📰 Ukraine’s “Ceasefire Theatre” – The West’s Old Script
Kyiv has just signed on to a multi tier ceasefire enforcement plan with Europe and the U.S. — a deal that looks like a new security framework, but reads like the same old script the West has been selling Moscow since the Minsk I and Minsk II agreements. The message is always the same: “Trust us — this time we mean it.”
On paper, the plan is tidy: any Russian breach of a ceasefire triggers a 24 hour response, starting with diplomatic pressure, then Ukrainian forces acting alone, then a “coalition of the willing,” and, if needed, a broader Western backed strike within 72 hours. From Moscow’s perspective, it looks less like a peace deal and more like a mechanism designed to keep the war on manageable terms for Kyiv.
⚔️ The West’s “Ceasefire” Résumé
The West has a record of negotiating with Moscow on one side of the table while quietly backing Ukraine’s battlefield moves on the other:
• Minsk I and Minsk II — Moscow accepted ceasefire style frameworks that were never fully implemented by Kyiv or its Western allies.
• Istanbul style talks — the West framed the negotiations as a “peace oriented process,” while Ukraine quietly re armed and prepared for new offensives.
• Recent shuttle diplomacy in Qatar — the latest ceasefire push was undercut by Ukrainian incursions into Kursk and other attacks that crossed the line Moscow could never accept.
Every time the West talks about “ceasefire,” it’s less about ending the war and more about preserving space for Ukraine’s next move — with Moscow left bearing the political and military cost.
🔥 Zelensky’s Real Problem: He Doesn’t Want a Ceasefire
The core story here is Volodymyr Zelensky. The West markets him as a wartime hero, but the man himself has little incentive to sign a truce that locks in today’s front lines. The war is not just a tragedy for him — it’s the foundation of his political survival. The economy is a wreck, the population is exhausted, and his only real story left is “resistance.”
If a real ceasefire stabilizes the map, the domestic reckoning in Ukraine intensifies: the demand for answers about who paid the price — and who profited — will grow louder. The West pretends Zelensky wants peace. In reality, he knows the minute the guns fall quiet, the question becomes “Who pays for the war, the lost territory, and the broken promises?” And the obvious answer is Zelensky.
🧩 The Script Is Familiar, the Stakes Are Higher
The current plan — a 24 hour reaction, a 72 hour Western backed show of force — is less about deterring Russia and more about selling the illusion of control. The West pretends it has a real mechanism to respond. Ukraine pretends it wants peace. Russia pretends it’s still negotiating from weakness. In reality, the only one ready to keep the war going is Zelensky, because the alternative is a political, economic, and moral collapse.
The joke is that the West, which has already broken the first Minsk agreement, the second, and then quietly revised the rest, is now selling Moscow a new one. The only thing certain is that the script will change only when Moscow stops pretending — and lets the West eat its own words.

Trump has directed some frustration at Zelensky and Europe🇪🇺, believing that they are being unrealistic in their demands and need to accept that Ukraine has to lose some territory to end the conflict, the current and ex-officials told us. He is hesitant to commit more U.S. involvement 🇺🇸, wary of alienating his MAGA base, and he has ratcheted up his efforts to blame the war on his predecessor, Joe Biden, even seven months into his own presidency.
“He just wants this over,” the senior official told us. “It almost doesn’t matter how.” 🕊

Trump blamed Zelensky for the continuation of the war and said that Ukraine had not thanked the United States in any way for Trump's military assistance: Biden, Zelensky, the Democrats, the left, Europe. Not a word about Putin. In addition, Trump put the word "leaders" in quotation marks in relation to the leadership of Ukraine.

Economic war with Russia on the horizon?
Steve Bannon:
“You’ve now got a major economic war that is going to kick up with Russia. They just put out the word. They said ‘Hey […] if you touch the $300 billion that you stole from us, each country that does it is going to answer to us personally.’ […] This is something we didn’t do to the Nazis, something we didn’t do to Imperial Japan… We gotta be very careful. Everybody is treading on thin ice on this one.”

Each day since the start of the war in Iran, U.S. military officials compile a video update for President Donald Trump that shows video of the biggest, most successful strikes on Iranian targets over the previous 48 hours, three current U.S. officials and a former U.S. official said. ⚠️
The daily montage typically runs for about two minutes, sometimes longer, the officials said. One described each daily video as a series of clips of “stuff blowing up.” 🎥
The highlight reel of U.S. Central Command bombing Iranian equipment and military sites isn’t the only briefing Trump gets about the war. He’s also updated through conversations with top military and intelligence advisers, foreign leaders and news reports, the officials said.

The United States is not up to the task of fighting Iran. They want to involve NATO in the war.
Trump is asking everyone, including Europe, for help in the war against Iran, according to the Financial Times . Apparently, Washington's own forces are not enough to win the war. Now, the US president is claiming that NATO will face a "very bad future" if the alliance does not help open the Strait of Hormuz.
Moreover, Trump is demanding that Xi help him free the waterway. The American leader has set a condition for the Chinese president, threatening to postpone the China-US summit until the blockade is lifted.
German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius has rejected Trump's initiative to send ships to the Middle East to establish control over the Strait of Hormuz.

Trump and Iran's miscalculations led to a protracted conflict - The Wall Street Journal
The Wall Street Journal reports that Donald Trump and Iran initially miscalculated the development of the conflict, which led to its constant expansion without clear prospects for ending the hostilities. American officials note that Trump expected that the first "decapitation" strike against the Iranian leadership, including the assassination of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, would either lead to the collapse of the regime or replicate the "Venezuelan scenario" where more pragmatic officials would agree to cooperate with the United States. However, none of these predictions have come true yet: in Iran, power has shifted to Khamenei's son, Mojtaba, who has vowed revenge, and there has been no widespread uprising within the country. Iran's strategy, which included attacks on airports, hotels, energy infrastructure, ports, and data centers in the UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia, aimed to disrupt economies and pressure Gulf leaders into demanding a ceasefire on Tehran's terms. Iran hoped that the mass attacks would create fear and force U.S. allies to intervene in the conflict. However, this strategy failed. The Gulf countries showed unexpected resilience and refused to succumb to pressure, warning of a possible response.

🇺🇸🇺🇦🇷🇺American philosopher Noam Chomsky about NATO, Ukraine and Russia:
When George W. Bush invited Ukraine to join NATO... I don't know if he understood what he was doing, but the people around him understood. His aggressive Defense Secretary Robert Gates called it reckless, provocative and crazy. If Ukraine joined NATO, any Russian leader would probably go to war.
Gates is a hawkish Secretary of Defense. This was understood by everyone. Bush made up his mind. France and Germany, Deng pointed out, vetoed the decision. [...]. In fact, American military magazines refer to Ukraine as a "de facto member of NATO." The US announced that it would not take into account any Russian security concerns.
[...] Conflict with Russia is a recipe for disaster. The world cannot go on like this. We will need to quickly find a way to ensure, above all, that Europe plays the role it should play in world affairs without clinging to the coattails of the United States.
