Tea at Trianon: Trump and Putin’s Summit Ends With a REMARKABLE Turn Toward Peace

John Wilson Croker on Marie-Antoinette

"We have followed the history of Marie Antoinette with the greatest diligence and scrupulosity. We have lived in those times. We have talked with some of her friends and some of her enemies; we have read, certainly not all, but hundreds of the libels written against her; and we have, in short, examined her life with– if we may be allowed to say so of ourselves– something of the accuracy of contemporaries, the diligence of inquirers, and the impartiality of historians, all combined; and we feel it our duty to declare, in as a solemn a manner as literature admits of, our well-matured opinion that every reproach against the morals of the queen was a gross calumny– that she was, as we have said, one of the purest of human beings."

~from History of the Guillotine by John Wilson Croker, 1844

Edmund Burke on Marie-Antoinette

"It is now sixteen or seventeen years since I saw the queen of France, then dauphiness, at Versailles; and surely there never lighted on this orb, which she hardly seemed to touch, a more delightful vision. I saw her just above the horizon, decorating and cheering the elevated sphere she had just begun to move in, glittering like a morning star full of life and splendor and joy. Oh, what a revolution....Little did I dream that I should have lived to see such disasters fall upon her, in a nation of gallant men, in a nation of men of honor and of cavaliers! I thought ten thousand swords must have leaped from their scabbards, to avenge even a look which threatened her with insult. But the age of chivalry is gone; that of sophisters, economists, and calculators has succeeded...."

~Edmund Burke, October 1790

Trump and Putin’s Summit Ends With a REMARKABLE Turn Toward Peace

From Overton News:

Roughly thirty minutes later, it happened.
President Trump and President Putin stepped onto the stage…together.
Putin spoke first.
He began with a word of thanks to Trump, then drifted briefly into a history of Russian-Alaskan relations, as only Putin would.
But he quickly got to the point.
He said progress had been made. An agreement of some kind had been reached. And without Trump, he added, none of it would have been possible.
“I would like to thank President Trump for our joint work, for the well-wishing and trustworthy tone of our conversation,” he said.
He praised Trump’s clarity, saying the U.S. president “sincerely cares about the prosperity of his nation,” while still recognizing Russia’s own national interests.
Putin said the day’s talks could serve as a starting point…not just for Ukraine, but for rebuilding practical, ‘businesslike’ relations between Russia and the United States.
Then came a jab at the Biden administration.
He recalled warning America in 2022 that things were spiraling toward a point of no return. His warning, he said, was ignored.
“I said it quite directly back then that it’s a big mistake.”
Then came the moment that would make headlines around the world and INFURIATE the mainstream media.
“Today, when President Trump was saying that if he was the president back then, there would be no war—and I’m quite sure that it would indeed be so. I can confirm that.”
It was a public validation of something Trump had been saying for years.
Putin ended on a hopeful note.
“I think that overall, me and President Trump have built a very good, businesslike and trustworthy contact. And I have every reason to believe that moving down this path, we can come—to the end of the conflict in Ukraine.”
