Wow. A tour de force right here. Clarifies so much of the confusing smoke and mirrors. Thank you.

Thank you so much, Fiorella! Many so-called alternative media outlets are being consumed by their own biases and sympathies—one way or another—for the Trump administration (or its various ideological currents). This clouds their judgment. Just today, NATO, including Hegseth, signaled an increase in military spending under the familiar doctrine of "defense through strength."

While the theater of war appears to be shifting away from Ukraine, this is largely true only for the U.S. government and its public involvement there. Europe, on the other hand, is being sent to the wolves—and, tragically, is walking into its own demise willingly. The EU’s role remains to keep Russia weakened, much like Syria was bled out.

It may not happen immediately, but this conflict will be reignited by 2028—the year NATO members have repeatedly referenced in recent months and are actively preparing for. None of this is secret; it's all readily available in the news and think tank reports. Yet, the prevailing trend remains blind faith and misplaced hope in the Trump administration. I almost can't believe this group think.
