The New Sea People

Note: Behind the green door, there is a post about the clash between the formal and informal rules in Washington, a post on the new world order, a video from the new studio and the Sunday podcast. Subscribe here or here.


This week Marco Rubio will meet with Russian officials to kick-off what Western media is calling Ukraine peace talks, but should properly be called normalization talks, as in the normalization of relations between Russia and America. The topic of Ukraine will be a part of the process, but not the focus of it. This is something that both sides have said regarding the hour-long talk between Trump and Putin. It was about much more than the war in Ukraine and how to end it.

This is what gets missed in Western media coverage. They are still operating by the old system where everything revolved around Ukraine. It was the lens through which all diplomatic relations were conducted. The new way of doing things is for the major powers to have a framework within which they can work out issues of common interest and settle issues where they are in dispute. For that to happen they must rebuild diplomatic relations between the major countries.

This is why Europe is not included. The EU is not a real place. It is a vague concept that has no sovereign authority. Ursula von der Leyen imagines herself as the empress of Europe, a managerial version of Napoleon, but in reality, she is a bureaucrat who failed up into a position that probably should not exist. As for the major powers of Europe, they will eventually play a role in the new security architecture, but they need to join everyone else in the 21st century before that can happen.

There is another reason the Europeans have been shut out from the talks. It is clear that they do not want anything to change. For them, the new world order is an existential threat so they will do what they can to booger up the process. Amazingly, the Trump people anticipated this. That was one reason for the one-two punch delivered by Hegseth and Vance last week. It has the Europeans reeling, and they are unprepared to do anything about the meetings between Russia and America.

This is right out of the Trump business handbook. The Trump organization was infamous for operating like a whirlwind. Once they got into a deal, they moved so fast and in so many directions, the rest of the parties had no choice but to go along with what they were doing. Not every Trump deal was a smashing success, but all of them were Trump deals and Trump got what he wanted from them. That is clearly what they are doing with regards to the Russia talks.

The other thing you see here is the deliberate minimalization of Ukraine dictator Zelensky by the Trump people. They do not treat him like an equal or even as a European head of state. Instead, he is being treated like a subordinate. He flew to Qatar thinking he could weasel his way into the talks in Saudi Arabia but was told that he would not be invited. Someone might call him if the Trump team felt the need to inform him of anything that happened in the talks.

This is part of the process of minimizing Ukraine. Instead of it being the top priority of the American government, it is now one of many issues that must be discussed between the great powers, once there is a process in place. It may be why the Brits have started to blame Zelensky for squandering the weapons given to him. It has dawned on them that for Trump, Ukraine is not going to be a priority. Now it is time for the political class in the UK to catch up and get with the new program.

Of course, the Russians are clearly uninterested in changing course in Ukraine without resolving the root causes of the war, so they will fight on, even as they are working with the Trump people. The Russians are old school and look at the battlefield as part of the negotiating table, so something like a ceasefire is for the end of the process, not something to be traded away in the middle. This means every day the situation for Ukraine grows worse and thus better for Russia.

That may not be so bad for Team Trump. If Zelensky were to suddenly turn up dead or deposed, replaced by a new ruler free of past errors, the Trump team would have more options as far as working out a peace deal. It is why they keep insisting on elections as soon as possible. Everyone knows that elections mean the end of Zelensky, so the sooner there are elections, the sooner the world is free of the little green man who has held the West captive for three years.

Another fascinating aspect of this revolution in global arrangements is the usual suspects have been marginalized. The attack on the financial superstructure is one reason for it. You cannot rent a mob to make loud noises in front of the media if you no longer have billions from the blob to pay for them. More important, the assault on the administrative state has the media spinning, so they are ignoring the usual suspects, leaving them to complain amongst themselves.

What knits it all together is the Trump whirlwind. The reason there has been so much progress in a short period of time is there are so many things happening in so many places, the “resistance” does not have time to figure out what is happening to them, much less organize to defeat it. The first month of Trump 2.0 has been the most exciting period in politics since FDR’s first one hundred days. It is like the Sea People swarming the brittle empires of the Bronze Age.

That is, perhaps, the way to look at this. Over the last thirty years the troubles for the managerial regime built up to the point where they were facing a tidal wave of enemies, but thought they had them under control. Once the walls were breached, those enemies are flowing in, and they are not interested in having a meeting of the executive steering committee to plan meetings for how to proceed. Like the Sea Peoples, the enemies of the managerial state just want to dismantle it.

I’m starting to feel a bit better because Trump appears to have learned alot over the past 5 years about realpolitik and deep state machinations. So far he’s not acting like the AIPAC lackey he campaigned as but as the textbook corporate “disrupter”. The high speed activity is critical because he’s got less than 18 months before the Cuckpublicans surrender one house of Congress to the Dems so as to maintain “muh conservative values”

There is nothing the cucks love more than being the opposition. This way they can cluck and crow about their conservative values without having to actually do anything to promote and defend those “values.” Their voting record is perfect when their vote doesn’t matter. The second their vote actually matters and is the difference between a pass and a fail, they cuck and vote with the left.

Trump seems to be anticipating this, too. He has already made some announcements about 2026. And I think we’re going to see policing of those elections that will make shenanigans very risky.

The Senate is now safe. McConnell’s temper tantrums illustrate this. He not only failed to stop anyone, he went over and shook hands with Democrats afterwards. That puts all Republicans in a very bad position in terms of opposing Trump.

Back in 2015 got seated next to a director at a Board dinner who’d been the senior workout guy at Citi in the way back. He got handed one of Trump’s casino messes to manage and found exactly this. Trump had his guys negotiating with line bankers while he dropped bombs on every executive level Citi guy he could reach. By time it was done Trump had senior secured rates and terms without the loans truly being either senior or fully secured and with minimal default rights to Citi. Larry hated Trump, but grudgingly admired how they’d been outmaneuvered.

But, yeah, it was not the technocrats but the duly elected and unelected leadership that decided to commit suicide. The bawling German minister at the ludicrous “security conference” is the ultimate symbol of the pathological narcissism that led to this point.

We still haven’t figured out Trump’s true position on the JQ yet, though. Ukraine was a Jewish neocon project, and clearly he’s bringing that to an end. He has talked a lot of shit on Iran and Gaza but nonetheless seems to be wary of Netanyahu and wary of getting sucked into Israel’s Zionist expansionism. Normalization of relations with Russia also brings normalization with the country that supported Israel’s enemy Syria.

“Nobody” is doing a lot of work there. The only reason Britain might avoid doing this, and it applies to the United States as well, is that the manpower shortage would require a draft and there would be massive rioting.

He doesn’t have a capable and well-armed army. He’s just talking through his ass — empty bluff and bravado — and everyone knows it. The mouse who wanted to roar.

You would think that getting their asses kicked when they sent troops into France over Poland in 1940 would have taught them something, but noooo.

Maybe Uncle A shouldn’t have spared them at Dunkirk…

The treatment of Zelensky now reminds me of a 2016 election post mortem I read. Shortly after the election a group of well connected Never Trumpers had gotten together to discuss how to co-opt the incoming Trump Administration. Not long after they started Evan McMullin walks in and starts ranting about various topics. Finally, one of them says, “who invited this guy” and they quietly get rid of him. Zelensky is the Evan McMullin of Europe. Trump should start calling him that, and we would probably get the war ended sooner.

Europe is an American colony in the post-World War 2 era. All one has to do is look at the number of U.S. military bases on European soil to understand the dynamic. They are irrelevant. Re: Ukraine, Zman sees Russia as resistant to the Western-dominated global world order, while I believe Putin is just as much controlled by the higher international financial layers as Trump and the West are, discussed here. A couple of years ago the (now imprisoned) Russian dissident Igor Strelkov issued a sharp list of pointed questions about the nature of the so-called war, questions you can… Read more »

While some of this is plausible, I’m hardly the first person to predict that whoever comes after Putin will be just as nationalist if not moreso. Seems unlikely he would allow Russia to be carved up. And if that’s the plan, for the Russian leadership to allow this to happen to Russia, why hasn’t Putin allowed it? Why wait for the next guy? Certainly many interests in the west would be happy with him for doing so.

Agreed. The West had their turkey carvers in Russia in the 90s. Putin sent the ones he liked least packing. Why would he do that if they had what they already wanted? Aside from these plot holes, there is also the issue of cartels gaming accords. Essentially, the entire power structure are cooperating globalists theory amounts to a unified international cartel. That doesn’t say that this structure doesn’t exist. It does. Such accords are subject to exploitation and gaming, and that is perhaps one thing we have witnessed with China and the US and Russia. It was all fine and… Read more »

Tend to agree JZ. If the goal for Putin is to have Russia carved up then he could have easily accomplished that by continuing the Yeltsin policies.

The Sea Peoples analogy is a good one. The Bronze Age palace economies never saw them coming. The Blob made enemies it didn’t know it had.

Still, the devil is in the details. Trump is going to want a meaningful concession from Putin, if only for the sake of his own ego, and Vlad may not be in a generous mood.

And the Eurocrats, utterly controlled by the “City of London”, are insane.

They’re not major anymore. They can be dismissed with contempt by both the USA and Russia. This is part of a very long term process in which the influence and reach of the old European powers has been declining. The decline is on-going.

Trump has learned, or maybe just has it in his DNA, to distract in one direction (look squirrel!) while actually moving in another direction…Bibi is learning that first hand…Vance, RFK, etc are the truth tellers, while Trump retains freedom of movement, since he can always disavow their statements if they become inconvenient…Look what happened to General Keller…..

Clearly Trump is on a mission. Getting shot in the ear by a rifle bullet traveling 2800 fps will do that to you. And a random head turn is all that kept him from becoming pink mist, so he likely believes God is on his side. Damn-the-torpedoes time. Putin understands this and is covertly helping Trump because he too had to fight and win against his own oligarchs. A deal will be done, and everyone (including Europe) will be the better for it. The neocons killed a million normie white guys in Ukraine. They should pay dearly for that.

1. You’re talking about Zelensky like the little schlong comedian has any power. He was installed by Victoria Nuland in the gang. He is irrelevant. 2. Ukraine really needs to cut away those Catholic provinces in the west. They are the source of all the friction. They are the ones who want to cozy up with the West. Let the West have them. 3. Europe is clueless. They had the Great Satan fighting their wars and like-minded people in the Great Satan’s government. Russia is no more going to allow a hostile takeover of Ukraine by the West than we… Read more »

As for the major powers of Europe, they will eventually play a role in the new security architecture, but they need to join everyone else in the 21st century before that can happen.

Unless Europe kicks out a few million stupid, parasitic, violent migrants, there won’t be any major powers left there to be part of a security architecture. I wish the UK and France would get rid of their nuclear weapons before the Muslims completely take over both countries.

The USAID and other revelations are showing that politics are all a stage play carefully scripted by players behind the scenes. Right now we are probably in the beginning of Act 2 and don’t know what will happen in Act 3. Two is the more interesting disclosures I have seen in the last week are: 1. A lot of the anti islam propaganda in Europe is reportedly funded by the UAE who see Islamicists as a threat. 2. Tom Cotton, Mr Conservative, is on the board of a globalist/leftist NGO. Not surprisingly he is trying to sabotage Trump’s pick for… Read more »

“…the sooner there are elections, the sooner the world is free of the little green man [ Zelensky ] who has held the West captive for three years.” This may be a cavil on my part but this is a rare example of Z not not labeling things as they are. Zelensky was at best a figurehead, a puppet played by our so-called neocons. In any just world, those people would would have already faced the firing squad or be hanging at the end of a rope. That’s probably too much to wish for. How do we remove such behind… Read more »

The Vance speech was an odd moment. It suggests that someone in the administration really understands the EU (because whoever it is agrees with me): NATO “geopolitical” postures are, no matter what actual war-like events may arise from them (they don’t care), matters of domestic repression. Not true of the neocons, though they do enjoy wartime speech restrictions, and they make sure it’s always wartime. What they really want is to see the dead citizen number go up, and the rest is secondary—or fun. But the political layer of the EU, the visible managerial face of intelligence/business/etc., wants only obedience—a… Read more »

Exactly. Exhibit A is USAID. Remember the criticism of Red China because it charged the family of the executed for the bullet? How is that any different than requiring taxpayers to pay for the rape and murder of their children and their dispossession?
