She nailed it 🔥 “Our soldiers are in Israel right now in order to defend the Israelis. Do the Israelis pay for our military? Are they the ones who are shelling out a trillion dollars a year for our military? NO!" Ana Kasparian the only journalist in America with Spine 🔥❤️

3 months of continued Hormuz disruption is inevitable, writes @TheMichaelEvery My take: No Hormuz resolution ever. Flows will return to 25-50% in 2027 with crushing effects that will change the world forever. The biggest blunder in history. #oil #Hormuz #IranWar‌

QatarEnergy Extends Force Majeure to Mid-August as Edison Scrambles for U.S. LNG No liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Qatar will ease the pain for Europe or Asia anytime soon, according to QatarEnergy, one of the largest LNG players in the world. 🧵

Iran media post Lord of Straits cartoon 'so Americans can follow'

Some of Australia's largest mining companies receive hundreds of millions in diesel fuel tax credits - BHP alone received $622 million last financial year. At a time when the budget is under pressure and Australians are feeling huge cost of living pressures, these subsidies need to end. We should be capping fuel tax credits to look after farmers and small miners but make the biggest miners pay the full price for diesel like everyone else. theguardian.com/world/2026/may…

What is the United States truly afraid of right now? It’s not missiles or aircraft carriers. It’s the 12 trump cards China is quietly discarding. Today, I’m going to break down exactly how China has been dismantling Western technological dominance step by step. Each one of these cards carries enough weight to keep the West up at night. 1. China ditched GPS. Its BeiDou navigation system now delivers centimeter-level precision, with over 100 million global users. Even Middle Eastern oil tycoons are abandoning GPS for BeiDou. Can you believe it? America’s all-seeing eye over the world has just gone blind. 2. China ditched Boeing. The C919 has already racked up over 1,200 orders, wiping out $80 billion from Boeing’s value in a single year. What used to be “better to buy than to build” has flipped — now buying Chinese planes feels like the smarter choice. Boeing was caught completely off guard 3. China ditched American chips. Yangtze Memory’s solid-state drives have slashed international prices in half. After the return of Kirin chips, Qualcomm panicked and cut prices by 30% overnight. The very thing they once used to choke China has become its own lethal weapon. 4. China ditched Windows. UnionTech UOS has surpassed 5 million installations, with national ministries and major banks fully switching over. Microsoft’s CEO is losing sleep, but there’s nothing they can do about it. 5. China ditched Western medical equipment. Shanghai United Imaging’s CT scanners are now entering clinics in the US and Europe. Germany’s Siemens had to slash prices on similar models by 40%. Chinese medical tech has planted its flag firmly on Western soil. 6. China ditched foreign fuel engines. BYD’s blade batteries left Toyota executives tearing down cars on the spot to study them. Tesla lost $1.2 trillion in market value in just three months. The era of gasoline cars is ending — and in the new energy world, China sets the rules. 7. China ditched Oracle databases. Ant Group’s OceanBase has shattered world performance records. Bank transaction systems no longer have to bow to American pressure. This is real technological sovereignty. 8. China ditched Western industrial software. Zhongwang CAD forced France’s Dassault to beg for mercy with price cuts. Sany Heavy Industry used domestic software to design the world’s largest tunnel boring machine. China has ripped a massive hole in the West’s monopoly on industrial software. 9. China ditched dollar settlement. The RMB cross-border payment system now covers 180 countries and regions. Saudi Arabia is now selling oil in RMB. The first major crack in American hegemony was torn open by China. 10. China ditched Western genetically modified seeds. Yuan Longping’s team developed salt-tolerant rice yielding over 1,000 jin per mu. China’s bowls now hold Chinese grain. Monsanto’s seed patents have lost their power, and China has taken full control of its food security. 11. China ditched American social media. Xiaohongshu (RedNote) has grabbed 30 million American users. Zuckerberg is watching helplessly as his daily active users plummet while Chinese social apps explode across the ocean. 12. Finally, China ditched Western military equipment. The Fujian aircraft carrier’s electromagnetic catapult surpasses America’s Ford-class, and DF missiles have forced carriers to keep their distance. The U.S. military-industrial complex held emergency meetings overnight. ⭕️This isn’t just technological progress. These are twelve tolls of the bell signaling the decline of Western hegemony. 🔶Written by professor Yang Fan, born in 1951 in Beijing, is a professor of economics and doctoral supervisor at China University of Political Science and Law.

The American empire is ending in real time, and Iran is the latest proof. I am calling out that this conflict could do far more than reshape the Middle East. Check out the full breakdown in the video below. #SteveKeen #EconomicCollapse #ChinaDominance youtube.com/watch?v=QipDUR…

@RobertCettl Truer words have never been spoken @IRanalyst //"We are always seeking to fit in and incapable of standing alone on a matter of principle or belief, let alone articulating what we strive for as a unique sovereign political community. #Australia is the ultimate support act.'// 😔

"I’ll leap straight in because we haven’t much time. Back in July 1971, when I was working in the Department of Foreign Affairs, preparing for the recognition of the People’s Republic of China, we wrote a policy planning paper which said, and I quote: The American alliance in a shifting power balance means less to us than it has in the past. Accordingly, we shall need now more than ever to formulate independent policies based on Australia’s national interests and those of our near neighbours. It was true then. It’s even more true now. But Australia has done exactly the opposite. (With AUKUS) it has elevated the alliance to such sacrosanct status, which brooks no challenge, that we are losing control of our own destiny."

Did Australia’s E-7A Wedgetail battle management planes assist the US attack on Banda Abbas in Iran — few kms north of RAAF’s UAE airbase? Keeping in mind the stated ‘defensive’ brief to locate Iranian missile sites so any launched at UAE can be stopped. abc.net.au/news/2026-05-2…

Oi, @AlboMP : Statement by Australian activist Violet Coco after her release from an Israeli prison. She dares you to meet face to face with her and other aid activists from the #Sumudflotilla and hear their testimonials! Do it ! Then take serious action against IsrHELL 🙏🙏

When the headlines fade, those kids are still dead. “The scale of the loss is absolutely overwhelming.”

In 2029–30, students and graduates will pay more in HECS indexation than multinational gas corporations pay in tax on our oil and gas. Let that sink in. Australians deserve a fair share of our natural resources, and a government with the courage to stand up for them.

🚨Former President Jimmy Carter reveals the truth in 2007: 'The Israeli lobby (AIPAC) has nothing to do with peace. Its only mission is to ensure unconditional American support for everything the Israeli government demands.'"

“Self-defense”

President Trump claims he is trying to find negotiated end to the war, but by his actions he is sabotaging it. These posts on TruthSocial and the order that he apparently gave to the military to attack multiple targets in Iran overnight, produce the opposite of peace. In order to end a conflict that is in a ceasefire status, you have to engage in confidence building measures that move towards peace. Literally everything President Trump is doing is pushing things closer to the brink of war, not peace. Words are important, but never as important as actions, and President Trump‘s deeds imply he is trying to restart this war. “Peace through strength” is only possible if the actions are guided by wisdom. Using military force without intelligent thought in a strategic plan, equals disaster, which is apparently where we’re headed.

Australia has been on the US leash since before I was born. I guess it made sense then. Today, the original elite warmongers are in charge. China is not a threat. The US warmongers are the "turd in the international punch bowl." Those in the Australian government pushing China as a threat work for wealthy assholes. Tired warmonger bs.

This is bizarre. Trump is imposing this condition on recalcitrant Gulf allies (the Saudis have already said “forget it”), not Iran. He has unintentionally re-opened the question of Palestinian statehood, which the Board of Peace was supposed to kill off. Trump says it’s ‘mandatory’ for Muslim nations to join Abraham Accords as part of Iran deal news.antiwar.com/2026/05/25/tru…
