It's clear enough, to me, that Trump is completely overwhelmed by the spreading war. That is what the psychopaths, NeoCons, Banksters, and Chinese wanted. I had much higher hopes a month or two ago that Trump would be able to JUST walk away from these many smoldering fires. But now he seems completely entrapped in NATO vs Russia (Ukraine) and Israel vs. Iran (Which will involve Russia, again). Meantime, China can escalate Taiwan at almost any point. And Pakistan vs. India is heating up, big time. I have this vision of Trump as Gulliver, tied down on the beach by swarms of Lilliputians.
Meantime, the survival of the United States as an example of LIMITED government where the citizens are sovereign is very much in doubt.
Even without all these "foreign entanglements" the United States, and Trump specifically, would have an almost impossible task: Concurrently Rebuild (1) the economy (2) the autarky (3) the mental and physical health (4) the unity of the population as ONE culture. And do all that why the DemonRats-cum-CCP-WEF-banksters-NeoCons (the Leninists, I have begun to call them) battle him in court and with PsyOps, with endless impediments to just getting the country sober and the 20+ million illegal-immigrant GENOCIDE-Bombs out of the way. Again, those 20+ million are enough, all by themselves, to take out the United States entirely (just look at how the same "GENOCIDE-Bomb" is eating out the European nations).
So, Armstrong has THE BEST prediction record, by far, of anyone I am aware of, anywhere, WRT things unfolding in the world on many different levels.
For at least 10 years he has been consistent about a number of things, especially including the "War Cycle" going into high gear as the 2020's advanced. I believe the high point of the War Cycle (risk of World War going full kinetic) peaks in 2027. We are already well into that cycle risk and it will continue until about 2032 -- when China is the "model" favorite to become the financial center of the world.
I just think it is, like, nuts that the United States citizens can't even come close to agreeing that investing everything into saving the United States (as a Constitutional Republic and successful economy) should be numbers 1,2,3 (at least) top priorities at this point. The United States mess reminds me of my own mess: where it is obvious that first I need to "clean up my room" before I undertake to clean up the whole world.

If Trump Does Not Wake UP – The EU will Invoke Article 5 and Take us into WWIII

QUESTION: Do you agree with Trump imposing more sanctions on Russia to force peace?
VB
ANSWER: Absolutely no way. This is a stupid move, and it demonstrates to me that either Trump is not being fed the real intel, or he is being reckless. There is no way Putin should sign any peace deal with Ukraine when the EU is openly building an army and every word that comes out of their mouth is WAR, WAR, WAR. In Europe, Germany directed Zelensky not to sign any peace deal. They want war. On German TV, all you hear is war on talk shows and news. The EU is crumbling economically, and it needs war as a diversion.

Despite 450 million vs 330 million in the USA, GDP growth is a small fraction of that of the United States. They are clinging to Marxism and the social agenda, and they will ride that until the economy is completely destroyed.
If I were Putin, I would be preparing for outright war with NATO. If Trump does not wake up, he will drag the US into a third European War, which could even be by the fourth quarter of 2025. We have a Panic Cycle in 2026, and that is showing up as Panic Cycles in numerous markets. This is not going to be a walk in the park.

This is NOT my Personal Opinion!
