“If Trump can end the Russia-Ukraine war in 24 hours, I'll be the first one voting for his Nobel Peace Prize. What I hope he does, and I think he will, is put pressure on both sides to get to the negotiating table, and it comes out kind of like the end of the Korean War, which is to say, Putin, unfortunately, but in a real world, will end up with about 20 percent of Ukraine, the chunk that he currently holds, but the rest of Ukraine, the 80 percent, all those resources, vast majority of the population, they stay democratic, free. Ukraine will also get a path to NATO, probably three to five years, realistically. It's not the worst outcome in the world. Keep in mind that a negotiated settlement is not something the U.S. can impose-but for the Ukrainians and Russians to agree upon. Negotiating a ceasefire and eventual settlement will take months. Ukraine's entry into NATO could be accomplished over a couple years.”

“What's intriguing is that instead of selling off, bitcoin plowed through prior highs on Nov. 6 ($76,400), Nov. 7 ($76,900) and Nov. 8 ($77,200). Gold and U.S. equities are doing the same thing, hitting highs and then breaking them. This illustrates how strong the current rally is - and how likely it is to continue.”

“Today, a number of really needy African countries do not receive the necessary financial support through, for example, from the IMF, the World Bank. Do you know why? They can make up a lot of stories, but you and I know the truth, and let's say it out loud: yes, because they divert their main resources to support the Kiev regime. And if we speak directly, to [support] the war, what are they doing this for? Only for one purpose - to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia. And why is it necessary to inflict a strategic defeat? Because Russia supports all those who need not imaginary patronage, but real defense.”

“Germany's problems are too big to tolerate political gridlock. The government set out to reconcile the transformation towards climate neutrality with economic growth and social security. It has not lived up to this claim. The economy is stagnating and investments are failing to materialize. This daunting task was compounded by geo-economic tensions: wars in Europe and the Middle East as well as economically damaging interventions through tariffs and national subsidy policies. The election of Donald Trump has exacerbated these problems. Europe must do more for its security and will have to reckon with increased tariffs.”

“For Russia, the role of a security provider for the countries of the African continent is a practical, vital necessity. To date, Russia has signed agreements on regular military-technical cooperation with 33 [states]. More than 1,500 people, including 54 official delegations and 45 foreign ministers of the African continent, are taking part in our conference [Russia-Africa ministerial conference], which is being held on the Sirius federal territory.”

“The dialogue between President Zelenskyy and President-elect Trump has already been established. And the promptness of the phone conversation is evidence of the existing direct dialogue between the heads of states. Naturally, possible future contacts at the level of leaders have been discussed. The parties agreed that the teams would begin practical preparatory work to organise a meeting.”

“The Trump administration would ask Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for his version of a realistic vision for peace. And if President Zelensky comes to the table and says, well we can only have peace if we have Crimea, he shows to us that he's not serious. Crimea is gone. And if that is your priority of getting Crimea back and having American soldiers fight to get Crimea back, you're on your own. What we're going to say to Ukraine is, you know what you see? What do you see as a realistic vision for peace. It's not a vision for winning, but it's a vision for peace. And let's start having the honest conversation. The reality on the ground is that the European nation states and President Biden did not give Ukraine the ability and the arms to win this war at the very beginning and they failed to lift the restrictions for Ukraine to win.”

“There has been a lot of soul searching. Democrats have been looking at when Biden got out of the race and whether there should have been a primary, but also about the issues that the party was focused on in the race. The Democratic Party and Kamala Harris were very much expecting the issue of reproductive rights and abortion rights to motivate women to the polls. The majority of women did support support Harris. But that was not enough to overtake Trump's lead and that was not what they predicted. There has been a lot of talk about the economy and how that was a big concern for so many people and that perhaps the Democrats should focus more on their messaging on that topic. But how the Harris campaign got their message out has also been a big point of discussion. The Republicans put Donald Trump on podcasts that were very popular with young men and used influencers on social media to get the word out. Democrats focused very much on traditional mainstream media.”

“He [Donald Trump] must have realised that the maximum pressure policy that he initiated caused Iran's enrichment to reach 60 percent from 3.5 percent. As a man of calculation, he should do the math and see what the advantages and disadvantages of this policy have been and whether he wants to continue or change this harmful policy.”
