Retired Brig. Gen. Blaine Holt said Thursday on Newsmax that Russian President Vladimir Putin is threatening to strike Berlin if Germany allows Ukraine to use long-range weapons, warning that the war is escalating toward a dangerous new phase.

Holt said Putin has threatened to strike Berlin in response to Germany's decision to lift range restrictions on long-range weapons sent to Ukraine, raising alarms about a broader expansion of the war.

Senior Iranian officials on Thursday dismissed speculation about an imminent nuclear deal with the United States, emphasizing that any agreement must fully lift sanctions and allow the country’s nuclear program to continue.

“Iran is sincere about a diplomatic solution that will serve the interests of all sides. But getting there requires an agreement that will fully terminate all sanctions and uphold Iran’s nuclear rights — including enrichment,” Abbas Araghchi, the country’s foreign minister, wrote in a post on the X.

The United States of America may withdraw from the negotiation process to resolve the full-scale war in Ukraine if White House leader Donald Trump believes he is being "used," warns White House Special Envoy for Ukraine Keith Kellogg on ABC News.

"I think when you talk about walking away if he believes he's being used and that there is no hope in progress going forward, he goes: 'We’re done with this. Europe, we leave it over to you'," Kellogg stated, commenting on Trump’s threats to exit the negotiation process.

The US cannot win a three front war, that is why when things heat up in the Mid East and in Taiwan you can be sure they'll leave Ukraine to NATO.

If you mean at present we do not have the manpower to fight that many fronts I agree. However, we fought on more fronts than that in WW2, Western European front, Mediterranean front, Pacific Island front, Northern Atlantic front, and the IO or Indian Ocean front.

We of course had the personnel to do so but expect if we were to find ourselves fighting on multiple fronts today we would raise the personnel to do so.

I do not find Taiwan would be that hard since we are using a first island and second island line strategy. Which of course is more to hold China in and bottle them up. I find the Corps is ahead of the curve by currently retraining like we did in WW2 with a Island hoping strategy. As well as we are calling in old treaties and wanting to build additional airfields on different islands in the Pac.

This way we can project additional air power beyond just our carriers. I don't believe we would fight Russia through Ukraine, I am sure we would put boots on the ground to keep up with any plans NATO would have. However, the best place for us to open a front would be in the North Lant. Attack Murmansk with Naval and airpower while you do a land attack in the Kola Peninsula.

I do agree at present we lack the manpower to open multiple fronts to fight a conventional war.

I agree. I believe that we would pick up India as there are still hard feelings over the Kashmir area as well as China and India are in a weird war in the Himalayas. They are fighting each other with deaths on both sides just they agreed to not do it with modern weapons so they are beating each other to death with blunt objects. So I don't think India would turn down an alliance especially one that we agree we will fall on their side of how land in that area should be portioned.
