The Houthis should counter the $1B offer with a 25% stake in Saudi Aramco

Dear President Prabowo, Thank you for cutting gas exports to Singapore on Saturday, 24 October 2026. It gave Singaporeans immense pride and joy to know that we have clean and competent leaders who prepared well in advance for such a contingency. Thank you for motivating our leaders to continue ensuring we have adequate inventories of gas and other resources that we import from Indonesia. Thank you for compelling us to diversify our sources of supply so that we can uphold our stability and growth. Thank you for inspiring our government to explore different energy sources that may be more efficient and cleaner, such as geothermal and nuclear energy. Thank you to your Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources, Bahlil Lahadalia, who threatened on 26 October 2026 that he would “not hesitate to consider stopping exports to countries that do not respect Indonesia.” It has taught us and the rest of the world to be wiser and more vigilant when we do business with and in your country. Thank you for sacrificing your reputation and the credibility of your nation to show us what we should not do in the global economy and market. Thank you for demonstrating to us that such a decision can send shivers through other governments, entrepreneurs, and investors. If Singapore were to act in the same way, it would drive them and their investments from our nation, and it would affect our peace, progress, and prosperity. Thank you, President Prabowo, for setting a clear example of how not to run a government to create the best future for our people and our country. It has inspired Singaporeans to become more united and operationally ready to further strengthen our economy and society. For example, Saudi Arabia plans to store crude oil at Jurong Rock Caverns from the second half of 2027. We provide them with stability, security, incorruptibility, safety, and predictability. The storage will contribute to Singapore's energy security and resilience in the event of supply disruptions. It will also enhance the reliability of Saudi crude oil supplies to the region. President Prabowo, rest assured that Singapore is a principled, trustworthy, and reliable friend. Singapore has consistently stood by Indonesia, especially in times of need. For example, during the recent COVID-19 pandemic, Singapore supported Indonesia across multiple waves of the crisis. We supplied medical aid, equipment, vaccines, and financial coordination to help protect your people and manage the pandemic. We will reach out to offer our assistance again because we value the welfare of our neighbours, the long-term health of our bilateral relationship, and regional stability. We remain committed to good-neighbourliness, constructive cooperation, and mutual respect between our countries. Terima kasih!

@ErNyoni @GabeZZOZZ They will prevail by conceding to Russia 👆🏻

@SalimWTY @cryptamurai AIPAC and Epstein files will be under control of whoever is the PM of Israel.

@MoneyAtheist @Pavan_07goyal @grok I needs a deal, but just not a deal that results to the USA losing. Iran will bite down hard onto having the same MOU terms or better.

@_Haris_Srg Afraid??? Dude…nobody has ever stopped Indonesia from processing its own natural gas. The govt just didn’t have the money to invest.

@dadungfiki @calvinelcheng It is largely due to poor governance and corruption. People simply don’t feel safe with money in Indonesia.

@dadungfiki @calvinelcheng That’s provided that Indonesia can get the funding it needs…but with the MSCI downgrade and the corruption…let’s see how long it’s going to take.

Claim everything except...

Jared Kushner's iPhone was hacked. Dutch military intelligence got access to his iPhone. He had two bank accounts. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Emirati ruler Mohammed bin Zayed deposited up to $700 million dollars in transfers. And Hunter Biden sold a painting.

BREAKING: Dutch spies hacked Jared Kushner's iPhone and watched him access a Dubai bank account holding hundreds of millions funneled from Azerbaijan, part of at least $2 billion MBS and MBZ placed for him after he promised to push their agenda with Trump, per a Vanity Fair excerpt. "Jared was looking for shortcuts in his diplomacy. He promised MBZ that he'd push their agenda with Trump if they participated in a fund. He wanted normalization with Israel so that business could take off," a source who knew the arrangement said. The money was meant to redraw the region's map and lock in normalization with Israel. Roughly $1 billion of it was deposited in Israel's Central Bank for Kushner, with Netanyahu requiring dual-key approval on any transfers. The two royals initially discussed more than $10 billion for a shared slush fund. That narrowed to roughly $2 billion deposited into accounts Kushner could access, including roughly $750 million at First Abu Dhabi Bank under a UAE charity used as cover for covert operations. The reveal comes as Kushner is deeply involved in Iran war diplomacy, where Iran has accused him and Steve Witkoff of pocketing $9 billion through market manipulation, using insider knowledge of the talks to trade oil futures, energy stocks, and prediction markets.

Please remind us why China started restricting critical mineral exports. It wasn’t chips sanctions placed by the US on China, by any chance, was it? The rest of us are collateral damage to the actions of both the US and China.

So what exactly are you crying about? Japan supposedly has 700 years of deep-sea rare earths. Australia has critical minerals. The U.S. has its framework. Then use them. You cannot spend years preaching “de-risking from China” and then panic the moment China actually lets you de-risk.

It would be a huge miscalculation to assume that Iran will just stand idle and watch the United States and Israel target its infrastructure and attempt to topple its political establishment. Both Washington and Tel Aviv are driven by electoral and political motives, not genuine strategic calculation: Israelis vote in six days, Americans in thirteen. Iran will deploy all its means to make any attack prohibitively costly. A third wave of war would not stay contained. Power grids, desalination plants, refineries and ports across the region would burn. Tens of millions would be left without water or electricity, and a massive wave of refugees would move from Arab countries towards Europe. Hormuz would close completely, oil would spike, and the global economy would tip into recession. Israel's economy, already bled by mobilisation and missile fire, would not survive a prolonged war of attrition. And Trump would be trapped in a crisis that consumes the rest of his presidency and leaves a wreck for his successors. A state facing an existential threat knows no boundaries. Even the ICJ's 1996 Nuclear Weapons Advisory Opinion affirmed "the fundamental right of every State to survival." The Court also could not declare even the most extreme means unlawful where "the very survival of a State would be at stake."

@StealthQE4 Emergency war powers baby

That’s what their politicians always resort to when they fuck up- blame Singapore. That’s why they are slow to progress, instead of reflecting on where they went wrong, they use Singapore as a convenient scapegoat. Its a loser’s mindset. This is also where the younger generation need to see the reason why we serve NS.
