Ukraine spent the first years of Putin’s genocidal invasion begging Biden and NATO for the weapons to strike back in kind. Instead, Washington dithered, NATO cowered, and Kyiv paid the price. iPINIONS argues that while Biden delayed, Ukraine innovated. Now its drones are reaching Moscow, its weapons industry is booming, and Europe is looking to… Read more.
Trump has finally defied Vladimir Putin; not to save Ukrainian lives, but to commandeer Venezuelan oil and indulge his obsession with power, spectacle, and humiliation. The seizure of a Russian-flagged tanker marks a shift from theatrical cruelty to real economic disruption, but it exposes something darker than strategy. iPINIONS contends that, in chasing oil, prestige,… Read more.
Trump’s insistence that Putin wants peace isn’t naïveté; it’s alignment. As Ukraine burns, his rhetoric echoes Kremlin propaganda, strains relations with Kyiv, and further erodes America’s credibility abroad. iPINIONS argues that Trump’s rhetoric isn’t just reckless. It makes the clearest case yet for invoking the 25th Amendment. See my full take on Substack.https://ipinionsdaily.substack.com/p/trump-insists-putin-wants-peace-proving Read more.
Trump’s newly published National Security Strategy reads less like a plan for global stability than a roadmap for willful disorder.

Putin’s war in Ukraine is no longer about “denazification” or Russian honor. It’s a war of attrition that echoes the trench warfare of World War I; only now the meat grinder churns with drone tech and nuclear threats. And while Trump and Putin play nuclear chicken, the world keeps ploughing the same killing fields. iPINIONS… Read more.
Remember when tariffs were supposed to hurt China, not your morning latte? Welcome to Trumpenomics—where your $9 coffee isn’t overpriced, it’s just patriotically taxed. And the kicker? Trump still insists only foreign gougers are paying his tariffs. iPINIONS contends that this claim is so delusional, it belongs in the same hall of autocratic gaslighting as… Read more.
