🚨 Former Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis just dropped some hard truths about the real reason behind the 🇺🇸U.S.-🇨🇳China trade war. And no, it’s not about “fair trade” — it’s about survival. 🧵

1/
The U.S. doesn’t fear China because of “cheap labor” or “IP theft.”
What it truly fears is China’s capacity to undermine the U.S.-led global financial order — the very system that allows America to print dollars and buy the world.

2/
Wall Street’s aging financial architecture is losing its grip.
It can’t control crypto flows.
It can’t keep up with new financial ecosystems.
China — with its digital yuan, vast industrial base, and rising global influence — is the first real threat to this system.

3/
Trump’s “reciprocal tariffs” were never about balancing trade.
They were a desperate attempt to slow down China’s rise and protect the dollar system from collapse.
Because if China succeeds, the U.S. loses its magic weapon: monetary dominance.

4/
Today, Trump is laser-focused on America’s financial core:
• The Treasury bond market (America’s lifeline)
• The stock market (America’s wallet)
Both are fragile. And any external pressure could trigger a chain reaction.

5/
The U.S. is now panicking over who’s selling off U.S. Treasuries.
China? Japan? Others?
Trump reportedly wants to punish any surplus country that dumps Treasuries — with tariffs, of course.
This is not about trade. It’s about a dying empire trying to stop the bleeding.

6/
In short, America is no longer confident in its own financial fortress.
And China is no longer playing by the old rules.
This isn’t just a trade war — it’s a war for the future of global finance.

1st rule of genocide - dehumanise the victims.

[Munther Isaac منذر اسحق @MuntherIsaac]

The question is not whether there is a genocide or not. The question is why are there those who still deny it?

“You know exactly how many Hamas fighters you’ve killed, but you don’t know how many children? That, in itself, is a war crime.” – Piers Morgan

- @piersmorgan is a man you love to hate.

But when have you seen the BBC doing anything even remotely like this?

[Piers Morgan Uncensored @PiersUncensored]

"Tell me why you know one number and not the other!"

Piers Morgan repeatedly challenges Israeli ambassador Tzipi Hotovely on why she can say how many Hamas terrorists have been killed - but not civilian children.

The same people who villainize Dr. Anthony Fauci, an actual doctor with a speciality in immunology and research in virology, are now praising RFK Jr who has never seen the inside of a lab in his lifetime.

[Prof Francois Balloux @BallouxFrancois]

The reasons why I believe Gaza qualifies as a genocide has relatively little to do with enforced starvation - which may be a means to an end, rather than an end - but because I witnessed an organised, systematic attempt to eradicate a society through the destruction of:
- mosques, churches and cemeteries
- monuments and landmarks
- museums, historic and archaeological sites
- universities and schools
- agricultural means of subsistence
- aquifers and wells
- water and food storage
And the systematic, targeted killing of:
- Intellectuals and academics
- Poets, novelists and other artists
- Journalists and social media influencers
- Doctors and nurses
- firefighters, paramedics and first-responders

I’m not weighing in on politics much these days but the White House pardon attorney announcing that you can commit any crimes you want as long as you support the president’s politics seems really really really really scary.

The interview that got Sangita Myska fired.

But don't repost it that would be antisemitism according to James O'Brien.

Let's keep TACO trending! He hated this.
I applaud whoever asked this question.

Trump Always Chickens Out

BREAKING: Trump just nominated his own criminal defense attorney Emil Bove to serve as Judge on the third circuit court of appeals.

Imagine If Biden did this.

[Charlie Herbert @Charlie533080]

As an Army officer we studied often the concept of war amongst the people. But Israel’s actions in Gaza have coined a new concept - war against the people. At odds with every norm of international humanitarian law.

Barbaric, immoral, illegal.

Trump is FURIOUS after being asked why he always chickens out on trade deals. He angrily responded, ‘Don’t ever say what you said!’ I love watching Trump freak out when confronted—his temper tantrums are always hilarious!
