We are now walking through the darkness. But we can see flashes of light.
Has the battle begun? Will it lead into a monstrous war? How will we prevail?
The solution: Exposure. The darkness must become light. We must learn about the traitors in our midst and how they cheated us.
How do you show the truth? Pray! Here’s more from And We Know.
So it’s back on again with Iran — for the third time, depending on how you count the various ceasefires, overtures, discussions and ultimatums.
Can someone remind us why we are talking to these Mullah’s in the first place?
Here’s a new edition of The Right Angle with Steve Green leading the discussion, joined by Scott Ott and Bill Whittle.
For nearly 140 days, the conflict with Iran has shifted from direct military action to negotiations and limited exchanges, leaving key objectives unresolved.
Missile attacks on Gulf states continue, the Strait of Hormuz remains contested, and questions remain about Iran’s enriched uranium and nuclear capabilities.
Iran has sought to prolong the conflict until after the midterm elections, while President Trump is under pressure to conclude military operations without preventing Iran from rebuilding its military strength.
The latest strikes have become more aggressive, remaining military targets are identified, responsibility for securing the Strait of Hormuz is shifted to regional allies, and Iran’s decision to avoid attacking Israel despite continuing attacks across the Gulf highlights Israel’s deterrence and military advantage.

Economist Martin Armstrong returns to the program to provide the strategic insights and geopolitical analysis that have made him one of the most closely followed economic forecasters in the world. We discuss what President Donald Trump’s meeting with Xi Jinping likely resulted in regarding Taiwan and the broader implications for the balance of power in Asia.
Armstrong shares his perspective on the negotiations, the interests of the major players involved, and why the public narrative often misses the deeper strategic objectives shaping world events.

Armstrong also discusses his involvement in the brokered peace framework with Vladimir Putin and explains why he believes President Trump has followed many of the key elements outlined in the agreement. According to Armstrong, these developments represent a positive step toward a more productive working relationship with Russia. Here’s more from Sarah Westall on Business Game Changers.
The war with Iran has settled into a dangerous pattern of strikes, retaliation and stalled negotiations. Iran appears to be using talks to buy time while continuing to threaten the Gulf, tankers and the Strait of Hormuz.
The United States has already damaged major parts of Iran’s military and political structure, but the conflict will continue unless Iran loses the ability to keep attacking its neighbors and disrupting global shipping. The path forward is to raise the cost on Iran’s military infrastructure, weaken its ability to strike and create the conditions for most American forces to come home.
With oil prices stabilizing, regional allies capable of helping keep the strait open and the midterms approaching, the question is whether Trump can end the conflict decisively and shift attention back to the economy and the political fights at home. Here’s more from Victor Davis Hanson.
