Steve Bannon, former chief political strategist to President Donald Trump, warned that the conflict in Ukraine risks spiraling out of control due to recent U.S. decisions, including new arms deliveries. Speaking on his podcast War Room, Bannon highlighted that escalating tensions driven by U.S. actions could provoke further instability. He described the situation as a convergence of crises influenced by what he termed the "deep state," suggesting that these developments could draw the United States deeper into the conflict. Bannon emphasized that the U.S. is not an empire and should avoid becoming one, referencing the founders' warnings. He also pointed to numerous domestic crises that need urgent attention to prevent internal collaboration with foreign adversaries like the Chinese Communist Party. Bannon concluded by urging continued pressure for accountability and action amid what he called an ongoing period of turbulence.
