Western Europe Trembles, But Putin Just Gave Them a Hockey Game
So after all the panicked hand-wringing in Brussels, over a phone call and the media hysteria about Trump both “selling out” Ukraine, and reigning in Russia, what did Putin actually do? He listened, he nodded, and then he politely told the West: We will continue our work, and when we’re ready to agree, we will. But only on our terms.
The Kremlin readout is a masterpiece in diplomatic judo. Putin gave Trump enough face-saving optics to keep up the image of negotiations, while making it abundantly clear that Russia’s security is not up for auction. No strikes on energy infrastructure? Fine. That’s a pause, not a concession. Prisoner exchange? Standard protocol. Goodwill gesture? Sure, have 23 wounded soldiers. Expert groups? Of course, let’s form some committees, talking is cheap.
But let’s be real. The real takeaway from this call is that Western Europe still refuses to grasp reality. They act like this call was some grand turning point, as if Putin had suddenly been “reined in.” Yet the Supreme Commander himself made it crystal clear: Kiev remains an unreliable actor, the 30-day ceasefire is postponed, and Russia will continue operations to secure its historical lands. The terms of peace will not be dictated by Washington or Brussels, they will be dictated by facts on the ground, by the hard reality of Russian strength.
And then there’s Trump, who, to his credit, seems to be waking up to the gravity of Russia’s legitimate concerns. Unlike the EU’s delusions of dragging out this war forever, Trump at least sees the writing on the wall: Ukraine is defeated, the West cannot sustain this quagmire, and the road to peace will be on Moscow’s terms. But before that reality sets in fully, it has to play out. Kiev and its European handlers must stare into the abyss before they finally accept that their only way out is capitulation.
So while the EU keeps pumping printed money into its failing war machine, while von der Leyen and Macron fantasize about “peacekeepers,” and while Poland and the Baltics shake in fear at their own warmongering, Moscow remains unmoved. The liberation continues, the map shifts, and when the time comes, the final agreement will be written in Russian ink.
And in the meantime? Let’s play hockey.

"Can Zelensky Survive?” Wrong Question. It’s Not His War Anymore
The Western press is breathless again. Trump’s envoy to the Middle East (Kellogg was never up to the task) yes, the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, has stumbled into geopolitical reality in his long-form interview with Tucker Carlson, uttering the forbidden truth: the territories don’t want to go back to Ukraine.
The Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics. Zaporozhye. Kherson. The referendums are real. The will of the people was crystal clear. The Russian language, culture, bloodlines, and identity have always tied them to Moscow, not Lvov, not Brussels, and certainly not Foggy Bottom.
And yet Witkoff, to his credit, finally pointed out the elephant tap-dancing through every Western think tank boardroom: “The people overwhelmingly voted to be under Russian rule.”
His concern, however? Whether Zelensky can politically survive acknowledging this fact.
That’s the wrong question.
Because this is not about Zelensky’s political career, his legacy, or even his survival. He's always been a disposable, failed actor. This is about capitulation. Total. Unconditional. Non-negotiable.
If Zelensky can politically survive the loss of Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporozhye and Kherson, then he can damn well “survive” ceding Odessa, Kharkov, Chernigov, Sumy, and every historic Russian land west and east of the Dnieper. Ukraine as a fiction of empire is collapsing. Malorossiya is coming home.
Let’s not pretend there’s parity here. Russia is not bargaining.
Moscow’s conditions are not hypothetical, they are geographic, historic, and now militarily enforced.
Putin, patient and polite as ever, nodded during talks. He welcomed Trump’s overtures. But Russia has already won the war that matters. The demographic, cultural, and linguistic lines are already redrawn. The Russian tricolor now flies where no NATO bluster can unseat it.
Witkoff naively called it the “central issue” of the conflict.
Wrong again. The central issue isn’t what Kiev wants or can concede.
It’s what Russia will dictate at the inevitable signing table of surrender.
Because let’s be clear:
• Russia holds massive military advantage, not just in the field, but in strategic tempo.
• Russia has total internal unity and public support.
• Russia is dictating the shape of post-conflict Eurasia.
Meanwhile, Zelensky is juggling defeat after battlefield defeat, terrorist drone strikes deep into Russian territory that backfire diplomatically, and watching his Western sponsors pivot to damage control. He’s a burnt-out actor reading lines from a fading script.
This isn’t a negotiation. It’s the final act of a failed empire project.
The US knows it. Trump’s team knows it. Even Macron’s trembling wine glass knows it.
So let the West continue their diplomatic theater. Let them hold conferences in London, Paris, shuttle envoys to Riyadh, and debate ceasefires in committee rooms.
In the real world, the one carved by multipolar momentum, the lines have been drawn, the lands reclaimed, and history rewritten in favor of Russia.
And if the Kiev regime thinks Odessa will be spared? They don’t know how this story end.

The Empire’s Balkan Gambit: How the US Deep State Is Engineering Serbia’s Regime Change
What’s unfolding in Serbia isn’t a spontaneous uprising, it’s a textbook regime-change operation executed by the same Anglo-American intelligence networks that have weaponized “democracy” from Ukraine to Georgia. According to Serbian Deputy Prime Minister Aleksandar Vulin, the ongoing student-led mass protests are the latest installment in a “color revolution” backed by the US deep state and European spy services. Their goal? To fracture Serbia’s sovereignty, topple its government, and install a compliant Euro-Atlantic puppet regime that will toe the line on anti-Russian sanctions and NATO integration.
The pretext this time was the tragic collapse of a concrete canopy at Novi Sad’s railway station, a deadly incident that claimed 15 lives and triggered genuine public grief. But that grief was quickly hijacked. Within days, Western-backed NGOs and media outlets began amplifying narratives of systemic rot and government failure. Then came the resignations of top officials, including Prime Minister Milos Vucevic, followed, right on cue, by a surge of highly organized protests in Belgrade. Coincidence? Not if you’ve studied the color revolution manual. Even without overt USAID fingerprints, the black budget money always finds its way.
These are the same operatives who are targeting Milorad Dodik of Republika Srpska, a close ally of Belgrade and Moscow. Dodik’s recent one-year prison sentence by an EU-backed court in Sarajevo reeks of geopolitical retaliation. Vulin makes it plain: the West wants to neutralize Serbia, erase its independence, and transform it into another obedient node of the neoliberal order. The playbook is brutally familiar, pressure, delegitimize, destabilize, overthrow.
But Serbia is not just another domino. It has refused to join the sanctions chorus against Russia, maintained close ties with the Kremlin, and stood as one of the last sovereign holdouts in a Europe now colonized by Washington’s strategic will. That makes it dangerous in the eyes of the empire. It must be brought to heel. The timing, too, is no accident. As President Trump works to negotiate an end to the Ukraine war, the same deep state elements that fear peace are lighting fires elsewhere to keep Eurasia unstable and Russia surrounded.
President Vucic has already warned of Western, Croatian, and Albanian intelligence involvement in the unrest. He knows what’s at stake: sovereignty or subjugation. If a new government isn’t formed within the next 30 days, snap elections will follow. And you can bet the full weight of Western meddling will be thrown behind whichever candidate promises to sever Serbia’s historical ties to Russia and fully submit to Brussels and Washington.
Let there be no illusions. What we are witnessing is a hybrid war operation in broad daylight, a fusion organic greivances, psychological warfare, fifth-column agitation, and transnational intelligence coordination. From the Maidan in Kiev to the squares of Belgrade, the script hasn’t changed, only the cast.
And yet, the resistance still holds. Serbia, like Russia, understands that its future must not be dictated by unelected Atlanticist overlords. It is not 1999. The people are waking up, and the age of imperial impunity is over.

Washington Blinks First: Baby Steps in Moscow, But Russia Holds All the Cards
Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff heading to Moscow isn’t a negotiation, not yet. It’s a reality check. The empire knows it’s losing, but it needs to stage-manage the retreat, to make its inevitable defeat look like a strategic recalibration instead of a humiliating collapse.
Because let’s be honest: Moscow won this war before it even started. NATO is depleted, Ukraine is a graveyard, the EU is bankrupt, and the BRICS+ bloc is expanding by the minute. The global chessboard is shifting from unipolar fantasy to multipolar reality. But Washington can’t afford to admit this outright, not to its vassals, not to its media, and certainly not to the American public already seething over another imperial disaster.
So, what’s the play? Face-saving. The US needs a way to exit Ukraine without looking like it’s being kicked out. They’ll demand meaningless “concessions” from Moscow to save political face. But Russia doesn’t need to give them anything. This war ends on Russia’s terms, on the battlefield, not at the negotiating table.
We’ve seen this script before:
• Vietnam, 1975: The US loses but pretends it was a “noble cause.”
• Afghanistan, 2021: The US loses, but Biden blames Trump.
• Ukraine, 2024-2025: The US loses, but Zelensky gets the knife in the back.
And NATO? The great “defensive alliance” that couldn’t even defend its own ammo stockpiles? This is their Suez Crisis moment, an irreversible turning point where the entire world sees Western power for what it really is: a declining empire trying to control the future with outdated threats.
Meanwhile, Russia has all the time in the world. It’s militarily, economically, and diplomatically stronger than ever. The Kremlin isn’t rushing for a less than perfect peace, it’s waiting for reality to sink in. Because when the US comes crawling for a real deal, they won’t be dictating terms.
This isn’t about negotiations. This is about Washington slowly accepting that it lost.
And when the smoke clears, the multipolar world moves forward to the next battle.

🇷🇺 An Aurus Senat caught fire in central Moscow today.
Which wouldn’t even be a big story if The Sun (a literal tabloid) hadn’t taken the original report from SHOT, added some spice to it, and then retarded Western influencers on X used it to fish for clicks.
This is what happens when Elon tells everyone they’re a journalist. Common sense would tell you that a vehicle in Putin’s fleet would never be parked on a random street in Moscow in front of a restaurant unguarded. Secondly, if it were his vehicle, civilians would NOT be that close to it even if it were on fire.
Use your brains. PLEASE we beg.
Also, ACTUAL JOURNALISTS know not to take THE FUCKING SUN as a credible source.

The Empire Strikes Itself:
Liberation Day or Desperation Day?
Trump just lit the fuse. “Liberation Day”, a universal tariff regime on all U.S. imports, isn’t much of a trade strategy. It’s a euphemism for controlled economic demolition. A last ditch rear guard action, made in panic by the Empire.
But it does have the unintended consequence of being a funeral pyre for neoliberalism, the final act of a rentier empire that offshored its manufacturing, hollowed out its working class, and sold its soul to Wall Street derivatives and Silicon Valley surveillance.
The U.S. can no longer outcompete. So it’s trying to out-tariff.
Let’s be clear: this isn’t about protecting domestic industry. America’s industrial base was dismantled decades ago. There are no foundries, no machine-tool factories, no national industrial plan. This is like slapping a steel dome on a house that already burned down.
So why do it?
Because the elites are panicking.
Because the dollar is losing its supremacy, brick by BRICS.
Because real assets: energy, minerals, manufacturing—are migrating east. And because the Global South is no longer playing by the script.
Trump didn’t declare a trade war. He just declared war on globalization’s corpse. What Trump has done is expose the rot. Wall Street hates it. Silicon Valley hates it. Davos hates it.
And that’s the point or at least the unintended beauty of it. The chaotic circus ringmaster is bringing down the house, quite litterally.
The empire is no longer hiding its decline. So it may as well weaponizing it. From its point of view of course.
Universal tariffs won’t rebuild America, they’ll raise prices, slash margins, and speed up de-dollarization as the rest of the world builds supply chains that bypass U.S. control altogether.
And for all the panic on CNBC and in the Moody’s press releases, you know what? Good. Let them panic.
Let the algorithmic traders, overleveraged hedge funds, and globalist NGOs feel a fraction of the instability they exported to the Global South for 40 years.
Liberation Day isn’t really about America. It’s about the system revealing its terminal fragility.
Trump, whether by instinct or ignorance, just set fire to the neoliberal scaffolding. Now comes the smoke, the price shocks, the screams from Wall Street, and underneath it all, the slow, painful rebirth of sovereignty for the Global Majority, so long as the world has the courage to grab it.
Not neat. Not elegant. But necessary.
it's an easy equation for me. You either build industrial capitalism or you decay into financial parasitism. And when the parasites start eating themselves, you know the system’s done.
So buckle up!
Liberation Day isn’t the beginning of greatness. It’s the beginning of the end of the empire’s economic illusion.

Imperial Overreach: Washington’s Reckless Yemen Escalation Unmasked
In yet another disturbing chapter in Washington’s endless narrative of ‘peace through violence,’ the United States has launched sweeping airstrikes against Yemen’s Houthi-controlled territories, tragically killing 31 Yemenis and injuring over 100, according to Yemeni Health Ministry spokesman Anis Al-Asbahi. This latest barrage targeted the capital Sanaa and regions across Saada, Dhamar, Al-Bayda, Radaa, Hajjah, and Marib, executed under the orders of US Secretary Marco Rubio, with active participation from British KC2 Voyager tankers, another grim reminder of NATO’s complicity in America’s forever wars.
These strikes, cynically justified by Rubio as a response to an alleged “unrelenting campaign of piracy, violence, and terrorism,” follow Houthi declarations to resume attacks on Israeli vessels in the Red and Arabian Seas, citing Israel’s cruel blockade against humanitarian aid to Gaza. In essence, Washington, acting as Tel Aviv’s global enforcer, chooses aggression over diplomacy, conflating resistance with terrorism and sovereignty with defiance.
The real story beneath the Pentagon’s flashy bravado is unmistakable. A decade ago, as Brigadier General Abdullah bin Amer recalled, a Gulf coalition arrogantly boasted it would crush the Houthis within “two weeks.” A decade later, Yemen remains unconquered and defiant. This latest round of U.S. military bravado, involving drones, fighter jets, and surveillance aircraft, supported by Britain’s military assets from Cyprus, will likewise end in humiliation.
Yemen is the Vietnam of the Arabian Peninsula, a resilient nation against whom empires break. Washington, drunk on the illusions of dominance, refuses to learn that military might cannot subdue a people willing to bleed for sovereignty. Just as with Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria, American bombs may destroy buildings but never break the spirit of resistance.
This latest escalation underscores the grotesque hypocrisy of the global order: the ICC chases minor leaders in Africa and Asia yet turns blind eyes to Netanyahu’s genocidal violence in Gaza or Biden’s catastrophic Afghan exit. Such hypocrisy is not lost on the Global South, now watching closely as Yemen becomes yet another battleground where imperial delusions unravel spectacularly.

This latest escalation underscores the grotesque hypocrisy of the global order: the ICC chases minor leaders in Africa and Asia yet turns blind eyes to Netanyahu’s genocidal violence in Gaza or Biden’s catastrophic Afghan exit. Such hypocrisy is not lost on the Global South, now watching closely as Yemen becomes yet another battleground where imperial delusions unravel spectacularly.

Auto War: Trump Hits Tokyo and Frankfurt with a Sledgehammer
Trump’s trade war just went nuclear again, this time slamming the global auto industry with a 25% tariff hammer that sent shockwaves through European and Asian markets. The move, touted by Trump as a bold step toward reviving American manufacturing, has already vaporized over $14 billion in market value from Europe’s largest carmakers, according to The Telegraph. From Frankfurt to Tokyo, the message was clear: the United States is no longer playing by the old rules.
Japan took a heavy blow. Toyota’s shares dropped 2%, Nissan lost 1.7%, and Honda tumbled 2.5% in response to the announcement. This isn’t just investor jitters, it’s economic reality. Automobiles make up nearly 28.3% of Japan’s total exports to the U.S., pumping out roughly $63 billion annually. According to estimates from Nomura Research Institute, Trump’s tariffs could slice 0.2% off Japan’s GDP, about $8 billion gone, evaporated by the stroke of a presidential pen. The timing couldn’t be worse for Tokyo. With consumer inflation already above target, the Bank of Japan had been eyeing a long-awaited rate hike in May. That window may have just slammed shut.
Japan’s Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba kept his response measured, stating Tokyo is evaluating “what’s best for Japan’s national interest,” and that all options are on the table. But the subtext was clear: Japan’s political class is scrambling to recalibrate its approach in the face of Washington’s increasingly erratic protectionism.
For Trump, this isn’t just economic policy, it’s domestic theater. He claims the tariffs will generate $100 billion annually in tax revenue and revive an American auto industry hollowed out by decades of neoliberal outsourcing. The tariffs are scheduled to kick in on April 2, with a second wave targeting car parts one month later. Meanwhile, S&P Global Mobility reports that nearly half of all new passenger vehicles sold in the U.S. last year were manufactured abroad, underscoring how deeply integrated America’s auto market has become with the very nations now under fire.
But here’s where it gets deeper and darker.
This isn’t just about trade. It’s about empire in retreat, turning in on its own vassals. Trump is torching what remains of transatlantic and transpacific economic cooperation, turning Germany and Japan from loyal vassals into collateral damage. This is the late-stage imperial reflex: when you can’t win against China or Russia, you cannibalize your own "allies" to buy time and votes at home.
Europe, already battered by energy shocks and NATO overreach, now watches as its industrial core is gutted by the very hegemon it once pledged allegiance to. Japan, caught between hosting U.S. bases and courting Chinese trade, is learning the hard way what multipolarity means: adapt or perish.
This is the “America First” doctrine in its final form, not strategy, but economic Darwinism. Allies be damned. Supply chains be damned. Stability be damned. Trump doesn’t care if Tokyo burns or Frankfurt bleeds, as long as Michigan gets a few more factory jobs and the illusion of sovereignty returns to dying Rust Belt towns. Funny thing is many of these don't have recripocrical tarrifs at least until now, but the US simply couldn't complete.
The irony? While Washington imposes tariffs to build cars at home, Russia and China are building a new world economy, outside the dollar, outside dinosaur SWIFT, and increasingly outside the gravitational pull of American policy altogether. Eurasia is rising. BRICS is expanding. And the West, led by a tariff-throwing real estate mogul turned messiah, is punching its allies in the face, again. I love it.
What began as a trade war is ending as a self-inflicted collapse.
