@catholicbob When they oppose homosexuals, bring the family into church leadership Then they will BEGIN to have unity with Christ and the Holy Spirit.

Before I became Catholic, if someone had asked me “Is the US a Christian nation?”, I probably would have answered “yes” without reservation. Now that I’ve entered Communion with the Catholic Church my answer would be “The US can’t be a Christian nation unless it submits to the authority of the One Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church.”

@20committee That was private Clinton Trump is really looking at the problem without ANY Reservations. You have to admit we will never have anyone as President this free again. They tried to murder him Iran . What would you do? I’d nuke somewhere It is the only way to save humanity

I somehow missed Bill Clinton ranting about ending Serbian civilization and the "entire nation" forever -- can you direct me to that?

@Diana_European The war in Europe always had first priority You have a very bad heart problem The goodness of the US has never been in question That we suffer evil here too is real But that waxes and wanes

The US didn't care about us until they were attacked at Pearl Harbor. The US didn't rebuild anything afterwards in Europe. We went into debt with them and repaired the damage from the war. The US didn't help, they just did business.

@Diana_European Have you ever heard of the Berlin airlift? That was free to Germany From 1940 to 1945 all of the oil used in Europe was given by the US Hundreds of billions of tons of food and building materials, the lend of lend lease was really a gift. We only charged reasonable portion

@sawallnews @shanaka86 Shrewd And extremely accurate.

@shanaka86 Chi comms copying old USA approach of stay on sidelines making bank from belligerents then swoop in at end as a savior of the civilization of their choosing or Pondering why trumps profit fundamentalism approach is a dead end for USA?

BREAKING: Four markets are telling the same story right now and nobody is reading them together. Physical oil has decoupled from paper oil. Dated Brent trades at $141 while futures sit at $107. A $34 gap, the widest since 2008. Dubai physical hit $140. Oman physical reached $166. The paper market prices a resolution. The physical market prices the molecules that are not there. Physical molecules have decoupled from equity valuations. The MAG7 has lost $1.1 trillion in market capitalisation since the war began. Microsoft is 32 percent off its peak. The S&P technology sector is down 8 percent since February 28 while energy is up 6.6 percent. Markets still price this as a temporary rotation. The force majeures spreading across ten countries with zero restarts say it is structural. Physical yuan settlements have decoupled from reserve currency metrics. Twenty-six ghost fleet tankers have left the Persian Gulf since February 28, settling in yuan through CIPS, which surged to 928 billion renminbi in daily volume by March 9. The dollar still holds 58 percent of global reserves. But 1.22 million barrels per day are flowing from Iran to China every single day outside the dollar system, and the IRGC is legislating the architecture into permanent law. Physical rare earth processing has decoupled from Western tech supply chain assumptions. China controls 95 percent of heavy rare earth output and processing. Its 2025 export bans already shuttered automotive production lines in the US and Europe. The $8.5 billion American diversification push is years from producing a single kilogram of separated dysprosium at scale. Now hold all four simultaneously. There is one actor positioned on the correct side of every single decoupling, and it is not the United States. China gets discounted physical crude via the ghost fleet while the West pays $141 per barrel at spot. China’s CIPS system captures the yuan settlement flow that the war is generating daily. China’s rare earth monopoly gives it a chokehold over the MAG7 supply chain that no amount of Fed policy can address. And China’s strategic commodity reserves, the exact contents of which remain unknown, mean it holds physical molecules while Western portfolios hold paper claims on molecules that may not be deliverable. Deutsche Bank called the war the making of the petroyuan. That framing is correct but too narrow. The war is not merely making the petroyuan. It is revealing that the entire global financial architecture is a paper system built on the assumption that paper claims can always be converted to physical delivery. The $34 oil gap proves they cannot. The ghost fleet proves physical molecules move outside the paper system. The rare earth choke proves physical processing dominates paper intellectual property. The MAG7 wipeout proves paper valuations collapse when physical constraints bind. China understood this before the war began. That is why it built the ghost fleet, the CIPS system, the rare earth processing monopoly, and the strategic commodity reserves over two decades. The war did not create China’s advantage. It revealed it. And every day the strait stays closed, the advantage compounds. The US launched a war to reopen a chokepoint. China is quietly winning the peace by controlling what flows through it. The April 19 waiver expiry is the next inflection. Watch what does not move through the dollar system that day. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

@Phoxotic Yes When can you start

Based on some of the responses here I think people are operating on a fundamental misunderstanding of the EU-USA relationship. After WW2 the USA was the most powerful country on Earth while Europe was in literal ruins. Thus the USA were the ones who got to dictate the terms of the post-war world order and they are the ones who decided on the current arrangement we are all now living in which is as follows: -The USA is permitted to have military bases in Europe that allow them to project power around the world -Europe would not militarise to the same levels it did previously to rival the USA militarily -In return the USA would handle security concerns and ensure the peace in Europe You can argue whether this was a good or bad deal for either side but it was the USA who decided on this status quo and it is now the USA who wants to abandon it. But you can't have your cake and eat it too. Americans will have to choose between power projection and control vs saving on military spending. Since Trump demanded it and after the Ukraine War, Europe has been contributing more and more to the defence budget and as the Europeans start to pay a bigger share of the pie it's natural that the Europeans will start to ask why the Americans get to have bases in Europe if Europeans can't have bases in America etc and the whole arrangement starts to unravel as we are seeing happen now.

@elonmusk I knew it

This is nuts

@vtchakarova On the other hand An atmospheric detonation would remind the world what Kennedy said Mankind must put an end to war, or war will put an end to mankind Failure of generational memory is at the root of humanity failure to advance.

If the US or Israel were to use nuclear weapons against a country without nuclear weapons - Iran, it would remove the threshold that currently restrains nuclear use. This could make it easier for Russia to justify using nuclear weapons in Ukraine, erasing that red line. In turn, this erosion of restraint could extend to other nuclear powers - China, India, Pakistan, and North Korea - lowering the barrier to nuclear use in their own direct military conflicts.

@20committee You have to admit , as terrifying as it is to have a President who does not care about political, economic, or public opinion consequences is a novel circumstance, and will never happen again. What 1 good thing could he do that makes most difference. Love to hear your thoughts

"America has many allies, each with its strengths and weaknesses. But throwing the Five Eyes alliance into the trash would be idiotic." washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/beltwa…

@20committee Won’t be any Hague, International law Sounds good but when you Different lawyers Different opinions The solution is tactical nuke. But that defeats the whole purpose.

Save it for The Hague

@FFT1776 @CRRJA5 We no longer risk a nuclear war because of European weakness and or stupidity

What happens if the U.S. leaves NATO? Do we get stronger? What are the pros and cons to the US?

@JTAlexander_ Always were That’s the only body of law that exists apart from a regent

Before Consul, Caesar held a lifetime elected office outside of the Senate. Its esteem was so extraordinary that Caesar would bankrupt himself to win it. This office still exists and is occupied by an American named Robert Prevost. You may recognize it as "Pontifex Maximus."

@JTAlexander_ They are not going to like that one

@tabbyplague @GrayConnolly And they won’t Probably a defense contractor gig with six or seven figures waiting We are as corrupt as anyone ever was

McKenzie was the genius who agreed with the Biden Administration to close down Bagram Airbase in Afghanistan prior to evacuating US forces. This huge military error (that a first year military cadet could see as a mistake), set the conditions that led for the subsequent Afghanistan evacuation debacle that occurred during his watch. McKenzie was a typical "go along to get along" high ranking GO where unnecessary US casualties were the result. To date - none of the GO's involved (GEN Miller, GEN McKenzie, or GEN Millie) in the Afghanistan evacuation debacle have ever been held to account.

Not only was McKenzie a terrible General whose useful idiocy saw innocents killed in Kabul - but he is here plagiarising Admiral Cunningham on risking his RN fleet to evacuate Allied troops from Crete - 'it takes 3 years to build a ship but 300 years to rebuild a tradition'

@Postwatch @GrayConnolly Amen

@GrayConnolly It's a beautiful poignant message and I can tell few watched it all the way through. She quotes Christ on the cross, Why have you forsaken me. She ends up in the right place. May God continue to be with her and her mother and all her family.

This is a completely normal human response made by even the most devout Christians (as well as non-believers) when they have lost loved ones and/or been through a hard season. People attacking her should accept that not everyone can hack life's hard times as well as you may do.

@MaxMiller8841 This is a completely ridiculous standard in warfare. War always harms civilians. It simply is not possible to fight a war without harming civilians.

"If I get killed, I'd rather be shot than blown up by an IED. But if I do get killed, I will have died for my country." Private Robert Poate to his father, ahead of deployment to Afghanistan. Robbie exemplifies the calibre of Aussies sent to this war. Died 29 August 2012. 🙏🇦🇺

@JendersII Vatican power In rebellious homosexual America? If the Catholic Church operated Sanely, and treated marriage like God intended, It would begin to understand the unity Christ requires for eternal life

Prots have been fearful of Catholics for centuries, because they don't want the Vatican gaining too much influence over America. Meanwhile, they prostrated themselves and handed their country on a silver platter to Jews and Israel.

@BlackwoodBrief Yeah Guess you don’t realize the US can open the strait anytime it wants. And Iran doesn’t have much time before they live without water electricity And food

🚨 Iran makes an offer to Europe regarding the Strait of Hormuz. You can't imagine the scale of the disaster it has unleashed! 🚨 On the surface: Iran has offered the European Union the right of passage through the Strait of Hormuz. It seems like a simple diplomatic move, just typical geopolitical maneuvering. But it's not. It's a devastating financial bomb. Let's understand this well. 💀 20% of the world's total oil consumption passes through the Strait of Hormuz. 💀 Europe's energy bill increased by $16.2 billion in just 30 days of war. 💀 The price of natural gas in Europe increased by 100%, oil by 60%, and the price of a barrel of diesel reached $200. 💀 Dollar reserves have decreased from 70% to 56.9% in 25 years. 💀 Iran joined the BRICS group in 2024. Russia banned dollar transactions. The price of gold reached $5,500 per ounce. ⚠️ If Europe agrees to this deal, it will pay in euros, not dollars. ⚠️ One major non-dollar oil deal would be enough to prove to the world that it's possible. Do you realize the magnitude of what's happening? ⚠️ The petrodollar is the most powerful financial system ever. Born in 1974, it forced every country on Earth to hold dollars to buy oil. This is the foundation of American financial dominance. Not power, not trust, but oil. ⚠️ If this system collapses, the BRICS countries will accelerate their efforts, the Gulf states will reconsider their positions, demand for the dollar will plummet, and America will be unable to finance its $34 trillion debt on easy terms. The United States will not lose a battle, but it will lose the war—the financial war it has been winning since 1974. ⚠️ On April 2, Panetta, a member of the European Central Bank's Governing Council, stated: "Even if the war with Iran ends, the damage has already been done." Deutsche Bank described the Iranian war as a "trigger" to replace the yuan with the US dollar. They portray it as a war about nuclear weapons and regional security. But they don't portray the real war as being about who has the right to issue the world's reserve currency. Here's the logic—think about it carefully: ← Iran closes the Strait of Hormuz to the United States and opens it to the European Union with an agreement. ← The desperate and damaged European Union seriously considers accepting the agreement. ← The agreement is concluded in euros or yuan, not dollars. ← Every country watching the situation—the BRICS countries, the Global South, and the Gulf states—is seeing what is happening. ← "If the EU can bypass the dollar, so can we." ← Demand for the dollar is falling. Reserve shares are collapsing. Inflation is rising in the US. ← You haven't just lost a trade route; you've lost the dollar's 50-year monopoly on the world's trust. If America is so powerful, and the dollar so secure, why would the EU consider making a deal with the country America is bombing? If Western unity is so solid, why did 40 countries meet to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and achieve so little? Deafening silence. This is no longer just a war in the Middle East; it's a direct attack on the petrodollar—the system that fuels the entire American empire. Be prepared. 🚨🚨🚨 This post is being restricted.

@GuntherEagleman @RazorPack65 That’s not the way it divides It would be the coasts vs the red states.
