Have I Been Too Effusive in Granting to Trump Recent Understanding and Acquiescence to Russia’s Cause, or Does He Retain ONLY His Most Recently Absorbed Impression?

Has someone changed the tape in Trump’s overnight Subliminal Programming induction, to pull him back from the edge of good sense after Putin, in person, got into his ear?

Two well known and respected geopolitical commentators, both of whom I frequently but not always agree with, appear to have detected a change in direction in Trump’s ‘logic’ – such as it is. Seems to me that it often changes overnight, and I see nothing beyond normal here. I don’t actually float with either of these commentator’s stories in this case, though there are many valid points raised. So, see what you think…

‘Direct NATO Intervention In Ukraine Might Soon Dangerously Turn Into A Fait Accompli’ – Andrew Korybko – Newsletter – August 22, 2025

‘SITREP 8/22/25: Peace Talks Unravel and the March Goes On’ – Simplicius the Thinker – August 22, 2025

I am not going to discuss these respected points of view. I don’t actually have time just now. But I do think the potential changes, threats, warnings, coercion, they represent – however you may describe them – would have been taken into account by the Russians, including the President, before embarking on their course to Alaska and beyond, well before taking that route.

The Russians have been icily steadfast in their deliberations since long before the SMO began and, with nerves of steel, have never deviated one iota from their expressed and unconditional demands necessary for that action to conclude (western press delusions notwithstanding). The western protagonists, who indelibly carry the blame for all that has happened, still (it seems) have no real understanding of any part of this – being over-subscribed to their own delusions – and perhaps possess no capability to understand the principles set forward by the Russians. The west cannot be so blind and deaf in the matter, and so must accede to the idea that they are simply too dumb (feeble-minded) to understand what are really quite simple concepts.

This leads to only one conclusion – they, the west, must be taught the hard lessons, at a personal level, on the battlefield. Many of them will die. Even more of them may simply be vaporised. If any remain, and I think that is a given, since it will not take long for an awakening of sorts on their predicament, to surface. They will sue for peace – as their only realistic option. They are already too weak to prevail, even before the lesson begins. Russia already knows that. I am not sure the west does. Hence the necessity for it to unfold and for some level of newly formed understanding to emerge.

I am talking about the whole west of course. Only then can the world know peace.
