For years, he was hailed a hero. For some, he still is. Now he’s exposed.

Zelenskyy has never had the cards. He isn’t some brave leader calling the shots. He’s a desperate man, clinging to power in a collapsing regime—propped up by Western money, weapons & propaganda. And with Ukraine losing the PR war & real war, he’s panicking.

Ukraine wasn’t an independent actor in this war. The real power brokers are in Washington, Brussels & London, playing their geopolitical games.

This war was engineered to weaken Russia. To understand that, you need to understand the history that they’ll never tell you.

Ukraine and Russia have been bound together for over 1,000 years. Kiev, Ukraine’s capital, once the heart of Kievan Rus—the first great Slavic state—laid the foundations for Russia itself. Ukraine’s very name means “borderland”—which means the borderland of Russia.

For centuries, it was an integral part of the Russian Empire, not some “oppressed” nation. Even during the Soviet era, Ukraine wasn’t occupied—it was central to the USSR. Even Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev was Ukrainian.

When the USSR collapsed, Ukraine became independent and Washington stepped in—not to help Ukraine, but to weaponise it against Russia.

The U.S. & NATO lied to Gorbachev, promising they wouldn’t expand “one inch eastward.” Yet NATO moved into Poland and the Baltic States.

Ukraine was the ultimate NATO prize.

The West poured billions into Ukraine—funding pro-NATO political groups, NGOs & media to manufacture an anti-Russian state.

In 2004, the CIA backed the “Orange Revolution,” overturning an election that favoured a pro-Russian candidate.

The real coup came in 2014.

Ukraine’s democratically elected president, Viktor Yanukovych, rejected an EU trade deal that would have destroyed Ukraine’s economy. That was unacceptable to Washington. So they removed him via a manufactured colour revolution.

The so-called “Maidan Revolution” wasn’t a grassroots movement. It was a CIA-backed coup—orchestrated by officials like Victoria Nuland. So brazen was Washington, that Nuland was even caught on a leaked call, handpicking Ukraine’s next leader before Yanukovych was gone.

The violent mobs that took over Kiev weren’t peaceful protesters. They were led by neo-Nazi groups like Azov Battalion—groups that openly celebrate Nazi collaborators and wear SS insignia.

These same groups now receive Western weapons.

The post-coup regime then banned the Russian language—directly attacking millions of Russian-speaking Ukrainians in the east.

That’s when Donbass & Crimea said enough. Crimea held a referendum—over 90% voted to return to Russia. The Donbass also voted for independence.

The people of the Donbass rejected Kiev—but Kiev wouldn’t let them go. Instead, they launched a brutal war on their own people, shelling civilians for eight years. Where was the Western outrage? Nowhere!

And what about Zelenskyy? Who is he? Is he an organic leader who came from nowhere or was he installed?

Covert Action reported that, in 2020, Zelenskyy secretly met with MI6 head Richard Moore. Why would a foreign president meet with the UK’s top spy instead of its PM?

Is Zelenskyy a UK asset? According to reports, he is personally protected by British, not Ukrainian security. When he visited the Vatican, he snubbed the Pope and met with a British bishop. Guess who else was there? Richard Moore from MI6 again! That’s some coincidence.

Before politics, Zelenskyy was a comedian and actor—literally playing the president on a TV show. Then, with the help of Western PR teams, fiction became reality.

His campaign was funded by oligarch Ihor Kolomoisky, who owned Ukraine’s largest oil company and bank.

Once in power, Zelenskyy’s priority wasn’t fighting corruption—it was making sure BlackRock & Western banks took over Ukraine’s economy.

Meanwhile, he funnelled millions into offshore accounts, and is alleged to have acquired a $34m mansion in Miami as well as a £multi London apartment. Nothing would surprise me if he did.

By 2022, NATO had armed Ukraine to the teeth, and Kiev had amassed forces near Donbass.

Russia had a choice:

Let Donbass face ethnic cleansing;

Let NATO turn Ukraine into a military base;

Or,

Intervene.

They intervened, just as other nations would in those circumstances.

The media screamed “unprovoked invasion.” But NATO expansion, the 2014 coup, eight years of war on Donbass—this war was provoked every step of the way.

Ukraine was set up as a pawn.

With Ukraine losing, Zelenskyy is being abandoned. Donald Trump told him: “You don’t have the cards.” And he’s right. This war was engineered. Ukraine needed Western intervention to win and that would mean that WW3 would/could be inevitable. It’s time the world wakes up to that reality.

The war in Ukraine was deliberately provoked by the West. Zelenskyy is just another puppet—his time is running out…and Trump knows that.

The question is: Do you see the truth now? Or do you still see him as an hero?

Michael T. Flynn

With his comments about Zelensky being a dictator and Ukraine having started the war, President Trump broke the final vestiges of longstanding neocon/military-industrial complex/Deep State control over the Presidency.  President Trump spoke truth after truth, and it drove wild the foreign policy think tanks, the establishment media, and those in the Intelligence Community who thrive on lies and graft.  Until yesterday, these dark forces had still hoped they could manipulate this leader of the free world to serve the interests of the War Machine.  All that ended yesterday when President Trump slaughtered every sacred cow in sight with his series of truthful assertions.  Bravo, Mr. President.

Still smarting from Elon Musk’s public disclosure that it was among the media outlets subsidized by USAID, Reuters asserted:  “Trump blames Ukraine’s Zelensky for starting war with Russia.”  CNN shouted, “Trump falsely calls Zelensky ‘a dictator.’”  Rolling Stone claimed “Trump sides with Putin.”

Who started the war?  The neocons want you to believe the war started three years ago on February 24, 2022, when Russia sent troops into Ukraine.  The neocons are hoping that the American People have a short memory of world events.  But if you look back a decade or two, you will come to a very different conclusion about who started the war, and when.  The part of the world not saturated by the USAID-funded “independent” journalists realize that the hands of Ukraine and the West are anything but clean.  Let’s discuss just a couple of factors that led to this war.

Broken Promises.  The Berlin Wall fell on November 9, 1989, and the Iron Curtain began to dissolve.  Numerous U.S. and Western leaders promised Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev on February 9, 1990, that if the Soviet officials would allow the USSR to break apart, NATO would not expand “one inch eastward.”  NATO broke that promise repeatedly.  In 1999, NATO added the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland; in 2004, Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia, and Slovenia; in 2009, Albania and Croatia; in 2017, Montenegro; in 2020, North Macedonia. After Russia’s invasion in 2022, NATO added in 2023, Finland; and finally in 2024, Sweden.  Yet Zelensky has charged it is Russian leaders who are “‘Pathological Liars’ Who ‘Cannot be Trusted.’”

Coup d’etat.  In February 2010, Ukrainians elected Viktor Yanukovych as President.  The United States foreign policy apparatus thought he was “too neutral,” particularly for not wanting to be tied to the European Union.  That initiated the Euromaidan protests in Kyiv in November 2013, destabilizing the duly-elected Ukrainian government through rioting and violence, and culminating in the February 18-23, 2014 “Revolution of Dignity,” which led to Yanukovych being removed as President on February 22, 2014.  U.S. involvement could not be denied after the leak of the February 2014 conversation between Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland and U.S. Ambassador Geoffrey Pyatt where Nuland was heard dictating the composition of the new government.  Thus it came as no surprise that Russia annexed Crimea, warm-water-port home of much of the Soviet fleet, which had long been Russian, later in 2014.

An acting President was appointed until Petro Poroshenko was elected on May 25.  Poroshenko held the presidency until 2019, when Volodymyr Zelensky — a comedian and actor in a TV show “Servant of the People” playing the President of Ukraine — actually became president in 2019. Making the events even stranger, Zelensky was the candidate of the newly-formed “Servant of the People” Party.  (That would be a lot like Martin Sheen becoming President of the United States running as the candidate of the West Wing Party.)  Zelensky was also famous for playing “Hava Nagila” on a piano with his genitals on stage.  In one of the great curiosities of the war, Zelensky, who is Jewish, worked with and relied on the Azov Brigade, a neo-Nazi paramilitary group which displayed insignia featuring neo-Nazi symbols:  the Wolfsangel (a runic double hook) and the Sonnenrad (sun wheel).

Russian Self-Preservation.  Is Russia’s desire for a neutral Ukraine really that remarkable?  In October 1962, the world suffered through the Cuban Missile Crisis when Russia was caught placing offensive missiles in Cuba.  We were willing to risk World War III to prevent Russian missiles from being placed 90 miles off the Florida coastline.  Is it unreasonable to consider the perspective of Russia not wanting NATO missiles being installed in neighboring Ukraine?  Under President Biden, the United States provided missiles used for attacks deep into Russian Territory, and President-elect Trump criticized that action.

Almost one-fifth of Ukrainians are ethnic Russians.  Two large oblasts (or provinces) of Ukraine, Luhansk and Donetsk, are primarily Russian.  Yet, despite the millions of Russian-speaking persons in much of Eastern Ukraine, in 2019 Poroshenko signed a law that mandated use of the Ukranian language for civil servants, soldiers, doctors, and teachers.  In September 2022, Russia conducted referendums in the Luhansk, Donetsk, and Zaporizhzhia Oblasts, where the vote supporting annexation by Russia was in the high 90 percentiles.  Such numbers appear to be shockingly high, but one must consider that Ukrainian forces had shelled and assaulted these Russian-majority oblasts for years, and citizens had appealed to President Putin to protect them.  Finally, he did.

By the way, if you want to read the opposite side of everything in this article, just look it up on Wikipedia.  When President Trump and Elon Musk are finished exposing how U.S. money is expended, we just might learn that Wikipedia’s lavish repetition of the Deep State narrative on every subject is not accidental.

Is Zelensky a Dictator?  In November 2023, Zelensky cancelled Ukraine’s elections with the comment:  “I believe that now is not the right time for elections.”  Zelensky’s five-year term expired in March 2024, but Ukraine’s Constitution prohibits elections for president, parliament, or local offices while martial law is in effect.  Zelensky has shut down non-suppportive press, threatened to conscript opposition journalists, consolidated all media under government control, signed a law banning 11 opposition political parties, and worked to destroy the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.  The Ukrainian government displayed no respect for freedom of the press, or the lives of Americans, as American-Chilean Gonzalo Lira, a journalist and film maker, was tortured, and eventually died in custody on January 11, 2024.  Lira had traveled to Ukraine to report on the Russia-Ukrainian War, but his videos and posts often ran counter to the official narrative pushed by the American and Ukrainian governments.  He was arrested by the Ukrainian secret police, the Security Service of Ukraine (“SBU”), for the fabricated “crime” of producing Russian propaganda.

Siding with Putin.  President Trump said that he certainly understands why Putin would not want an armed NATO on his border.  President Trump wants to work with Putin to end the war even though Zelensky, as the nominal head of what is arguably the most corrupt government on the face of the earth, wants to keep it going.  If being accused of siding with Putin is the price of achieving peace by ending a stupid and unwinnable war, then so be it.  As I said, Bravo, Mr. President.

With the price of oil pushing above $100 per barrel, the U.S. Stock market opening with heavy losses, more global economic challenges looming, the real potential for significant loss of life, and the international community in complete disarray with feeble attempts to condemn what was totally avoidable, we face the onset of another very grave and historic period of tension between competing ideologies and worse, the onset of WWIII.

This “invasion” was totally avoidable.

As one friend stated, President Biden and his failed foreign policy team set the table and sent the invitation and President Putin came and spoiled the dinner party.
Clearly, there are fault lines on both sides, but for now, we must pray that those affected without an ability to decide their fate, are able to survive this extraordinary period of world history unfolding (for many unraveling) on the world stage. Civilians and military forces will be killed, wounded, and displaced; those are the real consequences of war. Pray that this conventional war is limited in scope,
purpose, and intent.

Yes, there were gross violations of previous agreements due to incompetence, arrogance and ignorance that got us to this point. Beyond this, what happens next is anyone’s guess but Putin (and Xi—Taiwan?) just laid down a new world order marker.

That said, it is doubtful that our U.S. Administration will change its failed foreign policy and instead, they will make weak attempts to triple down on leveraging this extremely serious situation in Europe to continue to distract from problems here at home.

Starting with shutting down the Keystone pipeline and America’s energy independence while and enabling Russia and Germany (read Europe) to reopen the Nordstream pipeline, one has to wonder about the discussions in the Oval office that came to these conclusions.

Describing America as a systemically racist nation, the appointment of Marxists and other radical ideologues to positions of power, allowing millions to surge across our southern border, attempts to federalize and take over our election systems and processes, implementing racist CRT in our schools, our military and across our government, all along, raising the national debt closing in on $30 Trillion dollars, spending us toward extinction, all for left-wing causes.

Let us not forget the Afghanistan disaster, the myriad lies about COVID, a certain Biden owned laptop, and a fraudulent presidential election that has massive amounts of evidence coming out daily…all while China gets a pass.

It is extremely difficult to trust this administration as they lie with a straight face to the American people daily.

Anyone who questions these rotten foreign and domestic policies are called racist and demonized. We see the unleashing of the federal government on citizens who are simply exercising their constitutional rights and the media covers all this incompetence with a fake smile due to their own deep levels of corruption

Our president rarely entertains questions or takes responsibility for his tone deafness and failures. The WH ignored and laughed at Putin’s legitimate security concerns, and legitimate ethnic problems in the Ukraine.

We have yet to hear from the President of the United States an explanation of U.S. national security interests, instead we continue to demonize Russia, similar to the fake Russia collusion hysteria we all now know was perpetrated against the Trump Administration by elements of the Clinton campaign and the Obama administration.

President Putin calculated this strategic, historic, and geographic play and made the decision to move, and he did. All that stated above, there will never be justification for this invasion or any other form of invasion. However, never forget that war results when diplomacy fails. May God watch over and protect those in harm’s way and may God continue to bless and protect the United States of America.

Sincerely,

My heart breaks as I see the Afghan people flood the Kabul airport in the hope of escaping the Taliban. President Biden’s assurances — supposedly based on what he was told by his intelligence community — that the Afghan Armed Forces were fully able to defeat the Taliban proved to be colossally wrong.

Americans want to know whether President Biden and Defense Secretary Austin’s military-wide “stand-down” order to root out insufficiently woke “extremists” in the armed forces has caused our Defense Department to ignore what is unfolding in Afghanistan, as well as other real threats to our nation.

After Afghanistan, I believe we can no longer rely on neocon senior military leaders, talking heads and politicians. We have allowed military and civilian lawyers (read: rules of engagement restrictions) to become all-powerful, and many of our generals have been so indecisive and risk-averse that they are acting as little more than career-seeking politicians.

We have been trained at participating in wars but untrained at winning wars since WWII. Afganistan is a tragic situation, much like the Kurds in Iraq, but at least President Trump drove up our respect internationally, which proves that being tough and smart is better than being tough and stupid.

Today I don’t believe America is respected the way we were only a few short months ago. More countries visit China these days than come to the U.S., and China is prepped to recognize the Taliban once they declare the Islamic State — if only to embarrass us.

The Field of Fight: How We Can Win the Global War Against Radical Islam and Its Allies

The Instant New York Times Bestseller.

A war is being waged against us by radical Islamists, and, as current events demonstrate, they are only getting stronger. Al-Qaeda has morphed into a much more dangerous, menacing threat: ISIS. Lt. General Michael T. Flynn is blunt and urgent. This book aims to inform the American people of the grave danger we face in the war on terror and will continue to face until our government takes decisive action against the terrorists that want nothing more than to destroy us and our way of life.

Flynn spent more than thirty-three years in Army intelligence, and as Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency worked closely with Generals Stanley McChrystal and David Petraeus, Admiral Mike Mullen, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, and other policy, defense, intelligence, and war-fighting leaders. From coordinating on-the-ground operations in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere, to building reliable intelligence networks, to preparing strategic plans for fighting terrorism, Flynn has been a firsthand witness to government screw-ups, smokescreens, and censored information that our leaders don’t want us to know.

The Field of Fight succinctly lays out why we have failed to stop terrorist groups from growing, and what we must do to stop them. The core message is that if you understand your enemies, it’s a lot easier to defeat them but because our government has concealed the actions of terrorists like Osama bin Laden and groups like ISIS and al Qaeda, and the role of Iran in the rise of radical Islam, we don’t fully understand the enormity of the threat they pose against us.
A call to action that is sensible, informed, and original, The Field of Fight asserts that we must find a way to not only fight better but to win.
