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.

EPISODE 013: TOMAHAWKS STILL IN STORAGE — ONE STEP FROM WAR

🎯 TOMAHAWK RANGE: 2500 KM 🚀

UKRAINE

RUSSIA

USA

Launch Site | 2500 km Range | Russian Targets

The BGM-109 Tomahawk cruise missiles are not just weapons. They are the language of American diplomacy, written at 880 km/h with a range of up to 2500 kilometers. But in 2025, this language has become... economical.

The Pentagon is no longer purchasing new Tomahawks for itself. Instead, it's focusing on repair, modernization, and extending the service life of missiles that are already over 15 years old. Processors in the guidance systems are being updated, software is being rewritten, and controllers are being replaced. All to maintain the combat readiness of an arsenal of about 4,150 units without new production costs.

The production line at Raytheon is still operating — but only thanks to export orders. Japan, Australia, the Netherlands: they pay so that the U.S. doesn't forget how to make Tomahawks. Without them, the line would close. And then — no supplies. Not for the U.S. Not for Ukraine.

---

🎯 Why Ukraine?

Because the Tomahawk is not just a missile. It's a political signal — to Moscow and Beijing simultaneously.

According to Meduza and RBC, the U.S. president and his team are seriously considering transferring 20-50 missiles to Kyiv. Not for a massive strike. Not to break through air defenses. But as a political gesture.

For the launch, the mobile Typhon system is planned to be used — a ground-based launcher based on Mark 41 containers. Two batteries are already stationed in the Pacific. A third is in Germany. But if Trump decides, some of the systems could end up in the Kharkiv region by the end of the year.

---

💥 What Can Tomahawks Do?

• Range: up to 2500 km (vs. ~300 km for Storm Shadow).
• Warhead: 450 kg, capable of penetrating concrete shelters.
• Guidance: TERCOM + satellite correction + radar tracking.
• Stealth: low-altitude flight, radar evasion.

This is a weapon capable of reaching Geran drone factories in Tatarstan, Su-34 airbases near Voronezh, or reserve command posts near Ryazan. But — and this is key — only with mass use. And 20-50 missiles is not mass. It's a gesture.

---

🇷🇺 Kremlin Is Already Nervous

Putin called the potential supply a "qualitatively new level of escalation." His press secretary Peskov reminded: "Tomahawk can also carry a nuclear warhead." Although everyone knows — Kyiv will only get conventional ones. But fear is more important than facts.

For the Kremlin, "Tomahawks" are not just missiles. They are a symbol of Western threat, which it used as justification for the invasion. And now, when the threat becomes real — even in minimal quantities — the rhetoric is sharply escalating.

---

🏭 What About Production?

The U.S. is reducing production. The reason is the transition to a new generation: hypersonic missiles, ERAM, JASSM-ER. The Tomahawk is a respected veteran, but not the future. Therefore, the Pentagon doesn't want to spend the last munitions on a conflict where they won't decide the outcome.

However...

If Trump decides that the political benefit outweighs the tactical limitations, supplies will begin. But Trump, at the meeting with Zelensky, decided otherwise — escalation is not needed.

---

💡 Conclusion: The Language of Diplomacy

"Tomahawk" in 2025 is not a weapon of victory.

It is a tool of pressure.

Its power is not in quantity, but in the hint.

The possibility of its use is already a threat.

And a threat is sometimes more effective than a strike.

But if the strike does follow...

Then we will see how far the Kremlin is ready to go to a "qualitatively new level."

EPISODE 012: TRUMP DECLARED 500% — AND IT'S NOT A THREAT, IT'S A SIGNAL

WASHINGTON, OCTOBER 16, 2025

If you thought the U.S.-China trade war was just about tariffs and deficits, you were seriously mistaken. This is a theater of strategic pressure, where every tariff point is not a number, but a shot in the dark. And 500% is not a tariff. It's a declaration of war in soft packaging.

This week, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, a man with the face of a former hedge fund manager and the speech of a former diplomat, told the world:

"89 out of 100 senators are ready to give Trump the power to impose 500% tariffs on China - for buying Russian oil."

It sounds like a sanction. But in reality, it's political blackmail. Beijing is being offered a choice: either stop supporting Moscow energetically, or your exports to the U.S. will be ruined.

💰 TRADE WAR ESCALATION: 500% TARIFFS ⚡

CHINA

RUSSIA

USA

UKRAINE

500% TARIFFS

Oil Flow → Tariff Barrier → Ukraine Fund

---

🛢️ Why Oil?

Because oil is not just a commodity. It's the lifeblood of the Russian war machine. And if China continues to buy it (and it does - in record volumes), it automatically becomes a financial accomplice to everything happening in eastern Ukraine. Washington has long been looking for a reason to involve Beijing in the conflict not as an observer, but as a defendant. And now - the reason is found.

But there's a second layer.

In October 2025, China introduced strict control over rare earth exports - those very metals without which neither chips, nor rockets, nor electric vehicles work. Beijing calls this a "national security measure." Washington calls it "economic blackmail." Bessent stated directly:

"If China wants to be an unreliable partner for the world, the world will have to break ties."

This is not diplomacy. It's a Cold War-style ultimatum.

---

🇪🇺 Where is Europe?

Where it always is - in the shadows. The U.S. is actively pressuring Brussels, demanding the introduction of similar tariffs. But Europe is silent. It fears:

• Its own supply chains,
• The Chinese market,
• And that tomorrow Beijing will cut off not only rare earths, but also batteries, solar panels, and logistics.

Trump knows this. And that's why he acts alone, but with demonstrative Senate support. This is not just economics - it's a show of force. He wants to prove to the world: America no longer asks. It dictates.

---

🇺🇦 What about Ukraine?

Here's where it gets interesting.

According to The Telegraph, revenues from these 500% tariffs will go to a new "Ukraine Victory Fund." That is, every Chinese microchip, every iPhone, every container of clothes - all this will finance the supply of Tomahawks and HIMARS to Kyiv.

This is brilliantly cynical.

The U.S. takes money from China - and spends it on the war against Russia, which China, according to Washington, supports. A closed loop. A perfect mechanism.

---

🇨🇳 And China?

Beijing responds with the old good slogan:

"If you want to fight, we will fight to the end. If you want to talk, the doors are open."

But behind this is a waiting strategy. Less than two weeks remain until the APEC summit in South Korea. Trump has already said that "everything will be fine" and even expressed willingness to "help China." This is not softness. It's contrast play: first the threat of apocalypse, then the saving hand.

But if the negotiations fail?

Then on November 1, 100% tariffs will come into force. And 500% are already looming on the horizon like a storm cloud.

---

💡 Conclusion: The New Economic Doctrine

This is no longer a trade war. It's an economic doctrine of the new world, where:

• tariffs = weapons,
• exports = geopolitical currency,
• and global supply chains = battlefield.

And in this field, the U.S. has decided to move from defense to offense.

The only question is: Is China ready to respond not with words, but with deeds?

EPISODE 011: THE NOBEL COMMITTEE CHOSE SUBSTANCE OVER SHOW

NOBEL PEACE PRIZE 2025

Oslo, October 2025

Leaves fell silently over the Nobel Institute, but the silence was louder than any demonstration. In a decision that stunned diplomats and delighted conspiracy theorists, the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded not to someone who claimed to "end wars with one call," but to María Corina Machado — a Venezuelan opposition figure, once stripped of her mandate, now elevated to the status of moral counterweight to a crumbling authoritarian order.

And in Mar-a-Lago, Donald Trump watched the broadcast... and said nothing.

---

🏆 The Prize He Didn't Get

For months, rumors circulated: Trump would get the prize. After brokering a fragile Black Sea grain corridor truce. After halting a NATO-Russia cyber clash with a single tweet. After repeatedly declaring: "I'm the only one who can stop World War III."

He even joked about it at a rally:

"People keep telling me I should get the Nobel Prize. And you know what? They're right."

But the Nobel Committee, ever wary of spectacle, chose substance over show.

The citation for Machado read:

"For unyielding defense of democratic institutions in the face of systematic repression, and for embodying the quiet courage with which citizens refuse to surrender their future to tyranny."

No missiles. No tariffs. No golden escalators. Just a woman in exile, organizing voter registries in encrypted apps while Maduro's intelligence services hunt her shadow.

SPECTACLE
(TRUMP)

SUBSTANCE
(MACHADO)

---

🎭 The Theater of Moral Capital

Trump's absence from the laureate list is not an oversight. It's a deliberate reassessment of what "peace" means today.

• Trump's peace — a deal: truces for photo ops, military contracts disguised as diplomacy, containment through threats.
• Machado's peace — being: daily affirmation that truth, law, and ballots still matter — even when they're banned.

The Committee sent a clear signal:

"Peace is not the absence of war. It is the presence of justice."

In this light, Trump's "peace" looks less like statecraft and more like risk arbitrage.

---

👻 The Ghost of Oslo Past

This isn't the first time Trump has been overlooked. In 2020, after the Abraham Accords, he demanded the prize so loudly that the Norwegian committee chair publicly sighed. He didn't get it then. He didn't get it now.

Why? Because the Nobel Peace Prize isn't awarded for preventing escalation — it's awarded for creating something that outlasts crisis.

Machado didn't just oppose Maduro. She built parallel institutions:

• Shadow electoral council
• Legal aid network funded by the diaspora
• Youth movement trained in nonviolent resistance

Trump, by contrast, dismantled more institutions than he built.

---

🤫 The Irony of Recognition

The cruelest paradox?

Trump indirectly contributed to Machado's rise.

His administration's sanctions on Venezuela's oil sector, recognition of Juan Guaidó, and freezing of PDVSA assets created cracks in Maduro's armor through which figures like Machado could emerge.

But when the world honored the fruit of that pressure, the medal went to the tree — not the storm.

---

🧠 What This Means for the Control Stack

In the hierarchy of power — what the Control Stack framework calls Layer 3 (Narrative) — this prize was a seismic shift.

• Trump's narrative: "Only I can fix it."
• Machado's narrative: "We're already doing it together."

One relies on the cult of the solver. The other on the resilience of the collective.

The Committee chose the latter — not out of ideology, but survival instinct. In an era of algorithmic warfare and AI disinformation, the last line of defense remains civic courage.

And it can't be negotiated. It can only be lived.

---

💡 Conclusion: The Silence After the Announcement

In Florida, Trump posted nothing. No furious tweet. No threat to sue. Just silence.

Perhaps for the first time, he understood:

Some victories cannot be claimed.

They must be earned in obscurity,

defended without applause,

and recognized only when the powerful can no longer look away.

Machado received the prize.

But the real reward —

is that the world still believes: peace is possible,

even when the loudest man in the room says otherwise.

EPISODE 010: THE TOMAHAWK THRESHOLD — AMERICA'S CALCULATED GAMBLE IN THE SHADOW OF MOSCOW

Washington, October 2025

In the hushed corridors of the White House, where decisions echo louder than artillery, President Donald Trump has drawn a line—not in the sand, but in the flight path of a missile. On October 6, he declared that the decision to arm Ukraine with Tomahawk cruise missiles is "almost made." But this is no mere arms transfer. It is a geopolitical detonator wrapped in diplomatic caution tape.

"I want to know what they'll do with them. Where they'll send them," Trump said.

"I'm not looking for escalation."

Yet, in the calculus of modern warfare, intent matters less than capability. And Tomahawk—1,250 to 2,500 kilometers of subsonic precision—does not whisper. It announces.

1. The Weapon That Redraws the Map

Tomahawk is not just a missile. It is a strategic eraser.

• Designed in the 1970s, it was never meant for proxy wars on Europe's eastern flank.
• It flies low, hugs terrain, evades radar—and can strike Moscow from Kyiv.
• It carries conventional or nuclear payloads. In this context, even the non-nuclear variant carries nuclear-level implications.

For Ukraine, Tomahawk would be more than firepower—it would be deterrence by reach. A single salvo could hit deep into Russia's military-industrial heartland: Voronezh, Samara, even the outskirts of the capital. Targets once deemed untouchable would fall within the kill chain of a Ukrainian launch command.

But here's the paradox: Tomahawk's greatest power lies not in its warhead, but in its message.

🎯 TOMAHAWK RANGE FROM UKRAINE 🚀

Kyiv

Moscow

Voronezh

Warsaw

1,250 km | 2,500 km | Strategic Depth

---

2. The Theater of Controlled Escalation

Trump's hesitation is not weakness—it is calibrated brinkmanship.

He knows that every Tomahawk launched from Ukrainian soil will be read in Moscow as an American shot. Vladimir Putin has already warned: such a move would "destroy" U.S.-Russia relations. Not strain. Not damage. Destroy.

And yet, Trump teeters on the edge—not to provoke, but to leverage.

• He offers the weapon, but demands guarantees.
• He opens the door, but keeps his hand on the knob.
• He signals resolve to Kyiv, while whispering restraint to the Kremlin.

This is deterrence theater: a performance where the audience includes not just Putin, but NATO allies, the American electorate, and history itself.

---

3. The Illusion of Control

But can control be maintained once the missiles leave the silo?

U.S. officials admit they fear loss of oversight—especially if Tomahawks are sold to NATO allies who then transfer them to Ukraine, as Zelenskyy reportedly proposed during their UN meeting. The chain of custody becomes a legal fiction. The accountability, blurred.

And Russia will not care about paperwork.

Putin has already declared that operating Tomahawk requires U.S. personnel involvement—a claim likely exaggerated, but strategically potent. If Moscow believes American officers are in the loop, then every strike becomes a de facto act of war by the United States.

Even if false, the perception is enough.

---

4. The Ghost of Biden's Restraint

This moment marks a sharp break from the past.

Joe Biden refused Tomahawk transfers, fearing the red line would ignite. Trump, ever the disruptor, sees that line not as a barrier—but as a bargaining chip.

His logic is cold and transactional:

"Give them the missile. Make them promise not to use it recklessly. Then watch Putin flinch."

But warfare rarely obeys promises. And once the threshold is crossed, there is no recall.

---

5. What Comes Next?

Expect one of three outcomes:

1. Conditional Transfer: A limited batch of Tomahawks arrives—with GPS locks, usage logs, and real-time U.S. monitoring. A high-tech leash on a long-range wolf.
2. Strategic Bluff: The "almost decided" rhetoric is theater—a pressure tactic to force Russia to negotiate, without ever shipping a single missile.
3. Point of No Return: Missiles are delivered. Ukraine tests the range. Russia responds—not with words, but with escalation of its own. The spiral begins.

---

Conclusion: The Missile That Carries a Question

Tomahawk does not just carry explosives. It carries a question:

Are we still in a proxy war—or have we crossed into shared combat?

Trump's "almost" is the last breath before the plunge. He wants guarantees, but guarantees cannot bind chaos. He seeks to avoid escalation, yet hands Ukraine the very tool that guarantees it.

In the new era of hybrid warfare, altitude doesn't matter.

What matters is who controls the arc of escalation.

And right now, that arc is aimed—not at a radar site or an airfield—but at the fragile membrane separating proxy conflict from great-power war.

America has loaded the missile.

Now, the world holds its breath—waiting to see who presses "launch."

EPISODE #009: CHINA LAUNCHES AN "INVISIBLE" MISSILE — AND DOES IT IN PLAIN SIGHT

Northern China, August 2025

Amid escalating global tensions, China conducted a test of a new ballistic missile with a hypersonic glide vehicle. But this was not a covert test. It was a public strategic gesture.

Footage spread through commercial satellites and eyewitnesses shows: the missile launches from a ground-based platform, reaches space — and then the second stage ignites in the dense layers of the atmosphere, accelerating the warhead on the final leg of its trajectory. This was not done by accident. This is a demonstration of control over a new type of weapon that does not follow the old rules.

---

Why This Is Not Just "Another Launch"

🔹 1. Trajectory as a Weapon

The missile used a non-standard trajectory — possibly partially orbital or "boost-glide." This allows:

• Bypassing missile defense radars along an unpredictable arc
• Reducing the enemy's reaction time to less than 5 minutes
• Striking targets from any direction — even from the "rear" side of a continent

🚀 TRAJECTORY ANALYSIS 🎯

Non-ballistic path | Hypersonic glide | Unpredictable approach

🔹 2. Hypersonic + Ballistic = New Threat Class

The hypersonic glide vehicle (HGV) does not fly in a parabolic trajectory. It maneuvers at speeds above Mach 5, changing course and altitude. Current missile defense systems — THAAD, Aegis, GMD — are not designed for such targets.

🔹 3. Beijing Didn't Hide — It Showed

Unlike previous tests conducted in secrecy, this time the video appeared in the public domain. This is not a leak. This is an intentional leak.

China is telling the world:

"You see what we can do. Now decide if you want to provoke us."

---

Who's in the Line of Fire?

• Guam — within range even at medium distances
• Japan and South Korea — under threat of conventional strike without escalating to nuclear war
• USA — their early warning systems may fail to recognize the threat in time

---

What's Next?

Expect:

• New "public" tests — now this is part of the deterrence doctrine
• Integration of HGV into DF-17, DF-26, and even DF-41
• Countermeasures from the U.S. and NATO: accelerated development of hypersonic intercept systems (e.g., Glide Phase Interceptor)

---

Conclusion:

China no longer tests weapons in silence.

It launches them in front of its enemies — as a reminder:

A new era of warfare has already begun.

And in it, altitude doesn't matter.

What matters is who controls the trajectory of chaos.
