Alt text: Screenshot of a post on X (formerly Twitter) by Abdulkhaleq Abdulla (@Abdulkhaleq_UAE), with a verified badge. The post reads: โThis is what I told Reuters today: The UAE no longer needs America to defend it, as it has proven during the Iranian aggression that it is capable of defending itself with distinction. What the UAE needs is to acquire only the best and latest weapons that America has. Therefore, it is time to think about closing the American bases, as they are a burden and not a strategic asset.โ The post is labeled โTranslated from Arabic by Grokโ and shows a timestamp of 10:21 AM ยท 4/19/26 with 139K views.
NEW: UAE scholar Abdulkhaleq Abdulla says the UAE no longer needs U.S. protection, calling American bases a โburden, not a strategic assetโ and suggesting they should be closed. The United Statesโ standing in the region has been obliterated.

โMassive corruption going on in the White House. The Swiss gave [Trump] a personalized gold barโฆ Qatar gave him a jumbo jetโฆ [Trump] pardoned a criminal because that personโฆhelps his family with crypto. The amount of corruption isโฆ unconscionable.โ

Wow. To hear a Catholic priest make the connection from the Trump administration to โwhite Christian nationalismโ is ๐ฅ
But letโs not pretend this is new. Christianity was used to justify slavery, and now the right uses Christianity to justify racism.
I appreciate a priest saying it out loud.

Aaron Astor: My general tendency is to reject conspiracy theories. And yet, this keeps happening - massive trades just minutes before Trump announces something. And that something (Iran handing over uranium and opening Hormuz) often turns out not to be true at all.
