@nicksortor Italy's government is divided on Hormuz.
• Meloni: working with 30+ countries to restore freedom of navigation.
• Salvini: 'No ships without UN authorization.'
One government. Two positions. Zero clarity.
And Italy's gas supply is cut until June
U trolling right ?
40 days of war:
What did the US achieve?
• Khamenei dead, replaced by his son
• Regime intact
• Hormuz: Iran still controls it
• Iran's exports: still flowing to China
What did Iran achieve?
• Everything it demanded before the war
• $2M toll per ship through Hormuz
• War reparations on the table
Iran's Security Council said it best: 'Nearly all objectives achieved.'
Masterclass.

We are rewriting the new world order in real time.
Europe has no choice left: it will have to rearm, fund its own defense, and do it fast.
This is not just geopolitics, it’s the end of decades of strategic dependence.
Those who understand where the money goes, understand where the power goes.
@art_interesting@dotkrueger The parallel isn’t perfect, but the point stands.
Every major US war was sold as manageable.
Vietnam. Iraq. Afghanistan.
None of them were.
Iran is week 6.
The timeline keeps moving.
The pattern speaks for itself.
@GlobeEyeNews Germany just told 10 million men:
You need our permission to leave.
Not during war.
Not during crisis.
In peacetime.
The last time Europe restricted
the movement of its own men
you know how that story ended.
History doesn’t repeat.
But it rhymes.
@JimFergusonUK 30% of global fertilizers
transit through the Strait of Hormuz.
Hormuz is closed.
Farmers can’t plant without fuel.
Can’t deliver without diesel.
Can’t produce without fertilizer.
Food prices up 10-20%.
That’s not a forecast.
That’s the math
@FurkanGozukara Italy is one of Europe's most exposed nations.
Dependent on Qatari LNG. Through the Strait of Hormuz. That Iran controls.
Energy bills up 10-20%. Gas storage at 5.8%. No alternative supply in sight.
Rome didn't burn in a day. But it's getting warmer.
@DeFiTracer Powell confirmed it.
Zero net job creation
in the private sector.
Oil at $141.
Inflation reloading.
Jobs flatlined.
The Fed has two tools.
Both are broken right now
Kennedy’s advisors said Vietnam would be quick.
Johnson’s advisors said Vietnam would be quick.
Bush’s advisors said Iraq would be quick.
Obama’s advisors said Libya would be quick.
Trump’s advisors said Iran would be over in 4 days.
The most expensive words in history:
‘This will be quick.’
Markets are still paying for every one of them
@Amank1412 Two pandemics nobody is talking about:
Doom scrolling.
AI dependency.
One is destroying your attention. The other is destroying your thinking.
Together they're building a generation that can't solve problems or sit with discomfort long enough to find the answer.
@GoldTelegraph_ The EU Energy Commissioner just said it.
'All possibilities' are on the table. Including fuel rationing.
Car-free Sundays. Work from home orders. Emergency reserves depleted.
This isn't preparation. This is desperation.
@PathOfMen_ Work 40 years.
Retire at 65. Die at 73.
8 years of 'freedom.'
After a lifetime of someone else's schedule.
The system wasn't designed for your happiness. It was designed for your productivity.
