Meloni destroys the warlike dreams of the European left! Italy says ‘No’ to sending troops to Ukraine and leaves France and the UK on the ropes.

Giorgia Meloni, Italy’s firm and resolute prime minister, has shaken the European negotiating tables with her categorical refusal to send Italian troops to Ukraine, exposing the interventionist obsessions of the European left, embodied by France and the United Kingdom.

Meloni made it clear in London, during a summit on Ukraine, that Italy prioritizes diplomacy over unbridled militarism.

Meloni’s decision is not a whim, but a strategic stance reflecting Italy’s caution toward a conflict that could escalate and further destabilize Europe.

Something is smelling really bad among the peace brokers of Ukraine

You don’t have to be a genius to work out that if you exclude Russia and just look at the three groups who are vying for war, or whining for peace, that no one is being very honest about their intentions. Previously, I tackled head on how Trump is not being very honest when he talks of peace as he has the means to enforce it at the drop of a hat, but chooses to drag his feet and hold out for deals. This is not simply Trump Basic who we all know well – where’s the deal? – but also Trump playing out a longer game with Russia, looking at where the sweet spot could be. Trump’s tour de force is always to create a crisis and then position himself to be the only person on the planet who is capable or willing to resolve it. His personality is always paramount to everything.

And so the stunt in the White House needs to be seen in the correct context. Zelensky was not honest in coming to the White House in the first place as it was believed that he was to meet Trump and JD Vance to sign a mineral deal which he agreed to and retracted from signing a number of times leading up to the visit. This became apparent when he met with Trump behind close doors and so the Plan B was to lower Zelensky into a trap and make him look ungrateful, arrogant and entirely impossible to work with. But what’s the real story behind Zelensky’s decision? Again, we see the puppet Zelensky having his strings pulled by others. Is it a coincidence that just days earlier British PM Keir Starmer arrives in the White House where, just a matter of hours earlier he announces in the British parliament that defence spending will be increased, in line with Trump’s demands for European members of NATO? Was it merely that Starmer needed to show some goodwill to Trump even to get the meeting, or was Starmer preparing for choppier waters to come, when Trump would finally hear the rumours? According to some reports, Zelensky has sold all the mineral rights already to the UK, so he was playing a game with Trump all along.

But there are more lies and games to come.

REPORT: Trump To Revoke Legal Status And Possibly Deport Ukrainians Who Fled To US

Rumors are, that those who were in NYC demonstrating against Trump – those faces were filmed, the police and Homeland security are working on deportations of those Ukrainians, reported a source.

U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration is planning to revoke temporary legal status for some 240,000 Ukrainians who fled the conflict with Russia, a senior Trump official and three sources familiar with the matter said, potentially putting them on a fast-track to deportation.

The move, expected as soon as April, reported Reuters.

The planned rollback of protections for Ukrainians was underway before Trump publicly feuded with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy last week. It is part of a broader Trump administration effort to strip legal status from more than 1.8 million migrants allowed to enter the U.S. under temporary humanitarian parole programs launched under the Biden administration, the sources said.

The administration plans to revoke parole for about 530,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans as soon as this month, the Trump official and one of the sources familiar with the matter said, requesting anonymity to discuss internal deliberations.

Zelensky Told Trump That Putin Cannot Be Trusted. But Who Killed Minsk 2?

On February 28, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky got the meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump that he had been hoping for. It was an opportunity to sign their agreement on minerals and, more importantly, to improve relations and heal their recent fight.

Instead, another fight erupted (you can see the whole discussion below).

Much has been written on the tone of what was said by both sides, but not enough attention has been paid to the content of what was said.

Much of what Trump and Vance said publicly had been said privately before. This was not the first time the U.S. or its allies have accused Zelensky of always asking for more without expressing gratitude. Vance pressed Zelensky that he “should be thanking the president.” In July 2023, then British defence secretary Ben Wallace said that the U.S. and UK “want to see a bit of gratitude.” And he said that he had previously told Ukraine, “when I drove 11 hours to be given a list, that I’m not like Amazon.” Then U.S. national security advisor Jake Sullivan said that “the American people do deserve a degree of gratitude.”

The complaint is not entirely fair. It is cruel to berate a country being defeated in war for asking for what you promised them if they would continue fighting that war. In the first weeks of the war, Zelensky was exploring a negotiated peace with Russia when the U.S. and UK discouraged him from following that path and promised whatever aid he needed for as long as he needed it if he would abandon negotiating with Russia for fighting with them. If you don’t want to be treated like Amazon, you shouldn’t advertise that you provide services like Amazon.

Expect a NATO false flag attack to drag America into a global world war – If Europe wants world war III against Russia, let them be the ones to pay for it and fight it

Liberal pundits, along with warhawk RINOs (Republicans In Name Only), and European leaders all clutched their pearls and got out the fainting couches after President Trump told Zelenskyy he was risking “World War III,” yet the war between Russia and Ukraine has already involved multiple countries, whether they put boots on the ground or not.

Many liken the war in Ukraine to the one being waged in Israel, but the differences are like night and day, because only one of those two have the potential to ignite a literal world war, which makes comparisons like comparing apples to oranges, making it a false equivalent.

When the Biden regime allowed Ukraine to use U.S. manufactured missiles to hit inside of Russia, the U.S. became a direct participant in the Russia-Ukraine war, against a nation, Russia, who has the capabilities to directly attack America  and/or American interests, or military bases throughout Europe.

Europe on the other hand has been preparing for war with Russia, not out of fear that Russia would attack them when finished with Ukraine, as they claim, but rather because war is money, and European nations are facing failing economies.

We have argued here at ANP that the world is already seeing the beginning of WWIII, because unlike WWII or WWI, the technology exists to become active participants in a war without having military boots on the ground.

We see President Trump taking the stance that Ukraine be willing to talk about a cease-fire and peace talks, or withdrawing U.S. support, to which the majority of Americans think we have spent far too much on Ukraine while Americans are suffering high prices from Biden’s four years, massive credit card debt, and food prices that are making it hard to feed their families.

Now, parts of Europe are saying they are prepared to put their military on the ground in Ukraine to fight against Russia, which would escalate a war that would have been over years ago had nations like the U.S., and other NATO state members, simply minded their own business.

Trump BANS UK and Other Allies From Sharing US Military Intel With Ukraine

One Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky met with Democrats and Rinos and decided to engage in a confrontation with US President Donald J. Trump in the Oval Office in front of dozens of journalists, he was told by Trump: ‘Your troubles are just getting started’.

And so it happened, that the US ceased all military aid to Kiev, guaranteeing that it will have no chance to stabilize the 600-mile-long frontline and its crumbling defenses.

But that was hardly all of it, as it arises now a Daily Mail report saying that the US has also banned Britain and all other allies from sharing intelligence from Washington with Ukraine.

Daily Mail reported:

“But on top of missiles and ammunition, all UK intelligence agencies and military outlets also received an order expressly forbidding the sharing of US-generated intelligence, previously known as ‘Rel UKR’ – short for Releasable to Ukraine’.”

The UK, Australia and New Zealand – among others – have been sharing such vital information with Ukraine, but now the ban affects UK’s GCHQ, as well as the spy agencies and intelligence branches of the Ministry of Defense.

“Last night, UK military intelligence expert Phil Ingram told the Mail: ‘The United States’s instruction to stop allies sharing US-derived intelligence with Ukraine is what I would expect’.

‘The US’s intelligence partners, including Britain, have had their authority to pass on intelligence revoked. The US will tightly control distribution of its intelligence to Ukraine through agencies based in Kiev’.”

Starmer’s Summit Gives Birth To A Mouse – It’s Stillborn.

A mountain was in labour, uttering immense groans,
and on earth there was very great expectation.
But it gave birth to a mouse. This has been written for you,
who, though you threaten great things, accomplish nothing.”

Sundays meeting of selected European leaders in London reminded me of the above Aesop fable.

Prime Minister Starmer’s summit, called for in haste, has achieved nothing:

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer rallied his European counterparts Sunday to shore up their borders and throw their full weight behind Ukraine as he announced outlines of a plan to end Russia’s war.
…
Starmer said he had worked with France and Ukraine on a plan to end the war and that the group of leaders — mostly from Europe — had agreed on four things.

The steps toward peace would:

  • keep aid flowing to Kyiv and maintain economic pressure on Russia to strengthen Ukraine’s hand;
  • make sure Ukraine is at the bargaining table and any peace deal must ensure its sovereignty and security; and
  • continue to arm Ukraine to deter future invasion.
  • Finally, Starmer said they would develop a “coalition of the willing” to defend Ukraine and guarantee the peace.

“Not every nation will feel able to contribute but that can’t mean that we sit back,” he said. “Instead, those willing will intensify planning now with real urgency. The U.K. is prepared to back this with boots on the ground and planes in the air, together with others.”

It is far from certain whether Russian President Vladimir Putin will accept any such plan, which Starmer said would require strong U.S. backing. He did not specify what that meant, though he told the BBC before the summit that there were “intense discussions” to get a security guarantee from the U.S.

“If there is to be a deal, if there is to be a stopping of the fighting, then that agreement has to be defended, because the worst of all outcomes is that there is a temporary pause and then Putin comes again,” Starmer said.

Starmer said he will later bring a more formal plan to the U.S. and work with Trump.

That mouse the mountain gave birth to is stillborn:

– Trump has made clear that the U.S. will not agree to back any European forces in Ukraine.

– Zelenski, unless under more pressure, will not agree to a ceasefire without U.S. backing.

– Russia does not agree to any temporary ceasefire. It wants a new permanent security architecture for Europe and beyond.

– Russia does not agree to forces from NATO countries in Ukraine. It started the war to prevent that to happen.

– Russia will not agree to a rearming of Ukraine. Its declared aim is to ‘de-militarize’ the country.

– Russia is winning the war. Neither Starmer nor Europe have the means to prevent it from doing that.

Footage Beginning To Emerge Of Massive Ukrainian Graveyards

Images have started to emerge on international Telegram channels the scale of the cemeteries into which Zelensky has driven his fellow citizens. And, his Western bloodthirsty friends continue to insist that Ukrainians in Ukraine fight “Until the last Ukrainian” ..

It is paradoxical that this company should also include Ukrainians who have fled the country in the last couple of years to Europe. It is a paradox, but it is this category of Ukrainian citizens that turned out to be the most bloodthirsty.

Europe Spent More on Russian Fuel in 2024 than Ukraine Aid

The European Union (EU) has been talking very tough about its unwavering and unlimited support for Ukraine since Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s disastrous visit to the White House, but data published by an independent research organization shows the EU spent more on Russian oil and gas in 2024 than it spent on Ukraine.

The Center for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA), a group opposed to burning fossil fuels, calculated that European nations spent $23 billion buying Russian fuel in 2024, compared to $19.6 billion in foreign aid provided to Ukraine.

EU spending on Russian fuel was down six percent from the previous year, but this was largely due to falling prices, since the volume of Russian product imported by the EU was only down by one percent.

CREA also found Russian oil sales to China, India, and Turkey booming, although its total fossil fuel revenue of $254 billion was down three percent from 2023. Russia’s “shadow fleet” of some 558 tankers moved 167 million metric tons of oil in defiance of price caps.

“Despite a host of sanctions, Russian revenues in the third year have dropped by a mere 8% compared to the year prior to the invasion of Ukraine,” the report noted. Furthermore, the effect of sanctions appears to be diminishing, largely due to Russia’s skill at using its shadow fleet to evade price restrictions.

CREA recommended “tighter sanctions” against Russia that could “slash Kremlin revenues” by up to 20 percent – but those sanctions would require the EU to break its addiction to Russian fuel. European purchases have declined greatly since Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, but Europe still provides roughly a quarter of Russia’s fossil fuel export revenue.
