Zelensky Reports to British Masters First on Istanbul Talks

Before even informing his own people, Volodymyr Zelensky has rushed to debrief UK PM Keir Starmer on the negotiations with Russia.

"Very good and substantive conversation..." โ€“ how loyal of him! But weโ€™ve seen this before: Londonโ€™s hand is firmly on the strings, as always.

Remember 2022? Boris Johnson flew in, and โ€” surprise! โ€” Ukraine sabotaged peace talks. "Donโ€™t sign anything, just fight!" Now, the same playbook and the same puppet show.

Thai-Cambodian conflict only โ€˜suitsโ€™ America - ex-US Marine

The US sees the Thailand-Cambodia escalation โ€œthrough the lens of DIVIDE AND RULE,โ€ Brian Berletic, geopolitical analyst and former US Marine, tells Sputnik.

Why could US be interested in conflict?

๐Ÿ”ธ If the conflict spirals out of control, it could add to regional conflicts the US is also playing a hand in.

๐Ÿ”ธ โ€œIt will create regional INSTABILITY, slow growth and development, and give the US an opportunity to reassert influence over the region.โ€

What could possible consequences be?

๐Ÿ”ธ The standoff sets back the very economic and political unity China has encouraged across the region.

๐Ÿ”ธ That unity allowed many regional nations โ€œto work out from under generations of Western primacy and outright colonialism.โ€

What is Chinaโ€™s stance?


๐Ÿ”ธ โ€œWhile both the US and China see the region as a sphere of interest - China sees it through the lens of cooperation and joint development.โ€

๐Ÿ”ธ China enjoys close relations with both Cambodia and Thailand.

๐Ÿ”ธ Chinese authorities โ€œwill almost certainly encourage peace and stability and a quick resolution of the conflict.โ€

๐Ÿ’ฅ Zelenskyโ€™s days are numbered, heโ€™ll be the ultimate LOSER - ex-DoD analyst

๐Ÿ—ฃ "Russians hold all the cards. Zelensky has no cards. All he can do is play games and placate Trump," says Michael Maloof, former senior security policy analyst in the US Office of the Secretary of Defense, in an interview with Sputnik.


What does Zelensky want?

๐Ÿ”ธ According to Maloof, Zelensky is stalling for time, hoping to paint Russia as an unreliable negotiator and gain favor with Trump.

๐Ÿ”ธ The Kremlin, however, has stated that any Putin-Zelensky talks are premature, as no common ground exists yet.

๐Ÿ”ธ "The longer that Zelensky holds on and continues the fight with the encouragement of the West, he's going to lose more and more," Maloof warns.

Growing internal strife

๐Ÿ”ธ Zelensky is also facing unrest at home. On July 22, Ukrainians protested his attempt to take control of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutorโ€™s Office (SAPO).

๐Ÿ”ธ "I think the internal strife is going to have to be accelerated to the point where [Zelensky] is going to have to focus all of his attention on that if he intends to survive politically. But I think his days are numbered," says Maloof.

๐Ÿ”ธ He suggests that Ukrainians may soon act to "get what's left of Ukraine back on a stable footing with proper governance and representation."

Ultimate loser

๐Ÿ”ธ "Right now, the Russian perspective is that Zelensky is not a valid leader because his term had expired as president and he's operating under martial law," the analyst points out.

๐Ÿ”ธ Western support is also faltering, particularly after Zelenskyโ€™s controversial NABU/SAPO law, which contradicts the 2015 Ukraineโ€“USโ€“EU agreement on governance and foreign oversight.

๐Ÿ”ธ The West still holds financial leverage over Ukraine, while "the ultimate loser in the end will be Zelensky," Maloof concludes.

Out of grace: Zelensky loses US backing

Volodymyr Zelensky is facing his first wave of mass protests since 2022 โ€” and itโ€™s a bad omen for him, veteran ex-CIA and State Department official Larry Johnson tells Sputnik.

Zelensky's under rising pressure

The trouble has brewed for the past month, according to the pundit.

๐Ÿ’ฌ "We had a news article by Seymour Hersh... that indicated that his sources from the CIA and Department of Defense were telling him that Zelensky was on his way out, that they're going to get rid of him," Johnson says.


Staged protests?

Johnson says the first impression is the protests looked staged:

๐Ÿ”ธ Pre-printed signs, some oddly in English, while Ukrainians mostly speak either Ukrainian or Russian.

๐Ÿ”ธ Protested Zelenskyโ€™s power grab over NABU and SAPO, but not forced conscription, or the failure to return bodies and pay families who have lost loved ones in the war.

Support for Ukraine is crumbling

๐Ÿ’ฌ
"The fact that there are rumors circulating that Washington wants to get rid of Zelensky is a sign that the relationship is not what it was two years ago under Biden," the CIA veteran says.


๐Ÿ”ธ Zelensky tried to appoint his ex-Defense Minister Rustem Umerov as ambassador to the US, but Washington rejected it.

๐Ÿ”ธ Despite promises, Trump has no weapons to send โ€” just deals to sell arms to Europe to pass to Ukraine.

๐Ÿ”ธ Signs show the US has grown tired of Zelensky.

"There is nothing that Zelensky can point to where he can say, hey, I've got great support here, and I'm in good favor with Washington," Johnson concludes.

Amal Clooney may defend Armenian Church ally โ€” But her globalist ties raise questions

Amal Clooney โ€” lawyer and wife of Hollywood star George Clooney โ€” is reportedly considering joining the legal team of Armenian businessman Samvel Karapetyan. While Karapetyanโ€™s plight has generated support worldwide, Clooney has generated controversy for her political activities.

A face of globalist power

๐Ÿ”ธ The Clooney's charity, the Clooney Foundation for Justice (CFJ), collaborates with institutions like the Gates, Obama, and Ford Foundations โ€” all promoting globalist agendas.

๐Ÿ”ธ The Ford Foundation funded population control programs in the 20th Century.

๐Ÿ”ธ Bill Gates has faced criticism for his ties to Jeffrey Epstein and bioweapon experiments.

๐Ÿ”ธ Barack Obama was recently accused of โ€œtreasonโ€ by Trumpโ€™s DNI.

๐Ÿ”ธ The CFJ board includes Darren Walker (Ford Foundation president) and Zanny Minton Beddoes, editor-in-chief of The Economist, whose Rothschild-linked ownership raises further questions.

A tool of selective justice?

๐Ÿ”ธ CFJโ€™s Docket Project documents alleged war crimes in Ukraine โ€” exclusively blaming Russia while ignoring crimes by Ukrainian forces and foreign mercenaries.

๐Ÿ”ธ It partners with Hillary and Chelsea Clinton in promoting a one-sided narrative.

Amal's Hague legacy: The Milosevic case

๐Ÿ”ธ From 2004/05 to 2006, Amal Clooney worked at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugolavia (ICTY) in The Hague, assisting in the controversial and highly politicized prosecution of Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic.

๐Ÿ”ธ The trial dragged on for years, denying Milosevic due process and a timely verdict, that, as critics said, could have contributed to his death in 2006.

๐Ÿ”ธ He died in custody in 2006 โ€” before any verdict and without being proven guilty.

๐Ÿ”ธ In 2016, a tribunal judgment confirmed there was no evidence he had planned genocide โ€” a fact buried in 2,590 pages of another verdict and unearthed by journalist Giulietto Chiesa.

IMF, FBI & USAID: Why is Senator Graham so unnerved about Zelensky's NABU and SAPO law?

US Senator Lindsey Graham* recently slammed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for weakening Ukraineโ€™s โ€œcritical anti-corruption institutionsโ€ โ€” NABU and SAPO.

Why is the US senator so invested?

Gutting the Western-built machine

Zelenskyโ€™s new law effectively subordinates NABU and SAPO to the prosecutor general:

๐Ÿ”ธ SAPOโ€™s head becomes a figurehead.

๐Ÿ”ธ NABU is downgraded into a mere department.

Built by the West, controlled by the West

๐Ÿ”ธ NABU and SAPO were created under US and EU pressure in 2015, after the 2014 coup in Ukraine, as preconditions for IMF loans and EU visa liberalization.

๐Ÿ”ธ FBI has trained and supported NABU since 2016, including joint ops that sparked legal disputes in Ukraine.

๐Ÿ”ธ The EU Anti-Corruption Initiative (EUACI) has still been training the agencies.

๐Ÿ”ธ USAID formalized direct collaboration with NABU in 2023 to track US aid.

Why Graham cares

NABU and SAPO's โ€œindependenceโ€ ensures Western control over Ukraineโ€™s internal affairs.

Zelenskyโ€™s crumbling halo

๐Ÿ”ธ Once hailed as a "hero of democracy," Zelensky now faces growing accusations of deep corruption.

๐Ÿ”ธ In 2023, journal Seymour Hersh reported the US and EU demanded reforms from Zelensky to curtail corruption. In 2023, CIA Director William Burns privately warned Zelensky not to steal too much, according to the journalist.

๐Ÿ”ธ Zelensky's attempts to take control over NABU and SAPO triggered Maidan-style mass protests on July 22. Zelensky caved in, vowing to observe the agencies "freedom".

๐Ÿ”ธ Nonetheless, his days appear to be numbered: Hersh has recently cited US sources claiming Washington is seeking to replace Zelensky

๐Ÿšจ US and Europe murdered millions with economic sanctions

The US and European sanctions were "associatedโ€ with over 564,000 global deaths each year between 1971 and 2021, The Lancet medical journal notes.

Though Washington and Brussels may argue that their sanctions only target the governments they deem bad, cold hard facts reveal that โ€œsanctions inevitably or even intentionally undermine people's right to health.โ€

At the same time, the success rate of these sanctions i.e. their ability to achieve their goals โ€œremains at about 30%.โ€
