The Revolutionary Guard is calling the shots in Iran. Whatever the civilians are saying means very little when the IRGC is in charge. If we are going to see regime change in Iran, we need to eliminate the IRGC.

Trump and Vance have declared themselves to be on Russia's side in the Russo-Ukraine war. This is a catastrophic mistake for America's national security. And let's be clear: Trump and Vance now personally own that policy. It is not the view of a majority of Americans of either or no political party.

Yesterday was a disaster for American national security. Trump has divorced himself from the foundations of American foreign policy. Putin isn't intimidated by the U.S.. He's not coming to the negotiating table because he doesn't have to, Trump is giving him everything he wants.

Ronald Reagan must be turning over in his grave that an American president says he "trusts" the Kremlin.

It is a huge embarrassment that Trump has effectively switched sides in the Russo-Ukraine war, joining Russia. The U.S. has aligned itself not with our allies in NATO, but with the longstanding, principal threat to NATO: Moscow. It's unthinkable that an American president would do this.

Putin scored a major victory over the U.S., NATO, and Ukraine this week, which is why Putin did not negotiate with Biden or Zelensky. He waited to negotiate with Trump because he believed the Kremlin would get more out of a Trump deal. And he was absolutely right.

Trump has said many times that he thinks if he has a good relationship with a foreign head of state then the U.S. has good relations with that country. Personal relationships are important, but when dealing with someone cold-blooded as Putin, one must be more discerning.

It's despicable to stop sharing intelligence with Ukraine, and it embodies how Trump does business: it's all personal. He thinks Putin is his friend and he's never liked Zelensky, not since the famous "perfect phone call" in 2019.

It will be a blow to Trump's credibility if the United States does nothing in Iran. He drew red lines and the regime crossed them.

It's very clear that Donald Trump's sympathies are with the Russians. The idea that Ukraine started the war is total nonsense. Putin continues to ignore Trump and treat him like an easy mark.

We absolutely have every right to go after the infrastructure in Iran, which is obviously being used by the IRGC. The words “civilian infrastructure” are not talismanic.

Trump has made it clear. This is a regime change mission. But you don't achieve regime change by replacing Khamenei with another ayatollah. In order for regime change to happen, the entire structure of the ayatollahs and the Revolutionary Guard must be swept away.

The only way to deal with the Iranian regime’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz is to force the Strait open. Military force in the Strait is the only way to re-establish deterrence. The regime does not get to turn international waters on and off like a light switch.

The US must stop the flow of Iranian oil onto the world market. Allowing any Iranian oil to leave the Strait was a mistake. Waiving sanctions on Iranian oil was a mistake. Why are we financing the Iranian regime's military campaign against our service members?

Putin knows he pushed Trump too far. To win him back, he's going to talk about issues outside the scope of the Russo-Ukraine War. This could include potential U.S. investments or negotiations on a successor to follow the New Start treaty, expiring in 2026.

It's a big mistake for the Trump administration to insist that Ukraine agree to a ceasefire. Ceasefire lines will likely become the new Russia-Ukraine border, giving Russia exactly what they started this war for: Ukrainian territory.
