Episode notes
Putin Wants A Comprehensive Deal
- Stephen Bannon argues Putin refuses a ceasefire because he believes he is winning and wants a comprehensive deal instead.
- This frames the summit outcome as binary: either a full negotiated peace or continued war on the battlefield.
Security Guarantees Look Like NATO
- Bannon warns European leaks imply U.S.-led security guarantees and massive reconstruction aid that amount to NATO-like commitments.
- He questions whether such guarantees would entangle the U.S. and achieve globalist objectives.
Avoid Big US Financial And Security Entanglements
- Avoid underwriting massive Ukrainian reconstruction spending and Article 5-type security guarantees that could entangle U.S. forces.
- Prioritize America First: focus resources on domestic development and hemispheric defense instead.
