COMMENT: Marty, Thanks for the WEC. I agree with many, it was your finest ever. I’ve re-watched it twice and choose up new issues each the time. The distinction of arrays on Europe vs USA confirms sadly that Socrates will probably be right and your effort to stop WWIII will fail. However it does seem that you could be achieve retaining the US out of struggle right here in Europe. I’m taking my household out of right here. They’re introducing a conscription invoice right here in Germany. Thanks for that. You may scent struggle is within the air. The press is not going to inform the reality and there’s nothing Putin can do or say that they don’t criticize and subconsciously are telling Europeans Russia is weak and will be simply defeated.
Our European powers have once more rallied behind Ukraine on Monday after President Trump blasted Zelensky a day prior, accusing him of not bothering to learn the U.S.-proposed peace plan to finish the Russia-Ukraine struggle. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer stated: “We stand with Ukraine.” German Chancellor Merz and French President Macron concurred.
Right here in Germany, DER SPIEGEL, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and French President Emmanuel Macron in a secret name stated that the U.S. might betray Ukraine and Europe. I believe that is in step with your peace plan they usually reject. They didn’t wish to hear Trump say that Europe is erasing its tradition with migration and has turn out to be irrelevant.
No person appears to ask what number of Europeans are they keen to sacrifice this time for struggle? I might have thought Europe would have discovered. That clip you had of Merkel and Hollande saying the aim of making the EU was to eradicate struggle appears to solely seek advice from internally. So now they need all of Europe to invade Russia. It by no means ends. I actually don’t perceive why humanity all the time loves struggle.

REPLY: We’re about to enter the third Wave 2026.03137 (January 11-12, 2026). It’s extremely questionable if the EU will survive past 2030.330137. Europe won’t ever settle for peace as a result of these leaders are broke and they’re robbing Russians in entrance of your entire world.
As much as 80% of the “Russian Assets” which have been seized, belong to Russian people – not the state. On the private-side: reporting in 2023 estimated that non-public Russian property topic to freeze within the EU (yachts, villas, personal accounts, company holdings, and many others.) amounted to about US $58 billion. However the international reserves that have been seized are usually not purely state belongings. The central financial institution was holding international accounts of all varied Russian firms and people doing enterprise with the West. It is a violation of Worldwide Regulation and the EU doesn’t give a shit as a result of the European Press is so anti-Russia that they may by no means report the reality.
As of early 2025, Swiss authorities reported that round 7.4 billion Swiss francs (≈ US $8.4 billion) in Russian-owned belongings had been frozen. That features belongings linked to people / firms topic to sanctions (actual property, luxurious items, and many others.) in addition to holdings tied to the Russian Central Financial institution. Underneath Swiss regulation, outright confiscation of legally acquired personal belongings of Russians — just because they’re Russian — was deemed unconstitutional (as of 2023) by the Swiss Federal Council (not a “court”) on February fifteenth, 2023 accepted the conclusion of a working group from the Federal Workplace of Justice (FOJ) that confiscation of frozen personal Russian belongings can be unconstitutional below Swiss regulation and violate the authorized order.
The EU has violated worldwide regulation and has ignored the truth that the Ukrainian Civil Warfare was instigated by Ukrainians in Kiev and labeled everybody within the Donbas as a Terrorist. Putin even requested that they rescind that terrorist classification to justify attacking the ethic Russians in Crimea and the Donbas.
Solely after the Ukrainians have been brazenly killing Russians on the streets of Odessa and burned them alive did the Donbas declare its independence for which Kiev then declared them to be terrorists. The West needed this struggle with Russia and the press refuses to report the reality cheering on World Warfare III with each story they write. Our laptop warns this would be the finish of European civilization.
Billions are vanishing and these politicians converse nothing concerning the corruption in Ukraine which makes one marvel what they’re making on the sidelines? Public reporting on precisely which European firms have lively contracts to provide weapons to Ukraine is commonly partial, aggregated, or confidential to guard politicians. Many supply-contracts are mediated by way of governments, export licences, or procurement coalitions. The truth that these politicians NEVER criticize Zelensky for the corruption is telling implying they’ve their hand on this cookie jar.
Even when firms are recognized, shareholding information of particular person EU politicians (members of parliaments, governments, and many others.) is often very opaque, hardly ever if ever disclosed in a approach that connects them to defense-industry shareholdings — that means publicly documented instances are very restricted. That stated, some European firms recognized to provide Ukraine (or facilitate provides), there’s little or no verifiable public proof that EU-politicians are vital shareholders in them.
Czechoslovak Group (CSG) protection conglomerate has explicitly provided Ukraine. In keeping with publicly accessible information, in 2022 roughly 41% of its income got here from deliveries to Ukraine; in 2023 it was round 23%. Its exports embrace 155 mm and 152 mm artillery rounds, T-72 “Avenger” tanks, BMP-1/2 infantry combating automobiles, multiple-launch rocket methods (e.g. RM-70 Vampire, BM-21 MT STRIGA), self-propelled howitzers (DANA M2, DITA), amongst others.
Then there’s Rheinmetall (Germany). Once more, I discovered no public breakdown exhibiting “Rheinmetall → Ukraine” below a named contract. But, Rheinmetall is broadly considered one of many main European protection producers benefiting from the surge in European army spending tied to the struggle. Its enterprise growth is strongly correlated with elevated demand for ammunition, armored automobiles, and different army gear in response to the struggle.
Smaller or mid-sized European companies are additionally on the take. The variety of smaller or midsize European ammunition / defense-component companies are in provide chains that now assist Ukraine or NATO rearmament. For example, a 2025 educational examine on European ammunition & grenade manufacturing outlines structural shifts in supply-chains, partly pushed by demand associated to Ukraine as reported within the Scandinavian Journal of Army Research.
Regardless of substantial arms enterprise, I discovered just about no credible, publicly verifiable instances the place an EU politician is documented as a shareholder — or main shareholder — in an organization supplying Ukraine. That is merely being coated up. Shareholding disclosures for a lot of European politicians don’t all the time require them to declare holdings in privately held or personal firms (particularly protection companies). They made certain the legal guidelines they write all the time exonerate themselves.
Even when holdings are declared, they hardly ever specify the size, affiliated subsidiaries, or whether or not the corporate has protection contracts — so linking a politician to “arms supply to Ukraine” turns into almost unattainable. I’ve discovered NOBODY within the press who has even bothered to produce any well-documented examples of a sitting EU politician with materials shareholding in a agency recognized to provide Ukraine. WHY? Curiously, a 2025 Scandinavian Journal of Army Research on ammunition supply-chains mentions “companies and inter-institutional relationships,” however doesn’t doc any politician possession.
Many protection companies are privately held or structured by way of holding firms / trusts, which makes public shareholding disclosures more durable to hint. There aren’t any political transparency guidelines price something they usually range considerably throughout EU member states. Some require solely restricted disclosure; in others politicians might maintain stakes not directly (by way of holdings, blind trusts, household companies, pension funds), complicating public traceability.
What we do know is definite, is that contract arms pipelines sometimes contain governments, intermediaries, export licences, not direct business gross sales — that means “company X supplies Ukraine” might not seem in public procurement lists even when gear finally ends up on the battlefield.
The mix of opacity (in shareholding) and oblique contract pipelines signifies that even well-informed public investigations might miss such connections as a result of that is saved very backstage. When these politicians consistently advocate struggle, if they’re making a fortune on supplying Ukraine and sending individuals to their deaths, it appears no person is keen to even open the door and ask a query when European Warfare is now turning into inevitable.
America grew to become the monetary capital of the world after Britain entered World Warfare I with no direct menace in opposition to the British individuals. Britain’s official declaration of struggle on August 4th, 1914, was primarily in response to Germany’s violation of Belgian neutrality. Nevertheless, the explanations have been extra deeply rooted. Britain was not threatened. It claimed that the Belgian Neutrality Treaty (1839) was violated as a result of Germany’s Schlieffen Plan required invading France by way of impartial Belgium. Britain was a guarantor (together with different powers) of Belgian neutrality below the 1839 Treaty of London. Ignoring this violation, Britain claimed it might name into query their credibility as a treaty guarantor and nice energy. That call ended London because the monetary capital of the world and it moved to New York.
I’ve been combating laborious backstage to maintain the US out of this subsequent European Warfare to overcome Russia. They may lose. They’re enjoying Russian Roulette with Nuclear Weapons. NATO claims Russia won’t ever push the button as a result of they know what that might imply. However for the reason that EU is NOT attempting to power Russia out of Ukraine, that is concerning the conquest of Russia. If I used to be Putin and I do know the target is to completely destroy Russia, I might push the button.
Admiral Giuseppe Cavo Dragone, chair of NATO’s Army Committee, has not too long ago advised {that a} “pre-emptive strike” in opposition to Russia might, below sure circumstances, be justified as a type of defensive motion. He argued that NATO must shift from being purely reactive (responding after assaults) to presumably “being more aggressive or proactive instead of reactive.” He acknowledged that contemplating “pre-emptive strikes” would depart from NATO’s conventional posture — however that below the strain of ongoing “hybrid warfare” (cyber-attacks, sabotage, airspace violations, and many others.), such choices are being studied. He particularly stated that in sure contexts a pre-emptive strike “could be considered a defensive action.”
That is what I’ve warned about. There are NO RATIONAL individuals in NATO. What he’s justifying is I stroll right into a bar and punch you within the face calling it self-defense as a result of if KNOW you actually needed to hit me first. If we strip away the Ukrainian BS and propaganda, dependable sources in Ukraine affirm that Russia has used hypersonic missiles and Ukraine declare that they’ve been in a position to intercept them 25% of the time is nonsense. They have to launch all 32 missiles of a Patriot Missile System to actually have a doable likelihood at interception. As with every little thing Ukraine places out, there’s hardly something that may be verifiable. They’re extra involved about pretending that they’re profitable to maintain the cash flowing in for his or her Lamborghinis and Ferraris in Monaco. Europe just isn’t going to carry up very effectively in a battle with Russia – it’s suicide.
I can not take credit score for turning Trump. Maybe I’ve contributed, however I’ve no affirmation. His new technique warns Europe faces “the real and more stark prospect of civilizational erasure.” It additionally asserts that if present-day developments proceed with immigration, demographic shifts, low beginning charges, cultural/political adjustments, and suppression of free speech or democratic norms, “the continent will be unrecognizable in 20 years or less.” Sure, that is what our mannequin is forecasting. The EU might not exist submit 2030. Trump’s technique additionally says some NATO members “will become majority non-European,” and that raises “open questions” about whether or not they may see their alliance with the U.S. the identical approach as authentic members. We’re finishing the third wave by September 2nd, 2026. Right here too, NATO and the Neocon started to implement this struggle with Russia in 2021 which was 72 years from its founding in 1949. NATO is in its demise throes between 2026 and 2030.
Humanity’s gravitation towards struggle is a deeply advanced phenomenon with roots in a number of overlapping domains—psychological, social, financial, political, and evolutionary. Somewhat than a single trigger, it’s higher understood as a tragic interaction of many elements. People who find themselves drawn to positions of energy involving battle are deeply entrenched in tribalism. People advanced in teams that competed for sources. This fostered robust in-group/out-group dynamics, the place loyalty to at least one’s group and suspicion or hostility towards outsiders might improve survival. Warfare emerges from such individuals due to their flawed character. It’s amplified group id—nationalism, ethnicity, faith, or ideology.
The Neocons informed President Reagan he mustn’t meet with Gorbachev regardless that they may not name him a communist, so that they reverted to tribalism telling Reagan “you can never trust a Russian.” There isn’t a dialogue with these individuals. I’ve tried they usually have solely confirmed that I used to be an idealistic idiot who although I might make then search the sunshine as an alternative the darkness they carry with them. They all the time reject peace and dwell consumed by their hatred.
States and rulers have typically used struggle to consolidate energy, divert consideration from home issues, or obtain geopolitical targets. The realist is pressured to argue that in a world (it doesn’t matter what its kind Republic, Democracy, Dictatorship, or Monarchy), the thirst for energy is similar simply as justice is similar whatever the type of authorities. Corruption, authoritarianism, lack of democratic checks, and poor governance could make struggle extra possible. Leaders will far too typically prioritize private or regime survival over peace as we’re witnessing in Europe rigt now. Traditionally, empires expanded by way of warfare, pushed by financial exploitation and ideological beliefs in supremacy. The legacy of arbitrary borders and exploited grievances continues to gasoline conflicts. Proper now, European leaders are being pushed by financial necessity to retain energy, however concurrently, they’re blinded by ideological beliefs in supremacy that they’ll displace the USA and rise from the ashes this time from struggle.
