This war is economic, ideological and strategic.
The Trump–Xi summit isn’t about diplomacy, it’s a clash of worldviews. Trump’s goal is to stop American money from fueling China’s rise and shift the global balance back toward the U.S.
With tariffs, pressure on Iran’s oil lifeline to Beijing, and limits on tech transfers, the message is clear: peace through strength, and no more financing America’s top competitor.

Israel has been accused of “genocide,” “apartheid,” and colonialism for decades. Federal Judge @RoykAltman breaks down the evidence, the law, and why he says every major charge against the Jewish state collapses under scrutiny.

The idea that Israel survives because of American aid is one of the dumbest geopolitical myths online.
People like Tucker Carlson talk about Israel like it’s some helpless dependency project. It isn’t. Israel is a sovereign military power that existed before US aid (aka US defense procurement) and will continue existing without it.
The US, however, would be worse off in terms of defense contracts, competition (Israel would now be free to buy and sell and domestically produce anything), and the elite intelligence Israel provides that saves American lives.

The IDF says it conducted overnight airstrikes in southern Lebanon targeting the Hezbollah rocket launcher used in last night’s attack on the Kiryat Shmona area.
According to the military, the launcher, located in the town of Zebdine, was destroyed along with several nearby sites allegedly used by Hezbollah for military operations.
Here’s what the media may be missing: Trump’s strategy likely isn’t about asking China to stabilize the Middle East, it’s about pressuring Beijing to stop destabilizing it. Rather than relying on China to contain Iran, the approach appears aimed at cutting off the financial, technological and diplomatic lifelines that keep Tehran afloat.
From oil purchases to infrastructure and political cover, China has played a key role in sustaining Iran’s regime. The real question isn’t whether Washington will lean on Beijing for help, it’s whether it can compel Beijing to stop propping Iran up in the first place.

“How come Jews make up less than 1% of Canada’s population yet suffer 70% of its religious hate crimes?” the Israeli Foreign Ministry asked Tuesday in a tweet. “And while the incidents keep adding up, the incitement continues.”
Yom Yerushalayim, which begins at sundown tonight in Israel, commemorates the reunification of Jerusalem in 1967, when Israel regained the Old City and restored Jewish access to the Western Wall after nearly two decades of exclusion under Jordanian rule.
The day symbolizes the Jewish people’s ancient connection to Jerusalem and the restoration of Jewish sovereignty in their historic capital.
The White House says U.S. and China found common ground on one of the world’s most sensitive security issues: Iran’s nuclear program.
Following talks between Trump and Xi Jinping, both sides reportedly agreed that Tehran must never obtain nuclear weapons. The discussions also included concerns over the Strait of Hormuz and global energy flows.

A young Iranian woman was shot in the eye by the Islamic Republic for protesting tyranny. Now, in Germany, a “Free Palestine” activist screamed at her: “You deserve to be blinded.”
That tells you everything you need to know about this movement. It was never about human rights.
The courage of Iranian women like @kosareftekharii puts these hateful mobs to shame, that’s why she’s my hero of the week on #TheQuad

Far from broken, the regime in Iran is running a coordinated campaign to project normalcy at home, fracture pressure abroad, and buy time to rebuild, I argued in my latest for @jns_org
