Bulgaria has paid a very high price, sacrificing its interests under threat from the US: Karbowski interview, Part 2
The title above is the one that my interviewer, Martin Karbowski, gave it. I assume this was to set out bait for his core audience, which is in Bulgaria. And, indeed, we do discuss here what a small member state like Bulgaria can do to change the direction of the European Union from its becoming Soviet Union 2.0, what it can do to protect itself from a Maidan-like take-over by globalists engineered by US-funded NGOs.
However, the subjects we discuss here are numerous and varied.

Some appear to be very, very relevant to today, the 18th of July: I speak in the interview of the possible re-election of Ursula von der Leyen as head of the European Commission taking place on this day, which is true, though the interview was video recorded a couple of weeks ago.
Other issues are more abstract and undated, though hopefully, they will also be seen to be important by viewers. I have in mind what I say in the interview about the Russian Federation as an “empire” and whether anything short of a military defeat can bring about the break-up of this empire that is so desired by Washington, London and Berlin.
Finally, I call attention to my extensive remarks about Joe Biden and about Donald Trump. What I say about Trump is what the Germans would call vorbei, meaning it is outdated and has been superseded by my own substantial reconsideration of the merits of The Donald following his near assassination last weekend and particularly his naming J.D. Vance as his running mate.
I will be writing and speaking about this change in my electoral calculus in the coming days. What I say here is that these latest developments provide hope that a Trump victory will spell the end of U.S. support for the demagogue in power in Kiev and his neo-Nazi entourage, hence an early end to the war even before this year is out.
Considering Vance’s position as Senator, and the fact that his power base is within the legislative house most critical to all future appointments of any incoming Trump administration, considering the speeches I have heard delivered at the Republican National Convention, and most particularly by the president of the Teamsters Union, I believe that this second Trump administration will be far better manned than the first, when Trump arrived in Washington with too few contacts and supporters to put together a capable team. That deficiency was most pronounced in the field of foreign affairs, where his advisers and successive appointees as Secretary of State were disasters from the standpoint of implementing the policies he had announced as a candidate to office. And, yes, under Trump 1.0 relations with Russia spiraled downward to a new nadir rather than rise upwards to normality as he had pledged.
