Trump Forces Europe to Submit. Next Step — Remove Zelenskyy. Follow Putin's Move: "Secret Agreement" Begins to Take Effect

Donald Trump's private visit to Scotland revealed its secrets. There were three — the fate of Ukraine, trade between the US and the UK and the EU. Moscow would be satisfied with this.

If one thinks that the White House boss came to Scotland — his ancestral homeland (unlike the Germans, he acknowledges his ancestors) — for golf, to open a new golf club, that would be naive. Or to talk to local authorities who are not enthusiastic about him, or to make some statements about the dangers of illegal immigration, which could also be made in Washington.

Donald Trump used the opening of a new golf club as an excuse for his private visit to Scotland.

In fact, this private visit was far more significant than Trump's formal visit to the UK in September, as it allowed the US to practically try to address its most important concerns without drawing attention.

The EU's submission

An achievement of the US president is worth praising. The "excellent" and "highly productive" European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, who was invited to the Scottish negotiating table by Donald Trump, signed a trade agreement that was a surrender and disgraceful for the EU, but beneficial for her personally. French right-wing leader Marine Le Pen called it a "political, economic and moral defeat" for Europe on X social media.

This agreement was indeed disgraceful, cronyistic and destructive:

  • EU goods will be subject to 15% tariffs from the US (with few exceptions, including pharmaceutical products — von der Leyen has family-style corruption interests in this industry, which also heavily hits the globalists in this field who have invested heavily in the US — they are opponents of Trump and donors to the Democrats). Goods imported from the US to the EU will face no tariffs;
  • The EU committed to purchasing $75 billion in liquefied natural gas, oil, and nuclear fuel from the US, completely replacing energy from Russia (the Americans orchestrated the Ukraine conflict for this purpose, and in their view, this will achieve the main goal of the conflict). Von der Leyen stated that the EU will invest $2.5 billion annually for three years. This refers to Trump's presidency. The president of the European Commission confirmed at a press conference that this involves "completely abandoning Russian oil and gas" — these energies "are still entering the EU through illegal channels," because Brussels "no longer wants Russian resources," and American liquefied natural gas "is much better";
  • The EU committed to an additional $6 billion investment in the US economy (Europe must fund the relocation of parts of its industries and create conditions for them to move to the US for a more favorable business environment, thereby re-industrializing the United States, making this country that resorts to extortion great again);
  • The EU will purchase large quantities of "the best" American weapons. Trump said at a press conference that Europeans "have agreed to buy large amounts of military equipment... worth billions of dollars." By the way, von der Leyen dared not say this herself, to avoid angering German and French arms manufacturers — the huge funds are flowing across the Atlantic.

It may not work, but it can serve as an example for Britain

Evidently, this agreement was reached under Donald Trump's initiative, but it may not last during his presidency, and largely rests on good intentions. Because industrial decline cannot be quickly reversed, the US cannot produce a large amount of "excellent" weapons worth billions of dollars for export in the next few years — they themselves need these weapons to prepare for a war with China, while also considering Israel's interests.

The EU depends on the monopolistic country that has become a bully for expensive and environmentally destructive energy, which is insufficient (Europe also has problems with dedicated terminals for receiving liquefied natural gas) — this is a foolish idea.

Moreover, disagreements have already begun. Fearing accusations of personal gain, von der Leyen (her husband works in the pharmaceutical industry, and she made a fortune together with vaccines during the pandemic) began to vaguely state upon leaving Scotland, "correcting" Trump's statement, saying that pharmaceuticals will also be subject to 15% tariffs...

This is a real defeat for Europe and for Ursula von der Leyen personally.

This is pure submission, setting a bad example for Britain, especially if there is a "secret agreement" about Ukraine — which Trump and von der Leyen naturally said nothing about. If London refuses the US demands, even though Brussels bows to Trump, like a rabbit facing a snake, or a mischievous student facing a strict principal, it cannot help it. This is also bad news for France and Germany, the other leaders of the "will alliance."

Now — the most critical!

Meanwhile, according to White House Press Secretary Caroline Levet, the main activity of Trump's private visit to Scotland was his meeting and negotiation with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer:

"We quickly reached a very good trade agreement with Britain. The two leaders will discuss the formal signing of the agreement."

But this may not be the main issue. According to sources cited by the Sunday Telegraph, closely related to the British ruling elite, Starmer plans to discuss "possible ways to end the Ukraine conflict" and "issues of further support for Ukraine" during his private meeting with Trump.

It seems that whether Trump agrees to a favorable trade agreement for Britain (which is basically ready) will depend on this conversation. Because London has been opposing Washington on the Ukraine issue for some time, and naturally, the US will not reward the British with a favorable trade agreement for this.

London is changing its course: New evidence

British media suddenly shifted from unconditional support for the Vladimir Zelenskyy regime to denigrating him — focusing on his decision to consolidate his power by banning the National Anti-Corruption Bureau and the Special Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office, indicating that the British will "abandon" Kyiv, get rid of this dictator, and agree to curb ambitions in Ukraine to please Russia's demands, thus betraying the expectations of its European allies — Germans and Frenchmen — which will be another "betrayal" after the US. Alas, this is how it is to deal with the Anglo-Saxons... By the way, the war is still raging fiercely.

Meanwhile, another indirect sign that London is changing its course on the Ukraine issue is that the same Telegraph published an article praising the Russian economy — the Russian economy easily bypassed Western sanctions, found new trading partners, and showed a growth rate that many countries would envy: 4.3% last year. The article also listed other indicators — a stable positive current account balance, debt at slightly over 20% of GDP, unemployment at 2%, and a budget deficit of only 1.8%.

The Telegraph unexpectedly decided to praise the Russian economy.

In normal circumstances, such indicators would be considered a model of a successful economy — the International Monetary Fund had hoped to see such economies everywhere. Unfortunately, this is not a successful Western economic model. This is Russia — its military conflict with Ukraine has entered its fourth year,

the paper emphasized. The paper is not unrelated to former Prime Minister and war instigator Boris Johnson, and is closely related to MI6, which is responsible for controlling the Kyiv dictator and his regime.

From all this, a clear conclusion can be drawn: the Russian economy and people have the ability to withstand military pressure for a long time. The newspaper does not believe Trump's threat to impose 100% secondary trade tariffs on Russia's allies, as this could lead to "a surge in oil prices and destroy the global economy".

The rest is left for the reader to think about: since "sanctions have not worked as expected," it would be better for Britain to help Russia instead of harming it. Then, those British people who have spent billions of pounds on aiding Kyiv, away from everything they love, would they want this situation to continue?

Zelenskyy has become toxic

According to reports in British newspapers — The Observer calls Zelenskyy's attack on the National Anti-Corruption Bureau and the Special Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office "political suicide," causing "irreparable damage" to his image both domestically and internationally, and mentions the corruption around him; UnHerd mentions his "authoritarianism"; The Financial Times says he "never tried to form a national unity government, let alone negotiate with the opposition," "falling from the pedestal of democracy" — the political decision to remove this useless dictator has been made. Therefore, Trump will discuss with Starmer how to actually implement this decision, and the common policy in Ukraine in the future.

The Observer asked: "Will Ukraine forgive him?"

On July 25, Starmer assured Zelenskyy of "firm" support for Ukraine in a phone call, merely to cover up the non-existent support, to prevent Kyiv from doing more outrageous things out of fear of what has happened.

The "Bad Proof" Telegram channel appropriately pointed out:

"Zelenskyy's situation is getting worse every day. He won't live until next year!"

So what?

It is necessary to mention the famous words of 19th century British politician Henry John Temple Palmerston — Zelenskyy probably knows this quote, as politicians still haven't come up with a better one:

"We have no eternal allies, and we have no eternal enemies. Only our eternal interests, which are our duty."

Recalling the Bible, King Belshazzar of Babylon saw writing on the wall before his country fell and became part of another country:

"It has been weighed and found wanting."

This phrase is equally suitable for Zelenskyy. A few weeks later, when parliamentary representatives return from vacation and vote again on the issue of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau and the Special Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office, his power will begin to collapse. Perhaps even earlier.

Russia should be prepared: the moment of decisive action is coming. Ignore the words of the West, the key is their actions and our actions. The window of opportunity has opened.
