EPISODE 023: "AMERICA FIRST, ABOVE ALL"

HOW TRUMP'S 2025 NATIONAL SECURITY STRATEGY REWRITES THE GLOBAL GAME

In November 2025, the White House released a new National Security Strategy—a document that doesn't just reflect the philosophy of Donald Trump's second administration but rewrites the very architecture of international relations. Unlike endless declarations of "global responsibility" and "democracy promotion," this text reads like a manifesto of sovereignty, realism, and strength.

And it's already in motion.

FROM "GLOBAL POLICEMAN" TO "ARCHITECT OF ORDER"

For three decades after the Cold War, the U.S. acted as a nation endowed with the moral right to shape reality everywhere—from the Balkans to the South China Sea. The new strategy calls this approach a "wish list of elites"—bloated, self-destructive, and detached from national interests.

Trump offers the opposite:

"Focusing on everything means focusing on nothing."

Instead of endless "forever wars," there are eight resolved conflicts in eight months: from Gaza to the DRC, from Kosovo to the Indo-Pakistani border.

Instead of empty rhetorical commitments, there are tariffs, energy sovereignty, a trillion dollars for the military, and demands for allies to pay their share: NATO is now required to spend not 2%, but 5% of GDP on defense.

This isn't isolationism. It's strategic discipline.

THE FOUR PILLARS OF THE NEW STRATEGY

1. SOVEREIGNTY AS THE HIGHEST VALUE

Borders are controlled. Immigration is based on national interest. Transnational institutions are not above the Constitution. Even the UN and WTO must be reformed or bypassed if they hinder American interests.

2. PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH, NOT CONCESSIONS

"Strength is the best deterrent," the document states. Operation Midnight Hammer to destroy Iran's nuclear infrastructure is not an act of aggression but a tool to prevent war. The same goes for the Golden Dome missile defense system and the modernization of the nuclear triad.

3. INDUSTRIAL INDEPENDENCE AS NATIONAL SECURITY

Globalism is declared a destructive mistake. Reshoring supply chains, reindustrialization, and an energy boom are all part of economic patriotism, without which military power is impossible.

4. CULTURAL REVIVAL AS THE FOUNDATION OF POWER

The removal of "DEI," "woke culture," and "gender madness" from the military and government is not a culture war but a restoration of institutional combat readiness. Without a healthy nation, there is no great power.

GEOPOLITICS WITHOUT SENTIMENTALITY

The strategy clearly defines regional priorities:

• Western Hemisphere — A zone of exclusive U.S. interests. The "Trump Corollary" to the Monroe Doctrine means zero tolerance for foreign influence, especially from China and Russia.
• Indo-Pacific — Not a space for "containment," but for openness and free navigation, provided supply chains do not depend on hostile regimes.
• Europe — An ally, but a weak one. The U.S. is willing to defend it, but only if it returns to "civilizational confidence" and abandons "energy suicide."
• Middle East — No more "forever wars," but no room for Iranian or Chinese dominance. Oil must serve stability, not chaos.
• Africa — A continent where the U.S. will compete for influence through technological and economic superiority, not humanitarian missions.

This is not diplomacy. It is systemic pacification—using the opponent's momentum against them.

THE TRUMP PARADOX: PRESIDENT OF PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH

The most striking aspect of the document is Trump's declaration as the "President of Peace." And this is not rhetoric. Unlike administrations that fueled conflicts under the banner of "democracy," Trump uses levers of power for diplomacy:

• Threats as a means of coercion into negotiations;
• Economic sanctions as a tool of demarcation;
• Military power as a guarantee that the opponent will want to negotiate rather than fight.

This is geopolitical judo: using the opponent's momentum against them.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR THE WORLD

Trump's world is not a world of "everything is fine." It is a world of hierarchies, sovereignties, and balances. There is no place for "global government," but there is room for strong nations that negotiate based on mutual respect.

• For Ukraine — You are not the center; you are an object of settlement.
• For Europe — You must pay and think for yourselves.
• For China and Russia — You will not achieve hegemony, but you will not be destroyed if you do not cross red lines.
• For the U.S. — A rebirth as a civilizational core where security, economy, culture, and strength go hand in hand.

CONCLUSION: THE END OF THE ILLUSIONS ERA

The 2025 National Security Strategy is the antithesis of the "world order" of Biden and Obama. It rejects messianism in favor of realism, sacrifice in favor of sovereignty, and globalism in favor of the nation.

"Over the past nine months, we have brought our nation—and the entire world—back from the brink of catastrophe."

If this strategy is implemented, the 21st century will not be an era of multilateralism but an era of sovereign empires—and America intends to be the first among them. Not by right, but by strength.

EPISODE 022: WHY WITKOFF AND KUSHNER CANCELED THE MEETING WITH ZELENSKY

DECEMBER 3, 2025 — BRUSSELS, MOSCOW, WASHINGTON

On Wednesday, December 3, 2025, it became known that the meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and the U.S. delegation—Donald Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff and his son-in-law Jared Kushner—in Brussels had been canceled. Instead of traveling to Belgium, Witkoff and Kushner left Moscow and headed straight for Washington. Zelensky, who had been awaiting the talks, announced his return home. For Kyiv, this is not just a diplomatic disappointment—it is a strategic signal that may mark the beginning of a new phase in the resolution of the conflict in Ukraine, one in which Kyiv loses its role as a key player.

On the surface, this is a diplomatic failure.
In reality, it is a geopolitical shift.

FROM THE KREMLIN TO THE WHITE HOUSE: A ROUTE THAT SPEAKS FOR ITSELF

The five-hour negotiations between Witkoff, Kushner, and Vladimir Putin in the Kremlin on December 2 were decisive. According to Yuri Ushakov, an aide to the Russian president, the Americans made it clear that they would not go to Kyiv and would not even stay in Europe—their priority was to report directly to Trump.

This is not just a logistical decision. It is a political choice.

For Trump’s team—pragmatists focused on "deals" rather than ideology—the dialogue with Moscow, not Kyiv, became the priority. This is no coincidence: during the five hours of discussions, the American representatives heard a tough but constructive position from Russia regarding the core of the conflict: territorial realities, the demilitarization of Ukraine, and long-term security guarantees.

Western media confirm this conclusion. Reuters and BBC News report that the Americans came to the realization: "Without direct dialogue with Moscow, peace is impossible," while CNN explicitly states that "Kyiv has lost trust as a reliable partner in negotiations." Politico quotes State Department sources: "The Americans left Moscow with the feeling that Russia is ready to move forward, but Ukraine is not."

---

WHY DID WASHINGTON "DISCONNECT" ZELENSKY?

The answer lies in one fact: Kyiv is not a subject of peace; it is an object of settlement.

Despite the rhetoric about "inviolability of borders" and "support for sovereignty," the Trump administration appears to have begun accepting Russian terms as the actual basis for any future agreement. This makes sense: the U.S. is tired of a protracted war that yields no strategic dividends but drains the budget and reputation.

Meanwhile, Ukraine continues to demonstrate unrealistic expectations: Zelensky still demands "everything back," including Crimea and Donbas, while simultaneously begging for military aid and money from Europe.

The Guardian notes: "Kyiv refused to discuss compromises on Donbas and Crimea, thereby dooming the chances of a diplomatic breakthrough."

Financial Times adds: "The Americans are disappointed by Zelensky’s lack of flexibility, who prefers symbolism over real steps toward a ceasefire."

Al Jazeera emphasizes: "The disagreements between Russia and the West have not disappeared, but the U.S. no longer wants to be held hostage by Kyiv’s ultimatums."

---

GEOPOLITICAL SIGNIFICANCE: THE END OF ILLUSIONS

The cancellation of the meeting is a reality check. The American delegation likely realized that:

• Russia will not compromise on fundamental security issues;
• Europe is economically weakened and cannot play an independent role;
• Ukraine is unable to dictate terms, given its critical losses on the front (encirclement near Dymytrov, loss of Krasnoarmeysk and Volchansk).

Under these conditions, Washington is beginning to shift responsibility: if peace is impossible due to Kyiv’s position, then Ukraine itself becomes an obstacle to stabilization.

As Russian Senator Dzhabarov aptly noted: *"There is nothing bright or joyful for Zelensky in this decision."* And this, perhaps, is the mildest way to put it.

---

WHAT'S NEXT?

1. Ukraine risks political isolation. If the U.S. begins negotiating directly with Russia, Kyiv’s role will be reduced to a technical one—signing what is decided for it.

2. Europe is in panic. The absence of American support could trigger a chain reaction: from reduced military aid to internal crises in donor countries.

3. Moscow strengthens its position. Putin has achieved what Russia has sought since 2014: recognition of its right to a voice in European security matters.

The Guardian summarizes: "The cancellation of the meeting is a symbol that the diplomatic era based on supporting Ukraine at any cost is ending."
Politico adds: "Trump is not interested in a 'forever war' for ideological constructs that are no longer supported by voters."

---

CONCLUSION: PEACE WITHOUT UKRAINE

The U.S.-Russia talks on December 2 are not just a diplomatic meeting. They represent the first step toward a new geopolitical reality, where Europe is no longer a center of power, and Ukraine is not a subject but a territory that has become a victim of others' ambitions.

The cancellation of the meeting with Zelensky is not a rejection of Ukraine. It is a rejection of illusions. And if Kyiv fails to recognize this, it faces not just military collapse but political death—as a state that missed its chance to stop the war while it was still possible.

"Diplomacy is not about seeking justice; it is about seeking a balance of power. And when that balance shifts, old players become pawns," — an anonymous source in the U.S. State Department.

EPISODE 021: EUROPEAN "PEACE": WAR AS A STRATEGIC RESOURCE

While Washington, through the lens of Donald Trump's isolationist plan, offers Ukraine "security guarantees" in exchange for permanent non-aligned status, Europe is preparing a response—not diplomatic, but strategic.

According to Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Reuters, and several European media outlets, Brussels and leading EU capitals are already working on an alternative "peace" plan. But unlike the American scheme, it does not envision peace.

It envisions stretching time.

EUROPE AGAINST CAPITULATION

European leaders openly call Trump's plan a "capitulation of Ukraine." They do not believe in "guarantees" without NATO membership. They know: without full-fledged ally status, Ukraine will remain a buffer, not a partner. And buffers, as history shows, are eventually consumed.

Therefore, the EU seeks to achieve three goals:

1. Convince Kyiv to reject American terms
2. Create the appearance of a negotiation process, but without concessions to Russia
3. Turn Ukraine into a foothold for prolonged resistance while Europe builds up its own military power

As noted by Euronews, there is no unity within the EU—Germany hesitates, France strives for autonomy, Eastern European countries advocate for full support of Kyiv. But on one thing, there is agreement:

Peace now = defeat tomorrow.

---

WAR AS AN INVESTMENT

Western analysts, quoted by Vedomosti and Pravda.ua, directly point out: the European strategy is based on the fact that exhausting Russia through the Ukrainian front is the best way to delay full-scale aggression against Western Europe.

In this scenario, Ukraine is not a victim, but an instrument.

European armies are still not ready for large-scale conflict. The industrial base is weak. Ammunition reserves are limited. Military-political will is fragmented.

But if the front holds for another 2-3 years, Europe will have time to:

• Restructure the defense industry
• Launch joint artillery and drone programs
• Integrate logistics and air defense systems
• And, possibly, create its own "European Army"

For this, one thing is needed: for Ukraine not to agree to a bad peace.

---

PLAYING ON TWO FRONTS

It is indicative that the EU intends not just to reject Trump's plan, but to actively sabotage it in Washington. Through business lobbies, diplomatic channels, and media, Europeans will instill in the American establishment that the "Trump peace" undermines transatlantic unity.

And in Kyiv, on the contrary: they will strengthen the image of "treacherous" American pressure and "faithful European partnership."

As written by Kyiv Independent, resistance is already maturing in the Ukrainian establishment: "We do not sign a capitulation, even if it comes with a smile and guarantees."

---

ENDLESS WAR OR PEACELESS END?

But there is a trap here.

If Ukraine continues to fight "for Europe," and Europe does not give it either NATO or full membership, then what is it?

Not resistance.

A deferred sacrifice.

The EU plan benefits Europe—but not Ukraine.

It gives Brussels time—but deprives Kyiv of a future.

It preserves the front—but destroys the country.

It delays peace—but does not guarantee victory.

And then the question arises:

Who is really capitulating?

Are the Americans—by offering a deal?

Or the Europeans—by turning war into a perpetual resource for their own security, while someone else's sons die for the "European order"?

---

CONCLUSION: CHOOSING BETWEEN ILLUSIONS

Today, Ukraine is not choosing between peace and war.

It is choosing between two types of dependency:

• American — cold, pragmatic, but time-limited
• European — emotional, "solidary," but endless

Neither plan is about Ukraine's freedom.

Both are about the geopolitical gain of those who compose them.

The truth is bitter:

No Western "plan" puts Ukraine's sovereignty above its own security.

The only real choice is to stop being a pawn in someone else's game.

But for that, consent is not needed.

Will is.

— the choice is yours ⥣

EPISODE 020: THE SYSTEM AND YOU: HOW YOU WERE CONVINCED YOU CHOOSE FREELY

You wake up in the morning, check your phone, scroll through your feed, choose what to eat, what to wear, which news to get outraged by, which guru to trust. You feel free. But have you ever thought that all these "choices" are nothing more than branches of the same tree, planted not by you?

The system long ago stopped holding people by force. Today, it operates through consent. Through the illusion of freedom, so cozy that breaking out of it seems pointless. And everything is arranged with brilliant simplicity.

---

1. CHOICE WITHOUT CHOICE: THE MARKET AS THEATER

You stand in front of a shelf with milk. It's "organic," "lactose-free," "with omega-3," "for slenderness," "for immunity." You choose—and feel in control. But who controls this control? In 80% of cases—three global corporations. And it's not just about milk. It's about election candidates, "alternative" media, "independent" experts whose research is funded by the same foundations as government agencies.

There is a choice—but only within the corridor drawn for you. Step aside—and you're outside the system. And being outside the system today is scarier than being in prison. Because you simply stop being noticed.

---

2. RIGHTS WITHOUT OPPORTUNITIES: DEMOCRACY AS DECORATION

Yes, you have the right to a fair trial. But to use it, you need to know the laws, have money, connections, and time. And you have—credit, exhausting work, and anxiety from every phone notification.

You are formally free—but in reality, you are so deep in the survival system that you have neither the strength nor the resources to exercise this freedom.

And the system knows this. That's why it declares rights—as a reminder that "everything is fair," and if you're not doing well, it's your fault.

---

3. ENTERTAINMENT INSTEAD OF AWARENESS: YOUR MIND IS THE MAIN MARKET

You're not consuming content. You are the product. Your attention is the currency. Every like, every view, every comment—these are data points that are monetized.

You think you're relaxing by watching reels. In reality, you're giving away your most valuable assets—time and focus—in exchange for a false sense of participation in someone else's life.

And while you watch how an "unknown blogger travels to Dubai," your real life passes by. And what's the point? You don't seek meaning—it's handed to you in the form of a $199 course from a "spiritual coach."

---

4. CONTROL THROUGH CARE: YOUR SAFETY IS THEIR DATA

You agreed to "convenient notifications," "personalized content," "smart" devices that listen to you even at night. All for your "safety" and "comfort."

Now imagine: in August 2025, the Pentagon already deployed a network of sensors, IR towers, and AR glasses for border guards along the entire southern border of the U.S. These technologies aren't just for the border—they're for you. For the city. For your neighborhood. For your apartment—tomorrow.

First, it's the "fight against migrants," then the "fight against disinformation," then the "fight against threats to national stability." And under "threats," they might mean you—if you start asking inconvenient questions.

---

5. DIVISION AS THE BASIS OF CONTROL

You are alone. You're "on your own." You're independent, free, unique. And your neighbor is "not your circle," "a different generation," "a different mentality."

The system has destroyed the sense of community. Replaced it with personalization. With "your style," "your goals," "your truth."

Where there is no commonality, there is no resistance. Where there is no solidarity, there is no strength. And loneliness becomes the norm.

And then you go to a new "guru," buy new "milk of truth"—and again fill the same pocket that has been draining your energy, time, and will for years.

---

BUT THERE IS A WAY OUT — IF YOU STOP CHOOSING FROM WHAT YOU'RE GIVEN

True freedom doesn't start with choosing between brands. It starts with rejecting the game by someone else's rules.

With the question: "Who determines what I need?"

With a pause between notifications.

With a look beyond the milk shelf.

Because real choice isn't what's offered to you.

Real choice is what you create yourself.

— the choice is yours ⥣

EPISODE 019: THE 11.11.2025 ENIGMA: WHEN CATASTROPHE BECOMES SYMBOL — OR HOW FATE WHISPERS THROUGH DATES

November 11, 2025.
A Turkish military C-130 Hercules crashes in the mountains of Georgia.
20 lives — extinguished.
No distress signal.
No alarm.
Just a silent fall into the abyss...

---

On the same day, in Washington, the new U.S. Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, meets with Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan and reminds him:
"Stop buying Russian gas. This is the path to peace in Ukraine."
But Turkey doesn't listen.
It continues to pump gas through the "TurkStream" and "Blue Stream".
It imports 300,000 barrels of oil per day.
And it is building a gas hub that could become a bypass route for all Russian energy exports to Europe.

---

11.11.2025 — JUST A DATE... OR A CODE?

Let's set aside the "official version" of bad weather or technical failure for a moment.
Let's look at the numbers.
November 11 is 11.11.
Two elevens in a row.
If you read it as 11/11, you get 1111.
In binary, this is 15, but in esotericism, it is a sign of awakening, opening of gates, reality shift.

Now, flip it:
11.11 → 119 or 911.
Hear the echo?
911 is not just the date of the 2001 attacks.
It is a global symbol of a system failure.
Loss of trust. Lies. Manipulation. The beginning of a new era of wars.

And here we are again — November 11, another military plane crash, again in Eurasia, at the border of three countries involved in a complex geopolitical game.

Turkey — a NATO ally... and simultaneously a key partner of Russia in energy.
Georgia — a "victim of occupation" in the eyes of the West, but still a battleground of interests.
Azerbaijan — a victor in Karabakh, a friend of Israel, a supplier of gas to Europe, and an ally of Turkey in every step.

Against this backdrop, a U.S. C-130J-30 suddenly appears over Tbilisi, accompanied by an unidentified drone and helicopter.
40 minutes in the air.
No explanations.
Coincidence?
Or observation of the aftermath?

---

TURKISH GAS — THE BLOOD OF THE NEW EMPIRE

While the dying soldiers fell from the sky, in the basements of Ankara and Moscow, negotiations were underway about the gas hub that would turn Turkey into a European gas broker.

As stated by a CSIS expert:
"The gas may physically come from Russia, but legally it will be bought at the Turkish hub. And then its origin will not matter to anyone."

This is not just trade.
This is a victory over sanctions.
This is a bypass of the Western blockade.
And this is the outcry of fury from Washington, which pours out in Rubio's words:
"Stop! This helps Russia wage war!"
But Turkey knows:
Gas is not just money, it is power.
And while the West demands "moral sacrifices," Turkey is building a new energy sovereignty.

---

CONCLUSION: TOO MANY COINCIDENCES

11.11.2025 — a date with esoteric resonance.
A C-130, a symbol of U.S. military power, crashes in Eurasia — in a place where the interests of Russia, Turkey, Azerbaijan, and Georgia intersect.
The U.S. immediately increases pressure on Turkey over energy.
An American plane appears in the sky over the crash site — why?
Official media hurry to bury the topic, but the facts don't add up.

All this is too smooth to be coincidental.
Or, perhaps, it is a warning?
From whom — it is unclear.
But the date speaks for itself.
2025 (2+2+5=9) 11.11.
91111.
911.
Choose the code — and you will understand who is really controlling the scenario.

P.S. Don't look for the truth in news reports. Look for it in numbers, in the pauses between the lines, in what is not said aloud. And especially — in what happens on the same day on different continents. Where the official story falls silent, the real one begins.
Watch the sky. And the dates.
They always say more than they seem.

EPISODE 018: RUSSIA PREPARES FOR NUCLEAR TESTS AS STRATEGIC BALANCE TEETERS

RUSSIA PREPARES FOR NUCLEAR TESTS — THE END OF THE SILENT DETERRENCE

On November 5, 2025, President Vladimir Putin issued a directive that sent tremors through global security circles: Russian defense and intelligence agencies are to prepare proposals for the possible resumption of nuclear weapons testing.

---

🔍 INTELLIGENCE CONFIRMS: THE U.S. IS PREPARING

According to Foreign Intelligence Service Director Sergei Naryshkin, the United States has “avoided any substantive response” to Russia’s diplomatic query. Chief of the General Staff Valery Gerasimov went further, stating unequivocally: “The U.S. is actively preparing to conduct nuclear tests.”

Defense Minister Andrey Belousov recommended immediate readiness for full-scale Russian nuclear testing. He also revealed a parallel escalation: the U.S. plans to deploy rapid-strike missiles in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. “From Germany to central Russia—6 to 7 minutes,” he warned. That timeframe renders early-warning systems virtually obsolete.

---

📜 THE TREATY IS NOT A STRAITJACKET

President Putin emphasized that Russia has no intention of unilaterally withdrawing from the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT). But he added a critical caveat: “If other signatories decide to conduct nuclear tests, Russia will be forced to take corresponding measures.”

This is not a threat. It is a doctrine of mirror deterrence—a return to Cold War logic where action begets reaction, and restraint lasts only as long as it is mutual.

---

⏳ WHY NOW? THE COLLAPSE OF STRATEGIC TRUST

The CTBT has been de facto frozen for decades, but never formally abandoned by nuclear powers. Now, that fragile norm is cracking. With the INF Treaty gone, New START in limbo, and hypersonic arms races accelerating, the taboo against nuclear testing is weakening.

Moscow’s move is both defensive and declarative: Russia will not be caught off guard. Preparations at the Novaya Zemlya test site could begin within months—infrastructure, diagnostics, safety protocols. Not for immediate detonation, but for readiness. And in nuclear strategy, readiness is the message.

---

🌍 THE GLOBAL STAKES

If the U.S. resumes testing—even underground—it will shatter the last pillar of the post-Cold War arms control regime. China, India, Pakistan, and others may follow. The world would enter a new era: not of MAD (Mutual Assured Destruction), but of MAD 2.0—Multipolar, Automated, and Decentralized.

As the Pentagon turns the Mexican border into a live lab for AI-driven surveillance and Trump flirts with nuclear brinkmanship, Moscow is sending a clear signal: Do not mistake restraint for weakness.

The era of silent deterrence is ending. The age of visible preparation has begun.

EPISODE 017: "KHABAROVSK" AND "POSEIDON": THE PACIFIC SHADOW WITH NO DEFENSE

Russia is not just building submarines—it is creating the architecture of an invulnerable strike. And NATO knows it.

---

🌊 The War of the Future Is Already in the Ocean

While Western media debates whether "Poseidon" is real, the Russian Navy quietly—without fanfare or loud announcements—is deploying a new strategic reality.

The Northern Fleet already has the Belgorod, the first carrier of the "Poseidon," retrofitted from the unfinished Antei. Soon, the Pacific Fleet will commission the "Khabarovsk"—the first submarine designed from scratch for this "superweapon".

This is not just an upgrade. It is a qualitative leap—in size, automation, stealth, and operational concept.

---

🎯 Why "Poseidon" Is Not "Acorn"

It’s crucial to understand: "Poseidon" is a weapon aimed at the United States.

Unlike the hypersonic missile "Acorn" (likely the Zircon or Dagger in a new guise), whose range limits its use to Europe and Asia, "Poseidon" is designed for a global strike against the continental United States.

Its mission is to bypass all missile defense systems, penetrate coastal waters, and deliver a nuclear strike via an underwater tsunami, destroying not only military infrastructure but also critical life-support nodes on the East and West Coasts.

This is not deterrence. This is a guaranteed second-strike capability, even if all land- and air-based nuclear forces are destroyed.

This is why Washington is so nervous. NATO has no means of detection or interception for such a weapon. "Poseidon" operates at depths of up to 1 km, almost silently, at speeds of up to 100 knots. Sonars can’t see it; torpedoes can’t reach it. It is the phantom of underwater warfare.

---

⚡ "Khabarovsk": Small but Deadly

What makes the Khabarovsk particularly dangerous?

• It is smaller than the Yasen-class—making it easier to hide and harder to detect.
• It is equipped with a new type of reactor, ensuring unprecedented stealth.
• It is highly automated.

This is not just a submarine with a crew. It is a platform for managing underwater drones. "Poseidon" is only the first of them. In the future, such submarines will be able to deploy entire swarms of autonomous vehicles: reconnaissance, sabotage, and strike drones. This is robot warfare, where humans remain only as high-level operators.

---

🌍 Two Fleets—Four Cruisers

According to published data, Russia plans to build at least four such underwater cruisers: two for the Northern Fleet and two for the Pacific Fleet.

This creates a symmetrical threat from both oceans—the Atlantic and the Pacific. The United States can no longer feel safe behind its oceans. The threat is now bilateral, deep-sea, and inevitable.

---

🎯 Conclusion: The Strategy of the Impossible Response

"Poseidon" and its carriers are not an attempt to "catch up and surpass." They represent a strategy of the impossible response.

The U.S. can expand its missile defense, build new radars, and launch satellites—but all of this is useless against an object that moves beneath all of this, at depth, in complete silence.

At a time when Trump has already announced the resumption of nuclear testing and the Pentagon is turning the Mexican border into a testing ground for military AI, the Khabarovsk and Belgorod remind the world of a simple truth:

True strength lies not in being seen, but in remaining invisible until the very last moment.

The world is changing faster than you can blink.

EPISODE 016: TRUMP AND THE NUCLEAR BLUFF – RESUMING TESTS AS A PRESSURE TOOL

Introduction: The Nuclear Trigger Before the Summit

On October 29, 2025, Donald Trump announced the United States' intention to resume nuclear testing for the first time since 1992. The statement was made on the eve of a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping and was accompanied by rhetoric typical of the former president: loud accusations, oversimplified logic, and a hint of inevitability. "I had no choice!" Trump declared, referring to alleged nuclear tests conducted by other countries.

However, reality is more complex. Neither Russia nor China has conducted full-scale nuclear explosive tests in recent decades. Mentioning Russia's "Burevestnik" and "Poseidon" is a demonstration of misunderstanding: these systems undergo flight and underwater tests but do not involve the detonation of a nuclear charge. Nevertheless, such rhetoric allows Trump to create the image of a "victim of global injustice," forced to defend national interests.

Historical Context: Why the U.S. Hasn't Tested Nuclear Weapons for 30 Years

The last U.S. nuclear test, "Divider," took place on September 23, 1992, at the Nevada Test Site. Since then, Washington has adhered to a moratorium, even though the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT) has never been ratified by the U.S. Senate. Formally, the U.S. can resume testing at any time—legally, they are not bound by obligations.

Nevertheless, over the past three decades, administrations of both parties have adhered to a consensus: nuclear testing is a step backward, a threat to stability, and a catalyst for a new arms race. Instead, the U.S. has developed the Stockpile Stewardship program, which allows maintaining the readiness of the arsenal without actual explosions—using supercomputers, laser facilities, and hydrodynamic experiments.

Trump, however, seems intent on breaking this consensus—not so much out of military necessity as political expediency.

Geopolitical Goal: Pressure on China

The key point is the timing of the announcement. It was made on the eve of the meeting with Xi Jinping, amid escalating strategic rivalry between the U.S. and China. Trump directly points to China: "In five years, they will catch up with us." This is a reference to the long-discussed scenario in U.S. military circles of "nuclear parity" with China, which remains more theoretical than real.

But the content is not as important as the effect. The announcement of resumed testing is a signal to Beijing: Washington is ready to escalate. It is also an attempt to provoke an internal discussion in China, where any steps toward nuclear expansion are carefully weighed. If Beijing responds—even diplomatically—it can be presented as "confirmation of the threat."

---

Consequences: Chain Reaction and Collapse of Agreements

If the U.S. actually conducts nuclear tests, it will become a turning point in global security:

• Russia will have a formal justification for withdrawing from all remaining treaties (including New START, if it is still in effect by 2025).
• China, despite its restraint, may accelerate its nuclear buildup program.
• India and Pakistan may resume testing, citing the "new reality."
• North Korea, which has repeatedly violated the moratorium, will gain ideological cover.

The most dangerous outcome is the destruction of the norm of the unacceptability of nuclear tests, which has been formed over decades. Even North Korea declared a moratorium after its sixth test in 2017 under international pressure. Resuming U.S. tests legitimizes such actions for everyone.

Technological Myth: Why Does the U.S. Need "New" Tests?

Trump claims that the U.S. has "fully modernized its arsenal" under his administration. This is true—but without tests. The modernization program includes replacing carriers, warheads, and infrastructure but does not require new explosions. Modern technologies allow maintaining the reliability of the arsenal with 99.7% accuracy.

Therefore, there is no military necessity for testing. There is a political necessity to demonstrate strength—especially in the pre-election or pre-summit period. This is not a strategy but a tactic of intimidation.

---

Conclusion: The "Peacemaker" as a Destabilizer

Trump calls himself the "greatest peacemaker," but his actions lead to destabilization. Resuming nuclear tests is not a step toward security but a pressure tool based on the threat of global chaos.

In a context where the U.S. is already using its southern border as a testing ground for military technologies, nuclear tests could become the next stage in the militarization of domestic and foreign policy.

The question remains: Is the world ready for a new era of nuclear uncertainty? Or is this another Trump bluff—a loud gesture without consequences? But even a bluff in the nuclear sphere is fraught with unpredictable effects. Especially when the chessboard is occupied not by diplomats but by poker players.

Episode 015: GERMANY’S INDUSTRIAL COLLAPSE: ENERGY, MIGRATION, AND THE RISE OF AFD

Factories fall silent. Power grids wheeze. On the streets — not protests, but despair dressed as routine.

Germany, once Europe’s economic locomotive, is now a patient in intensive care, hooked to two IV drips:
— the Green Agenda that forbids it to breathe coal,
— and the Ukrainian war account that drains its last capital.

---

📉 The Numbers Don’t Lie

• Auto production down 33% since 2017.
• Steel output fell 12% in one year alone.
• Electricity prices 3× higher than in the U.S.
• Factories relocating to America, Turkey, even India.

Who remains?
— Pensioners watching savings evaporate.
— Migrants overwhelming a welfare system past breaking point.
— Brussels bureaucrats demanding “more climate, more sanctions, more solidarity.”

---

🔥 This Isn’t a Crisis — It’s a Sacrifice

The EU has made its choice:

• Ukraine > Ruhr Valley
• Carbon neutrality > jobs
• Global image > national survival

Germany is no longer a nation.
It’s a donor of ideology.

⚡ The Rise of AfD: Not Extremism — Survival

While Berlin elites recite EU dogma, one party speaks the unspeakable:

• Mass deportations to restore social cohesion.
• Exit from Green directives to revive industry.
• Total foreign policy reset — away from war, toward peace.

AfD isn’t offering “solutions.”
They’re offering to stop the madness.

And the people are listening.

---

🎯 Conclusion

Brussels dreams of a “new Europe.”
Germany just wants to survive.

If the elites refuse to see reality,
the next election won’t bring applause —
only the slam of a door closing on everything that once made this nation great.

The world is changing faster than you can blink.

Episode 014: Zelensky Leaves Trump — Into the Arms of Globalists

After meeting with Donald Trump, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky returns to Europe — not with agreements, not with guarantees, but with resentment. And, as always, not just anywhere, but to London. Where he is met not with questions, but with hugs. Not with ultimatums, but with comforting checks. Not with "settle or face Tomahawks," but with "we're with you to the end."

This is no longer diplomacy. This is a ritual.

🎭 The Karpman Drama Triangle in Action

Psychologists have long described this drama: persecutor – victim – rescuer.

Trump is the "persecutor," behaving like a stepfather at the negotiations: humiliating, demanding, setting conditions.
Zelensky is the "victim," who "asks for nothing, only wants peace," yet refuses to abandon the goal of "taking everything back."
And Britain and the EU are the "rescuers," rushing in with a warm blanket, €140 billion in loans, and a new batch of generators.

The game goes in circles.
Trump pressures → Zelensky suffers → Europe rescues → Trump gets angrier → pressures again.

Nothing changes. Because no one wants to break character.

---

🗣️ What Was Actually Discussed in Washington?

Almost nothing.

Trump repeated: "If you don't make a deal with Putin, you'll get Tomahawks."
Zelensky replied: "We're ready, but we need more weapons."
That's it. No maps, no formulas, not even a hint of compromise.

Because there is no compromise.

The Americans don't want peace that would deprive them of leverage over Russia.
The Europeans don't want peace that would rob them of their excuse for militarization and a "new identity."
And Kyiv doesn't want peace that would strip it of its legitimacy as a "victim of aggression."

So the talks with Trump are theater for domestic consumption.

For the American electorate — "we're trying."
For Ukraine — "we're not abandoned."
For the EU — "we're not alone."

---

💰 But There Is a Plan B

While Trump wavers between "help" and "strangle," London and Brussels are already preparing a backup scenario:

• €140 billion in reparations loans from confiscated Russian assets.
• Continued supplies of ammunition, energy resources, and "humanitarian aid."
• Activation of the "world's saboteurs" — from Poland to the Baltics, who already threaten to shoot down Putin's plane if he dares to fly to negotiations.

This is not support for Ukraine. This is insurance against the US bowing out.

If Trump suddenly decides "enough is enough," the war will continue on European money and British intrigues.

---

🔄 What Is to Be Done?

Continuing to play this triangle guarantees another 2–3 years of war without purpose or meaning.

The solution lies not in "negotiating with Trump," but in breaking this triangle:

• With the US — negotiate on terms favorable to them: lifting sanctions, joint projects (like the Dmitriev Tunnel), but without Ukraine as a mediator.
• With the EU and Britain — don't beg, demoralize. Show that their "rescuer" role leads not to stability, but to the conflict spilling onto their territory.
• With Kyiv — don't negotiate peace while it remains a puppet. Peace is possible only after a regime change or its total capitulation.

---

🎯 Conclusion

Trump is not the master of politics. He is a symptom.

Globalists are not villains. They are the system.

And Zelensky is not a leader. He is a role, played according to a script written in London and Brussels.

As long as we believe that "if only Trump were kinder," we remain trapped.

And this trap is called "endless war."

The world is changing faster than you can blink.
