Putin-Trump Call, US Ceasefire Strategy Fails. Poland Patriot Missile Scandal
"So, in the autumn of 2025, the decision is made, start the drone offensive, get attacks going against Russia itself, um try to escalate the pressure on the Russians, um impose sanctions on Rosenef and Luke Oil, put pressure on India to stop buying Russian oil."
Alexander alleges that the Trump administration deliberately escalated drone strikes on Russian territory after failing to secure a ceasefire at Anchorage talks. He claims the strategy involves sanctions, harassment of Russian tankers, and coordinated pressure to force Putin to agree to a freeze on existing conflict lines, contradicting Trump's campaign promises to stop missile strikes into Russia.
