Smithy from Singapore

This morning, we woke up to news that 1. The US is blocking aid to Cuba & 11 million people are now starving 2. The US will withdraw critical medical aid to Zambia unless it gets mineral rights For those closer to the news in the US, is this true or just made up? There is so much rage bait every day

I just read an unverified report that was a week old, that China had sent TYPE-055 Destroyers towards Iran. Does anyone know if this is true or just a rage bait article?

Michael Wolff: Is it dementia or something else? What one of Donald Trump's closest political advisors revealed to me.

Late to the party, but Iherb and Doctor Oz? Goodness. Iherb is considerably cheaper here in Asia, delivered to the door (best by far for their supply chain), and without any competition. How do i navigate this?

Dear Bluesky, why am I suddenly getting sick and twisted posts in my discover tab? Has it merged with "X"?

In our local paper here in Singapore, the headlines include a brief article on the bewilderment/contradiction by Asian and EU leaders with what T is saying about their trade talks. We also heard the windmill diatribe as well. He is so badly mocked in Asia.

Hey America. Does anyone know what the democratic platform policies are? You know, the master plan that will provide clarity on economic, social, and political platforms going forward? Make it a public crusade, a sort of project 2025 for the souls who are not lost but maybe sitting on the fence.

In Asia this morning, we woke up to the news about the US bombing Iran. I stole this from a Facebook post ( I lost the post as I was copying this comment, sorry OP) I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones." - A. Einstein

Trump says “two weeks” like it’s a governing strategy. But the world’s grown-ups aren’t waiting anymore. #Canada’s set a deadline. Global capital is pulling back. The most dangerous phase of the Trump project has arrived #tariffs #immigration open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

Looks like Peter Dutton, the Australian liberal leader, not only has lost, but also lost his own seat. Still early there for results, but it seems like a disaster for the Liberals. So much for embracing the Donold's approach.

What's the current feeling on the Canadian election trend so far?. The rest of the world is watching.

There is a looter shooter game called Borderlsnds 3. The story is set around the attempted takeover of the universe by a cult that worships twins who call thenselves gods. They will die for their cult leader. The irony is that their leader literally feeds on the cult members as a source of food

Starting watching Escape from LA, a movie made in 1996. The start shows the 'moral police' rounding up violators, sending them to camps in LA. The moral police work for a proclaimed president for life. I think of my US friends and what lies ahead.

Do we have any leading medical researchers on here? Love to know how we are doing on the latest drug discoveries and treatments (without the "buy these pills from me to cure everything" trolls)

So I have only been on here for but a moment, but first impressions are good. Haven't been overwhelmed by porn, hate, conspiracy theories, or endless ads. I'm sure nothing is pure, of course, but so refreshing.
