The Iranians, if you look at their X accounts, they are trying to create economic problems in the US, either using the bond yields, using the oil price.

And, you know, just because whether it’s Stephanie, Bloomberg, the Financial Times, even the Wall Street Journal, you know, are so unhinged with Trump derangement syndrome, they want to give the Iranians a platform to operate on.

The Wall Street Journal said the Iranians are rebuilding their missile inventory.

Maybe they are, but where’s the calibration? Where’s the magnitude?

We’ve destroyed 85% of their factories. So are they building one new one a week? Are they building two?

You know, it’s just these headlines.

Over the past 5 years, more than 40% of world GDP has been produced by the BRICS states.

Whereas the contribution of the so-called "Big Seven" — why it's big, I don't understand — well, it amounted to only 29 percent.

To think that I don’t know what the chair of the Fed’s thinking is, you know, is absurd.

But if somebody sitting at a Bloomberg terminal can somehow divine and figure out what the Fed’s going to do better than I can from my conversations with the chair, then they should have at it.

All the time we were told that competition is a sacred cow, and you can't touch it.

But unfortunately, your Western competitors today are trying by any means to return their former leadership.

This competition today acquires, at times, unseemly forms.

Entrepreneurs are trying to block international transport corridors and capture maritime routes.

Illegal restrictions are also being imposed, along with threats of so-called secondary sanctions against those who refuse to act in someone else’s interests and instead protect their own national interests.

I am the house now.

But you can bet against me if you want.

The Chinese have their model. They have central planning on AI, which will never work, because at the end of the day they won’t turn over enough control.

They are afraid that AI will come for the CCP one day — that the CEO of Tencent or Jack Ma, the head of Alibaba, can create something that’s so powerful that it could bring their regime down.

The group said the operation was carried out from several directions with support from local tribes.

According to the Houthis, the operation resulted in the capture of six districts in Taiz and Hodeidah governorates, covering around 5,400 square kilometers.

They also said seven military divisions, including 38 brigades, were targeted, with hundreds of fighters killed, wounded, or captured.

The Houthis said a number of their prisoners held on the western coast were also freed.

They added that their air defenses carried out 32 interception operations and shot down nine Saudi aircraft.

The Houthis also said maritime navigation remains safe for all companies except Saudi vessels, which they said remain subject to blockade.

They reiterated their policy of “a siege for a siege” and said attacks on Saudi military positions would continue until the fighting stops and the blockade on Yemen is lifted.

UK armed forces chief Air Chief Marshal Sir Rich Knighton said most losses came after January 2023, while Russia gained only around 2% more Ukrainian territory.

“These numbers illustrate clearly the senseless and futile waste of human life for such little progress,” he said.
