Nima Rostami Alkhorshid:

1. What is the significance of Trump’s reported discussions with Zelensky about attacking Moscow?
2. How does Trump’s approach to Ukraine differ from previous administrations?
3. What role do European allies play in escalating the conflict with Russia?
4. What are the implications of secondary sanctions on countries like China and India?
5. How does Azerbaijan factor into the broader geopolitical conflict involving Russia and Iran?

John Helmer:

1. Trump’s reported discussions with Zelensky indicate a potential escalation, but his inconsistent statements and mental capacity raise doubts about U.S. strategy.
2. Trump’s approach mirrors Biden’s in arming Ukraine but adds unpredictability, with threats of direct attacks on Russia and transactional diplomacy.
3. European allies, particularly Germany, are being pressured to fund and supply weapons, effectively acting as intermediaries for U.S. military support to Ukraine.
4. Secondary sanctions on China and India aim to cut off Russia’s oil revenue, but these measures are unlikely to succeed due to strong economic ties.
5. Azerbaijan’s strategic location and tensions with Russia and Iran make it a focal point for external powers like Israel, Turkey, and the U.S., threatening regional stability.

Nima Rostami Alkhorshid:

1. What is happening in Syria, particularly in the region of Sweda?
2. What role do Turkey and Qatar play in the current situation in Syria?
3. How does the Druze population in the Golan Heights interact with events in Syria?
4. What does Israel aim to achieve in the region, especially regarding Syria?
5. What is the significance of Netanyahu’s recent visit to the United States?

Laith Marouf:

1. In Syria, particularly in Sweda, there is ongoing conflict involving attacks by HTS and other groups, with Israel appearing to film some events. The Druze population in the region remains resilient and refuses to collaborate with Israel.
2. Turkey and Qatar, through Al Jazeera, appear to be portraying the Druze population in a negative light and are indirectly supporting HTS, which collaborates with Israel despite previous claims of opposing it.
3. The Druze in the Golan Heights, though under Israeli control, maintain strong Syrian identity and have actively resisted Israeli influence, with some even entering Syria to support their kin in Sweda.
4. Israel aims to destabilize Syria by exploiting sectarian divisions and creating excuses for intervention. The Druze resistance in Sweda is seen as a threat to these plans.
5. Netanyahu’s visit to the U.S. focused on securing support, particularly regarding the Epstein investigation and potential military actions. However, the U.S. has limited options without risking global conflict, so Israel may resort to more sectarian and terrorist tactics in the region.

1. What is your perspective on the recent developments in U.S.-Russia relations following Trump's ultimatum?
2. How do you interpret the internal divisions within MAGA and their implications for Trump's foreign policy?
3. Can you analyze the potential consequences of Germany acquiring long-range missiles for the Ukraine conflict?
4. How might the ongoing conflict in Gaza affect regional stability and international diplomacy?
5. What are your thoughts on the recent polls indicating increased support for the Iranian government despite external pressures?

1. The recent developments in U.S.-Russia relations reflect a complex interplay of domestic politics and international strategy, with Trump's ultimatum likely aimed at appeasing his base rather than achieving concrete diplomatic outcomes.
2. The internal divisions within MAGA highlight the challenges Trump faces in maintaining cohesion among his supporters, especially as key figures like Tucker Carlson challenge the narrative, which could undermine his foreign policy initiatives.
3. Germany acquiring long-range missiles could escalate tensions in the Ukraine conflict, potentially provoking a stronger response from Russia and complicating diplomatic efforts to de-escalate the situation.
4. The ongoing conflict in Gaza risks further destabilizing the region, exacerbating humanitarian crises, and straining international relations, particularly as global public opinion increasingly turns against Israel's actions.
5. The recent polls suggesting increased support for the Iranian government may reflect a rally-around-the-flag effect in response to external pressures, but they may not fully capture the complexities of internal dissent and economic challenges faced by the regime.

Nima Rostami Alkhorshid:

1. What is the current public sentiment in Iran following the Israeli attack, and how has it affected national unity?
2. How did Netanyahu’s visit to the U.S. impact his domestic political position amid growing challenges?
3. What are your thoughts on Trump’s handling of Ukraine aid and its implications for regional stability?
4. Do you think mainstream Western media is successfully creating divisions between Iran and Russia?
5. How prepared is Iran’s military to respond to potential future attacks from Israel?

Mohammad Marandi:

1. Iranian public sentiment has shifted dramatically toward national unity, pride, religiosity, and support for the government and armed forces after the Israeli attack. Polls show a significant rise in internal cohesion and belief in victory.
2. Netanyahu is facing serious domestic issues after losing the war against Iran. His prolonged stay in the U.S. reflects desperation, especially with rising global condemnation and internal instability in Israel.
3. Trump’s administration continues to fund wars in Ukraine and for Israel, but resources are not infinite. The intensification of these conflicts weakens the West and strengthens alliances like Iran-Russia-China.
4. Western media attempts to divide Iran and Russia by spreading false reports, but both countries reject such narratives. These efforts aim to weaken BRICS and anti-imperialist alliances.
5. Iran is preparing for future threats by strengthening its air defense systems and improving offensive capabilities. It knows Israel’s tactics and will strike harder if attacked again.

Nima Rostami Alkhorshid:

1. What is your assessment of Trump’s ultimatum to Russia and its implications?
2. How do you interpret Germany’s push for long-range Typhoon missiles and its impact on Russia?
3. What are your thoughts on Zelensky's role in the Ukraine conflict and his refusal to negotiate?
4. How do you evaluate reports about Trump urging Ukraine to strike deep into Russian territory?
5. What is your view on Tim Weiner’s narrative regarding CIA involvement in Ukraine?

Scott Ritter:

1. Trump’s ultimatum is meaningless posturing; Russia has dismissed it outright, showing Trump lacks geopolitical leverage.
2. Germany’s pursuit of Typhoon missiles is reckless and dangerous; Russia will respond decisively if threatened.
3. Zelensky is a puppet controlled by external forces; he lacks legitimacy and autonomy in decision-making.
4. Reports of Trump urging strikes on Russia are likely fabricated; such actions would provoke catastrophic consequences.
5. Tim Weiner’s account is propaganda favoring the CIA; his narrative is biased and untrustworthy.

Nima Rostami Alkhorshid:

1. Is Azerbaijan on the path of becoming like Georgia or something different?
2. How does Azerbaijan connect to regional geopolitics through the north-south corridor between Iran and Russia?
3. What role is China playing in shaping the region, particularly involving Azerbaijan?
4. Why has Azerbaijan suddenly become more prominent in regional discussions?
5. What are the implications of recent military interactions, such as the conflict between Iran and Israel using Azerbaijani territory?

Lasha Kasradze:

1. It's not necessarily Azerbaijan but Armenia that may end up in a position similar to Georgia in 2008 due to geopolitical shifts.
2. Azerbaijan plays a key role in the north-south corridor connecting Iran and Russia, enhancing its geoeconomic importance.
3. China watches carefully and supports Russia indirectly, avoiding direct confrontation while pursuing its own regional interests.
4. Azerbaijan has gained prominence due to its victory over Armenia in Nagorno-Karabakh and strengthened alliances with Turkey and the West.
5. Recent military actions highlight Azerbaijan’s growing strategic value to external powers, though it still avoids directly challenging Russia.

Nima Rostami Alkhorshid:

1. What was the significance of Donald Trump’s recent announcement regarding Ukraine and Europe?
2. How do you interpret Trump’s claim that European countries, especially Germany, are enthusiastic about supporting Ukraine?
3. Do you believe European nations are genuinely committed to funding weapons for Ukraine, or is there a hidden agenda?
4. Could Trump’s policies on Ukraine potentially harm his support base in the U.S., particularly among MAGA supporters?
5. Is Europe preparing for escalation in the Ukraine conflict, and how effective will their military buildup be against Russia?

Larry Johnson:

1. Trump’s announcement is largely symbolic and lacks substance—referred to as a “nothing burger.” It seems aimed at political posturing rather than real policy change.
2. The idea that European leaders are genuinely enthusiastic is questionable. Larry suggests they may not be able to afford these commitments and might rely on frozen Russian assets to fund them.
3. European commitments are likely verbal and lack financial viability. There may be behind-the-scenes strategies to use seized Russian funds, but actual payments remain unlikely.
4. Trump has already damaged his credibility, especially with MAGA supporters, due to issues like the Epstein case and inconsistent foreign policy messaging.
5. Europe’s military buildup is unrealistic and driven more by political motives than strategic planning. Russia currently holds a clear military advantage in several key areas.

Nima Rostami Alkhorshid:

1. What is your interpretation of Trump’s stance on U.S. involvement in the Ukraine war?
2. How do you see the impact of Trump’s proposed 100% tariffs on global trade dynamics?
3. What role do you think Netanyahu played during his meetings with Trump?
4. How credible do you find the idea that Trump might be influenced by powerful interest groups?
5. What are your thoughts on the potential consequences of withholding the Epstein client list?

Paul Craig Roberts:

1. Trump is not ending the war but shifting financial responsibility to Europe, ensuring military profits continue.
2. Tariffs have no real impact on Russia but will anger other nations and accelerate de-dollarization.
3. Netanyahu may have pressured Trump to suppress Epstein-related files that could expose high-level connections.
4. The "deep state" and corporate interests clearly constrain Trump, neutralizing many of his promises within months.
5. Withholding the Epstein files protects powerful elites, undermines trust in government, and reveals systemic corruption.
