Here’s my breakdown of how it’s playing out and likely to continue playing out in 2026.

WEEKLY ROUNDUP: Trump warns of China’s ‘strange’ activity of withholding key products from U.S., Israel-Hamas agree to Trump’s peace deal, and Christians continue to be slaughtered in Africa

Posting on Truth Social on Friday, President Trump issued another one of his warnings to a fellow superpower that it had better mind its manners, or else!

Typically it’s Russia that gets the brunt of public shaming from U.S. officials, but this time it was China.

Trump is worried, as well he should be, about China’s latest behavior and efforts to withhold crucial products from the United States.

Trump fires globalist neocon national security adviser Mike Waltz

Could this be the beginning of a neocon purge? If so, there are more of these war mongering globalists in Trump’s inner circle who need to go.

Trump makes bizarre statement about U.S. joining British Commonwealth of Nations as ‘associate member’, says ‘I love King Charles!’

By itself, this comment could be dismissed as mere trolling. But taken in context with other comments about Canada, some believe we should take Trump at his word. Then there’s the Curtis Yarvin factor and the ‘Technate’

I have often wondered if the media persona surrounding Donald Trump as being a “Russian asset,” has been part of a grand deception.

Watching how he has played the Russia-Ukraine peace talks forces me to consider that Trump’s reputation may be part of a plot to deceive Russia and Putin. Let me explain.

A top Russian member of parliament is urging President Vladimir Putin to employ Oreshnik hypersonic missiles in response to a major Ukrainian drone attack Tuesday morning targeting residential areas and civilian infrastructure inside Russia.

Keir Starmer’s coalition of the wimpering

European elites are pushing for a war they are not prepared to fight against an enemy they cannot defeat without pushing the world to the edge of nuclear armageddon. At that point, all bets are off.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer closed out what amounted to a war summit in London Sunday by pledging more billions for missiles to Ukraine and committing to British “boots on the ground and planes in the sky.”

He called for a “coalition of the willing” to bolster his war effort against Russia.

No laughing matter: Unmasking comedian Zelensky’s deception and his role in the globalist war on humanity

On the three-year anniversary of the start of the Russia-Ukraine war, I would like to feature this excellent essay by Amil Amani, an Iranian-American writer/analyst with expertise in international affairs and Islam.

By Amil Imani

When Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky quickly became a global symbol of resistance. Celebrated as a heroic leader standing up against a powerful foe, he appeared on television screens worldwide, calling for support and unity in the face of the Russian threat.
