Thank you for responding back - I’m surprised and appreciate it!
Agree with you on the potential security agreements with Russia - in fact, this is exactly what President Putin offered back in 2021 November / December (one was sent to NATO and the other to the USA directly. Both have been dismissed (quite foolishly IMHO).
OTOH, I just can’t see how Russia would trust the west again to the extent to be lured away from China, and especially from BRICS, whose framework is lead by Russia (and China). I think it would be very damaging to Russia’s credibility.
But never say never, and you are not the first one to float this theory. Time will tell.
Thanks again for responding back. I cannot imagine how busy you must be writing and going through readers’ comments.
Trust must be earned but the very fact that a new US leader like Trump would be willing to end the war in Ukraine on fair terms to Russia while also signing a mutual security agreement with Russia would be evidence enough that US leaders are committed to a new era of friendly relations with Russia.

Another brilliant piece of writing that needs to be disseminated to the sleeping masses.
The United States of America is headed for a devastating nuclear attack on the mainland during the last trump administration.
President Trump will try to avert a war with the Russian Federation but will be unsuccessful. Daniel 8:5-8. The Biden administration has already escalated World War III to the point of no return. The globalists have deliberately pushed the Russian Federation into the arms of the CCP. They have chosen the CCP as their instrument to run their Novus Ordo Seclorum. Revelation 13:1-3.
President Trump along with Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu will take out Iran's nuclear plants and that action will lead to a massive rocket attack on the state of Israel in Isaiah 17:4 which will lead to a devastating nuclear strike from Bibi Netanyahu on the city of Damascus in Isaiah 17:1-3, Jeremiah 49:23-27, Revelation 6:1-2.
The peace will be short lived, because the Russian Federation along with the CCP will retaliate in Revelation 6:3-4, Isaiah 18:1, Revelation 18:9-24.
Both President Trump and President Putin will have been on the world stage 28 years in 2028.
The Biblical character Jehu the parallel to President Donald J.Trump was on the world stage for 28 years.
President Trump has repeatedly warned of World War III over fifty times.
Yes President Trump has been at the forefront of trying to avert World War Three with Russia even offering to serve as a Special Envoy for Russia and Ukraine to lead a US delegation to negotiate a compromise peace agreement ending the war.
The goading of Ukraine by Boris Johnson & Biden is reminiscent of the very same type of hard-line stance Britain & France enthusiastically encouraged Poland to adopt vis-a-vis Germany in 1939 over the Danzig Corridor. A war could possibly have been averted but Poland - convinced Britain & France had their back, which they didn’t - took a very belligerent stance.
Yes indeed. The historical compatisons between this war and both world wars are many. Ukraine is playing the part of Serbia and Poland and blindly leading the US and NATO into an unnecvessry nuclear world war.
Amazing how the author has a sort of decent history on Russian response to US overreach, but then ignores the perils of overreach and argues we should push against a China... ...which has always been a regional power and has never in thousands of years attempted to be global hegemon.
I just re-read this after your summary of the TC-Putin interview; which was very thorough.
I don’t think that the solution you outline here is feasible now. RU has lost all trust in the west - why would they abandon their alliance with China? The USA is still a great power that can cause serious damage against China, RU, Iran, NK (although most likely at a huge cost to itself), but probably nothing like a decisive victory. For what it’s worth, we cannot even deter the Houthis; much less defeat them.
As admitted by USA and nato, we cannot even manufacture the necessary quantity of ammo that’s needed (unlike RU). Our economy has transferred from a manufacturing industry to a financialized industry. Can’t wage serious wars like that. Especially against China; with whom we just happen to have $450 bn trade imbalance. Our economy can’t handle it.
Also, if RU abandoned the BRICS project, it would be a major loss of their reputation and would destroy trust in Russia. And why would they abandon it when it is actually gaining traction?
IMHO, the train has left the station. It isn’t just a RU-China alliance anymore. It is RU-China-Iran-NK, and to some degree Venezuela (not too significant; yet).
Considering our debt, soon the USA simply won’t be able to afford this military posturing. With the EU economy going down, what could the west possibly offer to RU to even consider “switching”?
I just don’t see anything that would be a significant incentive for RU to abandon its current course.
It is in the Russian national interest to sign mutual security agreements with both the US and China to secure both of its flanks so that it has no more enemies. I am not asking Russia to abandon its bilateral alliance agreement with the PRC. I am saying that if we signed Russia's draft mutual security agreement, it would benefit both sides. I think we could offer Russia more security than China could including high tech and a sphere of influence in Central Asia which China is not willing to grant them. So I think its realistic that if we did all that and resumed western investments in Russia, that we could get them to leave BRICS and join a Western-led trade bloc instead while maintaining good relations with Beijing and not being allied with the US against them.

This is not a coincidence!

We all know the result.
Yes indeed. The historical compatisons between this war and both world wars are many. Ukraine is playing the part of Serbia and Poland and blindly leading the US and NATO into an unnecvessry nuclear world war.
And our “elites” are just as bad - arguably worse - than those in 1914.
Amazing how the author has a sort of decent history on Russian response to US overreach, but then ignores the perils of overreach and argues we should push against a China... ...which has always been a regional power and has never in thousands of years attempted to be global hegemon.
