All 3 World Cup hosts eliminated in the same round, but not alike:
🇨🇦: Proudly, with its best showing ever in a World Cup
🇲🇽: Courageously, pushing favourite England to the brink
🇺🇲: In shame, with the world cheering against their pedophile-ruled shithole for tarnishing the game
@McBrideLawNYC 😂🤣american food is shit and unhealthy as fuck, air conditioning? u bragging about air conditioning🤣what a backwards hillbilly...and really? there is such a thing as american "hospitality"? american arrogance is everywhere but hospitality?🤣
Damn, Iran did not waste a second, they had this diss track ready to go, with the exact final score, after trump's cheating ways jinxed and screwed our US Men's Soccer Team.
He's turned the whole world against us.
The song is 🔥, tho.
This is an absolute embarrassment to the United States. Once again our President embarrasses our nation on the world stage and now takes to social media, boosting that his phone call to FIFA changed the outcome 🤦🏻♂️
Absolutely horrible precedent being set here. As a US citizen I will be routing for Belgium to win this game. Not because I don’t love my country, but as a lifelong professional sportsman that has dedicated his career to growing sport around the world. I’ve always taught the importance of integrity and sadly the US has proven to the world we have absolutely none. Shameful
@WhiteHouse ya, by lying, cheating, playing dirty, bullying, corruption...karma is coming to bring your corrupt country down...no true soccer fan wants to see dirty cheating usa beat Belgium
@_InfoGram_ Hope USA loses to Belgium and lose BIG...corrupt country, corrupt government, I spit at the dirty orange headed double jerk off piece of shit
Russia’s🇷🇺 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov:
‘China🇨🇳 has beaten the US🇺🇸 at its own game of globalisation, by playing on their own terms.’
China’s success during globalisation while the US waged wars and let oligarchs hoard wealth:
-800 million people brought out of poverty in 4 decades
-Extreme poverty eliminated in China
-Lifted 98.99 million rural citizens out of poverty since 2013
-Expanded the Belt and Road Initiative to over 150 countries
-Has built a larger high speed rail network than the rest of the world put together, expanding it from 10,000KM to over 50,000KM
-Installed renewable energy capacity in China is roughly 4× larger than that of the United States today
-Made China the world’s largest industrial economy, with manufacturing output now exceeding the US & EU combined
-Presided over the largest housing and urbanisation programme in history, moving hundreds of millions into modern cities with infrastructure, utilities, and services. In 2013 730 million lived in cities, in 2025, 954 million lived in cities. An increase of 224 million.
-By 2030, China is projected to account for over 40% of the world’s middle class
-Average disposable income has increased more than 25x since 1980 (real terms)
-China’s middle class already drives the majority of domestic consumption, shifting growth away from exports
-China now contributes more to global consumption growth than the US and Europe combined
-Steel production: China produces approximately 55% of global steel
-Shipbuilding: China accounts for over 50% of global shipbuilding output
-China produces more cement than the rest of the world combined
⚡️The renewable energy dominance:
-China controls 80%+ of the global solar manufacturing market across the entire supply chain (wafers, cells, panels)
-It produces approximately 98% of solar wafers, 92% of solar cells, and 85% of solar panels globally
-In 2025 alone, China exported 200+ GW of solar cells, with exports surging over 73% year-on-year
-Solar cells & wafers now make up 40%+ of China’s solar exports
-China drove over 50% of global solar expansion in 2025
-Chinese battery giant CATL alone holds approximately 42% of the global EV battery market
Only a stupid country goes to war on behalf of Israel!
Only a stupid country attacks another, just to close and reopen a strait!
Only a stupid country, with its senseless war, causes damage to the global economy!
Only a stupid country…
Mr. Rubio, is that enough, or should I go on?
Shame on you…
🇯🇵 All flights on 30 China-Japan routes got completely cancelled: Chinese travellers clear message to Japan 🇨🇳
You cannot expect a leader tied so tightly to the US to speak sense, can you? Nor from a nation that acts as a US vassal state.
Taiwan has always been a pawn in America’s game, kept warm to spark conflict and contain China. Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s erroneous remarks on Taiwan crossed Beijing’s red line, shredding the political foundation and triggering this backlash.
Flight Master data shows the numbers: only 2,554 flights from the Chinese mainland to Japan in April, down 182 from March and a brutal 54.4% year-on-year collapse. May Day top-20 routes saw China-South Korea traffic rise 9.4% while China-Japan round trips plunged 56.7%. March already saw 2,691 cancellations at a 49.6% rate.
Chinese visitors to Japan dropped 55.9% year-on-year to just 291,600, with Q1 arrivals down 54.6%. Hotels, restaurants, shops and tour operators from Shinjuku to Kyoto are bleeding while rivals pick up the slack.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian nailed it: the serious difficulties in bilateral relations stem entirely from Japan’s side. The responsibility lies 100% with Japan.
If Japan wants the flights, the tourists, the business and normal ties restored, the path is simple. Retract the erroneous remarks. Stop undermining the one-China principle. Honour the four political documents and commitments it made. Concrete actions, not empty complaints about “dwindling exchanges.”
Japan chose to play America’s Taiwan pawn game. Now its economy is paying the price. South Korea and others are laughing all the way to the bank with China’s redirected tourism dollars.
Actions have consequences.
Tokyo needs to correct its mistake before the damage becomes permanent.
How much longer can Japan afford to be the U.S. frontline proxy before the economic self-harm turns irreversible?
US Naval Assets Attacked in Strait of Hormuz as Washington's Strategy Falters
Recent satellite imagery contradicts official U.S. government statements, suggesting a significant naval confrontation in the Strait of Hormuz where Iranian forces successfully struck American warships, revealing deep strategic vulnerabilities and a potential turning point in the regional conflict.**
An incident in the Strait of Hormuz, which the U.S. government has reportedly tried to downplay, indicates a serious escalation in naval hostilities. According to analysis and satellite data, Iranian forces launched a successful attack on American naval assets. Thermal imaging from NASA satellites confirmed multiple fire signatures in the strait, corresponding precisely with the locations of U.S. destroyers and corroborating Iranian claims.
Following the engagement, the three U.S. ships involved—the USS Truxtun, USS Mason, and USS Rafael Peralta—retreated from the area to the Sea of Oman. While Washington has officially maintained that everything is fine, the satellite evidence and the ships' withdrawal tell a different story.
A Coordinated "Salvo" Attack Reveals U.S. Vulnerability
Iran executed a sophisticated, coordinated assault known as a "salvo model attack." This strategy involved the simultaneous deployment of fast attack boats, drones, and anti-ship missiles to overwhelm the U.S. destroyers' defenses. Military analysts note that in such an attack, not every projectile needs to hit its target; just one or two penetrating the air defense screen can be enough to neutralize a modern warship.
When an anti-ship missile strikes a vessel like a destroyer, it doesn't need to sink it to be effective. The damage forces the crew into damage control, effectively removing the ship from active combat and forcing it to withdraw for repairs. This sends a powerful strategic message.
The attack highlights a critical vulnerability for U.S. naval forces in the region. American destroyers, which carry up to 96 missile cells, have seen their magazines significantly depleted after weeks of operations. Much of their remaining capacity is dedicated to air-defense missiles, while their offensive arsenal, including Tomahawk cruise missiles, has been largely spent. This leaves them operating in a contested waterway with diminished combat readiness against a calculated opponent.
The Strategic Aftermath and Shifting Tides
In the wake of the attack, Iran broadcast a warning to all commercial vessels to maintain a 10-mile distance from U.S. warships, stating the necessity of "teaching American forces a lesson," a message that does not reflect a losing side.
This naval skirmish is a piece of a much larger strategic puzzle. While U.S. intelligence assesses Iran's military is operating at 70-75% of its pre-war capacity, Iran's foreign minister counters that it's at 120%, having moved critical missile production and strategic assets to hardened underground facilities before the conflict began. This suggests that U.S. and Israeli airstrikes, while destroying buildings, failed to hit their intended targets.
Meanwhile, the United States has expended a vast amount of its own high-end munitions, including approximately half of its Tomahawk inventory and a third of its ballistic missile interceptors. Replenishing these stockpiles takes years, a problem now compounded by China's new restrictions on the export of rare-earth materials essential for manufacturing modern weapons systems.
