Putin to reject Trump’s peace offer. New Russian conditions demand concessions from the U.S., not just Ukraine:

“Kellogg comes to Moscow with his plan, we take it and tell him to screw himself, because we don’t like any of it.”
1/
The Russian conditions for negotiations

1. Reversal of U.S. Support for Ukraine:

Cease the provision of advanced long-range weapons to Ukraine [So, it is finally hurting! Great!]

Remove President Volodymyr Zelenskyy from power [How? Kill him?]

2/
2. Territorial Concessions

Ukraine must formally cede four occupied regions to Russia [This is impossible as it would violate the Ukrainian Constitution]

Commit to never joining NATO [The same here] 3/
3.High-Level Global Negotiations:

Trump and Putin must meet to discuss a “general agreement” on the global order, security and geopolitics, the Middle East and Russia-China relations

[This is delusional non-sense as the U.S. doesn’t have formal power over other countries] 4/
Acknowledge Ukraine as part of Russia’s core sphere of influence

[Basically, surrender Ukraine to Russia and make it a province. Won’t happen!] 5/
4. Sanctions Relief:

Full rollback of Western sanctions imposed on Russia

6/
5. Recognition of Russia’s Position in Global Affairs:

A long-term peace agreement must validate Russia’s global strategic interests

[I think they mean Russian right to dictate other countries policies] 7/
6. Broader Conditions for Peace:

Address other international flashpoints and establish a new global framework for peace and security

[New United Nations? With Russian at the chair seat?] 8/
There are explicit threats if demands are not met:

Escalation, including the potential use of tactical nuclear weapons, leading to catastrophic consequences and a radiation zone in Ukraine

[Russia is nuts and Trump will have his plate full with these idiots] 9/
Continued strengthening of Russia’s economy and alliances (China, Iran, North Korea) through confrontation

[At least, they are honest about who they are - barbarians who want to get their way by force, and so must be stopped by force]

Aug. 2025: Ukraine offered the U.S. cheap drones to shoot down Iran’s Shahed drones. The U.S. didn’t move forward.

March 2026: Those same drones are hitting U.S. troops in the Middle East and the U.S. is asking Ukraine how to stop them. — Axios 1/ Image
Ukraine is the most experienced country in fighting Shahed drones, which Russia has used by the thousands.

Kyiv developed cheap interceptor drones designed specifically to shoot them down. 2/
A Shahed costs about $20k–$50k.

Traditional air-defense interceptors cost millions. Cheap counter-drone systems can change that math. 3/

Two winners have emerged from Trump’s Iran war. Neither one is America.

Russia cashes in on $100 oil. China watches the U.S. burn missiles it needs for Taiwan. Max Boot writes in Washington Post. 1/ Image
Oil jumped from $73 to over $100 a barrel in days. Russia sells oil. Russia wins. Trump simultaneously relaxed sanctions on India for buying Russian oil.

Moscow’s war machine got a direct cash injection from Washington’s war in Tehran. 2/
Zelenskyy said more Patriot missiles were fired at Iran in three days than Ukraine received since 2022. Russia bombed Ukrainian power grids all winter.

Those Patriots could have protected them. Trump sent them to what one journalist called a “war of whim.” 3/

Macron: Nothing indicates war with Iran will cease in the coming days. The intense phase could last several days, perhaps several weeks.

Deep regime change cannot be achieved through bombardment, but neutralizing ballistic capabilities or a navy could be possible within weeks.1/
Macron: France is not part of the offensive against Iran.

Our objective is to protect our nationals, stand by allies if they come under fire, and stabilize the eastern Mediterranean — including helping Lebanon, which is under strong pressure.

2/
Vitalii, 52 — to drive his family to the sea.

The US quietly waived sanctions on a key Rosneft refinery in Germany.

The exemption allows transactions with Rosneft’s German subsidiaries, including the PCK refinery in Schwedt — a plant supplying about 90% of fuel to Berlin and its airport, FT. 1/ Image
Without it, the Schwedt refinery faced insolvency after earlier sanctions on Rosneft and Lukoil threatened operations once a temporary exemption expired. 2/
PCK Schwedt provides petrol, kerosene and heating fuel to Berlin and the surrounding state of Brandenburg — making it one of Germany’s most important energy hubs. 3/

Mearsheimer: From 1971 to 2021, U.S. murdered 38 million people. The amount of havoc we have wrought on the Middle East in recent years is just stunning. What we do in places like Venezuela, Cuba, Iran, we use economic leverage to basically starve people, to make them suffer. 1/
Mearsheimer: Why do you want to be a regional hegemon? There is no better way to maximize your security than to be a regional hegemon. We have a Monroe Doctrine. Why shouldn't China have a Monroe Doctrine? What's good for the goose is good for the gander. 2/
Mearsheimer: The most intense part of the competition between the United States and China is not military, it's economic and cutting edge technologies. It's things like AI, quantum computing. There is an incredibly important race to see who is on the cutting edge. 3X
