🚨 BOMBSHELL: Trump may deploy a private army to Ukraine.

No U.S. troops. No endless wars. No blank checks.

Instead: American contractors protecting our interests, deterring Putin, and making peace possible.

This is brilliant. 🧵 Image
Image
2/ Here’s the genius:

🔹 Trump promised no U.S. troops in Ukraine.
🔹 He also promised effective security.
🔹 The solution? Use private American contractors — not soldiers — to secure bases, borders, & U.S. business.

Smart. Legal. Deterrence without an offensive army. Image
3/ They would:

⚡ Rebuild fortifications & bases
⚡ Guard American businesses & interests
⚡ Deter Putin by putting Americans (with U.S. passports) on the ground

If Putin breaks the peace, he knows he risks a U.S. response. But there's no army he has to fear invading Russia. Image
4/ This isn’t nation-building. This isn’t Afghanistan 2.0.

It’s a lean, targeted strategy:

✅ No U.S. troop deployments
✅ No endless subsidies
✅ No blank-check foreign aid

Just a hard-nosed America First deterrent.

5/ The broader peace plan:

🇪🇺 Europe trains & arms Ukraine’s army
🇺🇸 U.S. contractors reinforce borders & bases
✈️ Air policing missions to reopen Ukraine’s skies
🚢 Black Sea task force to secure trade routes

All without a single U.S. soldier on the front lines. Image
6/ Critics will scream: “But Trump is privatizing war!”

Wrong. He’s privatizing peace.

This is deterrence without occupation. Accountability without quagmire. Defense without threat of offense.

It’s gives Ukraine security without threatening Russia...unless they attack. Image
7/ And let’s be honest:

The real issue isn’t “contractors.” It’s that Trump just proved America can defend its interests without sending troops into another forever war.

That terrifies the DC foreign policy establishment. Image
Image
8/ I wrote a Deep Dive on the dangers Putin faces at home if he makes peace. This plan helps reduce those.

It also undoes decades of Neocon foreign policy. It's Reaganeque in effectiveness, Trumpian in directness.

And it may prove key to lasting peace.

🚨 Trump just checkmated India’s oil game.

🇮🇳 Saved $17B buying Russia’s “discount” crude.
🇺🇸 Trump’s new tariffs will cost them $37B.

Wipeout.

And that’s just the warning shot, to ALL Putin's customers. It can get much worse.

They'll start pushing Putin to make peace.

🧵 Image
Image
2/ After Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, India became Putin’s lifeline—snapping up cheap oil no one else would touch.

Today, nearly 40% of India’s crude comes from Russia.

That cash pays for Putin’s war machine.

Trump decided: enough. Image
3/ On Wednesday, Trump’s 25% general tariff + 25% penalty tariff for Russian oil imports went live.

Result: India’s “savings” from cheap Russian oil → totally erased.

They’ll LOSE about $20B this fiscal year compared to sticking with free-world suppliers. Image

🚨 TRUMP JUST FIRED 500+ DEEP STATERS AT VOA

Voice of America was hijacked decades ago—turned from anti-communist truth-telling into a taxpayer-funded megaphone for globalist propaganda.

Now Trump is dismantling it, job by job.

THREAD 🧵 Image
2/ The U.S. Agency for Global Media (which runs VOA, Radio Free Europe, Radio Free Asia, etc.) is slashing 532 jobs.

That’s HALF of what's left of the agency.

Why? Because Trump refuses to let American tax dollars fund unaccountable Democrats who hate America. Image
3/ VOA was born in WWII to counter Nazi lies.

It carried freedom’s message through the Iron Curtain.

But under Obama & Biden, it morphed into an echo chamber for the Left, soft-pedaling China, trashing Trump, and boosting globalism. Image

🚨 BREAKING: Trump just moved to ELIMINATE labor unions at NASA.

The Deep State thought it could hide behind space suits. Now, America’s greatest builder-president is dismantling their bureaucracy—even at the launch pad.

THREAD 🧵 Image
Image
2/ In an Aug. 28 executive order, Trump invoked the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 to strip collective bargaining rights at NASA.

Why? National security.

NASA develops satellites, propulsion systems, and advanced aerospace tech vital to U.S. defense. Image
3/ Over 50% of NASA’s workforce belongs to unions like the IFPTE and AFGE—many of the SAME unions whose members call themselves "the resistance" and sued Trump to keep their privileges.

They’ve strangled innovation, slowed projects, and protected mediocrity for decades. Image

🚨 BREAKING: Bolivia just threw out its socialist rulers after nearly 20 years.

This isn’t just local politics. It’s a massive opening for President Trump — to reclaim a vital country, secure lithium, crush cartels, and push China out of our hemisphere.

THREAD 🧵 Image
2/ On Aug. 17, Bolivians voted the socialist MAS party out.

Why it matters:

🔹 Bolivia has the world’s largest lithium reserves
🔹 It was aligned with China & Venezuela
🔹 It became a narco-state fueling cartels across the Americas

Trump now has the chance to flip it. Image
3/ Lithium = VITAL for anything that needs a battery.

China spent years bribing MAS officials to secure billion-dollar lithium mines.

The U.S.? Blocked by red tape, frozen out of contracts, and forced into “joint ventures” with socialist state firms.

Trump can change that. Image

🚨 A speaker at a Rashida Tlaib-linked pro-Palestinian conference just said this:

👉 “We live in an evil country.”
👉 “We must destroy the idea of America in Americans’ heads.”

And the crowd APPLAUDED. 🧵 Image
Image
2/ This wasn’t a fringe basement meeting.

It was the “People’s Conference for Palestine” in Detroit — featuring multiple extremist speakers, foreign prisoners released in Hamas deals… and sitting Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib. Image
3/ One panelist, Sachin Peddada, didn’t hold back:

🇺🇸 “America is evil.”
🇮🇱 “Israel is a carbon copy of the United States.”
🔥 “We have to dismantle American exceptionalism.”

The crowd erupted in cheers. Image

🚨 CHINA IS DEEP IN AMERICA’S BALLOT BOX 🚨

Beijing isn’t just buying our land. They’re buying our elections.

What’s happening inside the U.S. right now is nothing short of a hostile takeover of our democracy—and most Americans have no idea.

Time to wake up. 🧵 Image
2/ First, the direct attack on our elections:

The FBI had strong evidence in Summer 2020 that China had printed tens or hundreds of thousands of fake mail-in ballots and fake voter IDs.

Chris Wray's team hid the report.

Kash Patel declassified it.

rodmartin.org/p/rod-on-capit…
3/ But equally big is the political infiltration.

Over 50 Chinese-linked organizations have been raising money, endorsing candidates, and illegally electioneering in the U.S.—often under the cover of tax-exempt “nonprofits.”

This is foreign interference, plain and simple. Image
