“WASHINGTON—Days before going to war with Iran in February, President Trump summoned his intelligence chief to the Oval Office to ask whether a full-on assault was a good idea.
Iran was at its weakest point in decades, senior aides and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told him, providing Trump the rare opportunity to dismantle Iran’s nuclear program and bolster his legacy as a peacemaker. The question was whether a large-scale attack would work and possibly topple the regime.”

Sept 2, 2026 286 million barrels and Trump wants to export oil. SURE
Water shortages? Energy shortages? And now food?? Tell me it’s not a plan.
Americans can’t fill their fuel tank but we sure can pay for 2 wars for foreign countries that don’t care about Americans
Trump is a russian agent who's mission is to destroy the USA economy and military power so Russia can continue it's war against Ukraine.
Ana u r so lovely ❤❤❤
Going back to jelly & peanut butter
Hunger games coming to a neighborhood near you
Omg stfu anna, just tell Ukraine to surrender. Born in 83
Good time for Canada to ban oil exports to America.😂😂😂
EVERY SINGLE WORD IS NOW PROVEN AS STATED PRIOR TO THE BEGINNING OF THE WAR BY … TULSI GABBARD.
4:35 This is a completely unfair thing to be upset at Ukraine about. Ukraine is defending themselves against a much larger invader. They have very little leverage or ways to seriously hurt Russia. Targeting their refineries is a valid strategy, and it's not their fault the US decided to attack Iran and thus shut down the Middle East's oil exports too.
You're pissed at Ukraine, that's foolish, and you ,like most, are completely missing the storyline of China and why we are not in a global depression. Your coverage is ignorant of important facts.
Propogamda type talk from her
Why are Americans obsessed with ruling the World ? You all seem to agree to putting other Nations down, as long as America’s economy is the strongest and you dominate the World. You deliberately destroy other Societies by war, regime change and economic sanctions, so that you can feed your out of control greed and consumerism. You all Worship the economy and seem to turn a blind eye to the harm you do to the rest of the World. A so called Christian Country which act like demons. “In God you trust “ what a load of nonsense, you all worship the economy and the stock market nothing else.
Look at detroit!
The Government of the United States is putting the rest of America into catastrophic decline and most cities will turn out just like detroit. There are empty blocks of houses no jobs, mass crimes…
So sad… america deserves a real leader! Not one that's going to continue bankrupting everything he touches…
I would never underestimate Trump's willingness to decimate the USA for a few more years profiteering the Oval office.
for the last time(?)
this whole $#it show is to manufacture consent for the pipelines Bibi pitched to Congress that would give (insatiable & desperate) Zionists (at least) a piece of 30% of the world's oil supply & 80% of the world's known reserves.
I will never vote republican again
How about Russia gtf outta a neighboring sovereign country, Ana!!! Wow! Talk about gaslighting🤢🤮🤮🤮
All of this so America could distract from them being a blackmailed slave state and so Israel could cash in. Don't forget that when people start starving to death, Israel didn't want you paying attention to them raping kids for their benefit. Energy crisis and food shortage, this was what they wanted for the world and dont ever let them blame Iran for doing what everyone knew they would. They want your attention off of Epstein, they made you a victim by destroying the image of morallity and justice, then they inflated prices and soon they will be starving people to death. Just so you stopped caring about raped kids
I'm pretty sure TYT is also working with the Trump administration! There is no way they are this stupid to keep dancing around the real reason why the Iran war had to happen TYT is a part of the cover up. The Iran war began because the EPsteen issue was consuming the Trumpstein administration all of D.C and many many clients the sure way to stop the EPsteen walls from closing in was the one and only choice WAR it must and it shall continue its the only saving grace for all the P3DOPHILES!!!
4:29 How surprising. Moscow's pet Ana has once again found another opportunity to push anti-Ukrainian propaganda. Apparently, Ukraine isn't supposed to put any kind of pressure on Russia to end its invasion, but simply submit. Well, fortunately, that's not going to happen.
The U.S. shouldn't be leading anything. It's also interesting when Americans say things like 'our county'. The people don't have any power within that country. In fact, most are economic slaves. 'their' tax dollars fund their own government sponsored propaganda. The tax money was never yours. Paying taxes is wrapped up as money you contribute. With no option to opt out. Other than fines and possible prison time.
Israel has some serious Epstein dirt on Trump.
Ukraine is fighting for its life, hindered, I might remind you, by Us restrictions on what they could strike for most of this war. And we’re doing so before the fucktard started Israelis war and you still had cheap fuel. I don’t think they should fill guilty that your F350 cost too much too run as the dig bodies out of the rubble of Russian air strikes..
There are many propaganda news from governments. They are run by politicians.
The downfall of America is planned.
Does Ana really expect Ukraine to put their very existence on the back burner because she’s paying 4 bucks a gallon for her Camry? Perhaps they should just give themselves over to Putin, in his pursuit of reuniting the old Soviet Union under his rule, because getting the kids back and forth to soccer practice is a strain on her YouTube salary? Ever since Ben Shapiro showed her his paystubs, Ana’s been off her square.
looks like biden took it way down 1st
We the people want Trump and his administration remove from office NOW!! This is the most corrupt White House every. Impeach them all.
WTH are we blaming Ukraine for? They have to hit Russia wherever possible to fight off a real invader! The Russian oil supply issues would have caused a crunch on the global market, but the insane war with Iran is what put us in the predicament we're in. This isn't Ukraine's fault, this is our own fault; let's not put blame where it legitimately shouldn't be.
Is that scott besants lover
Anna you are now blaming Ukraine ? Damn I think you forget they are at war . Nobody is to blame but Russia . Damn Anna I have never been so put off by you before like this . You are blaming Ukraine . So since we need oil you are saying Ukraine don’t do everything you can to win that war . It’s only Russia and trump to blame . Come on Anna rethink what you just says Damn
Everything is falling in place for the evil overlords!😢
Idk why you're mad at Ukraine for striking Russian oil. That's like getting mad at Iran for striking Israeli power plants
It is alright if the petroleum reserve is low, the lowest in history. Tesla will sell more electric cars.
With the ban on foreign electric cars, Elon Musk will be laughing to the bank. Of course he will use the extraordinary profit to finance Trump's third term if Congress approves.
Ana is really going off the deep end here. Instead of blaming Ukraine for "sanctioning" Russian oil refineries in order to cut off fuel supplies to their invasion army, how about pounding Russia for invading Ukraine to begin with? Russia could solve this overnight by withdrawing from Ukrainian territory, then there would be no more attacks on their oil infrastructure. Sanctions on Russian oil exports could also be lifted. So how about going after Putin?
Yup hold your horses.. The world will go to war very soon.. god bless
The lady complains about Ukraine fighting for survival. Where are your values?
Why arent we making fertalizer here?
Oil is obsolete
I am a one issue voter. I only vote for candidates that will defund Israel. #DefundIsrael
I’m old enough to remember when TYT was paid to destroy Tulsi Gabbard’s reputation.
TRUMP is the worst
