[ANALYSIS and OPINION]
Just a couple of days ago (last week of February, 2025), President Trump and VP JD Vance got into a live and very public argument with President Zelenskyy of Ukraine. Regardless of whom one thinks is at fault for the rhubarb, there can be little question that the Russian, the Ukrainians and the rest of the World now believes that: (i) a Russian victory in Ukraine is much more likely; (ii) So is the loss of Ukrainian independence if not its very existence; (iii) NATO has been severely weakened; and for the first time since World War II the U.S. and Russia seem to have similar foreign policy aims. It is almost impossible to exaggerate the tectonic shift in global affairs caused by the Trump -Vance/Zelenskyy argument.
Are the U.S. and Russia now going to be formal allies? The thought would have seemed ludicrous for the past 80 years or so. Similarly the idea that NATO, which, along with the U.S. has been largely responsible for keeping the Western world safe for democracy, would suddenly be militarily and economically neutered leaves anyone with any experience over the past several decades simply breathless and perhaps even very frightened.
If the foregoing isn’t enough, we’ve also posted several disturbing videos regarding President Trump and what we believe his ultimate goals might well be. And we are very sad to say the President has done absolutely nothing to make us second guess ourselves:
Here are some of our other recent videos on this incredibly important subject:
** a 3 minute earlier version of the video above was done in late October 2024 before the election. See bottom of this video.
But here are some other misdeeds etc worthy of consideration.
Like many folks we have over the years wondered what exactly Trump’s relationship to the Putin and the Russians is. We were very alarmed at his very public requests for help from the Russian in the 2016 Presidential campaign–not to mention some suspicious meetings with Russian agents. What worried us most was that the Russians had the ability to blackmail him because they had somehow gained embarrassing information when he visited Moscow in the 1980s. Frankly we are not certain. However, videos like the following give us pause:
In our opinion no one should be elected or allowed to serve as President if there is any genuine risk that he or she has been somehow compromised by a foreign government. The risks would far outweigh any potential benefit of having that person serve as President. In our opinion there is a genuine risk that Trump has either been compromised, or is in fact a foreign asset. Can we say so for sure? No. But all of his recent actions and statements point in that direction and thus the risks in allowing him to continue to serve as President far outweigh the benefits of having a 34 count felon, who also was held to be an insurrectionist (by the courts in Colorado) serve as President.
On the other hand there is this more balanced report:

And then expanding on this important subject see the following:
Here’s the October 2024 video we did on where Trump may be taking us.
Eventually on March 23, 2025, we took a deeper dive and actually decided to ask ChatGPT 4.5 what the chances were that Trump was under “undue” Russian influence, which CHAT defines as anything that compromises or seriously interferes with independent decision making of the President beyond normal political considerations (and which would cause the President to put a foreign country’s interests ahead of that of the U.S.) including blackmail, coercion, threat of disclosing sensitive information and the like. It would include being a planted Russian agent. Here is what we came up with:
