RattlerGator Report: 5/11/26 - Trump the Pragmatist, Ukraine's Lend-Lease Moment, and Bitcoin
from Badlands Media · host Badlands Media
JB White opens with Marco Rubio standing in front of a map of Cuba with SOUTHCOM's commanding general and makes the point that this image alone tells you more about Trump's second term agenda than most analysts have figured out. He then reads Michael Massey's sharp piece on Trump as a pragmatist rather than a liberal or a conservative, and explains why that framing is exactly right. The centerpiece of the show is JB's Grok-assisted argument that Ukraine has already been America's 21st century Lend-Lease program: Starlink, Palantir, Andoril, and CIA groundwork laid during Trump's first term have equipped Ukraine to hold off Russia and build a sustainable defense industry. He closes with a Bitcoin price update, a tease of the coming Petro Bitcoin segment, and a personal announcement that he is moving to Warner Robins, Georgia and going off the air after Wednesday for several weeks.
