Ex presidenter som har samtaler med statsledere skjer hele tiden, Obama har hatt flere med mange.
Tingen er det blir spekulasjoner og basisen er basert på løgn fra sist valgkamp. Men når utgangspunktet for diskusjonen er at du tilegner folk meninger så blir det vanskelig å ha en saklig diskusjon.
Skjønner ikke helt hva du sier her. Hvem er dømt? Trumprådgivere? De som stod bak russiagate? Det er er vel ingen tvil om at Russland prøvde å blande seg inn i valget og fikk assistanse fra Trump-rådgivere.
Fra siste Muller-rapporten i august 2020: The Committee report found that the Russian government had engaged in an “extensive campaign” to sabotage the election in favor of Trump, which included assistance from some of Trump’s own advisers.

Old news, og norsk media henger etter som vanlig.
Men ja, Nato og EU har en utfordring nå som de sålangt ikke har svart tilfredstillende på.
Ærlig talt. Dette ble umiddelbart beklaget og korrigert fra min side.

According to Yonhap news agency, North Korea has sent 12,000 troops, including special forces, to support Russia’s war in Ukraine, per their source in South Korea’s Intelligence. This aligns with an earlier statement from Ukraine’s military intelligence (GUR).
If accurate, this means nearly a corps-sized force from North Korea is aiding Russia in its invasion of a European country.
Meanwhile, on October 16, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz expressed his willingness to discuss a “just peace” in Ukraine with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
This not only appears weak but also reinforces Putin’s belief that Western leadership is too divided and fragile to sustain a united front for the long haul.
After all, both Europe and the U.S. have poured substantial resources into this war, depleting their weapon and ammunition stocks. From Russia’s perspective, its successes on the battlefield aren’t just victories over Ukraine but over the combined economies and production capacities of the West.Some may argue that Russia turning to North Korea shows how desperate its situation is. Perhaps it does, but the fact remains: Russia is finding new sources of manpower.
And who is stepping up for Ukraine? While Russia pulls in thousands of troops from North Korea, Ukraine is asked to mobilize its smallest demographic, sacrificing its future, while Western nations debate whether they should contribute even a fraction of their GDP.
U.S. foreign policy is somewhat paralyzed by the upcoming elections, and much of Europe remains inactive, ignoring the fact that North Korean soldiers are about to fight in a European war.
They rationalize it away - it’s not an EU country, not a NATO member, not our problem.
French President Macron once talked about sending troops to Ukraine, but it never moved beyond words. Meanwhile, Kim Jong-un made no announcements - he simply sent a corps-sized force to help Russia.
China is watching. Iran is watching. The Global South is watching. And what do they see? They see a U.S. too focused on internal political discord and even a failure protect its own interests in the Strait of Aden, despite being the world’s sole naval guarantor of secure trade. I am not even talking about Europe which is even more interested in that. At the same time, European leaders like Scholz are pursuing peace with Putin out of a reluctance to stand for their values or security interests
If you can’t see how this weakness will reshape the global security landscape, and if North Korean soldiers in Europe aren’t enough of a wake-up call, then I doubt anything will make the West to act, even to protect itself.
Min uthevelse og jeg tenker at hver gang vesten bare ser på, uten å reagere, uten å agere, så har det ført til eskalering.

Kanskje fordi Obama er en trivelig type som kan være interessant å prate med?
Tviler litt på att putler skulle ha interesse av å diskutere vindmøller, golf og byggetekniske forskrifter, og Obama stiller heller ikke til valg.

Ser flere trakk frem Logan act på X også, var veldig mye gode kommentarer på hvorfor den ikke betyr noe eller er relevant her.
Men dersom boken til Woodwark sin bok stemmer og Washington helt seriøst har jobbet for å unngå atomkrig, så vil det være helt naturlig at mange prater med ulike kilder via uoffisielle og offisielle kanaler.
Personlig ser jeg samtalene mellom Trump og Putin som en ikke sak frem til det faktisk dukker opp noe håndfast som sier noe annet.
Enda mer utydelige krav fra Lavrov.
No NATO membership. Neutral status and restoration of rights of the “Russian” population, - Lavrov put forward demands to Ukraine
Tenker at Ukraina sin trussel om å skaffe atomvåpen er et problem for Moskva. ( siden det var VELDIG mye rykter på 90 og 2000 tallet at Nord Korea har kjøpt mye av sin kunnskap på både balistikk og atomvåpen fra nettop Ukrainske forskere uten jobb, Så håper jeg personlig at de har nok kompetanse til å skru sammen våpen ganske fort. For det vil endre ting dramatisk for forhandlingene.

Zelensky hadde ikke sagt at de enten skaffet seg atomvåpen eller ble medlem av NATO uten at han var 100% sikker på at de kunne lage seg atomvåpen. Jeg postet det tidligere, men Bild (tyske The Sun) har snakket med en som sa de kunne bygge atomvåpen på noen uker.
Samtidig, hvilke andre våpenprogrammer vet vi at Ukraina har? Jo, de lager ballistiske missiler. I tillegg til det, hva har de laget? Jo, masse droner som når over tusen km inn i Russland.
Zelensky said in late August that Ukraine had tested a domestically-produced ballistic missile, describing the results as “positive.”
Zelensky’s remarks this week likely refer to the Hrim-2, a missile long in development though to have an estimated range of around 500 kilometers, or just over 300 miles, Parakilas said.

Mao, hvis ikke NATO kommer på banen, så antar jeg egentlig at vi på et tidspunkt får se en ukrainsk atombombeprøve over Svartehavet. Da har deres røde linje blitt krysset.

Litt oppfølging av en gammel sak:
https://x.com/wartranslated/status/1847256321524891768
Major General Ivan Popov, a high-ranking officer in the Russian military, is currently facing serious charges of fraud and forgery. His legal troubles began in May 2024 when he was arrested for allegedly misappropriating substantial amounts of military materials meant for humanitarian aid and fortifications in Ukraine. Specifically, he is accused of embezzling over 1.7 million tons of metal, valued at approximately 105 million rubles (around $1.5 million).
The investigation claims that Popov, who commanded the 58th Combined Arms Army during the summer counteroffensive of 2023, stole funds not for arbitrary reasons, but to settle debts stemming from his gambling addiction. Reports indicate that he lost around 30 million rubles (approximately $300,000).
In response to these allegations, Major General Popov stated today that a forensic examination revealed no evidence of dependencies, including any related to online sports betting.
Altså, det er ingen som blir tatt for underslag i Russland hvis de følger partiboka. Her er en fyr som kanskje kunne blitt populær hos soldatene, da er det bare å hive han i fengsel. De ønsker jo ikke en fyr med 30-40k lojale soldater under seg. Han kan jo snu seg mot Putin!

Japan ser ut til å ha et slags atomvåpenris bak speilet.
Japan har åpenbart gjort unna det teoretiske arbeidet, men har en del arbeid igjen. For Ukraina sin del, så har de under Sovjetunionen produsert tusenvis av atomstridshoder av ulike typer. Det innebærer trolig at de ikke bare ligger foran Japan, men også at de kan gå direkte på mer avanserte design.

Spillegjeld er noe som russiske myndigheter har kommet opp med nylig. Til å begynne med ble det sagt at han kjøpte droner for pengene som skrapmetallet innbrakte, men det satte generalen åpenbart i et alt for gunstig lys.

Trusselen med atomvåpen er et spill med Trump fordi han veldig ofte uttrykker bekymring rundt atomvåpen.

Siterer fra artikkelen du linket til som skal bekrefte det du sier om at det virker å være enighet over alt om at "sittende administrasjon aktivt har slow walket støtte, og at den kommer med “ganske solide beviser”:
I følge Trump sin side så kan man ikke tror på et ord Woodward skriver, så hvor er vi da med tanke på "ganske solide beviser?
"Asked to comment on Woodward’s reporting, Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung responded with a lengthy personal broadside against the journalist. “None of these made-up stories by Bob Woodward are true and are the work of a truly demented and deranged man who suffers from a debilitating case of Trump Derangement Syndrome,” Cheung said in a statement, adding that Trump is already “successfully” suing Woodward “because of the unauthorized publishing of recordings he made previously.” Cheung added: “Woodward is a total sleazebag who has lost it mentally, and he’s slow, lethargic, incompetent, and overall a boring person with no personality.”
When Shoigu responded that he didn’t like being threatened, Austin countered: “Mr. Minister, I am the leader of the most powerful military in the history of the world. I don’t make threats,”"
Så er det vel ikke akkurat silkehanske Putin blir håndtert med når atomvåpen blir nevnt fra russisk side:
"According to the book, Biden swiftly directed his national security advisor, Jake Sullivan: “On all channels, get on the line with the Russians. … Tell them what we will do in response.” Biden told his team to use “language that is threatening without being directly threatening,” Woodward writes. “We need to open up a channel,” Biden reportedly said, “not on negotiating Ukraine but on the United States and Russia avoiding a cataclysm.” In a phone conversation in October, U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin warned his Russian counterpart, then-Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu: “Our leaders and your leaders have repeatedly said a nuclear war can never be won and should never be fought. This could put us on a path to confrontation that would have existential implications for you and for us. Don’t step on that slippery slope.”
Videre skrives det om det Biden anser å ha vært en feil av Obama:
“It’s noteworthy that Woodward also quotes Biden as being critical of the president he served as vice president, Barack Obama, suggesting that Obama’s relatively mild response to Putin’s partial occupation of eastern Ukraine and annexation of Crimea in 2014 had been a terrible mistake. “That’s why we are here. We fucked it up,” Biden reportedly said. “Barack never took Putin seriously. … We gave Putin license to continue! Well, I’m revoking his fucking license!””
Så avsluttes det med noen urovekkende tanker rundt Trumps forhold til Putin:
" Yet, in recent years, both a Justice Department investigation led by former FBI Director Robert Mueller and a bipartisan report by the then-Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee detailed extensive ties between Trump associates and Russia and identified a close associate of former Trump 2016 campaign chairman Paul Manafort as a Russian intelligence officer. The Mueller report concluded that it could find no grounds to charge Trump but also said it could not exonerate him.
Woodward reports that Putin said at an economic conference in Russia in September: “Mr. Trump says he will resolve all burning issues within several days, including the Ukrainian crisis. We cannot help but feel happy about it.”
Other investigations and news reports have detailed how dependent Trump’s failing businesses had grown to become on financing from Russia and former Soviet republics before he ran for president."
Så for å oppsummere: Jeg finner ingen “ganske solide beviser” her for det du hevder “Det virker det å være enighet over alt”.

Tar med denne som er dagsaktuell:
“Biden har sagt at dette er noe administrasjonen hans jobber med, og han har også hatt flere samtaler med andre vestlige allierte om spørsmålet. Men det grønne lyset lar fortsatt vente på seg, skriver NTB.”
