There’s this post on reddit by the RevolutionTT admin from 1 month ago. The admin says they sent out mass emails to old users. Reddit users are saying that this is a scheme to bait for money donations.
A couple days ago, DPRK showed Kim Jong Un touring a missile production factory. Probably related to the missiles being tested.

None of the deal makes any sense to me. He didn’t removed the 10% tariff on UK imports. He just told the UK that they should buy more US cars and US beef, but US beef doesn’t meet UK health standards and US cars are too big for UK roads.
US citizens are paying higher taxes on imports from UK and UK citizens are paying lower taxes on imports from the US.

Video of people in Russia greeting Xi’s motorcade.
20·2 days agoThis satire is pretty close to the truth honestly. Right now, Xi is meeting with Putin in Moscow to discuss trade between Russia and China.
For the first trade talks between US and China, Vice Premier He Lifeng is meeting with U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent during his visit to Switzerland from May 9 to 12. China is saying that this was requested by the US and China is reluctantly complying. Trump lied about talking with Xi.
The US economy is cooked.
Chinese President Xi Jinping on Wednesday published a signed article titled “Learning from History to Build Together a Brighter Future” in the Russian Gazette newspaper ahead of his arrival in Russia for a state visit and attendance at the celebrations marking the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Soviet Union’s Great Patriotic War.

Xi made the remarks in a written statement upon his arrival in Moscow for a state visit to the country and attendance at the celebrations marking the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Soviet Union’s Great Patriotic War.
He also said that the two sides have forged a spirit of strategic coordination for new era, which features permanent good-neighborly friendship, comprehensive strategic coordination and mutually beneficial cooperation.
The independent, mature and resilient bilateral relationship, Xi said, not only brings great benefits to the two peoples, but also makes important contributions to maintaining global strategic stability and promoting an equal and orderly multipolar world.

The thing that is driving me crazy is that right wing media and Trump’s administration are saying that Ansarallah are the ones who surrendered. However, Ansarallah only agreed to stop attacking the US military. Ansarallah said that they are not stopping attacks on Israel or lifting their naval blockade on Israel.
What I wonder is how the US military will respond if Ansarallah again attacks a commercial ship bound for Israel. Is the US saying that it will no longer protect commercial ships? Or is Trump setting up a trick scenario where the US will reopen attacks on Yemen when Ansarallah continues their blockade on Israel?

So they’re beginning talks between China and US on May 9 to May 12. The US economy is still probably fucked.
I don’t like playing word games. I’m just trying to post things that I think are interesting. The word"middle east" is a word that I inserted for context.
The exact Trump quote was “The plan we haven’t talked about but we’re not planning on stopping in Israel but we will be doing it at some point but not for this trip”. If I just posted this quote, you wouldn’t know what it meant.

This may be the video related.
Reporter says “You said that the Houthis are backing down. We’re seeing conflicting reports that the Houthis are continuing to attack Israel in support of Gaza. Does that change the equation?”
Trump says “I don’t know about that but I do know that they want nothing to do with us.”
Per Al Jazeera, Trump told reporters at White House that he is not planning to visit Israel on his trip to the middle east. Trump will visit Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates UAE.
The other information that I am inferring is that Ansarallah is possibly still going to attack commercial ships traveling to Israeli ports. Ansarallah had previously declared a trade blockade on Israel and more recently an air blockade. Ansarallah is agreeing specifically not to attack the US military, except for self defense.
What I wonder is how the US military will respond if Ansarallah again attacks a commercial ship bound for Israel. Is the US saying that it will no longer protect commercial ships? Or is Trump setting up a trick scenario where the US will reopen attacks on Yemen when Ansarallah continues their blockade on Israel?
“No Israeli ship will reach any port until the siege is lifted and the aggression on Gaza ends”
That quote is saying that Ansarallah is not agreeing to stop attacks on Israeli-related ships. It is different from Ansarallah agreeing to stop attacking US military.
Trump in the press conference says that there was no official communications with Ansarallah. He said that he believed that Ansarallah made a statement that they would stop attacking the US if the US stopped attacking them. I think Trump is doing a strong arm and hoping they play along.
A statement from Mohammed Ali al-Houthi, says the US halt of “aggression” against Yemen will be evaluated. “Trump’s announcement of a halt to America’s aggression against Yemen will be evaluated on the ground first. It is a victory that separates American support for the temporary entity from a failure for Netanyahu, and he must resign.”
Mohammed al-Bukhaiti says “As for our attacks on the US, they fall within the context of the right to self-defense. If it halts its attacks on us, we will halt our attacks on it. This position also applies to Britain.”

I think the important distinction is that Ansarallah is agreeing to not attack US Military. They are still open to attacking ships linked to Israel as long as Israel continues the genocide in Gaza.

China is responding to the videos that the CIA posted on twitter on May 1. The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs press conference had been closed since April 30 for Labor Day holiday break.
China had previously criticized the CIA for attempting to recruit Chinese official on October 28 2024. The CIA had posted a powerpoint slideshow encouraging Chinese Officials to become spies for the US. The more recent 2 videos are live action propaganda films, which depict Chinese officials as living luxurious lives.

Global Times: The Wall Street Journal recently reported that Western countries believe that China is conducting espionage activities on an “unprecedented scale” to undermine rival states and bolster the country’s economy and that Western spy agencies are unable to contain Beijing’s activity. Does China have a response to that?
Lin Jian: I don’t know what factual basis this report has. For some time, a very few Western media outlets have been peddling disinformation on so-called espionage activities by China, but they presented no facts or evidence apart from some assumptions and speculations. Yet, I noted that the CIA recently posted on social media instructions in Chinese on how to contact it online, in an attempt to lure Chinese personnel to be their informant. This seriously infringes on China’s national interest. China strongly protests this. We will resolutely crack down on infiltration and sabotage activities by anti-China forces outside China and defend national sovereignty, security and development interest.
The CIA has long been using all kinds of despicable methods to steal other countries’ secrets, interfere in their internal affairs and commit subversion. The US has never stopped its espionage activities against China. It has also long been conducting massive surveillance and secret theft against its allies. The US on the one hand blatantly carries out spying activities worldwide, yet on the other makes unwarranted accusation of spying threat against other countries. This is a clear misrepresentation of the facts.
The US needs to immediately correct its wrongdoing, stop its tricks of framing others, and stop creating more chaos and turbulence in the world.
I’m interpreting this to be a “mask off” moment. It was a very obvious mask. Israel clearly always wanted to settle in Gaza. Israel was saying things such as “Israel has a right to defend itself” and claiming that they were only targeting Hamas.
The reason that they are probably going mask off now is because Israel has blocked food to Gaza for the last 65-ish days. Israel is using starvation as a weapon. They are making the calculation that mass starvation has created the opportunity to permanently occupy Gaza and expel all of the Gaza population.
In videos of Netanyahu speaking in Hebrew, he speaks about relocating the Palestinian population.
H.R. 867—a bill that would punish Americans for supporting boycotts of Israel—has been removed from this week’s US House of Representatives schedule.

This is the article posted by DPRK. It has 6 photos of Kim inspecting a tank. KCNA.kp is an official website hosted in DPRK. The website posts new articles usually at 6-7 PM Eastern Time Zone.
I check it almost every day and post when they are interesting to me, which I guess is sort of arbitrary.
Thought this photo was pretty neat. It shows all the builders of their new warship standing beside it, to show the size.

This article shows photos of testing the new missile system on their massive new warship.
Another interesting this is that the KCNA website actually runs on RedStarOS. If you inspect the website’s HTTP header in your browser, it tells you that kcna.kp runs on “Server: Apache/2.4.25 (RedStar4.0) OpenSSL/1.0.1e-fips PHP/5.6.2”.
