@Glenn_Diesen There are only three relevant words in this Truth post: “DELAY, DELAY, DELAY!”

That exactly is Trump’s intention, and not for the reason most people think—but (for the reason most people think) is the vehicle he’ll use to execute his aims.

@Osint613 France has admitted defeat in its attempt to gain influence and prestige in the Persian gulf and has retransitioned its focus to Africa and the European continent.

@imetatronink Strategic ambiguity of his knowledge of Iran’s(and Trump’s) toll system. It’s going to happen and the U.S. will get its piece of the pie. (Tether>)

@zerohedge Long weekend for Trump.

@FirstSquawk Nothing to do there.

@RT_com Trump is drawing attention to the unwillingness of FOX to pick a side, the nation or the globalist empire.

Counter attack against Trump’s wrestling of control over energy flow and pricing. Carney signaling there’s no intention to comply with the Trump administration and using low carbon narrative as cover to hamper lower energy prices in the U.S. 👇

[Kirk Lubimov @KirkLubimov]

Mark Carney doubles down on decarbonizing oil and claims that's what Asia is looking for.

"One of the key selling points for Canadian conventional energy will be that it's low carbon. And so getting the emissions down will put us in a position - and I will tell you that from direct conversations with a series of governments across Asia; that’s what they’re looking for the medium term.

​That’s what the Government of Canada is working with the Government of Alberta in order to produce: a comprehensive approach through our MOU. We're making good progress on that, and that’s going to make the Oil Sands more competitive."

Literally, no one has been asking that in Asia, out of all places, where 50% of energy production comes from coal and accounts for 80% of the world's coal consumption.

Our oil production is already cleaner than the average by the government's own data.

They just want our oil!

@thehill They refused the prerequisite and conditions for the $100 U.S.

Nevertheless, this could be used by Rubio as justification to take a tougher stance against Cuba.

[SSGeopolitics @SmokeSignalsGeo]

As I’ve said before, everyone’s got their own game going on in Europe. France is making moves and will not allow itself to fall behind geopolitically.

But ambitions of expanding its influence in Africa, that’s risky and resource consuming—too much competition there. France should first focus on the European continent now that all its neighbors have been significantly weakened.

French President Macron:

The epicenter of the French language today is in the Congo River basin.

It is no longer on the banks of the Seine, because that is where the largest number of French speakers now live.

[SSGeopolitics @SmokeSignalsGeo]

Anything that would enable a broader European war with Russia will be not be facilitated or allowed by the Trump administration. The U.S. to the front of the line and Germany to the back of the line. Delay, delay, delay.

“Revives effort” because their efforts have been and are being hampered.👇
