Too on point not to share, “Aussie reply to Trump rant about NATO not being there for us. Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage. You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail. Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates. Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you. And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again. And you're calling Greenland poorly run? Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no. "NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years. And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess. So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your fucking mouth. Credit (borrowed from) Jim Scroggins - original author 📷 unknown”

This is the best medical expert breakdown of Trump’s BLASPHEMOUS tirade from last night I’ve seen. This guy, epistemiccrisis on IG, escaped MAGA and he’s been exposing MAGA and Trump’s symptoms of FTD. If you watch something today, let it be this. PS: the subtitles are GOLD.😂

Here is my favourite Chagos receipt though. This is Reform MP, Andrew Rosindell, writing to POTUS Joe Biden 6 years ago proposing the UK hands to Chagos islands to Mauritius and rents them back on a 99-year lease.

🚨 HOLY CRAP. President Trump just announced the U.S. is CLEARING OUT the Strait of Hormuz This is a massive surge! “We’re now starting the process of clearing out the Strait of Hormuz as a favor to Countries all over the World, including China, Japan, South Korea, France, Germany, and many others. Incredibly, they don’t have the Courage or Will to do this work themselves. Very interestingly, however, empty Oil carrying ships from many Nations are all heading to the United States of America to LOAD UP with Oil.“ “Their longtime “Leaders” are no longer with us, praise be to Allah!” “The Fake News Media has lost total credibility, not that they had any to begin with…they love saying that Iran is “winning” when, in fact, everyone knows that they are LOSING, and LOSING BIG!” “The only thing they have going is the threat that a ship may “bunk” into one of their sea mines which, by the way, all 28 of their mine dropper boats are also lying at the bottom of the sea.”

To our friends in Hungary, we hope you will vote for independent thinking and for someone who stands for Hungary First. We hope you will vote for my father’s friend and ally. One leader in Europe has a direct line to the White House, I hope you will support Viktor Orban! #Hungary

JD Vance has returned from Pakistan. With him came two estate agents. This is not the opening line of a joke, although I wish it were, because the punchline is catastrophic. They flew home with their tails between their legs after what the State Department will presumably describe as “productive preliminary discussions” and what the rest of the planet will recognise as being thrown out on your ear. Iran wanted, apparently, to watch a vice president and two men who normally sell semi-detached houses in Virginia try to look dignified while boarding a plane back to nowhere. And we all know what this means. The Strait of Hormuz will stay closed. Twenty percent of the world’s oil supply passes through a waterway roughly the width of a slightly ambitious motorway. Every time someone in Washington has a bad week, that waterway gets a bit narrower. Right now it is approximately the width of a letter box, and oil prices are doing what oil prices always do when adults are not in charge, which is going completely and utterly insane. Now. The estate agents. This is the detail that keeps me awake. Why does a peace delegation to one of the most strategically sensitive negotiations on earth require property professionals? I have been racking my brain. The only explanation that holds together, if you squint and tilt your head, is that someone was attempting to acquire a stake in some sort of Hormuz-adjacent enterprise. A port authority, perhaps. A logistics company. Something with the word “international” in the name and a chairman who wears a lot of gold. Trump getting into the ownership structure of the very chokepoint his military is supposedly fighting over would be, in any previous administration, the kind of thing that ended careers. In this one it is Tuesday. Iran, to their considerable credit, apparently noticed. Meanwhile, back home, the administration is talking about conscription. Actual conscription. The mandatory enrollment of young Americans into military service, which is either a sign of profound strategic confidence or the most terrifying admission of overextension in modern American history. I leave it to you to decide which, though I note that the people making this decision have children of precisely the wrong age and security details of precisely the right size. Seven billion people looked at Donald Trump and understood immediately what they were looking at. They had read the biography. They had watched the first term. They had seen a man attempt to remain in power by means that, in any country without America’s particular combination of luck and institutional stubbornness, would have succeeded. They filed this information away under “obvious.” Seventy million people looked at the same evidence and saw a genius. This is the central mystery of our age and I do not have a satisfying answer to it. What I do have is the image of a speeding car. It is travelling at a hundred and thirty kilometres per hour toward a cliff edge that is clearly visible from quite some distance. The people responsible for steering it are busy. They have calls to make, deals to structure, properties to value. The passengers are arguing about whether the driver is brilliant or misunderstood. Europe and Canada are standing at the side of the road watching Americans jog past with suitcases, looking for somewhere quieter to live. The cliff, for its part, is not moving.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Stay connected, Follow Gandalv @Microinteracti1

JD Vance flew to Budapest this week to campaign for Viktor Orbán, five days before the Hungarian election. Not as a private citizen. As Vice President of the United States. Let us be precise about what that means, because the words matter. Orbán has spent fifteen years turning Hungary into a one-party state with the trappings of elections. Controlled courts. Captured media. Gerrymandered constituencies. A leader who says the EU is a greater threat to Hungary than Russia,  while taking Russian gas, blocking EU sanctions, and vetoing military aid to Ukraine at every opportunity. This is what Vance flew in to endorse. This is what Trump called complete and total support. This is what Rubio came to validate in February. The analogy writes itself, and it is not comfortable. In 1956, Soviet tanks rolled into Budapest to crush a Hungarian uprising and keep a compliant government in power. The world was horrified. America condemned it as definitive proof of what the Soviet empire actually was beneath the slogans. Seven decades later, the United States is doing the political equivalent without the tanks but with the same logic: a great power intervening in a small country’s election to keep the right man in charge. The right man, in this case, being the one most useful to Moscow. That is the geometry of it. Vance spoke of Christian civilization and shared moral values while standing next to a man the European Union has spent years formally sanctioning for dismantling the rule of law. The same rule of law that America spent the entire Cold War telling the world was the thing that separated us from them. America used to be them’s biggest nightmare. It has become them. Europe has seen this before. Different flag, same playbook. The conclusion writes itself, and nobody in Brussels, Warsaw or Tallinn is struggling to reach it. This White House is not an ally. It is a subsidiary, and the parent company is in Moscow. Seventy years of partnership. Shredded in Budapest by a man who flew in from Washington to do Putin’s electoral errands..​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Stay informed, Follow Gandalv @Microinteracti1

Very Brexit Problems@VeryBrexitProbs·
MAGA calls Europe freeloaders. Here’s what they’re not telling you. ​1. Ramstein Air Base, the most important US military hub outside America, is built on German land provided rent-free, with Germany contributing hundreds of millions to its upkeep. The US couldn’t replace it anywhere in the world. 2. Every US military operation in the Middle East, Africa and Central Asia flows through Ramstein. Lose it and US power projection in the Eastern Hemisphere is crippled. 3. The UK provides and maintains RAF Lakenheath used almost entirely by the US Air Force. Italy provides Aviano. Greece provides Souda Bay. Turkey provides Incirlik. European land. European infrastructure. American operations. 4. The US Sixth Fleet depends entirely on European ports for fuel and supplies. Souda Bay, Naples, 11 Greek ports. Without them the Sixth Fleet cannot operate in the Mediterranean or project power into the Middle East. 5. The majority of NATO’s intelligence and surveillance capacity is hosted on European soil and fed directly to the CIA, NSA and Pentagon. 6. Early warning radar at Fylingdales, UK. Missile tracking in Greenland. Norwegian monitoring stations near Russia. All dependent on European goodwill. 7. It would cost America MORE to bring the troops home than keep them here. European hosts subsidise roughly a third of all basing costs. 8. Europe is America’s largest arms customer. Stop buying American and part of their defence industry goes bankrupt. 9. The bases aren’t charity. They’re America using European soil, European money and European goodwill to project power across the world. 10. We’re not the freeloaders.
