America can take Kharg Island. It just can't keep it or protect US troops from drones. Petraeus: "We do not have good deployable counter-drone capabilities right now." The 82nd Airborne wants to act on it. Iran's drones made it impossible. That is the real lesson of this war. youtu.be/6jlMfZc2b4o

Trump is meeting Xi with no leverage and no deliverables. China is dictating the terms — on US soil. Iran a disaster. Greenland a joke. Midterms looming. China set its red lines before Xi even boarded the plane. Taiwan is the real subtext. Watch carefully. youtu.be/kdU9VIhtavo?...
The AFD elected a former neo-Nazi as General Secretary. It is polling at 41% in Saxony-Anhalt. Ben Hodges lives in Germany: "A part of Germany is drifting back towards the past." The states most anti-immigrant have the fewest immigrants. The AFD is winning on a lie. youtu.be/Hn8Bklf2KAc

Putin spent 25 years perfecting a system for staying in power. It destroyed everything else in Russia. Professor Sally Paine: "Russia's toast. Putin is going to keep doubling down till he dies." When he dies — a free-for-all. No succession. No rule of law. No plan. youtu.be/tpElUf-A4Xc

Putin wants to mobilise 1.8 million Russian's. A generation sacrificed for his failed war. Samoilov, with sources inside Russia: "Only with bodies. That's the only option left." Ukraine is fighting a war of drones. Putin is sending men. This is the beginning of the end. youtu.be/SFudxTwuB08

Russia's greatest strength was its vastness. Ukraine just turned it into its greatest weakness. Ben Hodges said it clearest: "I'd hate to be the commander of Russia's missile defence forces. That guy is going to lose every day." Russia can't protect all of it. youtu.be/Hn8Bklf2KAc
Ukraine figured out how to defeat Russia. NATO is finally catching up. General David Petraeus said it clearest: “Instead of three tank brigades, four unmanned systems brigades.” Software changes every week. Hardware every three weeks. The West is learning. youtu.be/uyJXwbwbWoY

Russia sends soldiers to the front with 2 weeks of training. Ukraine captures them before they've learned to fight. General David Petraeus: "Sworn in, given a uniform, told to run across the street." Putin promised Russian greatness. He's delivering Russian graves. youtu.be/6jlMfZc2b4o

🇮🇷 Iran thinks controlling the Strait of Hormuz makes it untouchable. It doesn't. General David Petraeus says: 10 million barrels a night through alternative routes. That's the number that ends Iran's leverage entirely. America is quietly making geography irrelevant. youtu.be/6jlMfZc2b4o?...

Europe knows about Russian sabotages. But chooses silence over accountability, and Putin knows it. Anders Åslund, says: "Intelligence agencies don't want to publicise anything if they can avoid it, nor do they want to prosecute if they can avoid it." This is wrong. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdWt...

Ukraine isn't just hitting Putin's oil. It's ending Russia as an energy superpower. @peterzeihan.bsky.social: "This is the end of Russia as a significant energy exporter." 140 attacks in six weeks. 3-4 million barrels a day gone. Wells that can't be restarted once they stop. youtu.be/HwMXWMhWt_Y
Russia stopped counting its own people in 2006 — because it didn't like the number. Geopolitical strategist Peter Zeihan: "That's never happened in human history." Moscow isn't hiding a statistic. It's hiding a missing generation. Follow for more. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwMX...

Netanyahu warned that a new Muslim military alliance could emerge. His own actions in Gaza and Lebanon helped form it. The Middle East binary is dead. Three blocs now exist. Countries have options. Two regional security architectures. America trying to straddle both. youtu.be/Hbz7fDA7T7s?...

The Islamic NATO just launched. It could transform the Middle East. And the truth is crazier than anyone realises. Turkey. Saudi Arabia. Pakistan. The pact says an attack on one "should" be considered an attack on all. The Middle East binary is dead. Three blocs now. youtu.be/Hbz7fDA7T7s?...
