As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
The Russians as I type this are sleeping and not commenting, so we will not know what is reality until the Russians start assessing what Donald Trump and Marco Rubio are saying.
What we know for sure is this. Donald Trump in his 10 day ultimatum, has decided that you go slap the shit out of the swammy Indians and at this point pretend China with Russian oil does not matter as America looks at perhaps North Korea which is already sanctioned and does no business with America.
So we have that point in his sanctions, now followed by the strangeness of Trump saying he is meeting with Putin next week, when all Putin said was, "at some point I will meet Trump". That is like someone meeting you on the street and you say, "Let's get together sometime and you find them on your door the next day for a two week stay".
"My Special Representative, Steve Witkoff, has just had a very productive meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Great progress has been made! After that, I informed some of our European allies," Trump writes, quoted by the Donald Trump in Russian telegram channel.According to the American president, the European allies with whom he spoke today agree that "this war must end." He promised to "work on this in the coming days and weeks."
"There is progress, and positive forces will prevail," Kirill Dmitriev, the special representative of the President of the Russian Federation, commented on Trump's post.
It is a positive in Kirill Dmitriev's statement in there being progress, but that is the only thing from Russia that has been stated as progress, but that is not a SETTLEMENT.
Next up we have Marco Rubio who has now come out with this:
According to the head of the State Department, perhaps for the first time since the beginning of the work of the current US administration, Washington has concrete examples of what Russia "could ask to put an end to the war." Rubio explained that the task now is to narrow the gap between the positions of Moscow and Kiev.
"We have to compare this with what the Ukrainians and our European allies are ready to agree to," the Secretary of State noted.The United States should bring the parties as close as possible and this will help US President Donald Trump succeed, the Secretary of State concluded.
That is puzzling in now is the first time we have concrete examples of what Russia wants and now this can be compared to what the Europeans want. I know what the Russians want. Their demands have not changed. They want security and Europe wants war.
We now come to the mosaic of this odyssey which is against Russia wants security and will not yield on this. Then Trump enters in this untrustworthy mass murderer, Zellinskyy who starts bloviating again not what Russia has said as Zellinskyy has no idea, but Zellinskyy parrots the thing Russia will never agree to in A CEASEFIRE NOW. That is all Zellinskyy wants so NATO can pour in more weapons, Ukraine can build a more advanced military to start this war again with Russia, this time with long range drones and missiles as the last war plan only mass murdered and injured 1.8 million Ukrainian Christians.
Trump announced "great progress" at Vladimir Putin's meeting with By Steven Witkoff. The Kremlin assessed their conversation as "very useful and constructive." According to Fox News, at the meeting Putin expressed a desire to meet with Trump, who is "open to such a conversation as early as next week if the result of this meeting is the end of the war in Ukraine."
According to The New York Times, Trump, after Witkoff's visit, informed European leaders of plans to meet with Putin next week and then hold a trilateral meeting with Vladimir Zelensky. The White House confirmed the readiness of the US president for such a meeting.
Zelensky himself, after a conversation with Trump following the meeting between Putin and Witkoff, said that Russia "seems to be more set up for a cease-fire now," RBC reminds.
Look I give Donald Trump credit for declaring victory as he is failing. In reviewing this in all the actions of the parties, Trump is in some Twilight Zone as Europe and Kiev will not agree to Russian security and Russian security is never going to accept again Europe arming Ukraine again.
These are such polar opposites which absolutely bring thee only historical conclusion which Russia understands in military defeat of an enemy is thee only solution for your position of peace.
While Vladimir Putin can hold is own against any 10, there is no reason to meet Trump as no agreements have been agreed to. If this goes to this Trump 3 way, you know unless Donald Trump shoves an apple in Zellinskyy's mouth and puts a bullet into his head, Zellinskyy is going to be braying the same shit he was ranting at Donald Trump about earlier this year. Vladimir Putin is not going to go for that shit. Donald Trump lets this get out of hand, and Russia will blame Trump and that ends everything.
I honestly can understand Martin Armstrong's computer pointing to August 18th as the collapse for war beginning, because that would be about the time line that Trump drags Putin to a meeting, then Zellinskyy offends everyone, and Russia just tells Donald Trump to go play golf and Russia solves the Zellinskyy problem then.
To be graphic, this can all be translated to Vladimir Putin said he would like to have lunch with Donald Trump. Donald Trump then announces, "Hey Putin and I are getting married, and then we are going to Epstein Island to have a 3 way with the dwarf of Kiev". The dwarf then announces, "Hey I talked to Trump and we're going to tie up Putin, whip him and pee on him, and then our buddies in Berlin, Paris and London are going to pimp him at their brothel".
How do you get from Russian security to Russian surrender is like Ukraine peace has Donald Trump pointing nuclear missiles at Russia for a war.
I have in a coming post an explanation of what is going on in Trump's psychology to make sense of this which you have read above, because there is no one who has read thee above can come to any conclusion other than this is abnormal.
He recalled that Russia remains true to its position. Chepa also stressed that Moscow remains consistent and firmly defends its line.
"The situation is such that Trump ultimatum demanded a solution to the issue in a short period of time. Our President continues to clearly monitor and implement the position that was voiced during the three conversations of the presidents. She has not changed," explained Chepa.In his opinion, the absence of drastic steps indicates the readiness of the United States for dialogue.
"Of course, you see, there are no drastic actions, there are attempts to get out of the situation. This is good," he said.
The Russian analysis is reasoned. I do not reach a conclusion though that Trump can talk his way out of this.
Then again, Hal Turner posted this, and the Russians did reply to Donald Trump before they went to bed.
Romania was forced to scramble F-16 jets after Russia carried out a strike just half a mile from the NATO nation's territory.
The drones reportedly struck oil and gas pipelines at the Orlivka plant in Odesa, Ukraine.
Bright orange flames and plumes of smoke were visible across the Danube River as seen in the image atop this story.
Earlier today, I reported on the meeting in the Kremlin between Russia President Vladimir Putin and US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff. I reported the meeting "went badly." Now, Russia has directly attacked a gas-pumping station which was the primary means for the US to get gas into Ukraine via the Azerbaijan pipeline. I'd say this confirms my earlier reporting (HERE) that the meeting "went badly."
From Russia's point of focus it went pretty good as they have Donald Trump as the new Macron of Europe feckless leaders and Vladimir Putin is going to do his meeting and talking with munitions and inform Donald Trump that his sanctions on Russian energy will be met with sanctions on American profits in Ukraine.
Donald Trump just got pissed on and it is time that he talks to a Christian who can decipher the Mission, because this President is on the wrong mission.
Nuff Said
