@TIME I think the guys probably just nuts from the timeline. No sane person does ALL of that. Dems are really really really bad at noticing mental illness.

@business The EU could've let Ukraine in in 2013, they didn't. They put unreasonable demands on Yanukovych instead and look where we are now. What's funny is the EU was worried about corruption and the cost of the loan. Imagine being upset that Ukraine needed 10bil instead of 5bil now.

@washingtonpost Absolutely amazing news WaPo! We've been living under this yoke since at least the Obama administration and it needs to end!

A bipartisan coalition of lawmakers has introduced legislation that would make it harder for federal investigators to obtain phone records and also would prevent the government from weaponizing a secretive legal instrument it has used to target critics. wapo.st/43kXydo

@colorcaoz @business The weak suffer what they must and the strong take what they will. Everything else is window dressing. If there's a humanitarian component to a policy it's just so the namby pamby lefties sign on too.

@business When west is doing ok, sanction this country , sanction that person. Ban this, ban that. When Wes is is trouble, lift ban, lift sanctions. We need this, we need that. We can’t live without this, without that. We want them all.

The European Union will propose temporarily lifting sanctions on a Chinese semiconductor supplier after automakers warned of impending supply chain chaos if the ban isn’t removed bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

@DavidvanDi4870 @Mehmet_the_Eng @TheStudyofWar This is made up nonsense. It was mostly MEK guys that got killed. Terrible government in Iran btw, don't get me wrong, but if you can't regime change them then what's the point? Bombing little girls only makes the average Iranian hate us.

@Mehmet_the_Eng @TheStudyofWar Mehkeraar schrijft de ene leugen na de andere leugen. Maar los daarvan, een regering die 40.000 jonge burgers afslacht in een paar maanden........

NEW: Iran is likely using the ceasefire period to normalize Iranian control over the Strait of Hormuz by compelling oil-importing countries to establish a bilateral transit agreement with Iran while charging fees from vessels that are not part of the bilateral deals. These fees are framed as “security” fees, but the fees are in reality part of a mafia-esque protection racket in which the vessels pay Iran so that the Iranian navy can “secure” the vessels against an attack by the Iranian navy or Iranian shore-based missiles and drones. Other Key Takeaways: Iran’s normalization scheme could not be disrupted by a post-war “security” deployment by European states, as some countries have suggested. Iran would likely attempt to stop, perhaps with force, any post-war “security force” if the war ends with an official or de facto recognition of Iranian sovereignty over the Strait. A successful Iranian effort to normalize this structure would gradually increase the number of vessels moving through the strait to near pre-war levels. This reduces the visible economic costs of restricted access and therefore weakens the primary argument for mobilizing US allies to help reopen the strait. It is not a given that this effort will be successful, however. Three US officials told the Wall Street Journal that US forces seized a US-sanctioned, Iranian-linked oil tanker, the M/T Skywave (IMO: 9328716), between May 19 and 20 after it transited the Strait of Malacca on May 14. US Marines separately boarded the Iranian-flagged oil tanker M/T Celestial Sea (IMO: 9397030) on May 20 on suspicion of attempting to reach an Iranian port. The Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) threatened on May 20 to expand the war “far beyond the region” if US-Israeli strikes on Iran resume. This threat almost certainly seeks to deter renewed US-Israeli strikes but could also reflect IRGC planning for a potential future conflict. Iran does possess several capabilities with which it could operationalize these threats, including by conducting terror attacks abroad, disrupting shipping in other chokepoints, or firing ballistic missiles at longer range. Pakistan is attempting to secure its own political and security interests by fulfilling its end of the Pakistan-Saudi Arabia defense agreement and helping mediate between the United States and Iran. Hezbollah defended against an IDF assault into Haddatha, Bint Jbeil District, on May 19 and 20. The protracted Hezbollah defense is the first prolonged engagement between the IDF and Hezbollah since the ceasefire began.

@vicki4088389843 @nytimes The 'we' here obviously doesn't include the NYTimes. A simple search of the kind of crackpots they publish would show that.

@esaronia @nytimes We care about our justice system, and a blatantly corrupt president using it to buy an upcoming election.

@GovPressOffice LoL Your words are true, but you won't admit that same DoJ was used to frame that same guy as a Russian Agent despite the lack of evidence. It's almost like whoever is in power immediately shows their true colors.

We need a functioning Department of Justice, IRS, FBI. We need our institutions to function again. We cannot allow them to become a power ministry for our dear leader.

@The_Darth_Shawn @Variety I agree. I don't get it. I guess people think certain races are inferior or something? So seeing them achieve things helps? Who knows with these people.

@Telegraph If Russia maintains control of the more ethnically Russian provinces you're looking at a Ukrainian rump state with an axe to grind and a plethora of people like Andrii Biletskyi. If you want long term peace you likely need a Russian defeat.

@KyivIndependent Wasn't this always the case though? Didn't your boy Yanukovych try to join the EU, but the EU demanded a whole bunch of pension cuts and corruption stuff and everybody pretended he was a Kremlin stooge instead of blaming the EU like they should have.

Some hoped that with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban leaving office on May 9, Ukraine's path to EU membership would become much smoother. Instead, problems of substance have risen to the surface, which could prove difficult for Kyiv to fully address. kyivindependent.com/ukraines-obsta…

@breathtaker93 @ABC Ah... Sir, it's the rest of us who are getting fucked. Trump's gonna be just fine, probably proud of himself right now actually.

@ABC The Strait of Hormuz will remain closed and Trump will keep being fucked.

President Trump's top trade envoy said Sunday that the U.S. president exacted a commitment from the Chinese to not "provide material support to Iran," but that the U.S. did not seek China's direct help to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. abcnews.link/GoQaEpa

@yeahcurious @KyivIndependent He's thinking his Iran war is going absolutely terribly and if he doesn't let some nations get some oil they'll turn on him and then he's thinking that oil coming from somewhere other than the Persian Gulf would be best. I get it, as an American he's disappointing too.

Disgusting. What the hell is he playing at? This decision flies in the face of public opinion not to mention our allies position on Ukraine 🇺🇦. This second sanctions waiver will further strengthen Russia’s position and will result in many more innocent Ukrainian 🇺🇦 lives. Afterall it’s easy to see from the Russian murderous attacks on Ukraine 🇺🇦 over just the last 48 hours that they are not interested in peace of any sort. Perhaps this is what Trump wants. His stock in arms manufacturers will be doing very nicely thank you very much much!

⚡️ US again grants Russia oil sanctions waiver despite Treasury chief's pledges not to. The latest extension is the second time the Trump administration has renewed the sanctions relief despite earlier public statements indicating it would not do so. kyivindependent.com/us-source-deni…

@Caroltreasure @Reuters He didn't start any new wars and had a kill count a fraction of his predecessors. You have to go back to before Bush Sr. for that. Mind you he almost immediately ruined that in his second term and may end up to be a bigger killer than Bush Jr or Obama...

@Reuters it seems nonsensical for rural voters to vote for trump when he didn’t really do anything for them the first time around.. but he did spend the biden years telling them how “others” were ruining america

@FaceTheNation Mr Gates, if we want advice on running black-sites, extorting poor foreigners or faking evidence for war we'll ask. You're in no position to comment on any government's transparency or what the 'right' thing for the USA to do is. Same goes for ex-Mossad and ex-KGB/FSB.

Former Defense Secretary Robert Gates said the firing of Pentagon leaders and the removal of a full Pentagon press corps under Defense Sec. Pete Hegseth “concerns” him, but he noted, “I don't know the rationale for those changes.” “When you have a lot of changes like that, yeah, I think there is an obligation to explain, at a minimum, to the Congress, the rationale,” Gates told @margbrennan. Asked whether the systems are operating that way right now, Gates replied: “No.”

@ChroniclesDegen @Reuters Nobody wants to put China on death ground. They won't just sit idly by as their people starve (they only do that when it's their plan) and that could be ugly.
