Let’s connect some dots:
Vladimir Putin’s Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022.
The Ayatollah’s of Iran began supplying Shad drones and helping Russia build them by setting up production facilities in Russia.
Russia supplies Iran with weapons and intelligence to pursue its war against the United States, which admittedly we started.
North Korean has been sending soldiers with artillery and guided missiles to Russia to continue its campaign against Ukraine. They already provided 14,000 troops beginning in 2024, while today Russian Foreign Secretary Sergei Lavrov and his North Korean counterpart praised their collaboration and suggested that up to 50,000 more North Koreans would be deployed to Russia to fight Ukraine

China supplies all of them with technology and intelligence, particularly about the United States military in the Middle East and the Western Pacific.
Now look at the one man at the center of the tumult today. His name: Donald J. Trump.
Trump has been a long time admirer of Vladimir Putin, and might be a Russian intelligence asset, or rather a dupe because he’s not intelligent enough to be a spy. Either way, that is not good.
Trump has mostly hindered aid and assistance to Ukraine which is both fighting for its life and acting as the eastern bulwark of NATO until the alliance can rearm to meet the Russian threat. That threat it not imaginary as the Russians have been making intrusions against NATO allies in the Baltic and Western Europe, using drones, aircraft and ships, but Trump reduced and continues to reduce American forces allotted to the defense of Europe, ships, aircraft, and ground troops, seemingly ignoring all that European nations have contributed to United States.
To any rational person it would seem that Trump has been helping Putin, while occasionally dangling a carrot to Ukraine.
Meanwhile, angry that South Korea had not supported his war against Iran enough, Trump ordered a dramatic scaling back of military exercises with South Korea because they offended North Korean dictator Jim Jung Un, who Trump seems to have had a man crush on since his first term. Kim seemingly do nothing to convince Trump that he is a threat in Northeast Asia and around the world.
While Trump stupidly entered a war against Iran with Israel, whose regional and strategic interests are far different than those of the United States, Russia and China have been supporting Iran, with assistance from North Korea. While Trump occasionally talks tough about China, he continually strips the Western Pacific of military assets that would be necessary in any war against North Korea, or perhaps against Chinese campaigns against Taiwan, the Philippines, or anywhere in the Western Pacific, like against our bases in the First Island Chain, that is Japan, Okinawa, and other locations. These are places that our current military plans hinge in the Western Pacific. The last carrier strike group, that of the USS George Washington is now on its way to Iran to relieve the USS Abraham Lincoln.
Let us understand, China’s Xi, Putin and Kim know that Trump is an imbecile and they play him by complimenting him and making him feel good. So Trump abandons allies, why engaging in a war that has no good outcome. The Iranians know this and understand that they can play him. They know that Trump has no good options and are willing to let him twist in the wind as Trump continues to weaken the United States.
Trump loves Putin, Xi, and Kim, but all are lined up against us and the countries traditionally allied or aligned with United States interests. While Trump is against the Iranians, all of them are helping the Iranians against him.
Trump is weakening the United States by his illegal, immoral, and counterproductive war against Iran, while enabling true enemies of the United States. Iran might be an enemy, but until Trump attacked them and exposed our weaknesses in the Persian Gulf, they were not a threat. Now Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz, while their Houthi clients are beginning to choke maritime traffic in the Red Sea and the BAB El Mendeb.
Trump is the nexus of the Axis of Evil. Over a decade he has undermined U.S. National Security, which includes economic factors like oil.
No previous U.S. President has ever put the country in such a dangerous position.
