If the European Union’s ability to defend itself can be destroyed with one paid enemy agent within like Orban, it is failing basic Darwinian logic and requires urgent reform.

Donald: "Europe are freeloaders who need to defend themselves" Also Donald: "Can we freeload off you for a while?"

The US has never been as little respected as now. Since Trump talks so much about respect and laughing-stock, he probably understands the truth & suffers from it, but he makes the situation worse every day. The best Trump could do is to resign and take Vance with him.

Day 1498 of my 3 day war. The bad news is Ukraine has hit the oil terminal on the Baltic coast for the 4th time this week. The good news soon Russians won't be able to talk about it as the internet will be shut down. I remain a master strategist.

Gata, a mai rezolvat Trump un război…Ar fi de râs, dacă n-ar fi de plâns.

Not a single good thing has happened under Trump. Not one. He will leave us with no jobs, a crashed economy, staggering deficit, skyrocketing food, gas, and healthcare costs, many new wars, our best weapons depleted, many soldiers killed and maimed, zero respect in the world, zero Epstein transparency, and the country torn apart. It's not Biden, Obama, Newsom, Schumer, Jefferies, or anyone else. Everything that's happening now, every damn thing... IS ON TRUMP.

BREAKING 🔴 RUSSIA: Mass casualty event declared after a Ukrainian drone strike hit one of Russia’s largest petrochemical complexes, Nizhnekamskneftekhim.

It's worth remembering that I invaded Ukraine to prevent them from getting weapons that could destroy things over 1000km inside Russia. I remain a master strategist.

Din ce traiti? Din mila lui Dumnezeu! 😂😂😂 50k pe luna de la PSD + 60k pe luna de la AUR! 🤣🤣🤣 din bani publici Manipularea, pardon patriotismul e pe bani multi!

Colonelul Tudor Pacuraru, colonel SRI in rezerva: Calin Georgescu a fost trecut in rezerva in 1996 pe probleme psihice! 🤣🤣🤣 I-au facut aia vant ca era nebun! 😂😂😂 Nici de securist sa nu fii bun mah! 🤣🤣🤣 asa ceva!

The Strait of Hormuz is not closed. It is sorted. Iran has built a three-tier access system for the most important waterway on earth. Tier one: allies transit free. Malaysia cleared seven vessels through diplomacy at zero cost. India negotiated zero-fee passage. Pakistan secured clearance for 20 ships. Iraq transits without charge. These countries proved geopolitical alignment and the IRGC waved them through the Larak corridor without collecting a rial. Tier two: compliant neutrals pay. At least two tankers, likely Chinese-linked, paid up to two million dollars each in yuan through Kunlun Bank intermediaries. COSCO container ships attempted the corridor, were turned back on first approach when documentation was incomplete, then succeeded days later with revised paperwork. These are the vessels that prove the system works. They submit IMO numbers, ownership chains, cargo manifests, and crew lists to the IRGC’s Hormozgan Command. They receive clearance codes. They are escorted by pilot boats through the five-nautical-mile channel between Qeshm and Larak. They pay in a currency that does not route through SWIFT. Every successful yuan transit is a live proof-of-concept for non-dollar energy settlement. Tier three: adversaries are denied entirely. The committee plan bans American vessels, Israeli vessels, and vessels from any country participating in sanctions against Iran. These ships do not get vetting. They do not get codes. They do not get escorts. They get the AL SALMI, burning off Dubai, as illustration of what the corridor looks like without permission. But the toll is not the real cost. War-risk insurance is. Premiums have surged from $40,000 per VLCC transit before the war to $600,000 to $1.2 million today, a 30-fold increase, now running five to ten percent of hull value. A VLCC carrying $50 million in crude oil can absorb a combined $3 million in toll and insurance as a fraction of cargo value. A container ship carrying $5 million in manufactured goods cannot. The insurance premium alone exceeds the profit margin on non-oil cargo. The strait has become an oil-only VIP lane. Crude flows selectively for those who can pay the combined cost. Everything else waits, reroutes around the Cape of Good Hope, or does not move at all. And the US Navy is not inside the strait. The Abraham Lincoln strike group operates from standoff in the Arabian Sea. Three Littoral Combat Ships sit in the Persian Gulf. Marine expeditionary units are positioned for contingency. But zero American warships have transited the strait or escorted commercial traffic since the war began. The Navy told the shipping industry it has “no availability” for Hormuz escorts. The world’s most powerful fleet keeps respectful distance from a waterway controlled by a country whose navy is 92 percent destroyed because the mines, drones, and shore missiles that remain make close-in presence prohibitively risky. The result is a geopolitical sorting algorithm operating at the molecular level. One hundred and eighty-one vessels transited in all of March. Pre-war traffic was 138 per day. Of those 181, roughly 70 percent were Iranian-affiliated. The remaining 30 percent were vetted allies or yuan-paying neutrals. The 20 percent of global oil that once flowed freely through this strait now flows selectively, conditionally, and in currencies chosen by Tehran. Iran lost its air force. It lost its navy. It lost two thirds of its production capacity. It retained the only thing that matters: 39 kilometres of coastline on both sides of the narrowest point. The US Navy will not enter. Chinese tankers will. And the sorting algorithm processes another vessel, collects another yuan payment, and demonstrates once more that geography is the one military asset that cannot be degraded by precision strikes. The strait is not closed. It is under new management. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

Ust-Luga in the Leningrad region looks like this after the successful Ukrainian attacks. The physical volume of Russian oil exports by sea has drastically decreased from 4.1 to 2.3 million barrels per day. In Primorsk, only 4 tankers were loaded instead of 10, and in Ust-Luga, only 2 instead of 8.

At the backdrop of Poland’s refusal to send a Patriot battery to the Middle East, remember: When more than 20 Russian drones violated Polish air space in summer 2025, Trump refused to condemn this obvious Russian provocation and excused Putin by calling it possible „mistake“.

TRUMP: “The world respects us right now more than they have ever respected us before.” - France: closes airspace to our military - Italy: closes their airbase to our military - Spain: closes their bases to our military - Poland: refuses to provide missile batteries to us. Trump doesn’t understand what respect means.

🇬🇧 There is no greater honor in British history than being lectured by a man convicted of 34 felony charges, indicted on 91 counts, found liable for sexual abuse, bankrupt six times, and famous for ringing newspapers pretending to be his own publicist to brag about his own money. That man just lost a war in Iran, tucked his tail between his legs, and is now crying about jet fuel while pointing at Britain and talking about courage. The self-proclaimed genius that 0.0000000002 percent of the world actually believes is a genius. Walking away from the Middle East with nothing but a Truth Social post and a bill nobody will pay. Frame this criticism, Charles. Put it above the fireplace. Then cancel the visit to the country with a wannabe king. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

Makes sense. 😂🤣👇

Gotta love Michael Shannon.💙 “He’s not my president. I will never call him the president of the United States.” 💯

Kaja Kallas and EU diplomats visited Bucha on the 4th anniversary of the massacre carried out there by the Russian army. We remind that during the occupation, more than 500 civilians were killed in the city and its community. After the liberation, evidence of mass killings, torture, mass graves, and bodies lying in the streets was discovered.
