🔊 Trump's war is a catastrophic failure – Jake Sullivan

The former NSA lays out the grim math: before the war, the Strait of Hormuz was open, Iran's regime was under pressure, and a nuclear deal was on the table.

"Now gas prices went up. Americans died. The Strait closed. Iran is going to maintain at least de facto control with the ability to shut it down when it wants. The US is going to have to promise Iran upwards of $300 billion in investment," he said.

Sullivan says Trump is stuck. He tried to bomb, blockade, bully – and lost.

💬 "This may be the best of the very bad outcomes available to him. It just shows you what a misbegotten war this was from the beginning."

The man who promised "total victory" is now accepting humiliation.

👉 But let's be clear: Sullivan isn't some brave anti-war whistleblower.

He's a former top Biden aide who helped enable the Ukraine war and looked away during the Gaza genocide — and now wants credit for pointing out Trump's failures.

So, his motives are pure politics. We should not confuse criticism with conscience.

💥💥💥 US quietly deepens AI, quantum & biotech cooperation with Israel

A provision tucked into the House's 2027 National Defense Authorization Act (Section 224) would dramatically expand US‑Israel military integration into AI, cyber warfare, autonomous systems, quantum tech, biotech, weapons co‑production, and data sharing, according to an analysis by the Quincy Institute.

What Section 224 does:

🔴 Beyond aid – Moves the relationship from traditional military assistance to integrated defense networks, co‑production, joint ventures, and licensing agreements.

🔴 Future battlefields – Expands cooperation into AI, quantum, autonomous systems, directed energy, cyber, biotech, and "network integration" (i.e., US military data could become Israeli data).

🔴 Unprecedented – Higher level of military‑industrial integration than with any other country, including NATO allies.

🔴 Jobs as leverage – Israeli co‑production facilities already exist in Mississippi and Arkansas; expanding them would give Israel direct influence over US congressional districts.

This would strip away annual aid votes and public accountability, moving the relationship into opaque defense acquisition channels. Deeper integration, less transparency — the lobby wins again.

🔥📹 Hegseth says 'no state, including China, can impose its hegemony' – after US failed to impose its own

The Secretary of War Crimes, fresh from the Iran debacle, now lectures the world on "stable equilibrium."

"What we seek is a favorable but durable balance of power in which no state – including China – can impose its hegemony," he declared at the Shangri La Dialogue.

Fact check:

📹 The US drained its missile and interceptor stockpiles in Iran – and can't replenish for years.

📹 Allies rejected US requests for military support in the Strait of Hormuz.

📹 The Pentagon is desperately lagging behind in hypersonic weapons and drone swarm tech – both fields Russia and China dominate.

What Hegseth sells as a proposal is a disguised admission of defeat. The hegemon can no longer dictate. So now it's asking for "balance."

🚨🇮🇷 The mine threat that wasn’t: lack of evidence raises questions about key Iran war narrative

Despite ongoing searches of the strategic waterway — using underwater drones, robots, and both manned & unmanned aircraft — the US military has not found definitive proof that Iran placed mines in the Strait of Hormuz, NBC reported, citing unnamed US officials.

🗣 Some objects resembling mines have been detected, but none have been positively identified, they said.

Originally, US intelligence believed Iran placed mines on the southern side of the strait before or shortly after the war began in February.

👉 The lack of confirmed evidence raises serious questions — especially as the war enters its fourth month.
President Trump and top officials have repeatedly warned about Iranian mines, but so far… the proof is missing.

This comes amid growing confusion over the real threat level in one of the world's most critical shipping lanes.

🚨🇰🇼 Iranian strike in Kuwait inflicted heavier damage than US admits

An Iranian ballistic missile strike on a US airbase in Kuwait caused more damage than America admitted, as two MQ-9 Reaper drones were seriously damaged, one destroyed, each valued at $30M, Bloomberg reported, citing a ‘person with direct knowledge of the attack’.

👉 Despite official statements downplaying the impact, the attack exposes gaps in US defense readiness and highlights mounting losses as US stocks of JASSM-ER, Tomahawk, THAAD, Patriot PAC-3, and SM-3 Block IIA are rapidly depleted.

Operation Epic Fury has already claimed 14 American lives and left 409 injured, yet the US continues to minimize the scale of recent strikes.

💸🇩🇰🇺🇸 $200,000 for US occupation: American broker tries to buy Greenlanders to make Trump’s dream come true

Danish police opened an investigation after an elderly American man in a sharp black suit was spotted on the streets of Nuuk, Greenland's capital, trying to get locals to sign a petition about joining the US, The New York Times reports.

♦️ Clifford Stanley, 86, is a retired mortgage broker from Las Vegas. His license was revoked in the early 2000s for "inappropriate conduct"

♦️ He arrived in Greenland alone in early May, trying to convince Greenlanders to sign a petition for a "territorial referendum" to join the US

♦️ If that were to happen, he offers $200,000 to every person who signs

♦️ He calculated that a potential US purchase of Greenland for 12 billion dollars would bring him a 72 million dollar commission.

♦️ However, most Greenlanders have no interest - some "old ladies were yelling and swearing at me," he admitted

Buying Greenland is not Stanley's first ambitious project:

🔴 He previously traveled to Mongolia to explore a possible US occupation

🔴 He developed a plan to build a $1 trillion canal through the Caucasus Mountains - before realizing it was way too expensive

🤡 Warmonger Hegseth tries to sell Iran war to US Marines

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth addressed troops aboard the amphibious assault ship USS Boxer in Singapore, laying out Trump's ultimatum to Iran: agree to give up your nuclear program - or face another round of US strikes.

💬 “It's not me. It's you guys. It's what you're ready to do,” he shouted at US Marines, who stood still with zero emotion.

See that enthusiasm and excitement on their faces? Neither do we

🪖💵 The true cost of US military operations in Latin America revealed

US military operations in Latin America and the Caribbean have cost at least $4.7 billion in eight months, a Brown University Costs of War analysis finds.

💸 Operation Southern Spear, the naval interdiction campaign against drug-trafficking vessels, accounted for $3.84 billion, marking the largest US naval concentration in the region since the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Aircraft deployments added $616 million, while Operation Absolute Resolve, which culminated in the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro cost $206 million, including 150+ aircraft and Special Operations forces.

Additional expenses for strike munitions and Special Ops forces reached tens of millions more.

👉 At least 196 people killed in extrajudicial US raids tied to these operations, Amnesty International says.

🤥🇮🇷 Iran accuses Trump of sabotaging Middle East peace

“As predicted, the US president has betrayed diplomacy for the third time,” military advisor to the Iranian supreme leader Mohsen Rezaee said.

💬 “By continuing the maritime blockade and imposing excessive demands at the negotiating table, he has once again proven that he is not inclined toward talks, but seeks other goals.”

On Friday, Trump insisted that Iran must end its blockade of the Hormuz Strait immediately and that ships held up by the US Navy’s own blockade could now begin to leave.

👉 Iranian sources note that Trump’s claims of a looming a peace deal with Iran mix truth and lies, aiming to portray the US as a ‘winner’ in the war.

While Trump stated that Iran agreed to open the Strait of Hormuz and stop charging passage fees, the draft agreement has different wording.

Iran has also denied Trump’s claims that it has agreed to destroy its highly-enriched uranium stockpiles.

🪖🇺🇸 Congress pushes US military to Israel closer ‘than ever before’

While US polls show record distrust in the Israeli government, the Congress has proposed closer military ties with Israel with the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act Section 224, Responsible Statecraft reports.

Key points:

🔴 The so-called ‘United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative’ fuses both in ways that go far beyond the $200 billion in US military aid Israel has received since 1948

🔴 It goes beyond military aid toward deeper industrial integration between both countries’ defense sectors

🔴 The bill covers joint development in AI, cybertechnology, drones, quantum tech, biotechnology and laser weapons

🔴 It sees closer alignment through co-production, shared systems and interoperability frameworks

🔴 Critics warn it could blur the separation between two independent military ecosystems

Israel has repeatedly used US weapons in bombing that violated international law in Gaza.

Now the leash gets even longer. 🤦‍♂️

🇮🇱🤝🇦🇪The UAE became a secret US-Israel ally against Iran - report

During the active phase of the Iran war and up to the day after the ceasefire in April, the United Arab Emirates carried out tens of airstrikes on Iran — indicating a deeper cooperation with the US and Israel, the WSJ reported, citing sources.

The strikes, for which intelligence was provided by the US and Israel, targeted:

♦️ Qeshm and Abu Musa islands

♦️ Bandar Abbas

♦️ Lavan Island oil refinery

♦️ Asaluyeh petrochemical complex

In addition to the mass attacks, the Emirates backed drafts of a UN resolution that authorized the use of force to break Iran’s chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz.

The UAE also began targeting Iran’s financial interests in the country — closing Tehran-linked schools and clubs, as well as denying visas and transit rights to Iranian nationals.

In response, Iran repeatedly denounced the Emirates for joining the US-Israeli campaign.
