President Donald oTrump threatened Russia on Monday that it will face extreme tariffs if it doesn’t end its war with Ukraine within 50 days, while at the same time announcing plans for “aggressive” new weapons transfers to Kiev via NATO.
Using his familiar language of being “very, very unhappy” with Vladimir Putin, Trump emphasized that his patience had run its course with the Russian leader’s refusal to end his 3.5-year-old war with Ukraine.
“We’re going to be doing very severe tariffs if we don’t have a deal in 50 days, tariffs at about 100 percent,” Trump said during an Oval Office meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.
Trump said these would be “secondary tariffs,” meaning they would target Russia’s remaining trade partners, making them particularly devastating because any country that does trade with Russia would be hit with 100 percent tariffs on its goods coming into the U.S.
On the flip side, this could also devastate the U.S. economy because Russia’s biggest ally and one of its biggest trading partners is China. Imagine if there were 100 percent tariffs on all Chinese goods coming into America. Inflation would soar through the roof.
Trump and NATO chief Rutte also announced a creative financing deal in which the NATO military alliance would buy arms from the United States, including not just Patriot anti-missile batteries but offensive weapons as well, and then send them to Ukraine to help it battle Russia’s invasion.
Trump said, “billions of dollars’ worth of military equipment is going to be purchased from the United States, going to NATO… and that’s going to be quickly distributed to the battlefield (in Ukraine).”
Since the U.S. is by far the biggest component of NATO, accounting for more than 70 percent of its total funding, this is a bit like the U.S. selling weapons to itself and then funneling them to its proxy against Russia.
It’s like a corrupt corporate titan setting up a separate entity, a shell corporation, that washes the money before sending it out to enrich the titan’s family members.
Rutte said Ukraine would get “massive numbers” of weapons under the deal.
Russia has been winning this war, consistently taking territory from the enemy in recent months, which is why Putin doesn’t want to stop fighting. What party to any war in history ever wanted a ceasefire when they were on the brink of victory?
But Trump is trying to intervene in a way that he hopes will pressure Putin to do exactly that.
The risk is that Putin reacts by taking the war directly to NATO, something he definitely doesn’t want to do, but may feel like he has no choice with the alliance continuing to escalate its support for Ukraine.
We elected Trump to end this war because it always had the potential to blow up into World War III. Having failed to do so, Trump thinks he’s figured out a way to change the narrative. Instead of the U.S. funding the war with taxpayer-funded weapons and aid, he’s now saying that he can keep the war going in a way that actually profits the U.S. treasury. Pure smoke and mirrors!
If Trump’s supporters fall for this one, then he’s just hoodwinked them into backing a plan that allows him to pursue what I believe was the goal all along — to keep the war against Russia going while claiming it’s not costing us anything. That’s what the British and U.S. governments wanted all along, in my opinion. They just had to figure out a way to flip the narrative in such a way that conservative America-first patriots could buy into it.
Are you ready to buy in?
I personally don’t believe Trump was ever a genuine America-first patriot who was against the neocons and their perpetual foreign wars. From the full-throated endorsement of neocon Senators like Lindsey Graham, to the bombing of Iran and the threats of militarily taking over Greenland, this is not a “peace president.”
But they needed a slogan that would draw in the patriots and “America first” fit the bill. Let me know in the comments below if you agree or disagree.
What’s the bottom line? The United States neocons win again, figuring out a way to continue a war that very likely will keep escalating to the point of World War III. I know some folks say we’re already in World War III, and to an extent that’s true, but the type of full-on WWIII scenario I’m talking about would include attacks on U.S. soil, likely starting with drone and conventional missile attacks, and ultimately going nuclear.
Trump is playing with fire by treating Putin and Russia the same way he treated the mullahs of Iran — accept my peace deal or I will bomb you harder. The U.S. used Israel to deliver the punch to Iran and it’s using Ukraine to deliver the blow to Russia. But Russia isn’t Iran. You back the bear up into a corner and he’s going to bite. And when he finally does bite, he’s going to bite hard. This won’t end well for the United States of America. Pray for peace while preparing for war.
“Are the white gopyim ready to srartingand boatngthusiasrs wairling” — what’s this all about????
“The U.S. used Israel to deliver the punch to Iran and it’s using Ukraine to deliver the blow to Russia.” — I knew this ((( Hohmann ))) creature is a clown. The yids didn’t deliver any punch to Iran. Only fools and lying kikes think so.
It was Iran that delivered a knock-out blow to the kikes. That’s why they squealed for a cease fire.
Putin has very recently stated what he and serveral other prominent Russians have said in the past, and it’s basically as follows.
‘If Russia can’t be part of the global community, able to participate in economic and cultural endeavours, then there will be no Russia”. The last five words are from Putin’s most recent statement.
What he means by’ there will be no Russia’, means ‘there will be nothing’. My interpretation, is that there won’t be anything left after a nuclear WW3.
Putin has previously said: ‘I can’t imagine a world without Russia, so there won’t be a world’.
Of course, Putin says this only in respect of Russias sovereign right to be an independent state. The Nazis have a similar position. Their position is that they will control the world, or there won’t be a world to control.
Naxi idiot Lindsey Graham has said some telling words. He was berating China, saying they are getting CHEAP oil from Russia. Surely it’s none of the Nazis business what price Russia charges for its oil or gas.
You see, the Nazis want market control, or should I say, the City Crime Cartels, and Wall Street mobs wants market controls, because Russia sells its oil, gas, and commodites at a fair price, which is much lower than what is required in debt ridden bankrupt Nazi regimes. Europe built its fantastic economy based on cheap Russian gas and oil. There’s nothing wrong with this, but it didn’t compute with Nazi UK and Nazi Amerika.
The Nazis are desperate to provoke Putin, who now faces much higher tariffs. There’s no point quoting numbers, because Donald Hitler will change his tiny mind several times before this gets posted.
I don’t reckon Russia has made it clear, under what conditions it would stop fighting. Vlad says he wasnts to get to the ‘root causes’ of the war. What is that supposed to mean? You cannot hope to do that while missiles are flying. I wish the two sides would just agree to stop fighting now and take the present boundary between the two armies as being permanent – East is Russia, West is Ukraine. Russia should just drop its other conditions for the present – non-membership of NATO, mainly – in order to reach a ceasefire. Just let Trump take the credit for a ceasefire – now!
The morons are still having difficulty figuring out all this is being coordinated between NATO & Russia to waste whitey. Remember, mongrel moshiach won’t arrive until Amalek (whites: germanic-celtic-slavic)) is decimated to the edge of extinction. now you know
Remember drumpt’s goal is to kill as many Ukraine’s as possible as a gift to the chabad lubavichers talmud cult that he is a member of so they can easily take over the land.
Nico X–remember me saying that in April 2022? No, because it spoils your fun when another human has to be acknowledged

true, it won’t end until Rothschild instructs his two Chabad gangster ghouls (Zelensky/Putin) to end the whiteocide…they might extend it until they igniteWaste Whitey III or end it after 10 or so years like the US-Vietnam staged war in the 1960s-70s, which was a setup to ice more white males in.
lewis,
if true, then why are you now guzzling and regurgitating the putintard propaganda?
Nicholas Kollesterom: is this really you saying this rubbish?
The Russia was forced into this war/SMO, the Nazis wanted this war, maybe they’d have prefered to have overrun the Dombas and then moved into Crimea, but the Russians countered, because Biden rejected meaningful conversations with Russia on UKraine, and a security deal for Russia.
This war is not for Russia to stop. Donald Hitler admitted Nazi NATO defeat by the Russians. The only reason why this is not accepted, is the fact that Putin knows Nazi Amerika is in a very bad place and as Putin said, DH is in grave danger, so demanding surrender could make things far worse than they already are.
Putin can’t stop the war, and he knows it, and one reason for the slow progress. Preserve Russian troops, but the war can only end if Russians basic terms are met. The Nazis know damn well what they are. Several prominent Nazis have said ‘The Russians expect too much’, which is a MAGA daft thing to say, because these very basic terms are the security and sovereignty of Russia, and the Nazis won’t agree, so the war goes on, and on, and on.
I’ve been saying this from the get go, don’t waste your time doing anything with Nazis. My idea that Russia should have used tactical nukes on day 7, would have ended the war, but Russia still wouldn’t have a basic deal. We’re all talking about a basic deal, but there’s so much more.
There’s the compensation for the Russian costs, compensation to families of the dead, to the wounded, infrastructure, stolen Russian assets, stolen personal assets and compensation. The bill is in the trillions, this is what the Nazis should be paying, but Putin is Weak, he’s far too kind, and he’s in part responsible, because for some very peculiar reason, he thinks the free world can coexist with the Nazis, and on that point, Putin is 100% wrong. You can’t negotiate with a Satanic hater cult like the Nazis.
