POLARIS National Security

🚨 Nothing triggers China like the truth. Beijing’s meltdown over Kylian Mbappé calling Mao a “dictator” tells you everything about this regime’s relationship with reality. God forbid anyone criticize the CCP’s so-called “great leader," whose policies killed tens of millions.

🚨 ICYMI: @SenatorBanks calls on the West to ramp up defense collaboration to stop Taiwan from becoming the next Ukraine. "Our enemies are increasingly working together: Shahed drones developed by the Iranians... use jet engines supplied by China...and are deployed by Russia against Ukrainian cities." "The way to counter this new axis of evil is through unprecedented defense industrial collaboration across our Western alliance."

🚨 Putin isn't just relying on foreigners to replenish depleted ranks on the frontlines—they're filling labor shortages on Russia's home front. ⬇️ • EXPANDING RECRUITMENT: In the first nine months of 2026 alone, Ukraine identified contracts signed by 1,449 Colombians, 699 Burundians, 530 Zimbabweans and 503 Peruvians. • HUMAN TRAFFICKING: A UN inquiry found evidence Russian authorities trafficked people from 29 countries into military service through deception and coercion. • FORCED LABOR: South Korean intelligence estimates 50,000+ North Korean laborers are in Russia, where forced labor helps sustain industry and the war economy. From the trenches to the factory floor, Putin's global hunt for manpower exposes the strain on his war machine and Russia's people.

🚨 Facing mounting losses in Ukraine, Putin is scouring the globe for manpower to feed his war machine. Since 2022, Russia has recruited over 61,000 foreign fighters from 151 countries and territories for its war. Some enlist willingly. Others are deceived, coerced or sent by force. Here is the scale of Moscow’s global recruitment. ⬇️

🚨 On 9/11, Americans saw what happens when we let threats grow. President Trump is determined not to let the U.S. make the same mistake again. That means tackling Iran’s nuclear program now before this terror regime can strike.

🚨 @SenDanSullivan has the answer to high gas prices: "produce more Alaskan energy by and for Alaskans." Build the pipelines. Expand production. Cut hostile regimes' leverage. America's energy abundance is a national security asset. Use it.

🚨 The stakes in Iran extend well beyond the Middle East—and China knows it. The CCP is giving Iran diplomatic cover, trying to block U.N. Security Council discussions on the regime's nuclear program. China isn't challenging America one theater at a time. Neither can we.

🚨 Thanks to Trump's campaign, Iran's economic reckoning is coming. The IMF forecasts a 7.6% contraction and 78.6% average inflation this year. Every day of U.S. pressure makes the regime more desperate—and brings it closer to collapse.

🚨 Not only does @AbdulElSayed deny that Israel is a U.S. ally—he refuses to accept its right to exist. Meanwhile, he scorns Trump's Iran campaign while making endless appeals for appeasement. That level of gross misjudgment belongs nowhere near the Senate.

🚨 @SenatorCollins' opponent demands Congress block military funding because he opposes the Iran campaign. What he won't say: that means America surrendering Hormuz back to Iran. The Democrats want to hand Iran control of the Strait and let it resume its energy extortion.

🚨 Nonsense: Josh Turek insists Trump's campaign against Iran is an "endless war" like Iraq and Afghanistan. The only problem? This isn’t a war—and it’s far from endless. We have no boots on the ground and major combat operations ended six months ago. But sure, keep recycling the same tired talking points.

🚨 Iran's still blocking inspectors from verifying its nuclear program. But that hasn't stopped Democrats from pushing a return to Obama-Biden appeasement deals. Waving the white flag is quite the closing pitch.

🚨 Bravo to First Lady @MelaniaTrump for brokering the Oleshky ceasefire, which is holding into its third day with no reported violations. Mines are being cleared to get food and medicine to ~2,000 trapped civilians. A diplomatic achievement—and lifeline for Ukrainians.
