@aj_inapi The real reasons for starting the war: - distraction off the Epstein files - Insider trading again to enrich friends and family. - blindly following Israel to please its Israeli financiers - stupidiy

Did President Trump know his approval rating could drop if he approved Operation Epic Fury? YES. Did he know it could split his base? YES. Did he know some people would blame Israel? YES. Did he know the media and Democrats would try to sabotage the operation politically? YES. Did he know oil and gas prices might temporarily rise? YES. Was he probably advised not to do it? Very likely. Did he receive the same intelligence briefings every President has received for the past 47 years? YES. So the real question is not what did he know? The real question is: Why did he do it anyway? COURAGE. The same courage that made him stand up in Butler after being shot and say: “Fight, Fight, Fight.” The same courage that made him run for re-election after: ~ Two impeachments ~ Endless investigations ~ FBI raids ~ Court cases ~ Media attacks every single day ~ Being banned from social media ~ Assassination attempts ~ Political lawfare designed to bankrupt and imprison him Most politicians protect their approval rating. Most politicians protect their career. Most politicians follow the polls. Most politicians do what is safe. Leaders do what they believe is necessary, even when it is unpopular. Trump is not a politician. He is a leader. And leaders don’t make decisions based on polls. They make decisions based on what they believe is right for the country - even if it costs them politically. That’s the difference.

@DX_Alphafg Well, it takes sacrifice to enrich yourself on the backs of your people. It takes devotion to betray your country to the Russians. And it will be hard to cover up your pedophilic actions. Yes, Donald, you have to be willing to make sacrifices; it doesn't happen by itself.

Melania Trump has spoken out publicly in defense of her husband, delivering an emotional statement that has quickly drawn attention across the political landscape. “What is happening to my husband goes far beyond ordinary criticism. It has become deeply personal and, in many ways, profoundly unfair to a man who has devoted decades of his life to public service. I often ask myself how people can be so relentless. They are attacking a leader who carries immense responsibility every day — someone who works under constant pressure, scrutiny, and expectations that very few people could truly understand. Donald has never asked for sympathy, and he has never blamed others. Instead, he continues to work and lets his actions speak for themselves.” “To me, Donald is more than just a president. He is a determined, disciplined, and resilient man. Rather than magnifying every mistake or adding more pressure through endless headlines and debates, people should recognize the sacrifices and strength it takes to stand at the center of such intense public attention. He does not fight simply for power — he fights because he genuinely believes in the future of this nation.”

@drG_J_Mulder Op zich heb je gelijk. Maar markten en mensen passen zich aan omdat ze angstig zijn en omdat ze dreiging serieus nemen. Dit soort ontwikkelingen licht opvatten en niet serieus nemen leidt niet tot verandering maar verergert alleen maar. Dus angst heeft een functie.

De wereld vergaat. Althans, dat denken ze. Er is altijd wel iets aan de hand. Maar wie het nieuws volgt, zou denken dat we aan de vooravond staan van een totale implosie. De NAVO valt uit elkaar, Donald Trump is de controle kwijt, het Midden Oosten staat op ontploffen, de wereldeconomie wankelt en binnenkort kunnen mensen geen benzine meer tanken. Het klinkt alsof het deze keer echt anders is. Maar dat is precies wat men altijd zegt. De menselijke geest trekt rechte lijnen door de toekomst. Wat vandaag gebeurt, wordt morgen erger en overmorgen catastrofaal. Mogelijkheden worden zekerheden. Neem olie en transport. Ja, er is onrust. Maar schepen varen nog steeds, routes worden aangepast en markten reageren razendsnel. De wereldhandel stort niet in bij de eerste verstoring. Ze past zich aan. Dat is keer op keer zichtbaar geweest. Tijdens crises, oorlogen en financiële schokken werd telkens het einde voorspeld. En telkens bleek het systeem veerkrachtiger dan gedacht. Niet omdat er geen problemen zijn, maar omdat mensen en markten zich aanpassen. De werkelijkheid is zelden zo extreem als het verhaal. Escalatie naar het uiterste blijft mogelijk, maar is historisch gezien uitzonderlijk. Juist omdat de gevolgen zo groot zijn, worden er bijna altijd grenzen ingebouwd. Landen balanceren, onderhandelen en zoeken uitwegen. Niet uit idealisme, maar uit eigenbelang. En toch verwacht men het ergste. Omdat angst zwaarder weegt dan nuance. Omdat doemdenken aandacht trekt. En omdat het een vreemd gevoel van controle geeft om het ergste alvast te zien aankomen. Maar zien aankomen is nog geen begrijpen. Wat zich nu afspeelt is geen uitzondering, maar een herhaling. Spanningen en onzekerheden horen bij een wereld die voortdurend in beweging is. Wie daar telkens het einde in ziet, vergist zich. De wereld is niet stabiel, maar wel robuust. Niet rustig, maar wel veerkrachtig. Zoals Sadhguru het kernachtig zegt, de meeste mensen maken zich uiterst bezorgd over dingen die nooit, lees nooit, zullen gebeuren. Misschien is dat wel de grootste constante van deze tijd. Niet dat de wereld instort, maar dat men dat telkens weer denkt. Dr Gert Jan Mulder

@Rturnbull123 @anders_aslund You’re to dumb to shit.

@anders_aslund Trump is the only one seeking peace on ukraine. Both sides must make concessions. Europe is war mongering and sabotaging peace negotiations behind trumps back But expect usa to keep pouring money into a lost cause And openly sabotaging iran war by emboldening a terrorist state

I hope this statement is the end of Rubio in Europe: 1. Trump has insisted on annexing Canada & Greenland, which are part of NATO. That aggression is impermissible. 2. The main threat to European security is Russia's aggression against Ukraine & Europe. Your National Security Strategy ignores that and claims that Europe is the main threat. 3. The US has cut off all assistance to Ukraine. 4. The US has voted with Russia & a dozen of its rouge states in the UN claiming that Russia did not pursue a war of aggression against Ukraine. 5. NATO Article 5 has only been invoked once, but the US in 2001 after 9/11 & the whole of NATO stood up for the US. 6. Trump has repeatedly insulted the allies that lost about 1,000 soldiers for the US in Afghanistan. 7. Trump has all along claimed that NATO allies do not pay their share of NATO costs, which is untrue. They are now spending more on their own defense because nobody trusts the US under Trump. 8. Trump incessantly insults NATO allies for no reason. If you don't know how to behave, you deserve no sympathy or support. 9. The US started a mad war of aggression on Iran without consulting any allies but Israel. Immediately afterwards Trump started insulting allies as usual. 10. Trump's war on Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz & is causing a global economic crisis, which is entirely due to the stupidity and power of Trump, but you are defending this atrocity. If you don't know how to think or behave, shut up!

@realMAG1775 You’re so stupid! If US closes their base in Europe the lose their bridgehead to a great part of the world. There will be no easy access to the middle east. And they will not be able to fight wars in a great part of the world. There’s a reason why US wanted to use those bases.

Close every damn U.S. base in Europe. If we keep one, make a bilateral deal with Germany and charge them full freight. NATO is a welfare scam. They ghosted us on the Strait of Hormuz while we carry their lazy asses. Spain banned our bombers. Italy locked bases. Britain waffled. We station 100,000 troops so they can under-spend on defense and lecture us on climate. Enough. Bring our boys home. End the freeloader alliance.

@MaestrodeTejas @AriFleischer Poland loves you so much that they refused to give you their Patriots you’ve asked for. They hate Trump the most of all. They hate him because his a puppet from Putin.

@AriFleischer I'm going all in on Poland. Their rise has been inspiring, and no matter how much they say otherwise, you KNOW the Russians are terrified of them. And, as you point out, they love us.

When this is over, the western part of NATO will never be the same. Spain, England, France and Italy have sold us out, as they too often have a history of doing. Eastern European nations are the heart of NATO. They spend money on defense, know how to fight and love the US. France particularly deserves fault and blame. From supporting China and Russia at the UN to denying Americans overflight rights, they’re doing what they’ve always done - showing weakness, while cutting deals with terrorists. (The reason the US has a Marine Corps and Navy is unlike France, we refused to pay a ransom to the Barbary Pirates. France is always happy to cut a deal.) Wars have unintended consequences as nations show their true colors. NATO will never be the same, and Western European weakness and acquiescence is the cause.

@q94YaHZZfZcuzMA @EthanLevins2 What an idiot that Hegseth. We declare war on your country, we drop bombs on a girl school. We kill your supreme leader. But you are not allowed to shoot back. Then we get mad at you and will bomb you.

@EthanLevins2 Reports claim a U.S. F-15 has been downed over Iran. 2 things you can count on: - Our pilots will NEVER be left behind - Those responsible will be killed Pete Hegseth: If you kill Americans, we will hunt you down without apology, without hesitation, and we will kill you.

Why is the U.S. using F15’s? It’s 54 years old, there’s so many more advanced and stealth jets to use. I’m confused why they are using such ancient jets.

@Harrisbro777 Last week there was a NATO meeting with 33 countries. USA was not there because Trump thinks it’s a paper tiger. During that meeting they agreed that diplomacy is the way to re-open the street of Harmuz. Today French executed and proved it. Trump fucked up again.

FRANCE JUST SIDED WITH RUSSIA AND CHINA AGAINST THE US AT THE UN France is a NATO ally. A NATO ally just blocked an American resolution at the United Nations. Alongside Russia. Alongside China. The Strait of Hormuz carries 20% of the world's oil. Iran has shut it down for US and Israeli ships. Nobody at the UN will authorize force to reopen it. Not even America's own ally. Hours after France blocked the vote, Iran let a French ship through the strait. France cut a deal with Iran behind America's back. Let that sink in.

@sflorimm The funny thing is that all these technologies depend on state-of-the-art chips. Chips that are made by machines from ASML. A Dutch company. They have a monopoly and everyone depends on them. So your condescending tone is arrogant and misplaced.

@MykhailoRohoza Trump is getting into trouble. SA will no longer buy US weapons. Europe won’t. The US weapons lobby is powerfull and will not like it. It’s a matter of time that Trump will be impeached.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, on behalf of Donald Trump, expressed regret that the Saudi authorities signed defense agreements with Ukraine without consulting the United States, which had been Saudi Arabia’s main ally. In response, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman noted that the U.S. had failed to fully protect the Kingdom from Iranian strikes, and therefore Saudi Arabia made a decision that could quickly strengthen its defense capabilities. The Crown Prince also stated that his country will continue to be guided by its own national interests when making decisions regarding its defense. This was a slap in the face to Trump from Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in response to Trump’s crude and scandalous public statement that “…now let the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia kiss my ass and be polite to me from now on.” Thus, Trump’s reckless and irresponsible remarks have effectively put U.S.–Saudi relations on pause. The Saudi Crown Prince proved to be more diplomatic than the American president and, notably, did not respond to Rubio by saying that Trump should “kiss my ass” and behave politely toward him in the future 😉

@Brandon64249614 @SkyNews @GarethBarlow Take the Island and be a sitting duck. Iran will send, Rockets, missiles and drones all day and night. And if Israel deploys nukes they will loose everything they’ve build up the last 60 years. And USA will loose the last littlebit of allies and business partners they have.

So if you're not an American let me explain what this means you don't think we know that we're not having serious peace talks this is a very Stark warning they have two days tops no water no electricity and we're taking the island if we do not Israel will deploy a nuclear weapon.

BREAKING: Donald Trump has posted on his Truth Social saying the U.S. is in 'serious discussions' to end the war in Iran, and that 'great progress has been made'. Sky's @GarethBarlow reports. trib.al/VNwBMKe 📺 Sky 501, Virgin 602, Freeview 233 and YouTube

@JoeCool_SC @EricLDaugh It’s not an accusation. It’s an observation. It’s the reporters job to ask questions. In every democracy the free press is there to question the leadership and to check on there acts.

@EricLDaugh Why do reporters bury accusations in their questions? Ending the question with “How did you not plan for this?” was an unnecessary accusation. This is how fake news operates.

🚨 REPORTER: We aren't escorting ships in the Strait of Hormuz. Why?! How did you not plan for this?! SECWAR PETE HEGSETH: "We PLANNED for it. We recognize it. Because ultimately we want to do it sequentially in a way that makes the most sense for what we want to achieve and ensure that we're sending the right signals to the world when we do so." "It's like this whole idea of the war 'widening.' That's what the press wants to make it look like, like it's widening, and chaos." "No, we're actually closing in on grabbing hold of and controlling what objectives we want to achieve and how we want to achieve them." "It's called shaping operations and setting the conditions." "Foolish political leaders and foolish military leaders of the past will hang an exact deadline on it, or here's exactly when we'll do what we're gonna do, or here's how long it's gonna take us." "And then if you meet that, maybe you meet it. But if you don't, you fail, and if you're far beyond." "The interagency the Strait of Hormuz is something we've paid attention to from the beginning and the American people can rest assured we will ensure that our interests are advanced."

@janintheUSA @Strijder124 @ockhams De enige reden dat de Winter Trump en deze aanval ondersteund is de Joodse zaak. Hij weet net zo goed als ieder ander dat Trump een gevaarlijke gek is. Maar omdat hij Iran aanvalt de Joodse aartsvijand is Winter voor.

@Strijder124 @ockhams Dit is de eerste Nederlander die ik hoor praten en groot kan denken, strategie begrijpt en het begrijpt. Ook typisch dat de eerste reactie daarop ook meteen weer laat zien hoe kinderachtig en klein ze zijn en dit nog steeds niet doorhebben.

Leon de Winter over Trump: "Zeer succesvol, een man die verschrikkelijk goed weet hoe hij de media bespeelt en zijn tegenstanders helemaal krankzinnig maakt." "Hij woont zoals dat heet 'rent free' in heel veel linkse hoofden. Zonder er iets voor te doen hangt hij continu in het hoofd van veel tegenstanders, Trump dit en Trump zo." - En al die andere dingen waar we dagelijks met Trump mee bezig zijn. Allemaal gekke filmpjes op sociale media waarin hij de Obama's discrimineert. "Dat is 'rent free' wonen in jouw hoofd. Ik hoorde het gisteravond ook in een talkshow met Rob de Wijk, de grote geopolitieke kenner, die het niet begreep. De ene keer zegt Trump A en dan zegt hij weer B. Hij heeft toch niet de verplichting om Rob de Wijk uit te leggen dat als hij A zegt, dat hij bij A blijft? Hij manipuleert, het is spel." "En hij is bezig om die grote verschrikkelijk gevaarlijke samenwerking voor het Westen, Rusland, Iran, China en Noord-Korea om die uit elkaar te spelen. Het is heel ingewikkeld. Zijn grote opgave is of hem het gaat lukken om Poetin los te krijgen uit die club." "Hij heeft een geniaal team om zich heen verzameld en die is bezig de rol van het Amerikaanse imperium te bestendigen. En godzijdank, want we hebben maar drie smaken de Russische smaak, de Chinese smaak en de Amerikaanse smaak. Laten we blij zijn dat ze daaraan werken, dat Amerika niet ondermijnd wordt."

@Janaigayl @eurofounder @Lyndonx You can't compare all Europeans to this idiot. Surely not all Americans are pedophiles and self-enriching criminals like Trump?

@eurofounder @Lyndonx This is why European countries are doomed ! Being overrun with illegal migration. Ignorant left wing stupidity will be your downfall!

I witnessed a stabbing in Berlin city center today Police pulled me aside "Can you describe the attacker?" "Tall. Maybe 180cm. Black jacket." "What was his ethnicity?" "I'm sorry?" I asked, shocked at this racially motivated question "Was he white? Black? Arab?" "I don't see how that's relevant" I replied "You're right" the officer agreed, and closed his notebook "I hope you find whoever did this using non-discriminatory policing methods" I said Justice will come. But it must come without bias The quiet racism of law enforcement is never an answer

@JohnJewel1611 @eurofounder @Lyndonx You can't compare all Europeans to this idiot. Surely not all Americans are pedophiles and self-enriching criminals like Trump?

@eurofounder @Lyndonx I thought you were joking. What an idiot. Europe is finished. I’m shocked that you did not object to the use of pronouns!!

@JoeyMannarino Idiot, more then 50% of the Italian export is to EU. Don’t bite the hand that feeds you.

Italy has just overtaken Japan and become the fourth-largest exporter of goods in the world. Only China, the United States and Germany are beating it now in terms of exports. It took Meloni three years to get that back on track. Imagine what she could do for the country if she didn’t have that demon Ursula von der Leyen breathing down her neck. Meloni, leave the ECHR and become the true hero the Italians need. Then deport, deport, deport! We’re so close!

@EliteMan091 @MAGAVoice Yeah sure and the Nigerian oil is a nice bonus. Don’t be so naive. You’re brainwashed by the MAGA cult.

President Trump is the only leader who has the courage to stand with persecuted Christians around the world. While the globalists have turned their backs for years, DJT is sending a clear message, You will not get away with killing our Christian brothers and sisters. This is not just a military action, it is a moral fight. God bless our troops and President Trump.

BREAKING 🚨 President Trump stuns the world by announcing 200 troops will be deployed to Nigeria to train forces to destroy terr*rists k*lling Christians PROTECT CHRISTIANS AT ALL COSTS CHRIST IS KING 🙏

@InsideLucysHead You just proved the point. America is the stupidest. Europe isn’t a country.

I'm American, and I'm sick of hearing that America is the stupidest country in the world... Personally, I think Europe is the stupidest country in the world.

@MichelleRM68 Wow, so in the USA there’s no freedom of thinking and no freedom of speach anymore? She isn’t allowed to think different? You’re hoping she’s gonna lose because she doesn’t support your fake President. Who are you to decide who’s qualified to speak. You are a disgrace.

🚨NEW: USA figure skater Amber Glenn say the queers are having a “hard time” in Trump’s America. I really hope this bi*ch loses. She's a DISGRACE! One would think such a homophobic administration wouldn't pick a gay man, Scott Bessent, to be Secretary of Treasury, one of the most powerful roles in D.C. so there's that.🤦‍♀️ This is EXACTLY why athletes and or entertainers should listen to people like Billy Bob Thornton and Ricky Gervais. "You're not qualified to speak on any of these issues and know NOTHING about the real world, take your little trophy and fuck off!"🏆

@HarryPater62 @DZevenbergen Als hij niet mag bepalen hoe jij je mag voelen. Wie ben jij dan om voor hem te bepalen dat dit niet racistisch is? Trump is een enorme racist, populist die zichzelf verrijkt over de rug van zijn volk. Dat mag jij prima vinden. Zoals een ander dat heel slecht vindt.

@DZevenbergen Dat jij kunt bepalen hoe ik me ga voelen als ik een of ander filmpje zou zien? 🤣 Ga lekker aan je quinoa salade en verslik je in een macrobiotisch kappertje man. Oetlul.

Dit is het hele filmpje. Het is satire waar verschillende politici in voorkomen. Meer bedoeld om aan te geven dat de politiek een jungle is. Alleen de paar seconden over Obama worden dan uitvergroot. Hier is niets mis mee!!
