Alexander Mercouris, 12 November 2026
Vladimir Putin has slammed the door on Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff in an icy Kremlin meeting, with hardline negotiator Vladimir Medinsky in the room and not a single smile in sight. Alexander breaks down Putin's demand for a new European security architecture, his rejection of gray zones in favour of the state border, the Konstantinovka evacuation offer, and his insistence that foreign troops never enter Ukraine, while Europe still cannot agree on a chief negotiator. Has Europe walked into a trap of its own making, and is the West now staring at its worst geopolitical defeat since 1945?

MY COMMENTS:
The U.S. regime and its colonies (‘allies’) will never report to their public that their empire — the only remaining empire — is in its decline-and-end phase. They’re desperate to continue it, and to continue growing it. But instead, the rest of the world is increasingly opposed to it, because the empire is almost exclusively the aggressor in the conflicts throughout the world. Declining empires normally increase the frequency of their aggressions. It’s the way they express their desperateness, and certainly it is so in the American case.
On 22 February 2023, I headlined “Will Russia take all of Ukraine?” and pointed out that the U.S. empire was clearly forcing Russia either to do that or else to capitulate to the U.S. empire and to become yet another of the U.S. regime’s colonies (‘allies’). Russia will NEVER accept the latter option. Clearly, then, “The West” IS now “staring at its worst geopolitical defeat since 1945,” as the video’s blurb says. How are the empire’s ‘news’-media reporting such realities? They aren’t, and won’t.
Of course, one must remember that in February 2014 the Obama regime’s bloody coup, hidden behind anti-corruption demonstrations in Kiev, overthrew the Constitutionally neutral democratically elected Ukrainian Government and replaced it immediately with Obama’s rabidly anti-Russian new government that promptly started invading its regions that had voted overwhelmingly for the overthrown Government that Obama had overthrown, and that this Obama action thereby started the war in Ukraine, which Trump and Biden merely continued and continue. And, at the time of the coup, even the EU’s Foreign Minister didn’t even so much as know that it had been a coup instead of the U.S.-regime's cover-story ‘democratic revolution’. It had been a U.S. action, NOT an EU one. And no democracy — which the U.S. ended there.

Investigative historian Eric Zuesse’s latest book, AMERICA’S EMPIRE OF EVIL: Hitler’s Posthumous Victory, and Why the Social Sciences Need to Change, is about how America took over the world after World War II in order to enslave it to U.S.-and-allied billionaires. Their cartels extract the world’s wealth by control of not only their ‘news’ media but the social ‘sciences’ — duping the public.
