❗️Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi:
This recent war showed that foreign forces and foreign bases not only could not bring security but instead turned into security disruptors.
Countries without U.S. military bases suffered less damage, while foreign bases were unable to defend even their own interests against attacks.

❗️Trump:
Earlier this month, India’s Chief Election Commissioner, Gyanesh Kumar, asked our Administration — How can you have Elections in the U.S. without a valid Photo ID?
India’s last Election had 646,000,000 Voters! Less than 1% voted by mail, and every single Voter had to have a VALID Photo Identity Document.
We need to pass THE SAVE AMERICA ACT, now!

❗️The U.S. and South Korea have shortened the Ulchi Freedom Shield military drills, cutting the exercise nearly in half by reducing live-fire training and replacing some activities with simulations.
The move follows Trump's call to scale back the drills, saying they send an unnecessarily hostile message to North Korea.
@AussieCossack
❗️Trump:
I have paused the 50% Tariffs against Canada, that were scheduled to kick in tomorrow morning for a three day period, based on the fact that Canada and the U.S.A., subject to the finalization of documents, have a DEAL! The great Keystone XL Pipeline, long ago killed by Sleepy Joe Biden, may be awoken from the grave!

❗️Pro-Ukrainian source admits that out of 500+ Ukrainian NATO supplied drones launched at Moscow today EVERY single drone was shot down by Russian air defense.
Russia undoubtedly has the strongest, most experienced air defense in the world.
PS. AMK Mapping is often threatened by Ukrainians because his "reporting" is too pro-Russian. AMK mapping maintains he is just reporting facts without any bias.
@AussieCossack
❗️Trump:
There are no talks or conversations going on, or scheduled, with the Islamic Republic of Iran. The Naval Blockade remains in full force and effect. The Hormuz Strait is open and operating. All water mines have been removed or detonated.
@AussieCossack
❗️Russia warned Britain on Tuesday it would face consequences for supplying drones to Ukraine that are being used to strike targets inside Russian territory, the Russian Embassy in London said.
London's actions will inevitably carry consequences for which it will have to answer. The deeper its involvement in the conflict and the greater its support for Kiev's terrorist machinery, the higher the price it will pay.

❗️Tehran has abandoned its defensive approach and is now preparing for a more aggressive course if negotiations with Washington fail, a senior Iranian official told Reuters.
According to the official, the U.S. has only a few weeks to put the proposed peace deal into action. If that does not happen, Iran says all of its institutions are ready to intensify pressure in the Strait of Hormuz and elsewhere in the region, insisting it will not accept an open-ended U.S. naval blockade.
@AussieCossack
❗️Historically, Japan has made many aggressive attempts at land grabbing more territory for itself.
PS. This whole debacle is perfect for Russia and her staunch regional allies China and North Korea who also together with Russia fought Japanese military aggression for hundreds of years as can see in these historical maps from the region.
