Trump’s softer stance on Putin sparks concern as Ukraine’s survival and Europe’s security hang in the balance.

Trump, Zelenskyy, and EU leaders face a pivotal meeting that could reshape the path to peace and Ukraine’s fight for sovereignty.

Retired BG Bolduc discusses the outcomes of the Trump-Putin summit, noting it did not lead to progress toward peace in Ukraine.

Deploying federal troops in Washington, D.C., may project strength, but in reality it risks eroding public trust, inflaming tensions, and undermining the very freedoms it claims to protect.

Addressing crime and homelessness effectively means tackling the root causes—poverty, housing, mental health, and jobs—rather than relying on a militarized response that treats symptoms instead of solutions.

This summit between Trump and Putin, held without President Zelensky’s participation, risks trading away Ukraine’s sovereignty while setting a dangerous precedent for sidelining smaller nations in decisions about their own future.

Real security starts on the front porch, not a distant headquarters—when officers belong to the neighborhood, trust, accountability, and safer streets follow.

Appeasing dictators is not a strategy for peace—it is an open invitation for tyranny to spread unchecked across the globe.

Ceding Ukrainian land to Russia would not only violate Ukraine’s sovereignty and international law, but also reward aggression, embolden further expansionism, and undermine the global order the U.S. and its allies are bound to defend.

When generals trade their moral compass for career preservation, the troops end up navigating the battlefield blind.

Real leaders aren’t forged in echo chambers—they’re the ones who choose principle over promotion, even when the system dares them not to.

The real threat to military readiness isn’t partisan politics—it’s a generation of generals who abandoned the warrior ethos in favor of careerism and cowardice.
