I continue to believe that it is more important to watch what Donald Trump does rather than focus on what he says. However, his remarks during the meeting of his cabinet earlier this week regarding negotiations to end the war in Ukraine are alarming and merit...

Is Trump, Like Biden, Politicizing Intelligence?
by Larry C. Johnson | Aug 23, 2025 | Featured Articles
If you thought that Donald Trump had learned the importance of keeping politics out of intelligence in light of how the intelligence community was used as a tool to attack and subvert his Presidency, think again. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has fired a general...
Ukraine Reportedly Working Frantically to Disrupt Putin and Trump Summit
by Larry C. Johnson | Aug 13, 2025 | Featured Articles
Let’s start with a very interesting post from Joe Tuzara’s Substack. I don’t know if this is true because I have not found any other media source reporting on it, and there are some problems with the details reported. Here is the claim: White Hats on Sunday...
Has Putin Learned the Lessons of the Battle of Debaltseve and Minsk II?
by Larry C. Johnson | Aug 10, 2025 | Featured Articles
I will answer my question right up front: Yes! The reaction of the West, especially that of Donald Trump, to Russia’s current offensive all along the line of contact, is reminiscent of the panic that seized the West in 2015 following Ukraine’s loss in...
While Trump Talks Peace, is the US Setting the Stage for More War?
by Larry C. Johnson | Aug 9, 2025 | Featured Articles
Trump and a raft of pundits and US intelligence officials continue to operate on a set of false assumptions and delusional beliefs about Russia and the war in Ukraine. Sy Hersh is out with a new article, and the quotes from his source (or sources) in the Trump...
Why is US Intelligence Providing Bogus Numbers of Dead Russian Soldiers?
by Larry C. Johnson | Jul 30, 2025 | Featured Articles
I am sort of surprised that no one has done what I am going to do… Provide a realistic calculation of the actual number of Russian casualties since the start of the Special Military Operation in February 2022. This includes Killed in Action (KIA) and Wounded...
NATO Expansion — The Root Cause of the War in Ukraine
by Larry C. Johnson | Jul 24, 2025 | Featured Articles
I know there is a lot of interest in the Jeffrey Epstein story and the new revelations from Tulsi Gabbard about Barack Obama and his team’s efforts to fan the flames of Russiagate. I have been all over the Russiagate matter since 2017. Here is the link...
The CIA Initiated an Intelligence and Terrorist War on Russia Based on a Lie
by Larry C. Johnson | Jul 21, 2025 | Featured Articles
Foreign Policy published an article last week by Tim Weiner, author of Legacy of Ashes, with the title, When the Threat Is Inside the White House: What CIA insiders make of the MAGA moles and toadies now in charge of U.S. national security. While...
By the Numbers — Western Propaganda on Russian Losses
by Larry C. Johnson | Jul 14, 2025 | Featured Articles
Over the past week, the Western media has frantically pushed the narrative that Russia is suffering massive losses. Marco Rubio’s remarks in Kuala Lumpur a couple of days ago is a typical example: One hundred thousand since January? But it is not just Rubio… The...
The War on Iran is not Over
by Larry C. Johnson | Jun 26, 2025 | Featured Articles
I don’t know why Iran agreed to the ceasefire, but it did. Iranian leaders, in my opinion, are frighteningly naive. Some apparently believe that they can achieve a legitimate negotiated deal with Donald Trump. I suggest the Ayatollah and IRGC commanders read Donald...
Iran vs the US and Israel — Kabuki Theater on Steroids
by Larry C. Johnson | Jun 24, 2025 | Featured Articles
Any moment now I am expecting John Cleese (a veteran of Monty Python) to jump out of the bushes and announce the creation of the Ministry of Silly Wars, with Donald Trump as the deranged leader. For you youngsters out there, Monty Python’s skit, The Ministry of Silly...
World War III Update
by Larry C. Johnson | Jun 20, 2025 | Featured Articles
Here is my prediction… Donald Trump will change his mind at least three times in the next three days. Trump did nothing to calm fears that he has lost touch with reality when his press secretary, Ms. Leavitt, announced that Trump would make the decision on US...
Donald Trump Doubles Down on Crazy
by Larry C. Johnson | Jun 17, 2025 | Featured Articles
Clean up in aisle five. Someone needs to tackle Donald Trump and confiscate his phone. He should not be allowed to post on Truth Social until some adult with a measure of common sense has a chance to review prospective Trump posts. Roughly sixteen million...
The Silver Lining in the Dark War Cloud Over Iran
by Larry C. Johnson | Jun 14, 2025 | Featured Articles
Israel’s unjustified and unprovoked attack on Iran early Friday morning, marks the full-on start of a war that is likely to change the face of the region. I mince no words… this is war. But there is a silver lining of sorts — with Israel having to use its air...
Donald Trump’s Lack of Critical Thinking Skills with Respect to Russia and Ukraine
by Larry C. Johnson | May 27, 2025 | Featured Articles
Donald Trump grabbed headlines on Monday with his Sunday outburst directed primarily at Russia’s Vladimir Putin. Here’s his rant: I’ve always had a very good relationship with Vladimir Putin of Russia, but something has happened to him. He has gone absolutely CRAZY!...
Decision Day in Rome
by Larry C. Johnson | May 23, 2025 | Featured Articles
On the eve of Iran’s meeting in Rome on Friday, Iran’s Foreign Minister, Seyed Abbas Araghchi, summarized the situation quite succinctly… accept Iran’s offer to not build nuclear weapons or there is no deal. I do not think this is hyperbole or posturing. I believe it...
Trump Calls Putin, the Game Remains the Same
by Larry C. Johnson | May 20, 2025 | Featured Articles
Donald Trump is refusing to follow the Zelensky/European script for trapping Russia. The leaders of the UK, France, Germany and Poland made a desperate effort to get Trump to demand to Russia accept an unconditional, 30-day ceasefire, or face a new round...
US is Flummoxed by Yemen
by Larry C. Johnson | May 1, 2025 | Featured Articles
I almost don’t know what to say about Pete Hegseth’s social media post (see above). It is juvenile, counterproductive and dangerous. During my time living in Central America, I learned a very important piece of wisdom… i.e., The fish dies by its mouth. We need a...

by Larry C. Johnson | Apr 28, 2025 | Featured Articles
(Read part 1 here) The decade of 2000 marked the start of Ukraine becoming a de facto member of NATO. It not only participated in all of the main exercises, but it hosted many. In fact, between 2000 and 2010, Ukraine is ranked in the top six of countries that hosted a...

by Larry C. Johnson | Apr 26, 2025 | Featured Articles
This is the first of a three-part series on the history of NATO and US European Command military exercises with Ukraine. This shows how the West, acting like a camel, slipped its big nose under the Ukrainian tent as part of a long-term strategy to defeat Russia. While...
