🇺🇸💥 Trump’s Strike on Iran Just Sent a Message to Beijing And Around the World 💥🇨🇳

Trump has made himself unpredictable. He acts decisively. That makes dictators FEAR.

This wasn’t just about Iran’s nukes—it was a warning to China.

🧵Thread: Image
2/ On June 21–22, Trump ordered airstrikes that obliterated Iran’s key nuclear sites.

Now Beijing knows:
✔️ U.S. bombers can destroy hardened targets
✔️ China’s imported air defense systems didn’t work
✔️ Underground bunkers aren’t safe

That’s not just a defeat—it’s a warning. Image
3/ China experts are openly saying it:

“Trump acts decisively—if he says he’ll strike, he won’t hesitate.”

“Dictators can’t predict him. That’s why they fear him.”

“Taiwan’s not safe just because you hide in a mountain.” Image
4/ The CCP watched as:

▪️ Israel assassinated top Iranian generals
▪️ Iran’s Russian and Chinese-supplied air defenses collapsed
▪️ U.S. bombers took out Fordow—a 90-meter-deep facility under a mountain

If Trump can do that in Iran, what does that mean for Zhongnanhai? HA! Image
5/ Reminder:

🔺 China’s own military command bunkers under Western Hills sit 60 meters below ground
🔺 The U.S. has defended Taiwan since 1949
🔺 Xi Jinping’s dictatorship relies on the illusion of invulnerability

That illusion just cracked. Image
6/ Meanwhile, the CCP is fuming:

They condemned the U.S. and Israeli strikes as “violations of Iranian sovereignty”

Translation: They’re terrified that Trump just set a precedent. And that if they move on Taiwan—he’ll do it again.

Because he absolutely will. Image
7/ And it's not just that. Trump demonstrated in the Israel-Iran War that his deadlines MATTER.

That's a lesson that won't soon be forgotten, not in security matters and not in the trade talks. Image
8/ If Trump can break Iran’s nuclear ambitions overnight, imagine a real war with China.

Not a pretty sight...for the CCP.

It’s not just about defense. It’s about deterrence.

And China just got the memo. Image

🚨 THREAD: Can the West finally break China’s chokehold on batteries?

New battery tech just took a major leap forward—and it could mean the end of China’s monopoly over EVs, drones, and even national defense.

Here’s what’s happening (and what it means for America) 🧵 Image
2/ For 30 years, China has dominated every piece of the battery supply chain:

🔋 90%+ of battery-grade lithium
🔋 70% of cobalt processing
🔋 75% of graphite
🔋 100% of Communist Party control

It’s a stranglehold. And it’s national suicide to rely on it. Image
3/ But that’s changing.

American startups are now leapfrogging China’s dominance by replacing rare, China-controlled minerals like cobalt and nickel with abundant Western materials like sulfur.

Yes, sulfur—the 10th most common element in the universe. Image

🚨 Trump Admin Takes Action After Massive Fraud Uncovered at Agency Dems Tried to Protect from DOGE 🚨

Democrats SCREAMED when DOGE auditors came to USAID. It didn't take long to figure out why.

Now the SBA is auditing ALL contracts going back 15 YEARS.

THREAD🧵 Image
2/ USAID turned out to be a giant global Democrat slush fund. And they couldn't even be honest with each other! DOJ just exposed a $550 MILLION bribery scandal there!

Four USAID officers took BRIBES for 10 YEARS to rig foreign aid contracts worth more than half a billion.
3/ The scheme:

🔹 Cash bribes
🔹 Country club weddings
🔹 Fake jobs for family
🔹 Mortgage down payments
🔹 NBA luxury suite tickets
🔹 Laptops, burner phones, shell companies

All to funnel contracts to preferred DEMOCRAT vendors—on YOUR dime. Image

🚨BREAKING: Trump and Bibi’s Bold Plan

Shortly after the Iran strikes, Trump and Netanyahu quietly agreed to a new vision:

— End Gaza war in 2 weeks
— Saudi & Syrian normalization
— Abraham Accords expansion
— A 2-state framework on America and Israel’s terms

🧵 Image
2/ It happened right after the B-2s struck Iran.

Trump, Marco Rubio, Bibi Netanyahu, and Ron Dermer held a four-way call. The mood?

“Euphoria,” one official told Israel Hayom.

Not just over Iran. Over what comes next. Image
3/ Here’s the plan — and it’s already underway:

🔹 Gaza war ends in 2 weeks
🔹 Hamas leaders exiled
🔹 Hostages released
🔹 Gaza governed by a 4-nation Arab coalition: Egypt, UAE & two others
🔹 Mass Gaza emigration to willing host countries Image

🚨BREAKING: Power Struggle in Beijing? Major Xi Jinping Ally PURGED From China’s Top Military Body

Adm. Miao Hua — one of Xi’s most trusted allies — has been formally purged from China’s top military command.

Is Xi's power threatened? It's looking more and more that way.

🧵 Image
2/ Miao Hua wasn’t just anyone.

He was head of the PLA’s political work department — the man responsible for ideological loyalty inside the Chinese military.

He rose under Xi. He was a Xi loyalist.

Now he's gone. No reason given. Erased. Image
3/ China’s rubber-stamp legislature announced Miao’s ouster without explanation.

The defense ministry website has since deleted its leadership page entirely. Searches for Miao’s successor — or even for other top brass — yield nothing.

The CCP is going dark. Image

🇺🇸🧵 BREAKING: Trump Delivers Peace in Congo — and a Heavy Blow to China 🧵

While the media was focused on NATO, SCOTUS, NYC and Iran, Trump just ended a 30-year war in Africa — and may have flipped the entire global minerals race on its head.

Here’s what happened ⬇️ Image
2/ For nearly three decades, Congo and Rwanda have been at war — a bloody conflict that’s killed over 6 million people in Central Africa.

Democrats didn't care. Trump brokered peace.

Now, thanks to Trump’s deal, $24 trillion in untapped mineral resources.

Disaster for China. Image
3/ Trump’s envoy, Massad Boulous, brokered a minerals-for-peace deal between Congo and Rwanda.

🟣 80% of the world’s cobalt
🔋 Tantalum
⚡ Lithium
🔩 Key components for electric vehicles, smartphones, missiles, and AI chips

And most of it? Controlled by China — until now. Image

🚨 BREAKING: Trump Ends ALL Trade Talks With Canada 🚨

Fresh from the G7 & NATO summits, Trump just dropped a bombshell: he's terminating all trade negotiations with Canada, in response to Canada’s new digital tax targeting U.S. tech companies.

Let’s break it down 🧵👇 Image
2/ Canada’s new Digital Services Tax (DST) goes into effect Monday.

It’s a 3% levy targeting companies like Amazon, Airbnb, and Google.

Trump called it a “blatant attack” on America and its companies.

So he hit back—hard. Image
3/ Trump posted on Truth Social:

“We are hereby terminating all discussions on trade with Canada… We will let Canada know the Tariff they will be paying within the next seven day period.”

🇨🇦 Ouch. Image
