Trump and Putin ‘Play the Pipes of Peace’ as Zelensky Sings ‘Burn Baby Burn’

American  Thinker 

Questioning political decisions which carry the high cost of human lives, Paul McCartney released an album in 1983, titled “Pipes of Peace.”  The music video, “Pipes of Peace” recounts the history of the temporary armistice that spontaneously occurred Christmas Eve 1914 between British and German soldiers during World War I.  The video has McCartney playing the roles of both a British and a German soldier from opposing sides, depicting them to look like identical twins.  In the quiet of Christmas Eve and the spirit of Christian peace, they cross the silent battlefield and shake hands, offering the season’s greetings as they meet for the first time.  Photos of wives and children are adored and swapped, before the blasts of war and death begin again.

The McCartney video seems prophetic in that he played the role of a soldier on both sides of the war, which is very much like the scenario of the Ukrainian/Russian war.  The history of Russia and Ukraine “goes back more than a thousand years to a time when Kyiv, now Ukraine’s capital, was at the center of the first Slavic state, Kyivan Rus, the birthplace of both Ukraine and Russia.”  It was Vladimir I, born in Kyiv, known as the Grand Prince of Kyiv, who brought back the teachings, stories, and devotion of Saint Nicolas to his homeland, where Nicolas became the most beloved saint, known for righteousness, establishing the Nicene Creed, fighting Arianism, and for being the benefactor of children.

(NOTE: Volodymyr is the Ukrainian form of the name Vladimir.  So, both Zelensky and Putin are named after Vladimir I, the Grand Prince of Kyiv, the one who brought the teachings of Saint Nicolas.)

Ukrainians and Russians further show their relationship as ancient “T and O maps” reveal both are descendants of Shem, Noah’s eldest son.

Unlike McCartney, imbecilic RINOs, like Mitt Romney, believe it’s a “good deal” for America to fund the Ukrainian war, seemingly unbothered by the death count because Putin’s forces are being killed.  But does he not understand that Ukrainians and Russians are kin?  Does he not know “Carol of the Bells” was written by Mykola Leontovych, a Ukrainian, and Tchaikovsky, the composer of the “1812 Overture,” was Russian?  Or that the great writer Leo Tolstoy was a Russian Christian, who wrote numerous excellent novels, like “War and Peace,” with Tolstoy’s daughter stating that his favorite story was “Martin the Cobbler,” because “it reflected what he believed in.”

In contrast to the warmongers, President Trump has continuously said, “I want everybody to stop dying.”

So, what’s preventing peace?  Russian President Putin offered peace December 25, 2022, January 6, 2023, and again on June 14, 2024, with TASS reporting Putin offered “another real peace proposal to Kiev,” stating, “These parameters were generally agreed upon by everyone back during the Istanbul talks in 2022.”  Yet, all of these proposals were rejected by Zelensky, the Biden administration, and the Brennen-infested CIA.

Remember, this mess started in 2014 with Biden and the CIA in Kyiv topplingthe duly elected pro-Russian president of Ukraine, because he wouldn’t join the EU after President Putin threatened tariffs to protect Russia’s economy from the influx of cheap goods.  Also, Putin had a prior agreement with the ousted president of Ukraine to use Crimea as one of Russia’s two warm water ports.  With the 2014 fall of Ukraine, Crimea appointed its own government that voted to join Russia. Thus, Russia took Crimea without firing a shot.

Beginning January 2021, the Biden administration refused to talk to President Putin concerning Ukraine’s January 2021 request for NATO membership saying, Ukrainian NATO membership concerns were a non-starter for negotiations, which ultimately led to Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, with Biden a year into the war stating, Ukraine is “not ready” to join NATO.

Note: George H.W. Bush, former director of the CIA, prior to being Reagan’s vice president, in 1990 told Soviet Premier Mikhail Gorbachev, “If we maintain a presence in a Germany that is a part of NATO, there would be no extension of NATO’s jurisdiction for forces of NATO one inch to the east.”  Yet, since then, NATO has added 14 countries east of Berlin, obviously irritating Putin.

Concerning the present peace plan, Trump says, “Russia’s fine with it,” but also says, “Zelensky hasn’t yet read the proposal.”  Why wouldn’t Zelensky sign the peace agreement and end this war?  Could the hoards of money and arms recklessly sent by Biden’s administration and the former Democrat-controlled Congress prompt Zelensky’s not wanting the war to end?  Money has gone missing since the first monies sent to Ukraine by the Biden’s administration.  Numerous weapons have also gone missing with shipments ending up in the hands of criminal gangs and arms traffickers. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) expressed that weapons “provided to Ukraine are ending up in the hands of Israel’s enemies, particularly the Javelin shoulder-fired anti-tank missile system.”

With billions missing and armaments gone astray, is it any surprise Zelensky and Ukrainian officials are being investigated for a $100 million embezzlement scheme?  Note: There are actually billions missing.

As money flows and the threat of Ukrainian NATO membership continues, the war will continue.  On December 8, 2025 Congress voted another $400 million for Ukrainian’s next year’s security.  Shouldn’t the embezzlement investigation be settled before we send even more taxpayer money into the same corrupt pot?

Will Zelensky sign a peace accord with an additional $400 million dangling in front of his face?

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban stated,

Brussels is preparing for war with Russia and has already set a target date for joining the war: 2030. 2030 is also the target date for Ukraine’s accelerated accession to the EU….

With Ukraine EU membership and possibly NATO membership still on the table, expect more war with Russia.

Note:  Russia’s TASS news reported on November 11, 2025 that the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) thwarted a plan to bribe pilots of Russian MiG-31 supersonic jets armed with Kinzhal hypersonic missiles.  The mission was reportedly conducted by Ukrainian military intelligence with support from “British handlers.”   The plan was to fly a plane toward NATO’s largest air base” in Romania to “be shot down by air defense, triggering an international incident.”

Is this merely Russian propaganda?  Note:  This was also reported by the Kyiv Post with more details, such as “there has been no immediate comment from Ukraine, NATO, or Bellingcat,” the latter of whom is an investigative group involved with the alleged plot.

Not surprisingly, while Zelensky is supposed to be home reading the peace agreement, he’s in London soliciting even more support.  “British handlers” have helped enough.

Is this Ukrainian leadership the leadership we should be sending more and more money and arms to support?

Continuing his sabotage of the incoming administration, in December 2024, Biden’s administration overthrew the government of Syria, causing Russia to lose one of its two necessary warm water ports, meaning — Russia will now never give up Crimea.

What about Ukrainian elections that were cancelled in March or April of 2024?  Zelensky declared martial law suspending all elections.

Zelensky has heard the “burn baby burn” lyrics of McCartney’s song.  He needs to keep listening, for the song also says, “play the pipes of peace.”
