Trump’s Vietnam... Or Putin’s Checkmate?

Dear Reader, 

The war has already started.

Not next year. Not next month. Now.

And if you’re waiting for missiles in Manhattan to wake up—forget it.

Jim Rickards says we’re deeper into World War III than we were in 1939.

And he’s not talking about nukes.

He’s talking about rare earths, energy corridors, currency warfare—and the slow bleed of a global superpower walking blind into a buzzsaw.

• WWIII Has Already Begun: The media missed it. Jim Rickards didn’t.

• Trump’s Vietnam Moment: Escalate and lose a decade—or negotiate and win peace.

• Putin’s Not Stopping: No ceasefire. No retreat. Just forward motion—and a bloody logic.

The Map Has Changed.

Rickards laid it out clear on Bannon’s War Room.

Russia’s winning.

Ukraine is losing.

And the U.S. State Department is still playing Risk like it’s 1991.

Rickards says this war didn’t start in 2022.

It started in 2008, when George W. Bush promised NATO membership to Ukraine.

The Kremlin saw it as an existential threat.

Then came 2014, the CIA-backed coup.

After that? It was just a matter of time.

Now Putin is doing what Russian generals have done for centuries:

Encircle. Squeeze. Crush.

Village by village. Rail line by rail line.

Ukraine’s fighting on land that Putin calls Russia.

And in his mind, this isn’t a war—it’s a reconquest.

Trump’s LBJ Moment.

Here’s where it gets serious.

Rickards says Trump is now standing in Lyndon B. Johnson’s shoes circa 1965.

Back then, Johnson inherited a proxy war he didn’t start.

He had two choices:

• Pull out fast…

• Or double down and drown.

He chose escalation.

The result?

500,000 troops in Vietnam.

50,000 body bags.

And a lost decade of American strength.

Now it’s Trump’s turn.

Rickards says the same trap is set in Ukraine.

Does Trump walk away, cut a deal, and reset American strength?

Or does he get sucked into the war machine again—dragged by neocons, NATO fanatics, and the same D.C. swamp that tried to impeach him… twice?

The Deal Is on the Table.

Putin has four demands:

• Full control of the four annexed provinces.

• Recognition of Crimea.

• Ukraine’s permanent neutrality.

• And denazification—yes, the real kind.

The media mocks it.

But Rickards breaks it down: Ukraine isn’t some Starbucks-friendly democracy.

It’s got deep, bloody roots.

The Bandera movement. Nazi collaborators from WWII.

Still active. Still armed. Still influencing politics.

Putin wants it gone. And he’s not bluffing.

The Kinetic Part Has Begun.

This isn’t theory. It’s already kinetic.

That’s Rickards’ word—kinetic.

That means bombs.

It means missiles.

It means drones flying over oil pipelines in Europe and power plants in Asia.

It’s not a Cold War anymore.

It’s a hot one.

And America’s not ready.

Rickards said it bluntly: NATO and the West are “negotiating with themselves.”

London talks to Paris. Washington talks to Brussels.

But no one talks to Moscow.

Trump may be the only man who can cut a deal.

But he has to move fast—before the lines harden and the costs explode.

No Ceasefire for the Winners.

Rickards made another brutal point.

Putin won’t agree to a ceasefire on the “line of contact.”

Why? Because that would freeze the front where it is—and it still includes Ukrainian troops.

He’s winning.

Why stop now?

The so-called “Kellogg Plan” wants peace at the current front line.

But that’s not a peace deal.

That’s surrender with extra steps.

The Church. The Land. The Blood.

Americans don’t understand Russia.

Not its history. Not its culture.

Certainly not its religion.

Rickards says Putin isn’t Stalin.

He’s a nationalist.

Orthodox. Proud. Brutal.

But predictable.

And if Trump can grasp that—truly grasp it—he can make peace and turn the page on 20 years of foreign policy failure.

Because this war isn’t about flags.

It’s about power.

And whoever controls the land, the food, the fuel—and the rare earths—wins the next century.

💥 Final Word from Rickards:

“There are only two countries with the raw power to shape the future—America and Russia. That’s it.”

If Trump wants to preserve America’s standing—he must act now.

Trump Orders New Wealth Fund for America

Did you catch the news?

Recently, Trump’s Treasury Secretary let slip:

“We’re going to monetize the most valuable asset of the United States.”

What did he mean, exactly?

As you’ll see, Trump could soon unleash a massive new boom in America. One that could dwarf the rise of crypto and NVIDIA, combined.

Former Presidential Advisor, Jim Rickards says:

“We’re talking about a state asset that’s so large – if you divide the figure by the number of households in America, it’d be enough to make every family millionaires.”
