“A public ambassador for Putinism, right at the core of U.S. intelligence”

The Kremlin’s Favorite. How Tulsi Gabbard Brought Putin’s Playbook into U.S. Intelligence
The video lasted just 57 seconds. The Golden Gate Bridge in flames. A radioactive skyline over San Francisco. Tulsi Gabbard, staring directly into the camera:
“We are closer to nuclear annihilation than ever before. The war-mongering political elite have bunkers. You don’t.”
This was not a Russian propaganda clip. It was a public message from the Director of National Intelligence of the United States.
Tulsi Gabbard, once a progressive anti-war Democrat, has become a frontline soldier in a very different battle—one that blurs the line between strategic independence and strategic sabotage.
The Russian state didn’t hesitate to celebrate. Following her appointment, state broadcaster Rossiya-1 proclaimed her “our girl.” Star propagandist Vladimir Solovyov beamed: “The CIA and FBI are trembling.”
Not without cause. Gabbard has been echoing Kremlin narratives for years. In 2022, she accused the Biden administration of funding biolabs in Ukraine that could “unleash deadly pathogens.” Senator Mitt Romney slammed it as “treasonous lies.” Former CIA Director Leon Panetta put it bluntly: “She lacks the instinct for national security.”
So how did Gabbard get here?
One key figure is Mikki Willis, the man behind Plandemic—a viral film pushing anti-vaccine conspiracies. In a Wired interview, Willis described their bond:
“We red-pilled each other. She told me after the film dropped that she’d finally woken up.”
Since then, the two have collaborated on documentaries about immigration, funded by hard-right donors, while Willis gained access to Trumpworld and Mar-a-Lago. He now promotes Gabbard as the “voice of post-illusion America.”
But there’s a deeper layer. Gabbard grew up under the influence of the Science of Identity Foundation (SIF)—a shadowy spiritual group led by Chris Butler, often described as cult-like. In 2017, her campaign paid a PR firm to scrub online links between her, SIF, and its financial backers in the QI Group, a Hong Kong-based company accused of pyramid schemes across Asia.
By early 2025, Gabbard reported over $1.2 million in personal income—from Fox News, speeches at the Heritage Foundation, and her own media companies (Tulsi Media LLC, TOA Studios). Her communication empire now promotes ideas like: Zelensky is dragging America into WWIII, NATO must be demilitarized, and U.S. disinformation units should be dismantled—positions that align neatly with the Kremlin’s strategic aims.
As The Sunday Times’ Dominic Lawson wrote:
“She isn’t a secret Russian agent. That would almost be reassuring. She’s something worse: a public ambassador for Putinism, right at the core of U.S. intelligence.”
Tulsi Gabbard doesn’t need a handler. She already speaks their language—fluently, on the record, and in office.

A World Where Everyone Lies
Jokers mediating nuclear wars
Imagine a world where the President of the United States proposes Vladimir Putin — the man responsible for the bloodiest conflict in Europe since WWII — as a mediator between Israel and Iran.
No need to imagine. It just happened.
On June 15, 2025, Donald Trump said:
“Yes, I’d be open to that. He’s ready. He called me about it. We talked about it at length. I believe it will be resolved.”
Putin as a peace broker. Sounds like a bad joke.
But no one’s laughing — except him. And maybe Trump. And a few generals with nuclear access.
The rest of the world stays silent. Or pretends this is all business as usual.
Meanwhile, the Middle East is on fire. Israel strikes Iranian nuclear sites and kills scientists.
Iran responds with rocket attacks on Tel Aviv.
Both sides are one step away from all-out war.
And Trump?
Claims the U.S. is not involved. But maybe will be.
“We’re not involved in that. We might get involved. But right now, we’re not.”
This is the language of someone who hasn’t shown his card — but is already counting chips.
Then, on Truth Social, Trump posted:
“Iran and Israel should make a deal — and they will, just like I forced India and Pakistan to make a deal. Soon we will have PEACE between Israel and Iran!”
That’s not a joke. That’s our reality. A man who brags about forcing nuclear powers into deals is now offering the reins to Russia — a country waging a genocidal war in Ukraine, armed with Iranian Shahed drones used to hit cities, hospitals, and power plants.
On June 13, Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry reminded the world:
“The Iranian regime supports Russia in its illegal war of aggression against Ukraine and supplies weapons used to kill Ukrainians.”
And what is the West’s response?
Pretend it’s diplomacy. How long?

When Rationality Goes Missing Trump’s suggestion on June 15, 2025—that Vladimir Putin, engaged in a genocidal war against Ukraine, could mediate between nuclear-armed Israel and Iran—is more than absurd. It’s deeply dangerous.

1 – A man who massacres civilians in Ukraine as mediator for Middle East peace? Putin is weaponizing Iranian drones against Ukrainian cities. Entrusting him with nuclear diplomacy is not statecraft—it’s reckless. The vocabulary of “I’m not involved… yet” reveals a brinkmanship mindset where reality is secondary to personal poker games.

2 – Claiming he “forced” India and Pakistan into peace is also false. These are fragile, decades-long diplomatic efforts—not Trump’s success stories. The claim is self-aggrandizing myth-making, not grounded facts.

3 – What India, Pakistan, Iran, Israel, Ukraine, and the world need is accountability and real multilateral diplomacy, not a reality TV-style power play with existential stakes.

The Stakes Are Real

  • Iran openly supports Russia’s genocide in Ukraine, supplying drones that kill civilians and collapse cities.
  • Israel is retaliating against Iranian nuclear sites. Each strike escalates the risk of global nuclear confrontation.

Trump’s approach isn’t peace—it’s gambling with the lives of millions, geopolitical stability, and nuclear deterrence frameworks.

What Must Be Done:


– Putin is not a trustworthy mediator. He is an active participant in a bloody, genocidal war in Ukraine. Allowing him to interfere in the Middle East is accepting that war criminals can lead peace processes.
– Trump is not the solution. He promotes authoritarian leaders, disrespects democratic institutions, and treats nuclear tensions like a reality show. His instability is a global threat.
– The international community must react. Serious diplomacy must return, led by credible mediators such as the UN, the EU, or respected neutral countries.
– The West must stand firm. Pretending that Trump and Putin act within the bounds of normal diplomacy is dangerously complicit. Silence equals complicity.

– Civil society must mobilize. The danger grows when we normalize the absurd. We need clarity, responsibility, and active pressure on legitimate democratic leadership.
This isn’t fiction. It’s an era-defining moment where one person’s whims risk dragging the world toward nuclear brinkmanship.

Final Take
We need serious, collective, professional foreign policy—not presidential stunts. Trust must be restored in sober, democratic leadership—else we gamble with everything.

Heartbreaking 💔🖤 news!
Ukrainian actor Yuriy Felipenko died at the front – known to viewers for his roles in TV series and films: “Promise to God”, “Native”, “Sniffer”, “Cop from the Past” and others. The tragic news was reported by his wife – Kateryna Motrych. With the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Yuriy voluntarily joined the BPAK battalion “Achilles” of the 92nd separate assault battalion, performing combat missions on the front line.
He was not only a talented actor, but also a true Hero who, without hesitation, stood up for the defense of Ukraine.

Ukrainian heroes continue to die on the battlefield and Ukrainian children die from attacks upon their homes PRIMARILY because of ORDERS from a coward who rules Russia, who continues to murder.

And they continue to die, SECONDARILY, because of the INACTION of an historical coward who sits in power and comfort in the West, who not only refuses to put an end to the aggression of the demon of the East but also gives him undying praise.

And, if that were not enough, the coward of the West apparently celebrates these atrocities with a military parade ordered for his own ego and upon his personal birthday (as done by so many dictators) while continuing to charge that Ukraine should not have defied the invading Russian military… in their own defense. There is nothing more SHAMEFUL than every action of the SHAMELESS.

Curt Christian : NAME & SHAME HIM! Trump (aka Agent Krasnov) but better known as the Orange🤡 is the one you are referring to.
Shame also on the rabid followers.
