It is interesting how NATO's possible collapse is presented as solely Europe's problem, thereby justifying American pressure and threats on allies. In reality, a breakdown of NATO, an alliance of 32 members, would be a major strategic loss for the United States. The damage would not be limited to losing allies in Europe; as NATO gives Washington a large, institutionalised bloc of advanced economies and militaries that amplifies US power. If that structure unravelled, the US would lose a force multiplier at least across five main dimensions and would face : 1) harder military problems: The US would lose military access (the current situation with Spain, Italy and Poland gives a taste of what that would be like), and would lose interoperability and command advantages 2) higher budgetary burdens over time: removing the alliance architecture would force Washington to compensate for lost allied capability and lost access; allies would, in time, buy weapons from elsewhere; (it would be cheaper to repair the current rupture) 3) reduced geopolitical influence: US global credibility would be damaged far beyond Europe 4) greater economic exposure to European instability 5) weaker global deterrence against revisionist powers, which would not make the US homeland any safer The overall strategic impact would be severe, making the US considerably weaker diplomatically.

Ah, a German chimes in. Yes, someone from a country that pre-eminently funded the Russian war machine deserves to lecture others. But if Russia does come for Western Europe you know they’ll have to chew through the Ukrainians and the Poles first. Everyone else paying the price for dumb German decisions.

It’s so terrible to read this nonsense. The Russians have poisoned you with your president — he’s destroying the USA, and you’re all just watching. NATO partners pay for these security guarantees; the trade gifts from NATO partners to the USA make up 500 billion of the GDP. Who is telling you this nonsense that you’re doing something for free? It’s the doctrine of your grandfathers — you’re destroying it, and yourselves along with it… with love to the American people 🙏

Truth nuke for Europe 🇪🇺: From a military standpoint, American security guarantees are worth 10 times more than French ones. America is - by far - our most valuable ally. We should treat them as such.

Just imagine what the Chicoms are thinking right now. They lost Venezuela. They’re losing Iran and Cuba. And after years of trying and failing to influence Americans, they have to watch us exchange steak pics with the Japanese.

I’m almost disappointed China is learning none of their weapons work against us in Venezuela and Iran, instead of in an actual war with us, but this has probably deterred an invasion of Taiwan for at least a few years. They now have real world evidence of what will happen. Their “advanced” radars will be reduced to lawn ornaments, their “carrier killer” missiles will uselessly in the water, and our planes will dominate their skies unchecked. Second Century of Humiliation. Trust the plan.

hot speculation rn: 1. J20 is a F35 clone 2. china made radars systems using J20 to test 3. radars could detect J20 4. PLA inferred they could therefore detect F35 5. problem: J20 is a shitty clone with a dump truck ass 6. probably J20 just sucks and the radars just suck

The EU saw an opportunity to take a swing at Trump so they convinced Lloyd's to take the most absurd stance on maritime insurance possible. They were actually helping Iran in the war by creating a fake oil crisis. All because the EU doesn't want to live in a world where America finally embraces its rightful station as the author of this era of global history. But alas, Trump can remain stubborn for longer than the EU can remain solvent.

I don't like to say what I'm about to say because I don't want to amplify the damage these people have already done But I speak and work with Christian men daily, and it's really hard to understate the absolute destruction the grifters, hypocrites, and cowards are causing to people's faith. Christianity is suffering a serious brand crisis right now in no small part because the lack of masculine energy in the Church has taken away not only its standards but its sense of direction, and with this increasingly its social purpose. I want to say before I go into this I am Christian not simply due to the Gospel's epistemological truths, but because I have been experienced the Holy Spirit first hand But on a practical basis the Church itself seems incapable of helping to orient people, particularly men of spirit, to respond to the challenges of the day. It does not help them to find spouses, and the "help" it does give usually sets them up for failure. Moreover the general unwillingness to offend anyone means they are not preparing these men to navigate the world or face the growing civilizational crisis. Many parishes are actively subversive, the bread and butter are either sterile or resemble a sales conference, and tragically the ones that are actually sober and serious are usually focused on retreating inward into dogma and ritual than engaging in the culture. In one form or another, it seems the plot has been lost, at least as it pertains to saving society at large. I know there are exceptions to this across denominations, and there are great men working to remasculinize and restore the religion, whether from the pulpit or congregation. These men are doing God's work and deserve our support. I don't want to diminish them or their efforts But I admit I am personally discouraged with what I have seen. The best men I know are Christian, but none of their manly qualities were cultivated in the Church, and their wives were always met in more secular contexts. They invariably became more religious later in response to the left's evil and the collapse going on around them, hoping to find a spiritual home, but have shared with me their frustrations at the lukewarm, henpecked guys they encounter there I know many Christians will shrug about all of this and try to tell me that the point of Church is the Word or the Sacrament, and the rest of what's going on is "worldly" and doesn't matter But candidly this feels like a cop out based on the role the Church has historically played, and doesn't speak to me or my heart. And I know I am not the only western man who feels this way. We are facing an existential crisis - between collapsing birthrates and mass migration, the frayed social fabric, broken trust between the sexes - we are under attack. I want a Church that will call me to higher action on these problems, to offer hope that we can solve them - to encourage boldness because that is what God requires of us to face evil This courage seems rare today, and the lectures I am offered instead feel shallow and oblivious

Christian young men are mortified of getting Sarah Stocked. Better off marrying the bartender. Sorority girl. Cheerleader. Pageant model. Etc. “Church is a reformed ex-brothel,” one anonymous Zoomer told me yesterday.

These despicable political tourists will shake hands with regime apparatchiks, bask in the Caribbean sun, take selfies at the Che Guevara monument, and then return to a free country, leaving the Cuban people to rot in a communist hell hole.

@simongerman600 @barnes_law Yeah because the tech available to the US military in 2026 is the same as Vietnam, right lol? The current leaders are far more capable than those in Vietnam. And Trump isn’t planning for a full scale invasion of Iran (he doesn’t need to). Nice try though.

Look at the size of Vietnam in green. Then look at Iran in blue. The US only had troops in half of Vietnam and peak strength was 580K. The idea of fighting a ground war in Iran as Trump is suggesting sounds rather adventurous to me. Great use of a size comparison map by @NavyStrang btw!

To some European or NATO leaders: No one said, Go to battle against Iran. But come, defend your bread, your water, your medicine. Fight your own fight and do not expect the hand of another, neither the Americans nor any, to do it for you. You are timid. Liars. Pharisees of diplomacy, preaching virtue while sowing death through inaction. Yes, Iran is dangerous with its missiles and drones. But when the nations marched against Libya to strike down Qaddafi, no fear of danger stopped them. Yet Libya did not close the Strait of Hormuz, did not choke 13% of EU gas, 4% of its oil, and did not hold humanitarian aid ransom. Compare the deeds! One dictator killed far fewer than the regime in Iran, which has spilled the blood of millions, Christians, Muslims, Jews, Americans, French, Germans, all nations under heaven. And you, O Europe, you want all the fruit but fear the thorns. You tremble at terminology, yet your deeds cry louder: timidity. You would let the region burn beneath the Iranian scourge, yet wag a finger and preach restraint. Grow up, leftist leaders. This is not revenge on Trump for his Ukraine stance. For once, act like leaders, not teenagers with hormones. Act like shepherds of your people, not goats led by whims. The UAE said it: we can stand, alongside the nations, to guard the Strait of Hormuz. Iran hurled its darts and fires upon us. We stopped Iran where it tried to stop us. Call us the Sparta of the Middle East, for we guard the gates while you hide behind scrolls and speeches. Remember: the flow of trade and the lifeblood of nations is a trust for all, not a responsibility for the idle. The river of commerce flows only when the hands of the brave keep the way clear, not when the timid pray from afar.

If you hate Israel or Jewish people please do me a huge favor and fuck off. That also includes all you idiots who think we are bombing the shit out of Iran just because Israel said so. I really don’t care how many of you unfollow me. I am tired of hearing this nonsense. Sincerely fuck off.

This is a funny take: If a communist country is not allowed to engage in free trade or capital markets with a capitalist country, communism fails and it’s the capitalist’s fault.
David Adler@davidrkadler

We are laying siege to the island of Cuba, turning off the lights in homes, hospitals, and the country's most critical infrastructure. These are war crimes: lethal, cruel, and criminal acts of collective punishment. It is sociopathy dressed up as foreign policy.

This is a shameful moment in Western history, leaders standing like frightened cowards before the Islamist jihadist rats ruling Iran. Starmer in Britain. The German Chancellor. They want the oil. The gas. The markets. But when it comes to defending it? Silence. Cowardice. Excuses. At the same time they rush to talk with the Islamic regime in Iran. So let’s be clear: Zero friendship. Zero loyalty. Zero respect for their own interests or for the civilization they claim to defend. Do not speak to us again about friendship. Do not lecture the world about freedom. We watched you stand against your closest ally, America, while hoping the Islamist regime in Iran wins this confrontation.

Imagine you had to choose your life at age 40: Option A: Single. No kids. $10M net worth. Travel anywhere. Total freedom. Quiet house. Quiet holidays. Option B: Married. 3 kids. $1M net worth. Drive a Toyota. Chaos every morning. Loud house. Full dinner table. Be honest, which life are you choosing?
