People don't grasp the sheer speed and scale of Europe's decline.
This 👇 is an extraordinary number shared by Luis Vassy, director of Sciences Po (one of France's most famous schools) in this article: https://t.co/BQbkXb2kPl
He calculated that the EU is declining 3 times faster than the Qing dynasty at the height of China's century of humiliation.
Back then, it took China 50 years to drop from 30% of world GDP to 17%, whereas it took the EU just 17 years (from 2008 to 2025).
Insane 😢 And, sadly, given the current direction and the EU's systematically suicidal policy choices (latest example: https://t.co/6EYJgdXVVo), it's just the beginning...
That particular moment when a Dutch diplomat’s suitcase was seized at Tehran’s Imam Khomeini International Airport after he refused an X-ray scan.
Inside his suitcase were Starlink units, satellite phones, and high-tech wireless equipment meant for covert operations.
Western legacy media journalists would always say that they had no presence in Gaza, so they couldn’t verify reports. They have a huge presence in Lebanon, but they are just as useless. They are Epstein-class employees.
X has now removed the blue check from Iran's MFA Spokesperson’s account—after stripping the Ministry and Minister's verified badges—despite our full Premium+ payments.
This arbitrary de-verification fits X’s pattern of selective censorship and American digital piracy, aimed at suppressing the truth about the U.S.’ illegal war against Iran.
Recognising the reality that the war against Iran was a failure, that the proxy war against Russia has been lost, and that the economic war against China has backfired is smeared and censored in decadent Europe as being “pro-Iran,” “pro-Russia,” and “pro-China.” Being “pro-West” demands embracing delusion by putting on a blindfold and marching toward the cliff. It is obligatory to repeat dishonest chants about democracy and human rights as they burn down the Middle East, fight to the last Ukrainian, risk nuclear war with Russia, and make an enemy out of China. All of these states could have been key partners. Reality is believed to be a social construction, and if they only commit to narratives about the world as they wish it were, then it will come true.
An update on this, today: Lawyers have just reported that Thiago Ávila is being subjected to "repeated interrogations lasting up to eight hours".
Interrogators have explicitly threatened him, stating he will either be “killed” or “spend 100 years in jail".
Both Ávila and Saif Abukeshek are being held in total isolation, under constant high-intensity lighting. Lawyers say this is as "a known Israeli Prison Service (IPS) practice specifically designed to induce sleep deprivation and sensory disorientation."
Ávila has reported being held in extremely cold temperatures.
Both men are kept "blindfolded at all times whenever they are moved outside their cells, including during medical examinations".
They are doing their best to cover up this story!
Meet 36-year old illegal settler Yonah Schreiber, the Jew/ish extremist who brutally attacked a 48 year old, French Catholic nun in Jerusalem. Jonah even kicked her while she was down in agonizing pain as his people do. A fellow illegal settler observed and did nothing to help the nun.
Israel only recently detained Jonah after the video of his grotesque crime went viral. There are no details of his court date or if he has been released.
They are doing their best to suppress this video and story online. Why aren’t all influencers exposing it?
UAE quitting OPEC has an obvious explanation which no one is talking about. This is that UAE is under financial stress as a result of the Hormuz closure.
There have been several signs of this:
(1) UAE's refusal to rollover its $3.5 billion loan to Pakistan;
(2) UAE's recent agreement with the US of a swap arrangement with the Federal Reserve;
(3) Reports from China of massive capital flight from the Gulf States to Hong Kong, which at one point reportedly reached $40 billion a week.
UAE hosts the biggest international financial centres in the Gulf. In the event of massive capital outflow and in the absence of corresponding inflow from oil exports it is easy to see how UAE might be under financial stress. In fact there are reports UAE at one point was taking administrative steps to try to staunch capital outflow, which, if as great as the Chinese reports were saying, might have badly stressed its banks.
If so it is not surprising if UAE is currently positioning itself outside OPEC in order to boost oil exports to the greatest extent that it can.
All discussed at the beginning of today's video which also looks at Putin's response to the Tuapse drone attacks and the latest changes in the Ukraine battlefields.

The genocidal Israeli military has murdered yet another journalist in Lebanon.
Her name was Amal Khalil.
The Israeli murderers blocked rescue workers from accessing the building where Khalil was buried under rubble.
Photographer Zeinab Faraj also suffered a head wound, according to the Union of Journalists in Lebanon.
The Lebanese health ministry said Israel’s military “prevented the completion of the humanitarian mission by firing a sound grenade and live ammunition at the ambulance”.
Khalil was later found dead by civil defence, who pulled her corpse from under the rubble.
Zelensky 4 years ago, in March 2022: "There are those in the West who don't mind a long war because it would mean exhausting Russia, even if this means the demise of Ukraine and comes at the cost of Ukrainian lives"
