@SpencerHakimian Time to unfollow.

This going is going viral as people notice what is truly going on.

@RedWavePress What a baby.

MOMENTS AGO: President Trump on Truth Social: “The United States has been informed by most of our NATO ‘Allies’ that they don’t want to get involved with our Military Operation against the Terrorist Regime of Iran, in the Middle East, this, despite the fact that almost every Country strongly agreed with what we are doing, and that Iran cannot, in any way, shape, or form, be allowed to have a Nuclear Weapon.” “I am not surprised by their action, however, because I always considered NATO, where we spend Hundreds of Billions of Dollars per year protecting these same Countries, to be a one way street — We will protect them, but they will do nothing for us, in particular, in a time of need. Fortunately, we have decimated Iran’s Military — Their Navy is gone, their Air Force is gone, their Anti-Aircraft and Radar is gone and perhaps, most importantly, their Leaders, at virtually every level, are gone, never to threaten us, our Middle Eastern Allies, or the World, again!” “Because of the fact that we have had such Military Success, we no longer ‘need,’ or desire, the NATO Countries’ assistance — WE NEVER DID! Likewise, Japan, Australia, or South Korea. In fact, speaking as President of the United States of America, by far the Most Powerful Country Anywhere in the World, WE DO NOT NEED THE HELP OF ANYONE! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP”

While the United States spends billions bombing Iran and the world watches oil prices crash, China just published the most consequential economic document of the decade. Nobody is paying attention. That is the point. The 15th Five-Year Plan, unveiled at the National People’s Congress on 5th March, is 141 pages. It mentions artificial intelligence over 50 times. It targets 70% AI penetration across the Chinese economy by 2027 and 90% by 2030. It designates humanoid robotics as a core pillar industry with output doubling over five years. It commits to space-Earth quantum communication networks, nuclear fusion timelines, and brain-computer interfaces. It sets AI-related industries at a target value exceeding 10 trillion yuan, approximately $1.38 trillion. And it declares “extraordinary measures” for rare earths and semiconductor self-reliance. This is not an economic plan. It is a war plan for a war the United States is not fighting because it is too busy fighting the wrong one. The US response to Chinese technological competition is the CHIPS and Science Act, signed in 2022. It appropriated $52.7 billion for semiconductor manufacturing, including $39 billion in direct grants and a 25% investment tax credit that expires this year. It has spurred over $640 billion in private investment across 140 projects in 30 states. It created half a million jobs. By any measure, it is the most significant US industrial policy in a generation. And it covers exactly one sector of an economy-wide technological competition. China’s plan covers every sector. AI across the entire economy. Robotics as industrial backbone. Space infrastructure. Quantum computing. Rare earth processing dominance maintained and strengthened. The CHIPS Act is a rifle. The 15th Five-Year Plan is an arsenal. The rare earth dimension is where the plans intersect with the war. China controls 90% of global rare earth processing. Every F-35 joint strike fighter requires 920 pounds of rare earth materials. Every Patriot missile battery, every THAAD interceptor, every guided munition being expended over Iran at a rate of thousands per week depends on materials that China processes. The “extraordinary measures” in the Five-Year Plan are not defensive. They are the tightening of a supply chain that the US military cannot function without. In April 2025, China imposed export controls on all 17 rare earth elements. The January 2027 DFARS deadline requires the Pentagon to eliminate Chinese rare earth dependency from defence procurement. That leaves a 10-to-15-year vulnerability window during which the United States is simultaneously waging a war that consumes rare-earth-dependent munitions at historic rates and attempting to build alternative supply chains that do not yet exist. The Iran war is consuming the interceptors. China is tightening the supply chain that builds the interceptors. The Five-Year Plan is the document that formalises the tightening into national strategy. Trump posted “Death, Fire, and Fury” on Truth Social. Xi Jinping published a 141-page plan to ensure that the materials required to deliver that fire and fury remain under Chinese control for the next fifteen years. One leader is fighting a war. The other is winning the peace. And the 141 pages that will determine which strategy prevails were published the same week the bombs started falling.

@ed_fin What precisely were they risking? Did Onassis and Fredriksen sail aboard their own vessels?

My comments on Greek shipping legend George Prokopiou this morning in the Financial Times.

Penis-gate i norsk skihopping?!! Eller slapp påstand uten substans fra tyske Bild?

@KnuvHot Denne gangen tror jeg faktisk det kan være det beste/eneste alternativet.

@rabalderhaug Fra skanse til skanse er sjelden en god løsning.

To ting i Epstein-saken jeg ikke skjønner: 1) Hvorfor tror noen kommentatorer at det blir bedre for kronprinsesse Mette-Marit og Jagland dersom de "forteller alt"? Det kan da tvert imot bli enda verre. 2) Hvordan kan Brende tro han skal slippe unna og få beholde jobben i WEF?

Knekkpunktet på 10 millioner kroner, grensen for hva som regnes som "dyr bolig", slår knallhardt ut for de som passerer den grensen med SSBs nye boligmodell:e24.no/norsk-oekonomi…

@DouglasKMurray @nypost Not you as well?! TLS hits far too many people, and makes the brains of even the most intelligent rot away. Sad.

Trump's new Board of Peace is necessary because the UN has failed again and again. ⁦@nypost⁩ nypost.com/2026/01/22/opi…

@Gutfeldfox @Grok How many wind turbines are operational in China today, and what is the estimated annual power generation in TWh?

Trump's Davos Smackdown

@JohnLeFevre Nope. People will remember this unforgivable insult: "You know, they'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan, or this or that, and they did, they stayed a little back, a little off the front lines."

This is probably the best takeaway from Davos.

Denne 😂:

Etter at Mark Rutte foran kamera "irettesatte" Trump i går ved å påpeke det store antallet falne allierte i Afghanistan, bare måtte Trump svare ved å hevde at NATO-soldatene var "bak frontlinjene". Dette er til og med verre enn hans "vil ikke prioritere fred" SMS til Støre.

@Shawn_Farash You ARE a comedian after all 👏👏

Good morning X! President Trump seems very excited about the upcoming Greenland deal... Greenland should be ours anyway. Geographically it makes more sense than to be under Europe's control. We may not "own it" per se, but it sounds like total access will be granted to the US.

@DerrickEvans4WV You mean HE settles for what HE could’ve had day one 😂✌️ Bases and more millitary presence. You’re welcome 👍

🚨WATCH: Byron York breaks down Trump’s Greenland strategy — straight out of The Art of the Deal. “He asks for ten times what he wants, the other side freaks out, huge news cycle, back & forth, then they settle for what they could’ve had day one.”

@RepDanCrenshaw 😂😂😂✌️

You would think the panicans would know by now to trust the plan. President Trump and Secretary Rubio continue to lead with strength and conviction on behalf of the United States.

@FoxNews Not so sure that Trump himself will remember?

ON THIN ICE: President Trump issues a firm warning to Denmark over Greenland, making it clear that the U.S. will remember if its request for "world protection" is rejected: "So we want a piece of ice for world protection, and they won't give it." "We've never asked for anything else and we could have kept that piece of land and we didn't sell. They have a choice. You can say yes, and we will be very appreciative — or you can say no and we will remember."

Hva mener Trump med at han ikke vil "use force"? Det er vel begenset til at han utelukker millitær makt? Eller tror noen at også hans nåværende maktbruk i form av straffetoll fra 1. februar kan bli trukket tilbake?

@Polymarket @EthanWoo WARNING - STRONG LANGUAGE EXPECTED 😂They’ve had O’Leary on live before.

@EthanWoo Source: the CEO of Ryanair.

@elonmusk @Teslaconomics I so tired of all your shit, Elon. Why do we really follow you here on X? Too much and too low quality. Now 235.6 million followers minus one ;-)

@Teslaconomics The insufferable, special needs chimp currently running Ryan Air is an accountant. Has no idea how airplanes even fly.

Michael O’ Leary is fucked. Now I think there’s a much higher chance that Elon will buy Ryanair and remove him as CEO. When you have fuck you money, you have the full right to do what you want with it. Now I think a Tesla-SpaceX electric plane could be in the works…
