Trump has not set a deadline for ending the Ukrainian conflict

'I don't have a deadline [for ending the Ukrainian conflict - ed.]. My deadline is when the war is over,' Donald Trump said (quoted by RIA Novosti).

12bytes: Trump's tough-guy facade is just that; empty and meaningless. The U.S. has no bargaining power with the Russians, who continually outsmart and outgun Trump's administration of clowns and his "state of the art" military and it's "advanced weapons". Russia will decide, not the U.S..

Russia Advances EVERYWHERE: Pokrovsk, Kupyansk, Siversk, Lyman, Guliaipole, and MORE | Mark Slebod.. (video)

The U.S. has a plan. Europe has a plan. Kiev has a plan. But do any of those plans really matter when they are all filled with points that Russia will swiftly reject?
International Relations and Security Analyst Mark Sleboda argued that all of the ongoing talks are a "moot point," as they continue to ignore Russia's most basic security concerns. He also noted that right now, Russia is advancing everywhere, and as a result:
"The butcher's bill for the war of attrition is coming due. And we're seeing it with this crumbling all along [the frontlines]. It's not just Pokrovsk and Kupyansk. It's Siversk, Lyman, Konstantinovka, Guliaipole..."

Neo-Nazi Leader Exposes Ukrainian Losses - Global Research

Even the most radical Ukrainian militants are beginning to recognize the catastrophic situation of the country's troops on the battlefield. It seems increasingly clear to everyone that Ukraine has no chance of reversing the military scenario, and that continuing to fight in the long term is futile - since this will only result in further human and territorial losses.
Maksim Zhorin, former commander of the neo-Nazi Azov battalion, recently made a statement sharing his concerns about the situation of Ukrainian soldiers on the front lines. He warned that Ukrainian troops are not only losing territory, but also "entire sectors" of key positions to Russian forces. He stated that this is an unprecedented situation, representing the largest wave of rapid Russian advance since the beginning of the conflict.

But while Secretary of State Marco Rubio tried to sound positive about the four-hour meeting, he admitted there is still a lot of work that needs to be done...
Retired U.S. Air Force Lieutenant Colonel and Professor, Karen Kwiatkowski, noted that the proposals that have been reported on so far from the U.S., Europe and Kiev are "not serious," and Russia has no reason to end its SMO when its key national security concerns are being ignored, and Russian forces are wearing down Kiev's military on the battlefield.

Summary of the Situation on the Ukraine Front Line: The Fat Lady Sings - Chronicles - Sovereign Global Majority

[Note: What we see in the media and in the summary for the past week, is that the Ukrainian soldiers are not fighting. This summary uses different language. It talks about 'the former Ukraine' and if the Ukrainian soldiers try to break through the cauldrons, it is more like a PR stunt or an imitation of activity than a real attempt to break through. We read regularly of leaflets being dropped to tell the Ukrainian men how to surrender, as well as cell phone instructions are available.
What has also been clarified this past week is that Russia will not make any peace agreements with Ukraine, as there is no one authorised to do so. Mr Putin made it clear that they need international community agreement to finish this war, and this is the reason that they are talking to the US.
Dmitry Medvedev stated, "The corrupt government surrounding the expired Kiev clown has crumbled. He may still be sitting in his office, spewing cocaine from his nose, but he won't be the one who signs the peace treaty. The buffoon is illegitimate. The collapse of his system is inevitable. "

28 Points of NONSENSE: Russia Unbothered, Ukraine RUNNING OUT of Men | Stanislav Krapivnik (video)

The more revisions the EU and Kiev make to Trump's 28-point plan for Ukraine, the more ridiculous it is to assume that Russia would accept the document. Especially, as Russia is the side winning this war of attrition with advantages in manpower and weaponry that are leading to signifiant advances on the battlefield, as Kiev's defensive lines start to fall apart.
Stanislav Krapivnik, a former U.S. Army officer, supply chain exec and military and geopolitical expert, noted that while the West is branding Trump's offer as a type of surrender for Kiev, it's actually asking Russia to capitulate to the West's demand for a ceasefire with a "letter of intent" to try to make it look like NATO wants an end to the war.
As for the question of what Moscow is willing to accept, he pointed out that it seems the Russian government is finally coming to the conclusion that this conflict will have to be settled on the battlefield.

Zelensky's Right-Hand Man RESIGNS + Putin Slams the West for Forcing Fight 'To the Last Ukrainian'

The walls are closing in around Zelensky, as his Chief-of-Staff and right-hand man, Andrey Yermak, just resigned after his properties were raided in a growing corruption investigation that has already hit multiple members of Zelensky's inner circle, including his former business partner.
This, as media in the West are intentionally misrepresenting recent comments by Russian President Putin, and claiming he is vowing to fight "to the last Ukrainian." In reality, Putin is criticizing those in the West who are profiting off of the war, and who are willing to continue it until there are no more Ukrainians left to fight:
"The ones attacking Mr. Witkoff are precisely those who align with this second point of view, those who want to join the Ukrainian establishment in siphoning off money while prolonging hostilities until the last Ukrainian dies. But I have already said publicly: in fact, we are prepared for this."

Zelensky's former top aide 'disgusted by lack of support' amid corruption probe - RT Russia & Former Soviet Union

12bytes: This is funny. According to one of the ex-CIA guys i listen to, the "anti-corruption" bureau in Ukraine was set up by the U.S. to conceal corruption and apparently it did its job fairly well; lots of the weapons given to Ukraine were sold to other countries, including Mexico. Now that somebody up top decided it's time to kick the little coke-sniffing clown out however, the anti-corruption bureau started to do its job.

Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky's close associate Andrey Yermak has decried the lack of support he received after an anti-corruption raid, which prompted his resignation as chief of staff.
Investigators from Ukraine's Western-backed anti-corruption agencies NABU and SAPO searched Yermak's apartment on Friday morning. Although he was not charged with any crime, Yermak tendered his resignation hours later.
The raid occurred a little over two weeks after NABU and SAPO uncovered a $100 million kickback scheme, which implicated Zelensky's former longtime business partner, Timur Mindich, and led to the resignation of two government ministers.

NATO Efforts to Weaken Russia FAILED. US Needs to END Support for Ukraine War - Prof. Jeffrey Sach.. (video)

Reports say that last week, U.S. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll went to Kiev, and warned that Ukrainian troops faced a dire situation on the battlefield and would suffer an imminent defeat against Russian forces. This, as the Trump Admin tries to make a deal with Russia, and Europe and Kiev present versions that would sabotage the talks altogether.
Jeffrey Sachs, an economist, best-selling author, and professor at Columbia University, argued that if the U.S. withdraws its support for Ukraine, then Europe won't be able to handle the burden of the proxy war against Russia, and Kiev won't be able to survive on its own... therefore, the war will come to an end.

OpenAI needs $200bn to continue losing money - HSBC - Nexus Newsfeed

OpenAI, the owner of ChatGPT, may need to raise more than $200 billion by 2030 in order to continue operating, according to HSBC research cited by several media outlets.
The company needs the funding to continue expansion as computing costs climb amid an accelerating and increasingly frantic global AI race.
HSBC's updated research model, distributed to clients this week, follows OpenAI's recent long-term cloud and compute agreements with Microsoft, Amazon, and Oracle. Even under the bank's upbeat growth assumptions, the model still leaves OpenAI with a funding gap of about $207 billion by the end of the decade, with revenues expected to reach $129 billion.
