OPERATIONS INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY (OIS)
Subject: Strategic Warning from Steve Bannon – "Israel First Is Not America First: Bannon Warns of War, Betrayal, and the Deep State’s Final Play”

I. BACKGROUND

This report reviews recent remarks by Steve Bannon from Tuesday’s WarRoom. He warned about rising global conflict and threats from within the U.S. government. His focus: the dangers of the "Israel First” movement and how globalist policies are pulling the U.S. toward war. He also offered steps for defending the America First agenda.

II. WHAT HE SAID

Bannon predicts a crisis will hit around 50 days after Labor Day. He calls it a "confluence,” where multiple global events could trigger full-scale war. He believes the Middle East, especially Iran, will be at the center of it. "You’re gonna have a full-on engagement in the kinetic part of the third world war,” he warned.

He credits President Trump for ending a 12-day war with Iran during his term. "The most complicated [operation] that’s been pulled off since World War II,” Bannon said. But he warns the region is still unstable.

He points directly to Israel’s influence in U.S. foreign policy. "The Netanyahu government’s number one and the Israel First crowd here is regime change,” Bannon said. "They’re still pushing for that.” He views that agenda as a threat to U.S. national security.

Bannon also made statements about the war in Ukraine:

• He argued that the conflict in Ukraine, especially on the eastern Russian-speaking border, is not a vital U.S. national security interest. He said, “I would argue we have no national security interests” there and described it as primarily a European problem and a NATO problem.

• Bannon warned that U.S. involvement in Ukraine risks diverting attention and resources away from more important domestic issues, particularly border security and immigration enforcement. He said that focusing on Ukraine and Iran "may sabotage efforts to permanently seal the border and conduct mass deportations.”

• He criticized NATO’s expectations of the U.S. acting as a "global police force.” Quoting NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, Bannon remarked on the demand for America to police the world and rejected it: “We’re not the cop of the world. That’s a globalist mentality. That is an American Empire mentality. That has to be broken here.“

• Overall, Bannon framed Ukraine as part of a broader globalist strategy that pulls the U.S. into foreign conflicts that do not serve American interests, contrasting this with the America First agenda that prioritizes national sovereignty and domestic stability.

III. WHY IT MATTERS

Bannon sees history repeating itself. "This is starting to remind me of the guns of August,” he said, referring to the events that sparked World War I. He also compared the situation to 1941, when global conflict escalated fast. The U.S., he warned, is being dragged into war again.

He blasted recent U.S. naval deployments in Asia. "Those carriers are not set up to fight the type of war you need to defend Taiwan,” he said. He believes the U.S. military is stretched too thin. "This is how America as a superpower dies… overextension… and the people whose sons and daughters are the cannon fodder finally stepping up and saying, we don’t want to do it.”

IV. WHAT HE WANTS DONE

Bannon says the real war is here at home. He warns against losing focus. "The most important front of this war is the war here in the United States of America,” he said. That includes the open border and the need for mass deportations. "It has to happen now,” he said. "Not before 2028—now.”

He says action must be taken:

• Spread real information. "Mike Benz kind of lays out easy steps to be done immediately… to really start to get some information out.”

• Declassify deep state secrets. He cited new CIA files on the JFK assassination: "All of them… completely lied to the American people.”

• Demand investigations. "You have to get a special counsel on there and have a criminal investigation of it,” Bannon said, referring to efforts to remove Trump from office.

He warned that the U.S. is being set up again—to fight a globalist war on foreign soil, while the real crisis builds at home.

V. BOTTOM LINE

Bannon’s message is clear: the "Israel First” crowd and globalist elites are pushing America toward a war that serves their interests—not ours. He says President Trump stopped it once. But now, the deep state is trying again.

"We’re not the cop of the world,” Bannon said. "That’s a globalist mentality… that has to be broken.”
