After 77 years, the greatest alliance in human history is definitely showing its age.
Can a rudderless and increasingly anti-Western Europe be counted on any longer to provide the money and effort needed to save itself? Do we need to have a “tough-love moment” with our old friends from NATO?
Here’s a new version of The Right Angle, moderated by Steve Green and joined by Scott Ott and Bill Whittle.
When he came into office for his second term, President Donald Trump promised to meet with his counterparts in Russia and Communist China and work out deals allowing the three countries to cut their defense budgets in half. In this first year back in office, he has done absolutely nothing whatsoever to advance those goals.
Instead of cuts, we have seen massive defense increases, particularly to companies like Palantir Technologies, engaged in surveillance. In short, Trump lied outright to his MAGA base.
Has he been as grim or disastrous as the Democrats? Nope. But he’s not exactly been a breathe of fresh air, either. Here’s more from Glenn Greenwald.
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) might have had an easy time rifling through the grants administered by the corrupt Agency for International Development (USAID). This small team of young, energetic auditors will face a much more daunting assignment when it tries to make sense out of U.S. Department of Defense spending. The DOD books have been cooked for decades. They hide years upon years of illicit black operations, never meant to be tracked.
Clif High lays out the parameters here in a new video in his Explorers’ Guide to Sci-Fi World. Not only does the DOD adhere to bizarre and truly baffling accounting practices, but the department also has been saddled with infighting among at least two or three rival, and generally clandestine, factions. There’s one faction associated with the CIA. It’s predominantly, if not exclusively, Jewish. There’s another faction that’s Christian-based, making this infighting take on a strange religious shading.
High labels the Christians “the Longhorns,” and says that’s because many within this faction come from the West, particularly Texas. They are tied to various defense contractors, as well as to NASA. At one juncture, these individuals could have belonged to family groups originally from the British countryside. The term Longhorn not only signifies the horns on a breed of cattle, but also possibly the “Langhornes,” a familial clan hailing from Cumberland County along the northwestern border between England and Scotland.
High says it’s going to take a much longer period for the DOGE auditors to make any sense out of Pentagon spending, especially if they start poking into the black operations arena. He doesn’t expect we’ll learn specific details until later in the spring — say April or May. If DOGE is successful, will they crack the code? Will we finally get formal word on the greatest black market operation of all time, focusing on those space aliens who have shaped so much of the course of human history on the Q.T.? Stay tuned.

Vance set the world straight on Friday when he addressed European Union bureaucrats at the Munich Security Conference in Munich, Germany. The “commissars,” as he labeled them, pretend to promote democracy, but their anti-freedom policies betray their people. He scolded them for relying too heavily on the United States to handle their defense against Russia or other adversaries.
Let’s take a look at the speech and the reaction—plus next steps with Ukraine and Israel. Here’s more from Lori Colley.
Official ACLJ’s Jordan Sekulow reports that for the first time in history, the United States will send a patriot missile battery to Ukraine. The system is part of a massive $1.85 billion weapons package the Department of Defense introduced earlier this week.
The announcement, Sekulow says, coincided with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s visit to the White House. Sekulow welcomes former CIA chief Mike Pompeo to weigh in on the significance of it all.
