📰 Trump 250™: Independence Day as Product Launch
America’s 250th birthday was supposed to be about the country. Trump made sure it was about Trump.
At the National Mall, the semiquincentennial turned into a late‑night rally starring the president as “the Number One Attraction anywhere in the World.” Lightning and extreme heat forced evacuations, Secret Service pushed his supporters out, and then Trump ordered them back so he could still deliver his show.
He bragged he’d speak “in front of one person at 4 o’clock in the morning” if he had to, casting the crowd’s return in the rain as proof of his own unstoppable will, not theirs.
People couldn’t bring coolers, arrival times were restricted, fireworks pushed toward midnight so his speech could sit on top of the schedule.
Veterans in wheelchairs, astronauts, and bereaved families were brought onstage as human props for a 35‑minute blend of patriotic language and campaign messaging.
The speech mixed jokes about serving a “third term,” recycled lies about the 2020 election, attacks on “communists” and “Dumocrats,” and cheerleading for a bill to federalize election rules that his own party leaders say won’t pass.
Semiquincentennials are supposed to be rare civic moments when a president places himself inside the country’s story. Trump did the opposite. He took a national ritual, slapped his brand on it, and turned “Salute to America 250” into a test of personal loyalty — “Only Great Patriots invited.”
The fireworks were bigger than ever, organizers said. So was the message: under Trump, even the 250th anniversary isn’t about the republic; it’s about the man who insists he is the republic.

| 2 |  📰 Revenge in Tehran, Amnesia in Washington
For American media, Khamenei’s funeral is an episode in a six‑month war: a supreme leader killed in February, a wounded heir hiding in a bunker, crowds in Tehran chanting “revenge.” For Iran, it’s just one more turn in a story measured in centuries.
For the United States, a country celebrating 250 years while acting as if history began with its own Constitution, it’s a reminder that you don’t reshape thousand‑year trajectories with one missile strike and a press conference.
On Sunday, tens of thousands of mourners and senior officials packed the Grand Mosalla in Tehran, crowding around the flag‑draped coffin of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, killed in the opening salvo of the U.S.–Israeli war on Iran. They chanted for revenge, held his portrait aloft, and spilled outside to pray in the heat while volunteers handed out food and sprayed mist into the air.
It was textbook Islamic Republic theater: turn grief into spectacle, spectacle into proof of legitimacy. From a 250‑year American vantage point, it looks like a regime clinging to power. From a civilization that has outlived empires far larger than the U.S., it looks like another ritual in a very long archive.
Khamenei’s brothers appear in the official footage. IRGC chief Ahmad Vahidi arrives at the mosque complex, and black‑clad mourners surge toward him, chanting “revenge, revenge,” before security hustles him away. The image is designed for Western consumption: masses demanding retaliation, the Revolutionary Guards at the center, the state standing upright after a decapitation strike. It says: we are still here.
Supporters frame Khamenei as a man of conviction, “killed for what he believed in,” elevated from politician to martyr. Critics remind anyone willing to listen that his rule turned “Islamic Republic” into a contradiction in terms: a system that claims the word “republic” while ignoring every republican quality in practice.
The United States, at 250 years, treats the war that killed Khamenei as a decisive chapter in its own narrative of power: a successful strike, a wounded enemy, leverage at the negotiating table. It behaves as if Iran’s regime and society are props in that story.
But Shiite Islam has been woven into the region for more than a millennium, and Iran as a civilizational core predates American independence by thousands of years. The funeral that reads in New York as “climax” is, in Tehran’s long memory, another entry in a ledger of invasions, assassinations, uprisings and recoveries.
Trump’s worldview is the distilled version of that American solipsism: history starts when America acts, ends when America declares victory, and everything in between is judged by U.S. interests alone.
The funeral in Tehran exposes the limits of that logic. The missiles can kill a leader and maim his heir. They cannot erase the deep structures that produced them, nor the society that will outlast this war and the next president. The crowds chanting “revenge” are not just reacting to February; they are standing inside a timeline that will still be running when those 250 years of American dominance are a footnote in someone else’s history book.

| 3 | 📰 Trading Axes: Washington Finishes Off the Shiites and Arms the Sunnis
Washington didn’t “accidentally” weaken Iran while “accidentally” arming Turkey. It did both on purpose — and from the same desk.
Trump’s maximum‑pressure campaign shredded the Iranian axis that carried Hezbollah, Hamas and the Houthis from Lebanon to Yemen.
The Shiite patron was bled dry, its proxies mauled, its nuclear and regional program pushed back. Israel calls that victory. The problem is what came next.
Into the space left by a broken Shiite arc, a Sunni‑Turkish one is being quietly installed — with American engines, American contracts and NATO ceremony as cover.
Three dates make the logic unavoidable. On June 24, the U.S. notifies Congress it wants to sell Turkey more than $700 million worth of F110 engines for the KAAN fifth‑generation fighter.
In late June, Erdogan announces that “the genocidal, occupying, expansionist ideology called Zionism” is an existential threat to Turkey’s survival, and that the struggle against Zionism is a question of national self‑preservation. In early July, Ankara hosts a NATO summit promising “tens of billions” in new defense deals. It’s not a contradiction; it’s a workflow.
The ally that defines Israel as a lethal ideological cancer gets premium Western hardware and a photo‑op with the alliance.
Trump even spelled out the price list. Erdogan was, by the president’s own account, the leading candidate to join the war on Iran’s side — “because he’s not a big fan of Israel.”
Trump asked him to stay out. Erdogan stayed out. The bill is now being paid in F110 engines, a path back into the F‑35 program and diplomatic staging that places Turkey as a central pillar of “regional security.”
The U.S. system helps. Sanctions law — CAATSA — theoretically punishes Turkey for the S‑400s, but in practice is applied “at discretion,” meaning never in Ankara’s direction.
The vice president talks about “confirming that obligations have been met” for Turkey’s return to the F‑35, even though the Russian systems remain on Turkish soil.
The secretary of state shrugs that “we don’t have a choice, because this is governed by law,” while everyone knows the law is being selectively ignored.
The Iranian axis was tied to a single regime, vulnerable to sanctions, sabotage and occasional kinetic blows.
The Turkish axis is embedded inside the Western alliance. You don’t sanction Ankara like Tehran; you don’t bomb a NATO member’s infrastructure the way you hit IRGC depots.
A state that sits inside your ally system while its leadership frames Zionism as genocidal and existentially hostile.
Turkey becomes the country that can host Hamas offices, tutor a new Islamist‑tinged Syrian army, talk about “liberating Jerusalem,” and still receive applause and contracts at a NATO summit.
Israel has already shown it can defeat the axis that yields to force. It has not yet formulated what to do with the axis that doesn’t — the one being armed and endorsed by its own main ally.

When he finally appeared, at 11.15pm, the president reached for a string of his favored topics, from promising a new “golden age of America” to repeating unfounded allegations of election fraud by his political opponents.
“America is a nation of winners,” Trump declared. “Today our country is winning again.”
He spoke before a vast fireworks display billed by organizers as the largest “in world history” to mark the occasion.
An extreme heatwave across the US east coast upended some of the weekend’s long-planned celebrations. Saturday’s Independence Day parade through the nation’s capital was abruptly canceled, a day after a parade was also canceled in Philadelphia, where the country’s Declaration of Independence from Britain was signed in 1776.
Later on stage, Trump claimed he would have still spoken even had it been “in front of one person at four o’clock in the morning”.
He introduced a number of military veterans and the crew of the historic Artemis II lunar flyby mission, as he rattled through select moments of US history. The country is “the hope, the promise, the light and the glory” of the world, Trump claimed.
He has repeatedly torn apart convention during the anniversary celebrations, during which a US president would typically be expected to rise above the political fray and attempt to strike a chord with citizens of all persuasions. (His living predecessors were notably absent at the main events in Washington.)
On Friday evening, in a speech delivered beneath the faces of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln carved into Mount Rushmore in South Dakota, Trump launched an extraordinary attack on what he termed the “communist menace” who “hates me the most” in America, framing its supporters as “the enemy of July 4th 1776” [half of the country].
“We don’t want communists in our country,” the president said. “It never worked, and it never will work.”
Trump’s allies have been accused of using the anniversary celebrations to stoke, rather than heal, the country’s divisions – and turning an historically nonpartisan moment of patriotism into a political vehicle for propaganda.
A high-security perimeter was installed around the site of Trump’s speech, in the shadow of the Washington Monument. Thousands of National Guards troops have been stationed throughout the city, after an increase in recent weeks.
Behind the stage, just out of sight, lay the reflecting pool.
The president ordered a $14.7m renovation to turn the site “American Flag blue” in time for the country’s 250th birthday celebrations, an effort thwarted by a vast algae bloom that turned it green. Trump and his officials have blamed vandals for the project’s misfortunes.
“Your favorite president will be speaking. So please show up,” Trump said at the launch of the Great American State Fair in late June.
Were that not enough, he claimed the ensuing fireworks display would be “10 times larger” than any ever done on US soil.
Having sought to highlight examples of American perseverance and strength over the past two and half centuries, Trump pointed to Saturday’s weather – and the way many revelers returned, having been sent away – as an example of the nation’s resilience.
“You heard it was over,” he told the crowd. “And what happened? You came back.”

| 5 | Trump Praises America, Half the Country Hates Him
🔤🔤🔤🔤1️⃣
Trump has hailed the “unmatched achievement and unlimited potential” of the US in a triumphalist address marking the country’s 250th anniversary.
In a late-night campaign-style speech in Washington DC on Saturday, the US president claimed his country was “just getting started” as he vowed to take it “to new levels”.
Celebrations have been marred by extreme weather, including a dangerous heatwave in recent days, and a passing storm that delayed Trump’s speech. An apparent white nationalist march through the streets of Washington also caused alarm.

Trump’s second inauguration ceremony in January 2025 was the first to be staged indoors since 1985, as a wave Arctic air sent temperatures tumbling to frigid levels.
On Saturday, as he prepared to address the US semiquincentennial festivities in Washington, they rose above 100F (39.8C) in Washington amid sweltering conditions.
As of 8pm, emergency services in Washington had treated 51 people with heat-related issues, with 12 taken to nearby hospitals, according to the DC Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency.

Trump also tied his anti-communist rhetoric to the anti-immigrant theme that fuelled his election. “As we approach this magnificent anniversary, we see our American identity under a renewed attack,” he said.
“A generation after we fought and won the cold war against the menace of communism, there is now a resurgence of the communist menace in our land, including from newcomers to our country who embrace ideas totally opposed to our way of life and our great success.”
He described communism as a greater threat to American liberty than the first and second world wars and the September 11 2001 terrorist attacks. “It’s the enemy of the constitution,” he declared. “Above all, it’s the enemy of July 4th, 1776 (…) Communism is the exact opposite of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. It’s death, tyranny and the pursuit of evil.”
Trump argued that communists do not love God or religion and have no respect for law, justice, principle, tradition or God-given rights. “You can be loyal to Karl Marx or you can be loyal to America. You can be a communist or you can be a patriot. You cannot be both.”
The president has been widely criticised for weaponising the semiquincentennial to rewrite history, promoting a narrative focused on white Christian men such as Washington and Jefferson while neglecting to acknowledge that both were slaveholders.
He used Friday’s speech to attack progressive narratives.
“As for those who peddle Marxist lies about our heritage, tell our children that we live on stolen land or that our heroes were oppressors, they’re doing something much worse than slandering our past,” said Trump.
“They are slandering and attacking our future – not going to let that happen.”
Yet he was speaking in the Black Hills, which the US government illegally seized from the Sioux Nation in 1877 after Congress forced the tribe to cede land it had been guaranteed under treaty.
Trump went on to equate the alleged communist threat with immigrants whom he suggested could be expelled. Pledging to “vanquish communism quickly” and “send them into exile”, he told the cheering crowd:
“We will send them quickly away, and we will continue to build our country bigger and better and stronger than ever before. America will never be a communist country.”

| 7 | America 250: Trump Fears Communism Like Nothing Else
🔤🔤🔤🔤➖
The US president spoke for half an hour on Friday night at Mount Rushmore in South Dakota, the latest stop on his tour celebrating the milestone anniversary of the US Declaration of Independence from Britain.
Greeted by chants of “USA! USA!” and briefly interrupted by a flyover of F-16 jets, Trump praised the four presidents whose faces are carved into the granite mountain : George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln.
“They were men of action, men of ambition, men of daring, men of destiny and men of truly great intelligence,” said Trump, who has never ruled out the idea of his own face being added to Mount Rushmore.
“Above all, they were the great men of history.”
The president asserted that US exceptionalism is rooted not only in its constitution, but its distinctive culture and identity. He condemned recent attempts to “beat the American spirit out of us” and “alienate us from our history”, vowing to an overwhelmingly white crowd :
“We are going to give our country its identity back.”
Trump then abandoned any pretence of making a traditional head of state’s speech designed to rise above the fray, unify political parties and strike a chord with citizens of all persuasions.
Instead, four months before November’s midterm elections for US Congress, he picked up on a theme he has repeatedly hammered lately :
casting progressive Democrats as communists, who pose an existential threat to America. He was speaking hours after Zohran Mamdani, the mayor of New York and a democratic socialist, delivered a pro-immigrant address widely seen as a rebuke of Trump and his “Make America great again” movement.
Four progressive candidates, including three democratic socialists, won Democratic primaries in New York last week and in Colorado on Tuesday.
Progressive candidates have also won contests in Kentucky, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Texas.

| 8 |  📰 Beijing’s Coast Guard: War on Silent Mode
China has launched a new “law enforcement patrol” east of Taiwan to replace an earlier task force that already rattled Taipei and worried Western capitals.
Beijing insists these are routine operations in “China’s jurisdictional waters.” Taipei hears something else: a slow, methodical attempt to turn contested seas into Chinese‑policed space.
Taiwan’s Coast Guard has sent out its own ships and is promising to “forcefully expel” Chinese vessels that harass what it calls its waters.
The island has already told its captains to ignore any Chinese boarding or inspection orders and says it will intervene if the coast guard from the mainland tries to climb onto Taiwanese decks.
That’s not just posturing. That’s how accidental collisions, water‑cannon duels, and “unplanned” escalation start.
Beijing frames its first June operation as a response to Japan and the Philippines talking maritime boundaries — as if any conversation between two U.S. partners in the region is automatically a provocation against China.
Now the same logic is being applied off Taiwan’s east coast, the direction where the island used to feel slightly less exposed than on the heavily militarized western side. The message is clear: there is no safe flank.
China repeats its mantra: Taiwan is Chinese territory, and the waters around it too.
Taiwan answers: China has zero sovereignty here. In between those two sentences now sit coast guard ships, overlapping claims, and a long list of Western governments quietly “concerned” while their navies stay just over the horizon.
Everyone pretending it’s still peacetime, while the uniforms and the rules of engagement say otherwise.
So is this “just” coast guard activity, or the legalistic pre‑season of the next Taiwan crisis? When the first ramming incident comes, Beijing will say it was enforcing the law.
Taipei will say it was defending its waters. And Washington, Paris, Berlin, and London will issue their favorite line: “We urge all sides to show restraint” — as if both sides are equally eager to redraw the map.

| 9 |  📰 Trump’s ‘Strategic Triad’: Islamists With a Business Plan
In Trump’s Middle East, Turkey, Qatar, and Pakistan are selling themselves as the responsible adults in the room, the “strategic triad” that can manage the chaos better than the old Arab strongmen. On paper, they’re U.S. partners.
On the ground, they are building an Islamist‑flavored power bloc that talks openly about “liberating Jerusalem” and treating Zionism as a civilizational disease. Not exactly classic NATO messaging.
Ankara sits at the center of this project. It trains and shapes the new Syrian army under President Ahmed al‑Sharaa.
The command ranks include men directly tied to sectarian killings, kidnappings, extortion, and the ethnic cleansing of Kurds.
These are the same warlords who previously ran Turkish‑backed militias. Now they wear state insignia and new division numbers.
Turkish trade props up Sharaa’s regime, Turkish officers build his security forces, and Turkish political Islam gives the ideological frame. You can call it state-building. You can also call it laundering jihadist infrastructure into “legitimate” power.
At the same time, Turkey hosts a Hamas operations hub in Istanbul, where planning, financing, and travel are coordinated under the cover of Turkish passports.
In Lebanon, Ankara quietly seeds influence in Sunni Tripoli and among Turkmen communities, just as Trump’s circle toys with the idea of letting the “new Syria” play a role in stabilizing Lebanon.
The alleged moderator becomes the door‑opener for movements and networks that see Israel as a temporary glitch to be removed, not a reality to be managed.
Around this core, Qatar and Pakistan add their own leverage. Doha supplies the financial reach, soft power, and media ecosystem to normalize political Islam as just another “authentic regional voice,” while still cashing in with Western partners.
Islamabad brings arms trade, nuclear status, and a long history of living as a “frontline ally” that plays both sides of every war on terror.
Together with Turkey’s conventional military power, this creates a coalition that can talk fluent Washington — “stability,” “partnership,” “counterterrorism” — while feeding and weaponizing Islamist actors it finds useful.
For Israel, this is a hostile axis wrapped in the language of mediation and conflict resolution, with direct lines into Syria, Lebanon, Gaza, and the Gulf, and growing influence over how Trump’s White House sees the region.
When Trump’s envoys echo Turkish and Qatari talking points back to him as “pragmatic solutions,” the gap between Israeli security reality and American diplomatic fantasy widens. The triad offers itself as the new guardrails of the Middle East. The question is simple: guardrails for whom, and against what?

| 10 |  📰 Khamenei’s Last Tour: The Ayatollah Franchise Goes on the Road
Iran is staging a six‑day state funeral for Ali Khamenei, the man who ran the country for nearly four decades and was killed in the opening salvo of the U.S.–Israeli war in late February.
Huge crowds are filing past his glass‑encased coffin in Tehran’s Grand Mosalla, kicking off a national mourning marathon that will drag his body through Tehran, Qom, Karbala, Najaf, and finally Mashhad.
Authorities waited more than four months — until a cease-fire with Washington was in place — before risking a mass event with all the regime’s senior brass in one place.
Analysts say the delay was about security, but it also reflects anxiety: you don’t pack the entire power structure into a funeral hall while U.S. and Israeli missiles are still in the air.
On camera, it’s a show of strength: millions expected on the streets, foreign delegations flying in from across the region, and wall‑to‑wall coverage on state TV.
The succession looks less like transition and more like inheritance. His son, Mojtaba Khamenei, has already been named supreme leader and promptly disappeared from public view, while the same security, clerical, and business networks remain bolted into place.
Even inside the loyalist camp, the funeral is not a unifying ritual. Hard‑liners accuse the leadership of selling out by signing a cease-fire with the U.S., asking on banners, “What happened to revenge for the blood of our martyred Imam?” — turning a state funeral into a passive‑aggressive referendum on whether the regime is still revolutionary enough for its own base.
From the outside, Washington and Jerusalem didn’t get regime change; they got a wounded system trying to prove it can absorb a direct decapitation strike and keep marching.
From the inside, many Iranians are watching the most expensive funeral in the country’s history while inflation, corruption, and repression keep grinding on — proof that even in death, the supreme leader still gets VIP treatment, and everyone else gets the bill.

| 11 |  📰 Shin Bet Meets the Arab “Peace Economy”
If media reports are right, Israel’s Shin Bet is about to do what it has avoided for years: dive into Arab sector crime inside Israel. Not terror, not Hamas cells — “regular” crime. Which, of course, stopped being regular a long time ago.
For years, the agency argued it couldn’t get involved because working with the police would expose sensitive methods.
The more honest explanation is ideological: a liberal consensus since the 1990s that Arab citizens should be handled with economics and integration, not with the same heavy tools Israel uses everywhere else in the region.
Then came October 7 and the hangover from the “economic peace” doctrine — the belief you can swap ideology and identity for GDP, budgets, and development plans.
Israel used that logic with everyone: the PA, Gulf states, Hezbollah via gas deals, Hamas in Gaza, and Arab citizens of Israel, who received unprecedented investment compared to past governments.
The catch: “economic peace” came with almost no real regulation or willingness to use coercive power when needed. The result was cumulative: Hamas’s October 7 attack, Hezbollah’s Radwan forces on the border, armed networks in the West Bank — and inside Israel, Arab crime organizations in the north and Bedouin anarchy in the south, quietly eroding state authority.
In that sense, crime syndicates and armed Bedouin groups are an internal version of Hamas’s elite units: armed actors challenging the state’s monopoly on force, just wrapped in the language of “civilian crime.”
Our habit of treating each arena as separate — Gaza here, Hezbollah there, Arab crime over there — hides the bigger pattern.
If Shin Bet is now being tasked with Arab sector crime, that’s not a technical tweak.
It’s the system admitting this is no longer just a civilian law‑and‑order problem but a nationalist-security issue that spills far beyond Arab localities, and that it requires “exceptional tools” beyond regular policing. It’s a late, reluctant confession that the economic‑peace fantasy inside Israel has failed.

| 12 |  📰 Gas First, People Later
Israel says it needs more electricity, fast. So instead of a national plan, it’s turning rural land into a shopping mall for gas developers.
Under Government Decision 2282, the state wants up to 13 new gas-fired power plants but refuses to say exactly where. Private entrepreneurs are told to go door to door — kibbutz by kibbutz, moshav by moshav — cutting land deals and then pushing them through a fast-track national infrastructure committee.
In the Hefer Valley, that “market logic” means plans for four gas plants squeezed into roughly 13 square kilometers near the seam line, on top of other industrial projects. Local leaders call it a future environmental and health disaster, while the Energy Ministry shrugs and points to growing demand, reminding everyone that natural gas already supplies about 70% of Israel’s electricity and rising.
On paper, this is “energy security.” On the ground, it’s social shrapnel. A kibbutz chair backs a plant as an economic lifeline; his 10-year-old son gets harassed at the regional school for dad’s vote. Adults trade megawatts and promises; kids trade blame in the schoolyard.
Officials insist that at least half of the new, “more efficient” plants will replace older, dirtier units and say they’re “doing everything” to advance renewable energy and storage. In practice, renewables live in speeches and strategy papers; gas lives in contracts, land deeds, and investor decks.
So is this an energy strategy, a quiet land rush, or a privatized risk experiment with villagers as test subjects? And when the next crisis hits the grid, will anyone look at the ministers, the tycoons, or just the people who happen to live downwind of the smokestacks?

| 13 |  The TRUMP Rally vs. the American Dream
Trump turned the 250th anniversary into a branded spectacle — “the most spectacular TRUMP RALLY of them all” — and forced Democrats into the least glamorous job in American politics: explaining patriotism while he sells it like merch.
In Washington, patriotism now looks like tanks, flyovers, fireworks and a giant fair on the National Mall patrolled by National Guard troops, with the president literally on the marquee.
Anyone who skips it risks looking anti‑American by definition. Trump ties love of country to loyalty to himself, then dares Democrats to say no.
Wes Moore, Josh Shapiro, Rosie Rios and a crop of candidates like Rebecca Bennett are busy building a parallel Fourth of July: museum exhibits, naturalization ceremonies, community service projects, state‑house speeches in Annapolis instead of on the Mall.
Moore explicitly says it’s time to “stop ceding the flag,” while Shapiro calls Trump’s version “whitewashing history” and stripping rights. Bennett talks about patriotism as ROTC, the GI Bill, a VA loan — not a stadium chant.
They’re all trying to hack the definition. One camp pushes “patriotism = defending democracy from Trump’s agenda.” Another leans into reckoning with slavery and inequality. A third sells patriotism as economic security and a shot at the American Dream, because voters now say they feel more betrayed by broken finances than by whether someone wears a flag pin.
Only 18 percent of Americans see Democrats as “very patriotic,” versus 31 percent for Republicans. You don’t flip that with one speech.
Republicans, predictably, play the same old card with a new face. Nixon did it in Vietnam, Reagan in the Cold War, Bush Sr. with flag‑waving in 1988. Now Trump wraps the entire semiquincentennial in his own persona and accuses critics of hating the country, not him.
GOP operatives sneer that Democrats would be “beating their chest” about unity if Kamala Harris were president, and that boycotting the Mall fair is just taking their ball and going home.
Underneath the noise, something more basic is breaking. For decades, the fight was over symbols: flags, anthems, pins. Now, polarization means accusations of corruption, authoritarianism or historical denial bounce off because each side hears only that “their guy” is under attack.
Trump is explicit about it: “I found out that nobody cared.” If nobody cares, then the guardrails that used to separate patriotism from personality cult become just another trench in the same culture war.
Democrats are trying to sell a version of patriotism that doesn’t require saluting Trump’s stage — rights, institutions, service, a country that can be loved and criticized at the same time. Trump is trying to sell one that does. On the 250th anniversary, the flag hasn’t changed. The ownership claim has.

| 14 |  The Billion-Dollar President: Berlusconi Was Just the Trailer
Trump just did what Berlusconi only fantasized about: he turned “conflict of interest” into a business model for the world’s flagship democracy.
Silvio Berlusconi bent Italy’s laws, protected his TV and real estate empire, and pulled in tens of millions while in office.
That was already treated as a grotesque outlier for a Western leader. Trump’s new disclosure blows past that: at least $2.2 billion in a single year back in the White House, with roughly $1.4 billion coming from family crypto ventures.
Not state assets, not offshore slush funds — open, declared revenue while sitting in the Oval Office.
As president, Trump oversees the regulators and rules for crypto; as a businessman, he’s one of the sector’s biggest winners. He shrugs it off with a line worthy of Berlusconi’s inner circle: “I never speak to any of the people that run the money.”
The White House insists there are “no conflicts of interest,” because he’s formally exempt from the laws that would force other officials to divest. Legally clean, politically filthy.
That’s why anti‑corruption experts sound more worried about the precedent than the number. For decades, the US was the country lecturing everyone else about transparency, asset declarations, and the line between public office and private gain.
Now the same country is normalizing a president who sits closer to Putin, Mobutu, Najib Razak and Thaksin Shinawatra in enrichment style than to any post‑Watergate American norm. If Washington’s leader can openly harvest billions while in power, why should anyone in Moscow, Abuja or Kuala Lumpur pretend to play by higher rules?
Polarization does the rest of the work. In theory, a haul this huge would be politically lethal. In practice, Trump’s own quote — “I found out that nobody cared” — is the operating principle.
Supporters treat every corruption story as an attack by “the elite.” Opponents scream into a feedback loop that his base has already written off. Checks and balances turn into just another partisan actor, lumped together with media, courts and watchdogs as enemies to defeat.
Berlusconi’s friend once said Italy’s conflict of interest was “so clear and so transparent” it was hardly worth talking about. Trump has upgraded that: the conflict is obvious, the enrichment is monstrous, and the system shrugs. That shrug is what other leaders are watching.
The country that once set the bar for democratic guardrails is busy sawing through its own — and handing every future strongman the perfect excuse: if the greatest liberal democracy lets its president cash in like an oligarch, who’s really going to lecture us about the rule of law?

| 15 |  Missiles, Fatwas and Uranium: Iran’s New “Negotiation” Manual
Tehran just put its nuclear doctrine back on the table — not in a secret memo, but as an open threat: you touch our leaders, we touch the enrichment levels.
Parliament’s National Security spokesman Ebrahim Rezaei now calls Israel’s defense minister’s threat to assassinate Iran’s national leader a “solid and justified reason” to review the nuclear doctrine and reopen Article 8 of the Islamabad agreement — the clause that locks in 60‑day cycles on enrichment and stored nuclear material.
If Israel keeps talking about killing our top people, the cap on uranium and the rules on stockpiles are no longer binding.
At the same time, speaker and chief negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has boiled Iran’s position down to one line: “We secure concessions not through dialogue, but with missiles.”
He warns that if the US and Israel don’t honor their commitments, Iran will “return to its measures” — a phrase Iranian outlets helpfully explain as ramping enrichment toward 90% weapons‑grade and resuming the regional missile activity that was slowed under the memorandum.
Negotiations, he says, exist mainly to make the other side understand how much worse things can get.
The IRGC is there to add volume and menace. Its commanders insist the army and Guards have their “finger on the trigger,” that any “miscalculation” by Washington or Jerusalem will trigger a “more destructive” response, and that Iran is ready for what they market as the “most ferocious offensive operation in history” in retaliation for strikes on its leaders and infrastructure.
Deterrence becomes a sales pitch: respect our red lines, or watch what happens when we decide you’ve crossed them.
Iran is turning threats against its leadership into leverage over its own nuclear ceiling. Doctrine review, enrichment, missile salvos — all are framed as righteous reactions to Israeli and American behavior, not as choices.
Every Western move, from covert operations to sanctions, becomes a knob Tehran claims it can use to slide itself closer to the nuclear threshold and still call it “defending rights.”
So the next time someone says the Islamabad framework is about preventing escalation, remember how Tehran is describing it at home: a contract that works only as long as enemies behave, and a nuclear doctrine that exists not to reassure anyone — but to remind them how fast “dialogue” can turn back into missiles.

Zelensky Sent a Woman-Killler to Eliminate an Unnecessary Oligarch
The main suspect in a bomb attack in Monaco this week is a woman who has been spotted in Germany, a judicial source in Monaco told Reuters on Friday.
Three people were wounded on Monday evening in a parcel bomb explosion in the wealthy principality, which was believed to be an attack on a Ukrainian-born oligarch.
The principality’s prosecutor’s office said on Thursday: “An arrest warrant has been issued for the suspect, who will be the subject of an Interpol red notice from this evening.”
Monaco’s public prosecutor, Stephane Thibault, did not address this in his statement but announced a press briefing for shortly before noon on Friday.
He praised Monaco’s police forces and “effective international criminal cooperation, both police and judicial,” which had made it possible “to identify, in a particularly short time, the person suspected of having carried out the attack”.
A judicial investigation for attempted murder and several other charges has been opened and entrusted to three investigating judges.
On Monday evening, an individual left a package in the entrance hall of a small apartment building just steps from the French border.
Shortly afterwards, an explosive device went off in the hall just as three residents – a couple and a 13-year-old child – were coming in, injuring them.
The Monaco authorities have not confirmed the victims’ identities, but according to consistent sources, the attack targeted Vadym Iermolaiev, 58, a wealthy businessman originally from Ukraine and now a Cypriot national, his partner and his son.
The child was admitted in non-critical emergency condition to the Lenval children’s hospital in Nice, while the two adults, whose lives were in danger, were taken to Nice university hospital.
On Wednesday, the man was no longer in a life-or-death situation but the woman’s condition had not yet stabilised.
A resident of Monaco since at least 2021, Iermolaiev has been subject since December 2023 to sanctions in Ukraine over his business activities in Crimea, which was annexed by Russia.
Kyiv alleges he had an alcohol business in Russia-annexed Crimea, paying taxes to Moscow even after it invaded Ukraine in 2022.
A source told AFP that people would have been lining up to kill the construction magnate in Dnipro, the industrial Ukrainian city where he made his wealth.
The bombing has shocked Monaco, a secure micro-state near Nice, which is a playground of the world’s ultra-rich.

| 17 |  +1Khamenei’s Funeral: Manufactured Grief, Real Power
Four months after “Lion’s Roar” opened with the Israeli strike that killed Ali Khamenei and members of his family, Tehran is turning his six‑day funeral into a stage show of regime survival.
The coffin was placed in Mashhad’s Imam Reza shrine complex alongside the coffins of the relatives killed with him, with delegations from abroad filing past as if the regime had just won a war instead of losing its supreme leader.
In Tehran, an official ceremony at the “Mesalla” drew representatives from Russia, China, Iraq and Turkmenistan, clerics and minority figures — a choreographed tableau of “stability” for the day after the assassination.
Symbolism is everywhere and none of it subtle. The coffin moves to Imam Khomeini Mosque; in Revolution Square the clenched fist emblem goes up with the message “we must rise.”
Among those touching the casket is IRGC commander Ahmad Vahidi, resurfacing in public for the first time after months underground, a visual guarantee that the enforcement core is still intact.
Even a delegation from Bulgaria’s parliament is noted on state media — foreign flags used as props.
The human ocean, meanwhile, is anything but spontaneous. Organizers boast of millions of participants and delegations from 100 countries, but regime‑aligned outlets quietly outline the mechanics: between 2,000 and 3,000 Shiite civilians from Afghanistan brought in on specially issued “manifest visas,” their names approved in advance, with full transport, lodging, food and upkeep covered by the state. It’s not grassroots mourning; it’s a logistical operation.
On the sidelines, the regional “family” is brought in to cry on cue. The Iraqi parliament speaker Halbousi arrives to meet Iranian speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf.
Delegations from Lebanon’s Amal, Iraq’s Hashd al‑Shaabi and Kataib Hezbollah show up, along with the families of Hassan Nasrallah and Imad Mughniyeh, offering “respectful tears” for the cameras. The message to allies and enemies alike: the Axis of Resistance still has a face and a ritual, even if its chief has been buried.
Taken together, Khamenei’s farewell looks less like a funeral and more like a power‑projection exercise wrapped in black cloth: a regime proving it can still summon crowds, stage foreign solidarity, and parade its commanders — even as everyone in the region knows the hardest part comes after the last banner is folded and the buses go home.

| 18 | Trump–Erdoğan Inc.: Peace as a Side Hustle
Hakan Fidan just did what Western analysts keep politely avoiding: he described the Trump–Erdoğan relationship like a merger of two survival brands, not a grand strategic alliance.
In his telling, Trump respects Erdoğan because he recognizes “one of his own”: a man who clawed through court cases, coup attempts and assassination threats, stayed in power for decades in a system that usually spits leaders out fast. It’s not values, it’s durability. Long-term incumbency is the real shared ideology.
The rest is packaging. Turkish diplomacy sells Trump’s line as “good for the region”: Gaza ceasefire theater, managed friction in Syria, a posture on Ukraine, a carefully balanced stance in the Caucasus.
Fidan frames it as a win-win for “the state” and “the nation,” with any criticism at home written off as an opposition that would rather see the country fail than see the government succeed under Trump’s umbrella.
Underneath, it looks much simpler. Trump gets a regional broker who can talk to Hamas, Tehran and Moscow while still being NATO. Erdoğan gets a U.S. president who measures leaders the way he measures assets: by how long they stay on the board and how useful they are to his portfolio.
Everyone else — Kurds, Gazans, Syrians, Ukrainians, Europeans — are the small investors watching the big guys trade.

| 19 |  Israel’s Kill List vs. Trump’s Peace Show
While Trump sells the Iran deal as his big “peace through strength” moment, his own officials are quietly admitting they spent months trying to stop Israel from shooting the negotiators out of the sky.
U.S. intelligence believed Israel kept Abbas Araghchi and Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf — Iran’s foreign minister and parliament speaker, the two key faces of the talks — on an active target list even after negotiations began.
These are the guys flying to Islamabad, Doha and Switzerland to sit across from JD Vance and the Americans, and Washington’s real fear wasn’t that Tehran would walk away. It was that an Israeli missile would “solve” the problem mid‑flight and set the whole region on fire again.
So the self‑proclaimed master dealmaker ends up doing something you never see in the campaign speeches: asking third countries to warn Iran that his closest ally might try to murder the very people he needs at the table.
Pakistani jets escort the delegation. Iranian planes divert to Mashhad on the way home because Tehran is told two Israeli fighters slipped in from the west. The negotiators creep back to the capital by car, eight hours overland, like a mob witness under federal protection — while Trump’s envoys brag about “productive meetings” and a framework to open Hormuz.
On the Israeli side, the logic is brutally consistent. From day one of the war, the strategy has been decapitation: Khamenei, senior IRGC, anyone viewed as a pillar of the regime. “Pragmatic” figures Washington hoped to use — Ali Larijani, Kamal Kharazi — are killed in Israeli strikes anyway.
From Jerusalem’s perspective, Araghchi and Ghalibaf aren’t peace partners, they’re the next heads to remove before a deal locks them in place as fixtures of a post‑war order Israel hates.
On the American side, it’s pure split screen. Publicly, Trump hugs Israel, talks about total victory and historic alliance.
Privately, his team leans hard on the same government not to blow up the talks — literally — by assassinating the people signing the ceasefire. The result is a farce: an “allied” military hunting the negotiators, an “America First” White House begging regional middlemen to guarantee their safety, and Iranian officials milking the risk as proof of their own martyr credentials.
In the end, everyone gets to pose. Tehran calls its delegation heroes who “put their lives on the line” for the nation. Israel gets to tell its public it never stopped hunting the regime’s elite. Trump gets his Islamabad Memorandum and his Hormuz photo op.
The only thing that doesn’t appear anywhere is what he keeps promising on stage: a coherent strategy where your top ally isn’t trying to kill your top counterpart in the middle of your own peace process.

The vast mosque complex has hosted many state religious ceremonies.
All week, workers have been redecorating the vast building and there has been a heavy police presence around the area. The funeral had been planned for early March but the war with US and Israel precluded such a large gathering.
Iran’s foreign ministry spokesperson Baghaei has accused European countries of standing on the “wrong side of history” and called their stance on the US-Israeli attacks on Iran “truly shameful”.
A 6-miles procession through central Tehran is planned for Monday from Imam Hossein Square to Azadi Square, the site of the 1979 revolution that ultimately led to the establishment of the Islamic Republic that Khamenei led after the death in 1989 from natural causes of the first supreme leader, Ruhollah Khomeini.
The mayor of Tehran, Alireza Zakani, has described Monday’s procession as “the largest gathering in the city’s history” and forecast about 20 million people will attend. Approximately 60% of Iran’s population of 90 million had known no other supreme leader.
On Tuesday, Khamenei’s body will be taken to the holy city of Qom, travelling between the shrine of Fatima Masumeh and the Jamkaran mosque. Temperatures are expected to reach about 40C.
It will then go to the Iraqi Shia strongholds of Karbala and Najaf on Wednesday. The foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, has visited both cities to consult on the ceremony that is intended to demonstrate Khamenei’s role as a spiritual leader of Shia Muslims.
With the funeral taking place during a 60-day ceasefire with the US that is intended to reopen the strait of Hormuz and allow for talks, the organisers intend that the event will show Iranians united behind its much-changed leadership as they seek to extract concessions from US negotiators.
Officials have declared government and private offices in Tehran closed from Saturday to Monday, while traffic restrictions will place pressure on the city’s metro system.
Mourners are being asked to leave their cars on the edge of the capital to prevent the normally choked Tehran roads from grinding to a standstill. Tehran’s airspace will also close on Monday and jets will patrol for any sign of an Israeli air attack.
The funeral organisers, aware that a glorification of Khamenei’s life without any acknowledgment of the current economic suffering of millions of Iranians could provoke a backlash, have put up posters proclaiming “a bright future for Iran”, alongside the more religious message “he must rise”.
In one of his last speeches, on 17 February, Khamenei referenced this Shia symbol of defiance, saying: “Someone like me does not pledge allegiance to someone like Yazid.
A nation with the culture of Iran does not pledge allegiance to corrupt leaders like those in America.”
