I am a Cold War submariner - the last generation. During my youth, we chased the Russians all over the seas! I highly respected their intelligence and cunning. We had better ships - but they were cagey - and knew how to take advantage of the ocean environment, often escaping us.

Many of us, myself included, never wanted NATO to expand. We wanted to be friends with Russia but the NEOCONs and the Military industrial complex ruled our nation.

The United States is now back in the hands of the people. The battle rages on, and we must fight to keep what we've won, but we will continue to fight the forces of the NEOCON deep state and maintain our republic.

Many well wishes to you, my friend.

People tend to see international negotiations like a soap opera, but its not. Zelenskyy would have had a team brief beforehand to decide strategy, after all he is an actor by trade. Who was there briefing him? Zelenski is not liked. Unreported by the Times, 5 days ago the Ukraine Parliament (by vote) refused to endorse his ongoing presidency. Was he ill advised to go pick a fight with Trump? And on Trumps side, it was clearly a set-up. Why? this was not a quick outburst, Trump and Vance were working together. What is the deal Trump has got with Putin? It must be worth more to Trump than the rare earths? Follow the money, not the screenplay
