@MarioNawfal You may or may not be right. Time will tell.

🇨🇳🇮🇷 THE BIGGEST WINNER OF THIS WAR NEVER FIRED A SINGLE SHOT China has been Iran's largest oil buyer for years, its biggest trade partner, and the quiet architect behind a 25-year cooperation agreement that effectively anchored Tehran to Beijing before this war even started. Iran didn't enter this conflict alone. It entered it as a country whose economic lifeline runs heavily through China. Trump spent 40 days trying to force Hormuz open. He couldn't do it. The ceasefire came first, with the strait still under Iranian control, still running on Iranian terms, and with Iran charging tolls on vessels passing through. That showed the world that no one can actually stop Iran from controlling Hormuz, even after weeks of strikes. And Iran remains heavily dependent on Beijing for its oil exports and sanctions evasion. China just watched the United States spend $28 billion, lose aircraft, destroy bases, and exhaust its ammunition stockpiles... trying to secure a waterway that China now has more indirect leverage over than at any point in history. 20% of global oil flows through a strait that America couldn't pry open and that runs through the orbit of America's biggest rival. Beijing didn't fire a shot. Didn't spend a dollar. Didn't lose a single plane. It just watched, and waited, and won.

OMG. They broke the baseball bat during the unveiling of Ichiro Suzuki's statue at T-Mobile Park. 😂😂😂

@ianmiles She will sink Gavin

Gavin Newsom's wife is nothing more than a bunch of worn-out platitudes.

@Osint613 Kind of have to have a military to contribute…no?

Spain’s PM Sánchez says the country is ready to move toward a joint European army, “even tomorrow if needed.”

@WHLeavitt @antonioguterres Are those earrings bird feeders?

BREAKING: The United Nations is officially calling to isolate the United States. UN’s Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese, appointed by @antonioguterres, calls on the 192 member states to isolate America. Do you support the U.S. withdrawing from the UN? A. Yes. B. Nah.

@JoelTheDane @fandomsrandumb I guess if we are fighting Penguins, you got us there

@fandomsrandumb Canada has 18 ice breakers. The US has 3 old ones from the 70s and one is not operational. Canada is a much more important arctic ally than the US. Canada helps protect Greenland, US threatens Greenland. Canada good. USA very bad ‼️ 🫡🇨🇦🖕🇺🇸

Canada and Denmark patrolling Greenland 🇬🇱 TOGETHER 🇩🇰🫡🇨🇦

@MarioNawfal This may sound crazy, but doesn’t the US energy industry benefit from the closure?

🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iran didn't win the war militarily. It won it strategically. And that's the kind of victory that lasts. Tehran's goal was never to defeat the U.S. Air Force. It was to survive long enough for the economic pain to become unbearable for Washington. 38 days of closing Hormuz, spiking oil to $115, rattling every Gulf economy, and making Americans feel the war at the gas pump. One analyst put it simply: "They made sure the war was felt in the U.S. I don't think Trump's going to try that again." That sentence is the entire outcome of this war in 15 words. Iran emerged with two things it didn't have on February 28th. De facto control over the Strait of Hormuz with a framework to monetize it. And a proven deterrent that makes any future large-scale attack carry a price tag no American president will want to pay. The U.S. and Israel struck 12,300+ targets, sank much of Iran's navy, killed its Supreme Leader, and degraded its missile stockpiles. By every traditional military metric, they dominated. And yet the ceasefire happened on a timeline Trump didn't choose, under conditions Iran proposed, with the Strait still in Tehran's hands. This is the part that should concern everyone most. The regime emerged more hardline, not less. The IRGC has more power than before the war. The new Supreme Leader is taking a harder stance than his father. And the protesters who rose up hoping American bombs would bring freedom are now being hunted as potential spies. The war was supposed to weaken Iran and strengthen American leverage. Iran is now collecting tolls on the world's most important waterway. The war was supposed to create conditions for regime change. The regime is more entrenched than ever. The war was supposed to end Iran's nuclear ambitions. Tehran says it will keep enriching. Every stated objective failed. The one unstated objective, Hormuz leverage over China, was handed to Iran instead. Source: WSJ

@VeryBrexitProbs Starmer just told Russia that the British Navy would seize Russian tankers. Putin sends tankers with an escort right past the UK and you did nothing. Better sit this one out

MAGA thinks Europe can't defend itself without America. Here's what they don't know. 1. France and Britain have 515 nuclear warheads and 8 nuclear missile submarines. 2. European defence spending hit €481 billion this year. That's more than Russia and China spend combined. The EU's ReArm Europe plan is mobilising another €800 billion. 3. European countries have over 1.7 million active troops. Russia has 1.3 million. 4. EU and UK air forces fly over 1,400 combat aircraft. Their navies have five aircraft carriers, over 60 submarines, more than 120 frigates and destroyers. 5. Europe has over 6,000 artillery pieces and that's before the biggest rearmament wave since the Cold War. Poland alone is adding 212 new howitzers. 6. The British SAS invented modern special forces. The US copied them to build Delta Force. From France's Foreign Legion to Poland's GROM, Europe's elite units are among the deadliest on earth. 7. Europe already has joint military commands ready to fight. The UK leads a 10-nation rapid reaction force across Northern Europe and the Arctic. Finland alone can mobilise 900,000 trained reservists all prepared to fight in arctic conditions. 8. Europe has its own satellite navigation (Galileo), its own defence programme (75 active projects) and is building its own rapid deployment force. The "helpless Europe" story was never about defence. It was about keeping Europe dependent and buying American weapons, relying on American intelligence, following American foreign policy. Thanks to Trump, that now ends.

@FrankVanmeenen @MattHay35 Isn’t Ukraine getting support from the US…especially intelligence data?

@MattHay35 Think again. Russia can’t beat Ukraine. Imagine fighting Europe. They won’t. Apologies accepted.

Nato without the US and with Ukraine would be better.

@Wescott464348 Macron is a Pussy, Period

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, French President Emmanuel Macron just delivered the most powerful rebuke of Donald Trump we've seen yet. This is incredible. Macron says, "Trump is a bully. Period." Raise your hand if you agree ✋

@TheTIGriff @Mintyforeva @swterry911 @BROKENBRITAIN0 When Starmer said he would seize Russian tankers who went through the channel and Putin did it. Remind me of how that turned out I forgot. We won’t “brainwash you” that Russia is the enemy. Pathetic.

@PalmerZippy @Mintyforeva @swterry911 @BROKENBRITAIN0 The average European is waking up to bullish Americans, brainwashing us that Russia and China are the enemies. Who was the last country China bombed??

🚨BREAKING: Keir Starmer has said he is “fed up” with Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 🇷🇺 "I'm fed up with the fact that families across the country see their bills go up and down on energy businesses bills go up and down on energy because of the actions of Putin or Trump across the world"

@BritishBastardX @killemall2024 That part is true. We like legals who assimilate. However, Americans have problems when immigrants don’t assimilate or are illegal (at least those who are conservatives). We are kicking out via ICE illegals, what’s UK/Europe’s plan? Seems like Starmer’s answer is to cave.

@killemall2024 The US is closer to having a white minority than the UK.

Americans like to have a laugh at the UK "You gave away your guns, what do you expect" I dont remember any americans doing fuck all under biden? You had guns, you had your free speech protected by a constitution & you still let millions of immigrants in to your country. Am i missing something here....

@BritishBastardX @Rightmemer1 We didn’t revolt militarily but in the ballot box when it was time. What’s your excuse?

@Rightmemer1 Eventually....

@IanJaeger29 Starmer is fed up with Trump because he exposed Starmer and the rest of Western Europe. All Western Europe needs to learn are 2 words: “Alluha Akbar”

BREAKING: Keir Starmer says that he’s “fed up” with the actions of President Trump.

@TheTIGriff @Mintyforeva @swterry911 @BROKENBRITAIN0 Part2: Where the US military screwed up is not understanding the importance of drones in war. Once we mastered that issue we are fine. European military has been too dependent on US. And to be honest, show little respect for the US. So, stiffing the US from airspace is a mistake

@TheTIGriff @Mintyforeva @swterry911 @BROKENBRITAIN0 The average European wants to shut down fossil fuels and shut down Nuclear Plants. Hey, we are not the ones freaking out about Ukraine. Note the relationship of Trump to Zelenskyy. We’re carrying Europe’s water. UK barely has a military and will take a decade to one.

@Mintyforeva @TheTIGriff @swterry911 @BROKENBRITAIN0 Mint 100%. They look down on America. Life is about to change for them and what they have taken for granted, will become apparent. Depends on how far Trump goes. The average American is starting to see what the relationship is

@TheTIGriff @swterry911 @BROKENBRITAIN0 Why would the US pay? That's your job!! we pay for our situations. The entitlement from Europe is insane

@WallStreetMav I hope we leave. They all can have their No-Go Zone members protect themselves from their eastern neighbors

German Chancellor Merz: “We do not want a division of NATO.” He is now nervous that Germany will lose its free defense sugar daddy. Marco Rubio is suggesting consideration US forces in European countries that are helpful.
