Pentagon Puts Soldiers On Alert, Trump Becomes More Unhinged

A lot of people are feeling off balance right now. Not because of one thing, but because everything feels louder, sharper, and less stable than it used to. This episode opens by acknowledging that moment and the need to stay grounded before diving in.

From there the focus shifts where it belongs. The news. The decisions being made. And the consequences that follow when restraint and accountability start slipping away at the highest levels of power.

This episode breaks down a series of recent developments that raise serious questions about leadership, stability, and judgment. Military readiness. Escalating rhetoric. And a governing style that seems increasingly driven by impulse instead of responsibility.

There’s nothing abstract about what’s discussed here. These stories affect how the country functions, how allies perceive us, and how safe or unsafe the world becomes when ego starts substituting for policy.

The goal isn’t to overwhelm or sensationalize. It’s to look directly at what’s happening, connect the dots, and call things what they are without spin or comfort language.

This episode looks at Trump’s ego driving policy, a self appointed Board of Peace, and the Pentagon discussing the deployment of soldiers inside US cities. Taken together, it’s hard to argue we’re living in anything but a world gone mad.

I talked about the major financial upheaval that my girlfriend and I are going through since this last Friday.

SPEAKER_00: 0:08

Hello, I'm Jeff Allen Wolf, and this is a World Gone Mad. Where the hell are we right now in our country? There's no normalcy anymore. Or at least what we used to call normalcy. A lot of us are at this point, I know I am some days, where we just don't know what the hell to do. We feel like we're behind the eight ball, that we're going in circles, that sometimes life sucks right now. We relied on our leaders in Washington and our local leaders as well. But we feel that they're letting us down. Donald the delusional one has achieved the position where he created the ultimate chaotic situation in America. Millions have lost faith in their institutions. The world looks at us and laughs. Donald Trump has achieved what Putin wanted. Destruction of our country from within. I woke up this morning feeling a little lost, a little down. Part of that is due to what I just talked about. The other part is what my family and I are going through right now financially. Adding to that stress, I'm getting some messages in my Facebook group and through texts that people are not receiving my links to this podcast. And when all of these factors come together, or similar ones, that you, the listener, are going through, we feel lost, stuck in the quicksand, our minds spinning in different directions. To how can we write the ship? I can't speak for any of you, the Wolfpack, but I can say the biggest thing that I could do today that I pass along to you is to take a breath. Several deep ones and refocus. Control what we can control. It sounds trite, control what we can control, but it sounds inadequate also to say it out loud. But we have to take things one step at a time. So I'm going to slow down, make a mental or physical list of things I need to take care of, but I'm also going to realize I can't fix everything that needs fixing at once. It's the start of the new week. I need to put my steely eye glazed on, put one foot in front of the other, and move forward. Because quite frankly, there's no other choice. The alternatives are bad. My advice is that everyone should do the same thing. Control what you can control. And breathe. And with that in mind, here we go. The Pentagon has some fifteen hundred active duty soldiers preparing for possible deployment to Minnesota, a source said, while state officials have mobilized the National Guard. A reported surge in customs and border protection and other federal agencies, including from the FBI, is expected amid the Trump administration's latest targeted push and its nationwide immigration enforcement crackdown. If this is the case of mobilization from Trump and his enablers, then this is scary indeed. You mean ICE wasn't enough? Letting those thugs out on the city streets against citizens wasn't enough? This sounds like the early stages of a frigging civil war in our own country. Hey Republican leadership, wake the hell up and do something about Nutcake Donald. I think you're past the time of taking control back from the clip that Donald is pushing us over to. Okay, this next story is so unhinged, it barely qualifies as real life. But unfortunately, it's very real. Hear it carefully, people, because I'm not making this up. Donald Trump has now publicly linked how he thinks about peace and restraint to the fact that he did not receive a Nobel Peace Prize. And he said this while talking about Greenland. Here's what that means in plain terms. Trump has gone back to openly talking about the United States taking control of Greenland, not cooperating with Denmark, not negotiating shared security, taking full control of Greenland. When asked to him why his tone toward allies has hardened and why he no longer feels obligated to operate diplomatically, Trump tied that shift directly to his anger over not being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Trump's argument is this. He believes he deserved the Nobel Peace Prize. He believes he was denied it unfairly. And because peaceful behavior did not get rewarded, Trump no longer feels obligated to prioritize peace. That's not interpretation. That is the logic Trump put out there. Greenland is not the emotional target here. Greenland didn't do anything. Greenland is being used as an example, a demonstration of what happens when Trump decides restraint no longer benefits him. Donald's not saying he suddenly discovered new intelligence about Greenland. He's not saying Greenland wronged him. He's saying that cooperation was conditional, and now that condition is gone. In other words, Trump is telling allies this. Peace was a choice. That choice depended on recognition. Without recognition to him, pressure tactics are back on the table. That's the connection. This is what governing looks like when ego becomes policy. Praise becomes leverage. Disagreement becomes disrespect. Diplomacy becomes transactional. Allies are being told very clearly that stability depends on flattery. Calm depends on applause. And restraint? It depends on whether Donald Trump, Trump feels sufficiently admired. That's a danger here, because this is not strategy. This is not ideology. This is not even a coherent worldview from Trump. This is an unhinged way of thinking, coming from the most powerful office on earth. A president, Donald the Delusional, one openly suggesting that peace is optional, that restraint depends on personal praise, and that global pressure is justified when Trump's ego feels bruised. That's not just reckless. It is fundamentally unstable. This isn't about Greenland. This isn't about the Nobel Peace Prize. This is about a man who's telling the world that if he doesn't feel celebrated, the rules change. That's not leadership, that's not strength. That wolf pack is a warning sign. And when that mindset sits in the Oval Office, it doesn't just embarrass the country, it endangers the world. Now this next bit of news shows you how really mad this world is becoming hour by hour. This is one of those moments where you realize the guardrails are not bending. They're gone. Donald Trump is now floating the idea of a so-called board of peace for Gaza and has invited, hold on to your chair, a board of peace for Gaza, and Trump has invited Vladimir Putin to sit on that board of peace. Let me repeat that for those of you that had your ears go into shock. Putin was invited by Trump to sit on the Board of Peace. Let's be clear about what that means. Donald Trump is proposing a self-appointed global peace club run through personal relationships and raw power instead of laws, institutions, or norms. And he looked at the man currently leveling cities in Ukraine and said, Yes, that's my peace guy. This is not diplomacy. This is not some abstract concept. Trump is talking about Gaza, a place where people are being killed daily. A place that requires credibility, trust, and legitimacy. And Trump's solution is to bypass international structures and elevate Vladimir Putin as a moral authority on peace. Vladimir Frigging Putin, the guy actively waging a war of conquest, the guy who jails opponents, poisons critics, and treats international law like a speed bump. And Trump's message is simple. Power recognizes power. Strong men solve problems. Rules are for suckers. Now this Board of Peace has no legal standing, no enforcement mechanism, no democratic oversight. It exists because Trump wants it to exist, and because he believes peace is something you manage like a brand partnership. This is the same worldview that says peace only matters if it benefits you personally. That restraint is optional, that legitimacy comes from dominance, not consent. And here's the most dangerous part, listeners. This reframes violence as a qualification. It tells the world that you do not need to stop wars to become a peace broker. You just need enough leverage and the right relationship with Donald Trump. That's how you normalize brutality. That's how you reward aggression. That's how you erase the difference between stabilizing a region and terrorizing one. This isn't bold thinking. This isn't unconventional leadership. This is a collapse in moral reasoning coming from the most powerful office on earth. You don't build peace by inviting arsonists to run the fire department. And when Donald, the delusional one, cannot tell the difference between power and legitimacy, the entire world pays the price. Wolfback, there are many, so many damn crazy mad things to point out to you that Donald and Republicans did in the last 48 hours, and his MAGA enablers on the Republican side supporting his ideas, but I just don't want to subject you to a five-hour podcast. As always, thank you to the Wolfpack and all the new listeners who've come across my podcast. If you'd like to email me your thoughts, ideas, comments, suggestions, anything you want, here's the email. Wolfpacktalks at gmail.com. W O L F P A C K T A L K S at Gmail. Would love to hear from the loyal listeners and new people, please. Now I mentioned in my last few episodes that my family and I are going through a terrible time. We're still neck deep in it. A few people asked me, so I included the link in the podcast description if you're looking for a way to help us. Again, zero obligations to anyone. And again, a big thank you to everyone who did help so far. Natasha and I appreciate you taking a look at the link, showing us your care and support. If helping us financially isn't possible, that's okay. We get it. We truly understand. But if you could at least share the link, that alone helps more than you might realize. The more people who see this link of support for us, the better our chances of Natasha and I getting through all of this. All both of us can do is take things one hour at a time, and that's what Natasha and I are doing. A big thank you in advance to those that can help. You'll find the link in the bottom of the description wherever you see my podcast. Or for those of you that text me or have the email, ask me if you need the link. I'm Jeff Allen Wolfe. This is a world gone mad. I'm taking names, I'm holding these people accountable. Everyone, lock in, keep alert, remain skeptical, but most of all, stay hopeful.
