The last few posts I have been focussing on Europe and the Ukraine situation. There are major works in the process not only to resolve this matter but what will happen in Europe and the world beyond.
A New World Order is rising. To replace the last New World Order which arose out of the famous Yalta Conference (1945) just before the end of the Second World War. The Yalta Conference was a meeting between the leaders of the Allied powers. Its purpose was to plan the future of Europe and establish peace after the defeat of Nazi Germany.
The three main participants were President Roosevelt of the United States; Winston Churchill, Prime Minister of Britain; and Joseph Stalin, leader of the Soviet Union. The conference was held at the Livadia Palace in Yalta, Crimea (Russia), from 4 to 11 February 1945. Without a doubt all three were superpowers at that time. The United States was a scientific, military and economic superpower. The British were a scientific, military superpower and a world empire - althought getting old and tired. The Soviet Union was a scientific, military superpower and (counting the communist countries in Europe) controlled almost 16% of the world's land area. There were no other countries or leaders who came close to the power and the might of the US, Britain and the Soviet Union.
The three world leaders discussed how to defeat Germany, divide Germany into occupation zones after the war, and establish the United Nations to promote international peace and security. They also discussed the future of Poland and other European countries, as well as the Soviet Union's role in the war against Japan.
The Yalta conference took place because the Allies wanted to coordinate their final military efforts and agree on how Europe would be governed after the war. The three leaders negotiated and reached agreements through meetings involving their military commanders, diplomats and advisers.
The Yalta Conference helped shape the post-war world and laid the groundwork for the establishment of the United Nations. It did not relieve tensions between the Western powers and the Soviet Union, which led to the Cold War which lasted for 44 years until 1989.
There is going to be another Yalta type meeting on November 19th 2026 in China. A three-way meeting will be held between Russian President Vladimir Putin, US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping.
The summit will be separate and take place outside the APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting in Shenzhen, China on 18–19 November 2026.
Mr Putin will want an outcome to the war in Ukraine. Mr Trump will pursue diplomatic negotiations to end the war and also manage wider security and economic tensions in the Middle East plus the US sanctions against Russia and China (which does not benefit the US and does not harm Russia or China).
Mr Xi Jinping has to play the host plus China is now almost the No. 1 military and economic superpower. Plus the Chinese and Russian economies have become inseparable.
Mr Putin wants to end the war in Ukraine. He will keep the Russian speaking areas, the cities and towns in Ukraine founded by Russian Empress Catherine the Great (1762). Catherine was a German princess who married the future Russian Emperor Peter III. In 1762 she deposed her husband and became Empress of Russia.
Mr Trump said on 19 October that he wants to focus on denuclearisation, trade and other issues. Iran and the wider Middle East could become background horse trading issues, part of a wider package. The Ukraine settlement requires agreement about territory, security guarantees, easing up US sanctions and maintaining a ceasefire.
The European people are getting tired over the Ukraine war. Ms Marine Le Pen in France has said the following:
1. France cannot keep financing Ukraine, presidential candidate Marine Le Pen says Thursday, 15th October 2026
2. "We can no longer do this": Le Pen opposes further financial support for Ukraine October 16 2026
Marine Le Pen said that after winning in 2027, she would end financial aid to Ukraine within six months. She is also opposed to Ukraine joining the EU.
So France and Germany will be out of the Ukraine war soon. The future of NATO and the EU is now uncertain. Only the little politicians from the little countries in Europe are becoming hysterical because minus NATO or the EU there will be less grand balls and annual dinners where they can play dress up.
This time around there is a vast difference between the Yalta Conference of 1945 and the Summit between Mr Putin, Mr Trump and Mr Xi Jinping in Shenzhen. In 1945 the US was a democracy, a scientific marvel, a military and economic superpower. Britain still wanted to keep its colonial possessions. In 1917 Russia and the USSR had just converted to the new religion of communism. And within 28 years communism controlled 16% of the world's land area from Lithunia to Siberia. Surely communism must be the godless gift to mankind. So Yalta in 1945 was a meeting between three widely different superpowers - the only common factor was that all three leaders were white.
In Shenzhen all three leaders represent free market, capitalist countries. Two of them Russia and China opted out of their religion of communism which lasted 72 years in Russia and only about 40 years in China. All three Russia, China and the US are ardent believers in free trade, open economies and basically the capitalist system. This is the main difference from 1945. And the world's almost no 1 super power is non white.
The outcome of this meeting could set the stage for great cooperation, peace and prosperity in the world for the next 50 years. In the United States it is most likely that the next president will also be a Republican. If it is not Mr Donald Trump, there is growing enthusiasm for Marco Rubio becoming the next American president. There are strong suggestions that Donald Trump will be allowed to run for president again.
Western Europe is in a phase of what-am-I, who-am-I, do you know where I am going to and that type of confusion. The rest of the world (South America, Africa, large chunks of Asia) will remain exotic. The Arab and Islamic countries will remain confused, chaotic, corrupt, violent and murderous.
"Saya tak menafikan memang setiap kali tangkapan dibuat memang ada penggunaan kekerasan yang minima terhadap semua tangkapan. That one is common.." - Ketua Polis Kuala Lumpur Datuk Fadil Marsus.

MY COMMENTS:
Dalam video berikut pula (minit 6:24 hingga minit 6:43) kita semua perlu dengar satu frank and honest comment oleh Ketua Polis Kuala Lumpur Datuk Fadil Marsus berucap dengan jelas "Saya tak menafikan memang setiap kali tangkapan dibuat memang ada penggunaan kekerasan yang minima terhadap semua tangkapan. That one is common.."
Jadi kalau ada sebarang pampasan yang bakal dibayar kepada keluarga / waris orang yang meninggal saya cadangkan potong gaji Menteri KDN, potong gaji IGP dan potong gaji semua pegawai Polis yang bertanggungjawab untuk membayar pampasan itu. Jangan guna dana awam atau taxpayers money.
Kalau kesilapan itu terbukti berada kepada pihak Polis, dan pampasan ditetapkan oleh mahkamah atau oleh undang-undang negara then why should the taxpayers have to foot the bill for your foolishness?
Kalau awak buat salah, awak bayarlah. Kenapa pula orang awam dibebankan untuk tutup kesalahan awak?
MS 13 adalah gangster hardcore Latino, jenis yang tak takut mati. Tapi masih boleh ditangkap, disiasat, di-interrogate, dibawa ke-muka pengadilan Mahkamah dan dijatuhkan hukuman. Tidak ada seekor pun binatang buas MS13 itu mati dalam tahanan. No deaths in custody.
(OSTB: I believe this means Russia is back into the SWIFT payments system for US Dollar settlements).
OSTB: US media is saying that not all US sanctions against Russia have been suspended. Well Russia may still not be able to import American airplanes and motor vehicles but who cares.
This also means that the freeze on Russian assets held in the West are over.
It also places a dead stop to the efforts by the EU to liquidate seized Russian assets and use the money to pay themselves for supplying weapons to Ukraine.
But there are other much more significant issues at stake. NATO is effectively dead. If the founder and most important member of NATO has done a 180 degree U-turn against hostility towards Russia it means the rest of NATO can continue fighting Russia on their own.
It also places the EU governments in a really silly position. EU oil traders, EU banks and EU investors would have already started trading and investment activities with Russia. The Russian stock markets have been booming the past few days - undoubtedly caused by inflows of funds from Europe as well as the United States. The EU countries are now neck deep in a huge pool of hypocrisy - something with which they are terribly familiar.
Alice Weidell leader of the AfD presently the most popular party in Germany and most likely the next German Chancellor has said it plainly that when the AfD comes to power Germany will resume all trade and relations with Russia.
In France Marine Le Pen who is far ahead of all other candidates to be the next president of France has also expressed common sense views towards Russia.
Le Pen has advocated withdrawing France from NATO's integrated military command.
She wants to end French financial aid to Ukraine.
She opposes Ukraine joining the EU.
Which means she certainly opposes Ukraine joining NATO
The US has already stopped supplying Patriot missiles to Ukraine. Claiming that the US needs to maintain their own stocks of Patriots (for Saudi Arabia, UAE and Israel).
All this will have a huge effect on the war in Ukraine. One of the main hurdles preventing a peace deal - that Ukraine be allowed to join NATO - has become quite nonsensical. What if the United States pulls out of NATO? Which is what Mr Trump has actually done. He does not care about NATO. America First.
So far Mr Trump has faced THREE assassination attempts in three years.
1. 13 July 2024 — Butler, Pennsylvania: A gunman shot Trump in the ear during a campaign rally. One attendee was killed and two others were injured.
2. 15 September 2024 — West Palm Beach, Florida: A Secret Service agent spotted an armed suspect near Trump’s golf course before Trump was harmed. The incident was investigated as an assassination attempt.
3. 25 April 2026 — Washington, D.C.: An armed man attempted to enter the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner, where Trump was present. Shots were fired, and Trump was evacuated unharmed. Authorities arrested the suspect.
Many very rich and powerful people will be very pissed off with Mr Trump's decisions. I think Ms Weidell and Ms Le Pen should also take extra precautions for their safety.
