Putin Claims The West Is Not Hiding Its War Plans

Hemorrhaging The Country to Death: Pentagon Asks Congress for $80 Billion More for the Iran War
The Iran war, a devastating 15-week conflict that ended with an electronic peace deal in June 2026, has already exacted a staggering financial toll on the United States. According to the Iran War Cost Tracker, the direct taxpayer burden stands at $113.3 billion, with Moody’s Analytics estimating total costs to taxpayers and consumers at $132 billion. Yet this figure may be only the beginning: Harvard economist Linda Bilmes projects long-term expenses, including veterans’ care, interest on debt, and broader economic ripple effects, could soar past $1 trillion.
The Sixth Republic?
The French, after all, openly acknowledge that their political order has undergone multiple transformations. The current French regime is known as the Fifth Republic, reflecting a succession of constitutional and political systems stretching back to the Revolution of 1789.

None Of The Most Important Issues Have Been Resolved By The Memorandum Of Understanding
Why is there so much excitement about an agreement with Iran that literally resolves none of the key issues that the two sides were fighting about? The long-term status of the Strait of Hormuz is not resolved. The war between Israel and Hezbollah is not resolved. Nobody seems to have any idea where the 300 billion dollar “investment fund” for Iran is going to come from, and none of the nuclear issues that this war was supposedly about in the first place have been resolved either. So what in the world did the “Memorandum of Understanding” actually accomplish?

Israel Continues Its Attacks On Lebanon Despite MoU Signing by Trump
As if to say to the United States that it has no control over Israel whatsoever, West Jerusalem is continuing to pound Lebanon. The strikes come in spite of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed by Donald Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has not signed the MoU.
U.S. Oil Stockpiles Fall To Critically Low Levels As Iran Continues To Mess With The Strait Of Hormuz

How are shipowners and insurance companies supposed to feel comfortable while this is going on?
