In our latest Thursday 7 AM ET national security column at @thehill.com, @jonsweet.bsky.social took the lead for us in examining Putin’s remaining options in Ukraine. Link below.

Our INTREP360 Intelligence Report for 09.09.2026 is live. Today, Col. @jonsweet.bsky.social, U.S. Army (ret.) & I examine whether Zelensky was in Putin’s crosshairs in Moldova as well as sweep the globe for the top stories impacting U.S. national security. Link below.

Make of this what you will. Could be electioneering ahead of Texas campaign trip. Could be Trump messaging Iran. Could be both. Or it could be a 'nothing burger.' truthsocial.com/@realDonaldT...

@jonsweet.bsky.social took the lead for us in penning our INTREP360 Intelligence Report for 09.08.2026. Building on my @tvpworld.bsky.social hit Monday evening, Jon pried himself away from college football & took a deep dive into Putin’s options to try to survive his war in Ukraine. Link below.

ICYMI, yesterday on @tvpworld.bsky.social, I said this call would be pointless unless Trump told Putin that his special military operation in Ukraine is failing. Yet Ushakov, Putin’s chief foreign policy aide, said Putin told Trump that Russia is winning. TVP link below.

Despite my Nashville media days in the 1990s, I somehow missed that Dolly Parton recorded this version of Cat Stevens’ Peace Train. While I write & commentate on war, Peace on Earth - true to my 1960s & 1970s’ DNA - always remains my ultimate, if elusive goal. Link below.

Always honored to be on @tvpworld.bsky.social. Tonight’s segment was hosted by Ayşe Abacı. We discussed Witkoff & Kushner’s trips to Moscow & Kyiv and I didn’t hold back. I said unless Trump tells Putin he is losing in Ukraine, these talks will not go anywhere but sideways. Link below.

Please join me today at 21:17 CET (3:17 PM ET) on @tvpworld.bsky.social. We will be discussing the latest on the Witkoff-Kushner talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin & Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The program is in English. tvpworld.com

Sending Kushner to Moscow is like sending a lamb to the slaughter. He has no clue whatsoever how geopolitics work. It’s not business. It’s a competition on multiple levels of which business is only one factor of many. Kushner & Witkoff’s naïveté is stunning.

The delusion, if not desperation, runs deep in Moscow. And that’s just Witkoff & Kushner. Putin & Ushakov are even more delusional & desperate.

Please join me at the bottom of this hour on @Alqaheranewstv. We will be discussing the NDDA’s proposed legislation that includes a provision for the U.S.-Israel Defense Technology Initiative. alqaheranews.net

While taking the lead for us in our INTREP360 Intelligence Report for 09.02.2026, @jonsweet.bsky.social channeled his inner Seinfeld assessing that Iran’s reaction to Trump’s latest threats is essentially ‘Yada, Yada, Yada.’ Rinsing & repeating is a recipe for a stalemate. Link below.

In our latest Thursday 7 AM ET national security column at @thehill.com, Col. @jonsweet.bsky.social, U.S. Army (ret.) & I warn the White House that in Iran they are unwisely following in the footsteps of Lyndon Johnson’s failed Operation Rolling Thunder in Vietnam. Link below.

Our INTREP360 Intelligence Report for 09.01.2026 is live. Today, Col. @jonsweet.bsky.social, U.S. Army (ret.) & I warn the White House that unless Trump wants to turn Iran into Vietnam 2.0, he must get out of Adm. Cooper’s way. Link below.

Retaliation alone. Has never won a war. What’s POTUS’ plan to win this one? Especially since Iran is not going to capitulate.

In our INTREP360 Intelligence Report for 08.31.2026, Col. @jonsweet.bsky.social, U.S. Army (ret.) took the lead for us in setting up what was behind today’s renewed CENTCOM attacks on Iran that are still underway as I post this. Link below.

Earlier today, on Alqahera News Tv, when asked, I stated I believed the U.S. would escalate kinetic attacks on the IRGC as messaging. CENTCOM just announced they are doing just that.

Please join me on @Alqaheranewstv in a ten minutes or to discuss Trump’s latest threats to ‘hit Iran hard.’ alqaheranews.net/ar

Crazy times. POTUS, at times, sees the Iran war as a video game, while Tehran fights back with LEGO block clips. Not clear if this is a threat or a guarantee. I suspect the former.

My apologies. I forgot to post that our INTREP360 Intelligence Report for 08.27.206 was live. Col. @jonsweet.bsky.social, U.S. Army (ret.) took the lead for us in examining who really controls the Strait of Hormuz six months into the Iran war. Link below.

Our INTREP360 Intelligence Report for 08.28.2026 Is live. Today, @jonsweet.bsky.social & I argue it’s time to begin re-Imagineering NATO on a global basis so that it’s fit for purpose in the 21st century. Link below.

ICYMI, my interview yesterday on @tvpworld.bsky.social re: CIA Director John Ratcliffe’s meetings in Moscow. Despite POTUS’ claim, they were anything but “semi-routine.” tvpworld.com/95046130/exp...

CIA chief’s visit to Moscow a ‘serious message’ to Putin

The last visit by a CIA director to Moscow was shortly before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
