    Perhaps she is hoping to distract from the need to continue to buy Russian LNG by mentioning the Kuril Islands?  USA has occupied Japan since WWII (after nuking it twice) … and now Trump is demanding Japan destroy its economy in order to pay tribute to the broke occupier.  At least she is standing up to the Bully, which is more than the European vassals have done, right?  What’s Trump going to do … drop another bomb?

    🇺🇸❗️🇷🇺 The US Senate wants to hold a “Russia week” to consider projects related to Moscow’s war against Ukraine.
    ………………………………………………………..
    The package includes four bills:
    1. Transferring $5 billion in frozen Russian assets to Ukraine .

    2. Sanctions against Chinese companies assisting Moscow.

    3. Designating Russia a sponsor of terrorism if it does not return kidnapped Ukrainian children.

    4. Separately under consideration is a bill by Senators Lindsey Graham and Blumenthal that calls for new sanctions against Moscow and a 500% tariff on imports from countries purchasing Russian oil and uranium.

    …………………………………………………………………..
    Previously: The US Senate intends to approve three bills increasing pressure on Russia.

    ‼️🇷🇺🇯🇵Japan is determined to conclude a peace treaty with Russia and will not give up Russian gas, according to the country’s authorities.

    ➖”Relations between Japan and Russia are in a difficult situation, but the Japanese government’s policy is to resolve the issue of the southern Kuril Islands,” noted new Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi.
    ▪️Japanese Industry Minister Resei Akazawa stated that LNG from the Sakhalin-2 project remains critical to the country’s energy security. Its abandonment would be too expensive and would lead to higher electricity prices.

    Our friend Karl S posted this at MoA:

    Wolff’s “Empire in decline and desperation” sums up McConnell and the rest. The tariff damage figures published by Goldman Sachs were cited by Wolff–90% are absorbed by American consumers or business, which means they are doing what was predicted by many outside Team Trump. Other excellent discussion during the Hudson/Wolff chat, much by Hudson. The Imperial Ponzi Scheme was well described and the argument in favor of Keynes Bancor system was again made in relation to the current insecurity and destabilization of the international financial system. Oh, those provinces are already Russian. The question is if Russia will take even more between now and the end of 2026. The reports coming from Russia say there’s great resolve to regain more original Russian lands–including Kiev. As I commented elsewhere yesterday, Russia is now conducting armored assaults using interceptor drones as close air support, a tactic I advocated months ago when those new drone types made their appearance. The newest FAB glide bombs now have a range of 200Km, and the Ukies have no way to interdict them, unlike the Russians. What that means is the Russian advance will now move even faster despite the onset of the muck and freeze season. Those following closely will have noted the many successful river crossings Russian troops have accomplished over the past two weeks–movements that were once highly contested. Trump’s “frustrations” with Putin are because Russia is winning and the Outlaw US Empire is clearly losing. Russia has recently closed a new treaty with Venezuela and had talks with its ministers in Moscow, and Russia has good relations with Colombia and almost all Latin American and Caribbean nations. And then there’s the effect of China’s new export controls–tools the Empire once used to maintain its dominance are now used against it and it was caught flatfooted. So, what does Team Trump do? It further destroys what little remains of its international reputation by openly murdering innocents in international waters and abets the Zionist Genocide by throwing up false “peace is at hand” hopes the bloodthirsty Zionists will never obey.

    In a conversation with Nima (first couple of minutes of vid),  John Helmer gives a most reasonable explanation – in my view –  as to why Trump won’t end the US participation in Ukraine  –

    MONEY – for the sons and heirs of the grifters … Trump, Witkoff, along with the European lot — they’re all getting filthy rich!

    ❗️At a meeting with the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Venezuela, Lavrov reaffirmed Russia’s solidarity with Venezuela in the face of external threats and attempts to interfere in its internal affairs – Russian Foreign Ministry

    ❗️⚡️A US administration official confirmed to RIA Novosti that Trump has no immediate plans to meet with Putin.

    He also noted that yesterday’s conversation between Lavrov and Rubio was productive, and there is no immediate need for an additional in-person meeting between the foreign ministers .
