The USA has joined the ranks of the world's post-heroic countries that cannot tolerate even a few casualties to defend even major interests. 82nd troops & Marines in place w ample air support to cut risks did not occupy the Gulf islands to keep the seaways open. WH said no

Khorasan newspaper, an official outlet close to Iran's Parliament Speaker and chief negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, openly published that a potential deal with the U.S. is not a settlement. They explicitly called it a “breathing space to rebuild offensive and defensive combat power and prepare for the final, full-scale battle”. This is the smoking gun. When they sign a document, they are not investing in peace; they are buying time to weaponize and prepare for a global catastrophe. The West is funding its own ultimate destruction.

Putin lives in a reality that is increasingly detached from the actual state of things. Most likely, he is being provided only with information that he is expected to like. Putin wants the war to continue. He is supported by a relatively small group of "hawks" and "Z-patriots," who make up roughly 29 percent. There is also a silent majority that has started to feel the effects of economic problems and is increasingly experiencing fear caused by Ukrainian drone strikes and, likely, the prospect of mobilization. They are the ones who could eventually erupt. The key question is whether a group of people will emerge within Russia itself, above all among its elites, who understand that the war is destroying Russia itself and who will be able to do something about it, one way or another.

For 48 hours this girl has been getting cooked on here… Like I mean flame broiled. Can anyone explain why?

EXCLUSIVE: 🚨 @TulsiGabbard Recycled Published Russian Intelligence And Claimed It Was An Official American Intelligence Document In Her Latest Act Of Deception Days Before She Is Set To “Resign” As DNI 🚨 In her “Ukrainian Bio lab” document “declassification” release this week, I’ve discovered that DNI Tulsi Gabbard used graphics from official Russian intelligence documents and slapped an ODNI @ODNIgov logo on top of these same documents to present them as an official intel report created by the US government. Upon further analysis of Tulsi Gabbard’s most recent declassification related to Ukraine, I have discovered evidence that she is directly peddling Russian government propaganda. Here’s the evidence: Source: dni.gov/files/BIOLAB_Slides.… Slide 1 ironically includes an IC assessment that claims Russia will attempt to spread false narratives about the US’s bio labs in Ukraine, which is exactly what @TulsiGabbard just helped the Russian Government do. Slide 2 contains an AI generated map of Ukraine which is clearly not an IC product, and which contains basic spelling and geographical errors, making a mockery of the US government. Slide 4 contains the internal work product of an American corporation (Black and Veatch) that worked with the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) in Ukraine. The Russian Government claims to have captured these documents during their invasion of Ukraine. The Russian Government then widely publicized these products in their own official reports in 2022. Gabbard’s political staff (not IC analysts) recycled published propaganda of the Russian Government in an attempt to spread false narratives while falsely claiming the slideshow she released this week is an original work product of US intel agencies. Page 83 of the following document presented by the Russian Government to the UN Security Council shows the exact figure that Gabbard recycled in slide 4 of her release this week. Source: the-trench.org/wp-content/up… Gabbard’s intent with this deception is to conflate the biological safety work being done to prevent dangerous uses of Soviet era pathogens (which has been publicly disclosed since 2005 as the Nunn-Lugar Cooperative Threat Reduction framework) with bioweapons production so that Russia has another manufactured excuse to continue its prolonged war with Ukraine. Let’s be clear: there is no evidence that Ukraine in its longstanding cooperative program with the US has engaged in Gain of Function or biological weapons research. But what is clear is Tulsi Gabbard and her staff promulgated Russian intelligence products as American work, in violation of the Espionage Act. My FOIA request to ODNI regarding the production of these documents is being submitted on Monday morning. By law, ODNI has 10 business days to respond. I look forward to reading the emails. The Trump administration should order ODNI to take these Russian documents down today. This is embarrassing for the Trump administration. Nice to know ODNI gets their “intel” and their graphics from Russian intelligence. See photographic evidence below 👇🏻

🚨 VP Vance: Even the Second World War ended with an agreement. Factually: The US demand from both Japan and Nazi Germany was "unconditional surrender". And so it was. Either Vance is lying to sell a horrible deal he made, or he is a total moron and unfit for office
