Message to Trump: Don’t Mess with the Russian Bear
by New Rules [7-14-2025 published].
(Once again, Trump has demonstrated that he does NOT understand & does NOT acknowledge the "root causes" of why Russia was finally forced by the West & NATO to initiate the Special Military Operation (SMO) in Ukraine on February 2022. The "root cause" surrounds NATO's march to the Russian border, led by the US, after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. There are well documented high level agreements that NATO would "not move one inch to the east" that NATO & the US have systematically violated ever since.
If Trump was serious about ending the SMO conflict in Ukraine, he would STOP all financial & military aid to Ukraine. For good measure, he would withdraw from NATO and remove ALL of our military troops & equipment from Europe & other NATO bases!!! When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, there was no longer a need for NATO and it should have been disbanded. — RAD)
Trump is THREATENING RUSSIA with new sanctions and new military support for Ukraine again.
Here are 7 ways how Putin could SMACK HIM back into place:
Option #1: Bomb Ukraine back to the Stone Age
So far, Russia has limited its strikes against Ukraine critical infrastructure (government buildings, railways, energy grids) for political reasons.
That can change. Western air defenses can’t stop Russian missiles.
Option #2: Take out Ukrainian regime leadership
Russia has the capability to eliminate Ukraine’s senior political and military officials, but has not done so for political reasons.
Option #3: Reimpose naval blockade of Ukraine’s Black Sea coastline
Mining the adjacent waters would be enough to halt all grain shipments and other trade, thereby delivering a HUGE ECONOMIC BLOW to Ukraine.
Option #4: Strengthen military cooperation with North Korea & Iran
Russia can provide North Korea with submarine technology, ICBM expertise, fissile material, & space launch assistance.
Russia can provide Iran with modern air defenses, fighter jets, & satellite intel.
Option #5: Restrict exports of Russian titanium, palladium, uranium, and nickel to the US
This will seriously hurt the supply chains for US aerospace, atomic energy, EV, and chip-making. Additional chaos amid Trump’s trade war
Option #6: Support China in its trade showdown with the US
Russia can help China replace US' LNG, agricultural products, and buy more Chinese electronics and machinery.
Option #7: Continue spearheading global de-dollarization drive
Along with its BRICS partners, Russia has been leading the charge to develop alternatives to US dollar and financial system. Trump’s tariffs have made these alternatives much more attractive.
This is just a snapshot of how Russia could punch back against the US. Trump has enough enemies as it is — both domestically and internationally. The last thing he needs is to get on Putin’s bad side.
