Maybe the UK should have listened to Trump in his first term when he said they needed to stop being a leech and relying on the goodheartedness of others for their defense? The guy's been saying it since 2016.... WTF has the UK done to defend themself in the last 10 freaking years?!

So not only has Iran brazenly lied about its ballistic missile range capacity, but this means it can probably hit the UK with them - and we have zero, I repeat ZERO, defence against these missiles. Very worrying.

@PaulGoldEagle What about the Houthis? The IRGC funded Iranians in the US and UK? The drones sent to Russia for use in Ukraine? The discounted oil sent to China and paid for in CNY instead of USD? The wedge that Iran has put between the gulf states?

THE DOMINO EFFECT NOBODY IS EXPLAINING TO YOU Iran is not just a country at war. It's a funding machine. Since 1979, the Islamic regime has been the single biggest financier of terrorism in the Middle East. Here is what collapses the moment that regime falls: DOMINO 1: Hezbollah (Lebanon) Iran sends them $700M to $1B+ per year. That is their entire war budget. No Iran = no Hezbollah. DOMINO 2: Hamas (Gaza) 93% of Hamas funding comes from Iran. $100-350M per year in cash. No Iran = Hamas has no money to fight. DOMINO 3: Houthis (Yemen) $100-200M per year in direct transfers. Plus weapons. Plus training. Plus IRGC commanders on the ground. No Iran = Houthis go back to being a tribal militia with AKs. DOMINO 4: Iraqi Militias Kata'ib Hezbollah. Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq. Badr Organization. All funded, armed, and directed by Iran's IRGC. No Iran = they lose their patron. Fast. DOMINO 5: Syrian Militias Iran spent $16 BILLION propping up Assad. The entire Syrian proxy network runs on Iranian money. No Iran = no money, no mission. People keep asking why this operation matters. This is why. One source. Five networks. Billions in annual terror funding. Pull the source. The whole network dies.

@RT_com You can have our offer right now....

IRAN’S DEMANDS TO END WAR — official to Al-Mayadeen — Guarantees no future wars — Closure of US military bases in region — Compensation to Iran — ‘End wars on all fronts in region’ — New legal regime for Strait of Hormuz — Extradition of elements from ‘hostile media’ to Iran

@ericswalwell That’s why we need the SAVE act. Stop MAGA from cheating again!

The only way MAGA knows how to win is by cheating. latimes.com/california/sto…

@TheRabbitHole @grok list the top-25 countries with the per capita electricity generation in descending order.

China produces: — Almost 1/3 of the world’s electricity. — Over 2x the amount of the United States. — More electricity than the next 6 top producing nations combined.

I don’t know if this is a good idea… Yeah, it’ll hurt the IRGC, but it will also make it difficult for the next regime who will need popular support. I guess you can’t win a doubleheader if you lose the first game, but I think maybe taking the longer path or targeting IRGC members might be better in the long run.

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. President Trump confirmed that he will start by striking Iran's BIGGEST power plant in 48 hours if the Strait of Hormuz is not opened Things just got a LOT worse for the regime. The clock is ticking. "...within 48 HOURS from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST!"

@NFTBatt @MarioNawfal You’ve got it bass ackwards… Iran having long range missiles only proves that the US was correct to bomb them into the Stone Age before they cold put nukes on them. Invest in map making companies, soon all maps will be replaced with ones that say Persia instead of Iran.

Iran just proved their missiles can reach Europe with that Diego Garcia shot? 🔥🗺️ 4000km like it’s nothing 😅 While the hawks yell ‘strike harder,’ this shows endless escalation only makes them smarter and the world less safe. Can’t bomb your way out of this one. Europe just realized the war came to them. Time for real diplomacy over more chaos – deals beat destruction every time 💼🕊️ Who’s tired of the same old cycle?

🇮🇷🇺🇸🇬🇧 Iran just proved its missiles can reach far beyond the Middle East Iran fired two intermediate-range ballistic missiles at Diego Garcia, a joint U.S.-UK military base sitting 4,000 kilometers away in the middle of the Indian Ocean. Neither hit the base, but the message landed harder than any warhead could. Tehran has always publicly claimed its missile range tops out at 2,000 km. This strike attempt doubles that number overnight. The Khorramshahr-4 that likely carried out the attack can also deliver cluster warheads, the same munitions that have been devastating Israeli cities for three weeks. Look at the map. A 4,000 km range from Tehran draws a circle that reaches Paris, London, and most of Europe. Every NATO capital that thought this war was a distant Middle Eastern problem just realized Iranian missiles could theoretically reach their doorstep. Source: @sentdefender WSJ

@piersmorgan Stop freaking out… They probably wouldn’t have put nukes on them. We should have waited until they did before we fought them, right?

@4thOfJuly365 I’ll tell you what he’s failing on on… Same as his first term, but not as bad… He is not annihilating the Democratic Party. After his term, they are going to extract revenge. They need to be seen as the lunatics that they are and lose their base.

Both Arby’s and Wendy’s meat looked sus to me from the beginning. I haven’t ate at either since the 1980’s. There was a very good Roast Beef place in my city named Bill & Bobs, while Arby’s looked like some kind of loaf like a beef hot dog or something. I found vein pieces in Wendy’s burger that just gave me the creeps and I refused to ever go back.

American went to Arby’s and noticed the meat seamed thicker and not the same texture as normal This meat is from the popular Roast Beef sandwich It definitely looks very strange…. While looking into it I wasn’t able to find any public reports of Arby’s changing their meat suppliers or ingredients being used This color and look isn’t typical of roast beef spoiling. If it was spoiling the color would be a dull grey with greenage. The meat would typically look slimy, have mold and a dull look with crusty edges Always check your food before eating

@elonmusk At $15 per kilogram, maybe we can get what we always wanted all along… 30 min travel times between any pair of: Boca Chica Shanghai Berlin Sydney or Perth Mumbai

Big difference

@HawkEmDownChris If I have $3M, my friends will buy me a lot of alcohol. I won't even need to ask.

Can you do it?

@historyinmemes The last guillotine execution in France was in 1977. youtube.com/watch?v=8s2zeg…

In 1939, France carried out its last public guillotine execution.

@codiguillos I believe that cafe is in Indonesia. I'm living in China, and they have a system here where your disability insurance cost gets reduced by hiring disabled people.

@mohitlaws Welp.... That post aged like milk.

Donald Trump asked the world to join a multinational naval coalition to keep the Strait of Hormuz open. 🇮🇹 Italy: Rejected 🇪🇸 Spain: Rejected 🇯🇵 Japan: Rejected 🇫🇷 France: Hesitant 🇳🇴 Norway: Rejected 🇨🇦 Canada: Rejected 🇦🇺 Australia: Rejected 🇩🇪 Germany: Rejected 🇨🇳 China: No response 🇬🇧 UK: No commitment 🇳🇱 Netherlands: No response 🇰🇷 South Korea: No confirmation America looks increasingly isolated.

@ThomasSowell I think we need a law that only people who have actually worked a job or owned a business can be elected to Congress.
