Hundreds of Chinese vessels were loitering in Philippines' EEZ.
And this is not acceptable at all.
Today there are illegal vessels, tomorrow there will be a full-fledged military if no action is taken. @ChongJaIan @leisbeth_recto

Americans after paying $300 billion to Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz which was never closed
Jun 14
BREAKING: Iran says the US has agreed to pay $300 billion in reconstruction funds directly to Iran as part of the deal Pakistan announced, alongside the release of $24 billion in frozen funds with $12 billion released before negotiations even start, per Mehr News.
This directly contradicts Trump's & Vance's claim that no funds will be transferred to Iran at all.
If Trump denies this is true, there never was a deal. If Trump confirms, the US has fully capitulated to Iran's demands.

The Japanese have such honor baked into the fabric of their culture.

Imagine boarding a flight from Japan to Texas for the World Cup. Your team grinds out a 2-2 thriller. Then, while everyone else heads for the exits, you and thousands of fellow supporters grab trash bags and leave the 80,000-seat stadium cleaner than you found it.
No prompts. No cameras chasing clout. Just quiet, undeniable respect.
That’s the Japanese fans. 🙏🏻🇯🇵

Republicans are in charge because we promised:
to Make America Healthy Again.
to start No New Wars,
to put people above corporations,
to put America above foreign countries,
to release the Epstein files,
to not spy on citizens,
to eliminate fraud,
what the hell happened?!

In the last few days:
- A US researcher critical of Myanmar's Junta was arrested in China
- A US businessman/intermediary was arrested in Yangon
- A US Diplomat in Yangon was murdered
If this doesn't force Washington to reconsider its incremental normalisation of Burma's terroristic regime...

Well done Sir @Jeremy_Hunt for initiating a Burma/Myanmar debate.
x.com/zoyaphan/status/206499…
Thank you @Jeremy_Hunt for your support and for securing a parliamentary debate on human rights in Burma/Myanmar. Hope the government will listen and do more to impose new sanctions on the Burmese military and limit their ability to attack us.
