Here's what the Trump regime posted on social media. China has conducted nuclear explosive tests, including preparing for tests with designated yields in the hundreds of tons. China has used decoupling, a method to decrease the effectiveness of seismic monitoring to hide its activities from the world. China conducted one such yield producing nuclear test on June 22, 2020. Let's pause there. Who is in office then? Oh wait. Donald goes on to say the confluence of factors, serial Russian violations, growth of worldwide stockpiles and flaws in new starts design and implementation gives the United States a clear imperative to call for a new architecture that addresses the threats of, not those of a bygone error. As throughout our history, the United States has maintained a willingness to seek strategic stability and arms control arrangements that are verifiable, enforceable and contribute to the security of the United States and her allies. What we are proposing is not talks for the sake of talks. With this effort, the United States is looking for meaningful progress based on concrete actions. Now, if that sounds like a bunch of word salad and gibberish, it mostly is word salad and gibberish. But what they're essentially saying is we believe that China launched the test in 2020, okay, while Trump was in office in his first administration, we didn't say anything about it, but we knew they did a test when Trump was in office the first time. So now in 2026, because we've learned about that, the United States wants to do the same. And whereas in the past the United States did not do nuclear testing and the United States would try to lead the world in saying denuclearization, now we're going to ramp things up because we believe that China has been violating the prior START treaties, which China denies. So that's basically what that message is. And saying let's do a nuclear weapons arms race again. And then so I know with all the horrible things that Donald Trump's posting posting, it's hard to pay attention to everything, right? You know, he's posting photos of former President Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama with their faces photoshopped on apes, and then blaming it on a staffer after saying that it was done intentionally, then saying it was done intentionally after blaming it on the staffer. And then you have Donald Trump doing all that stuff. But you know, he's posting about nuclear war on social media, which if former President Obama or Biden or Bush or Clinton did that, everyone would be like, my God. But with Donald Trump, our media is like, like, whatevs, whatevs. Did he apologize for doing the photo of Obama? Actually, he didn't apologize. He said he's not sorry. I did a video on it this morning as well, where he goes, what would I apologize for? But here's what Trump posted. The United States is the most powerful country in the world. Okay, why you need to say that over and over again? I completely rebuilt its military in my first term. You completely rebuilt the military? What are you talking. It's the stupidest thing. You didn't rebuild anything, including new and many reforms. Refurbished nuclear weapons. We all remember that, don't we? That's another lie. I also added Space Force and now continue to rebuild our military at levels never seen before. We are even adding battleships which are 100 times more powerful than the ones that roamed the seas during World War II. Well, yeah, we're in 2026. I would hope they're more powerful. And we have aircraft carriers. Why are you doing battleships? Like, do you realize why we moved to aircraft carriers? And like, the way modern warfare has developed with drones? Okay, you're building battleships. Got it. Then I've stopped nuclear wars from breaking out across the world between Pakistan, India, Iran and Israel and Russia and Ukraine. So not only is he saying he stopped eight wars, he stopped nuclear wars. He's saying, ah, yes, I forgot about that. But thank you for reminding me that you stopped all these nuclear wars. Then Trump goes, rather than extend new start, a badly negotiated deal by the United States, aside from everything else, is being grossly violated. We should have our nuclear experts work on a new, improved and modernized treaty that can last long into the future. Thank you for your attention to this matter. President Donald J. Trump. Now, I think that gives you new context, right, for what that post means now that you know what's actually going on behind the scenes, that Trump is increasing the nuclear arsenal and he wants to do nuclear testing in America by saying China's engaged in that as well. But, you know, you take a look at what China's also saying here. And China is warning the US that moving ahead with any new arm sales to Taiwan could Derail Trump's planned April 2026 visit to Beijing. This warning followed a recent Trump Xi phone call where Xi Jinping stressed Taiwan is China's top red line and urged extreme caution on arms sales. The US Is reportedly considering another major defensive package for Taiwan. Now, one of the issues is, is that Xi Jinping realizes that Donald Trump is so utterly thirsty for a state visit to see Xi Jinping, and Trump would be so embarrassed if he gets disinvited. Xi Jinping has already met with Prime Minister Keir Starmer of UK And Prime Minister Carney of Canada, and he's met with French President Emmanuel Macron and so many others, you know, but, you know, Trump's like, I've got to do this meeting. So Xi Jinping's holding this above Trump's head, this meeting above Trump's head and saying, you can't help Taiwan, basically. So we'll follow that development right there. And then you have Germany's Chancellor Friedrich Merz, who said, I don't want to conduct talks with Russia that lead to results like Russia bombing a children's hospital in Kiev. Those are my bright red lines, and that's the European Union's bright red lines in Canada. We're happy to talk in good faith, but if at the end of all of these negotiations that are taking place, you know, or these fake negotiations that are taking place, it just part of Donald Trump's plan to allow Russia to kill Ukrainians and take over Ukraine, Germans, like, we're not doing it. We're always prepared to talk to Russia. We're fine to talk, but we will not open parallel negotiation channels. The key to ending this war lies with Moscow. And I think he's putting down a real marker right there. I'm not going to show the whole speech here because this video is running long and I think you get the point. But check out Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez speech that he gave where he talks about Internet security and the pushback against people like Elon Musk and Facebook and other platforms and limiting the access of children under the age of like 16, 15 from accessing social media. And Spain, like Europe, coming down hard on social media platforms that allow any type of underage sexualization or anything like that. It was a powerful, long speech, powerful speech, but I thought it was really powerful. But I wanted to highlight those international developments for you. So hit subscribe. We appreciate you.
