Furious world leaders are doing what Donald Trump feared as Donald Trump rema...

indecisive, weak and pathetic, and he says he's going to continue the naval blockade in

the straight of her moves but not take any other action.

World leaders are like enough of this. We are making bilateral deals with Iran, and if Donald Trump continues to betray us, the way he is, as Thailand has decided, we're going to make deals directly with American adversaries. And we're going to no longer consider ourselves traditional long-term allies of the United

States. Of course, you're seeing in Canada the F-35 review and a review of other American military weapon procurement, of course in Europe. We're seeing the various countries there, build up their militaries and move away from the United States.

America first means America alone and we're seeing strategies pay off, for example, Japan

cutting a direct deal with Iran in order to move through the straight of her moves and to bring crude oil to Japan and apparently a Japanese aligned tanker, I believe, was Panamanian flag was able to transit through the straight of her moves and make it out. Did you see what happened yesterday? This is big news, folks, and again, it shows that Japan negotiating on a bilateral basis

directly with Iran and they're saying, you know, whatever, your blockade doesn't matter Donald. We're doing what we got to do.

And I think that's what we're going to see more countries do.

I mean, we heard French President Emmanuel Macron say he's going to be speaking directly with a possession scheme, the president of Iran, we're going to be seeing a lot more of this as Trump just does nothing and hopes like a miracle. It's all going to go away.

So this Japanese-linked super tanker carrying roughly two million barrels of Saudi crude oil,

transiting through the straight of her moves outbound. Bloomberg's Javier Bloss was the first to report. The vessel is following Iran's newly designated shipping lanes. The move is being watched as a potential diplomatic signal drop site explains. As it would represent Iran allowing passage of Gulf oil, despite the U.S. naval blockade

on Iran's ports, as Javier Bloss from Bloomberg writes, interesting movement in the straight of Hormuz, a super tanker linked to Japan is entering the straight of Hormuz on her way out of the Persian Gulf. It's called the Adimitsu. And it's following the Iranian-New shipping lane that goes right by the Iranian coast.

So these lot of revolutionary guard can control it.

It was carrying over two million barrels of Saudi oil.

And if you want to know, was this negotiated with Iran?

All signals are, it absolutely was, because Iranian foreign minister, Iraq, she reposted this, not so cryptic message from the Iran in Japan embassy account, you know how Iran has all of those embassy accounts that make those social media posts often trolling the Trump regime, Iran in Japan posted the historic 1953 mission of the Nishumaro, owned by Adimitsu Khosan, to transport Iranian oil to Japan stands as a testament to the longstanding

friendship between the two countries. The legacy continues to hold great significance. So by talking about this 1953 mission at the same time, the Adimitsu was making this trip. They're basically saying, this is what you got to do, negotiate with us directly, come up with a bilateral deal.

The U.S. under the Trump regime is worthless at this point and will cut bilateral deals. Just kick out the United States from all of this. You don't need them and they are a barrier and a liability. Jeffrey J. Hall from Japan, right? The Iranian government has made it quite clear that the Adimitsu super tanker that passed

through the straight of Hormuz did so with their permission. The embassy shared a post celebrating how the Adimitsu ran a British blockade in 1953. They're saying, just like you ran the British blockade in 1953, here you are in 2026 running the U.S. blockade. And so it seems like a bilateral negotiation.

There I mentioned at the outset, Thailand, as the Washington Post reports, the Trump regime had not offered any direct help to Thailand, a longstanding U.S. treaty ally, as it struggles with wide-ranging economic damage from the American Israeli war against Iran.

Iran's foreign minister told the Washington Post, and what Thailand announced...

going to Russia.

Can we're going to China for help right now?

Screw you, Trump regime. You screwed us over. We're suffering right now. We're getting help now from Russia and China. See you later, the United States, Thai, foreign minister, our Thailand's foreign minister,

told the Washington Post, Thailand is approaching Russia and China for economic assistance after receiving no help from the United States, even though the country has been a U.S. treaty ally since 1954.

This war should never have taken place far in minister of Thailand.

Says Thailand is among the hardest hit Asian economies from the straight of her moves closure. The country relies on gas for 66% of its electricity, with LNG, liquefy natural gas accounting for 27% of its gas supply. 28% of which previously transit of the straight, the cost of sourcing a spot LNG cargo has surged an estimated 125% since the conflict began with prices jumping from $11 to $23.50

per million BTU compounded by a 5.3% depreciation of the Thai bot, according to the Institute for Energy Economic and Financial Analysis. So I can go country by country with all of this at the same time. You have President Claudia Scheinbaum of Mexico and she's done her best to try to appease

Donald Trump and what did she get?

Donald Trump running secret military operations in Mexico.

Donald Trump putting CIA agents in Mexico, which was recently uncovered when two CIA agents who were working covertly with other Mexican officials in President Claudia Scheinbaum, didn't know about this. Apparently, we're killed during a drug-related operation, purportedly, and it was uncovered that there's like American military and CIA, significant presence in Mexico, and significant

breach of Mexican sovereignty. And Scheinbaum, who previously was standing up to Donald Trump, early on, remember in the beginning of the Trump regime, she pulled back, and now she's under a lot of fire.

If you can't let this maniac war criminal engage in this behavior.

So she's under a lot of pressure right now, and she's calling out the Trump regime's threats. Another notable event that took place, but obviously we've been covering King Charles Trip, King Charles speaking in front of a joint session of Congress, calling out the importance of NATO, calling out the importance of supporting Ukraine, calling out the

importance of America speaking with moral clarity, and clearly stating or applying that Donald Trump is wrecked the word and trust in the United States, I mean, King Charles didn't use those specific words, but it was obvious what he was referencing right at the same time. King Charles was there.

You all know by now that Sir Christian Turner, the UK ambassador to the United States, who replaced Peter Mandelson, who was removed because of his Epstein connections, he was on a hot mic back in February, where he said the US actually doesn't have a special relationship with anyone other than Israel, and we should stop talking about special relationships between the United States and the UK, because that doesn't exist at all, and he also

said that it's extraordinary that Trump and people in his regime have not had to have any accountability, really, in the United States for their affiliations with Epstein. When in the UK, you had Peter Mandelson and all these people who were held accountable and were still being held accountable, and Pierre Starmer will see what happens in August, but Pierre Starmer's may not be the prime minister by the end of the summer, based on a lot

of the pressure stemming from the Epstein files and Trump's, the leader of the Epstein class, and so in the UK, they're ambassador to the United States as they into himself, and he said to a bunch of students back in February and audio from that was released right now,

like, wow, what the hell is going on in the United States?

So we know all about that. Here's something most people aren't told about their credit score. It's not just whether you pay your credit cards. It's when you pay them. Yeah, most people don't realize that. I know I didn't, but smart credits data experts understand how credit bureaus operate. So they created something called the best pay-down date, built around how credit reporting actually works. So instead of guessing, you get a personalized strategy

that shows you what to do and what to do it to help you maximize your score. And that matters because better credit can mean lower payments and more money in your pocket. And this is where it gets interesting. You can see your full credit picture in one place, your score, what's affecting it. And if something needs attention, you can take care of it right there. So before you apply

For anything, a car, apartment, refinance, it makes sense to start with smart...

smartcredit.com/mitis and try it for just $1. You may be surprised to see how many points smart credit estimates you can gain. That's smartcredit.com/mitis results vary cancel anytime. But thinking about what King Charles was saying about Ukraine, you know, the trend, thinking about what Christian Turner was saying about the US special relationship with Israel and Netanyahu.

And that's it. I think about what Europe has done also in the past 24 hours. Did you hear this?

Finally, I mean, Europe's growing a bit of a backbone when it comes to calling out Israel and

condemning Netanyahu. I mean, obviously, we know Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez of Spain has been, we know French President Emmanuel Macron has spoken out against the atrocities in Ghana, the genocide in Gaza. And Lebanon, we know Macron has called it out also. But a lot of European leaders really haven't gone all that far. But, you know, you have European leaders now threatening to sanction Israel because Israel is bringing in stolen Ukrainian grain to Haifa. You have Netanyahu

working shoulder to shoulder with Vladimir Putin to steal Ukrainian grain. And then to ship Ukrainian grain into Israel with a Netanyahu Putin alliance. Zelensky called it out. I mean, just think about

Zelensky powerful now, feeling, you know what, UK is a superpower when it comes to its weapons

right now. And its forces and its ability to fight a modern warfare where Ukraine, thankfully, is calling out Netanyahu and the Trump regimes, connections right there, stealing Ukrainian grain.

Right, here's what Zelensky posted. In any normal country, purchasing stolen goods is an act

that entails legal liability. This applies in particular to grain stolen by Russia. Another vessel carrying such grain has arrived at a port in Israel and is preparing to unload. This is not and cannot be legitimate business. The Israeli authorities cannot be unaware of which ships are arriving at the country's ports and what cargo they are carrying Zelensky rights. Russia is systematically seizing grain on temporarily occupied Ukrainian land and organizing its

exports through individuals linked to the occupiers. Such schemes violate the laws of the state of Israel itself. Ukraine has taken all necessary steps through diplomatic channels to prevent such incidents. However, we see that yet another such vessel has not been stopped. I have instructed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine to inform all partners of our state about the situation. Based on information from our intelligence services, Ukraine is preparing a relevant sanctions

package that will cover both those directly transporting this grain and the individuals and legal entities attempting to profit from this criminal scheme. We will also coordinate with European partners to ensure that relevant individuals are included in European sanctions regime. Ukraine counts on partnerships and mutual respect with every state. We are genuinely working to enhance security, particularly in the Middle East region. We expect that the Israeli authorities

will respect Ukraine and refrain from actions that undermine our bilateral relations. Thank you,

calling out Netanyahu and Zelensky's doing it more powerful right now in that than I've seen lots of other

people do it so far. As drop site explains, now the European Union, listening to Zelensky threatening to sanction Israel over stolen Ukrainian grain, the European Union is worn Israel. It's ready to impose sanctions over its role in facilitating trade in Ukrainian grain stolen by Russia after a Panama flag vessel carrying over 25,000 tons of wheat and barley docked at

hypha. Euro news reports. Other updates as well that I think are worth noting. The United

Arab Emirates quitting OPEC, dealing a major blow to the Saudi-led OPEC cartel. The United Arab Emirates announced on Tuesday it's withdrawn from OPEC and what the UAE minister writes. The UAE's decision to exit from OPEC reflects a policy-driven evolution aligned with long-term market fundamentals. We thank OPEC and its member countries for a decades of constructive cooperation. We remain committed to an energy security providing reliable, responsible and low

carbon supply while supporting stable global markets. They're utilizing this time while the straightive horror moves as closed to get out of OPEC and you just see massive instability throughout

The world right now.

would do a missile test, it would be a front-page story because Republicans would try to attack

Obama and say, "Look how weak you are. You're letting Kim Jong-un do missile tests whether they're

ballistic or cruise missiles." That's so weak. You have to do more Obama. Remember that?

Well, under Donald Trump, Kim Jong-un was allowed to get nuclear weapons. Donald Trump visited North Korea. Remember he talked about the love letters with Kim Jong-un. Yes, Donald Trump got

totally played. Kim Jong-un has nuclear weapons in every single day. Kim Jong-un is out there

bragging about the relationship with Russia like he just gave a speech yesterday praising North Korean soldiers who died by suicide when they were captured fighting alongside the Russians against Ukraine.

Every day he's out there bragging about his nuclear weapons, bragging about the ballistic missile

and cruise missile tests that he's doing. With all of these developments going on as well, we now learn that the acting U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, who was put in that position by the Trump regime Julie Davis. She's a career person to be fair, but she was put in this position after the last person was forced out by the Trump regime. Julie Davis has expected to step down soon as the ambassador to Ukraine after Donald Trump's consistent attacks on Ukraine. Donald Trump

inviting Putin to the G20. And as I mentioned with all of this going on, one of the things one of the big moves that Donald Trump is doing now or I should say is not doing is the following. Donald Trump is instructing his aids to prepare for an extended blockade of Iran to Donald Trump says will compel nuclear capitulation. Trump says that he's not it doesn't want to go to war again and he doesn't want to make a deal with Iran. So he's just going to keep an indefinite naval

blockade. And just see what happens. See what happens. Keep oil prices. $10610 a barrel. Just keep an indefinite naval blockade. And this is what Trump does. It's what I predicted from the outset, right? Now we're in May, right? And we started this thing. Trump started this invasion with Netanyahu back in February, late February. Here we are in May. Just like COVID, like a miracle. It's all going to go away. Just going to keep the naval blockade. Wait for

catastrophe to strike. And when he's waiting for is who's he going to blame? Who's he going to blame for all of this? And you know, he's a weak pathetic individual. And we see the world saying,

bye bye, Don. See you later. See you later. Don't you see it happening before you're very eyes?
