Russia has announced a six-month ban on gas and oil exports starting April 1st, a move expected to cause a massive surge in global energy prices.

Donald Trump held a press conference detailing the specific terms of the new European Union trade agreement. Key components include $750 billion in energy purchases, $600 billion in U.S. investments, and hundreds of billions in military equipment sales.

The conflict in Ukraine is described as a "prolonged" proxy war intended to drain resources rather than achieve a quick victory.

The United States has entered a state of economic siege against Russia by banning energy imports, a move that historically constitutes an act of war. This transition is being framed by world leaders as an opportunity for "Build Back Better," though critics argue it will lead to a worldwide collapse and total depression.
