@provemewrong411 When EU leaders get together for informal group photos, they always hand the digital automatic camera to the Estonian leader. No one wants to admit the Estonians belong to their group. I was told this by a Ukrainian.🐼

Fuck this woman is dumb, even for an Estonian…

@provemewrong411 True story. When I was young my aunt said: sad that Ukrainians are not very smart and they are not very nice. I was puzzled, think our family was Ukrainian. When I was in college I found out we were Lemkos. Only then was the mystery cleared up.

I’m pro Russia because I was born in Ukraine. That’s it, that’s the tweet.

@RapidResponse47 @SecScottBessent You guys are funny, but then you have an impossible job, flakking for the most evil (tied with W) stupid administration in history.

.@SecScottBessent: In the coming days, we may unsanction the Iranian oil that's on the water. It's about 140 million barrels, so depending how you count it, that's 10 days to 2 weeks of supply, that the Iranians had been pushing out, that would have all gone to China. In essence, we'd be using the Iranian barrels against the Iranians to keep the price down for the next 10 or 14 days, as we continue this campaign. So, we have lots of levers.

So Bessent has unsanctioned Russian oil & might unsanction Iranian oil I told you last year when he was named Treasury Secretary - in all my dealings with him, he was an idiot I have been proven right everyday for a year

Israeli Officials Said U.S. Was Told about South Pars Attack nytimes.com/2026/03/19/wor…

In an incredible escalation, US-Israeli forces have attacked South Pars in Iran, the world’s largest natural gas field.

Prof. Michael Hudson: "The three democracies America is fighting for -- Ukraine, Israel, and Al Qaeda in Syria -- are all involved in racist ethnic cleansing. America's only tool left is chaos: break up Russia, break up Iran, then confront China."

@D162Michele The RAND corporation loves to promote war. I believe that a RAND paper was the basis for the US propaganda war against China. Total research funding of about $469.7 million came from the US Government in FY2025.

How exactly would the Japanese sink China’s invasion fleet? With what? Hello Kitty and sumo wrestlers?

New questions arise over TikTok sale. Sen. Mark Warner has questions about a $10 billion fee that TikTok's buyers are paying the US on top of what they spent to buy the actual business from China's ByteDance. But those involved are keeping silent. axios.com/2026/03/18/tik…

@AndyBxxx @JanJekielek Doesn't the author understand that besides spying that the CIA runs a vast propaganda machine, including through the civilian media? Wasn't it Pompeo who said something like "we lie, we cheat, we steal?" And speaking of cracks, the US debt grows by $7 billion a day.

The CCP loves to tout that they have “lifted millions out of poverty.” But the reality is much more complicated. Former CIA analyst Robert Suettinger reveals why the cracks in China’s Communist system go much deeper than you think: “They have [lifted millions out of poverty] as a result of the modernization of the Chinese economy, as a result of an enormous amount of foreign direct investment coming into China.” “You go anywhere in China, and you can see new buildings, new railroads, new urban development.” “What you don’t see is what Li Keqiang talked about.” “A long time ago, he said that in the Chinese population of 1.4 billion… at least 600 million people still live below the poverty line.” “We don’t see that part of China.” “That’s where the real Chinese live.” “Now, in this Chinese New Year… many of those people who worked in urban areas have gone back… to their home villages to celebrate the Chinese New Years.” “Many of them are not gonna be able to come back to the urban areas because there’s no jobs for them there.” “And the Chinese government doesn’t want you to know that either.” “So those people may have bought a one-way ticket back out to their home villages.” “I’m not trying to say it’s a myth.” “I’m not trying to say those people have not risen, but the numbers are not as impressive as you might want to think.”

@freedomrideblog Both Haaretz and the Times of Israel carried the story. And the American MSM? So far I've seen it confined to the twitterverse and Reddit. The NYT would rather discuss war strategy.

@chenweihua @SenWarren Senator, what is wrong with China becoming a more important global presence than the most violent, destructive nation on earth?

@SenWarren Warren’s BS

Trump just signed off on NVIDIA's plan to divert advanced chips to China. That'll drive prices of laptops and smartphones even higher – and help China overtake us in AI. Big Tech and China win. The rest of us lose.
