Winston Churchill did not feed the Nazis with $360 million a year during the 30s.

The big mistake of the past 20 years is there was a policy of feeding the monster, because we had a monster building up in Lebanon and in Hamas.

Instead of neutralizing it and removing it when it was small, every time they threatened, the [Netanyahu] government caved in and paid the money, allowed them to grow to such a huge threat where we were surrounded.

We've achieved a lot — we've hit Iran badly, hit Hezbollah, hit Hamas.

Yes, Hamas still is there and growing. Hezbollah is there. Iran is there. So there's work to be done in the next governments.

But all of this can be achieved only if we unite Israel from within and rebuild Israel.

Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed, who we call MBZ, is an amazing leader. He is. He's an amazing leader for his people — he's strong. He's tough. He did not cave in.

That's the sort of allies that we want. I really like that guy. We're going to do amazing things together.

But it's going to be way beyond that. I'm talking about the Saudis, Indonesia, and India, as well as Lebanon, when we have neutralized and dismantled Hezbollah.

We need soldiers. The Torah teaches us that the epitome of Judaism is fighting for your nation.

You have to fight for Israel.

An Israeli Jew is not complete if he does not serve his country in the military.

Russia has announced a May 9 parade in Moscow without military equipment; if that happens, it will be the first time in many, many years.

They cannot afford military equipment and they fear drones may burst over Red Square.

This is telling — it shows they are not strong now.

It’s my strong personal view that the international order will be rebuilt — but it will be rebuilt out of Europe.

The world is undergoing a rupture across several dimensions — in technology, in energy, in commerce and geopolitics.

Integration is being used as a weapon by some, and the rules are not constraining the hegemons.

"The president wants action. He doesn't want to sit still. He wants pressure. He wants a deal," a senior U.S. official told Axios.

CLAIM: Iranian state media claims that Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps hit a U.S. warship with two missiles.

TRUTH: No U.S. Navy ships have been struck. U.S. forces are supporting Project Freedom and enforcing the naval blockade on Iranian ports.

Iran is fully prepared for any scenario, and the Americans know that Iran will not allow bullying by Trump and the American forces.

Iran's armed forces, like in the 40-day war, will not allow American combat forces to pass, and any transit in the Strait of Hormuz will not be allowed without the permission of Iran's armed forces.

All vessels must learn from the experience of the 40-day war and not pay the price for American foolishness.

In addition to firing at American combat vessels, Iran has prepared other scenarios which it will implement if necessary.

Adm. Brad Cooper, CENTCOM commander, flew over regional waters in and near the Strait of Hormuz in an AH-64 Apache helicopter, May 3, on the eve of U.S. military support for Project Freedom.

He interacted with U.S. Army Soldiers after visiting with Sailors and Marines on Saturday aboard two U.S. Navy warships patrolling the Arabian Sea.
