How President Trump Could Bring Peace to Europe

Ukraine Strikes Russian Infrastructure

Ukraine has been hitting Russia where it hurts: its infrastructure. The goal? To disrupt Russia’s war machine and force a reevaluation of its aggression. Here’s the breakdown:

  1. Energy Targets

    Ukraine has gone after Russian energy assets—think oil refineries and supply networks. These strikes aim to choke off resources fueling Russia’s economy and military, adding internal strain.

  2. Supply Line Disruption

    Railways, bridges, and roads used to move troops and equipment? Fair game. Supply depots and command posts? Also hit. It’s about slowing Russia down and limiting its reach.

  3. Precision Hits on Military Assets

    From airstrikes on command centers to supply depot destruction, Ukraine’s pinpoint operations disrupt Russia’s battlefield coordination and logistics.

  4. Cyber Warfare

    Beyond the physical, Ukraine has hacked into Russia’s systems, crippling communications and command structures.

  5. Deep Strikes into Russia

    Ukrainian drones are now hitting targets deep within Russian territory, delivering a psychological blow and forcing Russia to shift resources to defend its own turf.

What Trump Could Do

If Trump steps into the mix, here’s how he might capitalize on Ukraine’s moves:

  1. Diplomatic Leverage

    Trump could use Ukraine’s success to push for peace talks, highlighting Russia’s vulnerabilities and offering a way out in exchange for concessions.

  2. Economic Squeeze

    Ramp up sanctions, especially on Russian energy exports. Secondary sanctions could hit those doing business with Russia, tightening the noose further.

  3. Boosting Ukraine’s Military

    More advanced weapons and intel sharing could enhance Ukraine’s ability to strike harder and smarter.

  4. Rallying Allies

    Trump’s deal-making style could galvanize NATO and other partners to tighten the diplomatic and economic vise on Russia.

  5. Shaping the Narrative

    Publicly hammer home Russia’s growing costs and vulnerabilities to stir dissent within Russia and bolster international resolve.

Bottom Line

Ukraine’s strategy is making life difficult for Russia. Trump has a real opportunity to bring about peace in Europe by capitalizing on these developments. With the right mix of diplomacy, economic pressure, and military aid, he could position himself as the leader who brokered an end to a devastating conflict. The time to act is now.

Bringing dignity to imprisoned women

I’m in Cartagena and yesterday we went to the women’s prison here to bring some much-needed necessities to the ladies and give them the gospel of the good news of Jesus Christ. It was a powerful time. I’m very glad I got a chance to do this. Thank you to all of you who donated to help these women. They are truly “the least of these “.

This Changes Everything for US Military Power

The Pentagon has just released a brand-new artificial intelligence strategy memo — and it’s not about chatbots answering trivia.

 Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth signed a directive pushing the U.S. military to become “AI First.” That means: Deploying new AI models within 30 days of public release Embedding AI into military kill chains Using AI for logistics, battlefield analysis, and targeting Removing bureaucratic barriers to rapid deployment Putting advanced AI tools in the hands of 3 million military and civilian personnel The goal?

Speed, dominance, deterrence.

Mercy on the Ground, War on the Horizon

The conflict between the United States and Iran is doing that strange dance right now. On one hand, you’ve got “negotiations” in Geneva. On the other hand… you’ve got aircraft carriers moving.

Axios reported this morning that we may be closer to striking Iran than most people realize. Not months. Not “someday.” Possibly days. And if you watch the hardware, it tells a clearer story than the press releases.

In just the last 48 hours, reports indicate the U.S. has surged:

  • 48 F-16s

  • 12 F-22s

  • 18 F-35s

  • 6 E-3G Sentry AWACS aircraft

  • Roughly 40 aerial refueling tankers

Meanwhile, the USS Gerald R. Ford carrier strike group has passed the Rock of Gibraltar and entered the Mediterranean.

And here’s what most people don’t understand:

That carrier does not have to sail into the Strait of Hormuz to be useful.

From the eastern Mediterranean—especially with tanker support—U.S. aircraft can strike targets inside Iran. Which means this could kick off before the Ford ever gets to the Gulf.

These “Talks” Aren’t Really Talks

The negotiations happening in Geneva aren’t face-to-face. There’s no American official sitting across a table from the Ayatollah. It’s shuttle diplomacy.

Omani intermediaries walk between rooms—one room with American envoys, another with Iranian representatives—carrying messages back and forth.

The U.S. says:
“You must give up highly enriched uranium and abandon your nuclear ambitions.”

Iran says:
“We’re willing to talk.”

And then quietly:
“Just not about that.”

That’s not negotiation.

And while the delay continues, the Ayatollah is publicly threatening to sink American carriers, calling them “big targets.”

Can Iran Sink a Carrier?

Let’s be serious for a moment. Yes, Iran has hypersonic missiles. Yes, they have thousands of short-range missiles designed to threaten neighbors like Saudi Arabia. Yes, they have speedboats with guns and some small submarines.

But here’s the problem for them:
