Global Tensions Rise as Trump Navigates War Hawks, Tariffs, and Diplomacy

Sen­a­tor Lind­sey Gra­ham push­es for pro­longed con­flict, while Mar­co Rubio warns that new Rus­sia sanc­tions could extend the Ukraine war by two years, deem­ing them inef­fec­tive. Russ­ian For­eign Min­is­ter Lavrov insists on rec­og­niz­ing Crimea and Don­bass as Russ­ian ter­ri­to­ry for any Ukraine set­tle­ment. North Korea’s new war­ship, capa­ble of car­ry­ing over 70 mis­siles, esca­lates ten­sions, with Kim Jong Un blam­ing the U.S. and North Korea aid­ing Rus­sia in Ukraine. Trump’s admin­is­tra­tion plans North Korea talks. Chi­na offers to medi­ate India-Pak­istan ten­sions and advo­cates a polit­i­cal solu­tion for Iran’s nuclear issue. Trump claims Zelen­sky is open to ced­ing Crimea, despite Zelensky’s denials, while the UK’s Starmer close­ly mon­i­tors Zelen­sky after a 100-year secu­ri­ty pact. Netanyahu push­es for war with Iran, coun­tered by Russia’s peace efforts. Domes­tic crit­ics like Jake Sul­li­van label Rus­sia an obsta­cle, while Trump’s tar­iffs and “deep state” maneu­vers, includ­ing efforts to side­line Pete Hegseth, sig­nal tough times ahead for America’s glob­al strat­e­gy.

• Lind­sey Gra­hamnesty wants more war, 2 more years. Mar­co Rubio  says new sanc­tions on Rus­sia would mean 2 more years of war. They would not be use­ful, says Rubio. 
• Lavrov lays out Russia’s terms on Ukraine, Crimea and nuclear arms. He was very clear 
• North Korea launch­es largest new war­ship, states aim to sail beyond penin­su­la. Kim Jong Un blames the US for ris­ing ten­sions at a cer­e­mo­ny for a new destroy­er equipped to car­ry over 70 mis­siles. North Korea could soon enrich 230 kg of weapons-grade ura­ni­um per year. Trump has a lot to deal with. Trump admin game-plan­ning for poten­tial North Korea talks. Who went and helped Rus­sia, North Korea. They sent men to fight for Rus­sia. Rus­sia has the abil­i­ty to get North Korea and Iran to talk to Trump. Trump doesn’t want war but our war­mon­gers do. They are back­ing Zelen­sky to push Trump. US says “fur­ther progress was made in the third round of nuclear talks with Iran. Why is Iran talk­ing to us? Rus­sia is talk­ing to Iran. 
• Putin thanks North Korea for help­ing to defeat Ukrain­ian mil­i­tants in the Kursk region. 
• This is some­thing that was not on any of the net­works. Chi­na offers to help defuse India-Pak­istan ten­sions. Chi­na insists on a polit­i­cal solu­tion to the Iran Nuclear issue, the for­eign min­is­ter. 
• Trump claims Zelen­sky is ready to give up Crimea. Although Zelen­sky has repeat­ed­ly insist­ed he would nev­er for­mal­ly rec­og­nize the penin­su­la as Russ­ian ter­ri­to­ry. Trump keeps say­ing they have had 11 years to do some­thing about Crimea, it has been under Russ­ian con­trol for 11 years. Lavrov states that in the set­tle­ment recog­ni­tion of Crimea and Don­bass as part of Rus­sia is imper­a­tive. 
• Chi­na is involved. These tar­iffs and every­thing is involved. Things could be tough. Stop say­ing you want to save Amer­i­ca if you aren’t will­ing to go through some tough times. 
• The UK and Starmer, why do they keep an eye on him every­where he goes. Every­time you see Starmer and Zelen­sky togeth­er you have to remem­ber they signed a land­mark 100 year part­ner­ship to deep­en secu­ri­ty ties. They had to do it before Trump got into office. Jan 17, 2025. Uk is not let­ting Zelek­sney out of their sight. 
• Trump looked Zelen­sky right in the eye. Trump brushed off Macron. 
• Rus­sia does not nego­ti­ate its own ter­ri­to­ry and is not plan­ning to give back Crimea. Either rec­og­nize it or move on. 
• Bibi netanyahu is try­ing to get us into a war with Iran. Rus­sia is try­ing to help us pre­vent a war with Iran. Rus­sia is ready to help Iran. Every­one is wor­ried about Zelen­sky while there is a war on edge in Iran. 
• Don’t for­get Dan Cald­well was a strong voice against war with Iran. And there was a cam­paign to frame him in a media leak. 
• Jake Sul­li­van should not be on a show, he should be in jail but Pam Bon­di is inac­tive. Accord­ing to Jake Sul­li­van, Rus­sia is an obsta­cle when it comes to doing any­thing for­eign. Not that Rus­sia is work­ing towards peace. Jake Sul­li­van on ABC was set up to get Pete Hegseth out. There is a rea­son the deep state was called in this week­end.
