@TipsyElmo Fair point on the rate hike.
But it doesn’t change the bigger picture, Takaichi using Europe trips for photo-ops and military deals while Japanese people protest militarization at home.
Distraction + acceleration of the same path.
English

🚨 While Japanese citizens are in the streets protesting militarization and surveillance, their PM is jetting across Europe smiling for cameras and signing fighter jet deals.
Sanae Takaichi’s Europe sprint (London → Rome → G7 France) isn’t strength. It’s distraction.
Low approval at home. Economy under pressure. So she flies out to push the GCAP next-gen fighter jet with UK & Italy, critical minerals alliances to counter China, and drag Europe deeper into Taiwan Strait tensions.
Photo ops with Starmer and Meloni. Big headlines about “alliances”. But watch what’s really happening:
This is Japan’s leadership accelerating military build-up and post-war restrictions erosion while ordinary Japanese keep saying NO.
The people want peace and sovereignty.
The leaders want photo ops and weapons contracts.
From Africa we see it clearly.
Stand with the Japanese people resisting this — not the smiling diplomacy that sells their future.
No bows. Just raw truth. 💪🏿🇯🇵

@ChampRDS Maybe no celebration parties the day before the fight, next time…just a thought. Act humble.

🚨 Ilia Topuria just released a statement following the loss to Justin Gaethje last night
"Justin, congratulations. You said you’d leave your mark on my face… and you did.
You took the sight from my right eye in the first round, and by the end of the second, from my left too.
No excuses.
I had one of the best camps of my life. I came in sharp, prepared, and ready. Last night was your night.
That’s the nature of this game. Glory and pain walk side by side.
I’ll heal. I’ll rest. And I’ll return stronger, wiser, and far more dangerous.
And trust me… this story between us is far from over.
We will have our rematch."

@BlindBearMedia Justin Gaethje stands no chance against Ilia.
Tomorrow Justin gets put to sleep.

@Academic_Farmer @FabrizioRomano You obviously didn’t watch it with this completely wrong comment!

@FabrizioRomano Iran threw away a winning position twice and still couldn't beat New Zealand 😭 that expression on his face says everything.

It sucks to be American.
What an embarrassment.

@academic_la Who can blame them?
It secured their long term existence…to the chagrin of Israel.

There is serious concern among several relevant actors that Iran will use the next 60 days to try and achieve a nuclear breakthrough:
1) IAEA inspectors. Iran holds roughly 440 kg of uranium enriched to 60%, a short technical step from weapons-grade. International monitors put that at enough for around 10 weapons if enriched further.
2) Nuclear analysts. With an operational facility, that 60% stock could reach weapons-grade in weeks, possibly days. The bottleneck was never the centrifuge halls. It was always the material, and the material is still in Iranian hands.
3) The negotiators themselves. The framework defers the hard questions, like stockpile, enrichment, verification, to talks that start later. Vance called the war's result a setback, not elimination. Trump wants the uranium handed over; Iran's source already denied agreeing to that.
4) Anyone who remembers 2015. The last comprehensive deal took two years. This one gives 60 days, no inspection clause, no enrichment freeze, no IAEA access provision for the window. Iran's counter-proposal still demands a sovereign right to enrich.
The fear is simple. A deferral isn't empty space for Iran. It's working room. 60 days with no monitoring and no permission to strike is the cleanest breakout window Tehran has had. The war motivated Iran to get nuclear capabilities to deter another attack. The 60 days give it the opportunity.

Instead of using the money for Board of Peace, repairing US military bases in the region, AI investment and financing US debt, Gulf nations are paying Iran
This must be from Art of the Deal

U.S. is not giving Iran billions under President Trump’s deal, says JD Vance. Gulf nations will fund Iranian reconstruction only if Iran upholds their side of the deal.

@McCon74396 @ianmSC Shame.
Struggling to read the article, I see.
Must be American.

@MichaelWestBiz With Penny Wongstein white anting any criticism of terrorist genocidal zionist Israel kidnapping Australian citizens in International waters and them physically and sexually abusing them, I don't hold much hope.

@BrightInsight6 I love your work Jimmy, but “ misguided fools” has an irony you clearly can’t see!
English

It’s astonishing to see so many angry European’s HATING on the massive success of last night’s grand 250th birthday spectacle
They’re being actively invaded and conquered, but are focusing all their energy on the great things happening in Land of the Free 🇺🇸
Go look at accounts in various comment sections about the UFC White House event….soo many people from European countries are the most vocal spewing negativity about last night. Misguided fools

The American passport is not just a travel document.
It is a psychological artifact. A laminated proof of belonging to the "winning team."
A small blue book that, when you hold it in a foreign country, does something to your posture, your assumptions, your baseline expectation of how you will be treated and what you are owed.
Most Americans have never interrogated that feeling.
They experience it as "natural." As if confidence in your own welcome everywhere on earth is a personality trait and not a political arrangement maintained by carrier groups and reserve currency status and the memory of what happens to countries that seriously inconvenience Washington.
The passport feels like freedom.
It is freedom: real, functional, enviable freedom.
Built on a foundation that the passport holder almost never has to look at.
That is precisely what makes it so effective.

@FarhadGlobal @BRICSinfo @netanyahu They’ve stopped paying for lying positive social media posts.
The shekels dried up.
Didn’t you get the memo?

@BRICSinfo Thank you, @netanyahu.
You are the only leader in the world standing against and fighting all these stupid, radical Muslim terrorists.
IRGC, Hizbollah, Hamas, and all related IRGC proxies and supporters must be wiped out from the planet.

@McCon74396 @ianmSC Sure!
But Google could do the same as there are lots of articles on this.

@TipsyElmo @ianmSC Can you post a screenshot of those empty seats? I'd ask if those empty seats were in the room with you right now, but then I realized you probably never have anyone you know who wants to fill them

@Christine_C84 @LiamBadco Agreed with everything you’ve said.
Can’t help wonder if he will ever be the same fighter?
Seems ego driven and that got smashed too.
Holding a victory party the day prior ? Cringey!
English

@TipsyElmo @LiamBadco More than likely not. As swift as a person can heal though. Gonna be at LEAST 6 months to a year my guess.
English

@LiamBadco Dana was saying he thinks Orbital bone fracture which I'm thinking the same, maybe a broken nose too and possibly a cracked rib (that knee kick was no joke) Gaethje gave Topuria a makeover he wasn't asking for 😬.
I hope Topuria recovers swiftly.
