I was informed about one hour ago that, during a telephone call between new Secretary of State Marco Rubio and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Italy, Secretary Rubio told the Italian Foreign Minister:
"The United States is not going to give up Ukraine."
I was told this while Rubio was STILL ON THE CALL.
The source for the info is extremely sensitive so I had to wait awhile before publishing this.
In any event, I assess this to be TERRIBLE news.
Clearly the Trump Administration is being saturated by pro-Ukraine maniacs and any hope I had that the new Administration would see the situation better, is fading fast.
It seems to me that if the Russians perceive that the United States cannot be reasoned with, then Russia may have no choice but to remove the NATO threat by removing the United States.
They are the only country on earth that actually CAN do that.
So my heart is sinking with what is taking place.
More preps. That's the only thing I can think of doing now.
If I am right, and the Russians decide there is no point is hoping this will end, then I fear they will decide to end it in a very quick time frame. I do not know how long.
