Ryan Routh, 59, the man who attempted to assassinate President Donald J. Trump at his golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida last September, has been found guilty by a jury of all charges, which consists of five federal criminal counts, including attempting to assassinate a major presidential candidate, assaulting a federal officer, and multiple firearms offenses. The charges carry a maximum sentence of life in prison, with Routh attempting to stab himself in the neck with a pen after the guilty verdict was read, but was stopped in his apparent “attempted suicide” by court officials.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky following his meeting today with U.S. President Donald J. Trump: “Trump realized that Putin was sharing with him information about the battlefield situation that was far from the truth. Now he trusts me much more because the information our intelligence possesses, we share with our partners. In September, we de-occupied 360 km² and we control a certain number of Russian soldiers who were encircled.”

While walking through New York City last night to the French Embassy, President Emmanuel Macron was blocked from crossing the street due to a road closure awaiting the Motorcade of U.S. President Donald J. Trump, with Macron calling Trump to jokingly complain about the situation, reportedly blaming his “Slow Motorcade.”

U.S. President Donald J. Trump in a meeting earlier with French President Emmanuel Macron, “The biggest disappointment, but I think that it will happen eventually, is the Ukraine and Russia situation, but we’ve settled — I thought that was going to be the easiest one because of my relationship with Putin, but unfortunately that relationship didn’t mean anything unfortunately.”

Speaking tonight on Fox News following his meeting earlier today with and statements made by President Donald J. Trump, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky states that President Trump has showed that he wants to support Ukraine “to the very end.”

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth spoke yesterday with Estonian Defense Minister Hanno Pevkur for the first time since last week’s incursion by several Russian fighter jets into Estonia’s Airspace over the Gulf of Finland. Secretary Hegseth affirmed the U.S. War Department stands with all NATO allies and that any incursion into NATO Airspace is unacceptable, commending the quick response by European allies' air defenses stating it showed NATO at its best, ready and focused on their core mission. The Secretary ensured the Minister that he was in close consultation with the Supreme Allied Commander for Europe about next steps and would continue to closely track the situation in Eastern Europe.

The response by Poland’s Deputy Prime Minister to today’s statement by U.S. President Donald J. Trump, in which he called for NATO Allies to shoot down Russian military aircraft that violate their airspace, following last week’s intrusion over Estonia:

I expect Russia will continue to test and push NATO’s “resolve” in Northern and Eastern Europe over the coming weeks, especially after today, though we will have to see who is willing to actually follow through with today’s suggestion by President Trump. Escalation by Russia against Europe won’t stop until direct action is taken, and such direct action would likely need to entail burning MiGs and/or Sukhois.

Nuclear strike exercises are currently underway in France, with at least 5 Airbus A330 Multirole Tanker Transports (MRTT) currently up over the country alongside an E-3F “Sentry” Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) Aircraft and an untold number of Dassault Rafale Bs with France’s Strategic Air Forces. (FAS). The exercise, dubbed Operation Poker, is carried out at various intensities and times throughout the year, consisting of three phases:

1. Preparation
2. Long-Range Raid
3. Simulated Nuclear Attack

While the exercise is usually a solo operation by France, I can’t help but wonder if the recent rare deployment of a U.S. Navy E-6B “Mercury” Airborne Nuclear Command Post and Communications Relay to Ramstein Air Base in Germany is somehow linked to this iteration of Poker or maybe an upcoming snap nuclear exercise by NATO.

To be a fly on the wall and hear some of the conversations between world leaders at tonight’s United Nations Leaders' Reception in New York City.

Very interesting, it appears as though a flight of U.S. Air Force B-2A “Spirit” Long-Range Strategic Stealth Bombers are currently preparing to cross the Atlantic towards Europe. All while nuclear strike exercises are ongoing in France and a U.S. Navy E-6B “Mercury” Airborne Nuclear Command Post and Communications Relay sits at Ramstein Air Base in Germany.

As predicted earlier, the U.S. Navy E-6B “Mercury” Airborne Nuclear Command Post and Communications Relay, going by the callsign: (COST43), is now up from Ramstein Air Base in Germany and flying north towards an expected flight zone over the Northern Atlantic just to the south of Iceland. This, along with the flight of B-2A “Spirit” Long-Range Strategic Stealth Bombers currently crossing the Atlantic toward Europe, suggests final preparations for a major nuclear exercise in Northern Europe under U.S. Strategic Command (STRATCOM). What makes this even more interesting, is that a nuclear first-strike exercise, Poker 2025-3, has just ended in France.
