Russia is winning, and the only possible peace settlement is to give them everything that they demand: Freedom and safety for Russian minorities in adjacent countries, Nato pullback from Russian borders, freedom for old type Christianity near Russia – and of course, international recognition of the borders that they claim. All of them. Anything less is not going to fly, except as a temporary ceasefire to allow for Ukrainian elections, …

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov outlines peace in the Ukraine
Machine transcription of Youtube video very lightly edited. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov outlines peace in the Ukraine Lavrov: Eliminating root causes of any conflict including Ukrainian conflict this is the only way to to resolve and uh the problem and to establish longlasting peace is remove root causes President Trump was the first and so far I think almost the only one among the uh western leaders who repeatedly …
Russian peace terms remain unchanged
And with the Ukrainian army disappearing on the battlefield, and the Russian army growing and becoming better equipped, if there is change in future, those terms will change for the better for Russia, the worse for Ukraine, and the worse for America. Zero: No deal with Zelenksy. One: Temporary truce leading to UN administration of the Ukraine to hold free and fair elections in the Ukraine, in which the Russian …
Time to crush the judiciary
Disputes over sovereign authority inherently escalate until decisively resolved. Thermidor has unity, because they agree on restoring the Republic — which would be FDR’s version of the Republic, with the president regaining control over the immense, immensely powerful, and lawless, presidency that FDR created. The Republic, however, is dead, and what can be restored is a zombie Republic like that of Augustus Caesar. The founders created three equal branches of …
The Global American Empire in Exile
When the coke addled gnome conspicuously failed to kiss Trump’s ring, and then slobbered all over Starmer’s ring, he was declaring the allegiance of the second most formidable army in Europe to the Global American Empire in Exile. (The most formidable army in Europe being Russia’s.) The Ukraine war has long been a war between CIA funded and run Nazis in Canada continuing Hitler’s war on the Soviet Union. Now …
The Trump Zelensky confrontation
Obviously, the Ukraine needs to sign on to the peace deal, if there is to be a peace deal, and Putin insists that only a plausibly legitimate government can sign, therefore Zelensky needs to be eliminated. So this confrontation serves Trump’s goals. And, because the US is out of ammo, it also serve’s Thermidor’s goals, or at least those of the less insane part of Thermidor. At minimum, they need …
You heard it here first
This blog is not about the news of the day, but the news of the century and the millenium. Which therefore bleeds into the future. So, taking a victory lap. Unnamed “foreign diplomatic sources” are saying the Ukraine peace plan under discussion is a temporary short term ceasefire, followed by an election, followed by an actual peace deal. Reading between the lines, Russian sources. American and Ukrainian “sources” are pushing …
How to make peace in the Ukraine
The Ukraine war is existential for Russia and Russians. Russia has no natural borders, and a long history of the unpleasant consequences of having no natural borders. America’s natural borders are the oceans, and it takes a very dim view of hostile foreign powers on the wrong side of the ocean. Monroe doctrine, Cuban crisis. The Cuban crisis nearly went nuclear, and the Ukraine is likely to go nuclear if …
Autogolpe
I generally do not report on, nor pay attention to, the latest news of the day, because it is best understood years later, or centuries later. And I tend to discourage conversation about such news, because it is noise. The shills send in piles of links to latest noise, and I silently delete them. But the meaning of Trump 2.0 now becomes apparent. So this post is going to be …
Trump thunderbolt of 2025 January 27
With two hundred thunderbolts coming from the president in a week, it is easy to overlook this one in the noise, but he has just struck the heart of the enemy. OPM, the HR of all HR, from which all HRs everywhere in the Global American Empire ultimately derive their power is, as they say in their post on r/fednews, being dismantled. “The non-political civil servants here at OPM are …
