The president correctly named China as the leader in the global wind turbine manufacturers’ market. The country accounted for 65% of global wind capacity in 2023 and 74% of all large-scale solar and wind under construction in the first half of 2025.

Trump then moved to making the broader claim that China does not use any wind power inside the country, telling the press that Chinese windmills are made exclusively to be sold to “suckers like Europe.”

“All you have to do is say to China ‘How many windmill areas do you have in China?’ So far they are not able to find any,” said Trump. “They use coal and they use oil and gas and some nuclear, not much. But they don’t have windmills. They make them and sell them to suckers like Europe and suckers like the United States before.”

...................


China uses more wind power than almost every other nation combined. The country had an operating wind farm capacity of about 444,000 megawatts as of February 2025. That’s about 44% of the global total– nearly triple the capacity of the U.S. That number increased to almost 48% in 2024, as the installation of wind turbines in all countries excluding China dropped by 18%............................

🚨 IRAN'S SKY IS EMPTY -- AND THE WORLD JUST CLOSED ITS AIRSPACE TO TEHRAN 🚨

Something is going give fairly soon!!

🚨 IRAN’S SKY IS EMPTY — AND THE WORLD JUST CLOSED ITS AIRSPACE TO TEHRAN 🚨

This is not “routine disruption.”
This is a global pullback.
As protests erupt across all 31 provinces, the world’s airlines are shutting down routes into Iran at unprecedented scale.

Here is the full list:

✈️ UAE Airlines
• Emirates
• flydubai
• Etihad

✈️ Turkey
• Turkish Airlines
• AJet
• Pegasus
✈️ Qatar
• Qatar Airways
✈️ Other Regional and International Carriers
• Oman Air
• Kuwait Airways
• Bahrain’s Gulf Air
• Multiple charter and cargo operators
More than 17 Dubai to Iran flights were cancelled on January 9 alone.
Turkish Airlines cancelled over 20 flights citing “regional developments.”
Tabriz Airport suspended operations.
Nationwide NOTAM restrictions are in place.
Air defense systems are active and GPS jamming has been reported.
Internet blackout continues across Iran.

Iran Air is still flying, but delays and risks are increasing by the hour.
When airlines around the world pull out at the same time, it means one thing:
the country has entered crisis airspace.
The world is not just watching Iran.
The world is stepping away from it.

Want to buy a Happy Trump??



Mark Bland @markbland
This man is out of his mind. He is always on the grift. He is constantly babbling about things that are unimportant.

Would you rather know why he spent $700 million on a naval blockade in Venezuela?… or figure out which website to buy the Happy Trump?

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Dozens of masked men armed with sticks attacked a plant nursery and beat and injured a Palestinian in the occupied West Bank, according to people who saw the attack and video footage obtained by The Associated Press.

Video filmed by security cameras shows men dressed mostly in black, faces covered, with several hitting and kicking a man on the ground.

Two people who witnessed the attack and are members of the family that own the facility said Israeli settlers beat 67-year-old Basim Saleh Yassin as he was trying to flee the nursery located in the northern West Bank village of Deir Sharaf. Both spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisal.

They said Yassin is in the hospital and has broken bones in his hand and other injuries on his face, chest and back. Four cars were burned and destroyed at the nursery.............................
