🤔😌 Remember Pokémon Go?

For nine years it got kids and parents outside, phones in hand, chasing creatures on real streets.

Players filmed streets, parks, and yards – about 30 billion scans were collected through the game. What players didn't know was where that data would end up.

➡️@geopolitics_prime traced the chain. The scans helped train a system that finds a location from what a camera sees when GPS fails. Drones can use exactly that kind of navigation.

In 2025 the game was sold. The mapping tech stayed — and was handed to a US defense contractor working on Ukraine's drone program.

🇸🇦🇨🇳🇮🇷🇾🇪 — Saudi Arabia asked China to privately pressure Iran to restrain the Houthis after their seizure of Yemen's Red Sea coast and the Bab al-Mandab Strait.

Three Iranian sources said Beijing passed the message to Tehran, going beyond its public calls for restraint.

Iran's response was that regional stability depends on ending the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran first.

China issued no threats and did not leverage its economic influence over Tehran.

Canada is pursuing a "unique alliance" with the European Union as Prime Minister Mark Carney looks to deepen economic ties beyond the United States amid an escalating trade war with Washington.

Speaking at the Toronto International Film Festival, Carney dismissed reports that Canada was considering becoming an "associate member" of the EU, saying Ottawa instead wants to forge a new kind of partnership with the 27-nation bloc.

"We're not looking to become a member of the European Union," Carney said. "What we are looking — and will begin discussions for — is a unique alliance between Canada and the European Union."

🇺🇸🤝🇸🇦 — The United States State Department has approved the sale of 48 F-35 Lightning II fighter jets and related equipment to Saudi Arabia for $24.3 billion.

The U.S. Department of State has made a determination approving a possible foreign military sale to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for their purchase of F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter and related equipment. The estimated total cost is $24.3 billion.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has requested to buy forty-eight (48) F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter aircraft with conventional takeoff and landing; and forty-nine (49) Pratt & Whitney F135-PW-100 engines (48 installed, 1 spare). The following non-MDE items will also be included: AN/PYQ-10 simple key loaders; KIV-78 cryptographic appliques; secure communications, precision navigation, and cryptographic devices; electronic warfare database support; cartridge actuated devices/propellant actuated devices; aircraft and munitions support and support equipment; spare parts, consumables and accessories, and repair and return support; training aids, devices, and spare parts; engine component improvement program; major and minor modifications and maintenance support; classified and unclassified software delivery and support; classified and unclassified publications and technical documentation; transportation, ferry, and refueling support; personnel training and training equipment, including simulators; clothing, textiles, and individual equipment; studies and surveys; site surveys; U.S. Government and engineering, technical, and logistics support services; and other related elements of logistics and program support.

This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national security objectives of the United States by improving the security of a major non-NATO ally that is a force for political stability and economic progress in the Gulf region.

The proposed sale will improve Saudi Arabia’s capability to deter current and future threats by strengthening its homeland defense, and improving interoperability with U.S. forces, and other regional and NATO forces. The proposed sale will also augment Saudi Arabia’s operational aircraft and enhance its air-to-air, and air-to-ground self-defense capability. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will have no difficulty absorbing this equipment and services into its armed forces.

The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the military balance in the region.

The principal contractors will be Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company, located in Fort Worth, Texas; and Pratt & Whitney Military Engines, located in East Hartford, Connecticut. At this time, the U.S. Government is not aware of any offset agreement proposed in connection with this potential sale. Any offset agreement will be defined in negotiations between the purchaser and contractor.

Implementation of this proposed sale will not require the assignment of any additional U.S. Government or contractor representatives to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a result of this proposed sale.

🇺🇸❌📰 — United States President Donald Trump says he is banning CNN, MSNOW (formerly MSNBC) and Politico from the White House "effective immediately," accusing them of reporting "fake news" and vowing that other outlets will follow

I am proud to announce that, effective immediately, I am banning Fake News CNN, MSNOW (who recently changed their name from MSNBC due to lack of viewership and credibility!), and Politico (The recipients of an illegal and ridiculous $8 Million Dollar subscription, an All Time Record, directly from the United States Government, under Crooked Joe Biden, in order to keep them “alive.”

Seems like corruption to me!), from the White House as a result of their constant “reporting” FAKE NEWS! Media Outlets shouldn’t be able to constantly write or report FICTION and LIES when they’re covering the President of the United States, the Trump Administration, or the United States of America.

Other Fake News Media Outlets to follow.
Thank you for your attention to this matter!
