This may be the most insane map of the SMO thus far! Russia launched over 14,000 drones, and more than 6 dozen missiles on targets all over Ukraine.

BREAKING: IRAN FM ARAGHCHI ON GULF STATES WORKING WITH ISRAEL: “Netanyahu has now publicly revealed what Iran's security services long ago conveyed to our leadership. Enmity with the Great People of Iran is a foolish gamble. Collusion with Israel in doing so: unforgivable. Those colluding with Israel to sow division will be held to account.”

China will never pour one trillion dollars into the United States as Trump claims. Here’s the hard truth: The US deep state has spent years drafting sanctions, asset freezes, and outright seizures in preparation for a potential conflict with China. Think-tank papers and policy documents make this crystal clear. Presidents come and go, but the long-term hegemony project never changes. Rhetoric shifts, actions don’t. Words from Trump are just noise. Watch what they do, not what they say. China is not stupid. No serious investor puts massive capital into a country openly preparing to weaponize the financial system against them. Trust is gone. The game is transparent. Beijing will invest where it is respected and secure >> not in a system that treats foreign assets as future war spoils. Actions reveal reality. Empty promises do not.

US lawmaker admits heavy losses of 39 US aircraft in failed Iran campaign —— A senior US congressman revealed on Tuesday that Washington has lost 39 aircraft since the outbreak of hostilities with Iran on 28 February, citing data from a specialized defense publication. During a special Senate committee hearing, Democratic Congressman Ed Case questioned Pentagon officials regarding the staggering material costs of the conflict, noting that the reported losses are likely higher given that the data is nearly a month old. The figures, originally published by defense outlet The War Zone, indicate that while the US Air Force conducted nearly 13,000 sorties during the war, the attrition rate has been significant. The report claims that 39 aircraft were destroyed and 10 others sustained major damage, including the high-profile loss of a Boeing E-3 Sentry and an F-35A Lightning II fighter jet, which was reportedly hit while operating inside Iranian airspace. When pressed on the financial impact, Pentagon Chief Financial Officer Jay Hurst declined to provide immediate figures, stating that a "full diagnosis" is required before estimating the "retention cost" of the fleet.

Lindsey Graham: "China's allies are all dirtbags - Iran, Russia. If China stopped buying Iranian oil, the war would be over. Help us open the Strait of Hormuz" America started a war for regime change but Lost control of the Strait. Got humiliated. And now Lindsey Graham is begging China - a country he just called an ally of "dirtbags" - to save U.S

The funniest contrast is the tone. Xi was talking about bilateral relations, global turbulence, cooperation, confrontation, and the future of humanity. Trump was basically saying: “It’s an honor to be your friend.” “You are a great leader.” “I only say the truth.” “The children were beautiful.” One was conducting diplomacy. The other sounded like he finally got a private dinner with his political crush.

UAE officials were reportedly “very angry” after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office confirmed reports of a secret visit to Abu Dhabi in March, according to Israeli channel i24News. The outlet cited an informed source saying the UAE sent a strongly worded protest message to Israeli authorities over the leaks. The same source added that this was not the first time sensitive information had been leaked from Netanyahu’s office. According to i24, repeated leaks from Netanyahu’s office were the main reason Netanyahu had not been invited to the #UAE for years. Israeli media reported that Netanyahu secretly visited the Emirati city of Al-Ain on March 26 during the US-Israeli war on #Iran. The UAE Foreign Ministry has denied the reports, stating that it rejects claims of any visit or reception of an Israeli military delegation. The office had previously described the meeting as a “historic breakthrough” in relations between Abu Dhabi and Tel Aviv.

🇺🇸🇨🇳🇮🇷 Trump defends Xi Jinping for calling America a "declining nation," agrees with him, and drops a three-word bomb about Iran: "to be continued." "The military decimation of Iran (to be continued!)" He just agreed with China's president that America was in decline, blamed Biden, praised Xi for "congratulating" him, and casually confirmed the Iran campaign isn't finished. All in one Truth Social post. The Xi defense is remarkable. Any other president agreeing with a foreign rival that America is declining would be career-ending. Trump turned it into a compliment about his own comeback story while also doing one of his favorite things: shitting on Biden. And Xi gets the gift of the American president publicly validating his worldview in exchange for whatever was agreed behind closed doors in Beijing. But "to be continued" is the line Iran will read tonight. The ceasefire is on life support. The blockade is active. And the president just told the world from Chinese soil that Iran's decimation has another chapter coming. Smart diplomacy or catastrophic timing depends entirely on whether that's leverage for the deal or a promise to the hawks who want it to collapse.

🇺🇸🇨🇳Rubio says Trump "didn't ask Xi for anything" on Iran: "We don't need their help." He brought Elon, Jensen Huang, Tim Cook, Larry Fink, Goldman Sachs, BlackRock, Blackstone, Visa, Mastercard, and Boeing to Beijing. $12 trillion in combined market cap sitting in one room. You don't fly that delegation 7,000 miles to not ask for anything. Iran is the door. What's behind it is the real negotiation: chips, energy, financial markets, and the future of the global economy. Rubio saying "we don't need help" is the polite fiction both sides agreed to maintain while the CEOs do the real talking.

Not a definitive answer here from Trump on whether Xi agreed that Iran shouldn’t have a nuclear weapon. Trump: I said you don’t need them having a nuclear weapon. Hannity: What did he say? Trump: He’s not going to respond too much. He’s a pretty cool guy. He’s not going to say that’s a good point. Hannity: Do you think he agreed? Trump: I think he did.

This DeProgram debate went completely off the rails. Robby, @tedrall, and @jamarlthomas end up arguing about Christianity, free will, hell, predestination, Adam and Eve, evolution, and whether an all-knowing God can create humanity while already knowing every choice people will make. If God already knows the outcome… is it really a choice? #Christianity #Bible #Theology #Religion

Iranian FM Araghchi at the BRICS foreign ministers meeting, on why he publicly confronted the Emirati delegation: "It was very strange for everyone in the meeting. The Emirati delegation had no other concern except to bring up the war, and the responses Iran delivered against America on that country's soil." His closing message to the Emiratis: "Israel, the Zionist regime, and America cannot bring you security."

Trump claims China will order 200 Boeing aircraft—his big "win" from the Beijing summit. No contract has been published. No timeline confirmed. Trump has a history of announcing "deals" that never materialize. One problem: China just signed massive verified Airbus contracts worth tens of billions, and Airbus now controls 55% of the Chinese market. Recent Airbus orders (confirmed, filed with stock exchanges): 🔸 April 2026: China Southern ordered 137 Airbus A320neos ($21.4 billion) 🔸 February 2026: 120 Airbus jets (German Chancellor Merz visit) 🔸 December 2025-January 2026: 148 Airbus jets from five Chinese companies 🔸 Since 2025: ~$55 billion in Airbus orders Boeing hasn't secured a major Chinese order since 2017, a drought caused by the U.S.-China trade war, 737 MAX crashes, and geopolitical tensions. Trump wanted 500 planes (analysts expected 500), but he claims he got less than half. Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg publicly begged Trump last month to help unlock the orders, saying Boeing needed "the administration's support." Until we see signed contracts with delivery schedules filed with regulators, this is vaporware. .
