This content is for Subscribers Only. It is EXTREMELY SENSITIVE from very high-levels -
The talks between the US and Russia are not (solely) about Ukraine. These talks are about USA being concerned Russian Federation will do the exact thing in Venezuela as the USA did in Ukraine; Arming them with all kind of weapons.
Believe it or not, the talks are ALSO about Israel and Iran.
According to extremely sensitive, high-level people (two) the USA is prepared to give (parts) of Ukraine to Russian Federation in exchange for non involvement of Russian Federation in war in Venezuela and Iran.
China is there to monitor Russian Federation; Because China has interests (belt and road) in Iran and Venezuela. It is in China's interest that USA and Russian Federation do not reach agreement, because then China would have to defend Iran and Venezuela alone.
The Ukraine "peace plan" is just a cover story for dividing interest areas in the world. Everybody knows that Ukraine is finished.
Israel wants to take out Iran and Venezuela. That is very hard - perhaps even impossible -- if Iran and Venezuela have help from the Russian Federation and China.
Another gigantic problem for the US is the US strategic petroleum reserves; they are running on fumes.....
any drone attack on strategic reserves and pipelines and....it is over.
100 geranium drones would do the job and to prevent that, the US needs Russian Federation to not deliver targeting data and drones to Venezuela.
The US wants to bring the Venezuela oil supplies back online to grab refill of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve on the cheap. A long, costly war to achieve that is NOT in the US interests.
That is a reason why the US is ready to provide considerable concessions to the Russian Federation considering Ukraine. The problem is, China is also in play, and China does not want their belt and road initiative to go bust.
China invested a total of $2.476 billion USD in 36 countries. it is kind of a lot of money, and China still has a death penalty for embezzlement among other things. They want the value for the money they spent and don't want that investment ruined by US military action.
EUROPE ENRAGED - PLANNING RETALIATION AGAINST USA
European leaders are suspicious that Trump is rushing towards a geopolitical deal with Vladimir Putin, while paying little heed to the security concerns of NATO allies.
The Wall Street Journal reports a European intelligence service has circulated internal assessments about "commercial and economic plans” the Trump team has been exploring with Russia behind closed doors.
This has reportedly fueled fears among European politicians that the White House is preparing to sacrifice Europe's security in exchange for its own economic gain.
Sources told the WSJ that European leaders are considering adopting extreme countermeasures in retaliation, designed to unleash economic chaos in the US.
The alleged plan involves dumping trillions in US government debt owned by European states.
A rapid sell off would likely cause a crash in the value of the US dollar, create a liquidity crisis across the banking system and cause a huge spike in borrowing costs. It would also force the American financial sector into a paralysis more severe than the 2008 Great Financial Crisis.
A leading European economist told the WSJ the plan is a potential financial whiplash that could hit the US harder than any external shock in modern history.
The EU and the UK are among the largest holders of US Treasury securities (US debt), which gives them significant potential economic leverage.
As of December 2024, the United Kingdom holds an estimated $722.7 billion in US debt.
The European Union member countries collectively hold an estimated $1.62 trillion.
Combined, this is approximately $2.34 trillion, making the EU/UK bloc one of the single largest foreign holders of US debt.
POTENTIAL IMPACT
If Europe were to do as this information suggests, and intentionally dump US Treasuries, the likely effects would include:
- Higher interest rates: A large sell-off would drastically decrease the demand for U.S. debt, forcing the government to offer higher interest rates to entice other buyers.
- Increased borrowing costs: Higher interest payments would become a greater burden on the U.S. government, potentially reducing funding for other areas.
- Weakened dollar: Reduced foreign demand for Treasuries could weaken the U.S. dollar, making imports more expensive and potentially fueling inflation.
- Economic slowdown: Higher interest rates would make borrowing more expensive for businesses and individuals, which could slow economic growth and increase the risk of a recession.
- Financial instability: The act of selling off such a large amount of assets could create instability within the European financial system itself, potentially leading to a credit crunch and recession in Europe.
- Contagion effect: The resulting global financial market turbulence would likely have negative consequences for economies that are heavily integrated into the global system.
Loss of safe haven: U.S. Treasuries are considered a global safe haven; a coordinated sell-off would destabilize this perception, which could impact future investment strategies and market sentiment for all major economies.
Market reactions
- Market volatility: The move would trigger widespread market volatility across various asset classes as investors panic and re-evaluate their risk exposure.
- Contagious selling: The initial sell-off could trigger a domino effect of panic selling by other investors and countries, further exacerbating market instability
