— 🇦🇪/🇮🇱 NEW: The UAE denies that Neyanyahu visited Abu Dhabi in secret during the war against Iran
Which is interesting to say the least, because the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office confirmed the visit in an official statement on their X page.

🇺🇸🇨🇳⚡️- "I always believed that our two countries have more common interests than differences.
Success in one is an opportunity for the other, and a stable bilateral relationship is good for the world.
China and the United States both stand to gain from cooperation and lose from confrontation.
We should be partners, not rivals.
We should help each other succeed, and prosper together, and find the right way for major countries to get along well with each other in the new era." - Chinese President Xi Jinping.

🇺🇸🇨🇺⚡️- "In the case of Cuba, it's a very different situation, there is no economy in Cuba, to the extent there is no wealth in Cuba. Forget about it, it doesn't go to the people of Cuba, it doesn't even go to the government. The wealth is controlled by private companies, owned by military generals. They take all the money, they're sitting on billions of dollars. This is a country where people are literally eating garbage from the streets.
You cannot change the economic trajectory of Cuba, as long as the people who are in charge now are in charge of it. That's what's going to have to change.” - Marco Rubio, US Secretary of State.

🇺🇸🇨🇳⚡️- "Safeguarding peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait is the biggest common denominator between China and the United States, Chinese President Xi Jinping said on Thursday when holding talks with U.S. President Donald Trump in Beijing.
Noting that the Taiwan question is the most important issue in China-U.S. relations, Xi told Trump that if it is handled properly, the bilateral relationship will enjoy overall stability.
Otherwise, the two countries will have clashes and even conflicts, putting the entire relationship in great jeopardy, Xi said, emphasizing that 'Taiwan independence' and cross-Strait peace are as irreconcilable as fire and water" - Xinhua, Chinese State Media.

Taiwan will likely fall within 1 to 2 years. If one wishes to see Chinese culture as it was prior to the communist revolution, Taiwan is a place to visit.

🚨🇨🇳 Strait of Malacca: World's Next Flashpoint After Hormuz?
The Strait of Hormuz has dominated global headlines since late February 2026 — but a strategically more consequential move is taking shape in Southeast Asia — one that fits a recognizable pattern of US strategic encirclement of China.
On April 13, 2026, Washington signed a Major Defense Cooperation Partnership (MDCP) with Indonesia, covering military modernisation, joint training, and maritime defense technologies. The US is also seeking expanded access to Indonesian airspace — a request Jakarta says is still under "careful review." But the framework is already in place.
🔸Why Malacca Matters
🟠 75–80% of China's imported oil transits the strait daily
🟠 24% of all global seaborne trade flows through it
🟠 At its narrowest — the Phillips Channel — it is just 2.8 km wide
🟠 No adequate alternative exists: detours add 1,000–1,500 nautical miles or 10–15 extra days at sea
China's alternatives — the Myanmar pipeline (440,000 bpd vs. 11 million daily import needs), Central Asian pipelines (~10% of imports), the CPEC via Gwadar, and seasonal Arctic routes — fall drastically short.
The US doesn't need to fire a shot. Naval presence near the Phillips Channel and military access to Indonesian facilities creates economic coercion without direct conflict — the same logic applied at Hormuz.
Any disruption paralyses the entire Global South — India, Southeast Asia, and East Africa all depend on Malacca for food, fuel, and industrial imports. Singapore's 40 million containers and Malaysia's Port Klang would be effectively frozen.
Indonesia holds co-sovereignty over the strait alongside Malaysia and Singapore. But history shows that once US military infrastructure embeds itself in a region, the terms of sovereignty tend to shift.
Indonesia has so far maintained its traditional non-alignment posture, preserving strong economic ties with both China and Russia even as it formalises the MDCP with Washington. Its co-sovereignty over the strait — shared with Malaysia and Singapore — means it retains sovereign authority over how the waterway is used.

🇮🇱 💬 📢 🌏 Why are we so down on Politico, Bild, Axios and many other "respectable" MSM?
Mathias Döpfner, CEO of Axel Springer. This company owns Politico, German Bild, Welt, Business Insider, British Telegraph (the takeover is finalizing), and many other media across Europe and the world.
The same CEO a few weeks ago issued an ultimatum that journalists must align with the company's pro-Israel stance as a core condition of employment:
And as far as the market manipulation tool HoAxios... The Mossad agent's name is Rabbid Bark.
🐻 So yeah, we're really not into sionazi PR... Because we were traumatized by the cave rave scene in Matrix Reloaded, 23 years ago. That's the only reason. We're just irrational.

The accommodation was to be built right next to the hockey club for young girls!
The previous year, 17-year-old Lisa had been killed by an asylum seeker in Duivendrecht (5,300 inhabitants).
More than 3,000 residents (35%) signed a petition against the project. Nevertheless, a court approved the construction on the grounds that “humanitarian obligations” took precedence.
Residents then protested for three weeks, night after night. The government ignored them.
On the day of the move-in, the situation escalated:
The accommodation was set on fire by desperate locals, and demonstrators also blocked access to the fire brigade.
