President Trump has been clear that the war must end immediately. As long as Putin continues the senseless killings, the Kremlin’s puppet, Gunvor, will never get a license to operate and profit.

Today, at the direction of President Trump, the Department of War carried out a lethal kinetic strike on another narco-trafficking vessel operated by a Designated Terrorist Organization (DTO) in the Caribbean.
This vessel—like EVERY OTHER—was known by our intelligence to be involved in illicit narcotics smuggling, was transiting along a known narco-trafficking route, and carrying narcotics. Three male narco-terrorists were aboard the vessel during the strike, which was conducted in international waters. All three terrorists were killed, and no U.S. forces were harmed in this strike.
These narco-terrorists are bringing drugs to our shores to poison Americans at home—and they will not succeed. The Department will treat them EXACTLY how we treated Al-Qaeda. We will continue to track them, map them, hunt them, and kill them.

📊 Atlas/Bloomberg LATAM-WIDE Poll - Crisis in Venezuela 🇻🇪
We're releasing today the Latam-Wide poll, designed to provide robust estimates of public opinion for the entire adult population of Latin Americans living in the Americas, including the United States and Canada.
1️⃣ Support for a US Led Intervention in Venezuela
Amid the rise of U.S. troops in the Caribbean, 53% of Latin Americans say they would support a U.S. military intervention “to depose Nicolás Maduro and his government.” Among the Venezuelan diaspora surveyed in the LATAM-WIDE poll, 64% back the action.

📍Ponce, #UnitedStates (🇺🇸)
The Special Forces mothership MV Ocean Trader is on the move, pulling away from the Port of Ponce back out into the Caribbean.
📍Port of Ponce, #UnitedStates (🇺🇸)
The @USNavy cruiser USS Lake Erie (CG-70) has arrived in Ponce this morning.
She was docked alongside the Special Forces mothership MV Ocean Trader & testing ship USNS Waters (T-AGS-45).
«La Administración Trump ha tomado la decisión de atacar instalaciones militares dentro de Venezuela…»
«…los objetivos —que podrían ser atacados por aire en cuestión de días o incluso horas— también buscan decapitar la jerarquía del cártel.»

Wait… what?
NATO isn’t about “peace” or “security”. It’s an imperialist war machine. Just look at Afghanistan and Libya.
Arms dealers profit while our NHS collapses, public services crumble and millions of children grow up in poverty.
We must withdraw from NATO immediately.
People don’t need forever wars. They need material improvements to their lives.
Wages, not weapons. Welfare, not warfare.
Decisive moral clarity has long been a hallmark of conservatism.
Equivocation and circumlocution, a feature of the left.
It is concerning to see the line now blurring, at least for some.
You know perfectly well that the US has never been a party to the CTBT @Amb_Ulyanov. The Senate rejected that treaty.
But we have abided by a zero-yield testing pledge since 1992 — the same pledge Russia made.
Unlike Russia, we keep our pledges. You’ve been violating yours.
President Trump’s decision to instruct the Pentagon to immediately resume testing of US nuclear weapons requires further clarification. The US President wants to test US nuclear arsenal on an “equal basis” with other nuclear powers. But the point is that other nuclear weapon states do not conduct nuclear test explosions which are prohibited by the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty. As far as Russia is concerned, it recently tested delivery vehicles, not nuclear explosive devices. Such tests have nothing to do with #CTBT. So, there is a need to understand precisely what the US is planning to do and how these plans correlate with the provisions of the CTBT.
At yesterday’s graduation ceremony it was a privilege to host President of the Kurdistan Region, Nerchirvan Barzani. He is the founder of @UKH_official.
We graduated our largest class since being founded in 2006: 526 students.
These impressive young people are an inspiration.

NEW: The Trump admin has identified targets in Venezuela that include military facilities used to smuggle drugs, U.S. officials say.
If Trump decides to move forward w/ airstrikes, they say, the targets would send a clear message to Maduro that it is time to step down. wsj.com/world/americas/u-s-e…
2/2) …Please do your homework. The State Department has warned for years, under multiple administrations, that Russia is doing clandestine nuclear tests with yield. Any “expert” who doesn’t know this is no expert.
Further, the CTBT was overwhelmingly rejected by the US Senate.
1/2) In light of the President’s decision to resume testing, I commend this article by my friend & colleague, Tom DiNanno, now the Under Secretary of State for Arms Control & International Security.
Also, journalists who want to write on this matter…

The clumsy Russian strategy of waving around Skyfall & Poseidon in an attempt to intimidate President Trump, all while secretly conducting nuclear tests with yield, has backfired.
The flying Chernobyl didn’t scare us into renewing NewSTART in 2020, & it won’t work in ‘25 either.
For fellow history buffs, interesting pub by @thejointstaff.
On Dec 20, 1989, the US initiated restoration of democracy in Panama & capture of the narco-dictator Noriega.
This happened after a gradual build-up of forces that intensified in Oct 1989.
