Special episode of "Tales of Regime Change" I recorded with Jack Posobiec this week, focusing on the seminal event of the Maidan Square revolution in Ukraine in 2014, supported by USAID, the US State Department & the CIA.

VIDEO SYNTHESIS / It’s being reported that Zelensky originally wanted a 50-year security guarantee and that POTUS refused, offering instead 15 years as a compromise. I don’t buy it. I think talk of any 50 year agreement is pure theatre, a tool offered to help POTUS sell the deal to MAGA, so he can say say “look how I negotiated Zelensky down”. My view: not 15 years. Not 15 weeks. America needs to cut “the Green Goblin” loose TODAY. This is a “deal” even Bush 43 and Dick Cheney couldn’t have dreamt up at their Neocon worst.

VIDEO SYNTHESIS / The US hasn’t negotiated a “deal”. It’s giving Zelensky what he only ever wanted. On a silver platter. Ukraine’s hold-out for NATO membership was only ever strategic. A card to be played in negotiation, a quid-pro-quo to be exchanged for its ultimate prize — US “security guarantees”. The real news today is that 7% of Republicans have stopped identifying as MAGA and have reverted back to being vanilla Republicans again. POTUS needs to URGENTLY kick Zelensky to the curb — with no security guarantees — and deliver some great WINS on the domestic front.

VIDEO SYNTHESIS / If there’s one body guaranteed to be indifferent to the will of the American people it’s Congress. I was surprised therefore to see President Trump hand the responsibility for the decision on US “security guarantees” for Ukraine to Congress, given it has done everything in its power to make “Ukraine First” the official policy of the US. This manoeuvre could give POTUS the ceasefire he promised while cannily avoiding any MAGA backlash over the obligations it’s predicated on.

VIDEO SYNTHESIS / Tucker Carlson says that Andriy Yermak — Zelensky’s chief of staff, who’s just been “resigned” following anti-corruption raids on his home and office — had siphoned off hundred$ of million$ — and that the Wall Street Journal had sat on this story for months. If the Murdoch Press knew — and was suppressing it — it’s difficult to believe US intelligence didn’t also know — and was equally suppressing it. I speculate the US ordered Zelensky to discard Yermak now — because of impatience to pivot to “the Mother of all Grifts” — the “Reconstruction” of Ukraine.
