Sovereign Debt Crisis May Start in Middle East – Martin Armstrong

By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com (Saturday Night Post)

Legendary financial and geopolitical cycle analyst Martin Armstrong warned in May “Iran Bombs UAE to Trigger Financial Meltdown.”  Then, about two weeks ago, there was a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the US and Iran, and everyone thought the war and the crisis was on its way to being over.  Oil fell below $70 a barrel, and it looked like everything was going to be worked out with a 60-day ceasefire.  Now, it looks like everything could fall apart with attacks from Iran, counter-attacks from the US and the back and forth continues.  Can the MOU that has dropped the price of oil survive this?  Martin Armstrong says, “Iran is not stupid.  What is happening is when we had Covid, oil went down to $6.50 (per barrel).  It was below production costs.  The governments borrowed extensively to stay alive.  All that debt is still there.  So, the sovereign debt crisis may start in the Middle East.  People are completely blindsided because they think that in the Middle East, they are just flush with money–Not True.  Now, they are like everybody else with debt up to their chin.  Iran is intelligent.  They are not Venezuela.  They are attacking the Gulf State refineries and the whole Strait of Hormuz.  They know that’s not impacting the United States.  The US is basically self-sufficient.  It impacts Asia, and it impacts Europe, but what else does it do?  It prevents the Gulf States from selling oil.  If they cannot sell oil, they default on their loans.  If they default on their loans, you get a banking crisis, which goes straight to London.  This is much more complicated than people think.  Trump understands this is much bigger than just Hormuz and the price of oil.”

Armstrong goes on to say, “There is going to be no peace deal in Iran. . .. We have a conflict of interests.  Trump is trying to get out because he has the midterms, but Netanyahu is going to run again, and he needs a victory–which to me is impossible.  His opposition in Israel is pounding him saying we got nothing out of this. . .. If Netanyahu agrees to peace, he basically loses the election.  The polls are saying he has 61% of Israelis against him.”  So, don’t look for peace with Iran for the rest of this year going into 2027, according to Armstrong.

So, what’s going to happen with gold and oil, which have had big corrections?  Armstrong predicts, “The Middle East is a mess, and oil is going to take off again after a July low.  Gold may be bottoming this week. . .. Then, it will be heading up through August.”

Armstrong still sees the Democrat Party breaking up just as he predicted in December of 2024.  For proof this is happening now, look no further than Dem loyalist James Carville’s recent comments.  Armstrong is still predicting Europe goes to war with Russia and loses.  Why go to war?  Because of huge economic problems.  Armstrong says, “They want war. . .. look for things to heat up between Ukraine and Russia because Zelensky has been given the green light to escalate it.”

      it’s sad that the majority of the population still have no understanding of how our system actually works.
      everyone still chasing and arguing and pointing out the symptoms.
      never once addressing the actual cause.

      it’s they always win, and you always lose.

    • Dirt Rider 🇺🇸

      Ed Dowd is recently on YouTube saying the economy is in serious trouble,,, I agree 100% ,,,, it’s locking up,,, If we have gas shortages and high gas prices it will be catastrophic for the economy,,,,,,,,I think Trump is distracted with the wrong adventures right now,,,,,Everyone I know is cutting back on expenditures including me,,, just food $ gas right now,,,,,Greg,,, maybe you can get Ed back on soon to share more with us!!!
      I notice the auto dealer lots are plugged up with vehicles that aren’t selling,,,?????????? A lot could be bad engines and repo’s ???? Just reading GM trucks had the wrong sizing crankshafts in the 6.2 along with other defects and all manufactures have issues with engines and transmissions,,,,, often failing before hitting 5000 miles,,GM is supposedly coming out with new engine line up for 2027,,, now they need to scrap all of the Ai 🤖 junk and spy cameras and sensors and make their trucks affordable again,,,( my opinion),,,,,( we only need a backup camera ),,,,,,,,Everyone is complaining and trying to find older trucks to buy,,, me included ,,,,

        • Dirt Rider 🇺🇸

          Yes I know,,, there seems to be a more sense of urgency to his latest interview last week,,,, I think things are accelerating for the worst since you last interviewed him ???,,, Maybe you can ask him,, check in with him,,,,, I am seeing it at the local level,,,,,, It seems we are like Lake Powell,,, close to dead pool economically ,,,, and the war has been reignited in the ME,,,,,, So that means stocks up ⬆️ tomorrow and oil and gold prices down,,,, 1/2 the planet could be destroyed and that fake stupid stock market casino would go up,,,,,

        • Dirt Rider 🇺🇸

          Look up the Golden Yuan,,, it’s an offshore payment system to bypass the US dollar oil trade,,, That’s why we are curtailing Russian and Iranian oil output with proxy war and sanctions and oil refining out put from Russia and Iran,,, Both nations have rejected the us petrodollar and the MOA was that Iran would get sanctions relief but they have now rejected all of that not trusting the USA ,,,,,, This oil destruction could backfire causing oil shortages even in America,,,, America should get back to a sound fiscal run country and bring back manufacturing and trade ,,,, this bullying the world with the military isn’t working and will make our situation worse ( my opinion),, Everyone research the Golden Yuan,,, it’s not a gold back currency but a trading platform backed by gold to bypass the US dollar,,,, This is what’s going on in the ME & oil attacks inside Russia ,,

    • dirt rider 7🇺🇸

      Correction,,,,that story about the US Mint liberty bell coin was done by Michelle Makori Miles Franklin Media on YouTube,,$19,600 for 1 each 1 ounce coin while gold trades for approx $4000,,,Its also posted on the US MINTS website ,,,That is insane,,,,,The girls at ITM Trading might have mentioned it also,,,but Michelle Makori is the segment I watched,,,,,,,,,Only people that work for .gov can afford $20,000 an ounce gold,,,………………………Vehicle prices will be doubling also soon when oil prices go sky high,,,,,most are made of 90% plastic and plastic comes from oil,,,,,😂 I read also with gold prices being elevated a lot of Gold Producers have reduced leverage with some reporting zero debt,,,,Agincourt Gold zero debt and 2.3 billion in liquidity,,, Vault Mines,,reports zero debt and 703 million in cash and bullion q3 2025,,,Golconda Gold,,,zero debt and net cash position,,,Newmont Mining and Barrick Gold hold net cash positions to name just a few,,,,,,also Franco-Nevada corp,,,debt free $3.4 billion in available capital and Wheaton Precious Metals is maintaining a net cash balance,,,,,,and gold prices can only go up from here unless we totally collapse and go Mad Max,,,,,,,,Bill H might know more where we are heading???? I haven’t heard anything new from him lately,,he always recommended investing in mining stocks,,,,I missed the boat on that one,,,,,Those miners will be raising prices to the US Mint when they catch wind of $20k an ounce gold being sold there ,,,…………..(just my thoughts ). …………………….Thanks again Martin and Greg,,good info !!!!!!

      ABRAHAM ACCORDS EXPANDED – US WILL CONTROL STRAIT of HORMUZ

      After spending 4 1/2 hours with Trump last week Lindsey Graham stated:

      “Let’s try a diplomatic solution,” Graham said, “[but] I think it’s going to fail.”
      He then asked “What happens next?” Graham answered his own question by saying that he believes that Trump will “take the Strait of Hormuz over by force.”

      The U.S. “will control the Strait of Hormuz, we’ll charge a fee for all those who go through to pay for the operation, and we’re going to expand the Abraham Accords” to include Saudi Arabia by the end of 2026, Graham continued.

      “And if Iran contests control of the Strait of Hormuz by the United States, we will obliterate them,” Graham added.

      • Emmett Pierce

        Thank you Edward, I don’t trust Lindsey Graham. In my humble opinion; We have entering a period I call the latter days. where the potential for major shifts in power, conflicts, and hostile actions between nations that disrupt global relations, economies, and security. Disagreements over access to critical natural resources, vital shipping chokepoints (like the Strait of Hormuz or the Panama Canal even), and trade routes increase the risk of militarization and blockades. debt problems across Europe, and international capital flight continue funneling money into the United States. That will support both the U.S. dollar and financial markets of course, for a time even while interest rates remain elevated.
        It is believed that Habakkuk, an Old Testament prophet and skilled poet who lived in the Kingdom of Judah in the late 600s BC, just before the Babylonian exile. Habakkuk is famously remembered for the verse, “the righteous shall live by his faith” (Habakkuk 2:4). This concept is so central that the Apostle Paul quotes it multiple times in the New Testament (e.g., Romans 1:17 and Galatians 3:11) to define Christian faith. Despite the impending doom of his nation, Habakkuk concludes his book by affirming that he will choose to rejoice in God even if his world crumbles (Habakkuk 3:17-19). I believe we are entering a period such as Habakkuk saw. Habakkuk 1
        The burden which Habakkuk the prophet did see.”; O Lord, how long shall I cry,
and thou wilt not hear!
even cry out unto thee of violence, and thou wilt not save! Why dost thou shew me iniquity, and cause me to behold grievance? for spoiling and violence are before me: and there are that raise up strife and contention. Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth… However, Gods answer gave Habakkuk courage and faith in the actions of the Almighty God;
        Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation. The Lord God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds’ feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places.

        Be strong the Kingdom of God awaits us.

        • Alex

          Mr. Graham will have to explain his warmongering and other misdeeds to the Almighty since he passed away. He was a good friend of the late Senator John McCain, another warmonger, who failed America terribly. Years ago, before he ran for president, we had lunch with the Senator and Mrs. McCain before a football game in LA. My guest was a former Navy commander and naval aviator. We agreed that the Senator never saw a war he didn’t like! Very sad.

    Just my opinion,,,,, If this Iran war continues and oil prices skyrocket or we have fuel shortages ,,,, there is no way Republicans will win mid-terms ,,, and if the Dims take both houses they will try and impeach Trump and we will all have to suffer with that gong show,,, Hopefully Trump will just pull out of the mid east and bring our junk home and let everything settle down,,,, time is of the essence,,,,,,,Somehow boost the economy because it’s like the economy has fallen into quicksand,,,,, it’s locking up,,,
    I will expound more in the future on the Chinese Jellyfish 🪼 drone used to take out the F15 in Iran,,, it’s basically a super computer ,,, We are headed to whoever has the smartest Ai will rule the world,,, this is coming down to Ai vs Ai similar to spy vs spy cartoon back in the day

      DR7,
      Look at this supposed “Plasma Weapon” that the Aliens supposedly gave to Iran, it doesn’t look like a Plasma Weapon to me (as I would envision a Plasma Weapon to be some sort of a BEAM WEAPON “more like a Laser”) – I see “Something Spinning” as it approaches and Destroys the Target? What do you think of this??? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pp1YtivGfM
      Wonder if Martin Armstrong’s Socrates Computer “Takes Aliens Into Account” when it makes its predictions and forecasts???

        Actually,
        Instead of some projectile being fired “It looks like the Iranians have a “Spinning Lightening Bolt” type weapon!! I’ve seen “Ball Lightening” after a thunder storm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmOfwFHBu_o but it usually just floats in the air for awhile before discharging!!

      • Katy Bar

        This Alien Disclosure Thing is “Now Getting a Bit Weird”!!
        In Greek History they talked about a God named Zeus (God of Honor and Justice) who Wielded Lightening Bolts?

        Katy ,,,, it’s from China,,,,🇨🇳 There are no space aliens 👽,,,,,,…… I am hoping to see a picture of it,🪼,,,,, I will explain more down the road,,,,,,it is basically a bunch of sensors and super computer that overloads the planes computing system allowing ground fired missiles to hit the plane without the plane knowing what’s going on like with the F15 ,,
        It’s advanced electronic warfare……. China is advancing while we destroy the world economy poking the dog in the beehive in Iran,,,,,China is educating their populace while the schools in 🇺🇸 teach gender assignment,,, blue and pink and orange hair and to suck off the welfare system,,, I just read an article people going to college can’t do basic math or read very good,,,,,,

      • Dirt Rider 🇺🇸🪼🇺🇸👽

        Katy there are no space aliens,,,👽 The jellyfish 🪼 drone is from China 🇨🇳,,,,It’s basically a super computer with sensors that hang down that overrides the planes computing system allowing ground fired missiles to take the aircraft out like with the F15,,,,,,China is advancing and educating their populace while we continue to dumb kids down with gender assignment and I read the other day people going to college can’t do math or read and write very good,,,,,,, So while we destroy the world economy in the ME China is advancing and is more advanced military than we are,,, The military is relying on Ai 🤖 for war planning because they can’t figure it out,,,, We are like a fish out of water,,,,,, The technology advancements will have military Ai 🤖 vs military Ai,,,, and whoever has the best system will rule the world soon,,,,, We won’t have gas at the pumps soon so we won’t be advancing ,,, starvation and Mad Max is our future,,,it’s collapsing right in front of us,,,,

  6. Linda M

    Greg, I always enjoy Martin’s interviews. I’m always hopeful that he will have some good news for us. I suppose that regardless of the Iran war continuing, the Midterm election should keep Republicans in the majority. Surely, the Democrats will not want Communism. The government will own everything, if we become a Communist country. They will even take people’s homes
    Even Democrats are not that stupid. However, there are a lot of stupid people in New York. No police, no borders …. Truly stupid. The universities have indoctrinated students to be stupid. It is my understanding that many professors are Communists. That needs to stop. Get them out of our universities. Those idiots being indoctrinated will be in charge of our country.. In any event, it was nice to see Martin. Linda

      Daniella Avila Chevalier (Communist hater) won the NY Dist.13 primary, and backed by the Mayor Mandani. She is predicted to win.
      That woman hates America. She claims our country was stolen. If we are so horrible, why doesn’t she move her butt back to the Dominican Republic? No doubt if she was deported, she would be kicking and screaming.
      That Communist wants to abolish the police. our borders, ICE, everything that makes it possible for that disgusting wretch to have her freedom.. That woman will be a US Congressman, and hook up with those other troublemakers — Talib, AOC, and the woman who married her brother to sneak into America. Mayor Mandani supports her. He hates America, also. Our Immigration Department has done a bad job of screening who is allowed into America! Obviously, people like Mandani and that Chevalier woman should not be in America. We would not have those haters in public office if their parents had never been allowed in. Regardless of what you think of President Trump, he loves America. Linda

      Claude’s Mythos AI. so unbelievably powerful they decided not to release it to the public until some major tech companies can run it and find out what it’s capable of…
      truly eye opening how fast “Ai” is outpacing itself.

  7. Really Awake

    It was both a huge tactical and strategic blunder to attack Iran. American resources would have been better utilized elsewhere, e.g., right here inside the USA. What happened to kicking out all of the tens of millions of illegal invaders? How about kicking out all of the Mohammedans right over here inside the USA before spending a hundred billion dollars over there on the other side of the world?

    One thing this mess has proven once again is that a big expensive military with battle ships and expensive jet planes can’t beat a country whose army is dug in and unwilling to give up.

    Iran’s tens of thousands of cheap drones and missiles which are hidden deep inside granite mountains are a new type of guerilla warfare that is even better than the one waged against America by the North Vietnamese. Are we learning, yet?

    Americans are going to have to relearn the lesson of the Lion and the Porcupine…. America the Lion can bite and scratch and clqw and wound Iran the Porcupine, but the porcupine quills will stick in the American Lion’s mouth and paws and get infected. The Lion can then get very sick and even die…. right along with the entire world economy…. the entire world economy has now got Iranian Porcupine quills stuck in it.

    Read Robert McNamara’s book, “In Retrospect”. Learn why McNamara was awarded “The Albert Einstein Peace Prize” for his work on avoiding nuclear war.

    Nuclear war is what all of these conflicts in Ukraine, Iran and soon to be Taiwan are leading up to….. and let’s not forget North Korea.

    I liked the old Trump. You can keep the new Trump and his insider trading family who makes Nancy Pelosi and her husband look like rank amateurs.

    I want to see Trump’s sons (and daughters) in military uniforms and on their way over to fight over there with U.S. forces.

  9. Don Doerr Sr.

    One might conclude that Iran supports the Communist Democrat-RINO Party and will thus continue to stall the peace with Trump to hurt the Republicans in the Midterm Elections.
    Iran probably does not want peace. A country that offers its male citizens 72 virgins as a heavenly reward is clearly not in tune with Constitutional America or Christian thinking.
    Ironically, Europe, Canada, and America are opening their borders and their hearts to Islam, a trend that appears to even have the blessings of Pope Leo who consubstantially seems comfortable with sodomy in as much as he has paraded it at the Vatican.
    This is not the world – or the Church – that most of us remember.

    I still expect peace to come, in spite of V Zelenski and Netanyahu. My timing has been off. I expected things to unfold quicker. Between oil and the mid east, the vote will be much better managed and the economic results so fa are encouraging. Trump will manage the voter fraud by his authority as commander & chief to protect voting, can assign resources to watch over the process like their national guard available to him. The issues are the voting machines and mail in ballots, even though there are other ways to cheat. There are still far too many non citizens that need to be removed, and economic fraud against government programs intended for Americans to deal with. I am happy to see the far left nut jobs are being pushed aside by the more conservative Democrats, but in the end the party will fail just as is expected.

    Of gold & silver it’s definitely a hold for the time when the value will rise as the switch comes to sound money. Everyone seems convinced it’s a great idea to participate in the replacement system of sound money that uses quantum technology. Sound money anyone can agree with. The quantum FS in the larger picture is a death trap due to the dangers of the coming mark. Death by steps of acceptance by the public, to use neuralink. With acceptance the public can be lured into confidence to the point of mixing tech into the banking, yet sound money alone doesn’t need a quantum system that tracks everything because you can’t print gold or silver to back fake paper. There has to be paper for autonomy and for the economy to continue in times when technologies will fail, and fail it will, if not by interference in the grid, then certainly by a pole shift that will happen and isn’t a maybe. The next window is April 4th 2029. Then 2036.
    The next step is getting the public comfortable using the neuralink, and later a government that would willingly use CBDC’s. Being so detached from scripture in general, the public still needs to be educated about the danger coming from tech involved in the financial system.

    Great interview gentlemen

    Trump is screwed because he filled his cabinet with psychopaths who support the insanity in Ukraine & Israel until he replaces these people nothing will change.

    Greg I have to laugh about the voter fraud when I find out my congressional representative does not live in my state ( Michigan) he lives in Louisiana . There is no way I will be voting for a fraud like him in November.

    After being flooded with END TIME CRISIS , , , it serves as job security for news industry , , but for those like USA WATCHDOG , , that wants to VERIFY THE TRUTH , , , the job is now MORE HOURS without OVERTIME
    I always appreciate your ending reminder that the days will be shortened for the elect , , but I would like to add that it does not the first time in Scripture that the wrath of God on HIS people has shortened days . BUT it also raises the question –> are they less than 12 hour days or are they less amount of days of wrath ??
    ” 2Sam24:15. So the LORD sent a pestilence upon Israel from the morning to the time appointed: and there died of the people from Dan even to Beersheba seventy thousand men.
    16 And when the angel stretched out his hand upon Jerusalem to destroy it, the LORD repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed the people, It is enough: stay now thine hand. And the angel of the LORD was by the threshing place of Araunah the Jebusite.”
    so we have an example of 3 day wrath SHORTENED to one day
    We must always keep in mind that whether EVIL upon all men comes from SATAN HIMSELF or is caused by men he rules that sit in HIGH PLACES –> GOD will protect WHOM HE WILL PROTECT , , and will take the lives of WHOM HE WILL TAKE (MANY TAKEN early will REJOICE early) , , , but as vers 13 below says –> WE MUST ENDURE UNTIL THE END

    Matt24 :3. And as Jesus sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying,
    Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the SIGN of thy COMING, and of the END of the WORLD?
    4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
    5 For many shall come in my name, ( SPIRIT OF ANTICHRIST ) saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
    6 And ye shall hear of WARS and RUMORS of WARS: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
    7 For NATION shall rise AGAINST NATION, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be FAMINES, and PESTILENCE, and EARTHQUAKES, in divers places.
    8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
    9 Then ( PERSECUTION ) they shall deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake. ( ANTISEMITISM , , and hatred against Jesus and His FATHER , and HIS SPIRIT )
    10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
    11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
    12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of but many shall wax cold.
    13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. ( KEEP the FAITH)

    CIA Analyst Larry Johnson: US and Iran Back at War! What Happens Next? LIVE 🔴 Cyrus Janssen Streamed live 3 hours ago Live Shows
    Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson joins Let’s Talk Geopolitics to break down the latest U.S. military strikes on Iran and explain why this conflict is far from over. While many politicians and media outlets are talking about de-escalation, Larry argues that the recent attacks are only the beginning of a much larger geopolitical confrontation.
    In this livestream, we discuss what the latest U.S. strikes actually accomplished, how Iran is likely to respond, the growing risk of a wider regional war, and why the next phase of this conflict could reshape the balance of power across the Middle East. We also examine the roles of Israel, China, Russia, and the broader implications for global energy markets, the U.S. economy, and the future of American foreign policy.

    “Iran Doesn’t Need to Fire Missiles. The U.S. and Israel Still Fear This Weapon” | Mohammad Marandi TCC YT 15,744 views Premiered 4 hours ago
    “Iran Doesn’t Need to Fire Missiles. The U.S. and Israel Still Fear This Weapon” |
    This breaking news analysis features *Mohammad Marandi* as he explains why the ongoing U.S.-Iran confrontation extends far beyond military strikes. Marandi argues that the real battle is centered on political influence, regional security, and control of the **Strait of Hormuz**, one of the world’s most strategic energy corridors.
    According to Marandi, the United States has failed to uphold key commitments, while Israel continues military operations in Lebanon despite previous understandings. He claims that these actions have reinforced Iran’s belief that Washington cannot be trusted to honor agreements. Rather than seeking direct military escalation, Marandi says Iran is using economic and strategic pressure to protect its national interests and strengthen its regional position.
    A major focus of the discussion is the importance of the **Strait of Hormuz**. Marandi explains that Iran does not need to close the waterway completely to influence global markets. Instead, the mere ability to affect shipping routes and oil exports gives Tehran significant leverage over international energy prices and Western governments. He argues that this strategic advantage is more powerful than launching additional missile attacks.
    The interview also examines the broader consequences of the policies associated with **Donald Trump**, including rising tensions between the United States and Iran, increasing uncertainty across the Middle East, and growing concerns about another regional conflict. Marandi believes the current situation demonstrates that economic pressure, maritime security, and geopolitical influence have become just as important as conventional military operations.
    For viewers following breaking news on Iran, the Strait of Hormuz, U.S. foreign policy, Middle East security, and the evolving U.S.-Iran conflict, this interview offers a detailed perspective on why regional tensions continue to shape global politics and international energy markets. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIjy3JcdT7s

    Over the four plus years NATO gradually has increased its direct role attacks
    against Russia. Now, initially they were minor then growing and Russia seemed to make the decision that it was better to absorb the pain and rather focus on just defeating this Ukrainian proxy, through this war of attrition. And now it seems Russia has painted itself into a corner as certain things appear to have happened. That NATO’s attacks are no longer just miniscule pinpricks. That long range drones and missiles are now well supplied by the west and also well targeted. Picked by the west and of course western satellites directing the attacks and not just civilian targets any longer. Closing a possible civilian tit for tat targeting nightmare for political figures branded as war crime figures!
    NATO countries as a result are no longer deterred blowing up oil refining facilities even despite Trumps declaration that NATO’s cutting off the hand that feeds them with cheap oil especially in times such as these, with Iran doing the same and less than two weeks before the US. oil reserve shuts down before lack of oill causes the facilities to come crashing down upon itself. Because of the loss of support from to low of oil to support the cavernous walls. There seems to be a very firm belief that they can strike Russia with impunity and anyone who disagrees are seen as someone who’s coming to Russia’s aid and defense and has to be well purged from polite discourse, shamed in polite circles. Unlike the common folk or riff raff that long for the days of cheap energy and prosperity, who embrace such talk! So this creates a very dangerous position for Russia that it must escalate in a big way otherwise the attacks will only increase in intensity, and NATO will become even more brazen and convinced that Russia would never dare to respond. Hence the Europeans can talk openly about going to war with Russia with much fanfare and pomp and circumstance, without any consequences?
    Many are wondering and speculating how Russia responds out of the corner it finds itself in. Possibly with an attack on western drone facilities with a twenty-minute warning before a precise Oreshnik missile launch to destroy such facilities.

    Just wanted to check in and let y’all know how I’m doing. Remember when Gold was $5300+ and I was screaming at the top of my lungs to short it? Well, I shorted it with every last penny I could find – Cha-ching! I’m at the Moorings Marina in Tortola relaxing in the Bertram 61. I’m half way through a bottle of Château Pétrus, Pomerol 2010. I’ll be here for another five days if anyone wants to visit. The name of my Yacht is “King Dollar”, you can’t miss it. 🙂

      Stan,
      Remember when gold was $1,200 and you were shorting it? Remember when gold was $2,000 and you were shorting it? Remember when gold was $2,800 and you were shorting it? remember when gold was $3,500 and you were shorting it? You get my point?

      Safe passage there Stan, but thinking should things turn a tad like many see out ahead, ya might consider changing the name to something a bit less flaunting. just say’n. Of course, I likely wouldn’t be driving a Bentley thru town when food riots break out either. Maybe ya could check out one of Mike Maloney’s real estate lots he is setting up?

    Trump hasn’t pulled the US out of Ukraine at all. Trump has been escalating the war in Ukraine. The US supplies the satellites, the targeting, the drones, the ammunition, and the money. Ukraine would not be able to send the drones into Russia without Trump’s approval.

  24. Mimi

    Armstrong was right— GO ON FOR AWHILE! No peace in the Middle East. But why is the media/news is advertising RUBIO as the next US President when RUBIO IS SABOTAGING WITH TRUMP’s ADMINISTRATION… I don’t trust Rubio to do anything good for the American people because Rubio is there for Rubio first and his Hispanic’s, not American’s interest. RUBIO IS a JUDAS Goat.

    Yes, the same media/news controlled by the commies, calling illegals “immigrants” and who shamed the anti-vas people.

    MUPPET MarkWayne Mullin has SAID publicly in the media that he talks to RUBIO regarding ICE deportation, but has provided little evidence of deporting over 1 million out of the 23 million those from CENTRAL and SOUTH AMERICAS, especially the ILLEGALS from MEXICO.

    Russia Unleashes Hellfire On Zelensky’s ELITE FORCE; Wipes Out Ukrainian Commando Center, Drone Hub Times Of India Jun 29, 2026
    Moscow claimed it destroyed a Ukrainian Special Operations training center and a storage facility housing sea drones. Russia’s Defense Ministry released video showing powerful explosions and burning buildings following what it described as high-precision strikes using Geran drones. The attack comes as fighting intensifies across the front line and both Russia and Ukraine expand long-range drone operations. Moscow says the strike targeted military infrastructure linked to attacks on Russian assets, while the broader conflict continues to escalate with no immediate signs of de-escalation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIHDD-YwXHM

    ‘Zelensky Won’t Survive In…’: Russia DECLARES Mega Kyiv Ground Invasion?
    ‘No Mercy, No Compromise’ Times Of India Jun 29, 2026 Russian President Vladimir Putin declared that Moscow rejected a proposal from Ukraine that would have limited military operations to the territories of the Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions. The Russian leader claimed the proposal would have allowed Ukrainian forces to withdraw troops from other frontline areas, including Kharkiv, Sumy, Dnipro and Mykolaiv, and redeploy them to reinforce those four regions. He argued that such a move would help address what he described as Ukraine’s shortage of military personnel and said supporting the Ukrainian government was “not part of Russia’s plans.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QeVBUxQ_TEg

    John Mearsheimer: Russia’s Warning to Europe Just Changed Everything

    Could the Ukraine war be approaching its most dangerous phase yet?
    In this in-depth geopolitical analysis, John Mearsheimer argues that the West’s growing support for Ukraine’s long-range drone campaign is increasing the risk of a direct confrontation between Russia and Europe. He challenges the popular narrative that Ukraine has turned the tide on the battlefield, insisting that Russia continues to make steady gains while preparing possible responses to continued escalation.
    The discussion explores Russia’s red lines, NATO’s strategy, Europe’s military buildup, President Trump’s evolving position on Ukraine, Marco Rubio’s diplomacy, and why Mearsheimer believes the danger of a wider European war—and even nuclear escalation—is growing.

    U.S. Senator Exposes The MASSIVE COVERUP Behind COVID!
    w/ Ron Johnson The Jimmy Dore Show Jun 29, 2026
    Jimmy talks to Senator Ron Johnson about his investigation into COVID-19 vaccine safety monitoring, focusing on claims that federal health agencies used flawed statistical methods that obscured potential vaccine adverse-event signals. Johnson argues that FDA officials, including former vaccine regulator Peter Marks, were warned that their monitoring system could miss safety concerns but continued using it while publicly stating that no significant safety signals had been detected.

    The discussion also covers the scourge of regulatory capture, pharmaceutical industry influence over media and health agencies, and criticism of how mainstream news organizations covered vaccine-related injuries and scientific debate during the pandemic. The two further discuss mRNA vaccine technology, adverse-event reporting systems, informed consent, and congressional hearings featuring doctors and researchers who questioned official public-health narratives.

    If Martin really is in contact with the White House and advising Truth behind the scenes, Trump obviously isn’t listening to a damn thing Martin is saying!

    Also, you guys can’t simultaneously claim that the Democrat Party is on the verge of collapse while also claiming they’re going to be able to cheat enough to weasel their way into power. You especially can’t claim this after Republicans just swept the most recent elections in 2024.

    • Greg Hunter

      Tammy,
      He said it was 50/50 in his last Socrates data run.
      Greg

      • Tammy Lynn

        A political party that is 50/50 competitive isn’t “on the verge of collapse”, as Martin keeps insisting the Dems are. If memory serves, I believe he’s now been saying this for 4-5 years.

        His 50/50 projection was also calculated before Trump really started destroying his own 2nd term Presidency—the Iran war, in particular, has been a devastating to his popularity and poll numbers.

        The dominant Democratic Socialist showing in NY is an indication that Independents and Young Voters have lost patience with and abandoned Trump/MAGA. I think November is looking pretty bad for the Trump-led GOP.

        • Greg Hunter

          Tammy,
          Do you think there is no cheating in the elections? Why does Harvard PHD Jerome Corsi say there is no way the Dems can win squat if they cannot cheat. NY is an indication of crazy and not America.

    I have more friends selling their jewelry and having some kind of surgery. I am beginning to think that the Replacement theory is no longer a theory with the illegals not being mandated for the clot shots; the media/news promoting the illegal aliens as ‘victims;” the rampant nepotism in businesses, schools, and institutions regardless of lack of qualification, esp. with English fluency. Moreover, Spanish being an option.

    My friends have told me that they are being ripped off for simple maintenance jobs, medical bills, and business transactions. Why wouldn’t the American society feel empowered to be criminal minded seeing that those who entered criminally into the country are rewarded housing, food, schooling, healthcare, and jobs?

    The moral consequence is exactly in line with the economic status.

    DHS is twisting the numbers by reporting the deportees who entered legally as ILLEGAL and protecting those who entered ILLEGALLY (esp. via Mexico) because DHS also has been taken over by them.

    There is no coincidence that these White Hispanic REPLACEMENTS are part of the ECONOMIC destruction as well as the clot shot agenda.

    Isaiah 13:11 The Caucasoid men in the USA are like the Chauvinist pigs who they supposedly are against, but are breeding with or fornicating! These Caucasoid male are certainly not of the same gene pool as the WW1 generation and neither are the Caucasoid women.

    It remains a mystery to me how one can identify a threat and know that it entered the solar system around 2004, since it has no signature in the known electromagnetic spectrum and no mass. But the activity you predicted certainly seems to be occurring before our eyes.

    TRUMP’S FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE JUST DROPPED…AND IT’S WORSE THAN YOU THOUGHT.

    The U.S. Office of Government Ethics released Donald Trump’s 927-page financial disclosure today. Here’s what a sitting U.S. President made in 2025:

    💰 $635 MILLION from the TRUMP memecoin, while retail investors watched it crash from $74 to $1.68

    💰 $594 MILLION from World Liberty Financial token and stablecoin sales, a crypto venture co-founded with his own sons

    💰 $65 MILLION from selling equity in that same company

    💰 $80+ MILLION in media settlements from ABC, CBS, Meta, and YouTube, paid to his own presidential library

    Total crypto haul: over $1.4 BILLION. In one year. While serving as President of the United States.

    His net worth has nearly TRIPLED, from $2.4 billion to $6.3 billion, since taking office.

    • Greg Hunter

      Kay,
      I don’t like it that President Trump is in the Crypto business. Theses assets are in a blind trust, and he had them BEFORE taking office. That said, I am not here offer you a platform for you to give your Trump hating Psyop to affect midterm voters.

  36. John Jauregui

    Greg,

    Most Americans do not know that many of the targets hit in Russia were/are destroyed by NATO i.e. British, French, German and American missiles, operated by NATO member technicians with targeting data from NATO member satellite data. Russia has every right under international rules of war to strike back at the NATO member origins of these missiles, personnel and military satellites. This is NATO members individually and together sleep walking into WWIII which will eventually escalate into first tactical, then theater and finally strategic nuclear war. Are you ready for that? Russia does not want to occupy sovereign debt ridden, “clown world” NATO countries and their clueless, purple haired, entitled and arrogant citizenry. They want to protect ethnic Russians which make up most of eastern Ukraine. NATO agreed to the Minsk Agreements which guaranteed the people of these eastern areas could vote to secede from Ukraine like Albertans seceding from eastern Canada. Both Ukraine and NATO reneged on these agreements. That’s why you and your extended family members might get drafted into this evolving conflagration as things go sideways. They always do. Always. No exceptions. Best get psychologically prepared for that existential reality.
