President Trump gave Russia 50 days to strike a peace deal with Ukraine before he enacts secondary tariffs at 100%.

John Bolton and his ugly dead caterpillar mustache must be worse warmonger than most people expected. President Donald Trump's administration convinced Ukraine to accept a ceasefire deal as they now work towards getting Russia to agree. But Bolton says that a ceasefire isn't in Ukraine's best interest. Does he just love war for no reason? Bolton has serious issues and needs to be far and away from politics. If he loves war so much, then send him overseas and let him go fight someone. The Russians and Ukrainians deserve peace, and disgusting human beings like John Bolton continue to push never-ending wars for their own personal gain.

President Donald Trump talks about bringing prisoner Marc Fogel home from Russia: "We worked on it for two weeks... I got him out. I didn't pay $6 billion. I didn't pay anything... He should have been out years ago." Trump is basically calling out Joe Biden for not doing this. Joe Biden, however, had no problem trading a terrorist for Brittney Griner, the disgraced WNBA player.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth talks about Ukraine and says Nato membership is unrealistic. He also confirms that American troops will not be deployed there either. A report on <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/hegseth-rules-out-ukraine-nato-membership-ceasefire-russia/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CBS News</a> talked about it in more detail:<br /><br /> <blockquote> <div>U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said a peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia must include security guarantees for Ukraine, but that they "should not be provided through NATO membership, but must instead be backed by capable European and non-European troops."</div> <div> </div> <div>The defense chief spoke not long before President Trump announced in a social media post that he had agreed with Russian President Vladimir Putin to begin negotiations to end the war in Ukraine, during a phone call with the Russian leader on Wednesday. He said he would be calling Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy immediately "to inform him of the conversation."  </div> <div> </div> <div>In remarks delivered ahead of a closed-door meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group to discuss further aid for Ukraine, Hegseth called Ukraine's goal of returning to its pre-2014 borders — before Russian forces first invaded and started seizing ground, annexing the Crimean Peninsula — an "unrealistic objective."</div> </blockquote>

This could be a huge move by the EU if they start buying oil from the United States instead of relying on Russia. <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/eu-may-consider-replacing-russian-lng-imports-with-those-us-von-der-leyen-says-2024-11-08/" target="_blank">Reuters had some details</a> about the situation:<br /><br /> <blockquote> <div>The European Union could consider replacing Russian liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports with those from the United States, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen told reporters on Friday. "We still get a lot of LNG from Russia and why not replace it by American LNG, which is cheaper for us and brings down our energy prices," said von der Leyen. She said the EU approach to trade policies implemented when Donald Trump takes power again as U.S. president in January will be to engage, look at common interests and negotiate.</div> </blockquote>

Actor and martial arts extraordinaire Steven Seagal was seen warning people about World War III. NY Post reported on Steven Seagal's Russian connection years ago, so it's easy to see why Ukraine may not like Steven Seagal too much. As reported by <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/02/28/putin-pal-steven-seagal-speaks-out-on-ukraine-invasion-i-look-at-both-as-one-family/" target="_blank">NY Post back in 2022</a>:<br /> <blockquote> <p>The “Under Siege” star was appointed as a special envoy for humanitarian ties with the United States by the Russian Foreign Ministry in 2018. The unpaid gig would “facilitate relations between Russia and the United States in the humanitarian field, including cooperation in culture, arts, public and youth exchanges,” according to the agency.</p> <p>In 2021, Seagal was formally inducted into the Pro-Putin A Just Russia — Patriots — For Truth political party at a ceremony.</p> <p>He was granted Russian citizenship in 2016, and defended Russia’s leadership for its annexation of Crimea in 2014, calling Putin “one of the great living world leaders.”</p> <p>Months after he was granted Russian citizenship and personally presented with a passport by Putin, Ukraine deemed the “Hard to Kill” actor a threat to national security and banned him from the country for five years.</p> <p>Seagal’s citizenship was supposed to be a sign of improving relations between the US and Russia.</p> </blockquote>

President Joe Biden did a prisoner swap, trading WNBA player Brittney Griner for the 'Merchant of Death' - a Russian arms dealer who is now running for political office in Russia. <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russian-ex-arms-dealer-freed-brittney-griner-run-far-right-party-local-vote-2023-07-02/" target="_blank">Reuters</a> reported on it, saying the following: "<em>A Russian arms dealer freed last December in a prisoner swap for U.S. basketball star Brittney Griner has been chosen as the candidate of a far-right party for a seat in a Russian regional legislature, state news agency RIA reported on Sunday.</em>" Reuters also stated: "<em>RIA cited an official in Russia's ultra-nationalist Liberal Democratic Party (LDPR)'s local organisation as saying that Bout had been nominated as a candidate for the legislative assembly of the Ulyanovsk region in central Russia.</em>"<br /><br />The video above is older, but shows some more information regarding Viktor Bout.

The so-called coup didn't last very long and is reportedly over. Russian President Vladimir Putin vowed punishment at one point. He's now addressing the situation as the Wagner group appears to have turned around already. So much for that. CNN <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/06/23/europe/russia-mod-wagner-yevgeny-prigozhin-intl/index.html" target="_blank">reported on</a> the incident, and didn't blame Donald Trump for once, saying the following in a Russia news article:<br /> <blockquote> <p>Vladimir Putin is facing the greatest threat to his authority in two decades after the head of the Wagner paramilitary group launched an apparent insurrection, claimed control of military facilities in two Russian cities, and warned that his troops would head for Moscow.</p> <p>Staring down a sudden and staggering escalation of internal tensions that have simmered for months, the Russian president said on Saturday that those on “path of treason” or armed rebellion would be punished.</p> <p>“It is a stab in the back of our country and our people,” he said in an address to the nation, threatening a harsh response for those planning “an armed rebellion.”</p> <p>Putin was speaking after the militia chief and his one-time ally Yevgeny Prigozhin dramatically stepped up his feud with Moscow’s security establishment over the handling of the invasion of Ukraine, throwing the country into crisis with a series of military moves that seemingly took Moscow by surprise.</p> </blockquote>

Tucker Carlson suggests there is an unannounced and undeclared war going on between the United States and Russia. While there is no official war between the United States and Russia, Tucker Carlson of Fox News seems to believe there's something going on or at least brewing. Tucker said the following in an opinion <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/tucker-carlson-telling-truth-only-real-sin-washington" target="_blank">column on Fox News</a> and the video above:<br /> <blockquote> <p>This is a hot war between the two primary nuclear superpowers on Earth and yet this war has never been formally declared.</p> <p>It has not been authorized by Congress and for that reason, this war is a violation of American law. It is a crime. The second thing we learn from these slides is that despite direct U.S. involvement, Ukraine is in fact losing the war. Seven Ukrainians are being killed for every Russian. Ukrainian air defenses have been utterly degraded. Ukraine is losing. The Biden administration is perfectly aware of this.</p> <p>They're panicked about it, but they have lied about this fact to the public. Just two weeks ago, for example, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin told the U.S. Senate that Russian military power is "waning." In other words, Russia is losing the war. That was a lie. He knew it was when he said it, but he repeated it in congressional testimony. That is a crime, but Lloyd Austin has not been arrested for committing that crime.</p> <p>Instead, the only man who has been taken into custody or likely ever will be is a 21-year-old Massachusetts Air National Guardsman who leaked the slides that showed that Lloyd Austin was lying. He revealed the crimes, therefore he's the criminal. </p> </blockquote>

Looks like Russia was playing around and now a USAF unmanned Reaper drone is out of service. It's unclear why this happened, but we have details and it's not a good thing!<br /><br />The MQ-9 Reaper is a remotely piloted aircraft system (RPAS) that is used by the United States Air Force, the United States Navy, and the Royal Air Force. It is primarily used for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), as well as for strike missions. The MQ-9 has a wingspan of 66 feet and can fly for up to 27 hours at a time. It is equipped with a variety of sensors, including infrared cameras, synthetic aperture radar, and laser rangefinders, which allow it to perform a wide range of missions. The MQ-9 has been used extensively in Iraq and Afghanistan, and has also been used in other countries, including Pakistan, Somalia, and Yemen.<br /><br /> <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/russia-jet-us-drone-collide-black-sea/" target="_blank">CBS News</a> reported:<br /><br /> <blockquote> <p>A Russian Su-27 fighter jet collided with an American MQ-9 Reaper drone over the Black Sea on Tuesday, the U.S. military said. U.S. forces brought down the drone in international waters, the U.S. military's European Command said in a statement, and the White House called the Russian plane's intercept of the unmanned aircraft "reckless."</p> <p>"Our MQ-9 aircraft was conducting routine operations in international airspace when it was intercepted and hit by a Russian aircraft, resulting in a crash and complete loss of the MQ-9," U.S. Air Force General James Hecker, commander of U.S. Air Forces Europe and Air Forces Africa, said in a statement.</p> <p>"In fact, this unsafe and unprofessional act by the Russians nearly caused both aircraft to crash," Hecker said.</p> <p>Russian intercepts in the area are common, but this one "is noteworthy because of how unsafe and unprofessional it was, indeed reckless that it was," National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told journalists.</p> <p>Two Russian fighter jets were involved in the incident, European Command said. During what the military called "an unsafe and unprofessional intercept" Tuesday morning, one of the Russian jets struck the drone's propeller, which led to U.S. forces taking the drone down.</p> </blockquote>
