Psychology of war 1. The most common reaction upon a war, nearby or far away, is denial. Look into history. People turn into ostriches. It’s far from my bed. Until one day the water supply, heating, electricity and internet will be cut off by hibrid war.

Dear President @realdonaldtrump this is what our failing right leader @GeertWilders is doing, desperately seeking attention ratting out our prime minister and perfectly willing to hurt our national interests. Please don’t trust him, he is the biggest loser of the last elections, a fake nationalist like yourself, with no friends left. Sad and pathetic! Thank for your attention to this matter.

The world economy is currently doing its best impression of a Trump casino. Markets are cratering. Gold is sliding. Silver is sliding. Oil is hitting records. And unlike every other crisis in living memory, there is no off-ramp, no bailout phone, no adult in the room ready to talk everyone down from the ledge. Just the sound of chips hitting the floor and a man in a red hat somewhere telling everyone it’s going brilliantly. Which brings us, with a certain horrible logic, to Atlantic City. Because before Trump got his hands on the global economy, he practiced on a smaller scale. Three casinos, one boardwalk, and a financial philosophy that can be summarised as follows: borrow enormous sums at ruinous interest rates, collect a fat salary, and let someone else hold the bag when the whole thing goes sideways. He refined this technique over twenty-five years and four bankruptcies. It is, in retrospect, less a cautionary tale and more a dry run. Trump arrived in Atlantic City in the early 1980s with gold letters, junk bonds, and absolute certainty that he was about to reinvent American gambling. He ended up doing something rather different. His first casino was Trump Plaza, opened in 1984. Then came Trump’s Castle. Then the centrepiece: the Trump Taj Mahal, whose $1 billion construction was financed by junk bonds at an interest rate of 14 percent.  Trump called it the eighth wonder of the world. It went bankrupt in 1991, less than a year after opening. That was just the warmup. His casino companies made four trips to bankruptcy court, each time persuading bondholders to accept less money rather than be wiped out. But the companies repeatedly added more expensive debt and returned to the court for protection from lenders.  The holding company Trump Entertainment Resorts filed for bankruptcy three times – in 2004, 2009 and 2014, weighed down by debt each time.  Here is the part Trump doesn’t mention at rallies: even as his companies did poorly, Trump did well. He put up little of his own money, shifted personal debts to the casinos and collected millions of dollars in salary, bonuses and other payments. The burden of his failures fell on investors and others who had bet on his business acumen.  A Temple University law professor who studied the casinos concluded they lost more jobs and money than competitors and went through more bankruptcies than any other major business in America.  Trump’s response to the 2004 bankruptcy: “I don’t think it’s a failure.”  Trump Plaza was eventually demolished in February 2021 using 3,000 sticks of dynamite.  It took about ten seconds to come down. The loans took rather longer. And now, with gold and silver falling, oil surging, and equity markets convulsing from Seoul to Sydney, one is left with an uneasy feeling that the man who perfected the art of the managed collapse has simply found a larger venue. The boardwalk was just the dress rehearsal. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

😠 A Russian politician has abducted and renamed a Ukrainian child. Sergey Mironov allegedly took the girl from Kherson, changed her identity, and separated her from her sister, in what is considered a war crime. 🧵 1/9

@Scaramucci Incremental commitment and shared culpability - this is exactly how organized crime gangs and cult-like structures function.

Let me explain the sinister nature of what Trump actually does to people. He asks: are you loyal to me? Yes. Good. No forever wars. Are you with me? Yes. No forever wars. Then he starts the wars. And now he needs you to be with him on the wars too. And then the Epstein files come out. Allegations involving children. And he needs you to look the other way on that too. That’s the mechanism. That’s how it works. He moves the goalposts incrementally. Each ask is slightly more compromising than the last. And by the time you realize how far you’ve traveled from your own principles you are so deep in that you can’t find your way back. Loyalty to Trump doesn’t mean loyalty to an idea or a policy or a vision for the country. It means asymmetric, unconditional, no-questions-asked loyalty to whatever he decides is true today. You have to understand the sinister nature of that to understand what is really happening in Washington right now. This isn’t politics. This is a loyalty trap.

@JamesTate121 Miller is the real prince of Darkness. You feel exhausted about the crazy world Trump created? More evil is yet to come, Miller!

A Ukrainian defense tech company just broke into Wall Street — in the middle of Russia’s war. Drone AI startup Swarmer went public on NASDAQ at $5 and closed at $31 on day one — a 520% surge, turning a $67M company into a $670M valuation — Kyiv Independent. 1/

Dit is toch werkelijk ongelooflijk

🚨 NATO Steps Into Ukraine for First Time During Full-Scale War NATO military command, led by Adm. Pierre Vandier, has arrived in Ukraine, a significant sign in growing cooperation. Key discussions: ▪️ Ukraine joining NATO exercises as a “Red Team” adversary ▪️ Expansion of JATEC (NATO-Ukraine Training Centre) ▪️ Scaling command systems & battlefield analytics A clear signal of deeper NATO–Ukraine integration.

If what he is saying is true, this makes sense given Gabbard's character. Lev Parnas: "Folks, I’m going to be very direct with you. What I’m hearing from my sources right now is serious — and if it plays out, it will send shockwaves through Washington. Tulsi Gabbard is actively considering resigning as DNI. This comes on the heels of Joe Kent’s resignation — where he made it clear there was no imminent threat from Iran — and what we are now seeing is not coincidence. It’s a fracture inside Trump’s intelligence and national security circle that is getting harder and harder to contain. Let me explain what’s really going on. Over the last two days, during her testimony before Congress, Gabbard made something very clear — without saying it outright. She never once expressed support for Donald Trump’s decisions. Instead, she carefully walked a legal line, repeatedly affirming that the President has the right to make decisions, while stopping short of saying she agrees with those decisions. That’s not loyalty. That’s distance. At the same time, Joe Kent publicly undercut the administration’s position, saying there was no imminent threat — and then resigned. When you have senior figures breaking from the same messaging — especially on something as sensitive as Iran — that’s not policy disagreement… that’s a rift. Now here’s what I’m being told that the media is NOT reporting. Trump is concerned. And he should be. Because Tulsi Gabbard isn’t just another cabinet official. She has been deeply involved behind the scenes in Trump’s election strategy infrastructure — working on so-called “election reform” initiatives in states like Georgia and Arizona, and tied into broader efforts around foreign interference narratives, including Venezuela, that could be used as leverage politically. That’s not a small role. That’s central to the operation. And now — she’s pulling away. That’s why this is creating panic internally. And it gets even more complicated. Inside Trump’s inner circle right now, I’m hearing there are two camps forming: Those who want Gabbard out immediately And those who are trying to keep her in place at all costs But let me be very clear here — Trump and his inner circle are doing everything possible to keep her from leaving. Because this isn’t just about optics. This is about timing. With the midterms approaching, the last thing Trump can afford is a high-profile fracture like this — especially from someone as deeply embedded in his national security and election infrastructure as Tulsi Gabbard. They know if she walks now, it doesn’t just create headlines — it creates exposure. And at the same time, the pressure is building from all sides. The Tucker Carlson fractures, the Laura Loomer wing, and other voices inside the MAGA ecosystem are pulling in different directions — turning what was once a controlled operation into internal chaos. That pressure is spilling directly into the White House. And it’s becoming harder and harder to contain. Because they also know what happens next if she leaves. Tucker Carlson. Independent platforms. Uncontrolled conversations. Places where she can speak freely — and where the narrative can’t be managed. And that’s the real fear. At the same time, there are major shifts happening inside the White House itself. As I’ve been telling you: Susie Wiles is on her way out Stephen Miller is now effectively taking over, acting as chief of staff And I’m hearing Alina Habba may be stepping into a larger role This is a power struggle unfolding in real time — and nobody in mainstream media is connecting these dots for you. While this internal chaos is unfolding: Gas prices are climbing. Wars are expanding. Economic pressure is building on everyday Americans. And where is the leadership? ------- By Lev Parnas

@JamesTate121 But tulsi also has her own line to the Kremlin. I have to believe if she is distancing it is because Putin is almost finished with Trump as a useful idiot

TRUMP'S TARIFFS = A MASTERCLASS IN HOW TO MAKE ENEMIES.

When the war in Ukraine eventually ends, the smartest investment any European army could make will be hiring Madyar and his team to advise them on organizing and scaling up unmanned systems. It will be worth every penny

44°C in Arizona… in March. Let that sink in. Records aren’t just breaking — they’re collapsing. This isn’t natural variability. This is human-driven warming, and it’s speeding up. End war - come together and build climate mitigation urgently.
