There’s a new story coming out of the war in Iran that isn’t getting much attention, and that’s where I’m going to shine the light in this article.

But before we zoom in on that development, let’s zoom out so we gain a full perspective on the situation.

Russia has made it crystal clear for decades that one of its strategic goals is to undermine—and ultimately destroy—the United States from within, using propaganda, kompromat, corrupt politicians, and influential people willing to sell their souls for a big paycheck.

Former KGB agent Yuri Bezmenov described this strategy well when he said:

“Change the perception of reality of every American to such an extent that, despite the abundance of information, no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country.”

And Trump’s kids have made it crystal clear that Russia was funneling a lot of money to their father’s company when they said things like this:

“We see a lot of money pouring in from Russia.”

— Don Trump Jr. (2008)

“We don’t rely on American banks. We have all the funding we need out of Russia.”

— Eric Trump (2014)

Trump, of course, claims that his collusion with Russia is all a “hoax,“ but let’s do a thought exercise and imagine it’s not.

If Putin—a former KGB agent—had people working for him inside the US government, what would he want them to do first?

I think we can all agree that data and national secrets would be at the top of the list.

And what was the very first thing the Trump administration went after once they were sworn in?

Data and national secrets.

Remember those reports of Elon Musk and his young, inexperienced team of programmers showing up to various government agencies—after hours—to extract data and reprogram systems?

Remember one of those individuals—“Big Balls”—who was reportedly fired from his previous job after security concerns related to the handling of sensitive data? His real name is Edward Coristine, and his grandfather, Valery Martynov, was a KGB lieutenant colonel.

For context, Putin was also a lieutenant colonel in the KGB at the exact same time.

Remember when the Wall Street Journal reported that Elon Musk was having “secret conversations“ with Vladimir Putin just before the election?

Or when The Guardian reported that those conversations have been occurring regularly for years?

Then there was the government whistleblower who reported that login attempts from Russian IP addresses were made using newly created credentials associated with DOGE.

What else did these guys do right out of the gate that harmed America and benefited Putin?

They completely gutted the government—replacing high-level professionals with grossly incompetent lunatics.

Trump tariffed the entire planet—including penguins—but not Russia.

They started bullying all of the countries Putin hates—which happen to be all of America’s strongest allies—completely destroying economic and defence alliances.

They went after colleges and foreigners—driving talented students away from the US.

They abruptly cut off all assistance to Ukraine and refused to even SELL weapons to them directly.

They gave billionaires tax cuts and massive subsidies that exploded the national debt—again—pushing the United States closer to a fiscal crisis.

Trump is currently gaslighting NATO like an abusive bully—trying to make it look like it’s their fault the relationship is falling apart, when in reality, weakening NATO has been one of Putin’s central strategic objectives for decades—and a goal he has pursued relentlessly.

This isn’t the entire list—but if you wanted to destroy a country, this is the checklist. This is how you permanently change the trajectory of a nation and set it back for decades.

And it gets worse.

Here is the story that seems to have flown under the radar.

Remember when Marco Rubio admitted the administration knew Iran would attack U.S. military bases in the Middle East if Netanyahu launched a strike—which, according to him, is why the United States joined the war in the first place.

How did he know that?

Because it was common sense.

And here’s where things start to get strange.

Military whistleblowers are now sounding the alarm. One individual who gave an interview to CBS said there was zero preparation at his base in the Middle East before the attack on Iran.

Iran is a major innovator in drone warfare, and we’ve had not one, not two, not three—but four years of watching Iranian-designed “Shahed” drones slam into Ukrainian apartment buildings night after night.

Everyone knows how dangerous and deadly they are.

The US service member in the interview said there was not a single measure in place for stopping those drones.

It’s unclear how much damage was inflicted, but we know they were hit hard, and some reports say US bases in the region have been evacuated—forcing operations to shut down.

Being that unprepared seems intentional—any high school student knows drone defense is mandatory in modern warfare.

And then it was reported that Putin was sending advanced drone technology to Iran while also supplying satellite imagery and targeting data to improve their strike capabilities.

Even though Trump disrespected Zelenskyy in the White House and cut off all support to him—President Zelenskyy graciously offered to provide the most advanced drone interceptors—and even offered to send experienced drone operators to help stop these Russian/Iranian drones from hitting US bases.

Trump’s response?

“The last person we need help from is Zelenskyy”— then he dropped sanctions on Russia.

Keep in mind:

Vladimir Putin has absolutely hated the fact that the US has such powerful military bases throughout the Middle East, and now, he is literally destroying them with his friends in Tehran.

Russian bloggers have joked about how easy it is for them to destroy the US military with Iran. One guy went on to say they should pause the war in Ukraine and focus all of their attention on taking out the US military since it’s so much easier than Ukraine.

Even after multiple reports that Putin was helping Iran target US bases, Republicans were busy in DC giving a Russian delegation a tour of the capital.

In any sane reality, this would be high treason. But millions of Americans are cheering on these globalist billionaires while they systematically destroy their own country and siphon off its wealth.

These dots are incredibly easy to connect—the only problem is that the billionaire-owned mainstream media is blocking millions of Americans from even knowing they exist.

If you have friends or family members who might not fully understand what’s going on, please consider sharing this article with them. It’s incredibly important that people get information that isn’t getting the attention it deserves in the mainstream media.

The deleterious impact of Trump upon our democratic and societal norms fell heavily upon me today. I voted yes on a referendum that authorizes the Virginia legislature to adopt new congressional districts for the November 2026 elections instead of waiting to do so until after the 2030 Census. I was — and am — deeply conflicted. This vote went against my principles and my sense of what is right. That said, I recognize that what normally would be considered right — and fair — has been turned on its proverbial head. This is Trump’s legacy — the devaluation of principles and the erasure of lines of what is right and fair.
