🚨 JUST IN: First Lady Melania Trump just WALKED OUT with an American-built humanoid robot at the White House, for a Fostering the Future AI education event Classiest first lady ever 🇺🇸

@MarioNawfal Switch to Claude

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump's team is shopping for Iran's next leader and they just named their favorite Politico reports the White House is quietly evaluating Iran's Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf as a potential post-war partner. One official called him "a hot option." The administration is explicitly modeling this on Venezuela, where they installed a cooperative leader who gave Washington favorable oil terms in exchange for staying in power. The most revealing quote came from an official describing the selection process: "As people rise, we'll do a quick test, and if they're radical, we'll take them out." Yep... that's an American official casually describing assassination as a job interview elimination round. Reza Pahlavi, the exiled crown prince, is officially off the table. Instead they want someone already inside the system who can cut a deal. This confirms exactly what this war was always building toward. Not regime change. Regime adjustment. Keep the structure, swap the driver, secure the oil terms, and call it peace. Whether Ghalibaf, who publicly denies any talks and threatened to target U.S. Treasury bondholders last week, is actually willing to play ball is the literal trillion dollar question. Source: Politico

This is an obvious assessment. The leadership is gutted. No one knows what comes next. The apparent regime consolidation is just wartime nationalism, nothing more. Time to end the active phase of this campaign and wait to see what comes out on the other side. If it isn't favorable, then you know what to do.

🚨 BREAKING: Israeli assessment — Iran regime collapse won’t happen during the war Officials say any collapse is expected months after, not during active fighting. The strategy: • War weakens the regime • Economic pressure breaks it A key target: Kharg Island, Iran’s main oil terminal. ➡️ Cut the oil → cut the money → internal pressure rises

Big elections day today! My support goes to: 🇫🇷Dati 🇮🇹Sì 🇸🇮Demokrati

@SeeRacists They were loves and one of the guys cheated and now he going on a vengeance tour.

🚨BREAKING: Racist Water Polo Star Lucca van der Woude Pleaded GUILTY to S*XUALLY ASSAULTED His Black 14yo Teammate While Calling Him the “N*GGER” DAILY for Months & Whipping Him in Slavery Reenactments at Elite Harvard School!! This School knew, did nothing, and let him transfer to keep playing & represent Team USA. Victim Aidan Romain now suing Lucca van der Woude + school for cover-up.

@CiroDeSiena They rather increase rates than stop stealing a little less 💀

My word. The media is talking about a R4.00 increase for petrol and R7.00 increase for diesel. And Eskom's 8.8% tariff hike kicks in on 1 April. I'm not usually one for doom and gloom but this is all pretty shit, to put it mildly.

@Markosonke1 Curruption killed the potential of Angola. ✈️

🚨 DID YOU KNOW 🚨 Angola just built a $500+ MILLION oil refinery in Cabinda that could change the game for Africa… For the first time since 1975, Angola now has a brand-new refinery processing 30,000 barrels per day, aiming to reduce fuel imports despite being one of Africa’s biggest oil producers 😭 And they’re not stopping there… Phase 2 will DOUBLE capacity to 60,000 barrels/day, producing diesel, petrol & jet fuel 🔥 The goal? Energy independence, job creation and keeping African oil working for Africans 💰 Meanwhile some countries are still exporting crude… then buying it back at higher prices

My opinion on the European Commission's proposal for an "EU Inc": We are getting the icing, without the cake. We asked for structural reform, for a genuine 28th regime. Draghi asked for a 28th regime. Letta asked for a 28th regime. The Council asked for a 28th regime. We got 27 new national forms instead. Each in their local ecosystem, local courts, and only partial harmonization, with *some* genuinely appreciated goodies. But I fear these goodies won't be consequential. Because this was always about building something that is better than Delaware. If we can't manage that Europe's best and brightest will continue founding outside of Europe, will move elsewhere, take capital from elsewhere and create jobs and growth elsewhere. Europe deserves better than this. And we frankly cannot allow unambition and political complexity to hold us back from building the Europe we need. If the EU and all 27 member states cannot deliver a true EU–INC, then we might need to build a coalition of genuinely ambitious European countries that are actually serious about fixing Europe. Why should a damn EU Court - that apparently is "too hard" to implement - keep us back from reaching global competitiveness and technological sovereignity in Europe? It shouldn't. European founders, investors and everyone who cares about Europe need to step up now and lobby their national governments and MEPs for a real EU–INC. Nobody else will do it for us. Clearly. Watch Lambertus Robben of @EU_Made_Simple analyse the "EU Inc" proposal by the Commission below. This is spot on. We can do better. For Europe. 🇪🇺🫡

@chrisw_co_za What do you want a performance? Lordy

Genuine question. Why haven’t any other “opposition” parties in the GNU tabled legislation to change existing ANC policies ? The DA has tabled amendments to the PIE Act and our big Economic Inclusion for all Bill that would see the removal of BEE. VF ? PA ? Where are they ?

@Heroiam_Slava Delulu central. Ask Ukraine to do you a favour

🇲🇩 Moldova has officially stated that it plans to reintegrate Transnistria, but exclusively by peaceful means. 🇪🇺 Chișinău presented a document in Brussels on the gradual reintegration of the Transnistrian region. The plan, developed in February, outlines the main stages and principles for restoring the country’s unity. 🪖 A key point is the complete demilitarization and democratization of the Russia-controlled region. 🤝 An international administration should gradually transfer powers in the region to Moldova’s central authorities. 💶 Economic reintegration will occur through the introduction of unified fiscal, customs, and trade rules.

The Iran war Is reopening Venezuela and that is an opportunity for Trinidad and Tobago & the Southern Caribbean

22 years after joining the EU, Poland just became a global top 20 economy. Poland's hard work, combined with the EU single market & investments have created a boom unlike anywhere else. Congrats, Poland!

@insidepols Mandatory military service

Some thoughts on ASA’s election strategy. Big picture: ASA under great deal of pressure. Its dire 2024 result could perhaps be explained to some degree by the fact that it is a regional, not national party (although even that generous), but it simply cannot afford to go backwards in two back-to-back elections. Then decline becomes official. Parties are like sharks, they must keep moving forward, or they die. To date, ASA’s strategy seems to have been to “out DA the DA”. In other words to claim, with little to no substantive evidence (it simply has not been in power long enough anywhere), that it is 1. Better at governance than the DA and 2. The DA is destructive. Just one of those is a hard sell, two of them together is next to impossible. Just is not credible. Surveys reveal even ANC voters think the DA better at governance. The SRF poll suggests it isn’t working. All breakaway parties tend to do this. The EFF/MK argues they are the true keepers of the revolutionary flame, not the ANC, for example. And there will always be some small market of the disaffected who buy that. But to grow, in a meaningful way, a party must distinguish itself. It must force people to make a hard choice: Party A stands for X, Party B stands for Y. I choose X. ASA’s problem is that it has nothing distinguishing. There is no one issue (a grand idea or even policy) that sets it apart. You can test this: ask yourself, if you vote for ASA, what one thing are you getting that no other party offers? There is nothing really. And without that, it is trying to tell South Africans it makes Coke better than the Coca-Cola company. It is unlikely ASA will be able to adapt its strategy. It is, actually, a highly emotional party, and its outlook a product of its human capital, the majority of whom are angry about or bitter with the DA. Just look at any Mashaba interview, it is anti-Zille vitriol from one end to the other. That is fine, each to their own, but it is not how you grow. To grow you need to put the issues that matter to people first, and in a way that makes it easy to discern what sets you apart on any one of them.

@CommonSense_ZA No way the ANC gets so high 😝

@CommonSense_ZA This isn't serious at all, clearly the DA is attempting to position these races as a straight DA/ANC fight. This info op will backfire to help FF+, PA, and ASA

The DA is within striking distance of a historic majority in Tshwane. Polling results show that the DA and its mayoral candidate, Cilliers Brink, are within touching distance of winning a majority in the capital. However, it is more likely that the DA will need the support of other smaller parties to secure the mayoral chain in the city, and it is still possible that an ANC-led coalition could pip the DA and its allies at the post.

@JordiGriff @CommonSense_ZA I mean. This isn't serious, right?

🚨🚨🚨Polling Alert - Tshwane @CommonSense_ZA Recent survey polling has the DA at 45% and the ANC at 42% in Tshwane. All other parties didnt exceed the 4% margin of error. Fundamental shifts occurring in Tshwane as voters consolidate around the biggest parties. Will it last?

@TheBotOfTheBots @Arrogance_0024 Nah, China made some massive mistakes.

@Arrogance_0024 China obviously. Or some small country but that's kinda irrelevant.

Which country is the smartest geopolitical player right now?

@i3lackwyrm @Arrogance_0024 Id add India. The rest aren't relevant.

@Arrogance_0024 The only people playing geopolitics are America and China. The rest of yall are armchair coaches screaming into the void.
