Jake Broe Shows Narrative Discipline With Latest Video, Stops Chasing Trump’s Shiny Things

Jake Broe’s latest video marks a good step forward in his analysis. He avoids Trump’s endless stream of “shiny objects” and focuses instead on the hard military and economic realities driving the war.
Yet Broe still clings to one comforting illusion: that President Trump is stupid, bumbling, or unaware of the consequences of his actions. This is wrong. The president is not stupid. He knows exactly what he is doing, and what he is doing consistently aligns with the Kremlin’s interests.
Recognizing this difference—between incompetence and intentional betrayal—is an essential analytic leap that Jake Broe has yet to make.
Trump’s Shiny Objects as Weapons
For months, if not years, Trump’s pattern has been clear: declare peace is just around the corner, boast about “deals,” dangle promises of quick resolution, then shift the goalposts.
These proclamations are not random. They are deliberate misdirections—tools to fracture Western consensus and buy Putin time.
Broe’s narrative discipline lies in refusing to treat these words as substantive. He now focuses on the underlying facts: Ukraine’s drone blitz crippling Russian oil, the domestic fuel crisis in Russia’s Far East, the looming bankruptcy of Russian industries, and Ukraine’s emerging long-range strike capabilities.
By concentrating on what is real rather than Trump’s theatrics, Broe takes a vital step.
The Last Major Flaw in Broe’s Analysis
Even as he clarifies the battlefield picture, Broe continues to undercut his own analysis by treating Trump’s behavior as stupidity. He implies Trump does not understand what he is doing, that he is blundering or improvising.
This, however, lets Trump off the hook. It preserves the illusion that he is simply incompetent rather than complicit.
The truth is sharper: Trump knows what he is doing. He blocks NATO unity. He undermines aid to Ukraine. He advances “peace talks” that are really vehicles for Ukrainian surrender.
Likewise, he imposes tariffs not to punish Russia but to weaken the U.S. economy and erode trust. These are not mistakes. They are deliberate actions that serve Putin’s survival strategy.
The Discipline We Need
By refusing Trump’s rhetorical bait, Broe shows growth. But full discipline requires the next step: acknowledging intent.
Trump’s behavior is not chaotic improvisation. It is asymmetric warfare—an American president operating as a Traitor-General, using distraction and misdirection to cloak policies that consistently shield the Kremlin.
Analysts who call Trump stupid become part of his cover story. By downgrading treachery to mere foolishness, they protect him from accountability.
Broe’s audience, and the West at large, need to see the truth plainly: Trump is not a fool unconsciously led by others. He is an active participant, consciously aligning himself with Moscow.
The Dire Implications
For Analysis: Treating Trump as stupid blinds us to the pattern. Treating him as deliberate reveals the strategy.
For Policy: Every Trump maneuver must be understood as serving Putin unless proven otherwise.
For the Public: Trump’s words are theater; his actions are betrayal. He knows this. Pretending otherwise disarms us.
The Only Reasonable Conclusion
Jake Broe deserves credit for showing new narrative discipline, refusing to chase Trump’s shiny distractions and focusing instead on Russia’s material decline and Ukraine’s resilience.
But Broe’s last main illusion must be abandoned. The president is not stupid. He knows exactly what he is doing, and he is doing it in service of the Kremlin.
Until analysts like Broe stop softening this truth, they risk remaining one step behind the very man they should be trying their damnedest to expose.
