"The 'diplomacy' of a real estate developer and a son-in-law is a joke that isn't funny. Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner have visited Moscow 8 times but keep 'getting seasick' on the train to Kyiv.They aren't diplomats; they are deal-makers trying to trade Ukrainian blood for 'infrastructure profits'. This is not just an insult to Ukraine—it is a historic disgrace for the United States. While they play business games, we fight for survival. Washington must realize: real peace is not a real estate deal.
Kaja Kallas is asking a fair question: russia isn’t winning - on the battlefield or in its economy.
So why are we even discussing handing over territories it failed to conquer in 12 years?
@kajakallas
This is not a theory. It is a documented funding chain: Russian oil revenues flow into Hungarian state energy contracts, into MCC's $1.7 billion endowment, into the Danube Institute's MOU with Heritage, into Project 2025, into the American political movement that sent the Vice President to Budapest this week to save the man who manages the vehicle. Magyar wins and the chain breaks.
The main barrier is Ukraine's export restrictions on defense products.
Amazing Drones CEO Maksym Klymenko: "If we get a license to export right now, there's a really easy solution. We see the situation is changing, and there are lots of threats." 5X
He saw the biggest opportunity not in the crowded FPV market but in interceptors.
Amazing Drones produces them for $2,500-$3,000 each. The Iran war made the case: millions of dollars in air defense missiles were used to shoot down drones that cost a fraction of that. 3/
Japan has long kept its investors away from Ukraine's defense industry.
Tokyo realized drones could reach Japan from Russia, China, or North Korea. Terra Drone CEO Toru Tokushige visited Ukraine, ignored his government's travel advice, and met over 100 defense tech companies 2/
For Lebanon we must act.
Everything must be done to prevent this country, so close to France, from once again being drawn into war.
The Lebanese have a right to peace and security—like everyone in the Middle East.
It is to halt the war and prevent the worst that, following my exchanges with President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu, I spoke today with Lebanon’s highest authorities in order to establish a plan to bring an end to the military operations currently being carried out by Hezbollah and Israel on either side of the border.
Hezbollah must immediately cease its fire toward Israel. Israel must refrain from any ground intervention or large-scale operation on Lebanese territory.
The Lebanese authorities have given me their commitment to take control of the positions held by Hezbollah and to fully assume responsibility for security across the entire national territory. I give them my full support.
France will strengthen its cooperation with the Lebanese Armed Forces and will provide them with armored transport vehicles, as well as operational and logistical support.
The French detachment within the United Nations Force in Lebanon is also continuing its mission in the south of the country.
Concerned about the displacement of tens of thousands of Lebanese civilians currently fleeing the south, I have decided on the immediate dispatch of humanitarian aid for them.
Several tons of medicines are being transported, along with shelter solutions and assistance. This is a testament to the friendship the French feel toward the Lebanese.
At this moment of great danger, I call on the Israeli Prime Minister not to expand the war to Lebanon.
I call on Iranian leaders not to further draw Lebanon into a war that is not its own.
Hezbollah must renounce its weapons, respect the national interest, show that it is not a militia taking orders from abroad, and allow the Lebanese to come together to preserve their country.
University of Texas study exposes Bitcoin's fake pump: Tether manipulation drove nearly 60% of the 2017 price surge, with just 95 hours of heavy flows accounting for over half the gains.
Connect the dots. Epstein donated $850K+ to MIT, funding the Digital Currency Initiative that bailed out Bitcoin Core devs like Gavin Andresen and Wladimir van der Laan when the Bitcoin Foundation collapsed, locking in the shift from peer-to-peer cash to "digital gold" store of value.
Epstein's web runs deeper: emails show him hosting Tether co-founder Brock Pierce and ex-Treasury Secretary Larry Summers at his Manhattan mansion to discuss Bitcoin.
The truth: Satoshi designed P2P electronic cash. Post-2014, scaling got killed, blocks capped, fees spiked, turning BTC into slow expensive "gold" for HODLers. Epstein-backed MIT ties kept the devs who enforced that hijack paid and in control.
The entire "store of value" myth? Built on unbacked Tether fraud, artificially inflating prices during dips, with Epstein-linked Pierce as co-founder.
Bitcoin wasn't organic freedom money. It was captured, manipulated, and sold as digital gold on fraud-fueled pumps.
The illusion is cracking. Wake up before it's too late. This shit runs deeper than most people want to admit.
"Defending Ukraine means defending ourselves.
We understand the meaning of the Russian aggression against Ukraine…
As long as your people need help, they can feel at home in Poland.”

Wow, what an awesome man! 😊🫡
@jamiedupree VA was being projected Spanberger +10-15%. NJ is crazy - the narrative was mostly a tight race with Sherill winning by a few points - not 13% - pollsters missed NJ bigtime
@gilduran76@davetroy@FT We did this in West Virginia 140 years ago. We called them company towns. This experiment in unaccountable power for rich dudes is generally looked upon negatively by historians.
Well, I’ll bee! 🐝🌸 In the sunlit desert of Zion National Park, these dedicated globe mallow bees ensure the survival of both the blooming flowers and their future generation.
#NationalParksUSA is now streaming on @DisneyPlus and @hulu.
China has unilaterally declared a no-sail zone in the Yellow Sea’s Provisional Measure Zone (PMZ), a shared area with South Korea.
South Korean ships are now barred, and 3 steel structures have been installed in the zone.
Sound familiar? Because it is. @CarpioJudge
Here's the part Trump doesn't want anyone to know:
1. 71% of America’s GDP comes from blue counties.
2. Blue counties power the US economy.
3. Blue counties subsidize red states.
Look it up for yourself.
