Hosted Larisa Brown - defence editor at the Times, for an alarming interview on the state of European security.

I hosted ex-CIA Director Gen David Petraeus on Ukraine-Russia, NATO and the United States under Trump.
This was a crazy exchange. You can’t miss it! youtu.be/Aww-OtfOTic

🇺🇸🇬🇱 Greenland isn’t a sideshow - it’s a signal.
A stress test of Europe’s sovereignty and NATO’s credibility, triggered from inside the alliance.
The moment for delay has passed.
If Europe won’t defend its own red lines now, it may never get another chance.

Thought of the day
🇷🇺⚠️📉 Russia's Economy is approaching critical mass in 2026.
Not imminent collapse.
But galloping inflation, weaker ruble, elite infighting, and rising public stress.
Even for Russia, it feels different.
A slow-burn instability Putin can see coming - but powerless to prevent. youtu.be/izCE0cSknss
The US seizure of Maduro didn’t just shock Caracas - it triggered Moscow's nightmare.
Washington did in 3-hours what Russia failed to do in 3-days of its SMO.
The result was pure embarrassment.
Putin’s core myth: strength, speed, force, all exposed.
And it'll only get worse. youtu.be/MxA2GpNNh-g

🇮🇷 🇻🇪 For Iran, Trump's military operation isn’t about Maduro. It’s about Venezuela as a strategic hub for Iran; energy, logistics, sanctions evasion.
That’s why recent US actions matter: they don’t change a regime, they disrupt how Iranian power projects into the hemisphere. youtu.be/u5d0orqwpIw?...

US sanctions on Europe over tech rules aren’t “free speech”.
They’re self-sabotage.
Europe won't fold under pressure; it'll build alternatives: less reliance on US systems, more hedging elsewhere.
Force doesn’t preserve alliances. It drives allies away. Short-term bravado, long-term US loss.

Vladimir Putin spent years dismissing Europe as weak and irrelevant.
Now he’s openly attacking it.
That’s not confidence. It’s frustration.

🇷🇺 China didn’t just “attend” the Russia-Ukraine Peace Talks.
It hovered over it.
Because Beijing now has one overriding interest:
❗ Keep Russia stable enough not to collapse
❗ But weak enough to remain dependent
This war didn’t make Russia stronger.
It turned it into a strategic asset for China.

How it feels to see all the hysteria over the latest ‘peace proposal’ for Russia-Ukraine.
(No but seriously, this is an absolute joke. It’s the exact same proposal that has been put forward at least 3 times and somehow the Trump/Putin lackeys think this will be different 🤡)
