Emphasizing the need for President Trump and President Putin to come together and cut the gordian knot, Secretary of State Marco Rubio holds a press conference from Turkey explaining the background situation. WATCH:
.
The talks between Ukraine and Russia on the neutral turf of Turkey turned into a geopolitical game of theatrics and narrative competition following the announcement that Vladimir Putin would not attend.
NATO Secretary Mark Rutte traveling to Turkey (a posturing participant) is yet another indication of the stupidity of it all. Ukraine is not a NATO country and the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, while it may be grounded in the origin of NATO encroachment, does not involve NATO unless you inject the ancillary issues into the equation. All of this extraneous party posturing shows the reason why Russian President Putin did not attend.
After a meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in Ankara, Zelenskyy chose to leave for home announcing he would send a delegation as the Russian group sat waiting for their peers to arrive. The back-and-forth between the two nations played out all day without any substantive negotiations or discussions. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Steve Witkoff and Keith Kellogg sat around in a holding pattern waiting to see if the two sides would eventually have representatives in place to talk to each other.
Making a statement from Air Force One, President Trump seemed to encapsulate the dynamic saying he did not think any progress was likely until he personally met with Russian President Vladimir Putin. “Look, nothing is gonna happen until Putin and I get together,” Trump told reporters on board Air Force One en route to the United Arab Emirates. “And he wasn’t gonna go … He wasn’t going if I wasn’t there. And I don’t believe anything will happen, whether you like it or not, until he and I get together. But we are gonna have to get it solved because too many people are dying.”
Later this afternoon Secretary of State Marco Rubio seemed to confirm that a Putin/Trump meeting was going to be needed to break the stalemate.
It is absolutely not accidental that President Trump delivers a speech at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, the USA’s largest military base in the middle east, with a backdrop of an MQ-9B Reaper Drone on stage.
Hours earlier President Trump signed a deal for Qatar to purchase new MQ-9B drones. The U.S. gave initial approval for that purchase in March. However, not a single pundit or military expert can explain exactly why the nation state of Qatar would need Reaper Drones. The USA operates the base providing support and protection for Qatar and the region (Qatar pays for it). Qatar is not in conflict with any other nation state; they are not at war, and they do not conduct military engagements. So, why does Qatar need the drones?
The unfortunate Occam’s Razor answer is that Qatar doesn’t technically use the drones, instead what the drone delivery represents is a carveout to supply the CIA with military-grade hardware for use in alternate engagements; likely engagements that are never technically ‘on the record.’ President Trump is ¹equipping the CIA.
¹There is factual and documented evidence of how these transactions take place. Indeed, the entire Benghazi, Libya, boondoggle around the unofficial “consulate” office of former Ambassador Chris Stephens, the CIA Annext located nearby and all of the activity therein, was directly and specifically an effort by the CIA under the guise of the State Dept., to retrieve surface to air missiles given to al-Qaeda (AQIM) in Libya that were being used to shoot at U.S. military helicopters in the region. The Benghazi ‘coverup’ was all about hiding this reality from the American people.
The State Dept (CIA) used Qatar as a carveout to purchase shoulder-fired missiles, that were then distributed by the CIA to “the Libyan rebels” (Leon Panetta and Hillary Clinton operation). However, those same CIA missiles were later used against American troops. The CIA was repurchasing those weapons to get them out of the hands of al-Qaeda, that’s what the Annex was for. AQIM didn’t like it, so they attacked both the consulate and the annex. That was the reason for the Benghazi coverup operation {GO DEEP}.
The drones will not be used by the nation of Qatar, nor do they have the support systems, targeting, satellite communications etc. to use them. No, these drones will be launched and operated by USA elements, specifically the CIA – not the Qataris.
So, when the question is asked, who exactly is the Qatar purchase of MQ-9B Reaper Drones intended to benefit, the unfortunate answer is our superseding fourth branch of government; in whatever capacity they alone deem worthy.
As the Washington DC U.S. Attorney, Ed Martin was in position to address the known and documented activity of a variety of former DOJ officials. There’s a strong argument to be made that’s the reason why the DOJ’s corrupt allies in congress moved to eliminate the threat Martin represented. However, their collective result didn’t remove him, nor did it change the objective, it just changed Mr Martin’s title.
Washington DC USAO Ed Martin carried the authority of the Attorney General, in the changed dynamic special appointee ADAG Ed Martin now carries the authority of the President of the United States to investigate a weaponized DOJ/FBI apparatus. It became a serendipitous outcome.
In this episode of Tucker Carlson the former Fox News host interviews the head of the newly formed ‘weaponization working group’ Ed Martin. Within the interview Martin outlines the mysterious motives of the FBI handling of the J6 “pipe bomber” case, alleging that basic investigative steps were overlooked. “They didn’t interview some of the people that you would have said, ‘That might be a suspect.’ They hadn’t interviewed him,” he said. Raising concerns about the agency’s competence, he added, “The question becomes, ‘what’s happening here?’ Is it incompetence? It feels worse than incompetence.”
When asked by Carlson whether the DOJ is worse than people believe, Martin went further, declaring, “I think it’s worse than incompetence.” “The only way forward is not to describe what I think of the motives but to expose over and over again what’s happened. If you expose what happened and the truth gets out, then accountability is possible.” Martin then described the issues facing the DOJ as “much, much worse than people think.” WATCH:

Dealmaker and Peacemaker. President Trump participates in a signing ceremony with the emir of Qatar. Their mutual friendship was on full display as they signed several agreements.
The first agreement was an “agreement of buying aircraft from Boeing,” which was signed by Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg for the United States. There were no additional details disclosed; however, President Trump later touted it as Qatar’s largest order in Boeing jet history and congratulated Kelly.
Next, each country’s defense secretary signed a number of agreements between Qatar and the United States, one of which was a deal for Qatar to purchase new MQ-9B drones. The U.S. gave initial approval for that purchase in March (let’s hope those drones don’t end up in Ukraine flying into Moscow). Lastly, the president and emir signed a joint declaration of cooperation between Qatar and the U.S. WATCH:
After the signing ceremony, President Trump remarked that it had been an “interesting couple of hours” in which they discussed the Russia-Ukraine war and Iran, expressing gratitude for Qatar’s “great help.” President Trump is hopeful the meeting between Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Vladimir Putin in Turkey will result in a ceasefire. President Trump has dispatched Secretary of State Marco Rubio, along with emissaries Steven Witkoff and Keith Kellogg to play good cop-bad cop.
President Trump meets with Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al Thani in Doha, Qatar.
For many deep weed researchers and geopolitical followers, Qatar remains an ¹enigma. However, notice the linguistics, the English-speaking pattern of Emir al Thani. This is a man who speaks fluent ‘American’, spends a great deal of time around Americans and is completely comfortable expressing the speech patterns of his familiarity. MUST WATCH:
¹The only perspective that reconciles all of the perplexing dynamics that surround Qatar:
Departing Saudi Arabia, President Trump holds a press briefing aboard Air Force One while on route to Qatar the second stop in the trip.
President Trump was asked about his meeting with Syria’s President Ahmad al-Sharaa. Trump told reporters he found the country’s new leader to be “very good,” adding that he’s a “young, attractive guy.” “He’s got a real shot at pulling it together. I spoke with President Erdogan, who I’m very friendly with. He feels he’s got a shot of doing a good job. It’s a torn-up country,” Trump added.
President Trump said that he thought that Syria would join the Abraham Accords after Syria “gets themselves straightened out,” but he added that the nation has “a lot of work to do.” When asked whether he’d consulted Israel before lifting the sanctions on Syria, President Trump said his administration simply told Israel they would do it. “The reason I did it is because I spoke with the President Erdogan and I spoke to Mohammed, as you know, and they thought it was very important to do, it gives … them a much better chance of survival as a country,” Trump said. WATCH:
President Trump also said that Russia President Putin wanted Trump to attend the talks in Turkey, though Trump remained noncommittal on attending, citing his schedule and foreign trip obligations. “He would like me to be there, and that’s a possibility. If we could end the war, I’d be thinking about that,” Trump said.
Just two-months ago, Ahmad al-Sharaa remained designated as an al-Qaeda terrorist by the United States Government, there was a $10 million-dollar bounty on his head. Yesterday, as Syria’s interim President, Ammad al-Sharaa shook hands with President Donald Trump in Saudi Arabia.
President Donald Trump continues to navigate the world threading a message of peace and trying to stop conflict through economic negotiations.
While emphasizing peace and prosperity within a complicated geopolitical world built upon conflict, President Trump continues to cut through the political gordian knots that enmesh global interests in war. To say this is a stunning effort would be an understatement.
Optimal solutions are not complex but witnessing them is often difficult to reconcile against historic memory and traditional patterns.

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) — U.S. President Donald Trump met with interim Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa in Saudi Arabia on Wednesday, the first encounter between the two nations’ leaders in 25 years and one that could mark a turning point for Syria as it struggles to emerge from decades of international isolation.

This Deep State cleanout move is coordinated by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe.
News is coming out about DNI Tulsi Gabbard taking the National Intelligence Council out of the CIA silo, and removing the two heads of the agency, Chairman Mike Collins (friend of Mike Morrell) and Deputy Chair Maria Langan-Riekhof. Both officials were conducting intelligence operations on behalf of the Lawfare aligned Intel Community.
WASHINGTON DC – Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has fired the top officials leading the National Intelligence Council – whom whistleblowers describe as “radically opposed to Trump” — and has moved the agency to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, or ODNI, to ensure she can block any “politicization of intelligence,” Fox News Digital has learned.
Gabbard fired Mike Collins, who was serving as the acting chair of the National Intelligence Council, and his deputy, Maria Langan-Riekhof, Tuesday, senior intelligence officials told Fox News Digital.
Fox News Digital reached out Langan-Riekhof for comment and did not immediately hear back, and couldn’t immediately find contact information for Collins.
