This is huge article with a lot of information to absorb, it is a rational examination of past history that still effects todays infantile behavior of many nations who have the self-destructive absurd hate of Russia which is slowly destroying them in the process while Russia has learned not to trust the West on anything anymore after being let down many times since 1946, has developed a new economic trend away from the west after being sanctioned 10,000 times to South Asia, South America and Africa leaving most of the declining immoral West that is sinking under a mountain of debt and heading towards implosion of their own lawbreaking actions.
The lies by the western media have become so dumb that even some Americans are realizing that Russia are doing so much better than thought as they were supposed to be weak and incompetent militarily, yet they are winning fighting a combined number of about 25 nations of NATO supporting Ukraine, and the economy is good despite up to the estimate of 10,000 sanctions levied against them as they have shifted trade partners to Asia, South America and Africa thus greatly reducing the impact of these stupid sanction to a low effect while their economy is better any nation of snobby Europe countries who are now weaker that Russia economically then there is a the slowly developing growing BRICS that is helping to generate a multi polar economic world that Europe and America fights so hard against while they stupidly implode their now weak economies with a mountain of Debt.
This one is a sticky.

Trump-Putin: a deal, Yalta or no deal?
9 April 2025 by Peter Haenseler
Excerpt:
Trump’s desire to reach an agreement with Putin is palpable. He has many irons in the fire – too many? Witkoff is not sure of the facts, and a lack of historical awareness could become a stumbling block. Putin is waiting – because he can.
Introduction
In our series “The war of two worlds has already begun”, we have drawn up a long-term forecast. Trump sees an agreement with Russia as the basis for being prepared for the long-term competition between the worlds. Trump has many irons in the fire at the same time – possibly too many. In stark contrast to his balanced approach towards Russia, he is behaving extremely aggressively towards all other parties (Iran, Yemen, China, Mexico, Venezuela, Canada, Mexico, Greenland, etc.): carrot for Russia – stick for the rest of the world. In addition, the sword of Damocles of a financial collapse hangs over the red-blonde head of the dealmaker from New York City, who has chosen an envoy in Steve Witkoff who admires his master almost idolatrously.
In this article, I try to assess the chances of an arrangement between the two superpowers. As is so often the case, it is worth taking a look at history, the course of which is viewed completely differently in the US and Russia and could therefore become a stumbling block on the way to an agreement. The chess players in Moscow do not want a deal on Ukraine, but a comprehensive reorganization of relations, which also affects countries towards which the US behaves extremely aggressively. Trump wants quick deals, Putin has time.
We include many facts in this article with the clear understanding that it is impossible to cover everything; an attempt to describe all interdependencies would fail – and tomorrow everything could look completely different again. We are immersing ourselves in a world gone mad.
Historical awareness or lack thereof
Comparisons with Yalta without understanding Yalta
Many commentators speak of a new Yalta Conference, using this meeting as a comparison to the negotiations now taking place, usually without any proper understanding of history.
This conference took place in the vacation residence of Russian Tsar Nicholas II in Yalta, Crimea, between February 4 and 11, 1945, when the outcome of the war in Europe was a foregone conclusion. The “Big Three” (Stalin, Roosevelt and Churchill) discussed and agreed on many points. Some of these were adhered to by the parties, others are concealed today, bent or not adhered to at all. The original text of the Yalta Conference Agreement of February 11, 1945.
In addition to the reorganization of Europe and the founding of the UN, I believe that two points that are regularly omitted were of great importance. The substantial reparation payments to the Soviet Union, which the parties agreed on in principle in this paper, were not carried out or were not carried out sufficiently. Furthermore, many people are not aware that the Americans urgently needed help from the Russians to defeat the Japanese.
