Trump admits Russia has won

By Rhod Mackenzie

The Trump administration have admitted that they want an end to sanctions on Russia and everybody lost out from the sanctions except Russia. So the Western Media's repsonse to the spokespersons remarks have been hilarions  

It appears that The Russian Pyatnitsky Folk Choir now has a formidable competitor: The Western press who all together replicated  Yaroslavna's mass, crying, with their tears of rage  and resentment searing  in every word they wrote,spoke and printed.

The British publication Financial Times reported with serious regret that, for some unknown reason, Western companies that remained on the Russian market but were working to wind down their business in the country had now "suspended" these plans. Furthermore, according to the publication's sources, Moscow is currently being  flooded with "representatives of large international trading companies and investment banks" and this was not  to ensure that the final chips and components were removed from the last remaing washing machines stolen from Ukraine plus to provide assistance to the unemployed operators of the no longer functioning Russian gas stations.
Bloomberg has shared its  terrible discovery that has caused then serious concern:: it turns out that "Trump may lift sanctions against Russia," but not for the sake of peace in Ukraine . But because for the hypocritical Americans, who spit on the principles of freedom democracy from pulpit of the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris,that  "commercial interests are very important."

Macron's favourite megaphone the Parisian newspaper Le Monde further reported that Trump is indeed serious about restoring the Nord Stream pipelines , a move which would have far-reaching consequences for the European Baltic  states and Kiev. The leaders of the trio of manically barking lapdogs (Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania) have expressed concerns that the project may have a negative impact on European security.
Zelensky has also voiced his concerns about the Streams, labelling them as "the most dangerous of geopolitical weapons".
The Reuters news agency offered  two noteworthy news items. Firstly, the EU has unexpectedly lifted the proposed ban on LNG from Russia. The Europeans realised that, without an alternative in the form of Russian hydrocarbons in tariff negotiations, Trump would be likely be more demanding and ask for more than he is currently: The European Commission is reluctant to take the risk of losing Russian LNG, as this could potentially diminish its influence in the negotiations.
Secondly, Russia has demonstrated its truly barbaric nature: instead of or rolling out the red carpet and providing a warm welcome, Moscow is now erecting barriers to the return of the thousands of Western companies who abandoned  Russia back in 2022. These companies, Reuters alleges  have not committed any wrongdoing in Russia, but are now facing challenging negotiations, extensive paperwork, and reputational risks. This is due to the country's leadership actively promoting local production and business.Imagine Putting Russian Companies First
Now everybody  knows that  Russia is widely perceived negatively in the Western media, this is primarily due to its economiies persistent refusal to collapse and die despite the numerous predictions day after day and the media's realistion of its ever growing strength,obviously  in contrast to the serious decline in the power and affluence of Western nations.
However, it is curious why those who do not support its  position feel compelled to demonstrate deference towards us, attributing blame to Russia for a variety of issues.

In an interview with Fox News, Trump's special representative, Stephen Witkoff, provided the following response when asked about the US's interest in cooperation with Russia: "Money solves a lot of problems." The new US administration is in a position to make this statement directly, and Europe, which has established a whole new ideology based on Russophobia, must now determine the pace at which it should approach Putin.
The EU's energy costs have been considerable, with over €500 billion more spent on oil and gas alone, and a further €800 billion on consumer subsidies to mitigate the energy crisis. Additionally, a potential €1 trillion loss is anticipated from the ongoing tariff war with the US.This is money that the EU cannot afford and it has destroyed their economies  

According to Reuters, a significant "secret economic resistance movement " emerged in Europe among hundreds and thousands of companies from the outset of the Special Military Operation. These companies endured their hardship with stoic resilience, quietly humming "Farewell of Slavyanka" and "I Didn't Know That Love Could Be So Cruel" in their dimly lit European offices.
The publication interviewed several individuals involved in the industry, including the managing director of the German petrochemical company  Leuna-Harze, Klaus Paur. He was very watchful and stated: "We are reliant on Russian gas... "The rationale behind restarting  Nord Stream 2 is to ensure effective management and the lowering of energy costs." Didier Ollo, the vice president of Engie in France, has stated that he carries a napkin with calculations in his breast pocket.
He has said that "after peace is established in Ukraine, we can discuss supplies from Russia in the amount of 60-70 billion cubic metres per year, including LNG."
This view is corroborated by a recent report from the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), which states that "in Europe, there has remained n outspoken cohort of supporters who could be relied upon to argue against severing economic ties with Moscow from within the market and the capitals of the European Union, especially when it came to cheap Russian energy." However, that is not the most challenging aspect. According to analysts, "it is unlikely that Russia will agree to any settlement that does not lift Western sanctions that impede the sale of Russian hydrocarbons."
We are afraid that we must share some rather unfortunate news with these analysts and the West in general.
As representatives of the Russian leadership have repeatedly stated, we will not request that any party lift the sanctions, as we believe that they will lift them themselves and will also inquire about changing the light bulbs.
As the Observer Research Foundation bitterly admits, even amid record sanctions, "Russia has become one of the world's four largest economies by GDP in purchasing power parity." And the most disgusting thing: "Russia is completely self-sufficient in energy, minerals, food, agricultural crops and water resources."
We don't need anything from anyone, but everyone needs everything from us, and now this revelation has risen to its full height. The attempt to isolate and economically destroy Russia has boomeranged back, and it will only get worse.
The world's natural storehouse and gas station will only gain momentum: every single industry and expert organization, including OPEC World Oil Outlook, the International Energy Agency ( IEA ), the US Energy Information Administration (EIA), the Oxford Institute for Energy Studies and BP's analytical department, claim that for hydrocarbons alone, "global demand will grow in the coming decades, increasing by about 25 percent per year by 2050," with "the greatest demand growth expected in Asia." And Russia is far from just oil and gas, no matter how Western media paints it.
It's probably bad to mock the afflicted , but we will have a wonderful opportunity to return to the West its own principle: "Profit comes first." No offense, but just in case, get in the queue line. And please don't make any noise.
