1/5 Wild paradox:

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

1/6 Time for some introspection?

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

1/5 Trump’s three main options in Iran are all bad for him 🧵 2/5 How to unnecessarily corner yourself:

Trump is transforming pure military domination into a strategic failure because of bad planning and unclear strategic goals.

Trump's three main options in Iran are now all bad

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

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

1/5 The underrated threat:

We need to get serious about preparing for terrorists using FPV drones.

Recent wars have shown that even the world’s best armies struggle against them.

If modern militaries cannot easily stop them, local police forces are completely exposed 2/5 We are incredibly lucky that this has not yet become a common issue in our cities.

But make no mistake, it unfortunately will.

FPV drones are brutally efficient, incredibly cheap, and easy to use.

The barrier to entry for terrorists is terrifyingly low right now

1/5 The Russian Paradox:

Most people both underestimate and overestimate Russia.

The country is weaker and has far less potential than before the full-scale war began, yet it has become a far greater threat to Europe 2/5 The economy is in bad shape.

Reserves are nearly gone, and growth has stalled under high interest rates.

High oil prices help for now, but once the war in Iran ends, structural problems will remain.

Add a bad demographic situation, and Russia has eaten its future

1/8 Russian intelligence always finds a way to completely screw up.

They recently tried to build an untraceable new hit squad, but got caught because their top operatives literally typed their secret assassination plans into Google Translate 2/8 A new investigation by Insider and Der Spiegel reveals that Russia created a top-secret hit squad called Center 795, after earlier assassination units were exposed.

They embedded it inside the Kalashnikov arms company, hoping it would be untraceable

1/7 Remember when the 2024 Trump campaign was sold as the ultimate pro-peace ticket?

Tech oligarchs and political opportunists swore they would end America's wars.

Now they are the architects of a new war in Iran.

The hypocrisy is staggering 🧵 2/7 Look at the political roster.

JD Vance, Tulsi Gabbard, and Pete Hegseth spent years railing against regime change and foreign interventions.

Today, they are all sitting in the administration overseeing a devastating, open-ended conflict in the Middle East

1/6 This is a thread about the PayPal Mafia and its disturbing links to Jeffrey Epstein.

They want you to think they are visionary leaders, but the reality is much darker 2/6 The PayPal Mafia is a dangerous yet pathetic group of people.

Mostly made up of fascist foreign-born billionaires, they have used their wealth to become oligarchs.

They do not all get along today, but many of them share one horrific bond: Jeffrey Epstein

1/10 If the last few days of Iranian strikes on Dubai have proven anything, it’s that a massive number of people completely despise the city and those living there.

And honestly? There are very good reasons to despise them.

A thread on the city of hypocrites 🧵👇 2/10 Right now, the UAE is running a pathetic paid propaganda campaign.

They have enlisted some of the worst internet grifters, including Andrew Tate, to desperately pump out the message that "everything is under control" while the region is literally at war

1/11 Trump’s operation in Iran is not just reshaping the Middle East.

It is dramatically altering the geopolitical calculus for Ukraine.

For Kyiv, this new conflict is a massive double-edged sword.

Here is a breakdown of the very real upsides and downsides 🧵 2/11 Iran has been the lifeblood of Russia's terror campaign.

They supplies the Kremlin with thousands of shaheds.

Seeing a core pillar of this anti-Western axis dismantled directly hurts Putin's war machine.

When Tehran loses, Moscow loses

1/8 Today marks the start of the 5th year of Russia's failed full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

However, Putin will not stop until he reaches his strategic goals or faces massive pressure, and the West is pathetically failing to provide that pressure 2/8 Despite four years of grueling war, Russia controls less land today than it did just one month into the invasion.

They have not managed to capture and hold a single regional capital, and Putin is further from his strategic goals than before this war even began

1/9 Four years ago, Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Putin thought he would take Kyiv in days and turn Ukraine into a demilitarized satellite state.

Instead, the invasion turned into a pathetic strategic failure for Russia 2/9 Russia wanted to erase Ukraine from the map.

Four years later, the exact opposite is true.

Ukraine is more united, militarized, and globally integrated than ever before.

Moscow tried to break the Ukrainian identity but only forged it in steel

1/6 Two men are responsible for the war in Ukraine not ending:

Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump.

Russia started this fully unprovoked invasion and they are keeping it going.

Meanwhile Trump is doing nothing to pressure them 2/6 Ukraine has accepted all of Trump's ceasefire proposals while Russia has accepted zero.

Instead of negotiating, Putin has massively increased his strikes on Ukrainian civilians since the new US administration took office

1/6 Peter Thiel is the textbook Silicon Valley hypocrite.

He brands himself as a libertarian who hates the state but he built his fortune on government contracts.

Palantir is a taxpayer-funded spy machine that would not exist without the big government he claims to despise 2/6 The irony of his "anti-system" stance is staggering.

Thiel is a gay immigrant who built his empire in the heart of California liberalism.

He benefited from the very inclusive and open society he is now spending millions to dismantle and replace with a rigid hierarchy

1/9 The myth that "time is on Russia’s side" is finally hitting a wall.

Moscow is projecting an image of endless endurance, but the math under the surface tells a different story.

The Kremlin is trapped in a war it cannot win and a peace it cannot afford 🧵 2/9 In his Foreign Affairs article, “Ukraine’s War of Endurance” (February 16, 2026), Michael Kofman lays out the reality:

Time is not necessarily on Russia’s side

1/12 Peter Thiel is the Bond villain of the 21st century.

He is a powerful oligarch who operates in the shadows while pulling the strings of global politics.

He is potentially the most dangerous man in the world today.

What makes this Epstein-class oligarch so dangerous: 2/12 The hypocrisy is absolute.

Thiel is a gay, foreign-born billionaire who built his fortune from liberal California.

He benefited from every protection a democracy provides, yet he now spends his resources trying to dismantle that system for everyone else

1/7 Peter Thiel is the ultimate hypocrite.

He is a gay, foreign-born billionaire who built his fortune in liberal California.

He owns JD Vance and runs mass surveillance to fund a fascist movement aimed at destroying the very democracy that once allowed him to succeed 2/7 Thiel famously wrote that he no longer believes freedom and democracy are compatible.

This is the ideology of the man who owns JD Vance.

He does not want a better America.

He wants a corporate autocracy where the public is just a managed mob

1/12 EU regulation is like kryptonite to our enemies🧵 2/12 There is a reason why Putin, Musk, Trump, Vance, Thiel, and Xi all spend fortunes to attack Brussels.

They do not hate the EU because it fails.

They hate it because of its potential.

Our unity is their nightmare

1/11 The war is far from over, but Ukraine is still winning.

Here is how we can make sure that it defeats Russia 🧵 2/11 Russia’s 2022 invasion is a genocide.

They use genocidal rhetoric to justify erasing Ukraine's identity. They kidnap children and commit daily war crimes to punish civilians for simply refusing to be Russian.

This is a systematic attempt to destroy a nation
