The US has already sanctioned Russia, and sanctions rarely work in such situations. If Trump wants to put pressure on Putin, he must boost support for Ukraine and enable it to dismantle Russia’s military-industrial complex. Otherwise,it’s just weak rhetoric that Putin will ignore

Safe to say, 2024 was a brutal year for Iran. It saw its power weaken in just about every way imaginable. The Shia crescent is no more. Hezbollah was crushed & the Assad regime fell. Iran was exposed as completely vulnerable to Israeli airstrikes & unable to mount an effective defense of its own…1/

A lot of people have taken the wrong lesson from the Iraq War and, for some reason, think that there is no just cause for fighting a war. Russia invaded Ukraine,and it’s just for Ukraine to defend itself against Russia, just as it’s just for a woman to fight off a man who is sexually assaulting her.

I wish more people understood that a well-funded, robust military is not just a tool of war; it is a foundation for peace. Only through strength can we maintain the peace we so desperately need to create a prosperous future for generations to come.

Ukraine's membership in NATO is crucial for regional stability and security. Ukraine has demonstrated its commitment to democratic values and defense capabilities. NATO membership would provide Ukraine with the security assurances it needs to deter further aggression.

Putin handled the loss of Syria through evacuation and silence, showing that he is capable of doing so when necessary.

Rebel forces are confidently advancing towards the city of Homs and the Kurds are advancing in central Syria.
It’s still too soon to say, but it does seem like Assad’s military is crumbling.

NATO must arm Ukraine with long-range missiles capable of striking Russia’s military production facilities (e.g. factories)
Bring the war to Russia’s military-industrial base or it will drag on indefinitely.
