Special Economic Zones across the Mekong region are becoming little more than officially sanctioned criminal enclaves. In Laos, some of the most infamous of these SEZs exist. I went to a couple of them last month for Nikkei — they were extremely bleak places…
OK guys, we’ve had a good run but we know when we’re beaten. We held onto the title for 4 years, 4 months, and 20 days, but JD Vance & the Pituffik USAF base are now worthy holders of the saddest, most pathetic, cringiest press conference of all time.https://t.co/3ja0SvxIq6
This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.
This is one of the most sickening things any modern American administration has ever done. Whenever you think both sides are the same, just ask yourself why the Democrats never did this.
The soldiers raided my house today, they wanted to revenge from me for participating in the @BBC documentary “ the settlers” , after the army left the settlers raided my house, they injured one activist and cut the tree, they stole tools and the garbage containers. The Israeli…

SCOOP: We obtained video footage showing Israel attacked the convoy of aid workers in Gaza with a barrage of bullets, a paramedic frantically says his prayers of death. The ambulances had lights on & were marked refuting Israel's claim. w/ @ckoettl nytimes.com/2025/04/04/wor…
To illustrate just how nonsensically these tariffs were calculated, take the example of Lesotho, one of the poorest countries in Africa with just $2.4 billion in annual GDP, which is being struck with a 50% tariff rate under the Trump plan, the highest rate among all countries on…
Just figured out where these fake tariff rates come from. They didn't actually calculate tariff rates + non-tariff barriers, as they say they did. Instead, for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us. So we…
JD Vance now thinks Joe Biden was President in 2019….
Even for Trump this is bizarre. These are the messages, what is the Trump administration claiming is a hoax? Are they saying these are not detailed attack plans? Or are they claiming the screenshots are fake? I genuinely don't understand.
Leavitt: “If this story proves anything, it proves that Democrats and their propagandists in the mainstream media know how to fabricate, orchestrate, and disseminate a misinformation campaign quite well. And there’s arguably no one in the media who loves manufacturing and…
This trend of Democrats sinking into this new culture of crassness created by Trump should stop. Just be normal.
🚨WATCH: Rep. JASMINE CROCKETT calls Texas Governor Greg Abbott "Governor Hot Wheels." Abbott is paralyzed below the waist and has used a wheelchair for over 40 years.
It’s been a very tumultuous 24 hours but the most harrowing thing is that many of my colleagues at Radio Free Asia who risk their lives and have sat in prison for daring to report on authoritarian regimes are at grave risk. Please raise awareness: rfa.org/english/china/…
BREAKING: UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer just issued a stern warning to Trump, and even Nigel Farage, typically an opponent of Starmer, agrees! “The mineral deal is not enough on its own. But can I just remind [Trump]; Russia is the aggressor, Zelensky is a war leader whose…
Here is a recap of the Ukraine situation, for those choosing to reject propaganda and continue seeking truth: December 1994, Ukraine agrees to give up its nuclear arsenal in return for security guarantees from the US, UK, France, China and Russia. February 2014, Russia invades…
Utterly incompetent bunch of idiots running the White House right now
The White House just sent out this email approving me for today’s press conference with @realDonaldTrump and @Keir_Starmer. Something seems off. cc: @sinnfeinireland
This is more deranged than anyone could have possibly imagined
Complete batshit lunacy on the president's Truth Social account. Yes, he really posted this.
BBC: Are you ready to step down for peace? Zelensky: I am ready to step down for peace If no peace, I am happy to step down in exchange for NATO for Ukraine I am focused on security for Ukraine here and today and not staying in power for decades
BREAKING: President Zelensky just completely demolishes Trump's Kremlin propaganda that he's a dictator. He says: "If Peace for Ukraine Requires It, If You Need Me to Step Down—I'm Ready. I Can Trade It for NATO." All he wants is safety and security for the people of Ukraine.…
