Sesudah Himbara, sekarang bank Swasta DIPAKSA ditarik secara off budget untuk membiayai proyek2 prioritas unggulan pemerintah (MBG, KPMD...)
Cash flow APBN sudah gak kuat, yang DISURUH jadi penyedia likuiditas ya Perbankan.

It was an honor to host Indonesian Defense Minister @sjafriesjams at the Pentagon today.

I was proud to announce that we are elevating our relationship to a Major Defense Cooperation Partnership, in recognition of the strength and potential of our bilateral defense ties.

BREAKING : Italian 🇮🇹 Georgia Meloni becomes the first PM in the world to belt Trump for his remarks on Pope 🔥

🇺🇸 Trump –– "The Pope is weak against crime and he is not doing his job well. He is terrible for foreign policy"

🇮🇹 Meloni –– 🔥 "Trump's words toward the Holy Father are unacceptable. The Pope is the head of the Catholic Church and it is right and normal for him to call for peace and to condemn every form of war"

Trump expected support at Strait of Hormuz from Meloni but she's exposing his hypocrisy instead 🤣

It is becoming increasingly clear that the United States is restructuring its global military posture not primarily for Iran, but for a long-term strategic confrontation with China.

Iran is the justification.
China is the calculation.

Washington has done this before. After 9/11, the “War on Terror” enabled a vast redeployment that entrenched U.S. power deep inside West Asia, not just to fight terrorism, but to sit astride the world’s energy arteries, mineral basins, and continental crossroads.

Today, a similar repositioning is underway under the banner of deterrence against Tehran.
But great powers do not reorganize global force posture for secondary threats.

You cannot contain a peer competitor from thousands of miles away.
You cannot shape the balance of Eurasia while anchored in Europe alone. Strategic gravity lies further east, where trade routes, pipelines, resource basins, and land corridors determine the flow of power.

For more than a century, American primacy has rested on command of the seas: controlling chokepoints, shipping lanes, and maritime trade.
China’s grand strategy aims to neutralize that advantage by activating the continental mass of Eurasia.

Railways, pipelines, and overland corridors cannot be blockaded by aircraft carriers.

If Beijing succeeds in building fast, secure, and inexpensive continental routes, modern Silk Roads, the strategic value of U.S. naval dominance declines sharply.
Sea power matters less when the world’s commerce, energy, and supply chains move by land.

This is why Central Asia and its surrounding zones are pivotal.
The region is not only a transit hub, it is a vast reservoir of critical minerals essential for advanced technologies: rare earths, strategic metals, and energy inputs required for semiconductors, batteries, aerospace systems, and next-generation weapons.

Control over these resources means control over the industrial foundations of future power.
Denying them to rivals is as important as securing them.

Equally decisive is the emerging north–south axis centered on Iran.
Overland routes running through Iran allow Russia to access the Persian Gulf directly, faster, cheaper, and beyond vulnerable maritime chokepoints.
This corridor compresses distance between northern Eurasia and warm-water ports, reshaping trade geography.

If China integrates into this network by land, a continuous Eurasian system emerges linking East Asia, Central Asia, Russia, and the Gulf.

In that scenario, American sea control becomes strategically insufficient.
The United States would face a continental bloc able to trade, transport energy, and move goods across Eurasia without reliance on maritime routes dominated by the U.S. Navy.

Control of West Asia therefore achieves multiple objectives simultaneously:

- Secures critical mineral basins and energy reserves

- Dominates key transit chokepoints• Blocks east–west continental integration

- Disrupts north–south connectivity linking Russia to the Gulf

- Positions forces at the intersection of three continents

- Prevents the formation of a self-sufficient Eurasian economic sphere

In this framework, Iran is not the endgame, it is the gate.

What appears as regional crisis management is in reality great-power positioning.
The struggle is not about one country, one conflict, or one nuclear program.
It is about whether the 21st century will be shaped by maritime empires or continental powers.

If China succeeds in activating the land while Russia gains southern access through Iran, a vast integrated Eurasian system could emerge, one largely insulated from maritime pressure.

America would still command the oceans, but no longer the world system.

The battles in West Asia are not the main war.
They are the deployment phase for the one that matters.

Spain’s MEP, Irene Montero:

“They say Iran has nuclear weapons — sounds like what they said about Iraq.”

“But it is Israel that has nuclear weapons.”

“The U.S. is the only country to ever drop a nuclear bomb.”

“Today, Israel and the U.S. are the greatest threat to humanity.”

[Rick Sanchez @RickSanchezTV]

Iran has not attacked the U.S.

Iran doesn’t even have the capability to attack the U.S.

Iran was doing everything it could to MAKE PEACE with the U.S.

And yet, the U.S. hit them.

Draw your own conclusion.
