…in another TACO move, immediately following a phone call from Moscow:

Trump urged Zelenskyy to accept Putin’s terms or be ‘destroyed’ by Russia

(Paywall) https://www.ft.com/content/7960c6aa-dbfa-4a55-91e8...

Trump suggests carving up Ukraine’s Donbas region to end war after meeting with Zelenskyy …

Trump’s comments came after a tense meeting with the Ukrainian president at the White House on Friday, and will be seen as an abrupt turn around from his stance in September, when he said that he thought Ukraine could take back all its territory and even “go further” into Russian lands.

Yes, I saw the BBC covering that story tonight.

So, after his brief moment of saying Ukraine could push the Russians completely out, Lord Trump is now back to, effectively, demanding Ukraine surrender. Cede all the territory that Russia has taken by force. Then Putin can re-equip, re-train, and come back for more.

Apparently Lord Trump's meeting with Zelensky the other day didn't go much better than the one a few months ago. The Beeb said it devolved into quite a shouting match.

Seems that, even though Zelensky is a head of state, to "JC" Trump, he is just another expendable Prole.

Putin sure has a way with controlling Trump. He can ALWAYS make Trump back down. You really have to wonder...

Does Putin have the Epstein files?...

I view Trump's pardon of sleazeball George Santos as a signal to his pedo-secret-buddy, child rapist Ghislaine Maxwell——

"Just keep quiet, enjoy your comfy new digs, and wait for your reward until I have nothing left to lose."

Does Putin have the Epstein files?...

I heard a conspiracy theory leveraging what was said by the Sec Commerce, Howard Lutnick, that Epstein was running a "honey pot" operation, for a foreign intelligence service, and shot video of the encounters. Given Maxwell's father's alleged connections to Mossad, that could be a possibility. But I would not discount the FSB. So, while Maxwell's jailhouse interview with Lord Trump's lawyer that was released publicly, utterly oozed with praise for his nibs, the private part could be "I have Jeffery's videos tucked away where you can't find them. Get me out of here, or they go public". She could not have said that to Biden, if he was not in any of the videos, so she saved it for when Lord Trump was back in power?

Here's the "honey pot" theory, on TYT, starting around the 3:50 mark.

Given Maxwell's father's alleged connections to Mossad, that could be a possibility. But I would not discount the FSB.

A bit on Robert Maxwell: alleged to have had connections with MI6, Mossad, and the KGB. He met his end while, apparently peeing, off the side of his yacht, while nekked, and falling overboard. According to the Wiki entry, three pathologists could not agree on the cause of death. Maxwell's funeral, in Israel, was attended by the Israeli PM, President, and about six current and previous heads of Israeli intelligence.

leveraging what Lutnick said, and the conspiracy theory put forward by the people on TYT, the Steve conspiracy theory points out that people who have outlived their usefulness to Putin are very accident prone, falling out of windows on a variety of occasions. The plane carrying the man who led the Wagner Group mutiny against Putin fell out of the sky. Falling off a yacht would fit their MO, especially if a couple of Maxwell's crew were agents. Of course, Mossad could "make it look like an accident" too.

Lutnick speculates that Epstein's ludicrously light sentence in Florida was bought by bartering videos of importance to Florida officials. Steve speculates that Epstein was going to make the same move, the second time he was in the clink, but was murdered before he could hand over tapes of interest to Lord Trump, so his handlers could maintain leverage over Trump.

If Ms Maxwell tries the same play, she may end up like Epstein. The move to the minimum security prison would make it easier.

Steve...you laff now, but, what if I'm right?
