Trump’s talking to Putin—and not just posturing. There’s real movement behind the curtain to wrap the war in Ukraine, and our prediction that it’d end before year’s end is looking sharper by the day.
Meanwhile, Webb discusses how Trump greenlit a surgical strike in Iran, signaling a hard pivot away from the years of red-line tap-dancing. Tehran’s been gaming the clock—we just kicked the table over. And in Gaza, the war grinds on with no exit in sight. It’s urban hell, plain and simple.
Israel is caught between wiping out Hamas and blowing the whole region sky-high.
