🇺🇲 Biden asks Iran, through Switzerland, not to take retaliatory action against up coming American strikes in the Middle East. 🤡
🇺🇲🇮🇷⚡The United States is preparing for strikes in the Middle East. The strikes will be carried out in the next 24 hours. There is an increase in the activity of reconnaissance aircraft and tanker aircraft.
American media report that Iran, through Switzerland, received a message from the United States asking Washington not to take retaliatory action to American strikes.
📖 🇵🇸 🇮🇱 US, Israel believe up to 80% of Hamas tunnels intact after 114 days of war – report
🔶️ "After 114 days of fighting, as much as 80 percent of Hamas’s tunnel system beneath the Gaza Strip could still remain intact, The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday."
🔶️ “It’s a very hard mission. It’s done slowly, very carefully. It’s urban warfare unseen globally,” the official said."
🔶️ "Earlier this month it was reported that senior Israeli defense officials now assess that Hamas’s Gaza tunnel network is between 350 and 450 miles long, far longer than previously believed."
🇺🇸 🇪🇺 The brilliant American scam is actually just brilliant 👌
Step 1 - The US prohibits the EU from buying totalitarian gas from the Russian Federation. It is replaced by LNG from the USA at 300% price.
Step 2 - The US triples exports to the EU at exorbitant prices (see photo)
Step 3 - Without cheap resources, industry flees the EU to the USA. Mercedes, VAG and that's all.
Step 4 - The EU wants to scale up imports. That is, build more terminals and reduce the price of gas to bring back industry.
Step 5 - The US bans new LNG projects to “save the climate”. Thus, leaving the price high and volumes limited.
Simply brilliant, the EU is tightly tied to US gas. But it is expensive and only lasts for the most necessary things. Production is running low, and there is no light at the end of the tunnel - after all, new projects to reduce gas prices are prohibited by the United States itself.
🇺🇸 🇺🇸 Just a reminder that the US Capitol building defends itself with walls and razor wire... but Texas isn't allowed to do the same on the southern border.
🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇲🇽 West Virginia Governor Jim Justice on X:
🔶️ "We have a terrible crisis at the Southern Border."
🔶️ "The Biden Administration has turned every state into a border state. We must stop the flow of fentanyl, human trafficking, and criminal activity and secure our border."
🔶️ "We support Greg Abbott and the State of Texas."
🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇲🇽 Tennessee Governor Bill Lee on X:
🔶️ "The federal government’s failure to secure our nation’s southern border is jeopardizing the safety of all Americans. Tennessee has always stood with Texas, and we always will."
In Polish cities, almost half of married couples - the number of which is gradually decreasing - have no children
And in informal relationships - the number of which is growing rapidly - the majority are childless
Under 300 000 children were born in 2023. This is the lowest ever recorded.
🇺🇸 🇺🇸🗳️ How Greg Abbott's Border Fight Bolsters Calls for an Independent Texas
By any measure, Texan nationalists have had a busy couple of years. Most recently, a nearly 140,000-signature petition to consider an advisory referendum on Texas independence during the 2022 gubernatorial primary was denied by the state's GOP.
Notably, some prominent Texan Republicans have toyed with, if not outright endorsed, secession from the Union. Chip Roy for one said federal authorities either can't or won't "defend our borders from invasion" and asked out loud if secession was necessary.
🇺🇸🇺🇸 A historical note on how fast Superpowers can collapse
In early 1991, Soviet citizens voted on the New Union Treaty which proposed to reform-rather than dissolve-the USSR. 76% of Soviet voters ultimately supported maintaining the federal system of the Soviet Union, including a majority in nine of the 15 republics. A year later, however, the USSR didn’t exist.
In 2021, an astonishing 66% of Southern Republicans and 50% of independents were in favor of secession. The West Coast also showed strong support for secession but of a different political flavor, this time being mostly supported by Democrats.
In this sense, the U.S. is already in more of a precarious situation than the USSR was in early 1991…
