#UkraineWar Trump siding with Europe & Ukraine. Threatens more sanctions on Russia if it doesn't agree to US-EU-Ukraine terms for ceasefire (Russia stop fighting so NATO can rearm Ukraine and so it can restore its front lines).

#UkraineWar Putin offers Ukraine/NATO to restart negotiations in Istanbul-anticipating new EU/US ceasefire initiative announcement to slow Russia military gains on the ground. So what's next: Minsk III or Istanbul II?

#UkraineWar what we see unfolding now is the EU/Ukraine's plan of 3 weeks ago (before Trump's Kellogg Plan) to freeze the conflict in order to rearm Ukraine and play for time, now that Trump's Kellogg Plan collapsed 2 weeks ago.

#Trump in interview with US mainstream media today Trump declares Russia wants all of Ukraine therefore Russia must leave all of Ukraine, including east it now occupies. That's Zelensky's position (& Lindsey Graham's). Trump now embraces US neocons' position. Ukraine now his war

#UkraineWar Just minutes ago Zelensky REPORTEDLY agreed to meet with Putin in Istanbul, the offer made by Putin yesterday. This is all beginning to look like a well orchestrated political dance, in the wake of Trump's concessions to Zelensky on the Minerals deal, (as I predicted)

#Tariffs Latest on trade war with China: Trump agrees to cut tariffs on China imports to the USA by 30%. In return China agrees to cut tariffs on US goods to China by only 10% for 90 days. Some trade war! (If it is, China's winning as Trump does another big retreat)

#UkraineWar Some history: US & So. Vietnam started negotiations with N. Vietnam/Vietcong in Paris Oct '72 on ending Vietnam war. No side demanded ceasefire first. Preliminary accords Jan. '73 but final deal not until Dec. 73. A US-N. Vietnam accord, later US forced on S. Vietnam

#Trump is the 'Pancake President'! He flip flops depending on whoever gets his ear last. So he vacillates on Ukraine war, minerals deal, tariffs, and I predict will again on the pending Tax-Spending Budget bill in Congress (and its $1.1T in working class tax cuts).

#Ukrainewar won't end until US signs separate deal with Russia, pulls all support & forces the deal on Ukraine and EU after the fact. Ukraine will never negotiate with Russia (just as So. Vietnam refused to negotiate to the very end of the Vietnam war). Ukraine law says he can't.

#Trump On his 'Truth Social' posts Saturday predict big Ukraine war breakthrough set May 15 in Istanbul. Says Ukraine should meet without ''ceasefire first" pre-condition (contradicting simultaneous statements by his rep Kellogg, supporting Zelensky, & EU saying ceasefire first)

#Rubio on Sunday, after Trump's Truth Social 5-10 post, confirms US is in agreement with EU that Russia must agree to ceasefire first; that it's just Trump shooting off on Truth Social. US in full agreement with EU and Ukraine. In short: US position divided & flip flopping

#Trump In 1953 Eisenhower simply said 'that's it' no more war in Korea & it ended; in 1973 Nixon said 'US has done enough' & Vietnam war ended; in 2025 Trump said he'd end Ukraine war in 100 days. No end in sight. The difference? Since 1990s Neocons & Deep State run US war policy

#Trump foreign & domestic policy in a nutshell: if you don't know where you're going, you can be sure you'll never get there!

#Taxes want to understand the details & objectives of Trump's $4T tax policy now taken up by Congress? Check out my last friday's Alternative Vision show's discussion at alternativevisions.podbean.com/e/alternative-…

#Zelensky says he's going to Istanbul. To meet with Putin (who's not going)? With the Russian delegation that is going there? Neither. He's going and won't meet with either, in order to force Trump to implement more sanctions on Russia
