Approximately 60 drones were launched from Ukraine overnight to attack the Russian capital city of Moscow. This is the largest escalation of drone/missile attacks into Russia so far.
The attack comes, predictably, as Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Nat Sec Advisor Mike Waltz and President Trump envoy Steve Witkoff arrive in Saudi Arabia for preliminary face-to-face talks with Ukraine officials. The pattern repeats.
Each time President Trump’s diplomatic team are scheduled to meet with Russia or Ukraine officials in their quest to stop the bloodshed, the intelligence apparatus in control of the NATO proxy war triggers an escalating disruption targeting Russia.
Hitting Moscow with a wave of 60 drones is a major escalation, because face-to-face meetings with U.S and Ukraine officials are at a critical inflection point. Each uptick in the offensive action from Ukraine is directly proportional to the increased seriousness of the peace talks.
Donald Trump continued his budding trade war with Canada by pledging to ‘just get it all back’ with stiffer reciprocal tariffs next month – as Ontario Premier Doug Ford threatened to knock his lights out.
The Ontario premier, who runs Canada‘s most populous province, now says he’s ready to ‘shut the electricity off completely’ if America continues to ‘escalate.’
Trump has shot back, mocking Ford’s plan and saying that his promise of reciprocal tariffs will render anything Ontario does useless.
‘Despite the fact that Canada is charging the USA from 250% to 390% Tariffs on many of our farm products, Ontario just announced a 25% surcharge on ‘electricity,’ of all things, and you’re not even allowed to do that,’ he said in a Truth Social.
However, Trump said that the US will ‘just get it all back on April 2,’ when the administration’s reciprocal tariff plan goes into effect.
Trump continued to take shots at his neighbors to the north before declaring he was on the way to making America great again.
‘Canada is a Tariff abuser, and always has been, but the United States is not going to be subsidizing Canada any longer. We don’t need your Cars, we don’t need your Lumber, we don’t your Energy, and very soon, you will find that out,’ he promised.
ONE: Incorporate Greenland and Canada into USA; form a strong collective alliance with Russia, Europe, Japan, Korea, and other Western-derived and northern nations. This will improve USA and the world immensely, while greatly reducing the chances of another major war. TWO: There is a reasonable possibility Trump will use the NSA database to map out all relationships between and among the very large parasite that has infested USA and the West. If he does that and uses those findings to extirpate that parasite with precision, USA and the West will be freed from the worst drain on their creativity and genius there has ever been. Both of these outcomes are possible. Trump seems to be aware of them and moving in a direction that can make them happen. The above describes probably the best practical outcome we can hope for on this planet. Add to it wise use of new technology, and a good future for the earth will be all but assured. ABN
Donald Trump is pressuring Volodymyr Zelensky to accept a raft of new terms if the Ukrainian President wants to end the bloody and protracted conflict with Russia – while admitting the country ‘may not survive anyway.’
The ambitious new terms will be combined with a proposed mineral deal that blew up during tense negotiations that culminated in a public Oval Office spat between Trump, Zelensky, and Vice President JD Vance.
Trump has now upped the ante on his original requests, insiders claim, demanding Zelensky call an election and potentially step down as leader in order to secure military aid and intelligence access from the US.
Trump is also expecting Zelensky to be open to relinquish territory to Russia in the name of striking a peace deal, NBC reports.
‘We want to do anything we can to get Ukraine to be serious about getting something done,’ Trump told reporters on Sunday.
Earlier in the day he was asked about the future of Ukraine and sensationally admitted: ‘Well, it may not survive anyway.’
The huge trio of concessions mark a monumental shift from his initial request, which was for Ukraine to grant the United States a stake in critical mineral resources in exchange for the military aid granted in the fight against the Russian invasion.
While Zelensky has vowed to work with Trump to get a deal over the line, he has repeatedly warned that Russia will ‘wage war’ on NATO and Europe if given the means to do so.
Consider this an escalation once President Trump is briefed. Overnight, someone, claimed by media to be Ukraine, launched a targeted series of drone attacks against the KINEF oil refinery in the Leningrad region of Russia.
The refinery is approximately 800 to 1,000 kilometers from where western intelligence operators are assembled to support Ukraine. This distance means someone within NATO has violated President Trump’s order to withdraw ‘long-range’ targeting system operation, and/or someone within NATO has provided an alternative.
When President Trump stopped “intelligence sharing” with Ukraine, what he technically did was stop allowing Ukraine to use exclusive USA targeting systems controlled by U.S Intelligence, the CIA, the National Reconnaissance Office and the U.S. National Geospatial Intelligence Agency.
These terrain mapping systems, the missile and drone targeting systems, are what military forces inside Ukraine need to carry out offensive drone and missile attacks against Russian forces. However, two drones were launched on the night of Saturday March 8th and were shot down as they approached the KINEF refinery, damaging one external oil tank.
Who launched them, and what targeting system was used?
On Croatian Television channel 4. Vladimir Putin was allowed to speak.
He addressed the Europeans: “Russia has never been and will never be your enemy!
We do not want European raw materials and wealth, we have our own raw materials and wealth, we absolutely do not need your raw materials. Russia is the richest country in the world in terms of raw materials.
We do not want your land or your territory. Look at how wide Russia is on the map. Russia is twice the size of the whole of Europe in one place. What would we need your land for, what do we do with it?
Why do you think Russia is an enemy of Europe? What damage has Russia done to you?
Have we sold you gas and raw materials at lower prices than the prices at which your “friends” are currently selling you? YES
Did Russia sacrifice 20 million people in World War II to get rid of the Nazis? YES
Was Russia the first country to help Europe during the Covid pandemic? YES
Did we help Europe when there were fires and natural disasters? YES
What has Russia done to you that you hate it so much?
Russia is not your enemy; your real enemies are your leaders, those who lead you!”
100%! Russia and Europe are natural allies. It is savage stupidity to pretend otherwise, let alone actively provoke war with Russia. European leaders are very obviously either: 1) complete morons or 2) bribed and blackmailed by a non-European subversive organization that hates both Russians and Europeans. ABN
I have watched about half of this. It is well worth viewing. Important to listen to dialog between two reasonable people, one Ukrainian and the other Russian, with some nuance. In an important sense, the war between Russia and Ukraine can serve as a warning to the West—what we want is not a war between the West and Russia but an alliance between the West and Russia. With Trump this is entirely achievable. Rather than continue this tragedy and make it worse, we have now the chance to turn it around and make everything much better. Russia, Europe, USA — all friendly and benefitting mutually from the resources and talents of each other. This is what statesmen look for and achieve. ABN
A White House official said Trump is focused on reaching a peace deal to end the more than three-year war sparked by Russia’s all-out invasion of Ukraine, and wants Zelensky ‘committed’ to that goal.
The official added that the U.S. was ‘pausing and reviewing’ its aid to ‘ensure that it is contributing to a solution.’ The official spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the assistance.
