@hayke02 @DrNeilStone The normal process takes 12 to 14 years. Compressing a 14 year process into one year is a pretty extreme case of rushing as far as I’m concerned. If you want to believe this was just a normal process, under no political pressure to be expedited, so be it.

@MarioNawfal Gaddafi was planning a gold backed African currency to replace the French sponsored CFA Franc, which is used in 18 African countries. Paris & London convinced Obama to oust him. Saddam also had planned a gold backed currency, only to be deposed & killed.

🇺🇸🇮🇷The war nobody is framing correctly is about the dollar, not the nukes... Iran was selling 90% of its oil to China in yuan. Not dollars. It was part of a broader BRICS push to bypass the dollar in global energy trade. Venezuela was doing the same. Trump took out both within weeks of each other. That's not a coincidence. The entire American economic model runs on one assumption: the world buys and sells oil in dollars, and those dollars get recycled back into U.S. debt. The GCC is the engine of that system. Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, and Bahrain sell oil in dollars and reinvest the proceeds into American assets. That cycle funds the $39 trillion in national debt that keeps the American economy functioning. Iran threatened that system in two ways. It sold oil outside the dollar. And it had the military capability to threaten the GCC nations that anchor the petrodollar. A nuclear-armed Iran could eventually coerce its neighbors into abandoning the dollar entirely. Now look at what the war actually achieved. Iran's ability to threaten the GCC militarily is being degraded. Gulf states that were quietly diversifying toward China are now completely dependent on American protection again. The F-35 sale to Saudi Arabia locks Riyadh into the U.S. weapons ecosystem for decades. And every Iranian oil sale in yuan that gets taken offline is a sale that reverts back to dollars. The consequences if this fails are existential. If the U.S. withdraws from the Middle East without securing the petrodollar system, the GCC could become client states of whoever guarantees their security next. Japan and South Korea would question American reliability. Europe would accelerate its pivot away from Washington. Dollar demand collapses and America can no longer finance its debt. That's why there's no real off-ramp. The nukes are the justification. The missiles are the pretext. The dollar is the reason. And the people paying the price are everyone caught in between.

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 Tomorrow is the deadline. Here are the scenarios... Trump said Tuesday is "Power Plant Day and Bridge Day." Iran said no deal. Something has to give. Here's what could actually happen: Scenario 1: Iran blinks. Tehran accepts some version of a ceasefire, perhaps reopening Hormuz partially or allowing monitored shipping. Trump declares victory. The most optimistic outcome but the least likely given U.S. intelligence says Iran believes it has the upper hand and doesn't trust Washington at all. Scenario 2: Trump finds a reason to delay again. He's already pushed this deadline multiple times. Iran offers a small concession, maybe more Pakistani tankers through Hormuz, and Trump takes it as a sign of progress. Both sides may even quietly agree on this. It buys time without either side losing face. Scenario 3: Trump declares victory and walks away. He already told aides he'd leave with Hormuz closed. He could frame the military damage as mission accomplished, claim the new regime is "more reasonable," and punt Hormuz to an international coalition. Iran keeps the Strait. Trump keeps the narrative. The world cleans up the mess. Scenario 4: Trump goes all in. He's threatened this repeatedly and delayed every time. But the rescue mission may have emboldened him. Former aides say his confidence in his own judgment has grown. If he strikes power plants, 85 million Iranians lose electricity. Iran's response would likely be the most devastating of the entire war: desalination plants, Bab el-Mandeb, every bridge on their published target list. A retired CENTCOM commander thinks pressure will eventually work. U.S. and allied intelligence say the opposite: the new Supreme Leader is harder line than his father, and the IRGC is gaining authority, not losing it. Over a month in, Trump is still asking the same question he asked on day one. Why haven't they just given in? Tomorrow we find out what happens when that question still has no answer.

@TukiFromKL Congress’s spending needs to be cut by at least $750 billion to stabilize the dollar. Otherwise it’s going to end up like Weimar’s Reichsmark. Bring the troops home. Close foreign bases. Cut defense spending.

🚨 this is the biggest scam in american history and it's happening in broad daylight.. trump wants to add $7 trillion to the national debt.. for military spending.. $7 trillion.. that's more than the entire GDP of japan.. nearly six times every american's credit card debt combined.. this is the same administration that created DOGE to "eliminate government waste".. that fired thousands of federal workers to save millions.. that gutted research grants.. slashed foreign aid.. told americans the debt was an existential threat.. in 2011 republicans held the entire economy hostage over a $2.1 trillion debt ceiling raise.. shut down the government.. called obama "fiscally irresponsible".. that fight lasted months and nearly crashed the global economy over what is now less than a third of what trump wants to hand the pentagon in a single budget.. the debt was never the problem.. it was the leash.. they put it around your neck every time they wanted to cut something you use.. and take it off every time the pentagon needed a raise.. DOGE was built to make you think $50,000 was a lot so you wouldn't notice when $7 trillion walked out the back door..

@ivan_8848 In 2008, Merkel warned Bush, expanding NATO into Ukraine would be regarded as an act of war by Moscow, so Berlin would veto its membership. Thus, Bush conned Kyiv with a fake offer in order to create a crisis that would justify sanctioning Russia. 18 yrs later, Berlin wants war.

'We will win a war with Russia' – Bundeswehr Lieutenant General Alexander Zollfrank repeats Hitler's promises to the Germans. [If Russia attacks us], such a strike will be carried out in all dimensions – on land, in the air, and at sea. Such a scenario would also be accompanied by long-range strikes in depth, that is, in the direction of France and Germany, to attack key infrastructure nodes. We cannot afford for weapons and ammunition to arrive too late. We cannot afford lengthy discussions before making decisions. On the other hand, I am not pessimistic – I am convinced that we will succeed. I believe there is high resolve in Germany, as well as among our allies – in all 32 countries. - If Europe or NATO were attacked by Russia – could NATO, could Germany win such a war? - I am firmly convinced that we can. Of course, there are still shortcomings that we identify and address daily, and we are working diligently to address them. But if I myself weren't convinced that such an operation, such a war, could be successfully carried out, deterrence would not be effective in principle.

Absolute bombshell on Al Jazeera. The US and Israel have deliberately bombed over 30 universities across Iran, assassinating professors in their homes and massacring over 60 students. Washington is systematically trying to destroy Iranian scientific progress.

@xrlq @oversoaringeyes @BasedMikeLee The idea that a Chinese woman can fly in on a tourist visa, drop a baby, fly out with her child the next week, & that baby was “under the jurisdiction” of the United States is obviously ridiculous. The child was under her jurisdiction & like her, is a citizen of China.

@MarioNawfal NATO is a purely defensive alliance limited to the North Atlantic region. Its only viable enemy was the Warsaw Pact, which is long gone. It is not America’s vehicle to drag nations into participating in America’s offensive wars all over the globe.

🇪🇺 NATO was built on "all for one." Right now it's more like "you got this, bro." The U.S. funds, arms, and basically carries a 32-country alliance. The whole idea since 1949 was simple. If one member fights, everyone shows up. Fast forward to now... The U.S. steps into a conflict and suddenly the group chat goes silent. 🇫🇷 France blocks weapons flights over its territory. Trump calls them out. They shrug. 🇮🇹 Italy refuses landing rights for U.S. bombers. Some planes reportedly turned back mid-route. 🇪🇸 Spain shuts its airspace and locks both bases. Doors closed. 🇵🇱 Poland refuses to send Patriot batteries. 🇬🇧 The UK, the ride-or-die ally, goes on record: "This is not our war." 🇩🇪 Germany calls the whole operation illegal while hosting the largest U.S. base in Europe. 🇦🇺 Australia steps back. 🇨🇦 Canada doesn't even show up. And that’s when it hits… These aren't random countries. This is the core of the alliance. Their reasoning is simple enough: "You didn't consult us. You started it." For years Trump kept saying NATO only works when it's convenient. Right now that argument is walking on its own two feet. 32 countries. One in the fight. The rest watching from the sidelines.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 The last 48 hours to prevent catastrophe... Axios reports a two-phase deal is being negotiated through Pakistani, Egyptian, and Turkish mediators, plus direct text messages between Witkoff and Iran's FM Araghchi. Phase one: a 45-day ceasefire. Phase two: permanent end to the war. Mediators say fully reopening Hormuz and resolving the uranium question can only happen in the final deal, not upfront. Iran won't surrender its two biggest bargaining chips for a temporary pause. The core problem: Iran doesn't trust this won't be another Gaza. A ceasefire on paper that Israel ignores whenever it wants. Tehran wants guarantees the bombing actually stops and doesn't restart in 45 days. Given Israel's track record of striking through every previous diplomatic window, that fear isn't irrational. Trump told Axios directly: "There is a good chance, but if they don't make a deal, I am blowing up everything over there." The operational plan for a massive strike on Iranian civilian infrastructure is ready to go. Iran has promised to retaliate against Gulf oil and water facilities if it happens. Mediators are warning Tehran this is the last real chance. Trump extended his deadline by 20 hours to Tuesday 8PM ET. That's either a sign negotiations are progressing or one final pause before the most destructive phase of the war begins. Source: Axios

So much has been said about this insanity already, but it really comes down to the Golden Rule: Would YOU want a foreign nation to destroy the utility grid that makes every aspect of modern life possible for yourself and your loved ones? Think about it: power and running water gone overnight. Back to the Stone Age, as some might say. If that happened, how many people would die? What would life be like in the aftermath? There is a reason why this is considered by any decent person to be a war crime, and if you are OK with it being done to someone else you’re no Christian at all, or at least you’re a pathetic excuse for one.

As oligarchs raided Soviet state assets in the 1990’s, jobless Russians even starved to death. Alcoholism and crime were rampant. Life expectancy for men dropped below age 59. Bill Clinton, who visited Moscow a dozen times, cynically manipulated the weak, alcoholic Boris Yeltsin. New Year’s Eve, 31 December 1999, before resigning, Yeltsin appointed Putin, Prime Minister since August, as acting president. Yeltsin's departing words to Putin: "Take care of Russia." Fluent in German, with an economics, law, and security background, Putin inherited a bankrupt country on the brink of civil war and collapse. Today, according to Bloomberg, #Russia has one of the highest foreign exchange reserves in the world. Non-oil and gas revenues surged to record levels in 2023. Due to the complex management of a diverse economy, despite high interest rates, GDP grew by 4.1% in 2024. Russia has a growing number of trading partners. (India recently signed a 10-year oil supply agreement.) Weathering a tsunami of sanctions, Russia has re-industrialized. Along with an abundance of natural and skilled human resources, Russians are re-investing in their booming economy. The number one exporter of fertilizer, non-GMO grain, aluminum and uranium, Russia is also a top producer of dairy and pork products. Russia has a growing middle class, an educated work force, and is achieving unparalleled economic self-sufficiency. Regarding #Ukraine, Putin patiently supported the Minsk accords. While Putin sought a diplomatic solution, Team Biden, the UK and Brussels decided to double down on NATO’s encroachment into the Russian borderlands, now a "Game of Risk." If the US, UK and EU continue rejecting Russian proposals for a comprehensive peace accord – as Putin proposed in December 2021 – the Russian army will continue advancing in the Donbass, Kherson, Zaporizhia and toward Kharkov in the north and Odessa on the Black Sea. As Vladimir Putin and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov have emphasized: There will be no Minsk III, no unconditional ceasefires, no “land swapping,” and no Nazis Banderites and NATO “peacekeepers" in the Russian borderlands.

@Joe__Bassey In a free society (aka capitalist), a business that runs at a loss provides less benefit than the cost of delivering whatever products or services it provides. Once its capital is exhausted, it goes bankrupt. Survivors provide a net benefit. They’re profitable.

“When Profit Rules, Humanity Pays — The System Was Never Designed to Save You.” Fidel Castro didn’t just criticize capitalism—he exposed its core contradiction. A system built on profit cannot prioritize people. It rewards extraction, not compassion; efficiency, not equity; growth, not justice. Look around. When healthcare becomes a business, who gets left behind? When education is priced like a luxury, who is excluded? When resources are controlled by a few, who truly benefits? This is the tension Castro pointed to. Not theory—reality. Capitalism can innovate. It can create wealth. But can it solve inequality when inequality is part of how it functions? That’s the uncomfortable question many avoid. If the system depends on winners and losers, suffering isn’t a flaw. It’s a feature. History shows this pattern clearly—from colonial exploitation to modern global inequality. The same logic, just different language. So we have to ask: Can a system driven by profit ever deliver justice? Or are we expecting morality from something never built to have one? This isn’t about blind ideology. It’s about understanding power—and who it serves.
