Col. @jonsweet.bsky.social, U.S. Army (ret.) took the lead in penning our INTREP360 Intelligence Report for 10.06.2026. No Mr. Trump, he argues, Ukraine is not responsible for rising U.S. diesel prices. Nor will a business deal end this war. We will be back tonight. Link below.

Nary a word from POTUS on what Putin & Russia are blowing up in Ukraine — e.g., maternity wards, children’s hospitals, universities, theaters, cultural sites, bridges, etc. But sure, let’s blame Zelensky & Ukraine. No sale.

Mark Toth @marktoth.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
American farmers are not winning in the long run if the U.S. buys potash from Belarus - a Russian-sponsored dictatorship - versus doing business with Canada, a fellow democracy. Not to mention Lukashenko’s role in Putin’s illegal war in Ukraine that is driving up diesel prices.

Our INTREP360 Intelligence Report for 09.18.2026 is live. Today, @jonsweet.bsky.social & I feel like Siskel & Ebert of old as we review a movie we’ve seen one too many times before. Iran, like us, already knows the ending to Trump’s latest version. Link below.

Does anyone believe that Russia is going to keep this agreement? If so, DM me. I’ve got some swampland to sell you.

Mark Toth @marktoth.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
POTUS is proving yet again he is clueless when it comes to (a) acting as a commander-in-chief during war time and (b) is even more clueless when it comes to winning wars. The real quagmire isn’t in Iran or Ukraine. It is in the Oval Office.

Mark Toth @marktoth.bsky.social · 08/09/2026
ICYMI, yesterday on @tvpworld.bsky.social, I said this call would be pointless unless Trump told Putin that his special military operation in Ukraine is failing. Yet Ushakov, Putin’s chief foreign policy aide, said Putin told Trump that Russia is winning. TVP link below.

Mark Toth @marktoth.bsky.social · 07/09/2026
Always honored to be on @tvpworld.bsky.social. Tonight’s segment was hosted by Ayşe Abacı. We discussed Witkoff & Kushner’s trips to Moscow & Kyiv and I didn’t hold back. I said unless Trump tells Putin he is losing in Ukraine, these talks will not go anywhere but sideways. Link below.

Mark Toth @marktoth.bsky.social · 06/09/2026
Sending Kushner to Moscow is like sending a lamb to the slaughter. He has no clue whatsoever how geopolitics work. It’s not business. It’s a competition on multiple levels of which business is only one factor of many. Kushner & Witkoff’s naïveté is stunning.
131
Mark Toth @marktoth.bsky.social · 06/09/2026
The delusion, if not desperation, runs deep in Moscow. And that’s just Witkoff & Kushner. Putin & Ushakov are even more delusional & desperate.

While taking the lead for us in our INTREP360 Intelligence Report for 09.02.2026, @jonsweet.bsky.social channeled his inner Seinfeld assessing that Iran’s reaction to Trump’s latest threats is essentially ‘Yada, Yada, Yada.’ Rinsing & repeating is a recipe for a stalemate. Link below.

In our latest Thursday 7 AM ET national security column at @thehill.com, Col. @jonsweet.bsky.social, U.S. Army (ret.) & I warn the White House that in Iran they are unwisely following in the footsteps of Lyndon Johnson’s failed Operation Rolling Thunder in Vietnam. Link below.

Retaliation alone. Has never won a war. What’s POTUS’ plan to win this one? Especially since Iran is not going to capitulate.

In our INTREP360 Intelligence Report for 08.31.2026, Col. @jonsweet.bsky.social, U.S. Army (ret.) took the lead for us in setting up what was behind today’s renewed CENTCOM attacks on Iran that are still underway as I post this. Link below.

Mark Toth @marktoth.bsky.social · 01/09/2026
Earlier today, on Alqahera News Tv, when asked, I stated I believed the U.S. would escalate kinetic attacks on the IRGC as messaging. CENTCOM just announced they are doing just that.

Mark Toth @marktoth.bsky.social · 31/08/2026
Crazy times. POTUS, at times, sees the Iran war as a video game, while Tehran fights back with LEGO block clips. Not clear if this is a threat or a guarantee. I suspect the former.
