  • Trump/Nawrocki partnership is the best hope for the future of NATO

    Trump/Nawrocki partnership is the best hope for the future of NATO

    By Rebecca L. Grant, Ph.D., Vice President, Lexington Institute. March 27, 2025 Poland is one of America’s strongest allies, not only in Europe but in the world. “We’re with Poland all the way, and we will help Poland protect itself,” President Donald J. Trump said in September during the visit of Polish President Karol Nawrocki. Right now would be a great time for President Nawrocki to endorse the Trump Administration’s goal of ending Iran’s nuclear weapons capability and destroying its ability to foment terrorism.  Several NATO and EU members have fumbled their response to Operation Epic Fury.  President Trump may be closer to achieving these goals than many realize, and public support from the head of state of a large NATO country would be a timely boost to this important goal.

  • 19 is Not Enough: Inside the Air Force’s Rush Order for New B-21 Stealth Bombers (From RealClear Defense)

    19 is Not Enough: Inside the Air Force’s Rush Order for New B-21 Stealth Bombers (From RealClear Defense)

    By Rebecca L. Grant, Ph.D., Vice President, Lexington Institute. March 13, 2025 The Iran campaign proves that full-speed-ahead on the B-21 is an operational necessity.  America isn’t running out of munitions for Operation Epic Fury.  But the Air Force is short on stealth bombers. “In just the last hour, U.S. B-2 bombers dropped dozens of 2000-lb penetrator bombs, targeting Iran’s deeply buried ballistic missile launchers,” Admiral Bradley Cooper briefed on Mar. 5 from his U.S. Central Command headquarters. Operation Epic Fury has once again shown that stealth bombers are a necessity for American airpower on the first night.  It started on night one.  “American B-2 bombers, which, again, similar to Midnight Hammer, flew a 37-hour round-trip sortie from the continental United States, dropping precision penetrating munitions on Iranian underground facilities across the southern flank and slightly deeper,” Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine said at the Pentagon on Mar. 2.

    Metric for Success in Operation Epic Fury: Destruction of Iran’s Military Power (From the FOX News Rundown)

    By Rebecca L. Grant, Ph.D., Vice President, Lexington Institute. March 4, 2025 Fox News Rundown: Dr. Rebecca Grant, what’s on your mind? Rebecca Grant: The death of Ayatollah Khamenei offers a new day for Iran and the prospects of peace across the Middle East, and it’s come as a direct result of precision U.S. Air and Space power.  President Trump was right to seize the moment. B-2 bombers are back in action. Air Force F-22s and F-35s, along with two aircraft carriers and more land-based fighters, are leading the most sophisticated air campaign ever launched by U.S. forces. However, the number one metric for success in Operation Epic Fury is simple: the destruction of Iran’s military power.  Here are the top three priorities.   First, destroy the missiles.  The core military objective and the biggest target set is destroying Iran’s missile complex.

June 12, 2025- Golden Dome missile defense is such a hot topic that it’s breaking through on New York radio. On May 28, deep into a discussion of Putin’s chaos in Ukraine, Joe Borelli, guest host of The Joe Piscopo Show, asked about President Donald Trump’s plan for Golden Dome, a missile defense shield for America.  Highlights below. Joe Borelli noted that “President Trump has been talking about the Golden Dome for the last couple of weeks.  Is this really a way to neutralize Russian nuclear attacks, that could sideline Putin and make him less of a threat?” for more click here: New Yorkers: Will Trump’s Golden Dome Missile Defense Work?
