THIS IS SAVAGE FROM 🇨🇳 CHINA 😂

🇺🇸 Trump –– "Now Iran has agreed to open the Strait of Hormuz so it should be considered my success in the war"

🇨🇳 CHINA –– 🔥 "The Strait of Hormuz was already open before the war. It was you who created war out of nothing and got it closed for the rest of the world" 😂

A day without humiliation is a day wasted for Trump

SHOCKING CLASH: Donald Trump CALLS POPE LEO XIV “AN INSULT TO JESUS” — THE POPE’S RESPONSE STUNS THE WORLD

Donald Trump believed he could score easy political points by calling Pope Leo XIV “an insult to Jesus,” after the spiritual leader once again spoke out in defense of peace, compassion, and human dignity. However, he was challenging a voice rooted not in politics, but in moral authority.

Standing before a solemn gathering at the Vatican, Pope Leo XIV did not respond with anger. Instead, he delivered a powerful and deeply moving message grounded in faith, responsibility, and truth.

“The President of the United States has said that I insult Jesus,” Pope Leo XIV began, his voice calm yet firm. “But let us reflect honestly — what truly insults the teachings of Christ?”

Then, with quiet intensity, he answered:

“You want to know what truly insults Jesus? It is when we turn away from those who suffer, when we close our hearts to the poor, and when we choose power over compassion while others cry out for mercy.”

He continued:

“You know what insults Jesus? It is forgetting the dignity of every human being, ignoring the pain of families in crisis, and refusing to hear the voices of the most vulnerable among us.”

His message then deepened, becoming not just a response, but a moral call that reached far beyond the moment:

“You know what insults Jesus? It is creating division where there should be unity, spreading fear where there should be hope, and turning away from justice when we have the responsibility to uphold it.”

This was not merely a political rebuttal — it was something far more profound. Pope Leo XIV, known for his humility and steadfast commitment to peace, transformed the confrontation into a reflection on conscience rather than conflict. Instead of escalating tensions, he elevated the conversation to a universal moral level.

“I do not claim to be perfect,” he admitted. “But I strive each day to walk the path of compassion — to serve, to listen, and to love as we are all called to do.”

Then came the line that resonated far beyond the walls of the Vatican:

“If we truly believe in a world shaped by peace and mercy… then why do we not work harder to bring that reality into our lives — here and now, for one another?”

That was his response. Not with anger. Not with division. But with conviction — and grace.

Trump sought to challenge him. Instead, Pope Leo XIV delivered a message now echoing across millions, reminding the world that true strength is found not in power alone, but in conscience, humility, and love.

Zelenskyy is a true Statesman. The best of men

[Rock - NA-FO Raccoon @NAAF0Racoon]

That’s two Middle East security agreements hashed out by Zelensky in as many days.

The man is fighting half the world & still has time to help others. He was born for this.

If there is precisely one thing you watch today, make it this. French Senator Claude Malhuret. A microphone. And the most magnificently savage dismantling of the Trump administration ever delivered in a language they almost certainly don’t speak.

He covers Iran. He covers corruption. He covers the kind of staggering, industrial-scale incompetence that would get you fired from managing a car park. And he does it with the calm, unhurried certainty of a man who has read every page of the indictment and found it, if anything, worse than expected.

France has never pretended to like these people. But this is contempt elevated to an art form. The kind of refined, aristocratic disdain that takes centuries of civilization to produce and approximately ninety seconds to deploy.

Malhuret sounds like he is four seconds from the button. Not out of panic. Out of sheer, exhausted disgust.
Honestly? Understandable.
Watch it. Share it. The adults are speaking.

What a disgrace. Trump has removed sanctions on russia’s oil.

I am truly sorry to the Ukrainian people.

This is a direct backstabbing of Ukraine.

And it comes after Ukraine agreed to help the United States defend itself and its allies from Iranian drones. Ukraine shared its drone interception technologies and sent three groups of experts, military personnel, and engineers to the Middle East — people who are desperately needed at home to protect Ukrainian civilians from russian drones and missiles.

Instead of standing with Ukraine, Trump just handed a lifeline to the russian economy.

Lifting sanctions on russian oil means billions flowing back into the Kremlin’s war machine. It means more missiles. More drones. More dead Ukrainians.

But sadly, none of this should surprise anyone who has been paying attention.

Trump promised he would end the war in “24 hours.” It has now been well over a year.

He appointed a number of russian assets to his cabinet — such as Tulsi Gabbard, who has been repeating Kremlin propaganda for years; Kash Patel, who has literally been paid by russia; and Steve Witkoff, along with other pro-Kremlin figures.

His administration halted military aid to Ukraine, restricted intelligence sharing, and repeatedly treated Vladimir Putin as a partner instead of the war criminal responsible for Europe’s largest war since World War II. Instead of sanctioning russia, he welcomed a war criminal to the United States with a red carpet. And now the portrait of a war criminal hangs in the White House.

Instead of isolating the Kremlin, Trump has repeatedly chosen to appease it.

And now comes the final step.

Removing sanctions on russian oil while Ukrainians are still dying under russian missiles.

History will remember this moment.

[Richard Woodruff 🇺🇦 @frontlinekit]

🤬 it's official, @POTUS just lifted all oil sanctions on russia, anyone can now buy their oil with impunity and at RECORD high prices, flooding the russian banks with cash to continue this war for many many more years.

Trump has just given a death sentence to Ukraine. 🤬🤬🤬

[Clustz News • AI | Tech | World | Gaming | More @ClustZContact]

This is exactly the kind of message Putin never wanted to see: Europe standing shoulder to shoulder with Ukraine, showing Trump that support for Kyiv isn’t just a U.S. debate but a united global stance.

A powerful moment in history where democracies prove their strength lies in solidarity. 🌍✊🇺🇦

[Roman Sheremeta 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @rshereme]

This is the right move.

Zelensky won’t be flying to Trump alone — he’ll be joined by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and other top European leaders.

His plane has already departed with a stop in Brussels. Media report that NATO Secretary General Rutte, French President Macron, UK Prime Minister Starmer, German Chancellor Merz, Italian Prime Minister Meloni, and Finnish President Stubb may also fly to Washington. More names could be added.

A united front. Europe stands with Ukraine.

[Oblomovnew @ROblomovnew]

The only person in the world, a statesman, the President of Ukraine, who deserves the Nobel Prize for the fight against kremlin☠️fascism and international terrorism.
