@grok @PresidentXiCHN Which of the two economies is in more danger of defaulting ?

The United States has more national debt than Japan in absolute terms. As of June 2025, the U.S. debt is estimated at $36.2–$37 trillion, based on reports from the Congressional Budget Office and other sources. Japan's debt, reported at 1,323.7 trillion yen in March 2025, converts to about $9.13 trillion at an exchange rate of 145 JPY per USD. While Japan's debt-to-GDP ratio is higher, around 216–237% compared to the U.S.'s 120–130%, the question focuses on total debt, where the U.S. figure is roughly four times larger. Data uncertainties, like exchange rate fluctuations, exist but don't alter the conclusion.

The US national debt just reached $37 trillion. Thats’s $108,000 for every single American. Who’s going to foot the bill?

@RonSCantor @grok, is that true?

Someone asked if modern Israel is biblical Israel. My answer is below. Let's start here. There are dozens of prophecies in the Hebrew Bible that speak of the restoration of Israel as a nation (Exek 36:24ff). It says it would happen in the end-times (Amos 9:14–15, Ezek 37:21–22). It tells of a mass exodus of Jewish people from a land north of Israel (Jer 16:14-15); Over 1,00,000 Jews return to Israel from the former Soviet Union between 1991-2000. So, what you have to ask yourself is, have these prophecies been fulfilled in the modern nation of Israel? Ethnic Jews, proven by DNA, have gone back to their homeland after 2000 years. There is no example in world history of a nation being separated from its geographical homeland for more than two or three generations and maintaining its ethnic identity--except for Jews/ Israelites/Israelis. (Have you run into any Jebusites or Hitites recently?) If the prophets were not speaking about present-day Israel, then this is one of the most remarkable coincidences in history. Secondly, who are they talking about? Did the church come out of the land of the north? No. Was the church regathered from all over the world back into the land of Israel? No. But the Jewish people were. Even if one spiritualizes those verses to the church, one cannot deny that the physical descendants of Abraham returned to the land promised to him and his descendants forever, and built a nation. One would have to be intellectually dishonest not to see the connection between the prophecies and the fact that there is a nation of Israel today filled with Jewish people. It's a miracle. In Romans 11, Paul clearly states that ethnic Israel has a future. He says they have been temporarily blinded so that the gospel can prosper amongst the nations. But in the end times, the hardness of heart will be removed and "all Israel will be saved." (Rom 11:26). He explains three verses later that the gifts and callings are irrevocable. He is emphatically stating that God's calling on Israel will never be revoked, no matter what Israel does. This is because of God's faithfulness, not Israel's righteousness. Keep reading, please. You don't honor the politicians, you honor the God of Israel. Despite Israel, God has been faithful. See Jer. 31:35-37, where God says specifically that he will not reject Israel for all she has done, and as long as the stars, moon, and sun continue to operate, he will be faithful to Israel. There is faulty reasoning that goes into disqualifying Israel, based on bad behavior. If God were going to disqualify people based on bad behavior, then much of the church would be in very big trouble. But God is gracious. Jesus is still Jewish. After his resurrection, he is referred to as the seed of David (Rom 1:3), and in Revelation 5:5 as the line of the tribe of Judah and Root of David. According to Zechariah 14:3-4, he will return to the Mount of Olives. That's where he left from, and the angel said he would return in the same way. Rev. 1:7 says that when he comes, every eye will see him, even those who pierced him… Which is very similar to Zechariah 12:10, which speaks of the Jewish people realizing that the one they pierced is the Messiah. The problem many people have is that they look at someone like Netanyahu and see him as an unsavory character, and think, "How can that be biblical Israel?" biblical Israel had people far worse than Netanyahu as leaders, such as a Ahab and Jezebel and Manasseh, who "did evil in the eyes of the LORD." But according to Paul, that did not disqualify the entire nation (Rom 11:29). There are unsavory politicians all over the world. In America. In Israel. Certainly in Russia. Honoring Israel is about loving God and believing in his faithfulness and that Jesus is literally returning to Jerusalem. He was faithful to his promises to Israel. Loving Israel is about believing for her salvation, and contending for it, recognizing that Israel was blinded so that the gospel could come to Gentiles. They suffered so the nations could be saved. In Matthew 23:39 he tells the Jews of Jerusalem that he will not return until they welcome him as Messiah. How can they do that if there are no Jews in Jerusalem or if there's no Jerusalem? I am an Israeli, and I criticize my own government. I don't give them a free pass because we are a modern fulfillment of prophecy. I believe that October 7 happened because we allowed a racist element into our government. I prophesied that a month before it happened (not in detail). When Israel was chosen in the Old Testament, God would bring judgments upon her. Israel is still chosen today, but when we are bad, there are consequences. Still, if you're going to be intellectually honest, there's no other explanation for the creation of the state of Israel in 1948 other than biblical prophecy. The existence of Jewish people today is a miracle based on science. As stated above, there's no other example of people being separated from their geographical homeland and remaining a people. The fact that we are on a tiny sliver of land outnumbered more than 99 to 1 by those who would be our enemies, and we have been able to win every war, is a miracle. The Six-Day War was a miracle, where we were vastly outnumbered, but defeated three nations in six days. In conclusion, yes, modern-day Israel is what God was referring to when he spoke about the restoration of Israel in the Hebrew Bible. But this does not mean that Israel gets a free pass on anything we do. If anything, we are more accountable to God because we have the Scriptures.

May God help Africa overcome Islamic terrorism and other forms of terrorism in the name of Jesus Christ!

@KiberuJimmy @pmukasaofficial "Is the trick "typo.

@KiberuJimmy @pmukasaofficial Dk 777 plus early planting is tricky for maize these days!

Maize!!! Not doing it again.

@SpireJim Doctor,but that lady is not yet 70 years old !

Deceit of voters

@SprinterObserve How long will Iran be able to continue doing this given the fact that Israel fighter jets are everywhere in Iran hunting the the missile launchers unopposed?

Iran is slowly sending Israel back to the Stone Age. 🟢 The Tel Aviv Stock Exchange was one of the buildings in the occupied territories that was hit by Iranian missiles this morning. 🟢 Following the start of Iran's attack on the Israel and the chaos that engulfed the regime's financial market, the Israeli stock market index fell by 3%. 🟢 According to official data, the value of this market is estimated at 475 billion dollars.

@SpireJim Spot on! Apart from legitimizing NRM dictatorship and misrule, parliament and Uganda's opposition role is as good as useless!

There is a strategic reason why NRM doesn’t mind senile or vegetative MPs and ministers. By and large, there is practically very little need for their brains anyway while in those positions. There is only one person (and family) whose thinking is needed. The rest are required to endorse it, and give it a performative semblance of democratic consensus. We may wonder about extreme cases of incapacitation like Moses Ali, but they’re practically not more useless than many younger ones in the fold. So, does it matter whether they can still talk, walk or think? The more indisposed or willing to forget their brains, the better. You don’t expect any trouble from those towards the dynasty. Vulnerable people are the easiest to manipulate.

@DrLoupis May God the Creator of all human beings bring a solution to the unending conflicts in the name of Jesus Christ!

How do you feel seeing Tel Aviv like this?

@pmukasaofficial @Christo33M Which place is that?

@Christo33M I will try something else, not maize again.

@pmukasaofficial You delayed to plant! With maize these days,you have to make sure that you utilize the first rains as much as possible and also plant drought resistant seeds !

@SprinterObserve Terrible!

Today, in the fourteenth round of Iranian attacks, Tel Aviv and Haifa were destroyed. Due to extensive news censorship in Israel, an accurate depiction of the scale of the strikes on Haifa has not yet been released.

@angelsarenearby May God help and heal you in the name of Jesus Christ!

Please pray for me. Doctors think it could be blood cancer, and I’m getting sicker every day. The pain is unbearable. I’ll know more soon. Thank you. Stay close to God.

@mahmud2008 @Megatron_ron Read to understand, not to reply!

@Megatron_ron You earlier reported that it costs Israel $285 per day to operate air defence. This equates to only 2 interceptions of THAAD batteries. Which one is correct? x.com/Megatron_ron/s…

NEW: 🇮🇷🇮🇱 Israel is running out of Arrow 3 air defence missles - The Washington Post 'Israel will only be able to maintain shooting down Iranian ballistic missiles for 10 or 12 more days, then they will need to start rationing munitions' - The Washington Post This could explain why Iran is opting to launch small but consecutive waves. Iran is likely using up some of their older / less sophisticated missiles to deplete Israeli defenses, to make way for the 'real' stuff later on. This is attritional warfare. In most cases, a small wave of 3-5 Iranian ballistic missiles is enough to prompt the launch of about 10-15 Israeli interceptor missiles, with each one costing at least $12 million dollars (in the case of THAAD). In contrast, even Iran's most modern missile, the Fattah-1, only costs about $200,000 to produce, according to the IRGC. If we assume 12 interceptors for one Fattah-1 missile (as seen in a video today), that means Israel is spending $144 million dollars to 'intercept' (not always successfully) a single Iranian hypersonic missile. This is why now Israel is going all in against the missile launcers in Iran.

@Megatron_ron Does Iran still have the capacity to do so?

JUST IN: 🇮🇷🇮🇱🇺🇲 Ali Khamenei, Iran's Supreme Leader speech on TV: "Any U.S. strike will have serious irreparable consequences" "The Zionist entity committed a grave mistake and will be punished for its actions" "The Iranian nation firmly resists imposed war, and it will also firmly resist imposed peace. This nation will never surrender to pressure." "Only the intelligent know that the language of threats cannot be used with the Iranian people" "Those familiar with Iran’s history and people know better than to speak the language of threats. "Our people will not submit to any dictates from any party whatsoever." The Americans must understand—any military intervention will undoubtedly bring irreversible harm." "They should know that Iran will not surrender, and any U.S. strike will have serious irreparable consequences." "War is met with war, bombing with bombing, and strike with strike."

@Megatron_ron 😁

BRICS is officially dead.

@Megatron_ron $2.8 billions in 10 days, $8.4 billions in a month? Huge cost on Israel if it's not America footing the bill?

BREAKING: 🇮🇱🇮🇷 Israeli media reports that air defense is costing Israel $285 million per day

Is this true?

@TimKalyegira @grok I used to visit that town in the 90s before it was upgraded to a city! It seems to be a great place now?

Oginga Odinga Street, Kisumu, Kenya, March 2016. Dear @grok, I'm said to be one of the few who know how to take photos of streets. For proof, compare this with photos of the same street via Google Images: google.com/search?q=oging… Not so? Photo by @TimKalyegira
