Remember Steve Bannon? “Flooding the zone with sh*t” and “deconstruction of the administrative state”.
Well, here we are.

The Donbas isn’t Putin’s end game.
If he gets it, he will demand more.
We know this from history and we should learn from history.

Very disappointing. Senior retired Generals should be speaking out in mass against POTUS, SecDef, and SecArmy for this disgusting spectacle at Fort Bragg. Army leadership must take a hard look inward to ensure it doesn’t happen again. Mark Milley tried to warn us and we apparently did learn.
Senior officers of the United States military have an obligation to speak up and be leaders. Where is the Army chief of staff? Will he or others speak truth to the commander in chief and put a stop to the assault on the integrity of his troops? www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
The Silence of the Generals
As President Donald Trump crossed a dangerous line at Fort Bragg, the Army’s brass failed to speak out in its defense.

Stunningly poor understanding by POTUS of the actual state of the war in Ukraine, of why Soldiers “who don’t have the cards” fight (see Vietnam, Afghanistan, American Revolution), and why Ukrainian success is important to American strategic interests.
Trump reposted a message claiming that “Ukraine must be willing to give up part of its territory to Russia, otherwise the longer the war lasts, the more land it will lose.”

Yes, she says that the written complaint didn't capture everything she reported. She said she had mentioned both Clinton and Trump at the time she was reporting Epstein.

Brad Edwards, a lawyer who has represented many Epstein victims, tells us tonight that the the FBI could have prevented hundreds of victims from being abused if they had listened to Maria Farmer.
"Shameful," he says, calling for an investigation.

Maria has been accused over the years of fabricating her story that she had gone to the FBI. After finding the document in the trove, I called her. She broke down in tears.

HUGE NEWS from the new Epstein files:
Records show that Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein, filed a "child pornography" report to the FBI in 1996.
The FBI has never before acknowledged that complaint. The case went nowhere, and mass abuse followed.

The Western world’s geosecurity system, founded on NATO, Five Eyes and other institutions proven effective over decades, is likely now doomed under Trump. The conduct of an amoral and mercantilist US foreign/security policy by his unelected cronies Witkoff and Kushner is incompatible with democracy.

Trump’s new National Security Strategy lays bare the US we must now engage with- a nationalist state, uninterested in promoting democracy, human rights or the RoL. Quite the breach with the country we’ve known/worked with for decades. But do the American people really support this? We must hope not.
