Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has warned the American people that key U.S. allies in Europe are seeking to draw the United States into a direct military conflict with Russia, an effort she says is being assisted by globalist officials inside the American intelligence bureaucracy.
Gabbard told attendees at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest in Phoenix on Saturday that “warmongers in the deep state” remain committed to preventing Russia and Ukraine from reaching a negotiated settlement.
This effort, Garbbard notes, is directly undermining President Donald Trump’s ongoing push to pressure both sides toward a peace agreement.
“Predictably, they use the same old tactics that they’ve always used,” Gabbard continued.
“The deep state within the intelligence community weaponizes ‘intelligence’ to try to undermine progress,” she said, motioning air quotes.
She added that those same officials then leak classified assessments to “mainstream propaganda media” outlets to create false narratives aimed at sabotaging diplomacy.
Gabbard argued the broader objective is not simply preserving the current conflict, but escalating it.
“[Globalists] foment fear and hysteria as a way to justify the continuing of the war and their efforts to undermine President Trump’s efforts towards peace,” she said.
“And do so in this case in order to try to pull the U.S. military into a direct conflict with Russia, which is ultimately what the EU and NATO want.”
“We cannot allow this to happen,” she added, drawing applause from the audience.

Warns of Islamist Ideology as a National Security Threat
Gabbard also used her remarks to highlight what she argued is a growing internal threat to U.S. security: the rise of Islamist political ideology within American communities.
“There’s a threat to our freedom that is not often talked about enough,” she said.
“And it is the greatest near- and long-term threat to both our freedom and our security, and that is the threat of Islamist ideology.”
According to Gabbard, Islam, when applied as a political system, seeks to impose a “global caliphate” and is fundamentally incompatible with the constitutional foundations of the United States.
“This is already underway in places like Houston,” she told the audience.
“This is not something that may possibly happen; it is already happening here within our borders.
“Paterson, New Jersey, is proud to call themselves the first Muslim city.”
She added that Islamist ideology “is propagated by people who not only do not believe in freedom, their fundamental ideology is antithetical to the foundation that we find in our Constitution and Bill of Rights, which is that our Creator endowed upon us inalienable rights.
“The right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”
The remarks come amid heightened tensions in Europe, escalating conflict along the Russia–Ukraine front, and a broader reassessment of NATO’s strategic aims under President Trump, who has repeatedly pressed European governments to shift from escalation to diplomatic resolution.
