While Trump dodged the draft, Robert Mueller volunteered for the Marines after graduating Princeton. He was awarded a Bronze Star with combat V, rescuing a wounded Marine while under fire. He was later shot in the thigh, awarded a Purple Heart, and returned to lead his platoon.

Do you truly understand what Japan just gained? As a Japanese citizen, I’m telling you—this moment changed history. Trump's Pearl Harbor joke wasn't an insult. It was the key that finally unlocked something buried deep in the Japanese soul. For 80 long years, we've carried apology and guilt like a permanent shadow—haunted by the past, bound by the Constitution America wrote for us, forever in "reflection mode." He turned that raw wound into a shared laugh between equals. No more endless atonement. No more vassal shadow. The curse is broken. Japan is free now. Thank you, Mr. President. We're allowed to stand tall again—as true partners, not subordinates. The strongest alliance in the world is rising—equals, brothers, ride-or-die. #PhoenixRising

@MurielBlaivePhD Écoeurant. Zéro style. Pauvres américains. Il a bien caché son jeu en promettant l inverse de ce qu'il fait.

@OccupyDemocrats Mafia practice.

BREAKING: Trump accused of straight-up extorting Gulf allies for $5 TRILLION to keep his Iran war going – or $2.5 trillion to stop it! An Omani journalist and international affairs expert just dropped a bombshell on the BBC: the Trump administration is pressuring Gulf Cooperation Council states to cough up massive cash to either continue or end the war in Iran. According to sources, Trump is demanding $5 trillion if the Gulf wants the war to keep going, or $2.5 trillion to make it stop. This is classic grift: Trump starts an illegal war that’s already killing U.S. troops, bombing schools, shutting the Strait of Hormuz, and spiking gas prices worldwide – then turns around and tries to shake down rich Gulf allies for trillions to either fund it or bail him out. The council has publicly opposed the war and denied letting the U.S. use their territory, yet evidence shows American rockets firing from Gulf soil and U.S. warplanes crossing their airspace. Now that Iran has hit back hard, striking oil and gas infrastructure across the Gulf, forcing production cuts and massive economic losses all over the region, the stakes have become red-hot. The Gulf states are pulling back trillions in global investments – including $1.2 trillion pledged to the U.S. economy – both to punish Trump for starting a war that wrecked their oil revenue and tourism, and to protect their own money from more chaos if he escalates the war further. Now they’re hit with the old “Nice country you’ve got there,” gambit. This isn’t leadership. It’s Trump treating foreign policy like a protection racket: start the fire, then demand payment to put it out or keep it burning. While American families pay more at the pump and troops die, he’s allegedly trying to extort allies for trillions. If Trump demanding $5 trillion from Gulf states to fund or stop his own war feels like straight-up mafia tactics, like and share to call it out.

@LaurentThines @francediplo Effrayant. Que reste-t-il de ll'humanisme européen ?

La @francediplo valide la construction d’une Riviera sur les cendres des palestiniens génocidés par l’Etat d’Israel… ça s’arrête quand le cauchemar ?

@LCI Ridicule.

@atuntable @stevenemassey This is possible but arguments are weaker than for SARS2. And it is too late to investigate. SARS2 can still be investigated to some extent.

@angoffinet @stevenemassey Actually, the worst health disaster since 1958 with the creation of AIDS. Which was also done by a virologist (Koprowsky).

Endless tomfoolery

@snarwani @LarryBoorstein Europe will be asked to pay too. Trump is raising chaos on order of Netanyahu and wants others to fit the bill. The only one who will not be asked to pay is Netanyahu.

HUGE: The US is demanding trillions in "war ransom" from its Persian Gulf Arab allies. Trump demands the GCC cough up $5 trillion for him to continue the war on Iran, and $2.5 trillion if they want him to stop. thecradle.co/articles-id/36…

@DavidSmuts Why indeed?

Why aren' the Israelis sending in their boys? Why is it only American troops who are going to die for this war? Why isn't Israel sending any ships and submarines (which they have) to help open the Strait of Hormuz?

@stanycrets 😅💯

België in de straat van Hormuz.

@Glenn_Diesen @Bea_Elisa I hâte saying this, but now is time for European countries to work without US.

Trump labels the Europeans as "cowards" for not participating in the "simple military maneuver" of opening the Strait of Hormuz, and reminds the Europeans that NATO is a paper tiger.

@ECLOGITE110 At Univ Leuven, there is a large virus bank with many deadly ones. No one is worry, apart from me...

@angoffinet This should terrify everyone aware of the pandemic potential of stored laboratory pathogens. Running out the door with the wrong lab animals could annihilate humanity, animal species, etc. The monsters researchers are creating aren't secure. x.com/ExxAlerts/stat…

It makes sense to use a technique that leaves almost no trace, to be as close as possible to the original virus sequence. There is elegance in this, and I see nothing wrong with it. This is different than GOFROC, at least imho.

@atuntable @defense_civil25 Chaos is way more likely imho.

@angoffinet @defense_civil25 Europe wants the USA to rush in and defend them if necessary. But looks the other way with the messy situation in Iran. There is a good chance a liberal democracy will blossom in Iran.

Every member of NATO refused the call to help the United States to restore freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. All of Them!!

@WillSmithSpeak @World_At_War_6 Chinese are not stupid enough to initiate any war unless USA & Israel start something Not going to happen

@World_At_War_6 If you were China, when would you press it on? The moment when the USA is the most vulnerable. This is coming. I hope and pray that there is never a US-China war. This could bring the humanity to a halt.

🇺🇸🛑U.S. Gears Up for Ground Invasion of Iran: The U.S. is accelerating the deployment of approximately 8,000 additional Marines and sailors to the Middle East. In a show of rapid deployment, the USS Boxer Amphibious Ready Group is arriving ahead of schedule with roughly 4,000 Marines and sailors. They will link up with the USS Tripoli group, already traveling from Japan with 5,000 personnel. The combined force of six amphibious ships will increase regional force strength by approximately 8,000 personnel. There's no point deploying Marines to the region unless the U.S. intends to launch a full-scale ground invasion of Iran. Their probable objective is to secure the Strait of Hormuz and seize control of Kharg Island. The conflict is poised to escalate sharply in the coming weeks.

Admiral Yamamoto, seen here realizing he’d totally forgot to tell Trump he was going to attack Pearl Harbor.

@Poulin2012 Rutte n'est pas con du tout, mais il poursuit son agenda personnel, comme beaucoup d'autres. Son intérêt est de flatter Trump.

Il faut saluer la sagesse de l'Empire d'avoir su placer des champions, tous plus idiots les uns que les autres, aux postes clefs de l'ordre impérial. Mark Rutte mérite une médaille d'or en chocolat du géostratège le plus con de l'Occident global.

@mattwridley Genetic engineering for GOFROC uses standard technology developed in the non GOF context. GOFROC is conceptually void, scientifically trivial and very dangerous. But it makes for easy grant money under the One Health umbrella.

Correct. Which it’s why it’s so crazy to damage its reputation by defending idiotic and dangerous gain of function research that had huge risks and minor benefits.

@kaitlancollins En présence de la première ministre du Japon. Aucune limite à la grossièreté du personnage.

Asked why he didn't coordinate with allies before going to war with Iran, Trump says, "We didn't tell anyone about it. Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor, OK?"
