Trump’s Ukraine Ultimatum: Surrender or Lose America
Putin didn’t ask Trump for Ukraine. He reminded him who really owns the Epstein files.
Last night Lev Parnas joined Joy Reid and me for an explosive, source-driven update that ties together Trump’s sudden “28-point peace plan,” Russian oligarch money, Jared Kushner’s billion-dollar paydays, Steve Witkoff, Kirill Dmitriev, Starlink threats, and the still-sealed Epstein files.
They’re parts of the same factory, one designed to take working-class grievance, churn it into outrage, and feed it back as loyalty to an elite political project.
Marjorie Taylor Greene just found out what happens when that machine decides you’re no longer useful.
The International Crisis – What’s Happening on the Ground Right Now
The “peace plan” is a Moscow-drafted surrender document Zelensky just rejected it in a 10-minute video, declaring Ukraine faces “a choice between losing our dignity and freedom and losing U.S. support. We choose dignity.”
The ultimatum delivered to Zelensky is savage U.S. generals told him in person: accept or we immediately cut off all intelligence sharing, all communication support, and (sources believe) Elon Musk’s Starlink network. Ammunition shipments were already stopped months ago—this is the final kill switch.
Putin’s lifelong mission is a new Soviet empire run by oligarchs Born in the dying KGB, he turned spies into billionaires who buy the world’s resources and politicians. Ukraine is the strategic and symbolic keystone—Europe’s breadbasket, massive minerals and gas, and the land bridge to NATO. He will not stop there.
This is about building a new global oil cartel under a “drill baby drill” banner Kushner–Witkoff–Dmitriev–MBS are quietly stitching together Russia + Saudi Arabia + Venezuela + U.S. shale. Venezuela is suddenly in play because its reserves may now surpass Saudi Arabia’s. Trillions are on the table.
The same petro-states just gutted the climate summit in Brazil After an all-night session in Belém, the COP30 agreement was finally passed – but only after Saudi Arabia, China, and their allies blocked any binding phase-out of fossil fuels. The new “accelerator” for climate action is 100 % voluntary, rich nations’ climate-aid to vulnerable countries will merely triple (instead of the tenfold increase scientists demanded), and deforestation targets were watered down. The oil cartel isn’t just forming in back rooms – it’s now openly dictating humanity’s future.
The Domestic Blackmail – Why Trump Is Folding Like a Cheap Suit
Putin is personally “putting the hammer” on Trump Parnas: “He’s not doing this because he likes Putin. Putin is squeezing him with years of accumulated kompromat—financial, business, and much darker material tied to Jeffrey Epstein.”
The Epstein files are the real nuclear button They allegedly document not just sexual crimes, but a full Russian/Eastern-European influence pipeline that used oligarch-supplied women (many FSB-linked) as intelligence assets. Full release would expose decades of penetration at the highest levels of American power.
It all leads back to the Epstein files Two Achilles heels for Trump: the economy and total exposure of that network. The transnational billionaire class will forgive almost anything except the full money-and-kompromat trail going public.
Marjorie Taylor Greene’s shock resignation exposes the MAGA machine’s cracks In a stunning Friday-night video, the former Trump loyalist announced she’s quitting Congress effective January 5, 2026, after breaking with him over Epstein transparency, endless wars, and policies crushing her own district.
Greene as the populist prop pushed offstage She was the perfect avatar of post-Obama reactionary rage—space lasers, culture-war red meat—until she started talking about Palestine, wealth inequality, and healthcare costs. The machine discarded her the moment she threatened the plutocratic brand.
The symbolism is brutal Her exit is the GOP collapsing under the weight of its own design: feed the base racial grievance and masculine fury, then funnel their money upward while dismantling every ladder that once built a middle class.
“System crash” erases ICE abuse footage—exactly when it was needed most
One day after immigrants sued over brutality at Chicago-area Broadview ICE facility, the government informed the court a “system crash” wiped two weeks of surveillance video—including the exact window of the alleged abuse. Plaintiffs called the timing in open court; filings now confirm the footage is “irretrievably destroyed.” Chain-of-custody, backups, and IT logs need daylight—now.
This pattern from Trump & Co. is nothing new—there is a clear, decades-long pattern of excusing, enabling, and ultimately spreading political violence—from the red-carpet treatment for MBS after Khashoggi, to Helsinki siding with Putin over U.S. intelligence, to today forcing a free nation to its knees while crushing any populist voice that dares speak truth to billionaire power.
History has a twin cousin—it’s called facts, and they are stubborn things.
Today’s Republican Party does not honor people power, does not honor the Constitution, and does not honor the Declaration of Independence’s promise that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed. It honors only oligarchs, oil cartels, and sealed blackmail files.
For millions of Americans—especially people of color—living in blue states is no longer just a preference; it has become the only remaining firewall between basic human dignity and a regime that views them as disposable props in a rigged game.
The billionaires are betting those facts stay buried forever.
Don’t let them win.
Demand every page of the Epstein files.
Burn it all down if that’s what justice requires.
Because the alternative is a world in which one blackmail file in Moscow—or one sealed hard drive in Palm Beach—decides who lives free and who doesn’t.
Choose your side.
There are only two left: the many, or the money.
