It’s starting to reach storm strength for Zelensky now as his inner circle gets caught in the GRU operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Russia is experts at this, they identify contradictions, amplify them, and use the situation as a political weapon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These days, a lot is starting to come out about their involvement in BREXIT, which a certain Johan No.1 has mentioned more than once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We are not quite there in the debate climate yet, but they were also behind 2015, which conveniently set the stage for BREXIT in 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UK was one of the most sensible countries in the EU and the country Sweden most often voted with – a big win to get rid of from the EU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back to Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The countermove is definitely planned, not least the leaked call, and raise your hand if you have seen Trump\/USA act on Witkoff’s betrayal?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not that – doesn’t that mean that Trump\/USA are fully aware and okay with this situation – probably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next piece of information that has started to circulate is how Trump’s inner circle all benefit from this situation with Russia, and it may be as simple as Russia offering more money to individuals than they would get elsewhere?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Or this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Because it’s hard to see why the USA would benefit from choosing Russia over Europe – a huge market and trading partner versus a glorified gas station run by a criminal clan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US domestic politics are for the US only and nothing we need to cry over, but the Ukraine war and Russia are our own security and something we simply must dare to address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though there have been suggestions that perhaps Trump’s task is to plunge the US into domestic chaos…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another thought is that when it comes to bribery and the size of bribes, China is 10 times better at it than Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have reached the point where Europe has now turned against the USA and openly started discussing the tough issues, but we still have a long way to go before we reach the goal of, for example, reducing the Baltic Fleet or something else fun that would make Russia retract its claws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And this corruption scandal + the situation at the fronts is something the citizens of Ukraine must deal with today on December 1, 2025, not in six months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you remember previous posts, I have often emphasized that the longer this war continues, the greater the risk that Ukraine will be plunged into chaos and collapse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the fronts, it seems that the offensive strategic reserve and tactical adaptation from a few months ago have paid off – they manage to hold their ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ukraine retaliates well with strategic drones and robot weapons, but so does RU, and they also hit their targets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It would be sad if my worst-case scenario were to come true, that Ukraine collapses under the pressure for a very simple reason – then Europe is left without a plan and with the entire future problem in its lap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first step to eradicating the glorified gas station and paving over the crap has already been taken – the USA has been scrutinized, which we should have done back in 2022 but didn’t. Better late than never, as the officers in basic training used to say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the USA to pretend like nothing is wrong when they have everything except being our most important ally is a clear sign that Europe must break free – and it seems that Macron and Merz have done so together with northern Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a bit of luck, no one will be fooled when Trump soon backtracks again because it’s a wicked war tactic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second step is to ensure that Ukraine can hold out, and we are definitely not there yet because Ukraine is now in the midst of its biggest crisis since 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yermak et al are close to Zelensky, and the GRU operation now rolled out with Trump’s help is clever – they have infiltrated the anti-corruption agency and magnified an existing problem that they are now politicizing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1, 2, 3… soon the “independent” anti-corruption agency will present evidence that Zelensky is also corrupt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you think is among the worst if you sacrifice your life in a freezing wet trench in eastern Ukraine – perhaps that your leaders steal millions and live like gods at your expense. When your children barely have food and your wife’s wallet is empty, your leaders’ children are sitting on the Riviera eating outrageously expensive truffle burgers and driving nothing cheaper than a Bugatti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because that’s how it’s being sold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It doesn’t matter what is true, what matters is what sticks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Look at our politicians, and everyone should understand that no one is perfect, but nothing will improve if we politically pull the rug out from under Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because that’s the result if Zelensky falls – the cohesive glue disappears, and then it’s a full-on fight on the mat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ukraine is also beginning to lean towards a ceasefire as not the worst option for them as a country, and they are probably right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For over 4 years, the USA and Europe have effectively prevented Ukraine from winning and with all the pressure we have exerted, ensured that this has happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If things have gone too well, the USA and\/or Europe have leaked to Putin so he can counter in time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because you didn’t think Witkoff was the first time there was double-dealing with Putin, did you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, we have managed to expose the troll USA, and we must assume that Europe wants what is right but has been wrapped in a bacon layer of Russian influence, incompetent politicians, and US dominance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump has now done what he shouldn’t – unanimously recognized Crimea and Donbass as Russian. Yes, so far just a rumor, and since it leaked, maybe he will backtrack, but he is well on his way to changing the world order we have had since 1945 in one fell swoop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The EU has managed to vote on very harsh points directed at Russia – I am surprised and overjoyed that they managed to come up with this list and vote it through, almost moved to the point that in a fit of emotion, I open a tall can of Mariestad and mix up a jar of ranch dip for the chips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In a broader perspective beyond barbecue chips, Europe has now begun the path towards war, we have risen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The starting line is critical because if Ukraine cannot hold out, then we will sit back down, the air will go out of us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The offensive strategic reserve will fight to the last man even if the rest of the army is in varying condition and motivation – but this mobile force will be able to hold out for a while longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then it remains for the GRU not to succeed politically in toppling Ukraine with Trump’s help, which they are very good at, and then that many countries have gone that route throughout history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GRU has been on Zelensky’s side in this war, and they all have better units with them, but a full popular uprising is never easy to handle – perhaps manageable even if it doesn’t look pretty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Europe has only one way forward – support Ukraine in its current state all the way to the end and do not betray them again, do not hold a NATO meeting in 2023, whatever you do.<\/p>\n\n\n

There are many obstacles on this chosen path of ours – the USA and Trump will come down harder on us, and China will complicate our production by stopping critical raw materials we need. We have said it many times, a car that is 99.9% complete is not sold, and that remaining 0.1% is what China is holding back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, today in December 2025, it is time for all citizens of Europe to ask the question – how do we want to live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do we want to live under Russian, American, or Chinese domination, or is a free EU better?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are where we are today because millions of men, women, and all other gender identities that are currently up for discussion have fought for it and often paid the highest price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout history, great empires have fallen and new countries have emerged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The EU is not perfect, but it is the least bad option I can see among the choices we have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the EU can only do the right thing and turn towards Africa with fair trade agreements, push China and Russia away from there, and otherwise set up a barrier against these two rogue states, then the bright future will be ours. Not a visa for a Russian or Chinese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We won’t need their bribes because we will enter an era of unimaginable prosperity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The USA has lost Canada, which has joined us, we should stay away from South America, extend open (fair) hands to Africa, and be loyal to our allies in Asia – Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, and Taiwan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Europe has a lot to offer to Australia, which should already have been one large military base, something I never understand why they are not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can handle China as a peripheral war, but we MUST solve the problem child Russia, there is no shortcut there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has been a long time since I have been positive-positive, but now I think that Europe’s recent decisions allow us to be so, provided that we do not take a huge step back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don’t see that happening, but instead believe that politically it will only become easier to do the right thing in Europe in the future – we have somewhat lined up under the EU flag with bullet holes and a few bloodstains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But yes, the most important months of war, as someone usually says, are just not at all as he imagined right now, but let’s hope that Europe communicates the change in direction clearly enough to Ukraine because what they need more than anything is hope and a belief in the future, even if they have shown resilience beyond what could be expected even for a Ukrainian.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
