"Why Ukraine WON'T Sign the U.S. "Peace Deal" There's a lot of talk right now about the latest U.S. negotiations under Donald Trump to end the war in Ukraine. From Donald Trump talking to Vladimir Putin and Russia without Ukraine in the room to the offering of the same peace terms that have been rejected multiple times basically amounting to Ukrainian capitulation. In this video I look at all of the pieces carefully including the context and content of past offers of "peace deals" to draw a logical conclusion about the current state of Ukraine negotiations and where things will likely go from"

"Dont Be Fooled - Iran Has Crossed the Point of No Return Protests are erupting all across Iran and the situation is only getting worse. In fact things have now reached a tipping point and the Ayatollah has a plan to flee to Russia. Donald Trump has threatened military intervention which could be imminent. The situation is eerily similar to what caused the collapse of the Persian monarchy and led to the creation of the Iranian regime in the first place - except it's actually even worse. Let's look at what's going and what makes these protests different from protests in previous years - and why"

For years Russia's shadow fleet has evaded sanctions and continued sales to China and India. Most people assumed this was for idealogical reasons and that India and China were Russia's allies. But now that's been flipped on its head showing the relationships are based on little more than mere convenience and personal"

"Why Ukraine WON'T Sign the U.S. "Peace Deal" There's a lot of talk right now about the latest U.S. negotiations under Donald Trump to end the war in Ukraine. From Donald Trump talking to Vladimir Putin and Russia without Ukraine in the room to the offering of the same peace terms that have been rejected multiple times basically amounting to Ukrainian capitulation. In this video I look at all of the pieces carefully including the context and content of past offers of "peace deals" to draw a logical conclusion about the current state of Ukraine negotiations and where things will likely go from"

"Russias Shadow Fleet Just Suffered a FATAL Blow Ukraine has now begun to strike new categories of facilities - pumping stations and loading facilities in both the Black Sea and the Baltic - removing the ability of Russia's shadow fleet to generate revenues. But the impact is bigger than it might even at first seem. Combined with sanctions Ukraine's latest strikes are putting coordinated pressure on Russia's shadow fleet - and the pressure is working. China and India are abandoning Russia signaling a potential beginning of the end of the war in Ukraine. You can support my work by becoming a"

"Ukraine Just Exposed Chinas Greatest Weakness The United States has threatened to impose secondary sanctions on countries that continue to purchase Russian oil. That's interesting but not nearly as interesting as what China's response to this move reveals. We've now seen how quickly China is willing to turn its back on its geopolitical "allies" - but that reveals a whole lot more about China than most people think.

While many people think of Taiwan as a modern geopolitical event the truth is that China has been talking about invading Taiwan for decades - approximately [--] years since the 1970s. Nothing has ever happened. When we understand WHY China hasn't invaded Taiwan yet and we compare it to what is happening today we begin to see a clear picture of why China would likely NOT invade Taiwan in the near"
