Recent U.S. actions under President Donald Trump’s “America First” agenda echo the aggressive anti-corruption drive led by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) from 2017 to 2019, signaling a global shift away from multilateralism toward unilateral power plays.
The X account Clandestine has been drawing parallels to these events and the relationship between Trump and MBS and Trump’s recent comments about invoking the Insurrection Act. The Saudi purge, which saw hundreds of elites, princes, and public officials detained at Riyadh’s Ritz-Carlton and over $106 billion recovered in assets, was framed as anti-corruption but criticized as a consolidation of MBS’s authority. Through those reforms came the formation and implementation of the Abraham Accords that forged alliances in the Middle East that was thought could never be done.
On January 3, 2026, the U.S. military capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro—dubbed “Operation Absolute Resolve”—targeted him on narco-terrorism charges, with Trump hailing it as a strike against drug flows threatening American security. The June 2025 joint U.S.-Israeli bombing of Iran’s nuclear sites, like Natanz and Fordow, aimed to halt enrichment programs, drawing parallels to preventive nationalist interventions.
These events share themes of challenging entrenched threats—corruption, bureaucratic regimes, and terror proliferation—while prioritizing national sovereignty over global institutions. Parallels between MBS and Trump include power consolidation through reforms as can be seen with the State Department under Secretary Rubio. Economic nationalism via investments and tariffs, and aggressive alliances against foes like Iran and Venezuela are strengthening America’s position in the Western Hemisphere. “America first will be the major and overriding theme of my administration,” Trump declared in a 2016 speech.
This trajectory undermines the Obama-Biden legacy of diplomacy, such as the Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA), and erodes globalist frameworks like the UN. The scale of fraud is just beginning to be revealed across all sectors. States like Minnesota are under direct scrutiny from the American people with California and Illinois in the crosshairs too.
Based on the results achieved thus far, the Trump administration is implementing the America First agenda with swift precision. If there was ever a time for a massive Saudi-type purge within the US, the Trump Administration has proved that they are serious and will take action to protect the American people. The Insurrection Act being one of the final tools in the arsenal that may be needed for accountability on a massive scale on the homeland.
MAGA mental Gymnastics at Olympic levels in this article.
Missed it.
Can you please point out a few of the mental gymnastics for the less intelligent on MRAK, please?
If you don’t see it you’re just as you said unintelligent. Why don’t you let us adults figure this out.
So, you do not actually have anything at all. Thought so.
.
You had an excellent opportunity to share your thoughts, and perhaps even convert this conservative to your point of view. At the bare minimum, you could have made me think about some topics from a different point of view. And, instead of actually participating in something that resembles debate, you chose instead to troll. Which, if my knowledge of human nature is any guide, is likely the reason for your first post.
If you support Trump at this point you are not a conservative, you are an ideologue who will accept anything for your preferred ideology to stay in power. It’s a story as old as time, eventually it will all implode and once again the adults in the room will have to rebuild. But like all far right movements you will never clean up the mess you made, you will just go underground for another generation and pop up, like a virus. So no if you don’t see the fault in your ways there is really no need to talk, that time is over.
The Obama-Biden era of diplomacy? That wasn’t diplomacy. That was caving in to enemies at the detriment of the United States.
The most obama and biden ever did was write “strongly worded letters”.
They drew a few red lines in the sand.
And, promptly ignored it when they were crossed.
We are living in a time of great leadership under President Trump. He is righting our ship of state like no other. Appreciate the moment. 🇺🇸
MAGA and MAHA, it’s beautiful baby! This agenda puts all corrupt politicians on notice. Alaska is ripe with political corruption and milking Federal Funds. This State is not immune to what is coming down the pipe. Dunleavy and previous Governors refused to cleanup Alaska’s elections and allowed the corrupt RCV to continue. They also allowed the corrupt vote changing Dominion Machines to be used in the State. That will soon change. A Venezuelan whistleblower has revealed a list of U.S. Senators and Congressman that have taken millions of dollars from the drug pushing Cartels. Lisa Murkowski was at the top of the list. I do not believe she is sleeping well these days. Get ready Lisa, you will get a trial but not the one you think. What a lot of people do not understand is the voting machines originated out of Venezuela through Smartmatic. They were bought out by a Venezuelan company. There is way more to what we are doing in Venezuela ten meets the eye. They collaborated with corrupt politicians to steal elections in the USA and other countries. This way they can control their puppets like Murkowski. Get ready folks, it’s going to get bumpy. Insurrection Act inbound!
As an aside, I marvel at how common it is that We the People instinctively distrust the accuracy of most of what we hear from the federal government and the main stream “news” collaborators, yet when we like what we hear, we lap it up as absolute truth and fall into lockstep without fail. Interesting study of the human psyche and our need for some kind of trust in our institutions. I call that “hope” and I too have it to some degree. Did we find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq yet? Is the clot shot tested, safe and effective? Asking for a friend.
So, MRAK now wants the US to run and operate like the Saudi Kingdom? So much for the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
Robber- Baron imperialists just like the British, and look where it got them….America is beautiful and has every resource we need, why are we attacking everyone around us…..making enemies is more expensive than making friends.
“America First”
**empties all our tax dollars into foreign wars**
Dementia Don and all his little short guy cronies are destroying the country. White people’s last stand sure looks sad.
Which wars are those?
Are these wars in the room with us now?
Sounds like someone can’t wait for the first of the month.
Not to be a petty b, but Iran shutting down internet makes great federal contracting opportunities for starlink.
The hardware is affordable but the activation is insane. Did you know activation is $1000 in areas of Alaska?
What do you expect that price to driven up in the uprising Iran?
I don’t oppose it necessarily, like most people I also want to grab my brass ring of opportunity and an American Dream. Rags to riches, redemption, I want all of that.
The real headline should be, “Trump, Venezuela, Iran & the Israel connection”. Check it out!
