You want the NATO allies to join you in a war you started without ever consulting these allies about the war or explaining your war aims. We’re meant just to meekly fall in line.
You recently supported a US invasion of a NATO ally (Denmark/Greenland) but now you want these same allies to join your war.
Your president disparaged and misrepresented the role of NATO allies in Afghanistan. But now you want them to join with you again in a war of your making.
You went to war with Iran without a thought of how to keep the Strait of Hormuz open and without involving your allies in the matter. But now you want the NATO allies to bail you out, even though there’s still no plan for Hormuz.
You want the NATO allies to join you in a war in which you still cannot articulate the endgame. Or what victory would look like.
You went to war thinking the Iranian regime would quickly topple, that Tehran would not attack the Gulf States or close Hormuz. Why would we align with such Epic Stupidity?
You and other know-nothing blowhards started this war all on your own. You can finish it on your own. If you’re able to …
@Larskooistra_ The greed and fear index hit an all time low last month hovering between 5-8. How much more fearful and hesitant can it get?
How are you so sure the accumulation process isn’t done and what we are seeing now is the reversal?
@2147mill They take a ridiculous cut of your claim bro. You can do it yourself if you think you could be owed a refund. Have a look on money saving expert 👍
🚨🇦🇪🇺🇸 Prominent UAE billionaire Khalaf Ahmad Al Habtoor just published an open letter to Trump. It's brutal.
"Who gave you the authority to drag our region into a war with Iran? Who gave you permission to turn our region into a battlefield?"
Al Habtoor's a major figure: billionaire, former diplomat, outspoken political voice in the Gulf. When he talks, UAE leadership's listening.
His questions:
* Was this your decision or Netanyahu's pressure?
* Did you calculate collateral damage before firing?
* You placed GCC countries at the heart of danger they didn't choose
* Your "Board of Peace" initiatives were funded by Gulf states. Now we're getting attacked. Where did that money go?
* You promised no wars. You've conducted operations in 7 countries: Somalia, Iraq, Yemen, Nigeria, Syria, Iran, Venezuela
* 658 airstrikes in your first year back = Biden's entire term (which you criticized)
* War costs $40-65 billion for operations, possibly $210 billion total
* Your approval rating's down 9% in 400 days
* Americans were promised peace. They're getting war funded by their taxes
The sharpest line: "Before the ink has dried on your Board of Peace initiative, we find ourselves facing military escalation that endangers the entire region. So where did those initiatives go?"
Al Habtoor's not some random critic. He's establishment. Connected. When UAE elites start publicly questioning Trump's decision-making, that's America's closest Arab allies saying "we didn't sign up for this."
The letter ends: "True leadership is not measured by war decisions, but by wisdom, respect for others, and pushing toward achieving peace."
@KhalafAlHabtoor
The United States has spent EIGHT TRILLION DOLLARS fighting and policing in the Middle East. Thousands of our Great Soldiers have died or been badly wounded. Millions of people have died on the other side. GOING INTO THE MIDDLE EAST IS THE WORST DECISION EVER MADE.....
@robprogressive Those 13,336 people are struggling to make ends meet after paying their tax. AJ pockets nearly £40mil. Shouldn’t he and others like him pay a little bit more tax on those obscene earnings to ease the pressure on the working class that are struggling to feed their kids?
I have been sorting out my kids inheritance tax after their mother passed 6 weeks ago.
What a nightmare and so unfair in every way.
1. Gifts going back 7 years taxed at 40%. 7 years if bank statements.
2. 6 months to pay IHT bill whilst burying, grieving, getting valuations, gathering 7 years bank statement, 6 months of bills, prepping house for sale (to pay the tax they have to sell their home), court then probate, selling the house. Just 6 months to do this or 7.5-8.5% interest applies!!!
It’s an impossible target to meet.
3. Content valuation of table chairs, pictures and ornaments taxed at 40%
This is money she paid a huge tax bill on just 3 years ago after my 32 years of work building a business and giving out over 5,000 jobs. Now just 3 years later another 40% (after tax free amount £325k jointly).
It’s theft in every way.
My kids (young adults) life horrified and created a lot of anxiety trying to get things valued and sold whilst burying their mother.
Disgusting @Keir_Starmer a disgrace the human race and my country. Get out or get thrown out.
$RIO just announced they are launching their Freehold Wallet on July 1st.
@realio_network wallet will be coming to the IOS App Store, accessible to millions.
The $RIO ecosystem just levelled up.
If someone had told me a couple years ago that in 2025 Bitcoin would be trading at almost $110,000 while most altcoins would still be sitting below their 2021 all-time highs — I would’ve laughed and said:
“Stfu, you’re fucking crazy.”
Fast forward to today…
That’s exactly what’s happening.
And honestly?
It has been an insane cycle so far.
Congratulations to everyone who predicted this.
You got rewarded big time.
But now, let me tell you something.
Over the past few weeks, I’ve noticed something “alarming”:
People are giving up on altcoins and FOMOing into Bitcoin at these prices.
And in my opinion?
That’s kinda reckless.
Don’t get me wrong—I still believe Bitcoin will go higher from here (and if you believe in its future potential as a store of wealth, I’m sure you’ll be fine).
But if your goal is to “maximize your ROI” in 2025, the R/R for buying Bitcoin now is far from optimal.
Like, what’s the realistic upside left on it this cycle?
Maybe a 2x (if we’re being generous)?
Probably less.
The real money, in the remaining window of the cycle, will be made on altcoins.
Have you seen most alts charts?
The majority of them are still much closer to their all-time lows than their highs.
From an R/R perspective—especially with BTC dominance this high and sentiment this low—they look insanely attractive.
If you have been paying attention, you’d know what’s mainstream now…
The same old story at this exact point in the macro cycle:
“Altseason won’t come.”
“It’s a new paradigm.”
“Only BTC goes up.”
“Institutional demand.”
“BTC to $500k.”
When you start hearing that shit on repeat…
You usually want to start moving in the opposite direction.
And now we’re getting closer and closer to that moment.
So let me be honest:
If you’ve been holding alts through the pain of the last couple years, now is the worst time to give up on them.
Imagine leaving right before things start to get interesting.
Also, bonus point for Bitcoin maxis:
If you were fully in Bitcoin until now—well done.
You nailed it.
But as I said above, if you want to make the most of the remaining part of the cycle, you might actually want to start scaling out from Bitcoin (or at least reducing exposure) and rotating into solid alts.
Because let’s be real:
$BTC dominance probably won’t stay this high forever.
We’ve already seen early signs—just look at how aggressively $ETH moved in recent weeks.
And remember…
When altcoins start moving?
They fucking MOVE.
They steal the show.
“Bubble.”
“Winning season.”
You get it?
Better be ready.
