Where do girls get such audacity? What does she offer in return? Most girls are exactly like her these days.

Glad to have met Dr. Henry Kissinger. He has made pioneering contributions to international politics and diplomacy.

RUSSIA TO BAN GASOLINE EXPORTS FROM APRIL 1 — Tass

🚨 Indian government to borrow ₹8.2 lakh crore in just 6 months. Full year target? A RECORD ₹17.2 lakh crore; up 17% over last year. Of that, ₹14 lakh crore goes purely to paying INTEREST on old debt. Not roads. Not hospitals. Not jobs. Just servicing the failures of the last decade. Interest payments have exploded from ₹5.8 lakh crore (2018-19) to ₹14 lakh crore in FY27. That’s 140% in 8 years under one government. 1 in every 4 rupees this government spends; goes not to you, but to a lender. Meanwhile: → 40% of Indian graduates are unemployed (State of Working India 2026) → 80 crore Indians survive on free ration → Youth unemployment (15–29) stubbornly stuck at 14.3% This isn’t Viksit Bharat. This is a generational debt trap, and your children are the collateral. Chest thumping is free. The bill isn’t.

I got attacked by Max Blumenthal and Oz Katerji on the same day, from different directions, about the same thing. Feels good. I must be doing something right if all the obsessive, tribal, attention-seeking Twitter trolls are after me. 🤷🏽‍♂️😉

This just confirms how bad the decision was. It was an all-or-nothing call, entirely dependent on others & circumstances that Australia could not hope to influence, let alone control. A clear case of dereliction of duty and sovereignty.

BREAKING: Reuters reports that China’s top chipmaker SMIC supplied chipmaking tools and equipment to Iran’s military approximately one year ago, with technical training likely included. Two senior Trump administration officials confirmed to Reuters. SMIC, China, and Iran have not commented. Correct the typo circulating on X. It is SMIC, Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation, China’s largest foundry. Not SMCI, the American server company indicted separately for smuggling. Now hold four facts simultaneously. Chinese BeiDou satellites provide the navigation that guides Iranian ballistic missiles onto Israel. Chinese sodium perchlorate fuels the solid-propellant rockets that carry those warheads. Chinese gyroscopic navigation devices and sensors, shipped through at least six sanctioned front companies in China and Hong Kong, stabilise the drones that supplement the missiles. And now, per Reuters, Chinese chipmaking tools built or upgraded the production lines that fabricate the chips inside those guidance systems. Four layers. Four links in a single supply chain. One country. This is not an alliance. This is a vertically integrated military supply chain. The BIS added 19 Chinese entities to its Entity List in October 2025 for supplying Iranian drone programmes with US-origin electronics. Treasury sanctioned six Chinese front companies in February 2025 for shipping gyroscopic navigation to IRGC-linked UAVs. The Atlantic Council documented 1,000 tons of sodium perchlorate shipped from Chinese ports in early 2025, enough propellant for 200 to 300 ballistic missiles. The pattern is established. What is new is that it now extends to the means of production itself. SMIC did not sell Iran a chip. SMIC sold Iran the tools to make chips. A chip is consumed. A fab tool produces. The transfer of production capability means Iran’s military electronics no longer depend on the next shipment clearing sanctions. They depend on a factory floor already equipped, staffed, and trained. Infrastructure survives sanctions. Infrastructure survives strikes. Infrastructure survives the death of every admiral in the IRGC Navy. The timing is precise. The alleged transfer occurred approximately March 2025, before the war. The Reuters report surfaces March 27, 2026, ten days before Trump’s April 6 energy-strike pause expires, one month before the NPT Review Conference opens April 27, and seven weeks before the Trump-Xi summit in Beijing on May 14 to 15. The intelligence was declassified now, not when it was gathered. The release is the leverage. The message is aimed at Beijing: we know what you sold, and we will discuss it in May. Read this against the day’s developments. The Larak toll booth collects in yuan via Chinese CIPS. Iran’s missiles fly on Chinese propellant guided by Chinese satellites. The IDF Chief warns of collapse. Trump has paused strikes. Russia’s revenue has doubled. And the country providing the navigation, propellant, sensors, and chipmaking tools is the country Trump meets in Beijing on May 14 to discuss rare earths and trade. The arithmetic is no longer speculative. China is materially sustaining Iran’s military capability through a documented, multi-layered supply chain while simultaneously processing 85 - 90 percent of the world’s rare earths that the US needs for its own defence systems. The crude-for-rare-earths grand bargain thesis does not require imagination. It requires reading the BIS Entity List, the Treasury sanctions, the Reuters exclusive, and the Lloyd’s List yuan-toll reporting in a single sitting. The atoms come before the bits. The tools come before the chips. The chips come before the missiles. The missiles come before the toll booth. The toll booth collects in yuan. And the yuan flows back to the country that sold the tools. The circle is closed. The operating system runs on Chinese infrastructure at every layer. And the only negotiation that can break the circle happens in Beijing on May 14.

Israeli settlers are making their way into countries like Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda, Zambia, Botswana, Ghana, and South Africa in significant numbers. This is quite concerning
