🔥 1/ This is not a sci-fi film…

Ukraine has officially invited global weapons manufacturers to test their deadliest AI weapons on the Russian front lines.

No ethics board. No limits. Real soldiers used for data collection.

Here’s the breakdown 🧵 Image
Image
2/ The new program is called "Test in Ukraine", run by Ukraine’s Brave1 defence tech initiative.

Arms makers submit their prototypes. If they’re “advanced” or “deadly” enough, Ukraine deploys them in live combat for testing.

Yes, actual war zone testing...
3/ They’re even scoring results on a “deadliness” scale, just like a video game.

The more soldiers a weapon kills, the better the feedback.

And this is being celebrated as innovation in defence contracting.
4/ Among the systems being tested:

AI facial-recognition drones

Autonomous aerial strike tech

Next-gen surveillance & kill-chain targeting

Ukraine is positioning itself as the Silicon Valley of warfare, turning war into an R&D sandbox.
5/ And it’s no coincidence…

Zelensky’s long-term plan is clear:

He wants Ukraine’s future GDP built on arms development and exports, mirroring what Germany did.

Warfare as industry...
6/ Meanwhile, 140 drones were launched by Ukraine in a massive strike on Russian territory.

Swarm tactics. AI co-ordination.

Only a handful got through, but this is the direction Ukraine wants to lead the world in.

Drone warfare at scale...
7/ It’s not just Ukraine. The U.S. just diverted Patriot missile systems meant for Switzerland, and sent them to Ukraine via NATO.

Switzerland paid for them.

The U.S. redirected them.

Guess who profits?

U.S. defence contractors...
8/ Trump has publicly said it:

“I don’t care about Ukraine, I care about America winning.”

And these contracts bring in hundreds of billions in revenue, share price surges, dividends, and GDP boosts.

It’s the military-industrial complex on steroids...
9/ No mention of ethics. No global debate.

Just AI weapons, battlefield metrics, and a gold rush of defence profit.

Remember Metalhead from Black Mirror?
10/ When history looks back this might be remembered as the moment warfare turned fully digital, industrial, and dehumanised...

The West is gearing up for something...

🚨 If Iran closes the Strait of Hormuz, Western economies will be annihilated...

It doesn't matter what you do, you will feel it...

Here’s what happens next 🧵 Image
1/ Iran has now openly threatened to shut the Strait of Hormuz...

25% of the world's oil moves through this one chokepoint.

A top Iranian defence official announced it publicly.

Most people shrug this off… but it’s a massive mistake.

This one action could collapse the Western economy within months...
2/ Why?

Because up to 20 million barrels of oil per day flow through that strait.

Block it, and oil shoots to $150… $200… even $300 per barrel.

I’ve modelled the likely scenarios based on past crises, and it's grim...

🧵🚨 London MASS Power Outage Just Happened...

Lines suddenly suspended, People crammed into dark tunnels...

The official story seems like a cover up... Image
1/ Major lines down, London Underground in chaos.

Time of outage: 2:30 PM

Affected lines: Bakerloo, Waterloo, Jubilee, Northern, Elizabeth (to Heathrow), London Overground

Londoners left confused and frustrated, with no clear explanation from officials...
2/ The narrative? Extreme heat caused voltage dips, knocking out critical systems...

Officials say the outage is unrelated to last week's Heathrow substation issue...

Convenient, right? No one seems to know the real cause...

🧵🚨 The UK Just Gave Up Its Sovereignty to the US, The EU is in PANIC MODE, and China is on Alert...

The deal between the UK and US has left people in shock...

And what Trump slipped in at the last minute has huge implications... Image
Image
1/ Here’s the bombshell:

The US now has veto power over any Chinese investment in the UK.
Yes, you heard that right.

America can now block China from investing in British businesses.

That’s huge.
telegraph.co.uk/politics/2025/…
2/ I can’t believe it either.

Basically, the UK has just handed over its trade sovereignty to the US.

Critics are calling it a massive concession.

And it’s got a lot of people fuming.

🧵🚨 BREAKING: China Just Retaliated — But Is It Already Checkmate?

Everyone’s panicking, markets are glitching, and China just played their hand.

But here’s the truth the MSM won't admit: Trump still holds all the cards... Image
Image
1/ China hit back this week with an 84% tariff on U.S. imports.

A quick response to Trump’s move to place a 104% tariff on Chinese goods.

But it’s not just a tariff war anymore…

China also dumped $50B in U.S. treasuries.

And launched a digital currency platform that bypasses the dollar and SWIFT.
2/ But let’s look deeper.

Because this might actually be China’s last strong move on the board.

Here’s why Beijing is cornered—and why Trump’s strategy is smarter than it looks.

🚨 1/ The EU is planning to fund its €800 billion defence spending bill by tapping into your private savings accounts.

Yes, you read that right.

Here’s what’s happening and why you should be very, very concerned. 👇 Image
Image
🧵 2/ EU Leaders’ Statements:

Ursula von der Leyen (EU Commission President):

"We’ll turn private savings into much-needed investment."

They’re not being clear—does this mean dormant accounts? Large balances? Savings above a certain threshold? They won’t say.
🧵 3/ Bruno Le Maire (French Finance Minister):

"Mobilize all the savings of Europeans that are currently in European bank accounts... Do this now."

They're openly talking about pooling savings for government use. Not an appeal or request—an instruction.

🚨 Zelensky just pulled the biggest political stunt yet—right in front of Trump.

Why did he really come to the US?

Pay CLOSE attention to the details 🧵👇 Image
1/ On Friday, Zelensky met with Trump in what was supposed to be a signing of the US-Ukraine minerals deal.

A 50/50 split—Ukraine gets the money, the US does the work.

But what happened next blew everything up.
2/ Zelensky flipped the script, demanding US troops on the ground—on camera.

This was NOT part of the deal. Trump and Vance were furious.

Zelensky, knowing full well the US would need security to protect its mining interests, tried to force a public commitment.
