Ach, neerlandicus Nop Maas gestorven. Wat moet deze Reve-biograaf een uithoudingsvermogen hebben gehad in het contact met de grillige Reve maar vooral met de vreselijke ‘Matroos Vosch’. Dankzij dat is er zijn driedelige, uitputtende biografie “Kroniek van een schuldig leven”.

On April 1, President Trump told the world’s nations to “build up some delayed courage, go to the Strait, and just TAKE IT.” He said America would not reopen the Strait of Hormuz. He said allies must protect it themselves. He said the hard part was done.

On the same day, Bloomberg reported that Powerus, a drone company backed by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump through their American Ventures fund, had been meeting officials in Abu Dhabi to pitch advanced autonomous weapons systems to the United Arab Emirates. The product line includes the Guardian-1, a lightweight kinetic interceptor designed to destroy Shahed-style drones at 340 kilometres per hour for a fraction of the cost of a missile. The pitch is aimed at the exact vulnerability the President’s speech created: Gulf nations that need to defend themselves because America just told them it will not do it for them.

The President defines the threat. The sons sell the solution. The war creates the demand. The family supplies the product.

Powerus merged with Aureus Greenway Holdings on March 9 in a deal worth approximately $50 million, positioning for a Nasdaq listing under the expected ticker PUSA. The Guardian-1 was unveiled on March 18, ten days after the war began. It completed flight tests at the US Army’s National Training Center in high-intensity combat simulations. The company’s website claims “confirmed intercepts and kills in active combat zones.” No footage has been released. No CENTCOM confirmation exists. No allied government has verified a single Guardian-1 kill. The product is 15 days old. It has been tested in simulations. It has been pitched to a government under missile attack. It has not been proven in combat.

The broader Trump family UAE portfolio deepens the architecture. In January 2025, a $500 million stake in World Liberty Financial was sold to an Abu Dhabi entity linked to Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed, the UAE’s national security adviser. Eric Trump signed. $187 million went to Trump family entities from the first installment. Trump Organization licensing with DAMAC and Dar Global for towers and golf courses exceeded $500 million in the past year. An 80-story Trump Tower Dubai is under construction. The family is embedded in the UAE’s financial, real estate, crypto, and now defence infrastructure while the father conducts a war that makes all four sectors more valuable.

Senator Jack Reed called for scrutiny: “Trump’s arms sales to family business partners must be examined.” The White House says the President is “unaware” of Powerus dealings. The sons say the businesses are separate. The timeline says otherwise. The war began February 28. The drone company merged March 9. The interceptor launched March 18. The Abu Dhabi meetings took place in recent weeks. The President told allies to defend themselves on April 1. Bloomberg reported the pitch on the same day.

Lockheed Martin sells the F-35 with 900 pounds of Chinese rare earth magnets that China has banned. Zelensky sells Ukrainian sea drones to the Gulf states his enemy’s ally armed. And the Trump sons sell an untested interceptor to a country their father just told to fend for itself against the drones their father’s war provoked.

The war has no perimeter. The business has no boundary. And nobody in Washington can tell where one ends and the other begins.

Israel murdered every single person in this photo today in South Lebanon.

Every. Single. One.

2 journalists
7 paramedics
1 Lebanese soldier

They bombed the journalists’ vehicle — then bombed them again when paramedics rushed to help.
