BREAKING: Trump announced that any country purchasing oil and/or gas from Venezuela๐Ÿ‡ป๐Ÿ‡ช will be forced to pay a 25% tariff on any trade done with the United States๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ.

Marco Rubio has got his wish, the foot is being put on the Monroe Doctrine imperialism accelerator.

More de facto sanctions such as this allowing the US bully the rest of the world will only speed up de-dollarisation.

๐ŸšจJEFFREY TUCKER: ELON MUSK HAS PLAYED A HEROIC ROLE

โ€˜I donโ€™t know what other person Trump would have tapped to get hold of the essential spending mechanisms in the USโ€ฆElon Musk seemed like the best one for the job. I donโ€™t know who else he could have appointed that would have been ferocious enough and compelling enough to do that job.โ€™

โ€˜Elon Musk buying X broke the media monopoly and it is now the number one app in the world, and itโ€™s because people donโ€™t like censored platforms. They like truth, and true things coming out. So he played an important and heroic role in all of this.โ€™

-Jeffrey Tucker, Founder and President of the Brownstone Institute.

Real journalism vs pro-genocide propaganda

Hossam had more honour and integrity as a journalist in one finger than the entirety of the journalists at NATO nation propaganda media outlets

Tireless documentation of the genocide on the ground, under constant threat of being killed

The Press Freedomโ„ข๏ธ industry is completely silent as Israel continues to assassinated journalists in broad daylight

RIP Hossam Shabat

Deputy Chief of Chinaโ€™s๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ Central Military Commission Jing Jianfeng:

โ€˜The US๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ uses the rules and orders as hegemonic narratives. When these rules and orders serve its interests, the US employs them, when they do not, the US discards them.โ€™

โ€˜From Afghanistan to Iraq, from Ukraine to Gaza, all these crises and conflicts are results of the self-serving double standards of the US.โ€™

โ€˜Facts have proved that the US is the biggest source of chaos in the international order.โ€™

One thing is clear from the Trump administration Yemen group chat leaks:

The Trump administration not only considers Europe to be a broke, freeloading burden on the United States, but looks at Europe with disdain

Europeโ€™s puppy dog vassalage to the United States has become so pathetic that even Washington itself finds it cringeworthy

๐ŸšจPolitico reports that officials in the European Union๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ are growing increasingly critical of Kaja Kallas for โ€˜acting like a Prime Ministerโ€™ and her constant war rhetoric against Russia๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ

One official said โ€œIf you listen to her it seems we are at war with Russia, which is not the EU line.โ€

After Zelenskyโ€™s disastrous confrontation with Donald Trump and J.D. Vance, Kaja Kallas posted โ€œthe free world needs a new leader.โ€ One EU diplomat said โ€œMost countries donโ€™t want to inflame things with the United Statesโ€ฆsaying the free world needs a new leader just isnโ€™t what most leaders wanted to put out there.โ€

You know the situation is bad when even EU officials and diplomats, typically some of the most clueless government officials in the world, are worried by Kallasโ€™ rhetoric.

The Typhon missiles have a range of 1200 miles, putting much of mainland China within striking range

If the shoe were on the other foot, and China had moved long-range missile systems to Cuba, the world would be perhaps days away from World War 3

Yet the media reports that China is threatening the United States, not the US is threatening China

Congresswoman Plaskett: Is Russia๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ a friend or an adversary?

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard: They're an adversary

Turning this relationship from adversarial to friendship would give the US a gateway to better relations with the rising powers of the multipolar world

Continuing the adversarial relationship with Russia only keeps the world divided, and the US left out of the opportunities a multipolar world brings

Zelensky: Without US๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ intelligence, Ukraine๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ CANNOT detect Russian missile launches

Every day Zelensky learns more about the deal he signed onto to make Ukraine a complete proxy.

A proxy is independently useless by design, it is a switch to be flicked on or off.

The Biden Administration wanted a proxy war against Russia, so flicked the Ukraine switch on. Trump wants it over with ASAP, heโ€™s turned the Ukraine switch off, and Ukraine is helpless.

All Zelensky had to do was read history since 1945 to see how the US uses and discards its proxies with not a shred of concern for human life. Instead, he handed Ukraine on a silver platter to Washington, resulting in disaster.

๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆZelensky gives a masterclass in diplomacy:

โ€˜Putin will die soon and it will come to an end.โ€™

These are the words of a man who claims to want peace. Zelensky articulates himself like an angry child, and refuses to give any concessions despite the fact his position on the battlefield is dire.

Russia-US negotiations are off to a good start, however Zelensky will be the roadblock which will stop the progress. If he continues to be a roadblock, Washington will openly and unceremoniously oust him from power.
