The Institute is monitoring the situation of Russia sending drones into Poland, in particular last night’s episode of Russia deliberately sending at least 19 drones into Poland’s airspace. We rate last night’s development as extremely serious, requiring a strong U.S. response.

I think President Trump has already decided to attack Iran, with support from other nations. He is not waiting to the last second to decide, but only waiting until all the military assets are in place.

The UK aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth has reportedly transited the Suez Canal.
Iran & Israel trade missiles. Suddenly, HMS Queen Elizabeth sails through the Suez. Coincidence? Doubt it. The UK's biggest warship isn’t sightseeing, it's sending a message. The West is getting closer to the fire.
