@World_Affairs11 @AllisonPearson Partial offset for Saudi but not a panacea. Also diverts to Red Sea where there is already a threat from Iran affiliates. All Iran would have to do is is close Red Sea bottleneck and this is stymied.

BREAKING: 🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia fully restores East-West oil pipeline, bypassing the Strait of Hormuz and pumping 7,000,000 barrels per day. Saudi Arabia says it needs no more strait of Hormuz.

USA has used up much of its missiles in Iran. It will take 10 years to replenish, assuming it can get the materials. Hence the ceasefire. Impotent superpower. Bad News for Taiwan. USA has few weapons left and let’s face it they wouldn’t be there for them anyway.

Donald Trump can't close an umbrella, can't ride a bike, can't drive or pump gas, doesn't know what to do at a grocery store, has never worked an entry level job, has never faced a financial consequence or served in the military yet MAGA can relate to him. He's their guy.

It’s actually wild that Nigel Farage thought nobody would notice that the couple who won his energy bills prize draw were actually his friends.

"The Iranians don’t seem to realize they have no cards..." They actually have a Strait.

Trump leaving the umbrella for someone else to close, because he can’t do it himself, is a perfect illustration of what he did with Iran.

@AHoulu2 @AllisonPearson @Tertianship @Keir_Starmer For years you say…..

@AllisonPearson @Tertianship 🇬🇧 has had highest energy bills in the world for years. That why the economy (including AI investment) is fcked. For @Keir_Starmer to say this is due to Iran war is disingenuous & pure wrong. It is the idiocy of our Govt to NOT use our own energy assets.

Keir Starmer is “fed up” of higher energy bills which he could reduce by removing VAT and cutting green net zero taxes. We are fed up of lying Starmer.

@Alexarmstrong Alternative analysis: USA messed up, running out of ammo and retreats leaving SOH now firmly under Iranian control. USA withdraw from ME next decade, petrodollar dies. ME bi-polar split between Iran backed by China and Russia and Israel by declined USA. Gulf states split.

There is a plan for this war and it’s working out exactly as America wants it to. Trumps post tonight is yet more proof of it. The prevailing narrative is that America doesn’t know what it’s doing. That argument is BS. This isn’t about Iran. America is resetting the global order and moving forward quickly with the Greater North America plan. It is the end of globalism as we know it. 1. Middle East - Iran is now choking the strait (tolls, threats) causing Middle Eastern oil to become less desirable (not a reliable source). Ramifications of the war will continue for years. Iran has attacked other Middle Eastern powers, now all on edge and openly aggressive. Iran weakened enough it can’t get nukes, but not enough it can’t cause serious problems. Continued chaos in the Strait for the foreseeable, bad for oil business in the Middle East (see oil leaders mtg Trump). Great for American oil. 2. Europe - As energy crisis hits, Europe becomes more reliant on American oil and gas (due to above), good leverage for negotiations and long term debt ceiling (initially a worry) as europe is forced to buy more US debt if it wants energy deals. Ukraine war good long term as it knocks out Russia as energy supplier to Europe and keeps Russians weakened in attrition. Who does Europe turn to for oil? Only supplier left is America who now controls one of the largest oil producers in the world, Venezuela. 3. China - America is in a serious trade/tariff war with China, its biggest rising global threat. 45% of China’s oil comes from the strait. Venezuela’s largest oil buyer was China (50%-80%). Who now has the upper hand in that negotiation? Mid-term, China has to play USA’s game. 4. Greenland - NATO allies predictably failed to help, proves Trumps point they can’t be relied upon protect Greenland (take UK battleship already out of commission as an example) - don’t forget allies were all briefed that the war in Iran was coming, they walked into the trap. UK is a prime example, ask why so much focus from Trump on its failure to help? Because it’s a massive European power and the “special relationship” is a symbolic target. 5. South America (separate from Iran war but part of the same plan) - USA has already begun working on removing enemies and anti-US regimes. See recent Shield of America’s mtg, financial support for Argentina, Venezuela and threats to Cuba. USA is securing is back garden and forcing China out permanently. If you think all of that looks like America losing, then you’ll hate to see what winning looks like. Their plan is working. This is the Greater North America project is in full swing, it’s part of a massive reset of the global order.

@StevenJonMiller Your judgement is poor. Trump’s just led the USA to its biggest strategic defeat in 200years, probably the end of the petrodollar and US hegemony in the medium term. Historians will write about what a fuckup he was.

🚨The U.K. would be far better lead by Donald Trump than it is by Keir Starmer.

@KEdge23 What are the huge tax rises for us all Kevin? I work and the only impact on my taxation is the freezing of of the personal allowance which the Tories implemented for 7 years and Labour have retained. However, my mortgage is £200pm lower since Labour came in!!

Can someone explain what's the interest of the USA in Hungary? Orban is a pro russian politician, Orban is demanding that Hungary buys only Russian energy products, refusing to diversify and buy American ones. It's like everything against American interests.

Theoretically, you could store the electricity rather than curtailing it, but the harsh reality is that there is no form of electricity storage that is even close to being economically viable on the scale required.

Miliband's argument that we should just build more windfarms completely ignores the fact that you get diminishing returns from extra wind. (THREAD)

@danwootton Dan, seek help

You are a fucking dangerous lying evil man who has destroyed the capital city where I have lived for over two decades. There is no "outrage economy" or "disinformation" from me. The Islamist takeover is real. I HAVE BEEN MUGGED TWICE. MY FAMILY MEMBERS HAVE BEEN MUGGED MULTIPLE TIMES. MY NEIGHBOURS HAVE HAD THEIR HOMES INVADED IN BROAD DAYLIGHT AND THE POLICE DO NOTHING. MY FRIENDS ARE TOO SCARED TO WALK THE STREETS. Try and censor us all you want, but you will never shut down the truth.

What a pair of cunts

Listening to this American Caligula moron and his deranged power-hungry accomplice a year later, while all Zelensky's words have come true.

MAGA mentality in a nutshell. 🤷🤷 😂😂 👇👇👇

@sebbiep @sophielouisecc x.com/i/grok/share/5…

@sophielouisecc Experience of other countries shows that if benefits pay less than work, claimants miraculously and very quickly get better and are suddenly fit for work.

If people who work on low wages still have to pay tax on anything they earn over £12.5k And pensioners have to pay tax on their pension over £12.5k Then those who receive more than £12.5k in value of benefits should pay tax on what they get over £12.5k That is fairness

@koham1323 @Hey_jahid26 @grok This is why people who say X is the leading news platform are very mistaken. So many lies. No filter. No regulation.

@Hey_jahid26 @grok who released this picture?

The Epstein files... France's President recently posted a photo showing Epstein in an explicit situation with Trump's wife. Reports claim that on Epstein's island, it was said there was virtually no one who hadn't been involved with her.

@WarriorsForAll @Scaramucci x.com/i/grok/share/1…

@Scaramucci Obama fired over 200 people in the military when he took office. Pete Hegseth always said there were way too many generals.

Will Hegseth make the weekend? Both Rubio and Vance want him gone.

@1171_ra11917 @kezia_noble It will definitely take decades but when the historians look back it will have started now with Trump

@12stringsolo @kezia_noble Maybe not for another 100 years. Brits just mad their country is irrelevant now

I’ve got a feeling the USA is heading for a new golden era.
