To be precise: Yesterday, Trump imposed tariffs on the EU and 184 other countries. This excludes Mexico and Canada, which had already been subject to reciprocal tariffs. However, both countries are also marked on the map above for that reason.
Full list: https://t.co/Dbgp4hkepK
I cross-checked the list of 185 countries on which Trump imposed reciprocal tariffs.
The following countries did not receive reciprocal tariffs:
🇷🇺 Russia
🇧🇾 Belarus
🇰🇵 North Korea
🇸🇴 Somalia
🇧🇫 Burkina Faso
🇨🇺 Cuba
🇬🇱 Greenland
and small islands (e.g. Seychelles, New Caledonia)
I appreciate the air strikes against ISIS targets in Syria, but it will not be enough. We have to ensure that the roughly 50,000 ISIS prisoners in northeastern Syria — being primarily held by Kurdish forces — are not released.
We should not allow the Kurdish forces — who helped us destroy ISIS on President Trump’s watch — to be threatened by Turkey or the radical Islamists who have taken over Syria.
Turkey has legitimate concerns regarding different groups that reside in northeastern Syria. But if there is conflict between Turkey and the Syrian Democratic Forces or Turkey attacks Kurdish forces, it will set in motion an ISIS jailbreak, which would be a nightmare for America.
The last time ISIS was in charge, thousands of Europeans and Americans were killed by ISIS plots that originated in Syria.
Furthermore, the reemergence of ISIS creates chaos throughout the region, which is going to lead to higher gas prices for us at home.
Turkey deserves to have a demilitarized buffer zone between northeastern Syria and Turkey to protect Turkish interests. However, if Turkey takes military action against Kurdish forces in Syria, it will jeopardize America’s interests dramatically.
In the past I have drafted sanctions targeting Turkey if they engage in military operations against the Kurdish forces who helped President Trump destroy ISIS. I stand ready to do this again in a bipartisan way.
@PStyle0ne1 Where is this from? The Romanov channel? Anyway great call yesterday, it looks like you were right.
I still think Oleshky is the most important for UA to get the heavy equipment across, but left-bank Dnipr is starting to look promising, now they are able to enter Kozachi Laheri.
@ivanastradner @axlprinze Original source is not the Austrian MoD; it is from Rybar New Year greeting card (no joke). You can recognize it by the Rybar logo in the middle. Rybar mentioned it some days ago how western media was taking this totally out of context.

The reason I think a coup attempt will take place this night is because Prigozhin has been setting this up, especially by the narrative he published early this morning: https://t.co/4ounsq8a5v
This narrative shifts the blame to the Russian MoD, and gives Putin a way to save face
Prigozhin released today a new interview going over the current state of affairs as well as looking back at the events preceding the start of the "SMO". In this first bit, he explains that the Donbas was plundered by Russians since 2014 and the 2022 war began for reasons very different from those advertised to the public.
It seems like Russia is heading for a historic night: a coup d'état is likely!
Russian military has just released videos addressing the fighters of the Wagner group.
Meanwhile Wagner-leader Prigozhin has just released a voice message that he is heading to Moscow!
Surovikin appealed to the commanders and fighters of PMC Wagner to stop.
"We used to win together.
We are of one blood".
"The enemy is just waiting for our internal political situation to escalate.
We cannot play into the hands of the enemy at this difficult time for the country.
<...>
Before it's too late...
We must submit to the will and order of the Russian President.
...Stop the columns and return them to their place of deployment.
Full translation of General Surovikin's video:

A general like him addressing the Wagner fighters directly means something serious is currently evolving. Note: he says "Stop the columns". There are some reports that Wagner columns are heading for Moscow.
General "Armageddon" Surovikin published a video calling Wagner to "obey the Supreme Commander".
"I have just returned by the order of the Ministry of Defence from the zero line, where our forces, our commanders, our soldiers, volunteers carry out the objective, fighting the superior enemy forces to death, take casualties, but stand on their positions.
I appeal to the leadership, commanders and fighters of PMC Wagner: Together with you, we walked a difficult path. Together with you, we fought, we took risks, we took losses, but overcome together. We are of the same blood. We are warriors.
I call on you to stop. The enemy is waiting for our internal political situation to aggravate. We shouldn’t play into the enemy’s hand in this difficult time for the country."
It needs to be done before it’s too late: to obey the will and order of the people-elected President of the Russian Federation. Stop the columns, and return them to their permanent positions and places of concentration.
To solve all problems with civil means only under the leadership of the Supreme Commander of the Russian Armed Forces.
He is being slowly joined by other high-ranking commanders of the Russian army in similar videos.
@DefMon3@scornthegreat Not entirely true. It appears in the very first frame of the explosion. I have used the original footage of the explosion and went through it frame by frame. It looks like a rocket or missile from the left-hand side of the explosion. Below are the first 3 frames of explosion.
@HelloMrBond@PStyle0ne1@TrentTelenko lol, PStyleOne 's not talking about the bird! There's a fire trail coming in from the left hand-side the moment the explosion happens. Look to the left side of the explosion, not the right side. Here I slowed down the footage:
NEW: I’m not sure people fully appreciate how dire the US life expectancy / mortality situation has got.

@HelenBranswell@MitohaOndo Sir, numerous top infectious disease specialists around the world like @HelenBranswell, @cmyeaton and trackers are waiting for a public update by your ministry.
You wrote "Mas datos en breve...": when can you give an update on #Marburgo confirmed cases, tests, etc?
One of the 12 persons which were tested yesterday, now has returned a #H5N1 positive test.
Source: https://t.co/vDDDEktRay
The new positive bird flu case (49 year old male) most likely originated from close contact with infected birds, rather than human-to-human transmission.
Worth paying attention:
After a 11-year old died from #H5N1 virus (avian influenza / 'bird flu') the Cambodia ministry of health announced 12 suspected(?) persons with bird flu were found.
No known human-to-human spread of #H5N1 has ever occurred.
