russian oil companies. I thought optimistically that Trump might be changing his mind about Putin.
The publication this week of a so-called new “peace plan” has undermined that optimism. Trump and his team are right back to appeasing Putin and undermining Ukrainian sovereignty. This reversal is dramatic and tragic.
Ukrainian and Western leaders had no say in the drafting of the plan, which requires extreme concessions from Kyiv and demands nothing from Moscow. It is not a “peace plan.” It is a Russian proposal for Ukrainian capitulation endorsed by the Trump administration. Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev reportedly leaked the plan to the American press to tie Trump’s hands. (I hope the president and his aides realize what a sinister move this was by Dmitriev.)
There is little new in the plan. The proposal simply repeats all of Putin’s maximalist demands from years ago. Most outrageously, this new Russian plan calls on Ukraine yet again to abandon territory still held by its soldiers in Donbas. Putin has been trying to seize this area of eastern Ukraine since 2014; it seems he has now given up on his soldiers and is just asking Trump to hand it over to him. Equally egregious are the provisions in the plan that place limits on Ukraine’s sovereignty, including caps on the size of the army and a prohibition on joining NATO. Most arrogantly, the proposal states that Ukraine will be “eligible” to join the European Union—as if Russia had any say in this matter. Trump apparently also decided unilaterally to speak on behalf of the other G-7 countries – all of which are democratic allies of the United States—when agreeing in this document to invite Russia to rejoin what would become the G-8. And, of course, in a pattern now consistent with other Trump-backed deals, the plan offers all sorts of ways for Americans to make money. One bullet point even describes how “$100 billion in frozen Russian assets will be invested in US-led efforts to rebuild and invest in Ukraine,” with the important caveat that the US “will receive 50% of the profits”! Finally, there is nothing in this document identifying Russia as the instigator of this barbaric war.
A Trump-led pressure campaign on Zelenskyy to accept this deal—the Ukrainians reportedly have only until Thursday to say yes—will not advance American national interests. Here’s why:
First, this Russian plan rewards imperialism and acknowledges annexation. Acquiescing to such an agreement will not produce long-lasting peace but only result in a temporary pause in Putin’s aggression, much like that which followed Putin’s first attack on Ukraine in 2014. And an emboldened Putin will escalate his threats to our NATO allies in Europe. Just as appeasement in the run-up to World War II eventually resulted in large-scale war, the same tactics could produce more conflict, not less—again in Europe, and in the near future.
Second, the very publication of this “peace plan” has already exacerbated tensions with our European allies. Pursuing its implementation will do even further damage to our relations with our NATO allies.
Third, the provision in the plan that weakens Ukraine, such as a cap on the size of the Ukrainian military, is antithetical to American national interests. To deter war between Russia and NATO countries, NATO—an alliance that includes the United States, in case some in the Trump administration forgot—needs a strong Ukrainian military. Right now, even after fighting the Russian army for over three years, the Armed Forces of Ukraine remain the most effective military in Europe. NATO needs that army to stay strong to deter any future aggression from Russia. Eventually, to enhance deterrence, that army should be fully integrated into NATO. The United States benefits from a strong Ukraine, not a weak Ukraine.
Fourth, acceding to the erosion of norms regarding sovereignty sends a terrible signal to Beijing that Xi Jinping and the Chinese Communist Party can also use force for territorial gain. Such a signal could wrongly tempt Xi into trying to seize Taiwan by force, a military action that would destroy the global economy and easily drag the United States into war with the People’s Republic of China.
Fifth, supporting this Russian proposal aligns the United States with the autocratic, imperial aggressor in this war. How does that enhance our international reputation? As I wrote about in my new book, the United States needs to be firmly on the side of the free world in the fight between autocrats and democrats unfolding over the next century. Trump’s siding with Putin blurs our commitment to freedom and undermines our once iron-clad reputation as the leader of the free world.
Finally, this Russian plan, as published, will not work. It will not end this war. Even if Zelenskyy wanted to accept it, his citizens and warriors would not. Trump, therefore, will look like a weak and failed negotiator if he tries to force Ukraine to capitulate.
The only path forward is a serious amendment to this draft document that removes the most egregious violations of Ukrainian sovereignty and calls upon Putin to make concessions, too. Most importantly, Putin cannot have a say in Ukraine’s sovereign affairs, be it the size of the army, Ukraine’s agreements on security guarantees with European and American partners, or relations with multilateral organizations such as NATO and the EU. NATO leaders did not seek Stalin’s permission when they established the alliance in 1949. And no one phoned up Khrushchev and asked for his blessing to bring part of Germany into the alliance in 1955. Asking for Moscow’s permission now—giving Putin a veto over how Ukraine conducts its own foreign policy—harkens back to earlier centuries of “spheres of influence”. We all know how poorly that system ended.
Hopefully, in the coming days, our European allies will engage with Trump and his team to propose substantive amendments to this Russian plan. After Trump’s failed summit with Putin in Alaska in August, which produced no tangible gains for American security or meaningful steps to end the war in Ukraine, the Europeans came to Washington a few days later to help get us back on course. Let’s hope they will so again in the coming days.
A strong, democratic, and independent Ukraine advances American security and values, both in Europe and around the world. A weak Ukraine subjugated to Russia undermines American security and values, both in Europe and around the world. Standing up to Putin makes the United States look strong. Appeasing Putin makes the United States look weak. It’s just that simple.
I hope Trump’s reversal to his old Putin-admiring self is just a temporary relapse. But I will not be fooled again by any changes in what Trump says, I will judge the president’s policies only by changes in his actions.
Points of the peace plan for Ukraine, which are now being leaked and published by the media. Obviously, “Trump’s plan” is Putin’s plan.
Is there any connection between the timing of the release of the Epstein files, Gaza “peace plan”, Crown Prince MBS’s visit to the WH and Trump not being listed on those files?
In other words, is Epstein used by the Masters of the Universe to force Trump to switch sides and abandon Netanyahu and possibly Putin?
The only thing that the Masters abhor is the notion of sovereignty. And that includes Israel’s sovereignty.
If one is to make sense of the last 30-40 years of world events, from the “execution” of Ceaușescu to the Ukrainian war or the targeting of Venezuela – it is simply to understand that the Masters of the Universe are behind the elimination any idea of national sovereignty. No such nationalism is allowed.
Is that now how they will deal with Netanyahu and Orban?
See it clearly spelled out by someone who knows from the inside.

We pretty much see that the US-led Western economic system is crumbling under our own eyes. The industrial power-house of the West is completely out-done by the Chinese juggernaut. In every field of technological competition, the Chinese are out-competing the West with the exception of semiconductors. Not that the Chinese could not replicate or reverse engineer that last niche of technology, but it is restricted by the copyright monopoly held by the Western companies. For the Chinese to overtake that last piece of American advantage, it would have to invent a totally new technology, a totally parallel and a superior semiconductor industry. Based on past performance, that will only be a matter of time, in other words a few years.
Thus, the most frightening question is not whether the Western world can hold on to their own vs the Chinese, but what kind of role is going to be reserved for the West when it loses all its chips in the game.
Eastern Europe in the late 1960s and early 1970s offers a good vision of what can come to pass. After the devastating horrors of the two world wars and the separation from the other half of the continent, the Eastern European countries started to recover to “normal” by the late 1960s. Life in those years reached a peak of affluence. Incomes were steadily rising to the point where most families were enjoying substantial disposable income. A mini boom in apartment house construction, vacations abroad (even if mostly within the Eastern bloc), cars, household appliances were now common. It looked like another 10 years or so and they’d be catching up to Western Europe; it seemed all but guaranteed. And then something happened around 1972-73, and they never recovered again, ever since. Was it the first oil shock of 1973, was it the aftermath of the 1968 dissident movements, etc.? One example that seems to parallel the West of today was Romania’s choice of policy in those years.
At the time, Romania was enjoying an economic boom, consistently posting rates of growth of over 11 percent. But the ambitious young president, Nicolae Ceaușescu, had even more impressive plans. Shortly after Nixon’s trip to China and the opening of the new China policy by the Americans, Ceaușescu invited Nixon to Romania and at the same time followed his example and turned to China as a model for Romania itself. After a series of visits to China and North Korea, in April 1972 he issued the so-called “April Thesis,” through which Romania planned to introduce elements of the Chinese model in Romania, that is China’s work ethic, China’s cultural revolution, China’s manufacturing performance, and China’s opening to Western capital investment, and its perceived success. Romania became the first European country to experiment with the Chinese model.
Ceaușescu allowed Western investments to pour into Romania’s economy. From dozens and dozens of textile factories with Western money and Western technology working for Western markets to importing ambitious aviation technology, such as the mid-size British BAC commercial jet, to importing Canadian nuclear power plant technology at Cernavodă, etc., etc.
And just like what we are seeing today, the mini-cultural revolution followed closely behind. From a traditional joie de vivre, easy going, culture of restaurants and pubs with a vibrant night-life and partying, the new mini-culture revolution abruptly decreed a 9 PM curfew, a crackdown on work absenteeism, a crackdown on illicit income, a crackdown on assets that couldn’t be unaccounted for, in the name of an overall crackdown on the so-called everyday corruption. The result was that Romania turned into a grey, sullen, unhappy third-world labor pool for big Western capital. Even the public street lighting was reduced, first to fewer and lower lumens of fluorescence and then to total darkness. The whole country became a workshop serving Western capitalist financial interests.
It went like this for some 20 years, but by the time Romania repaid the loans to their Western Masters and would have reaped the benefits of their sacrifices and could have claimed a modern economy, like China does today, the West crushed it mercilessly and returned it to the feudal days.
So, how is that related to today’s world events? Is the China of today in the same situation as Romania around the 1980s? Will China become the enslaved coolie of Western capital again? Is Romania’s example a window into the future of China? And let’s not forget, was Ceaușescu’s fate in Piața Republicii what was and still is planned for the Chinese leaders in Tiananmen Square, as well?!
The answer is NO. What worked for Western Capital against a small, defenseless and opportunistic, hapless country, did not work against the formerly Number One World Civilization. Western capital broke its teeth trying to bite into that big piece of meat.
In an ironic twist, Romania’s example is an illustration of the future of the defeated Western world! It is an illustration of the fate awaiting the Western people. Hard to believe?!
What is the West’s magic weapon against the onslaught by the Chinese technological tide? A militarily Maginot line of defense? The Chinese will never invade the West militarily! A superior work ethic, now that night-life is under curfew on the pretext of fighting the Coronavirus throughout the Western world? Not really. Western man is an aging, soft, obese slob, hardly motivated to work his butt off day and night for the good of corporate profits. Western man is cynical at best and inept for the most part. He is uneducated and hooked on watching TV, eating potato chips and drinking Coke, if not ingesting crack.
Where are the Western scientists and innovators? Graduates of what schools and universities?
For over one hundred years, the US soaked up the best and the brightest from Europe. All its major technological advancements were created by imported European-educated scientists at the turn of the twentieth century and then after each of the two devastating (to Europe) wars. A big, last hurrah occurred after the dismantling of the Warsaw Pact when scores of well-educated people from Eastern Europe crossed the Atlantic in fulfillment of their lost dreams of a better life. Today, most of the top graduates in America’s top STEM universities are Asians, if not simply Chinese. Any attempt to cut back their influence in the US will be a catalyst for going back to their native country, giving China an even greater edge over America’s moribund R&D efforts.
The future, indeed, does not look bright for the West. I predict that this time the tables will be turned, and the only future that I can see is one where the semi-employable, semi-literate people of the West will slowly but ineluctably slide into the fate that was reserved for the Chinese people. A cruel twist of history is happening under our eyes. We are witnessing not exactly the sacking of Byzantium by the Ottoman forces but the impoverishment of today’s Americans in their own formerly shiny country – just like what happened to the native Indians a few centuries before.
Will the US and Europe be able to avoid such a future? They can prolong the agony, sure. Or they can join the Chinese, becoming an appendage of it while losing all their millennial-long special culture of individual rights, sense of freedom and liberty.
Or they can save themselves by turning their countries into theme parks, making the most of their glorious past, their architecture, and culture. The West could become a series of open air museums, like many small towns such as Mougins in the French Riviera, where the locals are waiting on tables for the tourists from Asia. That’s one of their best choices. But wait, those are in Europe, not in the US. As for the US, it’s different, with no theme park of the past and with Whites a minority by 2050 – if the US doesn’t make the mistake of turning itself into a radioactive wasteland first.
On the other hand, I can see a White Europe kept together by the might of Russia’s military and Russia’s practically unlimited reserves of natural resources. But the US will remain in the memory like a Western movie of some frontier past.
