President Donald Trump made an announcement Monday aligning him more firmly with Ukraine’s defense against Russia’s invasion than ever before. The US will send weapons to Ukraine through NATO, the president said during a meeting in the Oval Office with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. Trump also laid out a new deadline for Russia — threatening trade consequences, including secondary sanctions, if a peace deal isn’t reached in 50 days. Even before the weapons announcement, which the president had telegraphed last week, the hawks were celebrating. Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina previewed the announcement Sunday as a “turning...

Lindsey Graham says in the coming days, Trump will unleash weapons to Ukraine "at a record level," along with enacting unprecedented sanctions against Russia

President Donald Trump has officially thrown his weight behind RINO Lindsey Graham—whose record includes climate pandering, open-borders showmanship, and globe-trotting war-baiting—in the 2026 Senate race.“Happy Birthday to Senator Lindsey Graham!” Trump posted, along with a smiling golf-course photo of the two. “He is always there when I need him, and I hope everyone in the Great State of South Carolina will help Lindsey have a BIG WIN in his re-election bid next year.”But if the goal was to rally the MAGA faithful around the career politician, Trump may be in for a surprise.“Thank you, Mr. President! This means a great...

Speaking on the State TV channel Russia-1, pro-government host Vladimir Solovyov warned that Russia could destroy both US coasts using nuclear-powered Poseidon torpedoes—underwater weapons designed to trigger a “radioactive tsunami.” During the broadcast, Solovyov directly addressed US President Donald Trump: “Will Trump understand that two Poseidons, launched from different sides, could wipe out the US and create a radioactive disaster? That would be the end—nothing will save them.” “No protective element will help them,” Solovyov declared, referring to US missile defense systems. Framing the hypothetical strike as a response to “Western aggression,” he suggested that Washington underestimates Russia’s capabilities and...

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said he expressed the United States' frustration that more progress has not been made on ending the war in Ukraine in a meeting on Thursday with Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov. "It was a frank conversation. It was an important one," Rubio said his 50-minute talks with the Russian foreign minister on the sidelines of the ASEAN foreign ministers' meeting in Malaysia. He said he expressed to Lavrov what U.S. President Donald Trump has said publicly, "that there's not been more flexibility on the Russian side to bring about an end to this conflict." The envoys'...

For the first time in a generation, the United States is exclusively pursuing its vital interests, not the ambitions of its NatSec elites.President Donald Trump’s decision to bomb Iran’s nuclear facilities last week might be a historical turning point. In a single stroke, Trump defanged the world’s leading state sponsor of terror. He radically reshaped the Middle East in favor of the United States’ interests and allies. And he sent an unequivocal message — roughly translated as “FAFO” — to enemies around the world.The War Party’s Consistent Aim For Americans wary of foreign military adventurism, Operation “Midnight Hammer” may have...

We've spent the last 25 years bringing "freedom" and "democracy" to countries around the globe while our own country has been systematically invaded and now our largest cities are run by foreigners and communists. If you want to know why I'm so avowedly non-interventionist, this is why. 9:40 AM · Jun 25, 2025 · 277.4K Views

Never-Trumper Bill Kristol proclaimed the revival neo-conservatism after President Donald Trump bombed Iran’s nuclear facilities and mused that perhaps the “current regime” was incapable of making Iran “great.”Earlier in the weekend, Trump ordered attacks on three key sites in Iran’s uranium enrichment infrastructure, which were carried out using 30,000-pound bunker-busting bombs. Then, on Sunday, he mused that if the current regime was “unable to MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN, why wouldn’t there be a Regime change??? MIGA!!!”In response, Kristol quipped back, “brb – starting up PNAC again…” referencing the defunct neoconservative think tank Project for the New American Century (PNAC), which...

I hope I’m wrong that the war drummers demanding an immediate strike because the ‘window of opportunity is now’ are all based on dubious or simply nonexistent evidence. Tulsi Gabbard et al. was evidently wrong that Iran is not assembling and mounting a nuclear device on a delivery system to unleash on Israel — much less the United States — now.I hope I’m wrong that the decades-long histrionics claiming Iran is merely months, weeks, days, hours, minutes (seconds?) away from obtaining a nuclear device by Netanyahu, et al. is yet again demonstrably false fear mongering.I hope I’m wrong that the...

I spent millions of my own money and TRAVELED THE ENTIRE COUNTRY campaigning for President Trump and his MAGA agenda and his promises. And Trump’s MAGA agenda included these key promises: NO MORE FOREIGN WARS. NO MORE REGIME CHANGE. WORLD PEACE. And THIS is what the people voted for. Only 6 months in and we are back into foreign wars, regime change, and world war 3. It feels like a complete bait and switch to please the neocons, warmongers, military industrial complex contracts, and neocon tv personalities that MAGA hates and who were NEVER TRUMPERS! After the bombs were dropped,...

You knew this was coming. Cristina Laila reported: President Trump on Saturday evening announced the US dropped bombs on three nuclear sites in Iran. “We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. All planes are now outside of Iran air space. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home. Congratulations to our great American Warriors. There is not another military in the World that could have done this. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE! Thank you for...

Laura Loomer @LauraLoomer BREAKING: President Trump confirms the US just BOMBED all 3 Nuclear sites in Iran. He said all US planes are now on their way home. Thank you, President Trump! 🇺🇸 6:53 PM · Jun 21, 2025

Many Americans are shocked at how quickly the Trump administration seems to have regressed from one that prioritized diplomacy to one that’s itching to drop bombs on a foreign country half a world away. In many ways, Donald Trump is unlike any president in recent memory. During his first term, he presided over one of the most peaceful four years in a long time — relatively speaking, of course. The most glaring accomplishment, if non-actions can be categorized as such, was that he did not catapult the United States into a new, drawn-out war. This is a low bar, but...

Jack Poso 🇺🇸 @JackPosobiec The neocons are now targeting Tulsi Gabbard to make it seem like she was against the President on intelligence In fact, she directly reported that Iran was enriching uranium The warhawks are trying to push her out and pressure Trump into starting a war 5:27 PM · Jun 20, 2025 ·

Iran could produce a nuclear weapon in the space of a “couple of weeks,” the White House says, as US President Donald Trump debates whether to take military action against the Islamic Republic. “Iran has all that it needs to achieve a nuclear weapon. All they need is a decision from the supreme leader to do that, and it would take a couple of weeks to complete the production of that weapon,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt tells reporters.

Remember all the infamous one-liners from the Global War on Terror? In the years after 9/11, when the neocon establishment in Washington was pushing ahead with its disastrous wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, they were everywhere. It’s a slam dunk case! We have to fight them over there so we don’t have to fight them over here. We’ll be greeted as liberators. Islam is a religion of peace. Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists. God has planted in every heart the desire to live in freedom.Those last two are direct quotes from President George W....

Mike Pence: "If Israel needs our help to ensure that the Iranian nuclear program is destroyed once and for all, the United States of America needs to be prepared to do it." ... [Video at URL]

President Donald Trump’s Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, testified in March that the intel community continues to assess that Iran has not resumed trying to build a nuclear weapon since the program was suspended by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in 2003. Testifying before the Senate Intelligence Committee on March 27 to provide the Intelligence Community’s 2025 Annual Threat Assessment, Gabbard stated in no uncertain terms, the United States intelligence community “continues to assess that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has not authorized the nuclear weapons program he suspended in 2003.”“The...

CAIRO: Iran has warned the United States, United Kingdom and France that their bases and ships in the region will be targeted if they help stop Tehran’s strikes on Israel, Iran state media reported on Saturday.

Then-citizen Donald Trump predicted in November 2011 video that then-President Barack Obama would start a war with Iran in order to get re-elected in 2012."Our president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate. He’s weak and he’s ineffective. So the only way he figures that he’s going to get re-elected, and as sure as you're sitting there, is to start a war with Iran."
