@WarNewsGlobal @nexta_tv They slam the EU for buying Russian energy, then slam it for putting ideology over heating. Pure hypocrisy. Slovakia can buy energy elsewhere, like other EU states.

@nexta_tv Does the EU prioritize ideological purity over the basic heating requirements of its own citizens?

Slovakia is taking the EU to court over the ban on Russian gas Prime Minister Robert Fico said the decision to fully phase out Russian energy resources by 2027 is “extremely harmful” for Europe. He is outraged that such a move was made without unanimous agreement. Fico has instructed the Justice Ministry to file a lawsuit with the EU court. A similar step had previously been taken by Hungary under Orbán. Meanwhile, Hungary’s future prime minister Péter Magyar said that oil flows through the Druzhba pipeline could resume in the near future.

@dmac0123 @Microinteracti1 He's stating facts,you're expressing opinions. This is why you can't distinguish between opinions and facts.

@Microinteracti1 Why wouldn’t they? It’s amazing to me that X accounts like this one continue to congratulate Iran for doing what any human should do Like a 10 yo made his bed or someone cleaned up their yard after a storm “Iran must be winning bc they cleared rubble” 😂

While the US and Iran discuss extending their ceasefire, satellite images from April 10 show Iran already clearing rubble and excavating tunnel entrances at missile bases near Khomein and Tabriz. US intelligence estimates roughly half of Iran’s ballistic missile launchers survived the bombing campaign – buried, intact, and presumably ready. The ceasefire extension being floated is two weeks. Iran is apparently using the time productively. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

@ReedFawell111 @its_The_Dr @MortonAKlein7 Now the whole world can see with its own eyes that Trump is carrying out major international actions that benefit Putin. This is more direct than intelligence。isn’t it? Don’t bury your head in the sand.

@its_The_Dr @MortonAKlein7 The Trump administration now as the goods sufficient to put Barack Obama, in seriously legal jeopardy. This is a good thing. America deserves justice.

Karoline Leavitt: “While pretending to engage in a peaceful transfer of power, Barack Hussein Obama, in private, went to great and nefarious lengths to sow discord among the public and sabotage his successor, President Trump. The new evidence released by the Director of National Intelligence confirms that the Obama administration manufactured and politicized intelligence, which was later used as justification for baseless smears against President Trump — an effort to delegitimize his victory before he even took the oath of office. The truth is that President Trump never had anything to do with Russia, and the Russia collusion hoax was a massive fraud perpetrated on the American people from the very beginning. The worst part is that Obama knew the truth, as did all the other officials involved, including former CIA Director John Brennan, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former FBI Director James Comey, former Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, and many others.”

Happy Russian Warship Go Fuck Yourself Day! Yes, a country that effectively had no navy managed, for the first time since the Russian-Japanese war of 1905, to send the flagship of a Russian fleet to the bottom -- a massive, pompous missile cruiser -- with just two half-baked, pretty simple missiles.

@samstone46 @MarinaTrusch @Microinteracti1 So while you’re still basking in self-satisfaction, a drone flies over the aircraft carrier—heading straight for you.

@MarinaTrusch @Microinteracti1 I know reading comprehension is not your strong suit. I called myself inferior. You can calm down. I am not going to gas my fellow 70 million dumbasses. We like living in our ignorance.

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

@serialgrandpa @AJseashore @BarackObama @NASAArtemis Space exploration—most directly, it gave you GPS. Don’t be so stingy and childish.

@AJseashore @BarackObama @NASAArtemis and you would be doing something stupid because if you look historically at what we have gotten from that nonsense, you would find it is a black hole that we will never ever reap the rewards from

What the Artemis II astronauts did over the last 10 days was a testament to their bravery. And the fact that they traveled farther from Earth than anyone ever has, re-entered our atmosphere at more than 24,000 mph, and splashed down safely was a testament to human ingenuity. Thanks to everyone at @NASA for making this mission possible, and for taking us along for the ride.

@WalkingBarrage @Microinteracti1 That's an American oil company. If the oil company owner wasn't your father, a businessman would raise prices to make money unless he's a fool. Your thinking like that shows you're rather foolish.

@Microinteracti1 Does Iran now have nuclear weapon capability? No. Commander in Chief Trump made damn sure. The U.S, has its own oil. Screw the Straight of Hormuz. That is Europe's problem now.

Piers Morgan, a man not historically known for self-restraint, has just detonated a very large bomb directly underneath the White House’s victory parade. His conclusion is not subtle. Iran still controls the Strait of Hormuz. The Pentagon burned through thirty billion dollars achieving approximately nothing. And Trump’s approval ratings are now doing what all truly expensive things eventually do: falling apart faster than expected. This is the kind of post-war assessment that nobody in a MAGA hat is going to enjoy reading. The historic victory, it turns out, was historic mainly in the sense that the gap between the announcement and the collapse was unusually short. Thirty billion dollars. Iran still has the Strait. The ratings are down. If this is winning, one hesitates to imagine what losing looks like.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Stay connected, Follow Gandalv @Microinteracti1

@BobJohnson1933 @Microinteracti1 Come on, we're in the age of drones now. Your way of thinking is outdated.

@Microinteracti1 Particularly when you are pulling your gold out of a nation that is basically uninvadable. Can’t say that about Paris,

France just pulled all its gold out of the United States. 129 tonnes, 26 transactions, every last bar now sitting in Paris. The Bank of France says it was routine housekeeping. Replace old non-compliant bullion with fresh standard bars, book a €13 billion capital gain in the process, swing from a loss to an €8.1 billion profit. Nothing to see here. Analysts, predictably, see something here. This is what European strategic distrust looks like when it has to file paperwork. You don’t repatriate a century’s worth of gold reserves because you’re feeling sentimental about Paris. You do it because you’ve watched an American president spend four years treating alliances like unpaid invoices, and you’ve decided that having your national wealth stored in a building controlled by his Federal Reserve is a suboptimal arrangement. Governor Villeroy de Galhau denied political motives. Of course he did. Central bankers always deny political motives right up until the politics become undeniable. The French are very good at this. They’ll look you in the eye and tell you the timing is purely coincidental while quietly moving the furniture. Germany did the same thing a decade ago, for similar reasons that also weren’t political. The gold is home. The message is clear. And Washington, characteristically, probably hasn’t noticed yet.

@PatriotAunt @Microinteracti1 @FoxNews You only have operating costs, not airport and airport maintenance costs.

@Microinteracti1 @FoxNews All we wanted was to use there airports that we paid for so we didn't have to fly such long distances! Not too much to ask! We don't need NATO or anyone else! Everyone needs us!

BREAKING: NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte reveals details from his Oval Office meeting with President Trump as the U.S. calls out alliance members over their Iran war support: "I sensed his disappointment about the fact that he felt that too many allies were not with him.

Trump said he didn’t need anyone. Then needed everyone. Then called it a loyalty test. Now he’s sulking because thirty democratically elected governments, staffed by people who can read, looked at him and reached the same conclusion. This is a man who confused a defence alliance with a fan club, started a war without telling anyone, and is now genuinely surprised that the invite list came back empty. NATO allies aren’t disappointed in Trump. They’ve moved past disappointment. They’re in the quiet, slightly sad phase where you stop arguing with someone at the dinner table and just wait for them to finish. Rutte flew to Washington, sat in the Oval Office, and delivered the geopolitical equivalent of nodding along while a man explains how the moon landing was faked. Professional. Dignified. Completely pointless. Europe is making other arrangements. The adults have left the room. And somewhere in the White House, the most powerful man in the world is staring at a phone waiting for allies to call him back. They won’t.

@Microinteracti1 @FoxNews 【 This is a man who confused a defence alliance with a fan club 】 That's a good analogy.

@BigIron0nHisHip @Microinteracti1 You don't even know where the dollar's hegemony and your hysterical confidence come from. You really need to read: macroeconomics, national affairs。not just your own little corner of the world.

Oh, shut up. NATO is a joke and so is your take. The US literally saved the world in 1945 via our industrial capacity, particularly as shared with our allies. We've held up soppy, corrupt, greedy, broken Europe for decades with trillions of our tax dollars, won the Cold War and funded your pathetic defenses. And all those Europoofs do is criticize us. The USA is 95% of NATO, Europe is nothing but fragile window dressing. We DO get to tell Europe to show up, because we've shown up for Europe in countless times in nations that have zero NATO connection, because Europe needed us to do their heavy lifting. Trump is exactly right, Europe failed and did so miserably. Europe is nothing now but a collection of money junkies addicted to US cash that got so lazy and entitled that they essentially dismantled their entire defensive sphere and contracted it out to the US, while their 'leaders' kept the cash for themselves. Europe is a country club led by crooks that got fat off US cash and let their own nations wither in the process. The reality is Europe is a hollowed out, rotted out parody of itself that simply CANNOT show up. The UK, France and Germany are getting bitch-slapped across their own countryside every day by a mob of godless 12th Century terrorists raping their women and daughters repeatedly in broad daylight, and the pathetic witless, jello-spined European leaders refuse to stop even that. Europe has deteriorated into a feckless, cowardly disaster that didn't even want to try to assist the US, mainly because if they did they'd have to deal with rioting mobs of bearded pedophile-worshipping death cultists at home. They're terrified of the legions of rats they've let infest their nations, and are bowing in fear to them. Europe is spineless, immoral, worthless shadow of its former self. Europe has failed and fallen intellectually, technologically, militarily, organizationally, judicially, spiritually and morally, and is about to become vassal state to a demonic horde of Muslim terrorists. The United States didn't need Europe to pull off what we did. And frankly, as things are going, it might be advisable for Trump to consider invading the UK next, to prevent radical Islam from getting control of British nukes, since they're so totally incapable of even defending themselves. #LeaveNATOnow 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Karoline Leavitt: “They were tested and they failed.” Here’s the thing about NATO that apparently needs explaining to the most powerful government on earth: it is not a taxi. You do not ring NATO. You do not place an order. You do not specify delivery within 72 hours and then stand in the Rose Garden bewildered that nothing has turned up. NATO is a collective defence alliance built on the radical concept that its members are, in fact, members, with votes and opinions and sovereign militaries they get to deploy according to their own national interests. This is written down. It has been written down since 1949. The documents are available in English. Nobody in this administration has read them. Let’s go back to Greenland for a moment, because this is apparently where the rot set in. Trump wanted Greenland. Just wanted it. Asked if he could have it. Was told no, it belongs to Denmark, which is a NATO ally, which means the whole thing was always going to be diplomatically awkward at best and catastrophically self-defeating at worst. His response was not to reflect on this. His response was to decide that NATO was a large problem. An alliance of thirty-two nations that has kept the peace in Europe for seventy-five years was, in his assessment, getting in the way of his property acquisition. This tells you everything you need to know about how the man thinks. And it tells you everything about who he hired to think alongside him. Every serious leader in history, every CEO worth the title, every general who ever won anything, has operated on the same basic principle: hire people smarter than yourself. Steve Jobs did it. Churchill did it. Every remotely competent executive who ever ran anything of consequence understood that your job is not to be the cleverest person in the building. Your job is to find the cleverest people in the building and then get out of their way. Surround yourself with people who will tell you when you’re wrong. Who know things you don’t. Who have read the documents.Trump inverted this entirely. A cabinet selected not for expertise but for loyalty. Not for knowledge but for the willingness to perform agreement. Pete Hegseth at Defence. A communications team that announces things with confidence at a ratio entirely disconnected from understanding. An administration where the qualification for the job was, essentially, never making the man at the top feel inadequate. The outcome of this philosophy is Karoline Leavitt at a podium reading four words as though she had just solved something. Delivered with the serene confidence of someone who has never had to sit in a room and actually work out what NATO is, how it functions, why it was built, or what the word collective means in the context of collective defence. They were tested and they failed. Europe is not shaking its fist. Europe is shaking its head. Slowly. Wearily. In the way you do when you’ve explained something seventeen times and the person across the table still hasn’t got it and you’ve finally accepted that they never will. The allies are building their own defence architecture now, with people in the room who have read the documents. They stopped waiting for Washington to grow into the role some time ago. And somewhere in all of this, Greenland is still Danish. Still will be tomorrow. NATO is still an alliance of sovereign nations who get to say no. Still will be next week. And the White House is still staffed by people who find both of these facts baffling. Some things don’t change just because you haven’t understood them.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ ​ Stay connected, Follow Gandalv @Microinteracti1

@AriFleischer Are you suggesting that Morocco choose to be scapegoated and bombed like Dubai, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Bahrain? The Moroccans should think this through carefully.

Moving the US military out of west European bases will be costly, slow and complicated. These bases are large and sophisticated. Wherever we move to has to be equally sophisticated and secure. A good place to start is moving from Spain to Morocco, where the US used to have a SAC base. Morocco has several modern facilities, including our former bases. Morocco is already a designated non-NATO major ally (so is Bahrain), is a member of the Abraham Accords, and is pro-western. They’re also a tolerant and beautiful country. The US has options. If Spain, France and Italy won’t help us, we can find better places to go.

I wish my country were on the side of democratic Europe in this contest and not autocratic Russia. Hopefully, someday we will be again on the side of democracy and against dictatorship. Fighting for that future.

@EricLDaugh He was tested too. He declared victory on March 3rd. Then spent 36 days bombing the country he had already defeated. Then begged NATO for help. Then said he never needed it. Then threatened the allies he was begging. Then said he didn’t need them again.

@shanaka86 Who cares about an arrogant loner?

JUST IN: The Wall Street Journal just reported that Trump is considering relocating US troops out of NATO countries he considers unhelpful during the Iran war and into countries that supported it. Poland, Romania, Lithuania, and Greece are the named beneficiaries. Spain blocked its airspace. Germany criticised the campaign. The punishment is not withdrawal. It is redistribution. And it rewrites the architecture of European security through the leverage of a Middle Eastern war. Article 5 was never triggered. It was never going to be. The Washington Treaty is explicit: collective defence applies only to armed attacks against members in Europe or North America. The Iran war is in the Gulf. No NATO territory was attacked. The treaty’s geographic limit, written in 1949, functioned exactly as designed. Article 5 has been invoked once in 77 years, on September 12 2001, and never since. NATO countries did not miscalculate. They correctly read the treaty and provided individual support: intelligence sharing, logistics, solidarity statements. Nothing more was legally required. Trump’s grievance is not legal. It is transactional. He fought a war that degraded Iran’s military capacity, reopened Hormuz, and forced a ceasefire framework while NATO allies watched, criticised, and in some cases obstructed. The 84,000 American troops stationed across Europe are not a treaty obligation. They are a strategic choice. And Trump is now pricing that choice at the cost of alliance loyalty in a conflict the alliance chose not to join. The redistribution targets are revealing. Poland, Romania, Lithuania, and Greece are all on NATO’s eastern flank facing Russia. Moving troops there strengthens deterrence against Moscow while punishing western European allies who prioritised diplomatic caution over operational support. It is simultaneously a reward, a punishment, and a strategic rebalancing, and it is being driven not by the Russia threat that NATO was built for but by the Iran war that NATO’s treaty does not cover. Secretary of State Rubio has been warning NATO for weeks. His April statements criticised allies for “backing off” and signalled a fundamental re-examination of the relationship. NATO Secretary General Rutte, who called Trump “Daddy” at the June 2025 summit in a moment of levity that now reads as submission, has offered solidarity without substance. The gap between solidarity and support is the gap Trump is now filling with troop movements. This connects directly to the five-week sequence playing out across every domain. The Iran ceasefire fractured on day one: Lebanon excluded, Hormuz tolled in yuan, Gulf states under missile attack, Sirri Island bombed, the bypass pipeline struck. Trump declared productive regime change, no enrichment, and 15 points agreed. He threatened 50 percent tariffs on any country arming Iran, aimed squarely at China. The Pentagon approved F-35I software upgrades for Israel on the same day the IDF struck 100 Hezbollah targets. And now the WSJ reports that NATO allies who did not support any of this will lose the American troops stationed on their soil. Every domain is connected. The Iran war is the lever. Hormuz is the chokepoint. The molecules are the currency. The tariffs are the stick. The troop relocations are the punishment. And Islamabad on Friday is where all of it converges. The war is not just reshaping the Middle East. It is reshaping Europe. Full analysis - open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

@KJisms @macergifford @NATO A lone wolf that leaves the pack to survive in the wilderness ends up as bones. Or maybe you want to ally with Russia. You know how dealings between thugs work—it's a contest of who’s more ruthless. And I’m sure Russia, the beast, has the upper hand in that.

@macergifford Well, you're British... so, your post does not represent US sentiment. We need to leave @NATO.

PRESS SEC: It’s quite sad that NATO turned their backs on the American people over the last six weeks when it’s the American people who have been funding their defense. President Trump looks forward to having a very frank and candid conversation with Secretary Rutte.

@investophermind @sentdefender That’s called diplomacy; sometimes it’s nothing more than a formality between nations. You’re ignorant.

@sentdefender Macron calling Trump and Pezeshkian to pat everyone on the back for the ceasefire? Dude watched the strikes from the sidelines and now wants credit. Trump forced the real deal, France just wants the photo op.

French President Emmanuel Macron has said that he spoke Wednesday with both U.S. President Donald J. Trump and Iranian President Massoud Pezeshkian, telling them “their decision to accept a ceasefire was the best possible one,” while urging both sides to continue negotiations while addressing the concerns raised by Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs, as well as its regional policy and its actions obstructing navigation through the Strait of Hormuz.
