Good evening and welcome to the Worldview Report.

The United States will immediately lift the pause on aid and intelligence to Ukraine, Trump administration officials announced Tuesday after the two countries met in Saudi Arabia.

Ukraine officials expressed readiness Tuesday to participate in a 30-day ceasefire proposed by the U.S., which the White House said would trigger the renewal of full U.S. military support for the country’s war with Russia.

As for the ceasefire deal, the ball now shifts to Russia’s court.

The White House statement said:

“The United States will communicate to Russia that Russian reciprocity is the key to achieving peace. The United States will immediately lift the pause on intelligence sharing and resume security assistance to Ukraine.”

President Trump suspended aid and intelligence sharing with Ukraine after President Zelenskyy’s combative Oval Office visit on February 28.

Officials from the U.S. and Ukraine were in talks in Saudi Arabia. The meeting came just hours after 337 Ukrainian drones were launched at Russian cities, leaving three Russian civilians dead in Moscow and more than a dozen injured. We’ll have more on Vladimir Putin’s potential response later in the broadcast.

The question often comes up: Did Russia really start the war in Ukraine, or was it provoked by NATO powers?

Russia did launch a full-scale invasion on February 26, 2022.

If you read the Western media, that invasion three years ago was a naked act of aggression. 

But the war’s roots stretch much farther back. Let’s take a look.

Vladimir Putin, who’s been Russia’s leader for more than 23 years, has always been concerned about NATO’s expansion, as have other Russian leaders who watched the Western military alliance more than double in the number of member states since the late 1990s. First Poland and later Romania and the Baltic states, then Sweden and Finland, all filed into NATO and accepted Western troops on their soil. Some have ballistic missile batteries.

The one nation Russia’s government has always said it could never tolerate joining NATO was Ukraine, because it was through this country that Russia has been invaded from the West several times in its history. The French under Napoleon and the Germans under the Nazis were two of the most famous and egregious assaults on Russian territory. 

But the West, and particularly the leaders of the most powerful country in the West, America, did not listen to Russian concerns. They flagrantly violated promises made under the first Bush administration that NATO would not expand eastward after the breakup of the Soviet empire.

The courting of Ukraine into NATO by the U.S. started in earnest in 2008 under former President George W. Bush.

This was Putin’s hardest redline, no NATO membership for Ukraine, and it seems reasonable. What if Mexico or Canada announced intentions of going into a military alliance with Russia on America’s border. Washington would have none of it. The West totally disrespected Putin and asked for this war in Ukraine, in fact they provoked it and wanted it. Now they’ve got it. We’ll see how it turns out.

Here’s an excerpt from a April 1, 2008 article by NBC News:

President Bush said Tuesday he will work “as hard as I can” to help Ukraine join NATO and declared that Russia will not be able to veto former Soviet states joining the transatlantic military alliance.

“Your nation has made a bold decision and the United States strongly supports your request,” Bush told Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko after talks at the Presidential Secretariat here.

Disturbing images continued to emerge Tuesday of the ethnic cleansing of Alawites and Christians by the Islamist HTS militia in Syria.

There are now estimates of more than 8,000 dead since Friday. Israel responded to appeals for aid by Alawite leaders with air strikes Monday night.

Mainstream media continue to ignore the ongoing genocide in Syria as the Islamist HTS militia, made up of former ISIS and al-Qaida terrorists, went on a killing spree in Latakia province, where the Alawite minority lives.

Desperate Christians appealed for help on social media.

Robert Spencer’s Jihad Watch posted a video of a Jolani-affiliated militant commander openly calling for the slaughter of Alawite women and children over his microphone:

“To the Mujahideen, do not leave alive any Alawite, male or female. The most respected among them will be slaughtered. The most respected Alawite woman will be slaughtered. Slaughter them all, including the children in the bed. These are pigs. Take them and throw them into the sea.”

Pamela Geller posted this video showing mass graves in Syria.

This is just one of countless disturbing videos coming out of Syria the last few days. We pray for peace there and for all those who are under this brutal attack from Islamists affiliated with the regime in Turkey.

The number of victims now ranges from 7,000 and 10,000, according to reports.

Geller posted:

“They are hiding the bodies of the children, women, and residents they have killed. The Al-Jolani gangs are extremist Islamic groups that kill, terrorize, and steal. They burnt the bodies to hide the evidence of their crimes. They are collecting civilians’ dead bodies and throwing them in the sea or hiding them and clean roads from blood to let media like Al Jazeera record the scene as if there is nothing… please make our voice heard, please!”

Alawite leaders appealed to Israel for help, stating: 

“We announce our demand for the Israeli government, represented by its Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, to provide protection, aid, assistance and support, because the entire world has remained silent about our injustice, and we have only heard a voice from the State of Israel condemning the crimes committed by the Damascus government against the Alawites, and we thank it for that.”

And the Israelis responded Monday night with airstrikes.

Israel is not the only country coming to the aid of Christians in Syria. There’s one other. Russia.

Zero Hedge reports that when large-scale Sunni Islamist attacks on Alawite villages began last Thursday and Friday, families desperate to flee the onslaught began seeking shelter at Russia's Hmeimim airbase. 

Russian media cameras have been at the base and have confirmed that shelters have been set up for the thousands of displaced Syrians who in many cases are afraid to return to their homes.

About 8,000 were seeking shelter as of Tuesday and more were expected to arrive.

That video led one X user to respond in a post:

“But the TV celebrated the downfall of Assad and told me Russia is the bad guy?!?”

Here’s a clip from an RT.com report on the large numbers of families seeking protection from the Russian military amid the ongoing jihadist attacks.

Elon Musk remained the wealthiest person in the world even after losing $29 billion on Monday alone.

Musk was worth $301 billion as of Monday evening, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, which updated to reflect stock values as of market close. Musk's net worth on Sunday was $330 billion, meaning it fell 6.7% on Monday.

The net worth drop was fueled by a decline in Tesla's stock price. Tesla's stock fell 15% on Monday, marking its biggest single-day decline since September 2020. The tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 was down 4% overall while the S&P 500 was down 3%.

Tesla stock is down 55% from its high in December. Musk's net worth is down $132 billion, or more than 30%, this year, according to Bloomberg.

Some Tesla investors are worried the billionaire CEO may be spending too much time in Washington, DC, and not enough focusing on the electric vehicle maker.

Musk has been working closely with President Donald Trump and the DOGE office as it seeks to make cuts to eliminate waste and fraud in the federal government, including by cutting spending and the federal workforce.

A top Russian member of parliament is urging President Vladimir Putin to employ the new Oreshnik hypersonic missiles in response to a major Ukrainian drone attack targeting residential areas and civilian infrastructure inside Russia. The drones caused multiple civilian deaths and injuries.

According to a report by RT.com, citing Russian Defense Ministry data, a total of 337 Ukrainian drones were shot down above Russian territory overnight. Russian media described it as the largest drone raid by Kiev since the escalation between Russia and Ukraine in February 2022. 

In Moscow Region, three civilians were killed and more than a dozen wounded as a result of the attack, according to the report.

When asked by journalists on Tuesday if Russia should strike Ukrainian targets with the Oreshnik in retaliation, the chairman of the Russian State Duma Defense Committee and a former Russian general, replied that “the decision is up to the Supreme Commander-in-Chief [Russian President Vladimir Putin]. But I think it would be appropriate [to launch the Oreshnik], and it would be even better if it is more than one missile.”

The Oreshnik missile made its first surprise appearance in November 2024 when it landed a direct hit on a Ukrainian military industrial facility. According to Moscow, the state-of-the-art system was secretly developed and deployed in response to Kiev’s attacks deep inside Russia with Western-supplied long-range missiles.

Putin said the Oreshnik’s multiple warheads travel at 10 times the speed of sound and cannot be intercepted by any existing air defense system.

The AP reports that President Trump said Tuesday he will double his planned tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum from 25% to 50%, escalating a trade war with the United States' northern neighbor as the stock market continues to gyrate wildly this week.

Trump said on social media that the increase of the tariffs set to take effect on Wednesday is a response to the price increases that the provincial government of Ontario put on electricity sold to the United States.

Trump posted Tuesday on Truth Social:

“I have instructed my Secretary of Commerce to add an ADDITIONAL 25% Tariff, to 50%, on all STEEL and ALUMINUM COMING INTO THE UNITED STATES FROM CANADA, ONE OF THE HIGHEST TARIFFING NATIONS ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.”

The AP reported:

“After a brutal stock market selloff on Monday and further jitters Tuesday, Trump faces increased pressure to show he has a legitimate plan to grow the economy instead of perhaps pushing it into a recession. But so far, the president is doubling down on the tariffs he talked up repeatedly during the 2024 campaign and throwing a once stable economy into utter turmoil as investors expected him to lead with deregulation and tax cuts instead of colossal tax hikes.”

So, according to the fake-news AP, Trump inherited a “stable economy” from Joe Biden.

For his part, President Trump continues to fan the flames.

He continued to call for Canada to become part of the United States as a solution, which has infuriated Canadian leaders.

Trump posted Tuesday on Truth Social:

“The only thing that makes sense is for Canada to become our cherished Fifty First State. This would make all Tariffs, and everything else, totally disappear.”

Syracuse.com reports that one day after hitting New Yorkers with a new 25% tariff on electricity imported from Ontario, the leader of the Canadian province backed off and suspended the surcharge.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced on X that he is making progress in negotiations with U.S. officials and has suspended the tariff in response.

Here is Ford’s statement.

“Today, United States Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick and Premier of Ontario Doug Ford had a productive conversation about the economic relationship between the United States and Canada. Secretary Lutnick agreed to officially meet with Premier Ford in Washington on Thursday, March 13, alongside the United States Trade Representative to discuss a renewed USMCA ahead of the April 2 reciprocal tariff deadline. In response, Ontario agreed to suspend its 25 percent surcharge on exports of electricity to Michigan, New York and Minnesota.”

Meanwhile, New York officials are trying to figure out whether they will have to start collecting a 10% tariff on imported Canadian electricity that President Donald Trump said he may impose beginning next month.

Ford’s conciliatory move came one day after he threatened to cut off electricity for 1.5 million Americans who are dependent on hydro-electric power imported from Ontario.

Another super-fit, healthy young athlete has died suddenly without explanation.

Slay News reports that a 19-year-old Mississippi track star, Natalie Black, died unexpectedly in her sleep on March 1, her family announced.

The talented young athlete passed away unexpectedly while taking a nap after beating her personal record during what turned out to be her final race.

The shocking sudden death has left Black’s loved ones devastated as they try to come to terms with what happened.

Black was a sophomore at Belhaven University in Jackson, Mississippi.

She had returned home from Clinton, where her college’s track-and-field team had their first outdoor meet of the season on March 1st.

It had been a thrilling day for Black and her family. But it ended when she felt tired, went to lie down for a nap and didn’t wake up.

The promising athlete accomplished her goal of beating her triple jump personal record.

She launched herself 11 meters and won second place in the category.

“She about knocked me over celebrating,” her team’s assistant coach recalled to WLBT.

Her father added:

“She was like, ‘I’m going to make you proud,’ and she did that.”

No cause of death has been revealed.

Time now for our nightly Worldview Report commentary.

Infowars reporter Jamie White was reportedly shot to death in Austin, Texas, Sunday night. It happened around midnight outside his apartment complex.

White and others at Infowars had been reporting on the Ukraine situation and the unsavory involvement of George Soros in that country’s politics, including Soros’s alleged involvement in helping to trigger the bloody border war with Russia. 

White referred to Ukraine in one article as “one big money-laundering operation,” citing the analysis of former Trump aide General Michael Flynn.

Even more disturbing, White put out a cryptic statement on X in June 2024 in which he claimed to be on the “enemies list” of a group with ties to USAID, the CIA and Soros.

He wrote:

“I'm on the Ukrainian 'Enemies List' due to my work at @infowars and with @RealAlexJones on the Ukraine proxy war. The group who compiled this list is tied to the U.S. State Dept, USAID, CIA and George Soros.”

Was the killing of Jamie White meant to send a message to other journalists and commentators who dare to delve into the real causes of this war and the role of Ukraine in the globalists’ drive to create a one-world system based on technocracy and a massive surveillance state? 

Or, was this just a random act of violence, a crime of opportunity in a Democrat-run city that’s becoming increasingly violent and unsafe? There was evidence to indicate that the perpetrator was burglarizing White’s car when White came out to confront him.

We may never know the answer to these questions but regardless of who killed Jamie White or why, there’s no denying that truthful reporting by truly independent journalists is becoming a risky business in the United States of America.

Infowars founder Alex Jones is calling for a federal investigation into the death of Jamie White.

That does it for this edition of the Worldview Report. Thanks for tuning in and supporting this broadcast.

Until next time…
