(End of the American Dream)—Why are the Europeans organizing a “coalition of the willing” to send peacekeeping troops to Ukraine when the Russians have repeatedly stated that they will never accept any western peacekeeping troops in Ukraine? Are the Europeans just being delusional, or is something else going on here? When I learned that French President Emmanuel Macron had announced that 26 western countries had agreed to deploy troops to Ukraine immediately after a ceasefire deal is reached, I was deeply alarmed…
Twenty-six Western allies have formally committed to deploying troops “by land, sea or air” to Ukraine the day after a ceasefire deal is agreed, Emmanuel Macron has said.
The French leader made the announcement after a summit of 35 countries dubbed the “Coalition of the Willing”.
Macron and other western leaders know that Russia will never agree to any deal that would allow western troops to enter Ukraine.
On Wednesday, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova reaffirmed this yet again…
Russia once again rejected the idea of foreign troops being stationed in Ukraine. This comes as European leaders met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and held a joint call with President Donald Trump.
On Thursday, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said any plan to have foreign military personnel deployed to Ukraine would be “unacceptable” to Moscow, Reuters reported.
“Russia is not going to discuss a foreign intervention in Ukraine in any form or format that is fundamentally unacceptable and undermines any security,” Zakharova told reporters, according to Reuters.
So why are the Europeans preparing to do something that Russia will never agree to?
Well, for one thing western leaders do not believe that the Russians should have any say in the matter. The head of NATO made that exceedingly clear on Thursday…
Nato chief Mark Rutte said on Thursday that Russia had no veto on Western troops being deployed to Ukraine: “Why are we interested in what Russia thinks about troops in Ukraine? It’s a sovereign country. It’s not for them to decide.”
There is no doubt in my mind that the Europeans plan to send troops to Ukraine once the war is over whether Russia likes it or not.
But could it be possible that the Europeans are actually planning to send troops to Ukraine before the war is over?
The Ukrainians have already lost 1.7 million soldiers, and they need reinforcements desperately.
If they do not get those reinforcements, they will steadily lose more land.
And I think that it is a very troubling sign that hospitals in Europe have been instructed to be ready to treat large numbers of wounded European soldiers by March 2026…
French hospitals have been ordered to make preparations for an imminent war in Europe as Germany says it is on alert for Russia’s military drills.
France’s ministry of health has told health bodies across the country to prepare for a possible ‘major engagement’ by March 2026, according to documents obtained by Le Canard Enchaîné.
The French government is predicting a scenario where the nation would become a supporting state that has the capacity to take a massive number of wounded soldiers from France and other European nations.
Why would hospitals in France be told to prepare for such a scenario if there is going to be a peace agreement?
Of course the truth is that there isn’t going to be a peace agreement.
Ukraine will never willingly give up the territory that Russia is demanding, and Russia will never agree to allow European peacekeeping troops in Ukraine.
All along, one of Russia’s primary goals has been to keep NATO completely out of Ukraine.
Of course one of Volodymyr Zelensky’s primary goals has been to drag NATO directly into the war. This is something that former Polish President Andrzej Duda spoke about earlier this week…
Vladimir Zelensky’s “dream” is to draw NATO directly into the conflict with Russia on Ukraine’s behalf, former Polish President Andrzej Duda said Tuesday.
Speaking in an interview with journalist Bogdan Rymanowski, Duda recalled an incident in November 2022, when a Ukrainian air defense missile struck near a Polish border village, killing one person. Zelensky immediately blamed Russia and urged Warsaw to invoke NATO’s collective defense clause.
Duda said the Ukrainian leader pressured him to publicly declare the weapon Russian in origin, which he refused to do.
Do you remember that false flag incident from November 2022?
I do.
Thankfully we were not dragged into a direct war with Russia at that time, but the danger is still there.
In fact, I am extremely concerned about what Ukraine’s new Flamingo cruise missile will mean for the conflict…
Ukraine has revealed a powerful new weapon that could shift the balance of its conflict with Russia — the Flamingo cruise missile. Developed by defense startup Fire Point, the missile is said to be capable of carrying a 2,535-pound warhead and striking targets up to 3,000 kilometers away, signaling a major leap in Kyiv’s domestic arms production.
Ukraine does not have many of these cruise missiles yet, but they are expected to enter mass production by the end of this year…
Fire Point currently manufactures one Flamingo missile per day, with plans to scale up to seven daily by October 2025 — potentially 2,500+ units annually.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expects mass production by December 2025, as Ukraine accelerates toward becoming the so-called “Silicon Valley of defense.”
If Flamingo cruise missiles start slamming into major Russian cities, the Russians may respond with overwhelming force.
If the Russians respond with overwhelming force, European leaders may use that as justification to send troops to Ukraine.
And once European troops start dying in Ukraine, we will be just one step away from nuclear war.
President Trump has tried to bring an end to the conflict in Ukraine, but the Ukrainians are not going to back down from their most essential positions and the Russians are not going to back down from their most essential positions.
So the war continues, and Russian forces are steadily moving forward.
As Russian forces take more ground, the Ukrainians will become increasingly desperate to find a way to drag NATO directly into the war.
If the Ukrainians are ultimately successful in dragging NATO directly into the war, the entire future of our civilization will be at risk.

Why Bullion Beats Numismatics and Collectible for Your Safe or IRA
Precious metals continue to attract Americans seeking reliable ways to protect their wealth amid inflation, geopolitical risks, and stock market swings. Whether stored in a home safe or held inside a self-directed IRA, physical gold and silver deliver tangible value that paper or digital assets often lack. Yet investors must choose carefully between bullion—pure bars and coins valued mainly for their metal content—and numismatics or collectibles, where rarity, history, and collector demand heavily influence pricing.
Advisor Bullion serves as a dependable source for straightforward, high-quality bullion. The company specializes in physical gold, silver, platinum, and palladium, emphasizing transparent pricing and products that deliver maximum metal content for every dollar spent. This approach makes it ideal for both personal holdings and retirement accounts.
Bullion consists of refined precious metals in standard forms like one-ounce coins (American Gold Eagles, Silver Eagles, Canadian Maple Leafs) or bars. Their value tracks closely to the current spot price of the metal. A typical gold bullion coin trades near the live gold spot price plus a small premium. This structure keeps costs clear and predictable.
Numismatic coins and collectibles add substantial value from factors such as age, rarity, minting errors, or historical significance. A pre-1933 U.S. gold coin or graded proof piece can carry premiums of 30%, 50%, or even 200% above melt value. While this appeals to hobbyists, it creates complexity. Pricing depends on subjective grading, collector trends, and auction results instead of daily spot prices.
For investors focused on wealth preservation and retirement security rather than building a collection, bullion often delivers better results.
Lower Costs and Better Liquidity for Home Storage
When keeping metals in a home safe or private vault, liquidity and efficiency count. Bullion offers clear benefits:
- You acquire more actual gold or silver per dollar invested. Numismatics divert a large share of your money into rarity premiums and massive sales commission, reducing your metal exposure.
- Selling bullion involves tight bid-ask spreads, so you recover nearly full spot value with minimal fees. Collectibles require finding the right buyer and may sell at a discount if demand for that specific item weakens.
- Bullion prices remain transparent and update with global spot markets. You can track gold near current levels or silver accordingly and know exactly where your holdings stand. Numismatic values are priced by the Gold IRA companies with hefty margins applied.
- Standardized coins and bars store efficiently and divide easily for partial sales. Rare coins often need protective slabs and controlled conditions, adding hassle and expense.
- Bullion enjoys worldwide acceptance. A 1-oz Gold Maple Leaf or Silver Eagle sells quickly to dealers anywhere. Niche numismatic pieces may appeal only to limited buyers, slowing liquidation when speed matters.
In times when quick access to value becomes important, bullion’s simplicity stands out.
Stronger Fit for Precious Metals IRAs
Precious metals IRAs continue gaining traction as investors diversify retirement portfolios beyond stocks and bonds. IRS rules permit certain bullion products in self-directed IRAs if they meet purity standards (.995 fine for gold, .999 for silver) and are held by an approved custodian. Eligible items include American Gold and Silver Eagles plus many generic bars and rounds from recognized mints.
Numismatic and most collectible coins generally face heavy scrutiny from custodians due to valuation disputes and elevated markups. These higher premiums mean less actual metal ends up working inside the account.
Bullion avoids these issues. Its value links directly to verifiable spot prices, which simplifies reporting and lowers the risk of regulatory challenges. More of your IRA contribution purchases real metal instead of dealer profits or speculative upside. Over time, owning additional ounces that appreciate with the metal itself can create meaningful outperformance compared with high-premium alternatives that deliver fewer ounces.
Regulatory guidance from the CFTC and state securities offices repeatedly cautions against aggressive sales of expensive numismatics or “semi-numismatic” coins for IRAs. For retirement planning, transparent bullion from established providers reduces risk and aligns better with long-term goals.
How to Get Started with Bullion
Begin by clarifying your goals. Are you protecting savings in a safe, or moving part of a retirement account into a precious metals IRA? Focus on the number of ounces you can acquire at current prices rather than chasing marked-up collectibles.
Diversify sensibly: use gold for core preservation and silver for its blend of industrial and monetary qualities. Mix coins for easier divisibility with bars for lower per-ounce costs on larger buys. Arrange secure storage—whether at home with proper insurance or through professional facilities.
As economic uncertainties linger and faith in conventional assets erodes, bullion continues proving its worth as a dependable store of value. Its direct approach avoids the hype that sometimes surrounds collectible markets and keeps the focus on the metal itself.
For investors prepared to strengthen their portfolios, Advisor Bullion supplies the expertise and selection needed to acquire high-quality bullion efficiently. Whether building personal holdings or integrating metals into an IRA, their emphasis on transparent, investment-grade products helps secure more ounces today that support greater financial security tomorrow. In a complicated financial landscape, bullion’s clarity and reliability make it the smarter foundation for protecting what matters most.
If the citizens of EU countries, UK and US had to vote on whether to send their sons and brothers and fathers to war with Russia most would vote NO but sadly nearly all their politicians are really more interested in seeking to destroy Russia than work for peace.
Don’t know that it’s even about destroying Russsia … might be a nice, secondary benefit. Look at the countries banging the war drums the loudest. France, Germany, and UK. What do they have in common? Struggling economies, high unemployment, high crime rates due to rampant migration, government censorship, the outlawing of political parties, the smearing and cancellation of anyone that questions anything the government says, and a native population that’s had about enough of the twits running their country, and even more unhappy with the unelected corruptocrats in Brussels.
The war drums are playing a familiar tune — distract, distract, distract. The politicians think those drums have a good beat, and you can dance to it.
Notice that none of the states which border Russia are sounding a battle cry.
It’s the same nations that started WW1 & WW2 that again want a huge war.
Without the USA joining them, it is not NATO.
We have lost our minds. I stand with President Trump and his efforts at making peace. So many fools on both sides are sliding down the razor blade of escalation ending in nuclear war and the destruction of all life on planet Earth. We have lost our minds. America First! ULTRAMAGA!
Voldemort Zelenskyy and the corrupt European politicians who are pushing this nonsense, and making a ton of money off of it, need to be removed from power. Zelenskyy is an illegitimate ruler in Ukraine, his term expired and he is still there and refuses to hold elections , like the dictator he is. If Zelenskyy was gone tomorrow, things would improve quickly.
Get out of NATO, now!
Zelensky’s goal is to remain in power and reinstigate the oppression of Ethnic Russians in the Donbas – to the point of ethnically cleansing it.
Russia’s goal is to protect Russians in the Donbas, eliminate as many military age Ukies as possible – so it will take generations for them to recover their manpower, and turn the Ukraine into a neutral buffer state against continued NATO expansion.
Europe’s goal is to pressure Russia to a collapse and claim her resources – reminiscent of someone’s plan for leibenstraum in the 1930’s.
The US needs to reign in a Europe that is descending into authoritarianism and madness – and if need be, ally with Russia against the war mongers.
Do you think for a second that Russia doesn’t have the ability to destroy any facility in Ukraine in a heartbeat that could produce the weapons you describe above that could reach Moscow? And they can do so to Germany or France as well if they chose to join Ukraine in this battle. NATO support for Ukraine in this war is THE barrier to a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia. Ukraine has lost the war and a ton of its soldiers. The losing side is not the one that sets the terms for a settlement between two warring parties.
Past time to make non Russian Fukraine Extinct – Make it a Wasteland & Bomb everything of any significant value – make the rest of the Fukrainians leave to all the Other Barbarian Cuntries of Eurotrashland – Over 500 years of Colonial Warmongering Demonic Filth is coming to an end – time to meet your Master Satan Demonic Scum.
Why is the US in NATO. Get out of NATO and kick the UN out of New York.
A president that is truly interested in peace doesn’t keep funneling money and armaments to countries participating in the war effort! If countries wanted peace, all they had to do was to follow the Minsk agreement! Europe wants war because they’re broke! Neocons think that they’re going to be able to beat Russia, divide it up, and split up the $75 trillion worth of natural resources! Martin Armstrong’s Socrates computer says they’re to get their war, Ukraine will flatline, and the EU is going to bust apart!
NATO will lose! I don’t think it’s looking all that good for the US either!
