July 8, 2026 | Sundance |

President Trump held a bilateral meeting with NATO General Secretary Mark Rutte earlier today during the NATO Summit in Ankara, Turkey.

WATCH THIS ONE!

During the press availability President Trump noted the Memorandum of Understanding with Iran has been essentially nullified, and the U.S. is responding with 20:1 retaliatory military strike into Iran. Trump noted “they’re scum” when discussing the lies from the Iranian regime.

Moving to NATO, President Trump specifically called out the weak NATO members who stood by and did nothing while Iran was building nuclear threats. President Trump called out France, Germany and the U.K. specifically, with a strong condemnation of Spain for their political interference.

President Trump pulled no punches and further stated that all U.S. trade with Spain should be immediately discontinued as a consequence of their interference and lack of support for security goals and objectives. WATCH:

Must Watch, Trump doesn’t mince words, and I think he put all NATO members on the right track if they will ever listen. Rutte knows Trump is serious, all the others should be now.

Another NATO member runs out of weapons for Ukraine

Bulgaria has exhausted its stockpiles, PM Radev has said, a day after the Netherlands said it had reached its limit

Published 8 Jul, 2026 12:11

Bulgaria is unable to provide any more weapons and military equipment to Ukraine, Prime Minister Rumen Radev has said, reaffirming his government’s decision to halt further arms deliveries to Kiev.

Speaking on the sidelines of the NATO summit in Ankara, Türkiye, on Wednesday, Radev said Bulgaria would continue supporting Ukraine financially “within its capabilities, without affecting social spending,”while ruling out further deliveries from the country’s military stockpiles.

“We have exhausted our ability to provide military support. I mean weapons and ammunition from the warehouses of the Bulgarian Armed Forces.We provided 13 packages; we don’t have anything else to supply to Ukraine,” Radev told reporters. He added that Sofia could still offer technical assistance by repairing military equipment.

Radev was not the only NATO leader to acknowledge limits on military aid. Dutch Defense Minister Dilan Yesilgoz-Zegerius said on Tuesday the Netherlands had also reached the limit of what it could provide directly from its own military stockpiles.

We don’t have opportunities any more as the Netherlands because we have done so much… We are at our limit,” she told Bloomberg when asked about supplying additional Patriot systems.

The comments contrasted with Vladimir Zelensky’s appeals at the Ankara summit for NATO members to provide more air defense systems and interceptor missiles.

Radev’s remarks reaffirm a policy announced last month by Defense Minister Dimitar Stoyanov, who saidBulgaria would stop supplying weapons because the conflict could not be resolved on the battlefield.

Under the previous government, Bulgaria became one of Kiev’s largest suppliers of Soviet-standard weapons and ammunition. According to officials, Bulgarian shells accounted for roughly one-third of the ammunition used by Ukraine during the first year of the conflict.

Radev, whose Progressive Bulgaria party won the parliamentary election in April, has long opposed Brussels’ approach to the Ukraine conflict. As president between 2022 and 2025,he criticized sanctions on Russian energy, blocked a proposal to send Bulgarian armored vehicles to Kiev, and repeatedly called for a negotiated settlement.

Moscow has repeatedly condemned Western military aid to Kiev, arguing that it prolongs the fighting without changing the eventual outcome while reducing the chances of a negotiated settlement.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday that Zelensky could end the conflict with Russia in a single day by ordering Ukrainian troops to withdraw from Donbass.

Ukraine attacks Russian oil tankers

Kiev is trying to cut fuel and power supplies to Crimea through drone strikes

Published 8 Jul, 2026 07:

Ukrainian kamikaze drones struck two oil tankers in a major overnight attack on Rostov Region, Russia, Governor Yury Slyusar said on Wednesday.

The vessels were hit in Taganrog Bay while heading east toward Rostov-on-Don, the governor reported. Two people sustained minor injuries, and the crew of one of the tankers had to be evacuated. Slyusar said Russian air defenses intercepted around 70 Ukrainian drones over the region during the night.

Ukraine’s drone forces commander, Robert Brovdi, claimed that Kiev attacked eight tankers, not two, in the Sea of Azov. He said the strikes were intended to disrupt gasoline deliveries to Crimea.

Ukrainian forces have intensified attacks aimed at undermining daily life on the Russian peninsula, in what Vladimir Zelensky has described as an effort to turn Crimea into an “island.” The campaign has focused on triggering power outages and fuel shortages.

According to Slyusar, the tankers were empty when they were hit, and no oil was spilled as a result of the attack.

Zelensky has argued that strikes on Russian energy infrastructure could alter the balance in Kiev’s conflict with Moscow, and has sought additional Western funding to expand the campaign.

Ukraine has repeatedly targeted vessels it accuses of transporting Russian oil, including ships operating in international waters, while claiming that commercial tankers can be treated as legitimate military targets.

Some tankers have been attacked for merely using the Russian port of Novorossiysk to transport oil producedin Kazakhstan and exported by an international consortium through Russian territory. Astana filed a formal protest following a strike last November.

CNN Suddenly Very Worried About Israel During Trump Visit to Turkey

July 7, 2026 | Sundance |

CNN Narrative Engineer Dana Bash clutches her pearls in worryabout a potentially weakened position for Israel against the backdrop of President Trump visiting Turkey and structuring diplomatic relations with Recep Erdogan.

It seems quite odd to see CNN have great concerns about the well-being of Israel given their leading role as critics against the actions of Israel. Then again, CNN has the art of pretending down pat.The transparency is laughable. WATCH:

I’ve seen 3 videos of Bibi in the last couple of days, his new inserted talking point for Israel:Israel is the one and only Jewish State, he’s trying to program how important Israel is, but it’s the arrogance in which he says it, that’s annoying

Zelensky’s speed is wearing off you can see how uncomfortable it is for it to wear off at the meeting. He’s jerking his head and body around. He also doesn’t like not being the center of attention.

He’s made it known for years, he hates Trump and he’s stuck there not being able to talk
