🚨 RUSSIA THREATENS AZERBAIJAN

Putin’s top war bloggers — with millions of followers — are calling for war against another neighbor.

They say Azerbaijan is “the next Ukraine.”
And they want to strike before it joins NATO.

Do they speak for Putin?

Maybe. 🧵 Image
2/ On July 20, Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev told Ukraine:

“Never accept Russian occupation.”

He also blamed Russia for a December plane shootdown that killed 38 civilians — and vowed to sue Moscow in international court.

Russian war bloggers went ballistic. Image
3/ These aren’t fringe voices.

They’re Putin-aligned influencers with millions of followers, often used to float Kremlin policy.

Their demand:

“Only force will change Aliyev’s mind.”
“Conflict with Azerbaijan is inevitable.” Image
4/ Russia still hasn’t forgiven Baku for its 2023 blitz reclaiming Nagorno-Karabakh from its ally Armenia — while Russian troops were on the ground.

That war shattered Moscow’s credibility in the Caucasus.

Now, they want revenge. Image
5/ The tensions are boiling:

🇷🇺 Russian raids killed Azerbaijanis in June
🇦🇿 Baku retaliated by arresting Russia’s Sputnik staff
✈️ Russian defenses likely shot down a civilian plane
📢 Azerbaijan backed Ukraine’s war aims

Russia's media machine says: "Enough." Image
6/ Why does this matter?

Because Azerbaijan is backed by NATO-ally Turkey — and together they’re forming a Turkic alliance across Central Asia.

And now even Armenia is trying to get rid of Russia.

Russia sees all this as a mortal threat. Image
7/ Russian war bloggers now call Azerbaijan:

🟥 “A NATO outpost”
🟥 “A geopolitical enemy”
🟥 “A Russophobic actor”

And they’re demanding the Caspian Sea become the next battlefield. Image
8/ If Putin invades again, it won’t be like Ukraine 2022.

It’ll be Ukraine, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan all at once.

Right on NATO's doorstep, in a country we aren't likely to let fall. Image
9/ The greater danger is a direct Russian conflict with NATO. Turkey is not likely to stand idly by if Russia invades. Neither is Trump.

OTOH, can Russia really overextend to this degree? It can't even advance in Ukraine.

Might this collapse the house of cards? Image
10/ Trump has given Putin a 50-day ultimatum: good faith negotiations for peace in Ukraine or America will drop the hammer.

Look at what happened in Iran the day after the deadline.

This is about to get intense. Image

🚨 TRUMP'S GOLDEN DOME COULD BE READY IN 3 YEARS.

That’s not a hope — it’s a plan.

Gen. Michael Guetlein will announce the architecture for America’s new missile shield in just 60 days.

It’s not theoretical. The tech is real. The money is secured. And the need is urgent.

🧵 Image
2/ Trump’s Golden Dome will protect the entire U.S. homeland from:

✅ Hypersonics
✅ ICBMs
✅ Cruise missiles
✅ Drones

This is Reagan's "Star Wars" vision, but updated for 2025 and beyond.

And it’s being run like SpaceX — not the DMV. Image
3/ Gen. Guetlein, just named to lead the team, says it plainly:

“I firmly believe the technology we need exists today.
The real challenge is organization.”

Not research.
Not theory.
Just execution.

We can do this — and fast. Image

🚨BREAKING: Mike Lindell WINS his $5 million appeal.

The courts just tossed the bogus arbitration that tried to bankrupt him for exposing 2020 election fraud.

The truth is catching up. And the Deep State is panicking. 🧵 Image
2/ Back in 2021, Lindell offered $5 million to anyone who could prove his election data didn’t show foreign interference.

A software engineer tried and failed.

But the guy sued anyway—and a sketchy arbitration panel overturned the contest rules.

thepostmillennial.com/breaking-mike-…
3/ The arbitration board just made up new contract terms out of thin air. The goal? Bury Lindell, discredit the evidence, and silence election fraud claims. Image

🚨 Yes, there will be arrests.

After four years in exile, being prosecuted and shot at, Trump didn’t come back to “move on.”

He came back to finish this.

The Deep State is being hunted. And this time, they’re not walking free.

🧵 A thread for the skeptics:Image
2/ Conservatives are jaded — and rightly so.

For 20 years, Democrats walked, Republicans hung.

But that era is over.

Trump isn’t just mad.
He’s methodical.

He’s had 4 years to plan every moment of his comeback.

And it’s already underway. Image
3/ Tulsi Gabbard’s declassifications weren’t random.

They were evidence.

They prove Obama KNEW Russia wasn’t colluding with Trump — and ordered a cover-up anyway.

He weaponized the entire government to destroy his elected successor.

That’s a coup.

🚨 BREAKING: THREE MAJOR TRADE DEALS IN ONE DAY

Trump just landed trade deals with Japan, Indonesia, and the Philippines.

Billions in investment. Massive new markets. Tariffs that FAVOR the U.S.

This isn’t just trade policy.

It’s the Trump Doctrine in action.

🧵 A thread: Image
2/ 🇯🇵 JAPAN DEAL

Trump: “We just completed a MASSIVE deal with Japan, perhaps the largest deal ever made.”

– Japan to invest $550 BILLION in the U.S.
– 90% of profits go to the U.S.
– 15% reciprocal tariffs
– Opens Japanese market to U.S. cars, rice & more

Unprecedented. Image
3/ 🇮🇩 INDONESIA DEAL

– Ends all non-tariff barriers
– 19% tariffs on Indonesian imports (was 32%)
– Major sales of U.S. energy, agriculture, and Boeing jets
– Indonesia must adopt U.S. labor & IP protections

Game-changing. Image

🚨 TRUMP'S NEXT POWER MOVE: Who will he pick to run the Fed?

Powell is history. It's just a matter of when.

“People are begging for the job,” Trump says—and it’s one of the most powerful seats on Earth.

Let’s break down who's likely to lead the Fed. 🧵 Image
2/ Trump just called Jerome Powell “a disaster.”

He says the Fed chair job is “the easiest in government—if you’re not a dummy.”

And while he might not fire Powell before 2026, he’s already narrowing the field.
3/ Why does it matter?

Powell artificially cut rates to boost the Democrats last year...and is now keeping them artificially high to hurt Trump.

This is "independence"?

1/3 of the federal debt must be refinanced THIS YEAR. The difference between 4.5% and 1.5% is STAGGERING. Image

🔥 BREAKING: Rogue judges tried to override Trump’s authority by firing U.S. Attorney Alina Habba and replaced her with her deputy.

So the DOJ just fired the deputy instead.

This is what fighting the Deep State looks like.

🧵 Thread: Trump vs. the judicial coup in New Jersey. Image
2/ Alina Habba — Trump’s former lawyer — was appointed U.S. Attorney for New Jersey. Acting until she gets confirmed by the Senate.

She cracked down on crime and embarrassed corrupt Democrat elites.

Naturally, Democrat-appointed judges wanted her gone. Image
3/ Under a legal loophole, judges can vote to replace an acting U.S. attorney after a 120-day interim term.

So they did. They replaced Habba with her deputy, Desiree Grace.

But Trump’s DOJ nuked the move — by firing Grace on the spot. Image
