Trump assured US soybean farmers that Ch would buy 12M tonne of soybean by the end of 2025

The end of the year is here (15 days away) & so far only about 300,000 tonne has been sold to Ch

This is devastating for those farmers, who relied on this market & his promises…

When you think about the pressure Trump is putting on Ukr & Eu, we should note that the US Congress just passed a defence bill that locks US troops into Eu, funds Ukr for 2 years & strengthens NATO’s eastern flank

So! The US Congress is saying Trump can’t dismantle the post WWII order on a whim

Finally confirmed…. Good!
December 12, 2025 at 7:59 PM
The EU has invoked its Emergency Powers Act - Article 122 to permanently immobilize Russian assets held in the EU domain to assist in the reconstruction of Ukr

This takes a major part of Trump’s carpetbagger ‘Plan’ off the table as well as ensuring ongoing independent Eu support for Ukr…

The latest from Lavrov:-

“Russia is not planning to attack Europe and is ready to put this in writing… in a legally binding document… as part of collective security guarantees…”

Sound familiar?

If Putin did go to war with Eu…

Pol/Lith (under NATO) would instantly close the Suwalki Gap & NATO would blockade Kaliningrad, thus cutting Ru off from the Baltic

With its air superiority, NATO would also make the Black Sea untenable for Ru shipping & drive out the Ru navy
December 8, 2025 at 1:23 PM
So! Whilst it was focused on oil, we see a key reason for Putin’s trip to India was Ru’s labour shortage

RU’s First Deputy PM, Denis Manturov, announced ystdy that Ru is ready to accept an unlimited number of Indian workers to work in Ru factories

Mocking the US Peace Talks on live TV was a bonus…
December 6, 2025 at 12:47 PM
The new US ‘National Security Strategy’ doc’ clearly pivots US away from Eu

It says Eu is run contrary to US interests, even that Eu Governments are minorities, lacking legitimacy & should be ousted

It also stops anyone joining NATO (incl Ukr, Moldova)

It is basically proposing Eu fragmentation…

Putin at TV interview in India today:-

Interviewer: “Can you talk about your meeting with Witkoff?”

Putin: “I doubt it would interest you to hear about it, as it lasted 5 hours. Frankly, even I grew weary of it”

So much for ‘Peace!’

He’s cheerfully taking the US for a ride & loving it…
December 5, 2025 at 12:49 AM
After 5 hrs of talks with Witcoff & Kushner, Putin’s aide & spokesman Yuri Ushakov says:-

“We are no closer, but also no further apart:”

Putin doesn’t want to be seen as saying ‘No!’, but he IS saying no…

Instead he’s spent today & ystdy blaming Eu & Ukr for being warmongers who don’t want Peace
December 3, 2025 at 12:09 AM
Putin today:-

“If Ukrainian troops withdraw from the territories they currently occupy, then we will cease hostilities

If they do not withdraw, we will achieve this by military means”

So much for Trump’s Peace Plan, or ANY Peace Plan

This guy wants war, only war!
November 27, 2025 at 5:52 PM
What’s not being talked about in the ‘impossible’ US (Ru) Peace Plan is…

By getting Trump to endorse it, Witkoff (& so Putin), very successfully took the pressure off US sanctions on Ru. Last week, Congress was set to vote on Ru sanctions and now it’s not…

Now that’s a big WIN for Putin, isn’t it?

Just think…

This week, Nvidia has reached a market capitalisation value of $4.6tn

That's more than the entire market capitalisation of all but 33 public companies in the world…

But Bessemt says:-

“The $2,000 dividend could simply be the tax decreases that are part of the President’s agenda.”

e.g. he said:
- No tax on tips
- No tax on overtime
- No tax on Social Security
- Deduction on auto loans

So! This is yet an another LIE…

You don’t get a payment!
November 10, 2025 at 5:21 PM
Bessent is now saying:-

“The $2,000 dividend could come in lots of forms... It could simply be the tax decreases that are part of the President’s agenda.”

e.g. he floated:
- No tax on tips
- No tax on overtime
- No tax on Social Security
- Deduction on auto loans

So! You don’t get actual money!
November 10, 2025 at 9:26 AM
@ SCOTUS today, Trump argued he can tariff anyone because the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) - passed to modernise & limit POTUS emergency economic powers uses the word ‘regulate’ in its terms

So! he & he alone gets to define what an emergency is & what regulate means

Has anyone really asked about this famous WH Ballroom?

It started @ 60,000 sq ft & $200m, now it’s 90,000 sq ft & $350m!

Anyone wonder why we’ve never seen the actual plans, or why none have been submitted to the DC Planning Authority?

This is no ballroom, he’s building a whole new White House…

The USA is 340m people & on today, the 1st of Nov 2025;

Obamacare premiums doubled affecting over 24m people…

SNAP food aid lapsed affecting over 41m people…

This! In the richest country the world has ever known…

When THE Buckingham Palace will disown their own family member before the US AG (under oath) or Dept of Justice will even admit there IS a problem

The much vaunted US Law & Order system is a Joke…
October 30, 2025 at 8:46 PM
Lavrov insists that there are ‘understandings’ between Putin & Trump

He also says Ru will not freeze the war for talks & Ru demands (Alaska) are unchanged

So! If Trump attends the proposed Budapest Mtng with no Ru change & no US leverage, there is no point

Seems Trump just wants to sell arms…
October 21, 2025 at 3:39 AM
Trump meeting Putin in Budapest (home of the infamous Memorandum) is yet another Ru win

Criminal Putin will stand on EU soil, discuss lifting sanctions, what arms to provide to Ukr, who should be in NATO, his new demands

Trump’s aiding Orban, he knows nxtyr’s election is close, but at what cost?
October 17, 2025 at 6:12 PM
Quote from a CNBC interview today, answering a Q put by CNBC’s Joe Kerman

Bessant: "At the meeting in Geneva, when I asked them [China], 'Why didn't you continue buying soybeans and the other products?' they had one word, and guess what it was? .. Biden."

He obviously didn’t win with China 2day…

ICE shooter was not a ‘radical leftist’, as claimed by FBI Director Patel

Joshua John’s brother Noah reveals he was a registered ‘Independent’ with a drug charges arrest record, who “didn’t have strong feelings about ICE…”

“He didn’t have any strong political feelings as far as I knew” he added
September 24, 2025 at 10:29 PM
Trump was laughed at again during his speech to the UN GA

When he said:- “your countries are going to hell” & about London going to Sharia Law you could see audience members sniggering to each other

Again with “falsely named renewables… the wind doesn’t blow” & “I ended 7 wars” smiles all round!
