This is 9 minutes of Trump misleading the American people about Russia & Ukraine. Russia is not gaining land, Ukraine is not bleeding manpower (but Russia is), Putin is not interested in negotiating, Ukraine is not causing high diesel prices (Iran war is)

Excellent discussion with @DenysSienik And @DougKlain of how to best support Ukraine as it fights the Axis of Authoritarians. Let’s start with giving Ukraine access to Starshield over both Ukraine and Russia - so Ukraine can strike archers before they shoot their arrows
Today I moderated a @UkraineCaucus staff briefing with @DenysSienik & @MarkCMontgomery on the urgent need to ensure Ukraine has full access to Starlink & Starshield, including for defensive strikes on missile launchers in Russia. Thanks to our briefers for a timely discussion.

Trump will not end this war by continually pressuring Ukraine. It is clear that neither Witkoff or Kushner has actually read the "Art of the Deal." The president's negotiating team is completely unqualified & has been schooled by the Russians at every turn

This incident serves as a reminder that Russia (like China) is still meddling in the dark arts of engineering bio-weapons

The throttling of Starshield was obviously deliberate and absolutely inappropriate and places Ukrainian military and civilian lives at risk. Trump is basically picking Putin and Russia over Zelensky and Ukraine in this escalating energy campaign.

So long overdue. Pacific Command asked for this 10 years ago and Congress 7 years ago. B-52s are the workhorse of stand-off attack and they bring a large magazine to the fight. Bad news for the PLA Navy.

The Presidents disgraceful decision to buy Russian diesel and fund Putin's war machine is exceeded only by his pathetic attacks on the democratically elected leader of Ukraine. What is next arms sales to Beijing?

Great discussion wiht @Brad_L_Bowman & @VandenbergCo 's Ethan Minkoff about the Axis of Agressors. I am really concerned about our inability to deal with simultaneity - two crisis at once

THE SMART MONEY IS ON TAIWAN : Both Mr. Singleton and Adm. Montgomery said Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te is laser-focused on hardening both the communications networks and the people of Taiwan to the dangers of stepped-up coercion by Beijing.

Detailed research by FDD's Max Lesser & Maria Riofrio - this clearly demonstrates that Qatar is running an aggressive disinformation warfare campaign against western media and public, which is intended to hide Qatars illegal influence buying efforts

Talking with @hughhewitt about the success of the Navy's blockade against Iran, but the risk to long term naval readiness that these operations portend.

A discussion with @thecipherbrief about why Taiwan is a critical economic & security partner for America. One can argue that Taiwan is more important to US economic prosperity then China & it is a vibrant democracy not a thuggish autocracy

It is not just about arms sales “the US and Taiwan militaries need to improve their ability to operate together through exercises, training & planning.”
“It’s very hard to cooperate and fight together in wartime if you don’t work together in peacetime,”

The FDD team met with President Lai to discuss threats to the communications sector & Taiwan’s societal resilience. The Lai Administration has done an exceptional job preparing Taiwan for CCP coercion & FDD is proud to do its small part to support Taiwan

Joined former Rep John Katko on PBS's @balancingactx to discuss the state of US military readiness and what has led to our munitions and readiness challenges. Many of these issues pre-date the war with Iran, and some could take 5-7 years to fix.

Taiwan matters to the US - in the first 6 months of 2026 the US imported more from Taiwan then China - and our imports from Taiwan - largely “compute” like semiconductor logic chips - DRIVE US GDP. It is critical that the U.S. not trade Taiwan’s security for CCP trade concessions

On the BBC discussing the obvious point that of course we have weapons shortfalls due to operations in the Middle East. Even more concerning is the readiness bathtub we are creating for the Navy and Air Force.

We all understand that Ukraine can’t get enough Patriots - so it’s time to shoot the Archers not the Arrows - let’s get the Ukrainians time sensitive targeting capabilities

Simultaneity: You Only Need a Two-Body Problem to Be Screwed: By subordinating all other warfighting missions to the Indo-Pacific, the NDS accepted risk in Europe & the Middle East as deliberate planning assumptions. These are now being stress-tested
