U.S. Special Envoy for Ukraine Keith Kellogg Says President Trump Has Authorized NATO Strikes Against Moscow

September 29, 2025 | Sundance |

Ukraine is not a member of NATO. The United States is the leading force within NATO. Most recently President Trump has repeatedly said that he is brokering missile sales to NATO for transfer to, and use from, Ukraine against Russia.

To wit, President Donald Trump has authorized NATO member states to deploy offensive missile systems into non-NATO Ukraine, provided by the U.S. In the latest development, U.S. Special Envoy for Ukraine General Keith Kellogg has announced Ukraine has the authority to launch those missile systems deep into Russia, including Moscow.

According to General Kellogg, President Trump is authorizing NATO to strike Moscow with U.S. missiles, launched from Ukraine.How is Ukraine not a proxy war between NATO and Russia? WATCH (prompted):

This is escalating madness. We are reasonably intelligent and pragmatic people. We have the objective capability to look at the issues from both sides of the equation. Look at this issue from the perspective of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The U.S. provides the missiles. The U.S. approves the missile locations in Ukraine. The U.S. authorizes the targets of the missiles from their location.

NATO provides the satellite guidance system. Ukraine targets Moscow and launches the missiles.

How is President Trump not directly responsiblefor a NATO proxy war against Russia?

The only way for President Trump to make the ‘accountability monkey’ jump now, is to exit NATO.

The reason why the EU member states of NATO want escalated war with Russia is financial and economic. Through policy and ideology, the EU/NATO members have walked themselves into an economic dead end. They are out of assets to leverage. The only way out for the EU/NATO leadership is to create a war to erase debt, expand assets and reset the economics.

(How many people surrounding Trump are lying to him?)

GUESS WHO’S NOT ABOVE THE LAW? MI SOS Benson In The Hot Seat After DOJ Sues Her For Blocking Access to Michigan’s Dirty Voter Rolls

By Patty McMurray1/2

The Trump administration is taking Michigan’s Democratic Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson to court, accusing her of deliberately preventing them from accessing complete voter registration records.

On Thursday, the Justice Department’sCivil Rights Division announced the filing of federal lawsuits against six states — California, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, New Hampshire, and Pennsylvania for failure to produce their statewide voter registrationlists upon request.=The lawsuit against Benson was filed in U.S. District Court in Grand Rapids, charging that she is violating federal law by stonewalling investigatorsand demanding that she be compelled to turn over the records.

Michigan residents have watched Secretary of State Benson mock efforts by state lawmakers andthreaten citizens who ask for transparency in elections since 2020, all in an effort to shield her dirty rolls from scrutiny.

The statement from the DOJ reminds Americans about the importance of well-maintained voter rolls: “Clean voter rolls are the foundation of free and fair elections,” said Attorney General Pamela Bondi. “Every state has a responsibility to ensure that voter registration records are accurate, accessible, and secure — states that don’t fulfill that obligation will see this Department of Justice in court.”

“States are required to safeguard American elections by complying with our federal elections laws,” said Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillonof the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division. “Clean voter rolls protect American citizens from voting fraud and abuse, and restore their confidence that their states’ elections are conducted properly, with integrity, and in compliance with the law.”

Yesterday, in response to the lawsuit against her,the defiant Secretary of State, Jocelyn Benson, mocked the DOJ’s demand for transparency, saying, “It’s important for every Michigander to understand what’s at stake here –the U.S. Justice Department is trying to get us to turn over the private, personal information of more than 8 million state residents=. That includes people’s driver’s license numbers, Social Security numbers, and other personally identifiable information.”Benson called it an” illegal and unconstitutional power grab,” adding, “I told them they can’t have it.”

Perhaps someone should inform Jocelyn Benson that the government has access to the Social Security numbers of all American citizens. It’s not the American citizens who are legally registered to vote in Michigan that the DOJ is concerned about;it’s the ILLEGAL aliens and fake voters created during her 7 years in office that the DOJ is interested in reviewing.

This isn’t the first time Jocelyn Benson’s dirty voter rolls have been challenged. On October 22, 2024, Democrat U.S. District Judge Jane Beckering, who was appointed by the far-left former Governor Jennifer Granholm, ruled against the RNC in their lawsuit against SOS Benson and MI Bureau of Elections Director Jonathan Brater.

The lawsuit claimed that MI SOS Benson and BOE Director Brater/ former ERIC chair,failed to meet the requirements outlined in Section 8 of the NVRA, or National Voter Registration Act, which requires states to maintain clean and accurate voter registration records.

Of the 83 counties in Michigan, the lawsuit claimsat least 53 have more active registered voters than adult citizens over 18, and 23 have registrations exceeding 90% of adult citizens over 18.The lawsuit states, “That number of voters is impossibly high.”

In her laughable ruling, the U.S. District judge stated that Republicans, who filed the lawsuit in March, did not provide sufficient evidence and lacked legal standing in their challenge.

On Friday, a stunning decision by a unanimousSixth Circuit panel affirmed the District Court’s dismissal of the RNC’s caseagainst Benson’s bloated voter rolls.

Benson, who has been on the losing side of multiple lawsuits since her election in 2022, has repeatedly snubbed lawmakers and citizens who’ve questioned what appears to be an intentional effort to keep voter data and voter registration data secret. In addition to her lack of transparency,Benson blatantly violates the law with made-up rules, such as instructing clerks in 2020 to ignore signature matching on absentee ballotsduring COVID lockdowns, which was responsible for a massive uptick in absentee voting. When she was caught violating campaign finance law by announcing her candidacy for governor in a government building, she shrugged it off. Unbelievably, it’s Jocelyn Benson’s office that is responsible for investigating campaign finance violations. If the Secretary of State is caught violating campaign finance law, the attorney general is supposed to investigate and make the appropriate charges against her, but as is typical in Michigan, the lawless Democrat AG Dana Nessel refused to hold her fellow elected Democrat official accountable.

Only months before the 2024 election, theGateway Pundit rang the alarm about a plot by Democrats to register 1.7 million new UOCVA (Uniformed Officer and Civilian Voters Act) voters, that they like to refer to as "military" voters,so Americans don't look too closely at the scheme to register millions of "voters" from overseaswho don't even have to prove they ever lived in the state of Michigan or that they're American citizens. The Michigan Republican Party attorney, Mike Bishop, and the RNC filed charges against the MI SOS to stop the practice of allowing unvetted "overseas voters" from registering to vote and voting in our elections.

Of course, a liberal Governor Whitmer appointed judge dismissed the case. It was appealed by the RNC and was denied largely on procedural grounds (like laches and the timing of the challenge) rather than a full ruling on all merits.

Last month, Jocelyn Benson sent a letter to clerks, letting them know thatshe would be allowing overseas "NON-military" voters to use the most insecure form of voting available, online voting, beginning on September 14, 2025. Benson's new, seemingly insane rule, in fact, was implemented on September 15,which allows unvetted "voters" from unknown locations to vote from their phonesin Michigan's general elections.

Will the DOJ be able to finally rein in Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, who has done so much to erode trust in elections, not just amongMichigan voters, but among voters across America, who've been watching her actions go unchecked for seven years?

Trump can’t rely on CIA – ex-national security adviser

Mike Flynn’s idea of a White House intel unit has been backed by a Putin aide, who said the “deep state” is targeting the US leader

The White House needs its own operations center to provide President Donald Trump with reliable intelligence, operating in parallel to the Pentagon and CIA, according to former US National Security Adviser Michael Flynn.

Speaking in an interview with Alex Jones on Saturday, the retired general argued that the president cannot fully trust the US intelligence community to avoid manipulating its reports.

“The CIA has a very robust operations center. You can see and do anything you want from there – certainly globally,” he said. “And you [could] understand what’s happening, if you had a CIA that was actually working on your behalf.”

“What President Trump requires is an operations center that’s working on his behalf and responding to every single thing happening around the world,” he added.

Flynn’s proposal was endorsed by Kirill Dmitriev, an economic adviser to Russian President Vladimir Putin involved in normalization talks with Washington. Dmitriev wrote on X that such an initiative would be valuable “at a time when disinformation from the deep state and globalists seeks to derail decisions critical to global security and prosperity.”

Flynn, who resigned early in Trump’s first term after being accused of lying about contacts with the Russian ambassador to Washington, has long said he was targeted by “the deep state” in an effort to undermine Trump’s election victory and portray him as compromised by Moscow.

Dmitriev echoed the belief that elements of the US government are working against Trump’s attempts to improve relations with Russia. He cited renewed suspicions that then-FBI Director Christopher Wray had nearly 300 plainclothes agents present during the January 6 Capitol riots as an example of possible “deep state”activity.

Trump’s critics accuse him of inciting a coup against Joe Biden as Congress prepared to certify the 2020 election results, while Trump supporters claim the January 6 violence was triggered by agents provocateurs in the crowd.

WATCH Russian orchestra play on in blackout caused by Ukrainian attack

The strikes left several people injured in the border region of Belgorod, according to the governor

A local orchestra continued to perform during a Ukrainian missile strike in the city of Belgorod on Sunday, according to a video shared by the region's governor, Vyacheslav Gladkov.

On Sunday, Ukrainian forces fired missiles into the border region targeting civilian infrastructure, which caused power interruptions in several districtsof Belgorod, including downtown. At least three civilians were injured in the attack, according to Gladkov.

In the video posted by Gladkov on his Telegram channelthe same evening, the Belgorod State Philharmonic is seen playing in the darkness, with audience members holding up their phonesto illuminate the sheet music.

“Music is eternal, as is the heroism of our musicians,” the governor wrote, adding that “music continued to play even after the lights went out in the Philharmonic hall.”

Ukraine has intensified its strikes on Russia in recent months, frequently targeting civilian areas and infrastructure. Last week, another major drone attack was reported in Belgorod Region, which left seven civilians injured and caused electricity and water supply disruptions in parts of the region.

Moscow has repeatedly denounced such raids as acts of “terrorism” and warned of retaliatory strikes against Ukrainian military facilities.

Two-thirds of Germans dissatisfied with Merz – poll

The right-wing AfD continues to outperform the ruling coalition, the latest survey shows

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s approval rating has hit its lowest point and continues to slide, according to a new poll released Saturday.

Nearly two out of three Germans are now dissatisfied with their chancellor,up 20 points from 45%in early June, according to an INSA survey. Meanwhile, the proportion expressingsatisfaction with the chancellor has fallen from 36% to just 23%.

At the same time, Alternative for Germany (AfD) continues to outpace the ruling coalition between the center-right CDU/CSU and the Social Democrats, the poll suggests. The bloc remains stagnant at 25%,while the right-wing opposition party holds firm at 26%,making it the strongest political force in the country.

The poll also shows Chancellor Merz’s coalition partners struggling, with the Social Democrats, Greens, andThe Left all lagging in support. Smaller parties such as the Free Democrats and Sahra Wagenknecht’s BSW remain below the threshold needed to enter parliament.

Merz, who took office in May, has pledged to revive Germany’s sluggish economy, strengthen the military, and secure continued support for Ukraine – while also pushing for sweeping cuts to the welfare system.

However, a recent study by the insurer R+V Versicherung suggested thathis campaign promises are increasingly out of step with public concerns. Germans cited the rising cost of living, immigrant and refugee-related issues, high taxes, and potential cuts in social benefits as their top worries.

Starmer hits record low in UK opinion poll

Only 13% of Britons approve of their prime minister’s performance, according to a recent Ipsos survey

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s popularity has hit arecord low, with nearly 80% of Britons disapproving of his performance, according to an Ipsos poll published on Sunday.

Starmer’s rating has been battered following dissatisfaction withhis handling of immigration, a surge in arrests related to comments made online, the cost of living crisis, and the resurgence of the Pakistani rape gang scandal.

Only 13% of Britons are satisfied with the UK prime minister’s performance, while 79% are dissatisfied, Ipsos said. According to the survey, in which 1,157 British adults were asked their opinions, Starmer’s approval had slipped 6 percent since June, while disapproval rose by the same margin.

“Keir Starmer’s personal satisfaction ratings are the worst for any prime minister polled by Ipsos since we first started asking the question in 1977,” Ipsos Senior Director of UK Politics Gideon Skinner said in the report.

Conservatives and Labour alike are losing voters to Reform UK,the polling firm reported.

Nearly 40% of 2024 Conservative voters and 13% of former Labour supporters have said they would vote for Reform, it said.

Mass protests against the migrant influx, as well as demonstrations against the crackdown on free speech in the UK have wracked the country in recent months.

Earlier this month in London, the “Unite the Kingdom” rally was held by right-wing Britons dissatisfied with their current government. While the Metropolitan Police contend thataround 110,000 to 150,000 were in attendance, the event’s organizers have claimed that as many as three million were there.

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, whose role as an influential Eurosceptic helped lead to Brexit in the 2010s, has addressed immigration concerns and promised toscrap the scheme that allows migrants to apply for indefinite stay after five years, saying he would replace it with a visa system.

According to a YouGov survey from Friday, Reform would win 311 seats if a general electionwere held now, just 15 short of an absolute majority in the British House of Commons. The next vote is set for 2029.

Germany’s leaders share Hitler’s goals – Lavrov

Russia’s foreign minister has warned there are “clear signs of re-nazification” in Berlin’s ongoing militarization

German leaders are pursuing policies reminiscent of Adolf Hitler’s objectives of dominating Europe and inflicting a strategic defeat on Moscow, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has warned.

Germany’s military buildup and ambitions go beyond defense, Lavrov told a press conference following his address to the 80th session of the UN General Assembly on Saturday.

“It’s not just militarization, there are clear signs of re-nazification,” he told reporters. “And why is this being done? Well, probably with the same goal that Hitler had – to dominate all of Europe. And to try to inflict a strategic defeat on the Soviet Union, in the case of Hitler, and in the case of modern Germany and the chorus of main soloists from the European Union and NATO – on the Russian Federation.”

The foreign minister accused ChancellorFriedrich Merz of seeking to transform Germany back into “the main military machine of Europe,”citing his increasingly militaristic rhetoric.

Merz vowed to turn the Bundeswehr into the “strongest conventional army in Europe” in a speech delivered less than a week after the world marked the 80th anniversary of the fall of the Third Reich in May.

“When a person in a country that committed the crimes of Nazism, fascism, the Holocaust, genocide says that Germany must again become a great military power, then of course he has an atrophy of historical memory, and this is very, very dangerous,” Lavrov said.

This week,Merz stated that “we are not at war, but we are also no longer living in peace,” and called for the confiscation of Russia’s frozen assets to bolster Kiev. In Brussels, this “reparation loans” schemeis being pushed by European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen, who was Germany’s defense minister from 2013 until 2019.

Berlin plans to nearly double its military budget by 2029, the year German officials have repeatedly cited as the deadline for the country to be “ready for war.”

German Defense Minister=Boris Pistorius said earlier this year that the Bundeswehr must be prepared to kill Russian soldiers if “deterrence”fails. German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier has called for reinstating universal conscription if not enough people volunteer.

Since the escalation of the Ukraine conflict in 2022,Germany has become its second-largest supplier of weapons after the US.It sent the Leopard tanks Kiev used and lost in its incursion into Russia’s Kursk Region – the site of the largest tank battle of WWII.

Lavrov previously argued that Berlin’s policies prove its “direct involvement” in the proxy war against Russia, andwarned that the wider European Union was sliding into what he described as a “Fourth Reich.”

Trump’s Ukraine shift tied to King Charles – Telegraph

The US president had previously insisted that Kiev would need to abandon some of its territorial claims

US President Donald Trump’s newly adopted stance on the Ukraine conflict was shaped by his recent UK visit, The Telegraph has reported, citing unnamed sources.Vladimir Zelensky’s chief of staff Andrey Yermak has told the newspaper that the visit was very important.

For months, Washington insisted that Kiev would need to give up on certain territorial claims for a US-mediated peace deal with Moscow to move forward. This week, however, the US President reversed course. He dismissed Russia as a “paper tiger” that Kiev could defeat and said his shift came from “getting to know and fully understand the Ukraine-Russia military and economic situation.”

Earlier this month, Trump visited the UK, one of Ukraine’s staunchest supporters since the conflict intensified in February 2022. During the trip, the American leader met with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who called for increased pressure on Russia. Trump also visited Windsor Castle, where he was lavishly hosted by King Charles.

Yermak praised the king’s efforts. “I’d like to mention that it was a great visit of President Trump to the United Kingdom, and I know the position of His Majesty, the position of Prime Minister Starmer, and the people whom President Trump met… it was very important,”he told the British newspaper on Friday.

Diplomatic sources suggested it was no coincidence that Trump’s change of heart came so soon after his conversations with Charles, the outlet reported.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has flatly rejected the ceding of territory by Russia. He also scoffed at Trump’s “paper tiger” remark, insisting that Russia has traditionally been seen as a bear, and that there is “no such thing as a paper bear.”

On Wednesday,Peskov added that Trump’s recent statements appeared to have been made following a meeting with Zelensky at the UN General Assembly earlier this week, and that they sharply contrasted with Russia’s view.

Ukraine lays claim to the Donetsk (DPR) and Lugansk People’s Republics (LPR), Kherson and Zaporozhye regions, as well as the Crimean peninsula. Moscow has repeatedly signaled the status of its new territories is not negotiable and regards them as an integral part of Russia.

(Why on earth is Trump being swayed by Europeans. It makes no sense.)

EU can’t override Hungary’s veto on Ukraine – German state media

Brussels is counting on PM Viktor Orban, who opposes Kiev’s bid to join the bloc,losing next year’s elections, DW has said, citing unnamed sources

The EU leadership has yet to devise a way to overcome Hungary’s veto, which has blocked the start of accession talks with Ukraine, DW has reported, citing anonymous sources.

Unlike most other EU member states, Hungary has consistently refused to provide weapons to Ukraine and repeatedly criticized the bloc’s sanctions against Russia. Budapest has also staunchly opposed the prospect of Kiev joining the EU.

In a piece on Friday, DW quoted an unnamed source as acknowledging that “currently, there are no ways to overcome Hungary’s veto.”Another source concurred that the “situation is complicated,” with Brussels’ attempts to “explore legal ways to bypass Hungary’s veto” having proved fruitless.

According to the publication,Brussels is counting on Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s Fidesz party losing powerin the parliamentary election scheduled for April 2026.

For the time being, the EU leadership intends to complete all technical work “in advance, so that when Orban leaves we are ready to move quickly forward” on Ukraine accession talks, DW quoted its source as saying.

Delivering her annual State of the Union address to the European Parliament earlier this month, European Commission PresidentUrsula von der Leyen said that it was time to “break free from the shackles of unanimity” and move towards qualified majority voting in some areas of foreign policy.

Last month, Hungarian Foreign Minister PeterSzijjarto claimed that Brussels was conspiring to overthrow the “patriot Slovak, Hungarian, and Serbian governments” and replace them with puppet regimes.

Around the same time, Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) made similar allegations.

Also in August, Szijjarto warned thatUkraine’s potential accession to the bloc “would be the coup de grace to the European Union,” as itwould have to redirect “practically all” of its financial resources towards supporting Kiev. Moreover, “much lower-quality agricultural products would destroy European agriculture,”the Hungarian diplomat stated, echoing concerns previously aired by Orban.

In June, Hungary vetoed a joint EU statement on Ukraine, effectively blocking Kiev’s accession talks, since unanimous approval was required.

(Ukraine is now the EU’s mafia head.)

Russia has no intentions to attack NATO, EU – Lavrov

The West has repeatedly spurned Moscow’s offers to discuss security guarantees on the continent, the Foreign Minister has told the UN

Moscow harbors no aggressive plans toward its Western EU and NATO neighbors, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has assured.

Addressing the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York on Saturday, the official dismissed claims made by certain European officials, according to whom the Kremlin is considering attacking NATO in the coming years.

”Russia has not had such intentions,” Lavrov insisted, echoing Russian President Vladimir Putin, who previously described such speculations as “nonsense.”

According to the official, Moscow has repeatedly invited NATO member states to work out “legally binding security guarantees” in Europe, but the West has ignored these overtures.

The Russian diplomatexpressed concern over the fact that certain EU and NATO officials “are beginning to seriously talk about a third world war as a potential scenario.”

He accused the Western powers of seeking to impose their unipolar approaches on the entire global community while ignoring other nations’ legitimate interests.

Lavrov also stated that theRussian military never intentionally launches kamikaze drones or missiles toward NATO member states.

Earlier this month, Poland accused Russia of sending a volley of unmanned aerial vehicles into its airspace – an allegation Moscow has denied.

According to subsequent media reports, the drones may have been decoys that strayed off course due to electronic warfare measures.
