Are we closer to an Iran war? The signals are right in front of us, buried in the latest political maneuvers.

We discuss how the recent Israeli elections offer critical clues about regional stability and military escalation. By tracking key international endorsements, we can better understand the shifting alliances that dictate policy in the Middle East.

Donald Trump and his recent endorsement of Benjamin Netanyahu act as a major indicator for potential conflict. We also look at the strategic significance of Hegseth and his unannounced visit to the region, which provides a clearer picture of where things might be heading next.

A large-scale Russian missile attack on Kyiv is unfolding as Donald Trump claims we are closer than ever to peace in Ukraine. But after Steve Witkoff's meeting with Vladimir Putin, what was actually accomplished? And why does it appear that Putin is gaining the upper hand in negotiations with Washington?

The release of American citizen Stephen Hubbard has produced an extraordinary exchange, with Witkoff calling Putin a “humanitarian” and Vice President JD Vance defending his remarks. We examine what was actually said during the Putin-Witkoff meeting, including discussions about Russian diesel supplies, economic cooperation, and a potential ceasefire. Russia claims diesel prices dropped by 5–6%, while Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk directly blames Trump for fuel prices rather than Ukraine's strikes on legitimate Russian targets.

We also examine Trump's troubling statements about Starlink and sanctions, questions surrounding Jared Kushner's reported participation in the Moscow discussions, and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz's powerful warning about Russia's efforts to destabilize European society. Merz argues that Ukraine's surrender would amount to a surrender for Europe itself.

Finally, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy outlines the possibility of trilateral negotiations involving Ukraine, Russia, and the United States. Discussions could include a ceasefire, attacks on energy infrastructure, prisoner exchanges, and security guarantees, but no meeting date has been finalized. While Trump celebrates supposed progress, the central question remains: Is Washington moving toward a genuine peace agreement, or simply allowing Vladimir Putin to strengthen his negotiating position?

Russian influence operations no longer look like the old Cold War stereotype. In this conversation, Ryan Mauro of the Mauro Institute explains how modern influence can move through bots, algorithmic amplification, access agents, media networks, professional associations, and people who may not even realize they are helping spread someone else’s narrative.

We dig into Mauro’s investigation of Russian influence aimed at American conservatives and Christian audiences, including his reporting on Candace Owens’ 2026 trip to Russia and appearance at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum. We also examine MKNE—the Moscow-based International Club of National Unity—and Mauro’s investigation of an archived page that listed Tucker Carlson among its media experts before the listing disappeared.

Most importantly, Ryan explains how ordinary people can better recognize manipulation: fact-checking claims, watching for repeated narrative alignment, looking for missing nuance, questioning information bubbles, and paying attention to whether commentators seriously engage with opposing evidence.

This is a deep conversation about how information warfare works, why foreign influence does not always require a direct order or payment, and how viewers can protect themselves without simply retreating into another echo chamber.

Zelenskyy just said what many in the West have avoided saying out loud: Ukraine cannot be negotiated over without Ukraine — and Europe cannot pretend to be neutral while Russia is the aggressor.

In this update, we break down Zelenskyy’s sharp comments on the “Spirit of Anchorage,” his warning that Russia must feel the war at home, and why his statement about the European Union not being a simple mediator could reshape the diplomatic battlefield.

We also cover disturbing Russian escalation rhetoric from St. Petersburg and Moscow, including calls for nuclear strikes and “cleansing fire” against Odessa, plus major breaking developments involving the elimination of a Russian missile supply general, another strike on the Chonhar Bridge into Crimea, and new U.S.–Iran tensions after President Trump said America must respond to an attack near the Strait of Hormuz.

This is a fast-moving week for Ukraine, Russia, Europe, the United States, Iran, and the wider global security picture.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is directly challenging Donald Trump over his treatment of Ukraine—and the Kremlin is already exploiting his explosive new interview. Zelenskyy says Trump is unfairly blaming him for Russia’s aggression and killings, while Vladimir Putin continues refusing meaningful concessions. In a newly released interview with Steven Bartlett on The Diary of a CEO, Zelenskyy addresses the failed energy ceasefire, American diesel prices, and what he believes is a dangerous attempt to shift responsibility away from Moscow.

Meanwhile, just after Steve Witkoff's latest negotiations with Putin, Russia launched another missile assault on Kyiv. We examine Zelenskyy's warning about further Russian attacks, reports of Iskander ballistic missiles striking Kyiv's historic center, and Vice President JD Vance's explanation for why peace negotiations remain stalled. We also examine Kremlin statements from Dmitry Peskov and Yuri Ushakov, along with Witkoff's revealing note about negotiations involving Europe and Zelenskyy.

But one of the most disturbing developments is how quickly the Kremlin seized upon Zelenskyy's interview. Peskov revived Russia's Nazi accusations against Ukraine and claimed Poland had suspended weapons deliveries in protest. That claim was contradicted by Polish defense officials, as we document in this report. We also hear Zelenskyy's powerful account of his family's suffering under the Nazis and his direct rejection of Trump's attempt to blame Ukraine for a war Russia started. The consequences for U.S.-Ukraine relations could be significant.

Attorney General Pam Bondi just had a humiliating moment under oath, referring to Ghislaine Maxwell as "Gerlaine" during her high-stakes testimony on the Epstein files. With survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse sitting right behind her, this "Gerlaine" fail is a slap in the face to victims seeking justice.

In today’s House Judiciary Committee hearing (Feb 11, 2026), Bondi faced a firestorm over the DOJ’s handling of the Epstein files, including the "accidental" release of survivors' nude photos while redacting the names of powerful predators. But the most shocking moment? The chief law enforcement officer of the United States doesn’t even seem to know the proper name of the woman at the center of the world's most infamous sex-trafficking case.

Russia is pounding Ukraine's energy infrastructure while serious questions emerge about missile warnings and new Starlink restrictions affecting Ukrainian military operations. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Ukraine's Air Force clarify what happened during the latest ballistic missile attacks: partner warnings were missing during the first wave, but information reached Ukrainian military officials during subsequent attacks.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian technology adviser Serhii Flash reports that SpaceX introduced new Starlink speed restrictions without warning, disrupting Ukrainian military missions. Poland's foreign minister publicly challenges Elon Musk over the reported restrictions, while reports of an arson attack on Starlink-related infrastructure in Bulgaria raise additional security concerns. These developments come as Ukraine continues defending its skies against Russian missiles and increasingly dangerous drones.

At the same time, the Kremlin launches an aggressive messaging offensive aimed at Washington. Kirill Dmitriev argues that sanctions against Russia hurt American farmers, Dmitry Peskov challenges the substance of Donald Trump's proposed energy ceasefire and accuses Europe of sabotaging peace efforts, and Russian officials demand the return of frozen assets. Moscow also accuses Ukraine of undermining an energy truce even as Russian forces continue attacking Ukraine's power infrastructure.

Greg Terry examines these contradictions, the Kremlin's efforts to influence American policy, the escalating challenges facing Ukraine's defense systems, and reports of Ukrainian strikes against Russian banking data centers. The central question remains: Is Washington confronting Russia's aggression, or allowing Moscow to shape the terms of the conversation?

Over the last 24 hours, some extraordinary statements have come directly from Russian officials, propagandists, Vladimir Putin—and Donald Trump.

Putin-appointed Kherson governor Vladimir Saldo describes people in occupied Oleshky as optimistic and growing stronger despite severe conditions. Maria Zakharova blames Ukraine for the humanitarian disaster there while also warning that European weapons factories supplying Ukraine could become Russian military targets. Meanwhile, Russia is reportedly using specially designed drone warheads against Ukrainian power-transmission infrastructure.

Then Vladimir Putin insists Russia’s economy and financial system remain in a “confident position,” Vladimir Solovyov celebrates the potential power of a Russia-China alliance joined by North Korea and Belarus, and Donald Trump describes Kim Jong Un as his friend and says, “As long as I’m around he’s going to be fine.”

This episode puts those statements together, examines what is actually being claimed, and looks at the widening gap between rhetoric, battlefield realities, infrastructure attacks, and the geopolitical relationships now being presented to the public.

Ukraine has launched a massive overnight drone attack against St. Petersburg, Russia, with reports of strikes on an oil terminal, a major bridge, electrical substations, and a VKontakte data center. Russian officials acknowledge the attack as airport operations are disrupted, fires are reported, and power outages spread across parts of the region.

In this breaking news report, Greg Terry examines the developing situation in St. Petersburg and the surrounding Leningrad region. Governor Alexander Beglov has acknowledged the Ukrainian drone attack, reporting fires at infrastructure facilities and restrictions at Pulkovo Airport. Additional reports describe damage to the St. Petersburg oil terminal, disruptions to VKontakte's digital services, and electricity outages affecting parts of the region. The Vostochnaya 330 kV electrical substation is also identified among the reported targets.

Greg walks through the geography of the attack, including a strategic eight-lane bridge connecting parts of St. Petersburg, and presents newly circulating footage showing incoming drones, fires, mobile air defenses, and an apparent bridge strike. The full extent of the damage remains to be established as the situation continues to develop.

These are Ukraine's long-range sanctions reaching one of Russia's most important cities. What does this attack mean for Russia's energy infrastructure, transportation networks, and internal security? And how will the Kremlin and Washington respond? Greg examines the immediate reports and the potential political consequences of a significant escalation in Ukraine's long-range strike campaign.

Donald Trump has reportedly waived major provisions of Senator Lindsey Graham's Russia sanctions legislation, removing new economic pressure on Vladimir Putin just days before a critical implementation deadline. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has responded, and his warnings about sanctions, Ukraine's ability to defend itself, and new restrictions affecting Starlink raise serious questions about Washington's direction.

In this October 17 update, Greg Terry examines the reported sanctions waivers, including provisions targeting Russian energy, financial institutions, and countries purchasing Russian oil and gas. Zelenskyy explains why lifting pressure on Moscow will not stop Putin's war. He also reveals Ukrainian findings concerning Starlink speed restrictions that he says are disrupting frontline supply deliveries and drone interception capabilities. Ukrainian tests reportedly found different Starlink behavior inside the European Union, raising questions about who imposed the restrictions and why.

Russian presidential envoy Kirill Dmitriev then enters the picture with revealing statements about Russian-American economic cooperation, energy markets, and the Graham sanctions. Greg examines how Dmitriev's arguments align with the administration's stated economic interests and whether Moscow is succeeding in weakening Washington's relationship with Kyiv. Senator Tom Tillis also delivers a sharp bipartisan rebuke of the administration's sanctions decision.

The central question is no longer simply whether Washington wants peace. It is whether American policy is increasing pressure on the country that invaded Ukraine or weakening Ukraine's ability to resist that aggression.

Donald Trump says Vladimir Putin wants peace. But Putin's own words and military orders tell a very different story. In a striking contrast between Washington's messaging and Moscow's actions, Putin calls for continued massive strikes against Ukraine, praises Russia's battlefield operations, and makes clear that key Russian security demands will not be open to peace negotiations.

Tonight, Greg Terry puts Trump and Putin's statements side by side and lets you decide. We examine Trump's suggestion that he possesses undisclosed information about how Russia's war began, revisit his August 2025 remarks and promises concerning Putin and the Epstein files, and hear Putin's latest orders to Russia's military commanders. We also challenge Putin's territorial claims concerning Donetsk and Luhansk, including Greg's assessment that Ukraine still controls approximately 17–18% of Donetsk Oblast.

And there is another significant development. Kirill Dmitriev claims the U.S. Treasury Department specifically requested assistance from the Russian Direct Investment Fund in facilitating a diesel transaction. What does that reported cooperation mean for American sanctions policy and the wider relationship between Washington and Moscow?

The central question is unavoidable: When Trump tells the world that Putin wants to end the war, should we believe that assurance—or listen to what Putin is actually ordering his military to do?
