That happened to be me.
But it's not me.
It's you guys.

One of the newest and most surprising elements of the Iran peace draft deal is a proposed investment fund for Iran โ reportedly $300 billion.
Iran originally framed this as reparations for war damage (which it estimates at $300Bโ$1T). The U.S. side is rebranding it as an international "investment fund" it would help facilitate โ a softer framing that avoids the word reparations.
The idea apparently originated with Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, who floated promoting Tehran real estate projects and a broader investment vehicle as deal sweeteners.

China is building an extensive network of launch pads, bunkers, and communications facilities near its nuclear missile silos in the remote Xinjiang desert.
Satellite images show 80+ concrete pads and two large octagon-shaped military installations, likely designed to protect China's ability to launch a retaliatory nuclear strike if attacked first.
Analysts say the scale is unprecedented, potentially housing mobile missile launchers, air-defense batteries, and electronic warfare systems.

Officials said it was initially unclear whether the drone carried explosives or was a decoy, and concluded after reviewing the incident that there was no safe opportunity to intercept it.

Putin has launched a $26 billion state-backed longevity initiative, driven by his personal obsession with aging. It includes organ bioprinting, growing human organs inside mini-pigs, gene therapy, and cryotherapy.
His daughter and a close ally lead the effort, though critics say it has produced little peer-reviewed science and may be more about securing funding than real results.

Polish President Karol Nawrocki said he will propose revoking Volodymyr Zelensky's Order of the White Eagle, Polandโs highest state honor.
He criticized Zelensky for naming a Ukrainian military unit after the "Heroes of the UPA," arguing that the move glorifies a group responsible for crimes against Poles and provides material for Russian propaganda.

Russia has intensified covert efforts to undermine Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan ahead of Armeniaโs June 7 election, fearing that his re-election would cement the countryโs growing alignment with the West.
According to Western intelligence and government officials, Moscowโs alleged activities include disinformation campaigns, support for pro-Russian candidates, and discussions about transporting large numbers of Russian-Armenians to Armenia to influence the vote.
Officials also claim that Russian-linked networks have increased online efforts to discredit Pashinyan and bolster opposition figures such as Samvel Karapetyan, who denies any involvement with Russian support.
Some Western officials have additionally raised concerns about threats to Pashinyanโs safety and say the United States has provided assistance to his security in recent years.

Trump:
Jill Biden is now out there finally admitting that she did NOT know what went wrong with Sleepy Joe during our spectacular, and highly rated, 2024 Presidential Debate, where Joe was not exactly performing to the highest level of debate standards.
She said that she thought he was having a โstroke,โ and various other really bad things, and yet never rushed onto the stage to help her troubled husband, as any good wife would do. The only thing she failed to mention was how well I was doing prior to his near total collapse.
In other words, as many have asked, did my strong performance in that debate cause him to plain and simple โchoke,โ leading to his ignominious defeat, or were other reasons the cause? Nobody else knows the answer to that, BUT I DO!!!

We had a Russian Geran-2 drone that departed from Russia.
We know its trajectory, we know where it passed through Ukraine, we know where it entered Romania.
It was part of a swarm of 43 Russian drones, of which only one reached Romanian territory.
