Europe and the globalist cartels are not being underwritten by the US anymore. Time for them to eat theirvown dogfood.
South Korea should recognize that Japan has a very wise leader who understands Trump. South Korea should follow a similar path. No one else can save them from what China wants to do with them. For an idea, look at North Korea and Tibet.
No one needs to “love” or even “like” Trump; but he is winning. Best to be on that side.

And the hits keep on coming
In the early morning hours of May 6, Donald J. Trump woke up to another day of leisure and luxury at his residence inside the White House. He did not start the day focused on bringing costs down for the American people or determined to permanently end his war in Iran. But instead, by daydreaming about his palatial gold-plated ballroom.
The construction project, which is always top of mind for him, had entered a dangerous new phase. With the cost ballooning to nearly five times the price he originally stated, and the reality of his promise of “private funding” collapsing in front of him, Trump’s panic was setting in as he knew the time had come for the American people to know the truth.
He had no intentions of paying for it himself, and there was no other funding lined up. He knew that his only option was to convince the American people that using taxpayer money for it was somehow perfectly reasonable. And that even though the project would cost dramatically more than he originally claimed, it was still somehow “under budget.”
And at 7:32 AM, the President of the United States posted on Truth Social that “the original price was 200 Million Dollars, the double sized, highest quality completed project will be something less than 400 Million Dollars. It will be magnificent, safe, and secure!” before adding that “the Fake News” will try “to make it look like there was a cost overrun. Actually, it is coming in ahead of schedule, and under budget!”
He actually used the words “under budget.” That’s what he said about a project that started at $200 million, climbed to $250 million, then $300 million, then $400 million, and now, as of this week, carries a $1 billion taxpayer-funded “security upgrades” request hidden deep inside a Senate reconciliation bill by Republicans. A project he promised, over and over again, would never cost the public a single dime of taxpayer money. https://heatherdelaneyreese.substack.com/p/trumps-billion-dollar-ballroom-scam

Despite the anti-Trump/anti-American media huffing and puffing about global oil prices and Iranian quagmires, things are working out quite well.
American oil companies are making record profits. That a good place to start in evaluating everything.
America is successfully blockading Iran which appears to be having an effect on their economy. Secret CIA reports leaked through anti-American news outlets probably aren’t worth much but even those claim Iran can only hold out for a few more weeks… against an enemy that will make war for decades.
So far, it looks like at least 6 Iranian tankers trying to run the blockade have been captured or taken out by Guns Guns Guns.
I don’t know the privateer policy but I have wanted an oil tanker since Waterworld. Maybe it’s time to get the boys back together for one last job.
The next Big Fear is the higher expense in shipping and reduced fertilizer will cause a global food shortage.
Frightening.
But after looking closely, I realized:
– America is full of fat fùcks and higher food prices/shortage would be a good thing
– the places with real famine potential are overpopulated shìtholes overpopulated by various shìtheads
So once again, the media claims something is bad when it is really good.
I think I have a solution that works for everyone… so this war can end and Americans can go home.
Fully destroy all of Iran’s oil and port infrastructure and let them do the same to the Arabs across the Strait.
Then, the Straits of Hormuz is no longer an issue. Perhaps some maintenance bombing once a year to stop any rebuilding.
America can get its food and fertilizer exports up to speed quickly to keep the Eurotards and whatever remains of the 3rd world alive.
Reduce military expenditures, increase industry, reduce the debt, fewer illegal immigrants… no downside here.

*Russian casualties*. According to Ukraine’s General Staff, Russian forces have sustained roughly 1.34 million casualties—killed or wounded—since February 2022. That’s a staggering figure, but the recent numbers are even worse. President Zelenskyy reported in March that Russia had lost nearly 100,000 soldiers in just the first three months of 2026—roughly 33,000 per month—with 90 percent of those casualties attributed to Ukrainian drones. Ukraine’s commander-in-chief, General Oleksandr Syrskyi, put the ratio at roughly six Russian losses for every Ukrainian one. As Euromaidan Press reported in early May, Russia is now losing soldiers faster than it can replace them for the fifth consecutive month.
*The Russian economy*. The Moscow Times reports that Russian GDP growth has slowed to around one percent, down from above four percent just two years ago, a figure initially fueled by war spending. Recession is now a realistic possibility. The Bank of Finland’s economic bulletin found that Russia’s sovereign wealth fund, the financial cushion built up over decades of oil revenues, has lost more than half its value since the invasion began. Taxes are increasing, social spending is falling, and Russia’s central bank is warning of a severe labor shortage. Putin himself publicly admitted that Russia’s GDP shrank in the first two months of 2026.
*Russia’s oil woes*. Russia Matters publishes a war report card, and last week it documented that Ukrainian drone strikes have forced roughly 40 percent of Russia’s oil export capacity offline. According to Bloomberg, in early 2026 Ukrainian forces hit the Baltic export terminals at Ust-Luga and Primorsk five times in ten days, cutting oil flows to just a third of normal and costing Russia more than a billion dollars in a single week. The New York Times assessed that the campaign has damaged or destroyed approximately 20 percent of Russia’s total refining capacity since 2024.
**This isn’t 20th century warfare
How could all this be happening at once? There are several contributing factors, but one overarching theme emerges from military analysts covering the war. Russia has been fighting a 20th-century war, but Ukraine is waging a 21st-century one.
Michael Kofman, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and expert on the Russian military, has argued that the conventional metrics of battlefield success obscure what’s really happening. Kofman wrote that “territory changing hands is a lagging indicator for what’s happening” inside the two forces—and that “gradually then suddenly” transitions are possible as a result. And what is happening inside Russia’s forces is apparently a slow-motion collapse.
When Putin first ordered the invasion, Russian military doctrine rested on a familiar model: mass, hierarchy and firepower. He sent in columns of tanks. The command structure was centralized. Industrial-scale logistics flowed through a controlled supply chain.
Putin and his generals might be forgiven for thinking this was the way to go. After all, it was the doctrine that won World War II and that crushed Chechnya. The assumption was that Ukraine—outgunned, outnumbered and facing the second-largest military in the world—would fold in days.
Ukraine’s response, as the Center for European Policy Analysis documented in a recent report, was something Russia’s top-down system did not anticipate: a wartime “innovation culture” comprising small Ukrainian companies, front-line engineers, small military units and private developers. Together, following that initial shock, they began collaborating to produce a wartime loop of design, battlefield test and rapid iteration. Through this system, Ukraine weaponized commercial technology into military systems faster than traditional defense procurement cycles could.
The numbers are extraordinary. CEPA reports that Ukraine is now producing roughly eight million first-person view (FPV) drones per year. These are small, unmanned, cheap and agile single-use aircraft that have effectively replaced artillery as the dominant tool of the battlefield. Zelenskyy’s data showed Ukrainian drones hitting 33,000 Russian troops in December 2025 alone, up from 16,000 in July. Importantly, and to the consternation of Russia’s military planners, that monthly toll rose every single month through the second half of 2025. https://statuskuo.substack.com/p/is-russia-finally-using-its-war-of

Now let me backup and explain WHY this is happening, because the why is even funnier than the bloody what. 3 months ago, this same haunted apricot in the elevator shoes was carrying on like a pork chop, threatening to slap a 50 percent tariff on China because he reckoned Beijing was sneaking air defence systems to Iran. He pulled the threat. Said he received “written assurances” from Xi and skipped off whistling like a kid who just got away with stealing the biscuit tin. Then a fortnight later he claimed the US Navy had intercepted a Chinese vessel carrying a “gift” for Iran. Didn’t elaborate. Didn’t follow up. Quietly let it die in a ditch like every other promise that mongrel has ever made.
This is the TACO framework in full bloom. Trump Always Chickens Out. The bloke threatens, postures, posts in all caps, then folds like a cheap deck chair the second someone with actual leverage stares the prick down. Xi knows it. The CCP knows it. Half the diplomatic corps of Europe knows it. The only ratbags who haven’t worked it out yet are the MAGA hordes still telling each other on Truth Social that he’s playing 4D chess. The entire Politburo Standing Committee is probably gathered in a back room passing photos of Trump grinning on that red carpet, laughing so hard they’re spilling tea on their pressed suits.
Why’s he really there? Because his Iran adventure has turned into a strategic colonoscopy and the world’s holding the fucking camera. The Strait of Hormuz is shut. 20 percent of the world’s oil used to flow through that chokepoint. Now it’s closed. Tankers stranded. Petrol prices have ripped global markets a new arsehole. American inflation is up, his approval ratings are down, and the war he started arm-in-arm with Bibi Netanyahu is on what his own aides are calling “massive life support.” He came to Beijing because he needs Xi to lean on Tehran. He just won’t admit it. https://ifloz.substack.com/p/trump-lands-in-beijing-on-his-knees
“James, you do realize that its only humor if it is true, right? Right?”
What part of that isn’t true? It’s been 1 1/2 years and he’s still trying to blame Obama and Biden for the mess he’s created. I get the trailer trash believing it, but what’s your excuse?
“What part of that isn’t true? It’s been 1 1/2 years and he’s still trying to blame Obama and Biden”
What is he blaming Obama and Biden for that they are not to blame?
– inflation: peaked under Biden at 9%, caused in great part by Biden’s covid policies which are not easy to mitigate, especially when the Biden-Obama party sabotages any possible Trump win even if it means an American loss
– border and illegals: Biden reversed prior Trump policy and let in a record number that is now being cleaned up but it is not easy, especially when the Biden-Obama party sabotages enforcement through interference and lawsuits
– Afghan withdrawal: Biden armed and financed the Taliban after a chaotic rout
– Ukraine war: it did happen under Biden instead of Trump’s first term… but the real problem is that Biden got involved and cost America a lot of money even though the result will eventually be the same
– the Iran deal: that was a sell-out of American security and leverage by Obama who just wanted flashy headlines more than concrete results
– Obama’s weaponization of the federal government – this has set a horrible precedent which Trump tried to downplay in his first term but then got it used against him again in his second term by Biden so now he has joined the trend, much to the long-term disadvantage of America… as this has been normalized and will continue
OK. You sold me. Obama and Biden ARE to blame.

When China takes them, America will clutch its pearls and throw sanctions on the warmongering invaders of a peaceful island nation.
