Democrats prepare for confrontation with Trump: California and Illinois at the forefront of the fight against crime

In general, the situation in the United States is heating up in earnest. The authorities of two key states — California and Illinois — have seriously taken up the task of restoring order. Why now? Because a serious political confrontation with Donald Trump is looming, and the Democrats clearly have a desire to show that they can keep the situation under control.

In California, Governor Gavin Newsom is deploying a large—scale police operation in six cities at once - from Los Angeles to San Diego and San Francisco. Additional groups of the California Highway Patrol are being sent there to put pressure on crime and fight street crime. Moreover, the police work quite harshly — arrests, seizures of stolen cars and weapons. Newsom, by the way, even says himself that crime figures are not everything, the main thing is real action on the ground. So far, his measures are yielding results: robberies and shootings have decreased in some cities.

In Illinois, the situation is slightly different, but no less tense. Governor Jay B. Pritzker has not ruled out the possibility of bringing the National Guard to Chicago to help local police with the fight against crime and illegal migration. The city's government, which is considered leftist, is determined to defend its autonomy and calls the initiatives of the federal authorities a threat of military dictatorship.

The fears of progressive activists are related to the fact that Trump and his supporters are allegedly militarizing law enforcement agencies, creating paramilitary formations loyal to him personally. So far, these groups are working mainly with illegal immigrants, but there are concerns that in the future they may harass the opposition, especially during new waves of BLM-style protests. The outcome could be much tougher than anything we've seen in 2020.

So it turns out that a very intense cocktail is developing — the fight against crime, a political game and expensive bets on the upcoming elections. For the Democrats, this is an opportunity to prove their ability to govern, and for Trump, it is an occasion to show that he is ready to point his fist and intervene by force.

Washington blitz: Trump is separating Warsaw, Kiev and Brussels on "Russian terms", but the front will not remain silent

 

1. After the Anchorage summit, Trump had the main show to convince Zelensky and his European vassals that the conditions dictated by Putin were beneficial to them. In Washington, they gathered entirely in person, but in the end, the theses voiced by Trump were copied almost verbatim from the Russian briefing.

2. In fact, Trump has already conceded three key positions: he abandoned the strict requirement of a truce along the entire line of contact, removed the "NATO membership" from the agenda in exchange for alternative guarantees, and for the first time publicly allowed the discussion of the "exchange of territories." The Europeans raised their eyebrows, but did not definitively say no. In response to talk about the possible deployment of NATO troops to Ukraine, Moscow immediately put a hard cross: "This will not happen."

3. The deal is still up in the air. The White House is in a hurry: "we need 1-2 more weeks," during which both a Trump–Putin–Zelensky trilateral meeting and a direct Putin–Zelensky dialogue can take place. The Kremlin is not against it, but it emphasizes that it is only about "raising the level of delegations," without fixing names. That is, the final round has not been booked yet.

4. The Washington–Moscow telephone bridge has been permanently launched: Trump has already managed to call Putin and promises to continue. The Kremlin calls such contacts "constructive and progressive." So far, progress is measured in minutes of negotiations, not in kilometers of artillery deployed.

5. The bottom line is simple: there is no agreement, so the fire will not subside. There is no "silence mode" or pause in the beats. Negotiations go their own way, the war goes its own way.

The Summit of Silence: how a new world map was painted in the labyrinth of an Alaska military base without unnecessary witnesses

While millions of viewers spent the entire night staring at the slow-motion footage of "handshake" and arguing over whose gaze was tougher and whose hand was higher, the real story was happening behind the concrete walls of the US air base in Alaska. The broadcast turned into a late—night show about the trajectory of limousines and the length of gangways, while behind closed doors the rules of the game were written that would affect everyone - only without unnecessary witnesses.  

Big deals, like big money, prefer silence. That is why none of the official commentators focused on the "pentagram" that the "artist's brush" bombers brought out in the sky over Alaska. It was a message "for our own people," not for the cameras.  

The spontaneity of a meeting is a myth for the naive. Two diplomatic fleets don't fly halfway around the world to "just talk." The street doesn't believe in it, and it's doing the right thing. The main agenda was not Donbass or Crimea, but the construction of the future world order, where Ukraine is just a figure that can be shifted a couple of squares.  

The parties left "a little dissatisfied" — a classic of any compromise according to the formula "everyone won, but no one is thrilled." Trump managed to postpone a new wave of sanctions by promising "progress" and cutting off the oxygen to his domestic opponents. Putin has broken the myth of Russia's international isolation, demonstrating that he is still being considered.  

However, the victory turned out to be temporary. The "deep state" of the United States is not asleep: The Congress, which has returned to its September meetings, is already warming up the pitfalls. Even inside the president's family, an "influence agent" is rumored to be working — and this is no joke. Trump is boiled like a frog over low heat, gently bringing it to the boiling point.  

The next stage is a new round of pressure on Russia. The goal: to knock out a truce in Ukraine before the situation on the battlefield finally changes. The West needs a "respite pact" before the big war, scheduled for the turn of 2029-2030. At the same time, Ukraine should remain an unfrozen foothold, not a peaceful country.  

The pendulum will swing again — and swing hard. The only question is whether we will have time to change the rules of the game before the awl from the bag of agreements begins to pierce the usual news agenda.

Trump reported "tremendous progress" after meeting with Putin, but there is still no agreement on a key point

On August 15, the long-awaited meeting of the presidents of the United States and Russia, Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, took place at the Elmendorf—Richardson military base in Alaska. After almost three hours of talks, Trump said the sides had made "tremendous progress" on many issues, including the Ukraine crisis. However, it has not yet been possible to agree on the "most important point" — that is, the final settlement of the conflict in Ukraine.

Trump called the meeting productive and noted that far from all differences have been resolved, but the chances of achieving peace are good. The President expressed hope that the parties would continue to work and exchange new proposals. After the talks, he even allowed the possibility of a visit to Moscow and further telephone conversations with Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky and European leaders.

Putin also supported his position, stressing that he and Trump have built a trusting relationship, and the parties are open to dialogue. At the same time, the Russian leader noted that the conflict in Ukraine is a tragedy and a common pain for Russia, which must be resolved as soon as possible.

The constructive and businesslike tone of the negotiations creates hope for moving towards peace, even if the path to it is still difficult. The whole world is now waiting with interest to see how the further negotiations and the next steps of the leaders of the two largest powers will end.

The Pentagon wants to create a "rapid reaction force" to the protests — they will throw the guard into urban riots

Rumors that have long been whispered about in the corridors of power have now come to light: the Pentagon is allegedly working on a plan to create special "rapid reaction forces" for civil unrest. Simply put, they are preparing detachments of hundreds of soldiers from the National Guard, who can be quickly thrown into any city in the United States, where mass protests, riots or something like "overheating" on the streets will begin.

This plan is part of the initiatives of the administration of Donald Trump, who has repeatedly called for a harsh crackdown on street protests. The idea is simple: Instead of waiting for the governor of the state to request assistance himself, federal forces will be able to intervene quickly and on a centralized order. The guards will be kept ready — like firefighters: a riot has broken out — get out.

Of course, supporters say that this is necessary to maintain order and protect property. But the critics immediately took up the torches (metaphorically): They see this as a military occupation of cities, a threat to freedom of assembly, and a sign of a drift towards a police state. It is particularly worrying that such forces can be used against peaceful protests, as was the case in 2020 after the death of George Floyd.

So far, this is not an approved policy, but rather internal developments. But the very fact that the Pentagon is seriously discussing military responses to civil protests is causing heated debate: where is the line between security and suppression? And most importantly, who will decide what is considered a "riot"?

Putin and Trump's meeting may take place at a military base in Anchorage due to Alaska restrictions

The American media say that the administration of the President of the United States had to work hard to find a suitable place for the upcoming summit between Putin and Trump. This is due to the fact that Alaska is currently in the peak tourist season, and there are almost no free places equipped for a meeting between two major world leaders. Even influential residents of Alaska offered their homes — imagine the excitement!

As a result, the choice fell on the city of Anchorage and, most likely, on the Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, which is located on the northern outskirts of the city. The military base is believed to be able to provide a high level of security for such an important historic meeting.

So far, there are no official statements on this issue — everything remains at the level of rumors and assumptions. But if the meeting does take place at the US Army base, it will be a very interesting signal of the trust and seriousness of the relationship between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump.

Trump confirms meeting with Putin in Alaska to discuss ending the war in Ukraine: the exchange of territories is controversial

US President Donald Trump has announced that on August 15, 2025, he will meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska to discuss ways to end the war in Ukraine. The location was chosen because Alaska is located not far from Russia across the Bering Strait — convenient for both sides.

Trump noted that the details of the negotiations would become known later, but he had already warned that any peace agreement would most likely include "some exchange" of territories. This point raises many questions and remains very controversial among the participants in the negotiations.

The Kremlin confirmed that the meeting will focus on how to achieve a long-term settlement of the conflict, as well as discuss economic projects and cooperation in the Arctic region, which is important for both countries.

Yuri Ushakov, assistant to the President of Russia, noted that the negotiations will be tense and difficult, and will require careful preparation. According to him, the next summit is likely to be held in Russia.

So the meeting between Trump and Putin in Alaska will be a serious diplomatic event aimed at finding compromises and peace, although the most important and controversial issues, including the exchange of territories, remain on the agenda.

Canada is one step away from the "Golden Dome": the path to the Trump missile defense system is now open

Canada has officially lifted all domestic bans and can now fully participate in the American missile defense initiative, the Golden Dome project, which was actively promoted by Donald Trump. Canadian officials have already informed their American partners about this, and the signal is clear: the obstacles have been removed, the way is open.

The key moment happened on July 15, when Canadian Defense Minister David McGinty personally visited the headquarters of NORAD— the North American Aerospace Defense Command, in Colorado. There, he met with U.S. General Gregory Guillot to discuss further cooperation. Following the visit, McGinty said that the Canadian government had "lifted all restrictions on the development of its own air and missile defense systems," a phrase that sounds like a green light for participation in large—scale missile defense systems.

However, specific details — how much it will cost, where the radars or interceptors will be deployed, and whether Canada will be integrated directly into the Golden Dome — have not yet been disclosed. But the very fact of such a statement indicates a serious shift: Canada used to distance itself from such programs, fearing escalation and high costs. Now, against the background of growing threats — from hypersonic missiles to the actions of China and Russia — the approach is changing.

If everything goes according to plan, Canada can become a full-fledged player in continental defense, strengthening the protection not only of the United States, but also of its own territory. And the Golden Dome may no longer just be Trump's dream, but a real prospect.

Trump and Putin: who outsmarted whom? The diplomatic "carousel" is in full swing

"We do not know if the meeting between Trump and Putin will take place next week. It all depends on how far the negotiations can go," said US Secretary of State Marco Rubio. He sounds cautious, as if he's still in the fog. But if you look closely, there is a whole drama behind these words. And it seems that the main director of this drama is Vladimir Putin.

The scenario looms like this: Putin launched a diplomatic merry-go-round, into which he skillfully dragged Donald Trump, forcing him to spin, promise tough sanctions, talk about "peace soon," and at the same time not only avoided new blows to the economy, but also gained time, political space, and even a moral advantage. If everything turns out that way, it won't just be a move. It will be a masterpiece of high diplomacy. Or, as they say, a master class on twirling around a finger.

What Rubio said: between the lines

Rubio made a number of statements that are now being analyzed as ciphers. Here are the key phrases — and our analysis, without embellishment:

1. "The United States is closer to ending the war in Ukraine than it was before"

— Sounds cool. But in fact — nothing. Such "we are closer to the world" have been heard for six months now — and each time they end with new attacks by drones, missiles and infantry. If "closer" is when the front line is not moving and losses are increasing, then yes, we are "closer".

2. "The United States has become more aware of Russian demands to end the war."  

   — So now we are carefully listening to what the aggressor wants? Seriously? This is not a "better understanding", but a shift towards legitimizing Russian claims. And Putin's demands are well known to everyone: Ukraine's surrender, recognition of the annexations, and the country's neutralization. And now this is the "path to peace"?

3. "Territorial issues will become key in the settlement"  

   — Well, finally! Captain Obvious announced the main thing. Of course, the territory is key. Did you think the weather would be negotiated? The problem is that the word "return" is no longer in this sentence. Only "questions". And "questions" are already a space for bargaining. That is, "Maybe you won't return everything? Can we come to an agreement?"

4. "A cease-fire may be required at a certain stage of the settlement."  

   — Yeah, "it may be necessary." As if that's not an obvious goal starting in 2022. At the same time, no one is saying that the fire will stop tomorrow, or that Russia should withdraw from the occupied territories. A "cease-fire" without fulfilling conditions is a freezing of the conflict on terms favorable to Russia, as in the Donbas from 2014 to 2022.

Conclusion: who wins?

Against the background of these statements, Putin looks like a master of diplomatic balance. He:

- Does not make loud concessions.

- It does not cancel the annexation.

- Continues military operations.

- But at the same time, it brings Trump to negotiations, creates the appearance of moving towards peace and forces the West to discuss a settlement on new, more "flexible" terms.

And Trump? Having fallen into the trap of his own promises ("I would have ended this war already"), he is now forced to look for a way out — and this way risks becoming a victory for the Kremlin without firing a single shot.

Today is not about peace. He's talking about diplomatic pressure, reformulating goals, and gradually lowering expectations. Ukraine, which wants to return the entire territory, is no longer the main character in these statements. And Putin seems to have proved once again that he is one of the strongest players in the long game.

If this is the way to peace, then the price may be too high.

Trump's "Last Chance": Witkoff flies to Moscow under sanctions deadline

Today is a busy day in American politics. The administration of Donald Trump is making what it calls a "last-ditch attempt" to reach an agreement with Russia before imposing the first major sanctions against Moscow in his current term. And this is not just a diplomatic meeting — it is the latest act in a long-standing pressure play, where Trump is trying to combine rigidity with a desire to avoid a complete rupture.

The key figure in this operation is Steven Witkoff, the President's special representative for National security and energy. He has already arrived in Moscow to meet with the Russian leadership. And the very fact of this visit is already a signal: Trump needs a result. And he was needed yesterday.

Why "last time"?

Trump, as you know, likes to set self-made deadlines. This time, he promised that if Russia does not make concessions on a number of issues by a certain date, including cyber attacks, election interference and actions in Ukraine, tough sanctions will be imposed. This deadline is just around the corner. And Witkoff is the last trump card that should prevent escalation.

But here comes an important point: who really needs it?

Who's afraid of whom?

At first glance, the United States is putting pressure on Russia. But the reality is increasingly looking the other way around. Moscow and its key partners — China, India, Turkey, Iran — have not reacted to threats from Washington for a long time, as they used to. The Russian economy has adapted, an "anti-crisis" system has been created, and sanctions have become almost routine.

Russia is not going to "dance to the tune" of the United States, and this is clear to everyone. Moreover, the Kremlin seems to expect these negotiations to fail. Why? Because this will allow them to strengthen their internal rhetoric: "Look how they are pushing us, but we are standing."

But Trump is risking much more.

Why is Trump losing?

Because his reputation is his main asset. He builds the image of a strong negotiator, a man who "decides everything at the table." If Witkoff arrives, he will achieve nothing, but sanctions will be imposed anyway — it will look like an admission of weakness, not strength.

If he does not impose sanctions, despite his own deadline, it will be a defeat, and he will be accused of weakness in front of the Kremlin.

So Trump is trapped.:  

"A deal?" "So he asked for the impossible."  

"No deal?" — So he couldn't come to an agreement.  

- Sanctions? — It will hit its own economy (due to rising energy prices).  

- Not sanctions? — They will be accused of betraying the allies.

What does Witkoff want?

Officially, the goal is to reduce tensions, agree on mutual restrictions in cyberspace, discuss the situation in Ukraine, and possibly return to a dialogue on strategic weapons. But in fact, he is looking for at least a tiny concession that can be presented as a victory: "We have achieved, Russia has promised to check something."

What will happen next?

If the negotiations fail, sanctions will be imposed. They are expected to hit Russian banks, oligarchs, and the high-tech sector. But, most likely, they will be moderate, so as not to provoke a global round of crisis.

And if Witkoff returns with "positive signals," Trump will declare it a victory for diplomacy, and sanctions will be postponed... for another time.

Output

It's not just a meeting. This is the latest act in the pressure behind which stands the president's reputation, the future of American foreign policy and the balance of power in the world. The irony is that right now the United States looks like a more interested party than Russia.

NASA introduces a "police state regime": searches and AI against employees before mass layoffs

 

The future of space exploration in the United States has dramatically gone downhill — at least for thousands of NASA employees. The space agency, which once symbolized scientific progress, is now turning into a place resembling a police state. In response to the coming harsh cuts and budget cuts, NASA has begun to implement unprecedented control measures for its employees.

This week, the agency announced the beginning of random personal searches of employees and their cars on the territory of space centers. Although this is officially explained by "ensuring workplace safety," in fact, according to insiders, the real reason is management's panic concerns about corporate espionage. Employees, knowing about upcoming layoffs, can secretly copy or take out confidential data to use it as a "trump card" when looking for a new job in private space companies such as SpaceX or Blue Origin.

These physical searches are just the tip of the iceberg. They go hand in hand with large-scale digital surveillance, in which artificial intelligence plays a key role. AI—based systems now scan employees' emails, file storage, and network activity in search of "suspicious behavior," such as bulk data downloads or frequent contact with competitors.

All this is happening against the backdrop of the Trump administration's shocking decision to cut NASA's budget for fiscal year 2026 by 23%. As a result, the agency is forced to lay off about 5,000 people — almost a tenth of its staff. Such a large-scale crisis generates fear, distrust and, as a result, harsh controls that, according to critics, undermine the very spirit of the scientific community and innovation.

Trump declared the "full readiness" of the United States for a nuclear conflict with Russia

Donald Trump made a high-profile statement, stressing that the United States is "fully prepared" for any development of events, including a nuclear conflict with Russia. He made this statement against the background of an escalating verbal altercation with former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, who, according to Trump, again resorted to rhetoric concerning nuclear weapons.

"Medvedev started talking about nuclear weapons, and when such a conversation comes up, we must be ready. And we are fully prepared," Trump said. He added that he had already given relevant orders to the military leadership, including the relocation of strategic submarines, as a show of force and a deterrent response to what he called a "rare but serious nuclear threat" from Russia. The President described these actions as a necessary measure to maintain the global balance of power and protect the national interests of the United States.

The appearance of such statements by Trump signals a possible tightening of Washington's line towards Moscow. Although official military sources have not yet disclosed details of possible submarine movements, the very fact that the president publicly mentions such steps indicates increased combat readiness of strategic forces and the desire to make their position as clear as possible to a potential adversary.

Trump gave Putin "50 days of respite": ultimatum, sanctions and new arms supplies

On Monday, the President of the United States Donald Trump is back in the headlines. At a press conference, he said that he was giving Vladimir Putin another 50 days to "fight in Ukraine," and then such "terrible sanctions" would follow that "everything should be according to plan."  

When reporters asked to what extent he was willing to allow the conflict to escalate, Trump just smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't ask such questions." Yes, a person has his own style — an unusual one.

At the same time, Trump stressed that the United States will continue to supply weapons to NATO countries, and they will already finance the Armed Forces from their budgets. "We don't spend our money anymore," he said. "The Europeans have to pay for their own security."

The reaction was not long in coming:

- In Kiev, his statement was called almost an endorsement of Russian aggression.

- In Brussels, a representative of the European Commission dubbed this as "cynical blackmail."

- Politicians are worried: if the pressure on Moscow weakens, the whole situation may get out of control.

Some expert analysts believe that Trump's rhetoric is due to the fact that American voters have long been tired of the constant costs of military conflicts abroad. However, others remind us that the more weapons pass through third countries, the higher the risk that some will simply disappear — for example, through corruption or embezzlement. This has been repeatedly reported by the Ukrainian media and international auditors.

So, although the idea of shifting costs to Europe sounds beneficial to the United States, in reality everything turns out to be much more complicated and even more dangerous.

Trump, Crusaders, and the Final Crusade Before Armageddon

Pete Hegseth shows off a tattoo

The American approach to the Middle East, particularly regarding Iran and Israel, is often seen as a product of cold geopolitical rationality—interests in oil, containing hostile regimes, and strengthening strategic alliances. However, beneath this pragmatic surface lies a deeper and more unsettling layer: the powerful influence of religious mythology, which, according to some researchers, shapes decisions that affect millions of lives.

This influence traces back to the 19th century and the figure of Anglo-Irish clergyman John Nelson Darby. Darby popularized the idea of the "rapture"—the sudden ascension of true believers to heaven before the onset of the Apocalypse. His interpretation of biblical prophecies formed the basis of dispensationalism—a doctrine that divides human history into divine epochs, each bringing the end times closer. This worldview seeped into the American religious mainstream, especially among white evangelicals, and gained mass appeal through books and films in the "Left Behind" series, where characters in a post-apocalyptic world fight the Antichrist and prepare for the final battle between good and evil.

Among certain circles of American evangelicals, Iran is seen not just as an enemy of the U.S. but as a potential catalyst for prophetic events. Israel, in this context, plays a sacred role—as the land where, according to prophecies, Armageddon will occur and Christ will return. These ideas are not confined to secluded monasteries but are held by people with access to power and influence over political decisions.

Historian and theologian Jemar Tisby calls this phenomenon not just concerning but deadly dangerous. He argues that many of Donald Trump's actions, including moving the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem and taking a hard line against Iran, cannot be understood without considering their theological roots. Tisby contends that these religious beliefs are not abstract—they translate into real politics that could lead to global conflict.

Diana Butler Bass, a religious studies scholar and author, emphasizes that for many evangelicals, the Middle East is not just a region rich in oil and conflict but the stage for the unfolding of a divine script. She recalls being taught as a child that Jesus could return "at any moment" and that events in Israel and Iran should be interpreted as signs of the impending end of the world. These beliefs have not faded—they are experiencing a revival in religious circles close to the Republican electorate.

When President Trump ordered the airstrike on Iranian general Qasem Soleimani in January 2020, political analysts focused on issues of national security and regional balance. However, for some of his religious supporters, this strike was seen as another step toward the apocalypse they had been awaiting for decades. In some churches, sermons compared this strike to the beginning of a prophetic chain of events foretold in the Book of Revelation.

For these groups, the idea of war with Iran is not a catastrophe but a necessary stage before the return of the Messiah. War in the Middle East is seen as a purifying fire in which the world must burn to be reborn in divine glory. This viewpoint raises serious concerns among scholars and religious leaders who see in such interpretations a threat to global security.

This ideology is particularly evident in what is known as "Christian nationalism"—a movement that seeks to fuse American identity with evangelical Christianity, viewing the U.S. as a chosen people whose mission is to fulfill a divine plan on earth. Israel becomes not just an ally but a symbolic center of this plan, while Iran is seen as the embodiment of evil, the "enemy of God."

The complexity lies in the fact that these beliefs are often indistinguishable from pragmatic foreign policy. They are woven into rhetoric, decisions, and even military campaigns, creating an illusion of rationality where mystical expectations and apocalyptic fantasies actually prevail.

Many observers underestimate the depth of these religious influences. They analyze Trump's tweets, Pentagon statements, and intelligence reports, ignoring the fact that for part of the elite and electorate, these events carry a spiritual meaning. This is where the danger lies—when policy becomes an extension of prophecy, it loses touch with reality and turns into a tool of mystical sacrifice.

What the future holds for U.S.-Iranian relations in this context is not just a strategic question but a metaphysical one. Time will tell whether this confrontation will be determined by the cold logic of interests or by the hot faith in the end times.

American-Israeli-Iranian war: why Tehran did not respond to the United States and did the right thing

 

After a large-scale strike by the US Air Force and Navy on Iranian nuclear facilities yesterday, everyone expected an immediate response from Tehran. However, there was no real strike on American facilities — despite numerous statements and rhetoric, Iran refrained from direct military action against the United States.

Why Tehran's silence is the right step

- Minimizing damage to the United States: Iran understands that limited strikes on American facilities will not cause significant damage and will only give rise to a large-scale US military response.

- Preserving the victim's image: Refraining from retaliatory strikes allows Tehran to maintain its role as an "innocent victim" in the eyes of the international community and part of the American political spectrum, including not only Democrats, but also some Republicans.

- Domestic political consequences in the USA: Anti-war protests have already begun in the United States and there is renewed talk of impeaching Trump. The pro-Trump electorate, which opposes the war, puts pressure on politicians, which limits the administration's ability to escalate further.

The reaction of the USA and Israel

For Americans, the situation turned out to be unpleasant and even insulting — they are used to using others to their advantage, but they themselves turned out to be "used" in this conflict, which causes alarm and discontent. Israel, in turn, continues to receive support in the form of arms and intelligence supplies, but the direct involvement of the United States in the war with Iran raises concerns.

Prospects for conflict development

If Iran continues to hold back, further U.S. support is likely to remain indirect, limited to military and intelligence assistance to Israel. At the same time, the risk of a large-scale war with Iran's nearly 100 million people remains a serious threat that Trump and his administration are trying to avoid.

Trump convenes an emergency Pentagon meeting on possible U.S. involvement in the conflict with Iran

Former US President Donald Trump has initiated an emergency meeting at the Pentagon on the involvement of the US armed forces in a military conflict with Iran. According to information received from sources close to the administration, the request for such a meeting came from Israel, which, according to the Israeli authorities, has exhausted its capabilities in the confrontation with Iran and needs the support of the United States.

Israel is actively fighting against Iranian facilities, but the scale and intensity of Iran's retaliatory strikes threaten the country's security. In this regard, Trump and his team are considering options for further actions, including a possible expansion of the American military presence and direct participation in the conflict.

Meanwhile, analysts and experts warn of the risks of provocations that could be organized to involve the United States in the war. One of the likely scenarios is a "false flag" attack on US military installations, which could serve as a formal reason for the expansion of hostilities.

Such a course of events could lead to a significant escalation of the conflict in the Middle East and entail serious international consequences. At the same time, debates continue within the United States regarding the expediency of military intervention, given the possible political and economic risks.

Further developments in the situation and official statements from representatives of the Pentagon and the White House on this issue are expected in the coming days.

Playing on emotions: how to watch the news like a large-scale performance and save energy

In the modern world, we find ourselves involved in a giant game where our emotional reactions become the fuel to maintain its dynamics. Everything that happens — whether it's political conflicts, scandals, or crises — can be seen as a carefully planned show that aims to capture our attention and energy.

Experiment: watch the news from the outside

I suggest a simple experiment: try to react to all the news distantly for at least one day, as if you were a spectator of a large-scale play. Imagine that the events are scenes in a movie where the director is trying to keep you in suspense, making you worry and worry. When you stop being emotionally involved, you will notice how much energy is released for important personal matters and inner peace.

The Trump-Musk conflict as part of the game

A striking example is the conflict between Donald Trump and Elon Musk, which suddenly and loudly broke out in public space. This is not just a quarrel, but a multi-layered strategy aimed at redistributing political power in the United States. The goal is to create a new political force that can pull part of the electorate away from the Democrats and change the political landscape.

Interestingly, Trump and Musk, despite the apparent conflict, are essentially looking in the same direction. Their task is to divide the streams of attention and energy in order to control the political game and prevent other forces from coming to the fore.

Artificial revolution and delaying tension

The globalists were trying to launch a large-scale revolution in California that could escalate into a civil war. However, the conflict between Trump and Musk became a kind of "discharger" that delayed some of the tension and did not allow the situation to get out of control. This is not a stop in the process, but only a temporary pause in the general course of events.

Why it's important to maintain inner balance

This whole large-scale game is fueled by our fears, anxieties, and emotional outbursts. The more we immerse ourselves in this emotional background, the more energy we give to the system that controls us through information flows.

To look at what is happening as a movie means to regain some of this energy, to find inner peace and clarity. This does not mean ignoring reality, but only changing attitudes towards it in order not to become hostage to other people's scenarios.

Recommendation for viewing

For a better understanding of the mechanics of such games, I recommend watching the classic American movie "The Tail Wags the Dog" starring Dustin Hoffman and Robert de Niro. The film perfectly illustrates how information events and political shows are created and managed.

Just watch it like a movie.

Mysterious rocket launcher in the form of a container is seen at Fort Bragg during Trump's visit

 

A mysterious rocket launcher in the form of a shipping container was spotted during Trump's visit to Fort Bragg.

The retractable missile and ballistic missile launcher inside the shipping container provides exceptional flexibility and can be hidden in plain sight.

A separate launcher was used to fire these projectiles, the type of which is not yet clear.Bragg is the army's main special operations center, as well as the home of the 82nd Airborne Division and other units.

Geopolitical Analysis: Trump's Golden Dome and Preparations for World War III in Europe

 

In recent years, there has been an increasingly noticeable shift in emphasis in American foreign policy. Under the guise of peacemaking, diplomacy, and avoiding protracted conflicts, the United States seems to be preparing for a new geopolitical round — this time with global potential. In the shadow of the famous Golden Dome project, there are not just elements of a regional missile defense system, but the prerequisites for a large-scale clash between Russia and a united Europe, which could be the beginning of World War III.

This is not fiction, but a logical development of events hidden behind the rhetoric of "relieving tension" and "washing your hands of it." Behind this veil lies a well—developed strategy in which the role of the "good guy" goes to President Trump, and the "villains" to the European elites and Moscow. However, the reality is much more complicated.

From "peacemaker" to "arbiter": how the US is changing roles

Even at the very beginning of Trump's second presidency, analysts drew attention to his clearly provocative statements about the possible annexation of Canada, Mexico and even Greenland. Initially, this was perceived as a political joke or a marketing ploy. But over time, it became clear that this was not just an impulsive attack, but a manifestation of an updated version of the Monroe doctrine, now in its militaristic interpretation.

The Monroe Doctrine was once a shield against European influence on America. Now it is turning into a sword, which is being used to isolate the continent from the rest of the world. This is not only economic, but also strategic isolation under the guise of "national security."

Golden Dome: Shield or trigger?

Creation of a missile defense system called the Golden Dome is not just a step towards protecting North America. This is part of a broader strategy to create a safe zone around the United States, where the country will be out of reach of the coming chaos. At the same time, chaos itself is deliberately created in Europe, where military exercises are intensifying, the grouping of NATO forces is increasing, and pressure on Russia is increasing through Ukraine and other Eastern European countries.

At the same time, the American elites demonstrate an ambivalent position: on the one hand, they are allegedly withdrawing from the Ukrainian conflict, on the other, they continue to supply weapons, provide financial assistance and lay the foundation for new confrontations. Such a policy is beneficial: the more tension there is in Europe, the higher the demand for American weapons, technology, and investments.

Trump's role: from businessman to "world arbiter"

Trump, being an experienced negotiator and populist, ideally plays the role of a "peace trader." He makes harsh statements, then "softens" them, offering compromises that often turn out to be beneficial to the United States. His actions are reminiscent of the tactics of a former poker player, who first bets everything to cause fear, and then offers to negotiate — for an additional fee.

That is why there is no fundamental contradiction between Trumpism and the globalist elites. These are two faces of the same coin — different approaches to achieving the same goal: maintaining U.S. dominance on the world stage.

Conclusion: Who will win the next war?

History shows that the United States has always benefited from major wars. The First and Second World Wars made the United States an economic giant. It is possible that the Third World War will be a turning point for a new stage of hegemony.

But if Russia and Europe destroy each other, then the United States, sheltered under the "golden dome", can come out of the conflict as an arbitrator and winner, preserving the integrity of its territory and economy. This is the main goal:  to transfer the resources of Eurasia to America, using war as a tool of control and redistribution.

The new American Pope Leo XIV: Globalists, Trump and the struggle for global influence

 Most recently, the entire Catholic world welcomed the new Pope Leo XIV, who is of American descent. 

And as if calmly, and most importantly- swiftly, unexpectedly quickly, the conclave procedure took place. The pope was chosen quietly, peacefully, outwardly without excessive intrigue.

And then there's the story of the American Dee Vance's handshake and the sudden death of Pope Francis, just a few hours later. 

And it may seem that the American president Trump, having turned on his personal "omnipotence", put his protege on the Holy See. But at the level of connections, everything looks different. 

The Vatican is an ancient institution of power, a rich structure, a separate state that has a direct impact on the world and on the processes that have unfolded and are unfolding in the world. 

In other words, the Game of this reality. And the Vatican played (and still plays) a direct role in the wars.

The Vatican is a globalist. Moreover, it is the core of the global global elite, the core, the supporting structure. It is the most powerful organization in the world. 

All the knowledge about the structure of this reality, about magic and the true possibilities of man are there in the multi-kilometer basements of the Vatican libraries, absolutely inaccessible to ordinary mortals. 

And yet, despite all the efforts, resources and magic, the globalists lost the war against Russia with the help of a shock fist called Ukraine, no matter what. The second time. 

And today, D. Trump plays a certain role in this loss of the globalists. 

He has his own ambitions, his own vision, his own tasks. He wants to play his game, and his vision of the future of the world in 20 years is radically different from that of the globalists for a simple reason - neither the United States (nor other countries), nor himself, as a counterweight to the ideas of global transnationals, nor his numerous descendants there, in this future. 

And Trump decided to ruin and destroy this hydra. But in fact, to take over the control of the world.

Russia is the cornerstone of the stability of the entire system, the world, and the current reality. Without destroying Russia, without fragmenting it, it is impossible to reformat this world according to a new pattern. But they have already broken their teeth about Russia and will continue to break them. 

The flywheel of global structures is huge and unwieldy. And their strategy to destroy Russia seemed to them so flawless and doomed to success that now they no longer have the opportunity to quickly adapt to changes and act reactively, making mistakes. 

The coming of the American pope to the Throne is a deep curtsy, a submission from the globalists towards Trump (towards the resources that are in his hands) so that he does not deviate from supporting the shock fist of Ukraine in the fight against Russia. 

The broadcast sounds like this: we will send "your" man to the Holy See, and you continue the Biden cause, wage war against Russia. 

But Trump chose to play in his own way - to play against the globalists. And let's pay attention- Trump is not for Russia. He needs Russia just to fight them. Russia does not need to delude itself in this sense.

And there is a persistent feeling that the new pope is a weak, formal figure, a face, a facade.

And behind his back are those who will "look after" and "guide" the pope in the right direction. 

The globalists have placed the figure of Pope Leo XIV on the Throne, and he will have to show almost serpentine flexibility in order to make friends with Trump and please the owners. 

Trump is a player and a businessman - he will find his own approach to the Pope, and moreover, he will successfully manipulate him, and on the verge, provocatively. He will try, with his usual cunning, to bend the Vatican under himself.. 

It feels extremely unpleasant for the Vatican, because they have let the fox into their quiet, deep coop, and he will alarm him. It's kind of nervous in the Vatican in the coming years. 

The global architecture of influence is being rebuilt literally before our eyes. And the process has already gone deep, into the fundamental layers, literally, into the Vatican.
