What ties these five trends together is Trump’s historic return to the presidency, his successful purge of the “deep state” that enabled him to pursue his long-sought “New Détente” with Russia, and Putin’s receptiveness to his American counterpart’s grand strategic plan of a comprehensive partnership.
You shouldn’t be so quick to herald Trump’s successful purge of the deep state, Andrew. One could plausibly argue that what he (Trump) has done thus far is merely pick the proverbial low hanging fruit in the intelligence services, the military and the civil service - i.e.those hiding in plain sight within those three core components of the deep state - thereby possibly forestalling a coup against Trump, perhaps the first of many to come.
After all the deep state isn’t deep for nothing. It’s been around for decades, burrowing ever deeper into those three organs of state, probably with the covert help of the British, with whom they have a reciprocal relationship devoted to the same objective in the UK. Moreover, he hasn’t yet gone after the bankers. The ace in the hole for any deep state, anywhere.
I think Trump hinted at one next step when he talked about auditing Ft. Knox gold, etc. hinted at gold revaluation, etc. I suspect the first step has to be stopping the propaganda machine before all else, but I do believe he will get to where the real (usurped) power behind the state lies. Trump’s moves with Putin and maybe even Xi could be revelatory- do they all have a collective interest in a war against the deep state?
I would be surprised if there weren’t deep states within Russia and China. Nor would I be surprised if they didn’t communicate with the five eyes and EU.
Duh 🙄 the bankers are the deep state Trump better watch his step … deep state bankers don’t like their money 💰 messed with…UK and USA Zionist Freemason money 💰 they run the world who is kidding who 🤷🏼♀️
Trump has rightly indicated that America's best course for the future is to disengage from Europe and promote a new co-operative vision within the Americas for a North/South continental stability. As a result of US withdrawal: first, NATO will disband and second, the EU will revert to individual nation states with their traditional borders, languages, cultures and economies and trading activities. No individual European state will have the power to overcome it's neighbour and therefore, in time, Europe will become demilitarised. Russia has no wish to invade or dominate European or mid-Asian nations. Militaristic dominance drains the economy and the citizens of the dominant nation and always fails as human capital and material resources collapse. Russia knows this. USA must also dis-engage from the Middle East and allow local geopolitical influences to resolve issues there by negotiation and detente. The changes so described above are long over-due: since the cessation of the "Cold War" Western globalists have imposed hegemonic dominance and as predicted this has failed.
Of course a great deal of bribery and blackmail smoothed the way, but in the end it was the abysmal failure of Europe to stand up for their voters that caused all of this.
British voters knew something was up and demanded Brexit but of course the British elites were even more loyal to US interference than the European elites.
Trump sent Vance to Germany and when he delivered that speech it showed the US is done with Europe. The EU and European countries have done nothing but fine the shit out of our tech companies all the while tweaking laws to keep draining their cash cow. The globalists kept censoring their own people with laws enforced on our tech companies which was encroaching on our free speech here. Had Kamala won it would’ve been the end of our grand experiment as she was in on the scam too. The Dems are screaming because they got caught and the more investigations that happen it’s going to show how they were in cahoots to handing over the US to the Globalists. Schwaub and his ilk like Soros and Gates have lost. They can’t be outed enough and need to be thrown out of the US. Gates is a US citizen so he should be punished until his money is gone and Soros and his kid just flat out banned and his radio stations stripped and his dark money frozen. America is back and the screaming Dems can die with the globalists. Thank God for Trump.
One hopes you are right. I care about cutting spending but if they don’t prosecute the criminals you mention, it’s not enough as they’ll just wait till Trump’s term is over and return.
If it is to have "Civilizational states" run by plutocrats, I will pass, thank you very much. And I would rather eat dirt than to have such a "Civilizational state" incorporate Canada...
Now, I am not for DEI and identity politics, but I do agree with Plato that inequality is the greatest of the plagues on the face of humanity. And Trump will do nothing to aleviate that. On the contrary, he will accentuate it.
As such, I would rather have the world/humanity go up in flames than allow the vision of the technobros come to life.
Trump's foreign policy is just a smokescreen to buy time for the U.S. empire to pursue world domination. just like this YouTube video confirms: The US-EU "Division of Labor" to Continue Confronting Russia & China - https://youtu.be/Fuq900YIlp8?si=hhGLnxUWxoWEvVls
I really enjoy reading your insights and the fact you’re Moscow based gives another perspective. One point I must make though is that Trump is not purging the deep state, he and his oligarchical ilk are in this for the money and power. Oh and revenge driven by paranoia.
Talking of Trumps successful purge of the “deep state” is premature. The deep state is more like the operating system that runs the various characters you are referring to but exists independently of them.
I've followed the SMO from the start. Working from the premise that what governments say are what they want you to believe, something that may have little truth in it, I started doing my own research. I developed good sources early on and you are one of the early ones. However, I found you even more valuable for your commentary on the aspects of Asian politics that none of my other sources covered. I read your material daily. I particularly like your analysis of the Russian politics around Ukraine.
This is another thoughtful and well considered piece by Korybko looking at the US Russia situation since the Trump election.
Thanks a lot!
Your reporting is always a fresh balance to mainstream parroting, thank you. With your summary I feel hope.
Thank you very much!

Ceding sovereignty is a good way of putting it.
Of course a great deal of bribery and blackmail smoothed the way, but in the end it was the abysmal failure of Europe to stand up for their voters that caused all of this.

If Trump and Putin can cooperate to achieve these goals good but it is best to remember Psalm 146:3
Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

Thanks for this excellent summary! I'm hoping you can explore how far Trump is going to get with his attempt to cull the deep state.
He's governing by EO ATM, but how far will Congress let him go?
State and the MIC is the home of the deep state, so I'm really interested in this.
My opinion - it will define his term.
Successful purge of the deep state? Whatever you’re smoking I want a hit.
Fine but Canada will remain free. A Canuck.
Deep state gone, that's deep, real deep, more like reshuffling the deck chairs on the Titanic
