Out of Money, Out of Missiles: Zelensky Exit Plan as Trump Faces Ukraine Defeat

The madness in the West is a product of the gathering slow-motion collapse on the front lines, in the sky, and in the economy.

The narrative that Russia is losing in Ukraine while simultaneously being desperate enough to attack Europe makes no logical sense.

Zelensky's demands to close Russian airspace and the Rassvet satellite system are absurd and impossible for international agencies to enforce.

The 90 billion euro loan does not properly exist because the bonds were never placed on financial markets. European governments are facing increasing budgetary problems and do not have the money to hand to Zelensky. Even if the money were provided, there are no interceptors or Patriot missiles available for Ukraine to buy.

Trump will likely demand around 350 billion from Europe for weapons provided to Ukraine.

Trump is lowballing the actual amount the US spent on Ukraine during the Biden administration.

The European bonds were supposed to be repaid when Russia was defeated, meaning they would never be repaid.

Russia is getting closer to cutting off Kiev by destroying locomotives and attacking the railway system.

If rail links are closed, Russia might open road links for diplomats but will likely not provide safe passage to Zelensky.

The drone strike was intended to close Moscow airports temporarily to validate Zelensky's warnings about unsafe airspace. Russian air defenses were so well organized that no drones got through, resulting in a costly failure.

CIA Director Ratcliffe is delusional and misinformed, sourcing intelligence from unreliable Telegram channels.

Rational advisors are leaving the administration while hardliners have won internal battles and shaped policy.

Zelensky is politically secure for now because Europeans back him and the SBU is intensely loyal.

If Azov forces are trapped, Biletsky might escape encirclement and launch a coup against Zelensky.

Zelensky plans to escape to the west and set up a government in exile, probably in France.

Europeans will support a government in exile because it provides a good income and revenue stream.

The conflict will not end with a Russian breakthrough but will continue through assassinations and dirty war tactics.
