Tuberville: "These Muslims? They call it a religion. What religion do you know that says 'if you're not in our religion, we're gonna kill you. We want you dead.' That's not a religion. That's a cult. They took over Europe. It's gone."

Trump threatens war with China: "President Xi will give me a big, fat, hug when I get there in a few weeks. We are working together smartly, and very well! Doesn’t that beat fighting??? BUT REMEMBER, we are very good at fighting, if we have to - far better than anyone else!!! President DJT"

BARTIROMO: Did you see Europe is drafting a plan to open up the Hormuz Strait without the United States? TRUMP: It's so sad. Look at Greenland. We should have Greenland.

Trump is posting fresh blasphemies this morning

Great post by Magyar

Iran secretly acquired a Chinese spy satellite that gave the Islamic republic a powerful new capability to target US military bases across the Middle East during the recent war www.ft.com/content/1...

Europe v the US? There is much talk of a possible collapse of Nato but other big stuff in a gathering transatlantic civil war is invisible – or little noticed. France took a strategic step last week towards reducing its dependence on American tech giants. 1/ www.numerique.gouv.fr/sinformer/es...

Just a reminder that no deal with Trump is guaranteed to last the day never mind be a basis for stability over the years

Good Morning Taipei! 🇹🇼

The key criteria for a just war include 1) just cause, 2) legitimate authority, 3) right intention, 4) last resort, 5) proportionality, and 6) probability of success. Trump's actions against Iran can be challenged on ALL SIX COUNTS.

A US-sanctioned tanker linked to China is making its way through the Strait of Hormuz, testing Trump’s naval blockade

. Scary, but Trump doesn't know what the purposes of NATO are, why NATO was established, or what role the US has! He’s got his information FROM PUTIN! 😳

Vance admits that Trump’s blockade is an act of economic terrorism against the entire world.

Q: Did you post that picture of yourself depicted as Jesus Christ? TRUMP: I did post it and I thought it was me as a doctor and had to do Red Cross. Only the fake news could come up with that one.

It took a bit longer than two weeks, but the Trump health care plan has been released:

1. A lot of people are focused on the apparent contradiction/absurdity of Trump blockading the Strait if he wants to open it. And yes, that is a real issue. But the even more immediate concern is what the U.S. Navy must do to actually put this plan into effect.

Current status of the Strait of Hormuz dispute

So does this mean we will fire on the Chinese commercial ships currently entering and exiting the Straits?

Blocking the Strait of Hormuz to unblock the Strait of Hormuz is peak Trump foreign policy.

I'm planning to use the JD Vance technique when buying a new car today - call the sales executive a wanker, offer £50 and tell them if they don't accept I'll torch their showroom. Wish me luck.

Journalist, "China is preparing to send weapons to Iran" President Trump, "If China does that, China will have big problems, ok"

Xi is just having fun watching Trump try to un-F himself.

So killing their spiritual leader, bombing an elementary school, threatening to wipe out their civilization, referring to it as a Christian holy war, and sending Mr. Personality Vance to negotiate didn’t get things resolved?

The classical violinist is back at Dongmen Market this hot Sunday morning in Taipei 🇹🇼

Glad he's laser focused on the peace negotiations.

JD Vance abruptly wraps up his very short news conference in Pakistan, and while he walks away ignores questions about the Strait of Hormuz and whether the failure of the negotiations means the US is headed back to war

Good Morning Taipei! 🇹🇼
