Trump: Attack & Strikes on Moscow, Russia

That's a crazy report if this is true.

Donald Trump asked Sinsky whether

Ukraine could strike Moscow, an inquiry

that the White House says was merely a

question, but one that came hours after

he voiced frustration at Putin's refusal

to accept a ceasefire in the war. Now,

remember, we've been talking about

secondary tariffs, about this potential

of Donald Trump issuing 100 to 500%

tariffs on any country that trades with

Russia, basically that buys Russian oil

starting well, 49 days from now since

yesterday Trump announced a 50-day, you

know, sort of pause on those 100 day

secondary 100% secondary tariffs.

Whatever. Trump's got his own timelines.

But in the meantime, it looks like he

wants to ramp up pressure on Putin by

potentially striking Moscow. I wonder if

they'd be as brazen to potentially go

for the Kremlin. And I also think it's

very interesting because the CIA would

be really the one to ask the question

to, I suppose, because the CIA really

seems to be guiding targeting uh for uh

Ukraine and uh you know, sort of gating

weapons

uh but um as as well as you know

providing the authorization to actually

launch certain strikes. But it's

possible that uh Trump is also asking if

you the Ukrainians can strike Moscow via

some form of you know internal

you know clandestine

drone attack much like they did against

airfields deep inside of Russia.

Something to know about the Kremlin is

the Kremlin is a fortified complex they

like to call it. It's 69 acres large.

You can't make this stuff up. And uh it

is sort of the symbol of the Russian

leadership, if you will. Looking into

some of the other details here. During a

July 4th phone call with the Ukrainian

president, Trump quiz Zalinski about

whether Ukraine could hit the Russian

capital and St. Petersburg if given long

range US weapons. Oh, that's

interesting. So, hey, if we give you

some long range missiles, can you strike

deep? Of course. Why wouldn't we be able

to? Wow, that's not even relying on the

drones. That's literally the US

basically working with Ukraine and the

CIA to target and drop some Israel style

uh, you know, or I guess I should call

them Iranian style intercontinental

ballistic missiles. Wow. Okay. Uh,

Zilinsky replied that he could if the US

provided the weapons. Well, duh. Well,

sir, if you give me the targeting

computer, the rocket launcher, and the

rocket, and the rocket has the range,

well, yeah, I could hit the Kremlin.

Okay. I mean, obviously, you know,

Russia is going to see this. So, there's

also the potential that Donald Trump is,

you know, this information is coming to

light because they want it to come light

to try to make Putin nervous that, oh

no, they're just going to try to attack

Moscow. And who knows, maybe the CIA is

going to keep an eye out to see, oh, are

they now moving air defense units in and

around Moscow because they're nervous

about this sort of leaked commentary.

Could all be sort of wargaming.

Asked about the details of the call,

which were first reported by the

Financial Times, the White House press

secretary said Trump was merely asking a

question, not encouraging further

killing. He's working tirelessly to stop

the killing. The conversation take place

after a day after Trump said he was very

disappointed by a phone call with Putin.

Ukraine has successfully targeted Moscow

with drones in the past, but long-range

missiles provided by Western allies

could have uh well so far have lacked

the capabilities to reach the city,

right? Because they provide long range

missiles that are like hundreds of miles

of long range, not the thousands of

miles that they would need because those

are different missiles. Details of the

discussion emerged a day after Trump

pledged fresh weapons. Uh oil declined.

Okay, that's fine. Carmelan spokesperson

on Tuesday said Trump's public comments

were serious and Russia needed time to

analyze them. Any attempts to make

demands, especially ultimatums, will be

unacceptable. Right. Trump moves to

pressure Putin after months of

unsuccessful diplomacy. This is why we

saw this secondary tariff talk

yesterday. Uh if we don't have a deal

within 50 days, now 49 days to go.

Although how solid that line is is a

little blurry. China has criticized the

US pressure to uh the US effort to

pressure Beijing over its ties with

Russia. Well, duh. Uh because China

wants to integrate with Russia more

because they get cheap oil from Russia

because oil oil can't be sold from

Russia to Europe or to the United

States. So they basically have to sell

it at a discount like a hot potato to

you know somebody else in China and

India. They'll suck on this

comment signal. The latest indications

that Trump is growing impatient with

Moscow's refusal to end the war.

Much of the defense material Kiev will

receive will depend on Europe's ability

and willingness to make the purchases.

Ukraine needs air defense systems and

drone interceptors, as well as a

constant supply of artillery shells and

missiles. Trump said the US was sending

top-of-the-line weapons, including

Patriot defense batteries.

Silinski said Monday he spoke with

Trump. We agreed to catch up more often

by phone and coordinate the next steps

in the future. So really a warming of

relationships here. A very big reversal

from the you don't have the cards Oval

Office meeting.

Yeah. I mean this has large implications

because it's probably war

fear-mongering, but we've seen some

pretty deep strikes inside of Russia

already. The problem is if Russia sees

attacks deep inside of Russia as fueled

by the United States,

then you potentially deepen that

integration between Russia, North Korea,

uh, and China against the United States.

Now, how much that matters? Well, you

know, alone, Russia and North Korea, not

much much smaller economies. With with

China, that's problematic. Uh so we'll

see where it evolves, but that that's

certainly a little bit of an indication

of an escalation. I think the only

reason we're actually seeing the oil

market down now is because we had some

of that weaker services and commuting

pricing power evidenced in the CPI

report this morning. Mind you, 10-year

Treasury yield actually up 2.8 basis

points after that uh report this

morning. Mostly because the numbers were

inflationary. You have to just look at

the the details. Now, Donald Trump is

literally just now publishing his

classic propaganda. And remember, my my

my point is not to shill one side, it's

to hate be hated by everyone. Donald

Trump apparently now shilling that

consumer prices are low and it's time to

bring the Fed rate down now. he says.

But again, Trump is a headline reader

and I don't actually take him as

somebody who's going to go read the

details. But if you want to read the

details, uh, you could download the Meet

Kevin app and you could get the details

totally for free or you could join the

alpha report, which you could do as

well. This morning, the alpha report, we

talked about MP material running towards

60 bucks. Uh, it, you know, since the

market opened, it's up over 10% since

those comments. also talked about Open

Door running, which is also running uh

since this uh this morning, but we've

been talking about Open Door running for

weeks. So, if you want to get that sort

of alpha, make sure you're part of the

uh alpha report over at mev.com. Use

coupon code Mr. Too late, which is

basically what Trump is complaining

about now. But look, if you download the

Meet Kevin app, which is free, uh you

can see I broke down these tariff

numbers here, and we talked about some

of these this morning as well. But some

of the things we didn't yet talk about

this morning on my CPI video were that

without autos, core goods pricing is

actually up five or 0.55%, which is the

highest since November of 2021. And if

you annualize that, it means core prices

on an annual rate are going up 6.6%.

That is the opposite of consumer prices

being low and the Fed needing to bring

rates down. We are literally seeing

pressure on services, the lagged effect

of tariffs showing up and excuse me.

What we're really seeing is pain in the

very sectors you would expect to see the

pain start showing up in. You're finally

seeing disinflation show up in or or

lower inflation show up. Well, yeah.

disinflation showing up in insurance,

hotels, cars, rent, used cars, autos,

right? But definitely in those

categories that are affected by tariffs,

very large increases and they're just

now starting to show up and you have the

weakest travel gauge since March. So,

you're starting to show some of that

weakening for the consumer. Donald Trump

doesn't want to look under the hood

because under the hood is starting to

look a little stinky. Uh, and it's much

easier to just oversimplify and look at

the headline because, you know, that's

probably what your, you know, Fox News

is going to pitch. I mean, we should

look, it'll probably be entertaining,

but if we go to foxnews.com, it's

probably going to be like low inflation.

Fox Newsw.com.

Fox Newsw.com.

All right. What do we have? We have

Zalinski Christian coffee shop owner.

Where's the infl I'm actually surprised

they just won't mention inflation at all

on their front page cuz they know the

details are dirty. How interesting.

No way. Oh my gosh. Look at this. Look,

dude. Okay, this this is absolutely

ridiculous. Hold on a sec. Look at this.

So, you have to go if you go to Fox

News, you don't brag about low inflation

because they know it's a lie. So look

where it is

all the way down here. So you literally

have to scroll. Holy smokes. I got to

grab the bar on the side. Like top news

story inflation. I have to go all the

way past probably about a hundred

stories

and it shows up

there. Inflation accelerated in June as

the Fed weighs the impact of tariffs in

rate cut timing.

Classic. Very classic. Right under the

shill that Kai Trump announces first

major partnership with Accelerator

Active Energy. Oh yeah. Let's shill

Trump's daughter. Suck it on some

Accelerator drinks that are probably

full of trashy chemicals. so much for

make America healthy again. But

whatever.

So, welcome to America where the details

don't matter.

It's okay. Uh you you you have me uh to

to give you the truth uh along with I

mean here like you actually go to the

journal you could actually see toys,

furniture among items seeing price

increases, tariffs start to seep into

prices. That's correct. Oh, but this is

also interesting. Trump sends a new

message to Putin. Uh, this is from

yesterday. It took six months, but Trump

seems to have concluded that Vladimir

Putin doesn't want peace in Ukraine. The

Russian will have a lovely talk with the

president, right? Anyway, so we we've

already covered all this, but this this

idea now that potentially we want to

strike deep inside of Russia shows some

of Trump's frustration. Uh, and it also

shows a bit of the failure that, you

know, oh yeah, we're going to end the

deal or we're going to end the war in

Ukraine in 24 hours of taking office.

Duh. Of course, you know, now Trump

calls that sarcasm. It didn't sound like

sarcasm when we all heard it during the

campaign trail. But then again, you

know, next thing we're going to hear is

that it was just sarcasm that he was

going to release the Epstein files.
