1/8 Dictators only understand power and china picked its side long ago: Ukraine should exercise caution in placing trust in china and consider altering its strategy, as the current appeasement approach has failed to yield the desired results.
2/8 Following his discussion with the chinese counterpart, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba announced that Ukraine has received a clear indication that china is actively working to bring an end to russia's war against Ukraine.
3/8 While it's understandable that Ukraine seeks dialogue with china given its current predicament, it feels compelled to appease china in order to limit its support for russia in the war. Nevertheless, this may not be the most effective strategy.
4/8 For the past two and a half years, china has consistently supported Ukraine's invasion and genocide. china is actively engaged in a conflict against Ukraine and has displayed no intention of seeking an end to the war. Therefore, china's statements hold no credibility.
5/8 Ukraine should have absolutely no trust in china. When it comes to china, actions speak louder than words, and talks hold little significance.
6/8 china is providing financial support for russia's invasion of Ukraine, assisting russia in bypassing sanctions and supplying machinery for its defense industry. Additionally, china is providing russia with geospatial intelligence to target Ukraine and its civilians.
7/8 china does not respond favorably to appeasement, as it only comprehends strength. Ukraine may want to reconsider its strategy and take a firmer stance against china by exposing its behavior, instead of attempting to gloss over china's actions in the hope of appeasement.
Iran’s military has been incredibly unimpressive in this war, but it still managed to back Trump into a corner and keep the regime alive.
The war is existential for Iran, not the US, and when you combine this with Trump’s horrible planning, you get a disaster
2/5 Usually an underdog has to pull off a massive military upset to corner a superpower, as we have seen in places like Ukraine. That is not happening here.
Iran is failing militarily. They have lost almost every single ”battle,” yet they are still ”beating” the US
3/5 The reason is simple:
Tactical victories mean little when the enemy is fighting for survival and you aren't ready to go as far.
For Tehran, this fight is existential. For the US, it is not
Tech oligarchs have made themselves universally hated simply by revealing who they truly are and how little self-awareness they possess.
They are, actually, the best argument against themselves
2/6 Some have crossed the line from opportunistic greed into neoreactionary extremism, with figures like Peter Thiel and Marc Andreessen leading the charge.
They insulate themselves from reality, and their absolute lack of self-awareness makes them dangerous
3/6 Andreessen recently gave an interview proudly admitting to having zero introspection.
We see the consequences of this daily.
When people wielding immense power refuse to ever look inward or question their motives, disaster inevitably follows
1/5 As Hungary approaches the April 2026 elections, Orbán faces a severe political test.
His failed rule has actively aligned Budapest with Moscow, obstructed European support for Ukraine, and prioritized Russian energy over Western unity, thereby ruining Hungary's potential
2/5 The economic reality of this geopolitical positioning is stark.
Hungary's GDP growth stagnated at just 0.4% in 2025.
It has completely decoupled from regional growth trends, falling drastically behind the expanding economies of neighboring Poland and Romania
3/5 This economic stagnation is tied directly to structural state capture.
Transparency International recently ranked Hungary at 40 out of 100 on its Corruption Perceptions Index.
It remains the lowest-scoring and most corrupt member state in the European Union. Pathetic!
1/5 Peter Thiel holding secret lectures in Rome about the Antichrist is pure dystopian fiction.
He is no theologian, just a dangerous, yet pathetic, Bond villain trying to sound profound.
Yet no one fits the description of the Antichrist he fears so much better than he does
2/5 Look at his daily life.
He is an oligarch who builds military AI and global mass surveillance networks, yet he sits in Rome and tells his audience that the people trying to regulate his tech and stop his unaccountable power are the actual Antichrist
3/5 His hypocrisy is staggering.
He is a gay immigrant who built a massive fortune thanks to the tolerance of liberal, democratic California, and now he uses that very wealth to fund an ultra-conservative movement designed to strip those freedoms away from everyone else
