The power of sanctions is now available to Iran. This is the conclusion we must draw. We applied the sanctions (economic) weapon liberally and ruthlessly to crush nations who did things with which we disagreed. Now, it is being applied to us. I say that with no relish or happiness—and if anybody is tempted to enjoy the schedenfreud, I urge them not to do so, because if this doesn't end soon, either with the USAF entirely suppressing Iranian fires or Trump accepting a colossal geostrategic loss, the pain will be worse than anything we have felt for almost a hundred years.

🇺🇸 Mi opinión más sensata sobre Trump es que quiere provocar una implosión semi-controlada del mundo, al no poder ya competir con China, y, en el proceso, manipula los mercados para enriquecerse y crear su propia dinastía familiar en Estados Unidos. Creo que no hay mucho más.

@Argemino Todo porque no fuimos los europeos quienes nos apuramos a firmar el acuerdo mutuamente beneficioso (€€€) con Rusia dejando a EEUU por fuera...

Fuentes del Gobierno británico y de la UE temen que EEUU no solo se desentienda de Europa, sino que firme un acuerdo con Rusia y se vuelva en su contra. thetimes.com/article/584309…

Iran is launching large-scale information operations. Transparency & the truth should be democracies' biggest strategic advantage to counter authoritarian disinformation. But Trump's systematic lying is causing long-term damage to US resilience & defences against disinfo.

@GegeRpz A mí muy pequeño me enseñaron: "el dinero lo puede comprar casi todo, menos lo verdaderamente importante".

Creo saber cual es el mayor defecto de este narcisista 😝😝😝😝😝😝 Trump todo lo ha tenido que pagar, hasta el amor, eso si es ser un gran perdedor. A él le aplica el dinero da la felicidad, porque por sí mismo jamás la tendría, de hecho no es feliz, es un ser muy acomplejado

Los que han "logrado" entrar a su círculo, ya saben a qué se debe.

Ahora es el turno de Tailandia 🇹🇭 Crisis energética en desarrollo 👇 Informa @surajit_ghosh2

@Lucho2321 Para mí es indistinto si un colombiano gobierna a Venezuela o un venezolano gobierna Colombia. Somos casi lo mismo. Lo que me importan son SUS IDEAS y el desarrollo que pueda aportar.

@CesarSabas Osea tu quieres que nos gobierne un colombiano

De ésta forma siempre seremos geopolíticamente irrelevantes. Lo primero que tenemos que hacer es una ALIANZA en todas las áreas con Colombia, con miras a unirnos algún día. Luego, enfocarnos en nuestro verdadero interés: el Caribe. No debemos tener más contradicciones con 🇨🇴

No se puede negar que Bukele ha hecho un tremendo gobierno en El Salvador.

@CarlosSarPrada @_thMino Sí, pero hay que ir paso a paso.

@_thMino @CesarSabas Insuficiente. La unidad hispana al completo.

En realidad eso es falso. La Gran Colombia no duró porque seamos "muy diferentes" sino por razones geográficas. Las mismas razones que pierden vigencia con las nuevas tecnologías.

My comments in this @Reuters exclusive: Even after weeks of strikes, Iran continues launching from sites that have been heavily targeted. That suggests U.S. assessments may be overstating degradation.

@thomasjuneau It depends; if they retain control of the strait, no. In that case, they would emerge much stronger.

Many say the Islamic Republic "wins by not losing" - by merely surviving, it wins. That is true, but only in a narrow sense. It is also true that while it will likely not collapse from the war, it will emerge with its military and security capabilities significantly degraded.

@DrSergioK Bueno, si a los inversores les parece que la Venezuela de Delcy no es estable, ahí tienen en el Medio Oriente muchos pozos petroleros "estables" en los que invertir. Con su respectiva lluvia diaria de drones y misiles iraníes.

Estabilidad significa elegir nuevas autoridades en Venezuela. Y los inversores lo saben.

This was exactly the scenario the Prioritisers in Washington, such as @ElbridgeColby, warned about. They were wafted away almost disdainfully. And remember, folks, we're not even talking about what's left to defend against China, the US's most important rival. It's over. It took the neocons only 25 years to squander a near impregnable geopolitical position, in which the United States was more stronger than its rivals than any great power had been in history, and, as William Wohlforth wrote in 1999, was the first nation in history to be decisively stronger in every individual aspect of power -- military, economic, technological and geopolitical -- than any of its rivals. And they took only a quarter of a century to destroy that position. They will be judged by future historians to have been contemptible dilettantes, disgracefully selfish and monstrously hubristic, driven by their emotions rather than their minds, unwilling to account for consequences, and blunderingly malfeasant. They took the greatest geopolitical, economic, social, political and technological heritage in the history of the world and squandered it within only a quarter of a century.

Haaretz: After initial sprint, Iran missile attacks settling into marathon pace. Similar trend to strikes in the Gulf documented by @ka_grieco. Bad news, but unsurprising -- Iran's missile capacity steady after a *full month* of US/Isr war. haaretz.com/israel-news/se…

Lo que está haciendo Irán en el Estrecho de Ormuz es completamente ILEGAL. Ahora bien, ¿no fue lo mismo que hizo EEUU en la costa Venezolana en enero y ahora en Cuba? Destruir el derecho internacional marítimo conlleva todas éstas cosas.

This👇 The war with Iran would likely benefit the Delcy administration more than any other country in the world. While she already enjoys Trump’s strong support, the rising oil price would also bring an economic boom and, in turn, increased popular support for the Chavismo 3.0.
