Vitamin R: Dear Jake Broe, The Goal Is Still Total Moral Inversion

Jake, your latest video tracks President Trump’s seeming pivot from blaming Ukraine to blaming Europe. But the danger is not in mistaking the order of these scapegoats. It is in missing the larger pattern.
What you are watching is not a sequence of tactical slips—it is the deliberate deployment of asymmetric warfare at the narrative level. The goal is not persuasion in the conventional sense. The goal is still total moral inversion.
Trump and Putin do not care whether today’s lie contradicts yesterday’s. They thrive on the contradiction. Europe does too little, then too much. Ukraine is corrupt and prolongs the war, then it is a helpless victim that should be pitied before being betrayed again. NATO is weak and should be dissolved, then it is too aggressive and provoking Russia.
Each framed inversion is chosen not for coherence, but for saturation.
This is the essence of the “flood the zone” strategy. By drowning the information space with mutually exclusive narratives, Trump and Putin create exhaustion. The audience ceases to expect consistency and begins to accept only grievance. Responsibility is displaced in every direction but Moscow. The aggressor becomes the defender; the defender becomes the aggressor. That is the essence of total moral inversion.
And Trump positions himself as the arbiter of this truth, because he has said it all before.
This is asymmetric warfare in its most corrosive form. The battlefield is not only Kherson or Crimea, but the Western mind. The weapon is not merely drones or missiles, but weaponized moral confusion. The Kremlin has always understood that weakening clarity in the opponent’s camp is as decisive as destroying tanks. Trump is their channel for this project.
Your analysis is strong when you focus on Ukrainian capabilities and Russian vulnerabilities. But if you are to become the kind of top-tier analyst that your audience needs, you must also track the disinformation war with the same rigor.
Do not treat Trump’s swings between Ukraine and Europe as isolated improvisations. They are the visible surface of a strategy whose endpoint is complete inversion of moral- and battlefield-reality. Until that is recognized, the West will always be fighting uphill—militarily correct, but narratively unarmed.
Glory to Ukraine. Defend the truth, not just the trenches.
