#BREAKING: There is no evidence that proves COVID came from animals - Former head of the Chinese CDC. Surprised?

#BREAKING: China gets ready for ‘actual combat’ against Taiwan President Xi called for military training to be geared towards “actual combat", following 3 days of drills which involved encircling Taiwan as well as simulated precision strikes. Taiwan's foreign minister stated that China seems to be preparing for war. Biden says the US would respond ‘militarily’ if China attacked Taiwan. The US and the Philippines are holding their largest-ever joint military drills this week. The French President stated the EU should NOT get involved in any conflict in Taiwan while the German Foreign Minister warned that destabilization in Taiwan will have "devastating results for the global economy" Australia will for the first time develop nuclear-powered submarines and Japan will develop and build a vast array of advanced long-range missiles While I am confident the US and China will NOT be at war in my lifetime, I was VERY wrong about Russia prior to the invasion. Remember U.S. Air Force Gen. Minihan's memo that warned troops the US and China could be at war in 2025? Should we be worried?

What should we cover tomorrow?

#BREAKING: Twitter To Let Users Trade Stocks & Crypto @elonmusk begins the journey to X, expanding into Finance with Twitter's partnership with eToro Starting Thursday you'll be able to view market charts and buy/sell stocks, crypto and other assets. So 24 hours after destroying the BBC, announcing Twitter's record DAUs, and disclosing Twitter's improved financials, Musk announces one of Twitter's biggest deals in a very long time. What's next for X, the 'everything app'?

Elon Musk’s BBC Takedown Musk had an interview with the BBC, which was clearly planned as a weaponised attack on Musk but it failed miserably. @Elonmusk turned the tables and exposed the BBC. /1 (a thread) t.co/T03uiXtxz2

#BREAKING: Musk calls for NPR to be Defunded NPR sent @elonmusk an email essentially trying to pressure him into changing the ‘state-affiliated media' label on their Twitter account. Elon responded ‘Defund NPR’ Musk is taking a firm stance and will not kowtow to pressure. t.co/E4dBKDLkav

#BREAKING: NPR quits Twitter after @elonmusk labelled it 'state-affiliated media' They claim to be "the first major news organization to go silent" 🙄😂 Every news organization is releasing this story at once, many using the same language, making it seem like a coordinated attack on Twitter

Elon just crushed the BBC… t.co/bEzR2z24ao

#BREAKING: Trump implies the US either blew up or was involved in blowing up Nordstream? Tucker: "Who blew up the Nord Stream?" Trump: "I don't wanna get our country in trouble, so I won't answer it, but I can tell you who it wasn't: Russia." t.co/C3yaIAwLCi

Twitter spaces going a bit crazy today. Who to blame? In the meantime, below is my tweet of the day 😂 t.co/9VD3NrQ8Fy

#BREAKING: Pentagon Files ‘worst leak of secret documents since Edward Snowden’. New outlets confirmed their decision NOT to publish parts of the leaks for the sake of "national security" NOW I'm interested!!! t.co/CZJiK32Cav

Leaked #PentagonFiles Expose US Spying Highly classified docs give significant insight into US spying on allies as well as new revelations on the Ukraine war There are reports of 100s of leaked documents, setting the stage to significantly more damaging findings (LIVE thread) t.co/AnndUAWtOx

#BREAKING: Taiwan detects Chinese warships and aircrafts operating around them despite Beijing declaring an end to its war games yesterday. Taiwan's defence ministry said it had detected 9 Chinese warships and 26 aircrafts around the island as of 11am local time. "Although China's military exercise has come to an end, our military and national security team will continue to stick to their posts and defend the country.” - Taiwan’s President Yesterday the US sent a guided-missile destroyer through contested parts of the South China Sea. This all comes after France’s President ended a 6-hour meeting with Chinese President Xi, saying the EU should no longer follow the US on matters not concerning them, including Taiwan. Is China’s power, confidence and aggression growing? Will the US peacefully concede global influence?

#BREAKING: Twitter is Dead A filing at Southern District of Florida shows that Twitter Inc has merged with X Corp and now Twitter no longer exists. X Corp’s parent company is X Holding Corps. The new phase of Twitter will be X Corp. Is this the start of the everything app? t.co/vposdXKbGV

#BREAKING: A New Order in the Middle East away from the US and towards China? Iran just confirmed the reopening of their embassy and consulate in Saudi in preparation for a visit to the country in a few days. All this is thanks to China! The surprised CIA Director paid an unannounced visit to Saudi expressing frustration about their recent rapprochement with Iran Beijing last month hosted both countries where they agreed to resume diplomatic relations after a multi-year conflict. Iran and Saudi Arabia severed ties in 2016 after the Saudi Embassy in Tehran following the execution of a Saudi Shia cleric. This landmark agreement has the potential to transform the Middle East by realigning the 2 major powers, leading the region into China’s global ambitions and further away from the U.S. In 2015, Iran’s priority was improving relations with the US and EU. Today the focus is China, and the goal is to weaken US influence in the Middle East Not long ago, Biden urged Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE to join with Israel to contain Iran. But the Saudi government turned to China instead. Saudi satisfaction with US. policy in the region has been declining since the 2003 invasion of Iraq. The relations did not improve under Obama and Trump, and are not improving under Biden either. China had previously been careful to avoid entanglement in the Middle East. But to advance their strategic priorities, Beijing is now preparing to challenge Washington for influence in the Middle East. Will China’s breakthrough with Iran and Saudi serve as the foundation of a new geopolitical reality in the Middle East? How will the US react to this new multipolar reality?

Space crashed again 😔 But yet another great discussion! See you again tomorrow, possibly more #PentagonFiles leaks After this discussion, is your stance that Ukraine is losing or winning the war? Will NATO's support shift after what we saw in this week's leaks?

Watch this for 10 seconds and tell me if you still think China is far behind the US... t.co/rDudmf9Jbd

#PentagonFiles: The leaks from the Pentagon have been monumental, expected at over 100 documents! The first batch of intel states that Ukrainians killed in action outnumber Russians 4:1, significantly higher than the 50% more Russian casualties mentioned by Western officials and the media. Furthermore, Ukraine’s medium to high air defence is almost depleted. SA-10 and SA-11 make up 89% of Ukrainian air defence. They ran out of SA-11 on 31 March 2023 and they believe they they will run out of SA-10 on 02 May 2023. In brief, the Ukrainian military could be in a SIGNIFICANTLY worse position than NATO admits. Do the Pentagon Files show Russia with the upper hand? Have the documents been altered by the Russians?

#BREAKING: French President Macron wants Europe to reduce its dependency on the US and become an "autonomous third superpower.” This comes right after he spent 6 hours with Chinese President Xi Jinping. He is currently still in China despite the Chinese military exercises encircling Taiwan. According to Macron, Europe must resist pressure to become ‘America’s followers' and must avoid getting caught up in the China-US confrontation 'The great risk is getting caught up in crises that are not ours' China enthusiastically endorsed Macron’s concept of strategic autonomy, a term Chinese officials constantly refer to in their dealings with European countries. Macron goes further: "The worse thing would be to think that we Europeans must become followers on this topic and take our cue from the U.S. agenda and a Chinese overreaction" Is the US slowly loosing allies to China? Will NATO support Taiwan in case of an invasion? Things are not looking good...
