THE GREATEST AMERICAN BETRAYAL OF ITS ALLIES IN HISTORY.
While Russia continues its war against Ukraine, the Trump administration is reportedly negotiating sweeping energy and business deals with Moscow.
Russian oil, diesel, Nord Stream gas pipelines, American investments, access to Russian airspace, and even arrangements involving Ukraine’s occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant are reportedly on the table.
Let that sink in.
While Ukrainians fight and die defending their country, Washington is exploring opportunities to do business with the very country responsible for invading it.
President Zelenskyy has already warned that the United States is choosing the wrong side of history.
And he has every reason to be furious.
Europe and America’s traditional Western allies have every reason to be deeply alarmed. If these proposals become reality, the consequences for transatlantic trust, NATO unity, and America’s credibility could be enormous.
For decades, the United States presented itself as the leader of the free world, a defender of democracy, sovereignty, and international law.
Now, its administration appears increasingly willing to put business opportunities with Putin’s Russia ahead of the principles it once claimed to defend.
This is not just about Ukraine. It is about whether America’s allies can ever trust Washington again.
And the consequences of that betrayal could last for generations.
The Sept. U.S. trade deficit in goods was $134.9 billion, the highest ever recorded in Sept. There were only three months in history when the deficit was higher, all under Trump in 2025.
Here are the facts. Measured by the size of our trade deficits, Trump has been the worst president in history on trade. The tariffs have been a complete failure. Not only have they failed to bring manufacturing back to the U.S., but the U.S. is now more dependent than ever on foreign producers. Not only are we importing more than ever, but we are now paying Trump's tariffs on those imports.
Trump says trade deficits represent a loss. Judged by his own standard, Trump is the biggest loser in the history of the presidency. Also, if the economy is booming as Republicans claim, why have our trade deficits gone way up? Why are the trade deficits under Trump so much larger than they were under Biden, when, according to Trump, we had the worst economy in U.S. history?
Here are the facts. When you compare Trump's first two years to Biden's last two, GDP growth and job creation are slower, inflation is higher, and budget and trade deficits are bigger. If Trump is right that under Biden we had the worst economy in history, and the Trump economy is objectively worse on all counts, then the Trump economy is now the worst economy in history.
20.11.2014: Girkin says Crimea was never meant to be the endpoint: a “diamond in the crown of the Russian Empire,” but “Crimea alone… is not enough.” After Crimea, the next step followed in April 2014: Girkin appeared armed in Donbas and took Sloviansk.
27.01.2014: “Ukraine is part of our country.” & “Ukraine is not a state at all.” Weeks before Russia annexed Crimea, Rosneft vice-president Mikhail Leontyev laid bare the imperial claim: Ukraine has no sovereignty of its own. Its land belongs to Russia.
🚨🚨🚨 PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THIS🚨🚨🚨
Whilst Melania claims she is saving the people in Oleshky who have been starving to death under Russia occupation and bombing, Russian forces for refusing to let Oleshky residents cross the short Dnipro River distance to Ukrainian-held areas during evacuations, directing them instead deeper into occupied Crimea or Russia where they risk further coercive processing.
Melania has not secured ANY guarantees that Ukrainian residents will be transported to Ukrainian held territory where they will be safe following an evacuation form Oleshky.
🔴🔴🛰️ En bridant Starlink pour l’Ukraine, Trump et Musk voulaient montrer qui tient le bouton rouge de l’internet par satellite. Ils ont réussi mais pas comme ils l’espéraient.
Partout dans le monde, des chefs d'États soudainement pris conscience de leur dépendance aux technologies de Starlink et de leur vulnérabilité. Certains accélèrent pour ne plus jamais dépendre d’un milliardaire et protéger leur souveraineté.
Tour d’horizon.
👇👇👇
🇨🇦 CANADA
Ottawa a signé un contrat de 2,3 milliards de dollars canadiens avec l’opérateur national @Telesat pour étendre sa constellation Lightspeed, à l’origine un concurrent commercial de Starlink, désormais doté d’un volet militaire sécurisé.
🇫🇮 FINLANDE
Le finlandais @iceye_global et @nokia se sont alliés pour bâtir des communications satellitaires souveraines destinées aux gouvernements européens : une plateforme clé en main où chaque État possède et contrôle son propre réseau, chiffrement compris, sans dépendre d’un fournisseur étranger.
🇪🇺 UNION EUROPÉENNE
La Commission accélère IRIS², son réseau souverain. @Airbus fabrique les 66 premiers satellites en orbite basse et @thalesgroup Alenia Space, les charges utiles sécurisées pour les usages gouvernementaux. Le programme passe à 348 satellites, avec 4 milliards d’euros supplémentaires.
🇰🇷 CORÉE DU SUD
Le 6 octobre, la Corée a réussi son premier lancement orbital de l’année avec sa fusée nationale Nuri, depuis le centre de Naro. Quinze satellites embarqués, dont cinq de la constellation Neonsat, une capacité spatiale entièrement maîtrisée sur le sol national.
🇯🇵 JAPON
Tokyo débloque environ 930 millions de dollars pour un réseau satellitaire national de connexion directe aux smartphones, pensé pour les zones isolées et les régions sinistrées. Le projet associe @Rakuten et @AST_SpaceMobile.
🇺🇦 UKRAINE
Kyiv avance sur sa propre constellation. Le projet UASAT, porté par la société STETMAN, a engagé son processus réglementaire auprès de l’Union internationale des télécommunications. Un satellite-test, UASAT-NANO, doit ouvrir la voie à un réseau souverain ukrainien.
🇩🇪 ALLEMAGNE
Le 5 septembre, la fusée Spectrum de l’allemand Isar Aerospace a atteint l’orbite lors d'un lancement opéré depuis Andøya, en Norvège. L’Europe se dote enfin d’un accès autonome à l’espace, condition de toute indépendance satellitaire.
💡 Ce que cela dit
Évidemment, aucun de ces projets n’est né en une semaine. Plusieurs étaient engagés avant l’épisode Starlink mais tous disent la même chose, et l’épisode les a accélérés : plus jamais un seul homme, ni un seul pays, ne tiendra le bouton.
Car Musk et Trump ont rappelé au monde une vérité simple : celui qui contrôle vos communications contrôle votre avenir, en tant de paix comme en tant de guerre. En bridant Starlink au-dessus d’un pays en guerre, ils ont fait la démonstration la plus contreproductive qui soit et ont oeuvré de manière spectaculaire contre leurs propres intérêts.
Et c’est peut-être le paradoxe de cette présidence : à force de brandir la dépendance comme une arme, elle pousse ses alliés à s’émanciper.
Trump’s son secretly went on vacation with a Putin’s oligarch: The two went hunting together in Mongolia this August.
Donald Trump Jr. arrived in Mongolia accompanied by the U.S. Secret Service and Republican donor Kevin Small. Later, Umar Kremlev flew in from Kazakhstan to join him, accompanied by businessman Artur Martirosov.
As a reminder, Kremlev reportedly previously paid for Trump Jr.’s wedding in the Bahamas in secret.
And we wonder why Trump is pro-russian?!

Trump’s son vacationed in Mongolia with a Russian oligarch who has ties to Putin – FT
In August, Donald Trump Jr. traveled to Mongolia, accompanied by the U.S. Secret Service and Republican donor Kevin Small. Later, the group was joined by Umar Kremlev—president of the International Boxing Association—and businessman Artur Martirosov, who arrived from Kazakhstan. Together, they went hunting.
Previously, Kremlev had been linked to the covert financing of Trump Jr.’s wedding in the Bahamas—a matter that sparked a scandal.
Who believes that Trump's mafia gang negotiated anything beneficial for Ukraine?
@HayekRonald@johnecto That's just a jumble of BS fact is Musk and Trump facilitated the murder of Ukrainians by Russia. Murdered by Trump, Musk and Putin - axis of evil.
@johnecto@HayekRonald Point is that Starlink and Musk will have lost the trust of all countries to have Starlink and the military equivalent underpinning their military operations. The development of alternatives will start immediately
@johnecto@HayekRonald Not answering the question at all, fact, Ukraine has been using Starlink to facilitate both defensive and offensive operations it was only stopped, due to a coordinated plan to put Ukraine and Zelensky to capitulate to their paymaster Putin.
Official US policy on Ukraine is now to help Russia murder as many Ukrainian families as it takes to allow the Trump family to sell off resource rich swathes of Alaska to Putin.
