China delivers MASSIVE 75,000-TON aid package to Cuba

[Peter Schiff @PeterSchiff]

Thanks to Donald Trump, we now have two Democratic parties. With the defeat of @RepThomasMassie for being a principled fiscal conservative, the Republican Party basically exists in name only. We have two big-government political parties, each offering its own brand of socialism.

Just 38 months, that's very impressive. China is on another level🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳

120 years?🤣🤣🤣🤣

[Saffron Sniper @Saffron_Sniper1]

These two giant turtles have been fighting each other for more than 120 years.

According to the zoo, one turtle stole the other’s food 120 years ago, and since that day they became enemies.

There hasn’t been a single day where they don’t fight for 2–3 minutes😂

ALL VEHICLES MADE IN 2027 WILL BE REQUIRED TO HAVE A KILL SWITCH

All vehicles manufactured in 2027 will officially be required to come equipped with advanced impaired driving prevention technology.

Under this new law, automakers must install systems that use cameras and AI to monitor driver behavior, tracking things like eye movement and attention levels.
If impairment is detected, the system will activate a kill switch and prevent the vehicle from operating.

A kill switch in your car, controlled by AI and cameras watching your every move. When was that ever a good idea?

And no, it definitely will not be used for anything else. They would never remotely disable your car for any other reason.
Not during a protest. Not during a lockdown. Not ever.

Absolutely nothing can go wrong.

China just made Silicon Valley's entire AI industry look like a scam.

The US government spent 3 years trying to stop China from building competitive AI.

But this backfired HORRIBLY.

Here's what happened:

Yesterday, a Chinese startup called DeepSeek released a new AI model called V4.

It matches the performance of OpenAI and Anthropic's best models.

At 1/7th the price.

And for the first time ever, it was built on Chinese chips. NOT American ones.

That last part is the one that terrifies the west.

For context:

Since 2022, the US has banned the export of advanced AI chips to China. The entire strategy was built on the assumption that if China can't access Nvidia's best hardware, they can't build frontier AI.

But DeepSeek just proved that assumption wrong.

Their V4 model was trained and runs on Huawei's Ascend chips. Huawei spent months working directly with DeepSeek to make sure V4 runs across their entire line of AI processors.

Jensen Huang even predicted this on a recent podcast: "The day that DeepSeek comes out on Huawei first, that is a horrible outcome for our nation."

That day was yesterday.

And the numbers are crazy:

DeepSeek V4 costs $3.48 per million output tokens. OpenAI's latest model GPT-5.5 costs $30. Anthropic's Claude charges $25. Same ballpark performance. 7x cheaper.

Uber's CTO just admitted they burned through their ENTIRE 2026 AI budget in 4 months using Anthropic's tools.

If Uber had used DeepSeek instead, that same budget would have lasted 7 YEARS.

4 months vs 7 years. Same work getting done.

But the pricing isn't even the big thing here.

The real story is what DeepSeek did with their technical report:

They published the benchmarks where they LOSE.

Every AI company cherry-picks the tests where their model wins. DeepSeek ran the full comparison against GPT-5.4 and Google's Gemini, found they trail frontier models by 3 to 6 months, and printed it anyway.

They literally don't care because the price gap makes the performance gap irrelevant for 90% of use cases.

So the US export controls didn't slow China down. They ACCELERATED China's independence.

Because Chinese developers were FORCED to train models with limited resources, they had to figure out how to make AI radically more efficient. That constraint became their competitive advantage.

Every generation of DeepSeek has gotten dramatically cheaper to train. V4 continues the trend.

Meanwhile US companies are going the OPPOSITE direction:

OpenAI's GPT-5.5 Pro costs $180 per million output tokens. That's 51x more expensive than DeepSeek V4 for comparable work.

The Commerce Secretary confirmed this week that ZERO Nvidia advanced chip shipments have actually gone through to China despite being approved in January.

So China built frontier AI anyway. Without American chips. At a fraction of the cost.

And the market response tells you everything:

Chinese chipmaker SMIC surged 10%. Huahong Semiconductor jumped 15%. DeepSeek's Chinese AI competitors Zhipu AI and MiniMax dropped 9% because V4 is destroying them too.

DeepSeek is making Silicon Valley's pricing model look like a scam.

US tech companies spent $650 billion on AI infrastructure this year. DeepSeek just showed the world you can match their output for pennies.

The export controls were supposed to be America's ace card. Instead they taught China how to win without American chips, at American prices nobody can compete with.

Jensen Huang was right. This is a horrible outcome.

But it's the outcome America built for itself.

🚨🇹🇷🇨🇺 BREAKING: Turkey steps in as Cuba fights blackouts caused by the brutal U.S. blockade. The Turkish floating power plant Belgin Sultan, operated by Karpowership, has docked in Havana and is now feeding electricity into the Cuban grid.

This is energy diplomacy in action. A quick, mobile solution from Türkiye while Cuba battles aging infrastructure and six decades of illegal U.S. sanctions designed to strangle the island.

Another nation stepping in where the empire refused to help. The world is watching. The Global South builds its own lifelines

“There will be shots fired.”

She said that.

Tonight there were.

What did she know?

@rafbahizire That's king praising in Benin and each king has the way we praise them. Praising a king is chanting glorifying and empowering words like how powerful the king is or his ancestors were, the battles they won etc...It's like reminding the king of his history, his power and strength.

TACO strikes again. JD Vance walked back Trump’s 100% tariffs threat by saying it’s just a negotiating tactic. It’s not the best negotiation strategy to let your opponent know that you’re bluffing. Trump also posted about his great relationship with China’s wonderful president.
