The top diplomats from Russia and the U.S. met Tuesday in Saudi Arabia to discuss improving ties and negotiating an end to the war in Ukraine — talks that reflected a major and rapid change in American foreign policy under President Donald Trump.

Maybe it’s just me, but when I look out at the global landscape, I see a massive resetting of just about everything. Remember Klaus Schwab and his talk of the Great Reset? The resetting I see taking place now, under Donald Trump, has implications every bit as far reaching. Have you ever heard of ‘peace talks’ that didn’t involve the other party? How could that be? Something is not right here, and new alliances are being formed as the global order is definitely changing.

“Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you.” Habakkuk 1:5 (KJB)

Everything is changing fast, almost too fast to properly acknowledge the intricate and complex events taking place. The whole world is rushing inexorably forward and it begs the question is the change that’s come good or bad? Some of it is good, some of it will be good, but much of that goodness will come at the expense of other things. American territorial expansion is not a good thing, we already have more space than we can adequately handle. Fix homelessness, the VA and the school system before you start worrying about expanding America’s borders. It looks indeed like a New World Order is forming in the ashes of the Pandemic, who will control it? If you haven’t guessed by now, these are rhetorical questions.

Top Russian and US officials discuss improving ties and ending the Ukraine war — without Kyiv

FROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS: No Ukrainian officials were present at the meeting, which came as the beleaguered country is slowly but steadily losing ground against more numerous Russian troops in a grinding war that began nearly three years ago. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said his country won’t accept any outcome from this week’s talks if Kyiv doesn’t take part. European allies have also expressed concerns they are being sidelined.

Beyond Ukraine, the meeting — attended by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and other senior officials — had been expected to focus on thawing relations between the two countries, whose ties have fallen to their lowest level in decades.

The plan delivered to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy last week would “amount to the US economic colonization of Ukraine, in legal perpetuity” and also “implies a burden of reparations that cannot possibly be achieved.” source

The meeting at the Diriyah Palace in the Saudi capital of Riyadh also highlights de facto leader Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s efforts to be a major diplomatic player, burnishing a reputation severely tarnished by the 2018 killing of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

Meanwhile, Russia continued to pummel Ukraine with drones, according to Kyiv’s military. The Ukrainian air force said Russian troops launched a barrage of 176 drones at Ukraine overnight, most of which were destroyed or disabled by jamming. One Russian drone struck a residential building in Dolynska in the Kirovohrad region, wounding a mother and her two children and prompting an evacuation of 38 apartments, the regional administration reported. Four more residential buildings were damaged by drone debris in the Cherkasy region of Ukraine, according to local officials. READ MORE
