‘Make Europe Great Again’ and more from a longer version of the National Security Strategy

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

“Make Europe Great Again”

While the publicly released NSS calls for the end of a “perpetually expanding NATO,” the full version goes more into the details of how the Trump administration would like to—quote—“Make Europe Great Again,” even as it calls on European NATO members to wean themselves from American military support.

Working from the premise that Europe is facing “civilizational erasure” because of its immigration policies and “censorship of free speech,” the NSS proposes to focus U.S. relationships with European countries on a few nations with like-minded—right-wing, presumably—current administrations and movements.

Austria, Hungary, Italy, and Poland are listed as countries the U.S. should “work more with…with the goal of pulling them away from the [European Union].”

“And we should support parties, movements, and intellectual and cultural figures who seek sovereignty and preservation/restoration of traditional European ways of life…while remaining pro-American,” the document says.

The C5

Over the summer, President Trump made headlines when he lamented the expulsion of Russia from the Group of Eight—now the Group of Seven—as  a “very big mistake.” He even suggested that he’d like to see China added  to form a “G9.”

His national security strategy proposes taking this a step further, creating a new body of major powers, one that isn’t hemmed in by the G7’s requirements that the countries be both wealthy and democratically governed.

The strategy proposes a “Core 5,” or C5, made up of the U.S., China, Russia, India and Japan—which are several of the countries with more than 100 million people. It would meet regularly, as the G7 does, for summits with specific themes.

First on the C5’s proposed agenda: Middle East security—specifically, normalizing relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia. 

“Hegemony wasn’t achievable”

The full NSS also spends some time discussing the “failure” of American hegemony, a term that isn’t mentioned in the publicly released version.

“Hegemony is the wrong thing to want and it wasn’t achievable,” according to the document. 

In this context, hegemony refers to the leadership by one country of the world, using soft power to encourage other countries to consent to being led. 

“After the end of the Cold War, American foreign policy elites convinced themselves that permanent American domination of the entire world was in the best interests of our country,” the NSS states. “Yet the affairs of other countries are our concern only if their activities directly threaten our interests.”

The White House has denied this document, claiming: ‘No alternative, private, or classified version exists’ of the publicized National Security Strategy.

If it looks like a rose and smells like a rose, it probably is a rose. I hope this is US policy, declared or otherwise. ABN

The REAL reason Tina Peters is in prison — Ann Vandersteel

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

The REAL reason Tina Peters is in prison… and why nobody stopped the Venezuelan gang (TDA) takeover of U.S. neighborhoods during the Biden Regime.

Two Venezuelan generals, Carvajal & Alcalá, confessed that Smartmatic wasn’t a voting company… 

It was a military intelligence weapon for altering elections & controlling populations.

And they said the system was exported to the U.S.

Guess who discovered the proof?

Tina Peters

Tina preserved the ONLY complete 2020 Dominion system images in America. 

Colorado + Dominion wiped 29,000 election files statewide.

But her copy survived.

That’s WHY they arrested her.

Not because she broke the law…

But because she DIDN’T let them break it. 

Now here’s where it gets darker.

Patrick Byrne alleges:

Trump lawyer Todd Blanche blocked him from giving evidence to DOJ/FBI

CIA Director Ratcliffe blocked evidence from going to CIA/ODNI 

Former DNI Ric Grenell & Ratcliffe told Trump to “ignore election interference” and focus on a Venezuela rare-earth deal instead

Why would they want him looking away? 

Because the same Venezuelan regime running Smartmatic also unleashed Tren de Aragua (TDA) a violent transnational criminal organization across the Western Hemisphere during the Biden Regime of Open Borders

The generals admitted it. 

TDA isn’t a “gang.”

It’s a militarized intelligence proxy.

While Tina was being targeted, imprisoned, and gagged…

The New Apostolic Reformation & Charlie Kirk

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

Part I: What is NAR?

The New Apostolic Reformation, aka NAR, is a movement in evangelical churches started by C. Peter Wagner in the late 90s.

NAR is not a denomination and it does not have any set or elected leaders or *official* ideology that defines it.

Rather NAR is a hodgepodge of beliefs, rituals and practices pulled from various traditions within mainstream charismatic and Pentecostal churches. 

The core belief posited by Wagner was the Christians must engage in spiritual warfare to bring about Christian dominion over all aspects of society.

When this is accomplished, the road will be paved for Christ to return. 

NAR is led by apostles believed to have been appointed by God. These apostles are delegated spiritual authority that grants them authority over the entire Church- which is one of the most controversial aspects of NAR. 

NAR churches do not advertise that they are NAR. And just because a church adopts one or two NAR ideas, doesn’t mean they adopt them all.

Decentralization has been key to NAR’s rapid growth. 

NAR rejects many traditional church teachings around the role of women in the church. Women can become apostles and pastors in NAR churches. The most famous one being Trump’s spiritual advisor, Paula White-Cain. 

The 7 Mountain Mandate has become the most important idea with the NAR movement and the one to gain the most traction.

The 7MM dictates that Christians must engage in spiritual warfare to dominate the 7 most important aspects of society:

This idea was conceived in the 1970s but revived and refined in the 2013 book “Invading Babylon: The 7 Mountain Mandate” by Lance Wallnou a televangelist and Bill Johnson, senior pastor of Bethel Church, a megachurch in Northern California. 

As far as Charlie goes, these are the NAR names you need to know, in addition to those already listed above:

Rob McCoy: pastor of Godspeak Calvary Chapel in Thousand Oaks California

Sean Feucht: former worship leader at Bethel church and 2020 Congressional candidate

Jack Hibbs: senior pastor of megachurch Calvary Chapel Chino Hills

David Lane: longtime Republican consultant and activist, member of Rob McCoy’s Godspeak Calvary Chapel 

For the purposes of my threads, I think that’s enough intro. If you want to go down the NAP rabbit hole, and trust me, it’s DEEP, here are a few intro links with lots of additional links of their own:

link 3

Part II: The prophet, the Donald & the cabana boy

__________

This is a very important thread on Evangelical Christianity and what a major faction within it is doing and why.

Trump allied with NAR because politics.

In some respects, a force like this one can have good effects and good results, because politics and social cohesion.

How much they have been infiltrated and/or influenced by Zionism, I do not know but doubt it is a minor factor.

Bottom line for me, I would prefer a strong Christian society to a totalitarian leftist one.

I am wary of religious forces like this, but all civilizations have lowest-common-denominator metacognitive beliefs and values which govern them.

A dominant, even domineering, Christianity would probably remain open to moral suasion and not harm non-believers who did not harm them.

Welcome to the human race.

Don’t make perfect be the enemy of good-enough realism.

Maybe AI will fix this. :) ABN

Japan Builds Up ‘Missile Archipelago’ Near Taiwan to Counter China

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

As military tensions between China and Japan reach the highest level in more than a decade, the sparsely populated island of Yonaguni finds itself right on the front lines.

Sitting just 110 kilometers (68 miles) east of Taiwan, Yonaguni marks the tail end of an archipelago stretching north to Japan’s main islands, a distance roughly equivalent to the length of the California coastline. Ever since former US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s trip to Taipei in 2022 prompted China to fire missiles that landed near Yonaguni, Japan has accelerated plans for its largest military buildup in at least four decades.

Up and down the 160-strong Ryukyu island chain, Japan is quickly putting in place missile batteries, radar towers, ammunition storage sites and other combat facilities. It’s also beginning to deploy major military assets on Kyushu, the southernmost of Japan’s four main islands, including F-35 fighter jets and long-range missiles, as well as expanding its version of the US Marine Corps, known as the Amphibious Rapid Deployment Brigade.

Chinese rent wombs in scheme to create U.S. citizens

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

Chinese nationals are using the largely unregulated U.S. surrogacy industry, specifically in California, to literally rent the wombs of American women to have babies who are instant U.S. citizens and then take them back to China, a report said.

Clients pay around $200,000 to do the surrogacy process in the U.S., and roughly $70,000 goes to the surrogate, according to the March 21 report by NewsNation.

The Trump Administration is cracking down on the scheme which has been going on for decades.

Parham Zar, owner of the Egg Donor and Surrogacy Institute in Beverly Hills, told NewsNation that at one point 90 percent of their clients were Chinese.

“Many websites offer language options in English and Mandarin or even in Mandarin only; employ doctors, administrators, and case workers who hail from China; and in some instances show two office locations: one in California and one in mainland China,” the report states.

Trump’s 2025 National Security Strategy – Europe Is Destroying Itself

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

President Trump’s 2025 National Security Strategy is outlined in a detailed 33-page report.

In addition to setting the priorities for the United States focus, the report details the Trump administration perspective on the world as broken down into specific regions.  The report is a brutally honest review of the current state of geopolitical benefits, risks and threats as they pertain to vital U.S. interests.

[Full pdf Here]

In addition to outlining a critically renewed focus on the Western Hemisphere, the Trump administration also notes the practical position of Europe, as it pertains to NATO and dependency on the U.S.A.

In a brutally honest review of the situation, the Trump administration notes Europe is increasingly losing their own identity.  The fear the Europeans express about being vulnerable to Russian strength is hypocritical, in the sense that in practical outcomes the EU is purposefully weakening itself and simultaneously demanding assistance against their own weakness.

[PAGE 25] – American officials have become used to thinking about European problems in terms of insufficient military spending and economic stagnation. There is truth to this, but Europe’s real problems are even deeper.

Continental Europe has been losing share of global GDP—down from 25 percent in 1990 to 14 percent today—partly owing to national and transnational regulations that undermine creativity and industriousness. But this economic decline is eclipsed by the real and more stark prospect of civilizational erasure.

The larger issues facing Europe include activities of the European Union and other transnational bodies that undermine political liberty and sovereignty, migration policies that are transforming the continent and creating strife, censorship of free speech and suppression of political opposition, cratering birthrates, and loss of national identities and self-confidence.

Should present trends continue, the continent will be unrecognizable in 20 years or less. As such, it is far from obvious whether certain European countries will have economies and militaries strong enough to remain reliable allies. Many of these nations are currently doubling down on their present path. We want Europe to remain European, to regain its civilizational self-confidence, and to abandon its failed focus on regulatory suffocation.

This lack of self-confidence is most evident in Europe’s relationship with Russia.

European allies enjoy a significant hard power advantage over Russia by almost every measure, save nuclear weapons. As a result of Russia’s war in Ukraine, European relations with Russia are now deeply attenuated, and many Europeans regard Russia as an existential threat.

Managing European relations with Russia will require significant U.S. diplomatic engagement, both to reestablish conditions of strategic stability across the Eurasian landmass, and to mitigate the risk of conflict between Russia and European states.

It is a core interest of the United States to negotiate an expeditious cessation of hostilities in Ukraine, in order to stabilize European economies, prevent unintended escalation or expansion of the war, and reestablish strategic stability with Russia, as well as to enable the post-hostilities reconstruction of Ukraine to enable its survival as a viable state.

The Ukraine War has had the perverse effect of increasing Europe’s, especially Germany’s, external dependencies. Today, German chemical companies are building some of the world’s largest processing plants in China, using Russian gas that they cannot obtain at home.

The Trump Administration finds itself at odds with European officials who hold unrealistic expectations for the war perched in unstable minority governments, many of which trample on basic principles of democracy to suppress opposition. A large European majority wants peace, yet that desire is not translated into policy, in large measure because of those governments’ subversion of democratic processes. This is strategically important to the United States precisely because European states cannot reform themselves if they are trapped in political crisis.

The White House just published what Brussels has spent a decade censoring: Europe has shrunk from 25% of global GDP to 14%, is drifting toward “civilizational erasure,” and on its current course “will be unrecognizable in 20 years”

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

The White House just published what Brussels has spent a decade censoring: Europe has shrunk from 25% of global GDP to 14%, is drifting toward “civilizational erasure,” and on its current course “will be unrecognizable in 20 years.” Not Russian intelligence. Not dissident analysts. Washington, in its own national strategy, marking the time of death.

Europe’s tragedy isn’t that it was defeated by an external force. Its tragedy is that it volunteered for collapse, mistaking moral vanity for strategy, self-harm for principle, and neocon applause for sovereignty. 19 rounds of sanctions meant to cripple Russia instead detonated inside Europe’s own chest cavity; industries fleeing, energy gutted, borders unmoored, farmers revolting, wages eroding, dissent criminalized under “values” crafted by technocrats who have never worked a real job, with utter contempt for Europeans.

And while Europe recited slogans, Russia built substance, built an economic juggernaut. The “gas station with nukes” they mocked is now the 4th largest economy on Earth by PPP, expanding faster than the entire European Union since the SMO began, reindustrializing, reorienting, rewiring Eurasia. The target of Europe’s crusade grew stronger, the crusaders grew poorer. This wasn’t irony. This was inevitability.

Now comes the most brutal line in the US strategy: the warning that some European states soon “may not be strong enough to remain reliable allies.” This is Washington stepping back from a burning house with the calm of an arsonist writing the incident report. The very patron that pushed Europe toward confrontation, long before Trump, is now drafting its alibi, framing Europe’s collapse as an unfortunate accident rather than the predictable consequence of policies its Deepstate encouraged and Brussels enforced with missionary zeal.

The EU won’t recognize the downloading of humiliation, because it arrived disguised as loyalty, and because the script being used to abandon the continent is the same script Europe still insists on performing.

A continent that once birthed Western civilization now prosecutes its citizens for speech, crushes its own farmers under riot shields, torches its industry for green dogma, and markets the whole spectacle as enlightenment. It surrendered its energy to ideology, its industry to Davos hallucinations, its security to America’s whims, and its future to compound interest. A civilization cannot live on abstractions, but its elites can, because they have engineered a system where the costs fall on the people and the graft float upward to those who never bear the consequences.

The NSS isn’t a strategy. It’s a confession in plain sight; Russia absorbed the blow, recalibrated, and rose; Europe dissolved into the very illusions it mistook for strength, while Washington, already preparing the next chapter, quietly wipes its hands of the consequences.

The deep, largely unrecognized, source of Europe and the West’s precipitous decline is we have been infiltrated by hostile, violent gangs which have taken over all Western high-ground.

All of our institutions have been infiltrated and turned against us.

All of them.

Consider what backward Somali gangs were able to do in just a few decades.

Had they not been caught, consider the wealth and power they would have amassed and held.

That was their motive.

Then consider gangs in the past who have quietly infiltrated the West and taken over.

Consider the payoff for their bold plan:

Immense power and wealth, control of all major Western institutions, the power to mind-control and lead Western peoples to their deaths.

That was and still is their motive.

But they are smarter than the Somalis.

Not only have they not been caught, they convinced us to pay for our own execution.

Many do not fully understand this because they are so soft and weak they refuse to contemplate the clandestine violence that has been waged for many generations against talented Western young people.

Why young people?

Because the smartest ones can be identified early and lobotomized, poisoned or maimed before they become adults.

This allows those young victims to live and cause despair and resignation in their communities, but renders them incapable of fighting back or understanding what has happened to them.

It is close to impossible to catch the poisoners and lobotomizers in the act. After one roofie, a lobotomy takes but a few minutes to perform.

And a goon can be trained to do it.

The deed can be done tens of thousands of times per year throughout the West, and very few will notice the pattern.

Put on your ruthless warrior hat and realize the deep reason the West is falling so fast.

It’s not just due to ideas, pathological altruism, the nepotism of our enemies.

It is majorly due to their violence. ABN

Chabad leader, Messiah Menachem Mendel Schneerson (1902-1994): Slavs, and among them Russians – are the most unbending people in the world

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

Chabad leader, Messiah Menachem Mendel Schneerson (1902-1994): “Slavs, and among them Russians – are the most unbending people in the world.

“Slavs are unbending as a result of their psychological and intellectual abilities, created by many generations of ancestors.

“It is impossible to alter these genes. Slav, Russian, can be destroyed, but never conquered. That is why this seed is subject to liquidation, and, at first, a sharp reduction in their numbers.”

“First of all, we will divide the Slavic nations (of 300 million, half of them Russians) into the small countries with weak and severed connections. For this, we will use our old method: Divide and conquer. We will try to pit these countries against each other, and suck them into civil wars for the sake of mutual destruction.”

“The Ukrainians would think that they are fighting against the expansionist Russia and struggling for their independence. They will think that they have finally gained their freedom, while they become fully subdued by us. The same will be thought by Russians, as though they defend their national interests to return their lands, “illegally” taken away from them, and so on.”

Grok says this quote: ‘…echoes fabricated texts such as the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, raising doubts about its authenticity’.

But Grok itself is biased on this topic.

I am posting this because I have seen it before and it rings true, as do the Protocols.

For the record, Musk has done a very good job with X, but it’s not perfect.

Last I saw, the X algorithm ‘balances’ what it is programmed to identify as ‘antisemitic’ with an equal number claims that are ‘prosemitic’.

Ukraine has been and is still controlled by Jewish Supremists, a number of whom have skipped away to Israel now that the war is ending.

Zelensky is Jewish and implicated in major Ukraine War corruption.

Many believe, me included, that if Israel falls, Israelis will decamp to Ukraine and claim it is their ‘homeland’. ABN

Rubio, Witkoff and Kushner Meet Ukraine Officials in Florida for Discussion of Terms Before Witkoff Returns to Moscow Tuesday

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

On Sunday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Trump emissaries Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met with the Ukraine negotiating team in Florida to further discuss acceptable terms for a broader ceasefire and end to the war.

Still trying to recover from corruption charges against his senior presidential team, Volodymyr Zelenskyy was not at the talks. Instead, the Ukraine delegation was led by State Security Council Secretary Rustem Umerov, while Zelenskyy went to Paris for an emotional support session with Emmanuel Macron.

Secretary Rubio and Secretary Umerov spoke before and after their 5-hour negotiation session.  Secretary Rubio emphasized the main topic as securing the long-term future of Ukraine both from a security position and from an economic prosperity position.

This state security aspect comes as the Ukraine delegation is facing pressure to accept, they will lose most -if not all- of the Donbas region to Russia. “The end goal is obviously not just the end of the war. Obviously, that’s central and fundamental,” Rubio said. “It’s also about securing an end to the war that leaves Ukraine sovereign and independent and with an opportunity at real prosperity.”

In better-than-expected news, the EU is now saying they will not comply with any removal of sanctions against Russia.  If the U.S-Russia and Ukraine work out a negotiated settlement that permits legal or economic relief for Vladimir Putin, the European Union will not agree and will instead make up their own decision on the issues.

Europe is holding this position as a threat, because President Trump is not fully consulting with them on all the granular details.  However, this is the type of threat that is exactly beneficial to what appears to be the long-term strategy of Trump.

If Europe refuses to remove sanctions or legal threats against Russia, but the U.S. negotiates the removal of U.S treasury and financial sanctions against Russia, then the Europeans have chosen to stay behind the locked door of economic benefit. More than two-thirds of the world does not participate in the sanctions at all.

If Europe and Canada continue blacklisting Russia, the U.S-Russia energy development program gains exclusive benefits to Trump, Putin and other allies like Mohammed bin Salmon (Saudi Arabia), ASEAN nations and even Japan.

In very practical terms, someone like Viktor Orban (Hungary) would like nothing more than to violate ongoing Brussels sanctions against Russia, and as a consequence create a fracture point for European Union exit.

In practical terms, what would this look like?  Well, the entire world would have lower energy prices, lower oil and natural gas prices, and lower gasoline prices by big margins.  Meanwhile, Europe would have a massive disparity in their much higher energy costs – likely double the rest of the world.   Think about the ramifications.  Hungary, Georgia, Montenegro, and Serbia with 50% lower prices on gasoline and electricity than the EU.  lolol  It would be funny.

Unfortunately, with this in mind I find the EU threats hollow.  As soon as the U.S-Russia-Ukraine work out a peace and security agreement, Europe will comply with whatever terms are negotiated for Russia.  Failure to do so only isolates the Europeans and will create a problem amid their collective mindsets.

Trump declares airspace above Venezuela is to be closed entirely as he ramps up lethal strikes

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

President Donald Trump has declared the airspace over Venezuela ‘to be closed in its entirety’ as the US continues to threaten military action against the country. 

In a Saturday morning post to his Truth Social, he asked all ‘airlines, pilots, drug dealers, and human traffickers’, to steer clear of the area. 

Warships, aircraft and military personnel have moved into position near the Caribbean country in the last few months, raising fears that Trump is preparing for military action. 

The Trump administration has accused Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro of leading and protecting a criminal network known as the Cartel de los Soles. 

Troops have been amassing in Puerto Rico, some 500 miles from the South American county, with Gen. Dan Caine, Trump’s military adviser, visiting the area on Monday.

The fall of Andriy Yermak –  Zelensky’s fixer, enforcer, gatekeeper, and indispensable ally, isn’t a ‘corruption scandal’. It’s Washington slapping the table

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

The fall of Andriy Yermak –  Zelensky’s fixer, enforcer, gatekeeper, and indispensable ally, isn’t a “corruption scandal.” It’s Washington slapping the table. NABU, the U.S.-trained attack dog of Ukrainian politics, didn’t raid the Presidential Office by accident. It raided to remind Zelensky that the war isn’t his to command, the peace process isn’t his to veto, and the leash around Bankova Street is held in Washington, not Kiev and certainly not European chihuahuas.

Because the real story isn’t Yermak’s resignation. The real story is the West turning on itself over how to end a war Russia has already won.

The fall of Andriy Yermak, Zelensky’s most loyal ally and the de facto power manager of Ukraine, is not a scandal. It is a strike from above. NABU, the U.S.-funded, U.S.-trained anti-corruption bureau, didn’t raid the home and office of Ukraine’s most powerful unelected official by coincidence. And in any other country, his resignation after a corruption raid would be a political scandal. In Ukraine, it’s a geopolitical detonation.

Yermak wasn’t just a chief of staff, he was the shadow architect of the regime, the man through whom every appointment, every oligarchic negotiation, every Western request, and every wartime decision had to pass. And the speed of his resignation makes clear this was less about corruption,  and more about pressure — engineered, timed, and executed by the one actor that can pull such a lever, Washington.

For months, the U.S. has been split between the neocons clinging to fantasies of a battlefield reversal, and the rising bloc of realists (JD Vance et. al) who have finally accepted what the frontlines have shown for over a year, Russia has already won. Ukraine’s army is shattered, NATO’s ammunition reserves are exhausted, and American voters are done with a war that offers no victory and no strategy. The realists now want a controlled, face-saving diplomatic exit, that locks in territorial losses quietly while Washington claims it “secured peace.” Zelensky has resisted every inch of this pivot because peace ends his power. And Yermak was the immovable pillar of that resistance, insulating Zelensky from any pressure to negotiate, the filter preventing unwanted messages from reaching the president. By purging him through a NABU raid, the U.S. has isolated Zelensky.

Meanwhile, the EU is panicking. European leaders fear peace more than war because peace forces accountability… why did they destroy their own industries, torch their energy security, plunge their economies into recession, and funnel hundreds of billions into corruption for a war Washington itself is now preparing to fold? Brussels supported Zelensky unconditionally not out of conviction but out of sheer self-preservation. If the war ends, they must answer for the ruin they inflicted on their own populations. Europe needs perpetual conflict to postpone the political reckoning. Washington, by contrast, wants a face saving offramp. This is the real EU–US divide: Brussels wants to delay the inevitable, Washington wants to manage it, and Kiev wants to deny it. Only one of them has the power to dictate the timeline, and it isn’t Europe.

Moscow sees the Western fracture, senses the desperation, and understands its advantage. Putin’s message has been cold and consistent: either negotiations occur on terms that reflect the battlefield reality and addreses the root cause of the conflict, or Russia will continue grinding down NATO’s proxy forces until nothing remains to negotiate with. For Russia, both paths lead to victory. Russia has no reason to rush, it is the West running out of time, weapons, unity, and credibility.

And when European publics finally realize their leaders sacrificed prosperity, stability, industry, and geopolitical autonomy for a war that ended exactly where Moscow predicted it would, the political reckoning will be seismic. Yermak’s fall is not the end of an era, it marks the beginning of the collapse for the EU.

Trump’s ‘real’ plan for ending war in Ukraine ‘revealed’: $300 BILLION boost to America and joint space missions with Russia to Mars

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

A report in The Wall Street Journal details how Trump’s team – including his son-in-law Jared Kushner and special envoy Steve Witkoff – have been negotiating with Russia on how to ‘bring their $2 trillion economy in from the cold’.

Witkoff reportedly hosted Kirill Dmitriev – Putin’s ‘handpicked’ negotiator – and Kushner at a waterfront Miami Beach estate to draw up a plan to end the war, while also ensuring American businesses beat their European counterparts to making money once the conflict ended.

Dmitriev is said to have pushed for the $300 billion of Russian central bank assets frozen in Europe to be used for joint US-Russian investment projects, and a ‘US-led reconstruction’ of Ukraine.

There were also reportedly talks of pursuing a joint mission between Elon Musk‘s SpaceX and Russia to reach Mars, a far cry from the ‘space race’ of the 20th century.

Russia’s strategy, according to the report, is to convince the Trump administration that they are a ‘land of opportunity’ – and not a threat.

The Kremlin reportedly hopes to ‘reshape the economic map of Europe’, while also creating friction between the US and its allies on the continent and beyond, potentially giving Putin the last laugh in negotiations.
