Golden TOILET for Trump Peace Plan HATERS — special presidential envoy

The empire handed them the corpse of Ukraine, and Europe said “thank you.” Not a formal protest. Just one word, mitigate. After Nord Stream, after millions displaced, after deindustrializing their own people, they’re too spineless to even tell Trump “no.” This is a funeral procession for the EU led by cowards.

This peace plan, Trump’s plan, is a circus. But like all good circuses, it serves a purpose, misdirection while the real act unfolds elsewhere. Washington is done with Ukraine. The full pivot to China has already begun. All that’s left is to offload the rotting carcass of this failed proxy war onto Europe and let London and the EU keep pretending they matter.

And predictably, pathetically, they accept the burden like the obedient functionaries they’ve become. No strategy. No sovereignty. Just a trained reflex to obey and "mitigate." Not our word.. straight from Politico.

Yes, mitigate. That was the word Europe’s elite settled on, not resist, not oppose, not challenge. Mitigate. It’s a word that belongs in law textbooks, not geopolitics. It’s the vocabulary of a bureaucracy managing its own decline. A continent that once set the world’s course now asks how politely it can adjust the margins of its own surrender.

They huddle in Johannesburg, issuing statements of “concern,” while Trump spits in their faces with deadlines and ultimatums. We love it. And they call that diplomacy. They smile while he wipes the floor with their dignity. And the truth is: they earned it. Every humiliating second of it.

Because this is the same Europe that stayed silent while Nord Stream was blown up — the single most strategic infrastructure in modern Germany and then thanked their attacker with new LNG contracts and cheerful subservience. This is the same Europe that sacrificed its own middle class on the altar of “standing with Kiev,” only to now whimper about budget shortfalls and “sustainable aid packages.” So desperate is their plight, they'll risk what remains of their financial order to steal Russian soverign assets.

Trump’s deal has at least a few points Russia would never accept and everyone in the room knows it. But Moscow won’t kill it. That’s not the move. Russia will let Zelensky and the Europeans do it... publicly, predictably, and fatally.

Because that’s the brilliance here:
Putin says it’s “a good foundation.” Not perfect. Not final. But a foundation. That single word shifts the burden.

Now the ones rejecting peace while demanding at seat at Putin's table, will be the same ones who screamed “no negotiations” for four bloody years. Now the ones sabotaging diplomacy, will be the same ones demanding “rules-based order.”

Russia walks away looking like the mature Great Power that she is. Europe walks away exposed, not just as losers, but as frauds.

Ukraine was sacrificed and not by Moscow, but by the Atlanticist elite. Sacrificed for a fantasy. Sacrificed to “weaken Russia.”
Sacrificed to delay a multipolar future that’s already here.

And who led that sacrifice?
London. The chaos agent. The midwife of every modern disaster in Eastern Europe. It was Downing Street that sabotaged Istanbul. It was MI6 that helped birth “Spiderweb.” It was Britain that told Zelensky to fight to the last Ukrainian, and the EU cheered like trained seals.

This is not the return of diplomacy. Although the US and Russia are talking which is good. But this is ultimately, the redistribution of failure.

And now that failure is being handed back to Europe, like a flaming briefcase no one wants to open. Trump doesn’t care if the plan fails. That’s the beauty of it. He gets the headlines for “seeking peace.” He gets to say, “I tried.” And he gets to walk away while Europe owns the war, the debt, the inevitable escalation sans article 5, the migrants, the funerals, the shame.

Let them mitigate. Let them manage their own irrelevance and humiliation. Let them carry the ghost of a war they helped unleash.

Russia will outlast them all.
