(End of the American Dream)—Are we about to see Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy sitting across from each other at a negotiating table in Turkey? It looks like that could actually happen this week.
If both leaders really do show up, there will be peace negotiations in Turkey starting on Thursday. But will these negotiations lead to peace, or will they lead to World War 3?
Western leaders were threatening to hit Russia with a new round of very harsh sanctions if the Russians did not agree to a 30 day ceasefire beginning on March 12th. In response, Russian President Vladimir Putin offered to start direct peace talks with Ukraine on May 15th…
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Sunday proposed direct talks with Ukraine on May 15 in Turkey that he said should be aimed at bringing a durable peace, an initiative welcomed by US President Donald Trump.
Some western leaders are suggesting that Putin is not serious about peace.
But to me, it definitely sounds like he is ready for substantial talks with the Ukrainians…
President Vladimir Putin said, according to a translation by the BBC: “We are determined to have serious negotiations with Ukraine. The purpose is to eliminate the root causes of the conflict and establish long-term, lasting peace with a historical perspective.
“We do not exclude that during these negotiations it will be possible to agree to some new truces, a new ceasefire. Moreover, a real ceasefire that would be observed not only by the Russian side, but also by the Ukrainian side.”
Surprisingly, it appears that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has accepted the offer to meet in Turkey on May 15th.
In a post on Twitter, Zelenskyy clearly stated that he “will be in Türkiye this Thursday”…
Starting tomorrow, we await a ceasefire — this proposal is on the table. A full and unconditional ceasefire, one that lasts long enough to provide a necessary foundation for diplomacy, could significantly bring peace closer. Ukraine has long proposed this, our partners are proposing it, and the whole world is calling for it. We await a clear response from Russia.
Russia will have to end this war anyway. The killings must stop. Ukrainian forces will be ready to respond symmetrically— to ensure fairness. We have repeatedly heard from our partners that they are prepared to strengthen sanctions against Russia if Putin rejects a ceasefire. Time will tell.
Here in Ukraine, we have absolutely no problem engaging in negotiations, we are ready for any format. I will be in Türkiye this Thursday, May 15, and I expect Putin to come to Türkiye as well. Personally. And I hope that this time, Putin won’t be looking for excuses as to why he “can’t” make it.
We are ready to talk, to end this war. Thursday. Türkiye. President Trump has expressed support. All the leaders support this.
Just getting Putin and Zelenskyy into the same room would be a monumental achievement.
I think that Zelenskyy agreed to go to Turkey due to pressure from President Trump. After Putin proposed the meeting in Turkey, President Trump went on Truth Social and strongly urged the Ukrainians to accept…
President Putin of Russia doesn’t want to have a Cease Fire Agreement with Ukraine, but rather wants to meet on Thursday, in Turkey, to negotiate a possible end to the BLOODBATH. Ukraine should agree to this, IMMEDIATELY. At least they will be able to determine whether or not a deal is possible, and if it is not, European leaders, and the U.S., will know where everything stands, and can proceed accordingly! I’m starting to doubt that Ukraine will make a deal with Putin, who’s too busy celebrating the Victory of World War ll, which could not have been won (not even close!) without the United States of America. HAVE THE MEETING, NOW!!!
I never imagined that we would see a day when the fate of the world was being negotiated on social media.
But this is the world that we live in now.
President Trump recognized that getting the Russians and the Ukrainians to negotiate with one another was the right move, and I am so glad that it looks like it is actually going to happen.
But the truth is that reaching an agreement to end the war will be nearly impossible.
The Russians want Ukraine to agree to never join NATO, they want zero NATO troops in Ukraine once the war is over, they want to keep all the territory they have already taken, and they want the Ukrainians to hand over the remaining territory in the four regions that Russia has annexed that the Russians do not currently occupy.
The Ukrainians are not likely to agree to any of those conditions.
The Ukrainians are determined to join NATO, they want hundreds of thousands of NATO troops to “keep the peace” in Ukraine once the war is over, they will never recognize Russian sovereignty over the areas that Russia has conquered, and there is no way that they are going to simply give the Russians additional territory that the Russians do not currently possess.
Hopefully I am wrong, but I believe that these negotiations will ultimately fail.
As President Trump has stated, if negotiations fail his administration “will know where everything stands, and can proceed accordingly”.
This is our one chance at peace with Russia.
We must not blow it.
Sadly, it appears that our one chance at peace with Iran is already gone.
The Iranians insist that they must be allowed to continue to enrich uranium, and they will not budge from that position.
President Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff says that this is not acceptable to the United States under any circumstances.
According to Witkoff, a nuclear enrichment program “can never exist in the state of Iran ever again”…
In an interview published on Friday, Witkoff stated that an enrichment program “can never exist in the state of Iran ever again.”
“That’s our red line. No enrichment. That means dismantlement, it means no weaponization, and it means that Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan, those are their three enrichment facilities, have to be dismantled,” he said.
Witkoff added he thinks Iranians “have no choice” but to accept the position of Trump against enrichment. “Obviously, they can say no, and they can test President Trump, but I think that would be an unwise thing to do.”
The Trump administration was really hoping that Iran would back down.
But that was never going to happen.
So it is just a matter of time before the bombing of Iran’s nuclear program begins.
As I have repeatedly warned, that will spark an apocalyptic conflict in the Middle East unlike anything we have ever seen before.
To a very large degree, 2025 will be defined by what is going to happen in the Middle East in the months ahead, and I am convinced that it won’t be too long before events start to spiral out of control in a major way.

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
Ok Mr. Snyder, you’ve planted your flag on the hill you’re going to die on. When none of these “apocalyptic’ predictions take place, I hope this will be the last we see of your hyperbolic click bait articles on liberty daily.
You should probably read Ezekiel 38 and 39. Then maybe you wouldn’t be so ignorant.
“The land of unwalled villages, having neither bars nor gates…” Ha, ha, where is that? Certainly not counterfeit “Israel.”
Mr. Snyder seems to think that Iran has the military capability to confront the United States and win. That’s just comical! Do United States could flatten the entire country of Iran within a few days. There would be no more government no more cities no more towns no more military no more military bases no more nuclear facilities, no more food. No more water no more no more no more. And I absolutely guarantee that if they suck one of our aircraft carriers in the region, there would be a nuclear event afterwards. Actually, I’m looking forward all this. Iran needs eliminated. God bless America and God bless President Trump!
Do a little more research Dave. Iran has developed over the horizon radar. It has a stockpile of missiles that can flatten Israel, every American base in the region,and sink all of the US ships in the region. Those missiles are buried underground. The only way the US “wins” is with nuclear weapons. If the US goes nuclear, do you think Pakistan, which has offered to provide nukes to others in the region, won’t step up?
It’s fridge magnet patriots like you that are America’s problem. Iran is no threat to the US and never has been. Iran, unlike Israel, is a Non-Proliferation Treaty signatory. It has voluntarily allowed the most extensive IAEA inspections of any NPT signatory, and, unlike the US with its “lost” nukes, and refusal to allow inspections, in compliance with the Treaty. The sooner the US takes a gigantic dose of Ivermectin to rid itself of the Zionist parasite, the better off it will be.
I happen to agree with Mr Snyder, he’s a realist. It’s easy to dismiss the train barreling down the track to the bridge that is out, while passengers are yelling stop to those who won’t listen. We are there now, the divide and Hatred has reached the point where it is impossible to stop. Get right with God, and prepare for the worst you’ve got nothing to lose by doing so.
Not all wars are bad. After the western color revolution in Ukraine in 2014, I’d like to see Ukraine completely returned to Russia. All of it. It would be a good buffer for Russia from the batsh*t crazy west that seems to have been infested by some sort of mindless zombie.
As far as Iran, when the US/Israel starts the war, I hope that Israel disappears. Not much chance of that because Iran does not have the badger-style leadership required to launch a buzzsaw into the face of their enemies …..
if if it comes to fruition, who cares? you libtards always scream about the end of the earth and how you want to control it….bitches, control your fake tranny periods first. fools
Poop’n will never give in unless Ukraine is made a buffer State with no military aid from the West. Ukraine will never give in to be disarmed and invaded at will by the communist Poop’n ever again and that’s where it stands.
It is said the egro sodomite obeymmie (being used as a puppet by the war mongers) and bull clinton had them disarmed which is why we are in the position we are in today.
what is absurd is that they want the clown to discuss terms when it was the collective north american terrorists that induced a money hungry comedian to pretend to be a leader of a suicide mission. putin has nothing to say to the puppet.
