The Big Three 2.0
Not since Yalta have three men had such unilateral, world shaping power concentrated within their individual hands.
Putin, Xi and Trump are the elder statesmen of the world and are recognized as wielding tremendous amounts of power to determine their country’s foreign policy as well as that of their spheres of influence.
For Russian and Chinese leaders, having the arbitrary authority to set foreign policy is not uncommon. In the U.S., this is very rare.
Donald Trump is known, respected and, for the most part, trusted by Xi and Putin. Trump has a broad mandate at home for his peacemaking. Biden, the neolibs and neocon globalists so screwed it up, Trump can’t help but be supported by everyone wanting to avoid WWIII. Trump is playing with Biden, Dem and neocon money!
How comprehensively can these men “linkage” up Ukraine, the Korean Peninsula, Iran, Taiwan, Greenland and a new Euro/Russian security arrangement?
Think about it. Trump could kill NATO tomorrow and his popularity would increase. No other president would have gotten away with that.
How bold will Trump be? No swampers to gum up the works this time. Hegseth and Rubio are yes men. Trump is calling all the shots and since Butler is on a mission from God.

Peace and love?
Or laying down the law?
NATO should become an European alliance.
They have different interests.
For a time, we had the same interests. But that's only due to the Cold War.
Now that the Cold War has ended, there's no reason for us to be in NATO.
Laying down the law with a smile.
Putin and Xi knew who Biden was. He was a senile old puppet.
They also know who Trump is and what he is capable of.
Ought to be interesting to see what comes out of all this.
Both! He’s at master at it!
The biggest thing in the world’s favor is the fact that all three are legacy whores.
No summit needed, you can do that right now, President Trump.

Oh the Neocons are getting really bent! No more $$$ Billions to the corrupted US arms industry, say it ain’t so!
Go Trump!
China still oews the US Reperations for killing 1 Million Americans.
He only has four years. China would have to do a big about face.
The Russians are generations ahead of us in weapons that count. Specifically in deployed IRBMs, Oreshik and Air Defense, S500. We have no counter to these weapons. There’s speculation that the S500 is effective against our aged ICBMs.
We have a vast superiority in numbers of obsolete and failed systems. ALL aircraft carrier battle groups are worthless dinosaur targets against Russia, Iran or China.
Look at the money spent by Russia to develop and deploy these systems, pull off the greatest mobilization since WWII and to humiliate NATO’s obsolete trillion MIC junk thoroughly in Ukraine.
Forget the popcorn when they D.O.G.E. DoD. Get a bottle of Jack Daniels for this one.
Bad idea.
Deceptive graph. Military spending is usually a percentage of the countries GDP.
In 2023 US military spending as a percentage of GDP is 3.38 percent vs Russia at 6.3 percent.
New analysis from the United Kingdom’s International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) found that Moscow’s military expenditure spiked by over 40 percent to almost $146 billion in the past year, equivalent to 6.7 percent GDP, and is on track to hit 7.5 percent GDP in 2025.

LOL, good one. Russians have numbers, but superiority in quality? No. Their vaunted "air defense" is unable to stop Ukrainian kamikaze light aircraft.
Russians pulled everything out of Crimea, unable to stop US 1960's built ATACMS.
Russians begging for North Korean artillery shells and North Korean soldiers show Russian humiliation.
Is that “Five O’Clock Charlie”?
Oh the democrats will squeal like stuck pigs when this happens. It will be the end of the world. They will say Trump is colluding with commies.
And it wasn’t that long ago the democrats were CHEERING for Gorbechev and slamming Reagan for meeting with him. Rush coined the phrase “Gorbasms.”
In 2022 the Russians spent $71Billion on defense. They currently have a national debt of $300Billion
In 2022 we spent $800Billion with a current debt of $36TRILLION!
NATO total in 2022 $1.3 Trillion spent.
Lots and lots of bloated MIC profits, graft and fraud.
If you haven’t seen “Seven Days in May”, do yourself a favor.
From Wikipedia
Seven Days in May is a 1964 American political thriller film about a military-political cabal’s planned takeover of the United States government in reaction to the president’s negotiation of a disarmament treaty with the Soviet Union. The film, starring Burt Lancaster, Kirk Douglas, Fredric March, and Ava Gardner, was directed by John Frankenheimer from a screenplay written by Rod Serling and based on the novel of the same name by Fletcher Knebel and Charles W. Bailey II,

President Trump is currently announcing closer ties with India, which will put the screws to Red China.
Trump is trying to undo the damage done by the dementia patient. Trump is trying to undercut BRICS by demonstrating that it is no longer needed. Like NATO
