#Trump-Putin soap opera instead of global politics based on principles and international rules continues. Putin wins by destroying Trump's image, positioning him as a weak, easy-to-manipulate, and utterly corrupt politician.

It is a usual practice for Putin to bribe corrupt foreign politicians, often using hidden bearer shares inside the energy deals. Otherwise, it would be inexplicable why Trump and Scholz would agree to a deal benefiting only Russia when Putin attacks an ally - Ukraine and wages a hidden warfare of attrition against both the US and the West, including Germany.

The response is simple. The situation in the Middle East is directly connected to Putin. The deadly Hamas terrorist attack on Israel, which happened on Putin's birthday on October 7, was sponsored by Putin.

Putin needed to divert the attention and resources of the West from Ukraine to the Middle East, and this is precisely what happened. After the Russia-sponsored attack, for more than half a year, Ukraine was deprived of US military aid, and all the attention was redirected to the Middle East, which gave Russia a massive advantage against Ukraine.
Objectively, Donald Trump is not interested in Ukraine's negotiations with Russia. The US is interested in Ukraine's victory over Russia, even if there is still no understanding of it.
However, realizing that the US and the West are already at war with Russia should change this suicidal approach to arming Ukraine. Moreover, if the US and Europe plan to survive in the war with Russia, they should be ready to oppose Russia by all means before it is too late.
The hidden war of attrition against the US, which Russia already wages, will turn into a war of extermination as soon as Russia wins in Ukraine if the West chooses to impose capitulation to Russia on Ukraine instead of strengthening military aid.
Such a strong and devoted partner like Ukraine is a gift to the US. Unfortunately, until now, the US has played into Putin's hands by depriving Ukraine of the weapons and sacrificing Ukraine and Ukrainians.
However, to face Russia's aggression, negotiations with China are necessary, and Marco Rubio, sanctioned by the Chinese government, is not a good choice. He neither projects strength nor trust.
Building a constructive relationship with China will be challenging. Russia uses all possible means to ignite a war between the US and China, which is the cornerstone of its global strategy.
Moscow, by clashing the heads of the two most powerful countries in the world and bleeding them dry, becomes the only global superpower by default. Choosing Marco Rubio as Secretary of State plays into Putin's hands and promotes Russian interests by antagonizing China.
However, unlike Russia, China is an inherently rational player. China's irrationality is a derivative of Russian influence, not an inherent quality.
Economic interests and the issue of survival (Russia is waging a hidden war of attrition against China, too) will shape China's adequate political position if some cultural specifics of China and economic interests are considered.
However, the Secretary of State should have strong economic and business thinking for such an approach. Mike Pompeo had the necessary charisma and was a virtuoso at building political relations with the outside world based on the United States' business and economic interests and creating solid alliances.

Russian peace plan disguised as "Chinese peace plan"
What to know about the Chinese peace plan? There is no Chinese peace plan. China promotes a Russian peace plan disguised as a "Chinese peace plan."
This is an old Russian false flag tactic of promoting its own plans as a third party's plan to increase the chances of its implementation by the weight and authority of the false flag used, in this case, the Chinese flag.
Yes, China has introduced some decorations that should make the plan more acceptable, like phrases about sovereignty and territorial integrity, only to annihilate them with the following demands. Such an approach is hypocrisy as a political strategy - to obtain what Russia wants while preserving a semblance of decency.

Andrey Gurulyov, a deputy of the 8th State Duma for the ruling "United Russia" faction and a former deputy Commander of the Southern Military District of the Russian military, stated lately: "Kazakhs are next after Ukrainians. The decision is taken."
Russia desperately needs Kazakhstan, the largest producer of uranium, accounting for 43% of global production and possessing the biggest Uranium reserves—13% of global reserves. Russia is also mentioned among the major Uranium producers, but Russia processes Kazakh Uranium as Russia does not have its own Uranium deposits. Russia is afraid that it can lose access to Kazakhstan's fields.
Recently to increase the reserves of Uranium, a Russia-sponsored coup d'état in Niger - one of the major producers of Uranium, which led to the expulsion of the West from the country.

Bipartisan legislation would let the U.S. seize $5B to $8B in Russian assets.
The US should lead strongly in seizing Russian assets to prove its credibility as a leader, not follow a European approach restrained by fear, which is definitely much better than no action.
To generate fear, Russians invest massively in fearmongering to scare the West. Fear is the most damaging factor and defining when reacting to Russian aggression.
Russians weaponize fear against the West.
According to Russian Reflexive Control, the mere threats of using nuclear weapons affect the enemies' brains in the same way as the real use of nuclear weapons - paralyzing and disabling them.
The massive threats Russians issue through their propaganda channels do scare the West to death and give Russia a huge advantage - the possibility of defeating the West without using weapons.
The West should overcome fear and act as smoothly as possible while emphasizing the fairness and inevitability of their steps, which are the Russian choice in the first hand.
Did Russia expect to be treated as a respected member of an international community while breaking all the rules?

The Hindustan Times video shows against whom the international coalition is fighting in the Red Sea. Officially, "Iran-backed" Houthis situationally are Russian proxies. Iran in Russia's false flag operation is a convenient cover-up for Russian covert operations and a scapegoat blindly used by Putin in Russia's big game for global dominance.
Biden's reelection directly depends on Putin. Putin's "Golden share" in the American presidential election is the Russia-sponsored third-party candidates, which ultimately decide the destiny of the American elections, shifting the balance in favor of one or another candidate.
This was the case in 2016 when the Green Party candidate shifted the balance in Trump's favor. The same happened in 2020 when the Libertarian candidate decided the election's result, favoring Biden's win.
Both were Putin-sponsored spoilers meant to manipulate the result of the US election, and they did it in both cases very successfully.

Ukraine has to be prepared, and most of all, Ukraine needs offensive weapons. For now, Biden makes Ukraine advance without appropriate weapons, which would lead to the immediate obliteration of the entire Ukraine army by Russian forces, possessing supremacy in the air.
Ukraine can't take chances and doesn't have second chances for simple reasons. It is impossible to resurrect fallen fighters, who, in bulk - are civilians forced by Russian aggression to become soldiers.
Ukraine should do everything to win and to win with minimal losses. Ukraine is a European nation and can't, like Russia, use its people as expandable material.
Ukraine needs more time and weapons to prepare for the final attack, which will undoubtedly be swift and decisive.
