An *Asia Times* article dated September 14, 2026, reports in detail on Russian oligarch Umar Kremlev—a figure who is said to play a significant role in Putin’s inner circle of oligarchs and who, according to the report, recently covered costs amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars for the wedding celebration of Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr., in Florida.
For his part, Donald Trump Jr. has been described by the *Wall Street Journal* as the President’s „most important political advisor.“ Jared Kushner—whom the President frequently employs for key diplomatic missions—was personally present at the celebration, as was Umar Kremlev.
It is also worth reading the numerous interesting details provided by the *Asia Times* regarding Kremlev’s rise—apparently from within criminal milieus. He was recently a member of Putin’s delegation to China.
This article will likely cause people whose political views are shaped by media outlets such as German television channels, *Der Spiegel*, the *FAZ*, etc., to frown in disbelief.
To me, however, it comes as little surprise, as it illustrates a significant aspect of the real-world connections among international capitalist elites.
The USA—even under Trump—remains the primary political initiator and driving force behind a war like the one in Ukraine, a conflict ostensibly waged for the country’s independence „against Putin.“
It is a war that has already cost millions of Ukrainian and Russian soldiers their lives and health, driven millions more out of the country, and led to depopulation; a war that serves the EU as a justification for handing over trillions in public funds to the puppet Zelenskyy, and for shifting its own economy toward war preparations and its societies toward a state of war readiness. And while the slaughter continues in Ukraine (and elsewhere), senior members of the warring elites from both sides are celebrating together in Florida.
I have frequently expressed the view that today’s wars—such as the one in Ukraine—are not seriously fought over victory, defeat, or major territorial gains; rather, they are waged primarily to place the populations of the involved nations (Ukraine, Russia, Germany, the USA, etc.) under martial law, to politically stupefy them, to maneuver them into rallying behind their respective governments, and to strip them of their economic substance.
If this is the case, these elites can naturally celebrate together quite happily, while the people below them are forced to go for each other’s throats. They have—thus far—ably assisted one another in consolidating their respective rule and mistreating the masses.
