Kremlin insiders spent Wednesday night laughing on Russian state TV after President Donald Trump handed his counterpart, Vladimir Putin, significant concessions in the upcoming peace talks over the war in Ukraine before the negotiations had even begun.

Trump and his administration in recent days have put the kibosh on the notion that Ukraine could become a member of NATO and that it could take back territories currently under Russian control.

Propagandists on Russian state TV and radio broke into elated laughter as Ukraine and its allies were left bewildered. Olga Skabeeva, the host of the Russian state TV program 60 Minutes, called the events “unthinkable” and “unimaginable,” according to Julia Davis, an analyst of Russian media, writing for The Daily Beast.

Skabeeva asked the network’s Europe correspondent Mikhail Antonov: “What does it all mean? Ukraine is left without NATO? Ukraine is left without money?”

Antonov argued that the era of American dominance has ended. He added that Europe wouldn’t be able to provide Ukraine with the same level of military assistance as the U.S. as Skabeeva struggled to hide her glee.

Meanwhile, 60 Minutes co-host Evgeny Popov celebrated that Trump is doing Moscow’s work for it by doing away with Western alliances and cutting Europe into pieces, which the Kremlin aimed to do from the beginning.

Russian TV pundits have said for years that Trump’s return to the White House would mean the end of U.S. aid to Ukraine, which would turn the war in Russia’s direction. But the experts appeared to marvel at the speed at which Trump seems to be doing Moscow’s bidding and that he’s treating Putin as his equal.

War with Russia is coming – unless action is taken

As I have confessed, Putin fooled me as he has fooled and still fools many conservatives. The key aspect about Putin is that you cannot trust a word that comes out of his mouth. Everything he says is to manipulate the audience he is addressing. He controls the Russian population by strictly supervising the media, telling the Russian people a pack of lies, blocking foreign media, and jailing or killing those defying his dictates.

For the Western audience, he has a stock of conservative ideas to shower on them. He focuses on the Christian groups with sentiments about family, religion, and history. Indeed, I once thought he was essentially a Burkean conservative because of his valuing Russian history and its lessons. An appalling mistake that now embarrasses me.

In reality, Putin is a vicious murdering type of Russian Czar who is fixated on rebuilding the Russian empire. Nothing stands in his way. He is in a constant state of recalculating what he says to suit the time, place and audience. That’s the reason he so often contradicts himself – seemingly contradicts himself. He stays unerringly on the line.

If the West does not prepare itself, it might find Putin and his army in its backyard. The interview below with General Richard Shirreff shows just what’s at stake. Shirreff talks about rebuilding the army of the NATO countries. What he does not talk about are the emasculating ideologies that are weakening the West. These ideologies have to be eliminated. The reality is that men fight wars.
