@DNIGabbard Supporting Trump maximum transparency policy, you disclose this about Fauci ? It should be the Epstein file everyone waiting for. This smells of a personal attack on Fauci. He’s only a government official under various Presidents.
@goddek@DNIGabbard It’s can’t be just Fauci. The American lab in Wuhan & its 30 global labs are controlled by American elite insiders ~ American Presidents & top officials. The leak wasn't an accident, it was a hit on China. Remember Trump branded it 'China virus' to lead the charge ?
@DNIGabbard The American Wuhan lab and its 30 global labs don't run themselves ~ they're controlled by American elite insiders, American presidents & top officials. The leak wasn't an accident. It was a hit on China. Remember Trump branded it 'China virus' to lead the charge.
@RealRickRule HK’s economy may be thriving under the Brits rule, but at an expense of its ordinary residents. Their housing were pathetic. Conglomerate & Brits control the property/land development. Hopefully with China taking back HK, there will be a change for the better.
JUST IN: Ukraine just deployed anti-drone soldiers to Qatar, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia. The country Russia has been bombing with Iranian Shahed drones for three years is now defending Gulf states from the same Iranian Shahed drones.
Read that sentence until the full geometry of this war becomes visible.
Zelensky announced on 10th March that Ukrainian military teams equipped with low-cost interceptor drones and electronic warfare systems have arrived in all three Gulf states this week, with a separate team deployed to Jordan for US base protection. The deployment follows direct requests from Washington and calls from Gulf leaders, including Saudi Crown Prince MBS.
The interceptors cost between $1,000 and $2,000 each. A Patriot missile costs $3 to $4 million. An Iron Dome Tamir interceptor costs $50,000 to $100,000. A Shahed drone costs $20,000 to $50,000. Ukraine’s battle-tested ramming drones, some 3D-printed and produced at rates of up to 950 per day, achieve over 60 to 70% kill rates against Shahed swarms at a thousandth of the cost of a Patriot. They are disposable. They are scalable. And they have been tested against the exact weapon system they are now deployed to counter, because Iran designed the Shahed and Russia has been launching them at Ukraine since 2022.
No other country on Earth has more operational experience killing Shaheds than Ukraine. No other country can offer that expertise at this price. And no other country needs something from the United States as desperately as Ukraine needs Patriot batteries for its own survival.
This is the quid pro quo nobody saw coming. Zelensky is not donating expertise. He is trading it. Ukrainian drone killers for American air defence missiles. Shahed interception capability for Patriot deliveries. The country that cannot defend its own power grid without Western systems is now defending Gulf oil infrastructure with indigenous technology cheaper than anything in the American arsenal. The leverage is extraordinary: Ukraine offers the one capability the Gulf urgently needs, at a cost the Pentagon cannot match, in exchange for the one capability Ukraine urgently needs and only Washington can provide.
While the US strips THAAD and Patriot batteries from South Korea and ships them to the Gulf at enormous logistical cost, Ukraine arrives with $1,000 drones in cargo containers. While Ghalibaf mocks American escorts as PlayStation, Ukrainian teams set up electronic warfare jammers on Gulf airfields. While the White House blames a staffer for a deleted post about an escort that never happened, Ukraine delivers the capability the post falsely claimed existed.
The Iran war just merged with the Russia war through the one weapon system they share: the Shahed drone. Designed in Iran. Manufactured for Russia. Launched against Ukraine for three years. Now launched against the Gulf. And intercepted in both theatres by the same Ukrainian operators using the same $1,000 technology.
Iran built the drone. Russia scaled it. Ukraine learned to kill it. And now Ukraine is selling that knowledge to the countries Iran is attacking, funded by the country Russia is fighting.
The circle is complete. The wars are one.

@ally_eh@CollinRugg No offense. Centuries of slavery created generational trauma in America. Mix that with one of the easiest gun ownership systems in the world, and you get predictable results. Yet somehow many prefer blaming the victims of history rather than the system that produced the problem.
@VigilantFox The US often lauds its ‘democracy’ . But what’s democracy for the people when state governments approve Big Tech data centres that drain water from farmers and communities? Sure, people can protest, but little is done to truly protect them. Democracy at its best.
@VigilantFox Don’t the state government protect their own people ? Welcome the big tech investment but do include new projects to increase water supply too. Common sense right ?
