With everything happening it is hard to keep everything in your head all the time.\u00a0 Yesterday, reading Pepe Escobar\u2019s latest piece reminded me of a couple of themes I try to hit on regularly.<\/p>\n

  1. The U.S. only negotiates when it\u2019s losing<\/li>\n
  2. Review the after-effects of major moments as turning points<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Vladimir Putin\u2019s speech on March 1st when he announced Russia\u2019s new weapon systems were one such turning point.\u00a0 The after-effects of their announcement has been an acceleration of Trump\u2019s plans to wind down the U.S. empire around the world.<\/p>\n

    Trump and his advisors, most likely Secretary of Defense James Mattis, came to the conclusion that all of the U.S.\u2019s forward deployments around the world are vulnerable in a way they weren\u2019t before March 1st.<\/p>\n

    Next up would be Russia.\u00a0 And Trump defied the establishment to talk to Putin.\u00a0 They had to talk.\u00a0 Trump had to know Putin\u2019s real intentions in developing these weapons and pursuing the policies he did.<\/p>\n

    It was necessary.<\/p>\n

    So despite the venal, self-serving screeching from the Deep State, their quislings in the Media and their water-bearers on the Left, Trump talked with Putin to ensure that no \u2018accidents\u2019 occur between the two countries that control, as Trump pointed out during the #TreasonSummit, 90% of the world\u2019s nuclear weapons.<\/p>\n
