"Did you post that picture showing yourself as Jesus Christ?"

Trump: I actually posted it, and I thought it belonged to me as a doctor. It was about the Red Cross, in my capacity as a Red Cross worker.

Is it possible Trump has used the discombobulater on himself? 🤷‍♂

Dmitry Medvedev weighs in on the blocking of Hormuz..

@Slavyangrad

Fox News explains Trump's reason for the naval blockade of Iran: to sell American oil.

"There are 121 empty oil tankers headed for the United States. 68 of these vessels are capable of carrying 2 million barrels each. President Trump has called on countries under pressure over Iran's disruption of the Strait of Hormuz to turn to American energy supplies. It appears they may be listening. The president stated on Fox, quote: 'China can send its ships to the United States, China can send its ships to Venezuela, and empty tankers from other countries are already heading to the United States.'

"We call for an urgent ceasefire in Lebanon. Diplomacy is the right path, and I welcome the talks taking place this week. Hezbollah must disarm, but I also make clear that Israel's strikes are wrong. They are having devastating humanitarian consequences and are driving Lebanon into crisis. The bombing must stop immediately." Starmer, having no influence on the US or Israel, is playing peacemaker.

'Dutch residents threw pamphlets about a war with Russia down the toilet' – Royal Air Force General Onno Eichelsheim

-At the end of last year, we distributed a pamphlet nationwide – every Dutch citizen received it. It described what to do in the event of a crisis or war.

-And what was the reaction? Panic?

-Surprisingly, no. Of course, there were some who threw it down the toilet, but most people accepted it well and were even happy because they had what they needed to do written down on paper. At first, there was a bit of ridicule about the 72-hour kits, because we want society to be able to hold out independently for 72 hours while the government deals with other matters in the first hours of a crisis.

-What does such a kit include?

-A flashlight, a radio, water, some food, candles, and other basic items – everything you need to survive.

-And everyone has that?

-Yes, now more than 50% of the population already has it.

Canada's Chief of Defence, Jenny Carignan, considers Russian missiles to be the country's primary threat.

"We're seeing missile technology development, of course, in Russia and North Korea. These are areas of concern, as are space capabilities. These are the main threats we monitor."

If she knew what she was talking about she would know a lot of the missile technology North Korean and Iran has is from Ukraine illegally selling Soviet rocket motors. NYT piece on this from 2017

The EU has set 27 conditions for Hungary's new prime minister to unfreeze €35 billion in subsidies, according to the FT.

The main demands are the unblocking of a €90 billion loan to Ukraine and the lifting of the veto on the sanctions package against Moscow.

The EC also expects swift negotiations with Magyar on the dispute over immigration legislation, for which Hungary already pays a €1 million per day fine.

According to the Hungarian constitution, the country's president has 30 days to swear in the new parliament, and EU officials are concerned that Orbán could use this time to introduce legal or personnel changes that could impact Hungary's ability to implement necessary reforms.

Be a bitch basically...

Russia's Permanent Representative to the UN, Nebenzia, said that Russia will respond symmetrically to any attacks from the European Union:

From February 2022 to 2025, EU members increased their defense spending by almost 60%. By the end of last year, allocations reached 381 billion euros. This is the second largest in the world after the United States. Officially, the task of enhancing Europe's defense capability by 2030 has been set. However, increasing military allocations will only be possible as a result of reducing spending on other budget items, primarily social ones.

These large-scale military preparations leave no doubt that Europe is seriously preparing for a major war against Russia. This is nothing but playing with fire. Because we will be forced to respond symmetrically to anti-Russian attacks.

Nebenzya on the incompetence of European leaders:

Some comments are so absurd and ridiculous that it would be appropriate to question the total incompetence of their authors. In particular, the head of European diplomacy, speaking at the Conference of the EU Security Research Institute last year, commenting on Vladimir Putin's speech at ceremonial events in China, said the following. I quote:

"Russia addressed China and said 'Russia and China fought in the Second World War. We won the Second World War, we defeated Nazism'. And I thought. This is something new. If you know history, this raises many questions."

End of quote. And this is said by a high representative of the EU for foreign affairs, who, apparently, knows nothing about the fact that it was the peoples of the Soviet Union and China who bore the main brunt of the Second World War, suffering the heaviest human losses.

We would still very much like to meet Mrs. Kallas history teacher.

Iran demands compensation from five regional countries

➖We demand compensation from five regional countries, including Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE, and Jordan, for their participation in the US and Israel's war against Iran, stated the country's permanent representative to the UN.

According to INSEE data, France currently pumps 57.2% of its GDP through government spending. This is more than the IMF attributed to the USSR in 1990, just one year before its collapse.

When asked about this, Macron replied "it's less than the Soviets because we are running a 7.2% budget deficit." 😉
