I am not sure the American military establishment has fully grasped what Trump has actually done here. So let me spell it out in language even a Pentagon procurement officer can understand. Europe has been buying American weapons at a staggering rate. In 2024 alone, US foreign military sales notifications to European countries hit $76 billion. Four times the European average since 2008.  F-35s, missile systems, air defence, ammunition. All of it American. All of it coming with decades of service contracts, maintenance agreements, spare parts, software updates and training programmes worth hundreds of billions more over their operational lifetimes. Between 2020 and 2024, the United States supplied 64 percent of all European weapons imports.  That is now over. Europe has an $860 billion defence plan, and American contractors are being frozen out. The goal is 80 percent of all military purchases from European factories by 2030.  Airbus. Rheinmetall. KNDS. Saab. Leonardo. BAE Systems. They are about to receive the largest order book in the history of European defence industry. Because Trump made it politically impossible for any European government to keep writing cheques to Washington. Some European governments have discussed worries that the Pentagon could remotely disable American F-35 fighters or impose restrictions on how US weapons can be used.  When your supplier is also threatening to annex your allies, that is not paranoia. That is basic procurement logic. Trump set out to make America great again. He has succeeded magnificently. For Rheinmetall. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

BREAKING: Trump’s birthright citizenship scheme implodes after lawyer’s JAW-DROPPING courtroom blunder about Native Americans. Donald Trump sent his top lawyer to the Supreme Court to argue that birthright citizenship should be stripped from hundreds of thousands of American-born babies. It went so badly that his own solicitor general nearly argued Native Americans aren't citizens either — and had to be rescued by a Trump-appointed justice. In one of the most jaw-dropping exchanges of Wednesday's already disastrous hearing, Justice Neil Gorsuch — appointed by Trump himself — pressed Solicitor General D. John Sauer on the logical consequences of the administration's own legal theory. The exchange was as stunning as it was revealing. Gorsuch asked a simple question: under the administration's proposed test for birthright citizenship, are Native Americans born today automatically citizens? Sauer's answer was a slow-motion legal train wreck. First, he said yes — obviously. Then Gorsuch pushed him to set aside the statutes granting Native Americans citizenship and answer based purely on the administration's own constitutional theory. Sauer's answer changed: "No." Under the 1868 congressional debates, he explained, children of tribal Indians were not considered birthright citizens. The courtroom went quiet. Gorsuch pressed harder. But under your test — the domicile test you want this court to adopt today — are tribal Native Americans born on U.S. soil birthright citizens? Sauer fumbled. "I think so... I have to think that through, but that's my reaction." "I'll take the yes," Gorsuch replied — essentially throwing the solicitor general a life preserver before he could drown any further. Let's be absolutely clear about what just happened. The Trump administration walked into the highest court in the land with a legal theory so sweeping, so poorly thought through, that when a justice applied it logically, the government's own lawyer couldn't guarantee that Native Americans — people whose nations existed on this continent thousands of years before the United States did — would qualify as birthright citizens. This is the constitutional chaos that Trump's executive order invites. Once you start unraveling the 14th Amendment's guarantee that all persons born on American soil are citizens, there is no clean stopping point. The administration's own lawyer proved that in real time, in front of the entire nation, while Trump was still in the building — before he turned tail and fled. The 14th Amendment was written to be clear precisely because America had already lived through the horror of deciding that some people born here weren't really citizens. The Supreme Court has upheld birthright citizenship for 157 years. And Trump's lawyer just demonstrated, in spectacular fashion, exactly why those 157 years of precedent exist. Please like and share this post if you believe the Constitution means what it says — for everyone born on American soil.

JUST IN: During a March 31 briefing, President Donald Trump dissolved the foundational guarantee of the post-1945 energy order. “We’ll be leaving very soon,” he said. “What happens in the Strait, we’ll have nothing to do with.” He estimated two to three weeks. He added that if France or any country wants oil, “they’ll go right up through the Strait and they’ll be able to fend for themselves.” He said the strait will reopen “automatically” once the US leaves. Then the S&P 500 closed up 2.9 percent, its largest daily gain since spring 2025. The market celebrated. Understand what it celebrated. Since 1945, the United States has guaranteed freedom of navigation through Hormuz. The Fifth Fleet, the carrier rotations, the basing agreements with Bahrain, Qatar, and the UAE, all exist for this purpose. The implicit promise that 20 percent of the world’s oil would flow without interruption through a 39-kilometre channel has underwritten every energy contract and every GDP forecast for eight decades. In 33 seconds, the president withdrew the promise. Equities rallied. The strait was open on February 27. Operation Epic Fury closed it on February 28. Traffic collapsed 95 percent. Oil hit $107. Insurance surged 1,000 percent. The IRGC built a toll system, collected yuan, and banned American ships from the waterway American taxpayers spent 80 years guaranteeing. Now the president who ordered the strikes is telling the world the crisis is not his problem. He started the fire, sold the water, told the neighbours to buy American fuel, and is leaving the building while the fire burns. This is not the first time Trump has used exit rhetoric as leverage. “Fire and fury” on North Korea led to summits. Mexico tariff threats led to concessions. Soleimani was real but limited. The pattern fits: threaten escalation through April 6 while signalling departure. Assets remain forward. Abraham Lincoln strike group in the Arabian Sea. Three LCS in the Gulf. Marine units staged. No drawdown orders issued. The rhetoric says exit. The fleet says stay. But here is what makes this time structurally different from every previous Trump bluff. In North Korea, the status quo ante was preserved. No war, no change. In Mexico, tariffs were withdrawn. The baseline held. In each case, the pre-threat equilibrium was restored. This time, the pre-threat baseline is permanently gone. The strait was open before the war. It is closed now. If Trump exits in two to three weeks without reopening it, the baseline has permanently shifted. The US will have launched the most expensive military operation since Iraq, achieved every conventional objective, and left the waterway in worse condition than it found it. The bluff pattern has always restored equilibrium. This would be the first time it destroys it. Ghalibaf said it from the other side: “The enemy has now set its operational ambition to opening a strait that was open before the war began.” Trump and Ghalibaf agree on the facts. They agree the strait was open. They agree it is closed. They disagree only on who owns the consequence. And in 33 seconds, Trump answered: nobody does. The guarantee is withdrawn. The strait is still closed. The market went up. That is the epitaph of Pax Americana’s energy doctrine, written in a press briefing and priced in by closing bell. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…
