Neocons Are Still in Charge in DC

QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong, is the US in the hands of the Neocons all over again? Trump’s threats against countries buying Russian oil seem to violate international law, and Congress’s imposition of 500% tariffs for noncompliance with Trump’s demand appears to be fulfilling your computer forecast. Would you comment on this 500% tariffs bill?

Sanctions

ANSWER: The two Neocons Senators who belong in prison for hate crimes in any other country, Lindsey Graham (R‑SC) and Richard Blumenthal (D‑CT), who introduced this bill for a sweeping 500% tariff on countries buying Russian oil/gas. This bill has not yet passed. Unfortunately, this is a measure gaining significant support. This is the Sanctioning Russia Act of 2025, which would authorize such steep tariffs on countries that continue buying Russian energy products. It has 84 co-sponsors, and it indeed proposes a 500% tariff on goods imported from countries purchasing Russian oil, gas, uranium, or petrochemicals—even if those goods are otherwise unrelated. President Trump has publicly endorsed the bill, while retaining a waiver provision—meaning he could choose whether to apply or exempt countries if the bill is passed.

Cheney Elizabeth Lynne

This is yet another nail in the coffin of destroying Western Civilization. As I explained, sanctions are always the tool of the Neocons that makes them feel powerful and all warm and fuzzy inside. As I mentioned, they imposed sanctions on Cuba in 1960, as Castro was a horrible communist leader. Well, he dies, and the sanctions are still there to this day. I am sure Trump’s 180-degree turn is transforming him into an economic dictator threatening the world economically, which is putting a big grin on Liz Cheney’s face.

Trump is now following the Neocon Rule Book. Threaten your opponent, call him hateful names, and do not talk to ensure there will be no possibility of peace. I am shocked at Trump’s 180 turn. He may think he can intimidate Putin, but he is DEAD WRONG! Worst yet, imposing sanctions on Russia is one thing. Now, threatening actions against anyone who buys energy or used shoes from Russia can be sanctioned up to the proposed 500%.

BRICS Currency

The sanctions of removing Russia from the SWIFT system were a red flag to the world. The US is becoming a dictator to the world. If you do not comply with the demands of the US, they will remove you from the SWIFT system, and you will be isolated from the world economy. They led to BRICS, especially after the Biden Administration threatened China that it would be removed if it helped Russia. Thus, BRICS was born from that geopolitical threat, and they destroyed the world economy. The dollar can no longer be used as a weapon.

Trump wants to destroy BRICS and protect the dollar’s role in the world economy, which is a joke. You cannot threaten countries that they must comply with US demands and expect them to follow you over the edge. BRICS was created in response to these strong-arm tactics of the Neocons. They are in charge of US foreign policy, and Liz Cheney is popping the champagne – they have Trump following their rule book.

Though the Neocon bill has bipartisan support because there are Neocons on both sides of the aisle, thanks to this strong sponsorship from two ruthless, un-American Neocons, this is a significant threat to international security. This bill has not yet passed Congress, and any person in Congress who votes for it should be dragged out of Congress, kicking and screaming, for they do not represent the people. Moreover, there is also a broad package requiring congressional approval for new tariffs—the Trade Review Act of 2025 (S.1272)—that is also under consideration. It faces opposition from the White House, which has threatened a veto.

Parallel to the legislative process, courts are examining whether Trump’s existing tariffs—imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA)—were lawful. A May 28, 2025, ruling by the U.S. Court of International Trade struck down these tariffs, though enforcement is paused pending appeal. Then on July 31, 2025, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit is currently reviewing the legality of President Trump’s tariffs, with judges expressing skepticism about his authority to impose them without congressional approval. A ruling is expected soon, which could have significant implications for trade policy and presidential powers. This could go to the Supreme Court.

The legal argument before the panel of 11 members of the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington was stunning. Trump’s use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to circumvent Congress’s power to levy tariffs was, in fact, I believe, illegal. Neal Katyal, a lawyer for the plaintiffs, argued that Trump’s citation of a statute that doesn’t even mention tariffs to launch an unprecedented trade war was a “breathtaking claim to power that no president has asserted in 200 years.”

A majority of the panel from both camps, Democratic and Republican, expressed varying levels of skepticism about Trump’s position. Any decision will likely take weeks and would almost certainly be stayed to give the US Supreme Court time to consider a request for review. I believe this is in part behind the pending legislation to grant this authority that Trump has usurped.

Louis XIV War

The NEOCON of the 17th Century was King Louis XIV, who waged endless wars, bankrupted France, and only on his deathbed did he finally lament: “I have been too fond of war.” It is hard to get into their head to come up woth some logical explanation of their thought process.

Here is Lindsey Graham talking about just killing Russians and how that puts such a smile on his face. This is, I believe, a psychopath. There is just no explanation for what has caused his deep-seated hatred of the Russian people. They care nothing for human life or all the people who must die to carry out their objectives. That includes our troops who die on the battlefield to put that smile on Graham’s face, along with Cheney’s.

When Will the West Reject Zelensky?

Bidens Neocons

The Neocons are in complete control of Europe, and it is starting to appear that they have turned Trump’s head as well into promoting their endless wars when every last one of them should be thrown in prison for life without parole for TREASON – the usurpation of American Foreign Policy for personal objectives. It was Garland who weaponized the DOJ to try to prevent Trump from winning in 2024 to keep their war-mongering objectives in play.

The Ukrainian people have been the pawns in this NEOCON war. What are they fighting for? The Minsk Agreement was intended to allow the Donbas to vote on separating, no different than the breakup of Czechoslovakia into the Czech Republic and Slovakia, or the breakup of Yugoslavia into ethnic countries like Serbia and Croatia. The Neocons have pushed for war because the Dobas, as well as Korea, are Russians – not Ukrainians. Even looking at Crimea, the vast majority are ethnic Russians, and there is even 12%-15% that are Crimean Tatars from the 1240 invasion of the Mongols. This is like Mexico demanding to take Texas because it used to be their territory and outlawing the English language and their religion. The West is now on the side of Neo-Nazis – we are fighting for the ethnic cleansing of Adolf Hitler.

Zelensky 7

Zelensky defied the US to strip the anti-corruption regulators so he and his politicians can still do everything like Ferdinand Marcos just before he fled the Philippines. Protests against Zelensky erupted, and ANY politicians in the US and Europe who continue to support sending money to Ukraine should be removed from office and INVESTIGATED if they, too, are not getting kickbacks. As long as the money keeps flowing, so will this war.

Neocon Threatens to Crush Economies over Russian Oil


Posted originally on Jul 22, 2025 by Martin Armstrong 

Neocon Lindsay Graham, the modern-day John McCain, would willingly destroy ties with America’s top trading partners in the name of war. Graham has threatened to “crush” the economies of China, Brazil, and India over their continued imports of Russian oil.

Only the fools in the West dismantled their energy sector stability for Ukraine. Everyone was importing Russian oil prior to 2022. “Here’s what I would tell China, India and Brazil: If you keep buying cheap Russian oil to allow this war to continue, we’re going to tear the hell out of you and we’re going to crush your economy, because what you’re doing is blood money,” Graham stated in a recent interview. “You’re buying cheap Russian oil at the expense of the world, and President Trump is tired of this game.”

Zelensky Trump scolding him

Graham’s new strategy is glorifying President Trump’s trade tariffs and deals to position the president as pro-war. The neocons always find their way into the Oval Office. Trump indeed changed his tune on Ukraine. He entered the office from a neutral perspective, even reprimanding Zelensky for requesting endless funds. Even European nations said they were surprised when Trump suddenly signed off on a large arms to Kiev deal in mid-July. “Finally, we are showing that we are pulling in the same direction as security policy partners,” German Chancellor Merz said after learning of Trump’s pivot. Merz, who weeks prior was touting that Europe needed to become independent from the United States, then said that Germany would be willing to buy American weapons to arm Ukraine.

China and India have attempted to remain neutral and strengthen their own economies as the West sacrifices itself. We buy oil from Venezuela, turn a blind eye to Saudi actions—but if India buys Russian oil to keep its lights on, suddenly that’s a global threat? The hypocrisy is obvious. The West cut itself off from cheap energy and now wonders why its economies are collapsing. The energy crisis is self-inflicted.

The neocons believe they can dictate foreign policy through tariffs as if China and India were American colonies. China and India together have similar economic strength as the US in terms of GDP. Disrupting free trade will only cause capital to flee America as these nations have no incentive to alter their energy policies for a war that does not involve them.

“Putin wants to take countries that are not his. In the mid-90s, Ukraine gave up 1,700 nuclear weapons with a promise that their sovereignty would be respected by Russia. Putin broke that promise,” Graham also stated, continuing the false narrative that Putin yearns for the USSR. Putin has stated his terms repeatedly and made an agreement with Europe—the Minsk Agreement—that was used as an excuse to allow Ukraine time to build its military. Europe has nothing of value from a land perspective. These neocons are hurting their own nations by weaponizing trade for Ukraine. We have absolutely nothing to gain from these actions.
