NATO has the Donbass primed to spoil Russia’s World Cup, but Putin made some remarks that caused poor Petro Poroshenko to call and discuss whether Ukraine would even exist if his neo-nazi battle order dare spoil President Putin’s party:

So, if Poroshenko won’t play the dirty deed for his western masters, plan B just might be the CIA’s al-Qaida buddies (or in the alternative, moderate rebels™) will spill some chlorine in Syria, the Oscar winning (al-Qaida medics) White Helmets will shout (via Bellingcat, the dead cat’s propaganda factory) “Assad did it!” and the USA will be stupid enough to oblige with ‘humanitarian violence’ (missiles & bombs) with the propaganda pointed at the ‘evil’ Putin’s support for Syria:

Meanwhile following an excellent opening ceremony that was flawless but for Robbie Williams’ inexplicable middle finger to the camera, the resurgent kulaks sent the head-choppers packing 5-0:

Moving on, the joke question: ‘How do you know Trump is an idiot?’ The joke answer: ‘Because he wanted to be president.’ The sabotage of Trump’s detente with Kim begins with a propaganda barrage, read it here:

How is that? Shadow President Pence (every official surrounding Trump seems to be a Pence aligned right-wing hard-ass), Pompeo, Mattis and Bolton, all of them, will demand Kim play strip poker with a deck stacked by the USA:

The likes of Pompeo, Mattis and Bolton arranging to provide ‘security guarantees’ for North Korea, is kind of like arranging to give Count Dracula keys to safeguard the blood bank. This thing is going to go downhill fairly fast, methinks. What might actually work? Stop pushing the war games in North Korea’s face (a primary cause of every previous failed agreement with the north) PERMANENTLY, lift the sanctions, ask China and Russia to certify the North’s denuclearization and when completed, keep a promise that delivers North Korea a peace treaty. Of course that wouldn’t suit the USA’s high end weapons producers (or Trump Chief of Staff General John Kelly’s numerous retired peers sitting on military-industrial corporate boards), and for that very reason, it likely doesn’t suit Pence, Pompeo, Mattis and Bolton and it is this Wall Street bottom line is what stands in the way of a permanent peace:
