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 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 ⚡

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?

The United States and Ukraine have signed an agreement on the extraction of rare earth metals: details of the deal and disagreements between the parties

 

The United States and Ukraine have officially signed an agreement on the extraction of rare earth metals, which has become an important step in the development of economic and strategic cooperation between the countries. However, the signing process was accompanied by a number of obstacles that highlight the complexity of the negotiations and the difference in the positions of the parties. Bloomberg and the Financial Times report on the last moments before the deal was concluded, as well as comments from US President Donald Trump, who noted significant benefits for Washington.

Signing the agreement and the last hurdles

According to the Financial Times, new difficulties arose on the eve of the signing of the mining agreement between Ukraine and the United States. Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Yulia Sviridenko, on her way to Washington, received a request from the team of US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to sign two additional documents. The American side set a condition: either Svirdenko agrees to sign these documents, or the visit will lose its meaning.

In Ukraine, however, they believe that it is too early to finalize the two additional agreements. According to the Ukrainian side, the texts of the documents need to be finalized in order to avoid possible negative consequences for the country. This incident demonstrates the tension in relations between Kiev and Washington, despite the common interest in the implementation of the project.

What are rare earth metals?

Rare earth metals are a group of 17 elements that play a key role in the production of modern technologies, including electronics, electric vehicles, wind turbines, and weapons. These resources are extremely important for the development of high-tech industries and defense capabilities. Control over rare earth metal deposits is becoming a strategic priority for many countries, including the United States.

Ukraine has significant reserves of these resources, which makes it an attractive partner for the United States. The agreement is aimed at organizing joint extraction and processing of rare earth metals, which will allow the United States to strengthen its supply chain of critical materials.

Benefits for the USA

In an interview with Newsnight, US President Donald Trump said that Washington would receive much more as part of the deal than it had previously invested in Ukraine. According to him, the amount transferred to Ukraine by the previous Joe Biden administration amounted to about $350 billion, including cash and military equipment. However, the new agreement will theoretically bring much greater benefits to the United States.

"We have concluded a deal under which, theoretically, we receive much more than 350 billion dollars," Trump stressed. This statement indicates that the United States views Ukraine as a strategically important partner capable of providing access to valuable resources and strengthening America's position in the global market.

Disagreements and perspectives

Despite the obvious advantages of the agreement, disagreements between Kiev and Washington may become an obstacle to its successful implementation. The Ukrainian side fears that the rush to sign additional documents may lead to unfavorable conditions for the country. At the same time, the United States is striving to consolidate its position in the region as quickly as possible and gain access to resources.

Experts note that the success of the project depends on how effectively the parties can overcome the current contradictions. If implemented, the agreement will strengthen economic cooperation between the United States and Ukraine and set a precedent for other international partnerships in the field of rare earth mining.
