🇬🇧/🇺🇸 UK intelligence agencies have “significantly limited” information shared with the CIA since Trump’s election victory.

Some Western agents in Russia and Ukraine were reportedly extracted as a precaution.

Trump & Tulsi Gabbard’s stance on Five Eyes raises concerns. Reports suggest Gabbard’s appointment has alarmed U.S. intelligence agencies and allies.

WSJ suggests Trump may dissolve Five Eyes, viewing it as a tool for allies to leverage U.S. intelligence.

UK officials propose a “Four Eyes” alliance, excluding the U.S., but feasibility is unclear since the U.S. provides 80-90% of intelligence.

🇺🇸 The U.S. Secret Service shot an individual this morning outside of the White House, after having recently received a tip from local law enforcement about a “suicidal individual who may be travelling to Washington D.C. from Indiana.”

The incident occurred about a block from the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, when uniformed officers with the Secret Service approached the individual standing outside of his car, leading him to brandish a firearm which resulted in an armed confrontation where he was shot several times.

The individual, who was identified later as 27-year-old Andrew Dawson of Indiana, was rushed to a nearby hospital where his condition is still unknown.

🇮🇶🇮🇷 According to Iraqi government officials, Iraq right now is continuing to import natural gas from Iran despite the expiration today of an energy waiver provided by the United States, adding that they are working on alternative plans in case the gas supply is fully cut-off by Iran due to non-payment.

The Iraqi Ministry of Electricity states that they are attempting to obtain another 120-day or longer waiver from the United States, which would allow them to continue purchasing natural gas and other energy imports from Iran that they are dependent on, though they are prepared in case no extension is given; with it expected that the U.S. under the Trump Administration will not grant an extension, as U.S. President Trump has called for a “Campaign of Maximum Pressure” on the Islamic Republic of Iran.

📝🇪🇺 Philippe Lemoine on X:

Do you remember the headline about how the EU had agreed on a plan to spend 800 billion euros more on defense? A document that was published today by Von der Leyen's office (https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/sv/statement_25_673) explains how they arrived at that number.

First, they created a new instrument that will make available 150 billion euros in loans, which member states may or may not avail themselves of. Second, they decided that, if that's to increase defense spending, member states could invoke the national escape clause of the Stability and Growth Pact.

The Pact ordinarily commits member states to limit their deficit to 3% of the GDP. In theory, if they exceed that limit, they can be subject to penalties. With that decision, if they increase their deficit because they raised their defense spending, it won't count toward the 3% rule.

To illustrate the idea, the Commission explains that if member states increase their defense spending by 1.5 points of GDP (it's just a totally arbitrary example, they don't give any reason to think member states will do that and they sure as hell haven't committed to doing so), it will amount to 650 billion euros of extra defense spending.

Since 150 billion euros + 650 billion euros = 800 billion euros, that's apparently where the 800 billion figure comes from 🙃 I know it sounds like a joke but that really seems to be the explanation for the headline figure.

They say that, by exempting defense spending increases from the Stability and Growth Pact (frankly it's not even clear exactly how this will work, because it's not as obvious as it seems once you start thinking about it), they will create fiscal space.

Of course, that's complete nonsense, because fiscal space is not primarily determined by EU rules on the deficit (which many countries, such as France, have been systematically violated for 30 years), but by the market. There is no reason to think that member states will actually increase their defense spending by 650 billion euros.

Even the 150 billion euros in loans is nothing more than a possibility that is given to member states. There is no guarantee that it will actually be used and, even if they do use it, it will be counted in defense spending, so the other 650 billion euros would have to come on top of that.

Moreover, even if they do spend an extra 800 billion euros on defense (which to be clear has virtually zero chance of happening), this figure is apparently for a period of 4 years.

Since last year defense spending in the EU amounted to ~326 billion euros (https://consilium.europa.eu/en/policies/defence-numbers/), it would result in a ~60% increase, barely enough to raise the bloc's defense spending to the 3% that Macron and other European leaders mentioned, which in fact may be the reason why they chose a 1.5% of GDP increase — again it's purely ad hoc — to illustrate their decision on the national escape clause.

They mention a few other things, but they're even more vague and don't include any figures, not even bullshit figures like the 650 billion euros one. Once again, all the talk about how they see the war in Ukraine as "existential", the virtue signaling and the chest thumping is complete bullshit, nothing fundamental is going to change.

Fox News is wall to wall with dead-eyed politicians telling you that Iran is a dangerous “sponsor of terror.” Softening up the base for a war. But what exactly does that phrase mean, and how does it apply to the United States? Here’s one measure: over the past twenty years, how many Americans have been killed by Iran on American soil? Try to find that number, and then compare it to the number of Americans killed by drug ODs. Or suicide. Or illegal aliens. Or carjackings, diabetes and the Covid vax. Still think Iran is the greatest threat? How about we focus on our own country for a minute.

The technique involves using the drag caused by the Earth's atmosphere to change its orbit more efficiently while expending minimal fuel, Space Force said.

While in orbit, Mission 7 tested "space domain awareness technology experiments" that aim to improve the United States Space Force’s knowledge of the space environment, the agency said.

Expanding the Trump Afrikaner Policy By Supporting Self Determination In South Africa

Trump's EO "Addressing Egregious Actions of the Republic of South Africa," which withdrew support for the ANC led government and offered asylum to Afrikaners was a monumental step.

While there was an outpouring of gratitude from Afrikaners and South Africans, many Afrikaners made it clear they are intrinsically connected to their homeland. This position was explained by Ernst Roets in his recent interview with Tucker Carlson.

Mr. Roets calls for self-determination and decentralized institutions. The South African community of Orania is one example. If President Trump's administration is serious about curtailing the worst abuses of SA, this is worth supporting.

What could pro-self-determination policy look like in the US?
