🇺🇸 🇮🇷 Pentagon just asked for $200 BILLION more in defense spending. For insane comparison: Ukraine itself has spent roughly $180–200 BILLION on its own war effort over 4 full years (defense budgets skyrocketed from ~$7B pre-war to $65B+ annually in 2023–2025) So one extra US defense year ≈ 4 years of Ukraine funding its own survival against Russia. That’s not just wild, it’s fucking astronomical. Sources: WSJ / SIPRI / Ukrainian budget reports

🚨🇫🇷 Macron flatly refuses to help force open the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. is carrying this war almost entirely alone, and the allies who depend most on that oil are the ones sitting it out.

@MarioNawfal Let’s be honest: France wants the result, but not the cost. If the strait reopens and oil prices calm down, everyone benefits. But when it’s time to send forces, take risks, and carry the blame, they disappear.

To put it bluntly, international law is like a neighborhood pact with no police to enforce it. When everyone agrees, it carries weight; when they fall out, it becomes nothing more than a weapon in a shouting match.

🇪🇸 Spain's PM calls the Iran war "illegal" with "no justification": "Europe stands for multilateralism and international law. This war is causing massive damage."

@FoxNews That is a classic bit of diplomatic charm! It’s always fascinating to see how high-level leaders use personal touches to break the ice. This specific compliment—noting Barron Trump’s height and good looks while crediting both parents—is a masterclass in "reading the room."

Instead, Starship and Orion would dock in Earth orbit, giving Starship the pivotal role of propelling the capsule to the moon’s orbit, before taking astronauts down to the surface. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

First half: medium-high credibility. Iran really is using Hormuz to create global pressure. Wording: heavily politicized. “Blackmailing the world” is framing, not neutral description. Second half: low-to-medium credibility. The claim that Israel is helping reopen the strait is not yet strongly supported by public evidence. Overall nature of the statement: not a total lie, but a real situation packaged into a narrative that favors Netanyahu’s political and strategic position.

🇮🇱🇮🇷 Netanyahu: "Iran is trying to blackmail the world by closing the Strait of Hormuz; it won't work." He also said Israel is pitching in its own way to help the U.S. get it back open. x.com/clashreport/st…

The Kobeissi Letter@KobeissiLetter·6h

China is sitting on massive oil reserves: Chinese crude oil imports surged +15.8% YoY in February, the biggest monthly jump since August 2023. Growth rates have QUADRUPLED since the end of 2025. After over a year of stockpiling, China has built up an estimated 1.2 billion barrels of reserves. This includes ~851 million barrels of commercial inventory, the supply that would likely be used first. Meanwhile, refiners could start drawing as much as 1 million barrels per day over the next 4 to 6 weeks. In the first week of the Iran War, Beijing already ordered its biggest refiners to restrict fuel exports and prioritize gasoline and diesel production over chemicals as a precautionary move. China is playing the long game amid the Iran War.

The 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit is already en route and expected within days. The strait carries about 20% of global oil, and ongoing attacks have disrupted shipping. Why it matters: any move here risks a direct clash while the world’s most critical oil route hangs in the balance. Source: Wall Street Journal

The oil market has fragmented: Oil is now trading for $150/bbl in Asia (except the occasional sanctioned Iranian tanker) where demand destruction has started. China and India most pressured. Meanwhile it is still $100 in the US

@Osint613 The answer lies in the ideological rift. While Saudi transforms into a tech and tourism hub, Iran still exerts influence through missiles. This physical and psychological gap ensures the current energy crisis has no exit ramp. Without shared values, there is no solution.
