Chinese state media blasts Trump’s tariff war, accuses U.S. of freeloading on globalization while Xi strengthens Asian alliances.

China lashes out at Trump’s economic nationalism, accusing the U.S. of hypocrisy as global trade realigns. Rare earths, aircraft, and semiconductors are next in this economic war.

Beijing just turned up the heat—and made it personal.

China Daily, the official mouthpiece of the Chinese Communist Party, has delivered a scathing editorial aimed squarely at Donald Trump, telling him to “stop whining” and stop pretending the U.S. is a victim of global trade. “The U.S. is not getting ripped off by anybody,” it declared. “It has been taking a free ride on globalization for decades.”

The insult isn’t just rhetorical—it’s strategic. Trump’s aggressive tariff campaign, which now includes up to 145% duties on Chinese imports, has sparked the fiercest economic duel in decades. But China isn’t retreating. Instead, it’s choking U.S. exporters and fueling regional alliances that sideline Washington altogether.

Xi Jinping’s surprise regional tour, now overlapping with this tariff escalation, is no coincidence. Xi is quietly building what he calls a “strategic alliance of destiny” with Malaysia and ASEAN countries. Translation: Beijing is done playing by Trump’s rules. While the U.S. ratchets up tariffs and threatens new probes into semiconductors, pharma, and rare earths, China is reinforcing control of critical global supply chains.

The stakes? Massive. The Hong Kong postal service just banned packages to the U.S., Boeing deals are stalling, and Chinese firms are moving supply lines away from American manufacturers. Rare earth export bans are already shaking markets, and Beijing’s shadow diplomacy is redrawing global trade corridors.

Trump says, “The ball is in China’s court.” But Beijing just spiked it—with force.

Bottom line: This is not just a trade war. It’s a global economic realignment. And China’s message to the world? America’s time as the global economic sheriff is over—and it has only itself to blame.

As Trump freezes $40B in foreign aid, Europe retreats too—fragile states brace for famine, failed states, and forgotten crises.

With USAID frozen and EU aid budgets slashed, NGOs warn of a coming storm. Displaced millions, collapsing health systems, and donor silence mark the next phase of global humanitarian collapse. 

What happens when the world’s biggest aid donors pack up and walk away? We’re about to find out.

The U.S. withdrawal from international aid under Trump’s second term has already gutted dozens of life-saving programs, slashing $40 billion in funding in 90 days and sending shockwaves through NGOs like the Danish Refugee Council (DRC). But Europe isn’t rushing in to fix the fallout—it’s retreating too.

EU countries from Germany to France, Italy and Spain are scaling down their aid commitments, with Berlin alone axing €2.6 billion in just two years. The UK, once a flagship donor, is forecast to sink to a record-low 0.23% of GNI on aid by 2027. Humanitarian funding is collapsing just as global displacement is projected to hit nearly 130 million by 2026.

The result? A growing vacuum of care in conflict zones, climate disaster areas, and fragile states—places like Afghanistan, Sudan, Cameroon, where water, food, and medicine are now disappearing overnight.

NGOs are bleeding out. The DRC alone has already laid off 1,400 staff and warned 2 million people will go unreached. In one stroke, internally displaced Afghans have lost access to clean water. Malnutrition efforts are collapsing. And minefields go uncleared in Colombia.

Even the EU’s much-hyped Global Gateway initiative—the answer to China’s Belt and Road—is too profit-driven to touch the most desperate places.

And while Western leaders posture about controlling migration, terrorism, and instability, they’re gutting the only tools that actually prevent it: resilience-building, gender rights, democracy support, and grassroots aid.

The U.S. is leading this charge backwards, and the EU is not far behind. What’s being left behind isn’t just budget lines—it’s millions of lives on the brink.

Ronen Bar plans to resign despite top court order to stay, as Netanyahu faces rising backlash over intelligence failures and Qatari backchannel scandal.

Shin Bet head Ronen Bar defies Supreme Court order and prepares to resign amid political firestorm and probe into Netanyahu aides’ Qatari ties. Israel’s intelligence chaos deepens. 

In a bold defiance of Israel’s highest court, Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar is planning to walk away—court ruling or not.

Despite the Supreme Court’s injunction demanding he stay in office until April 20, Bar has reportedly told close allies he’s done. The controversy around his post, he argues, is doing real harm to the agency’s core mission: intelligence and national security. That’s why, according to Channel 12, Bar will soon submit his resignation in writing, stating when he intends to leave, whether the government likes it or not.

But this isn’t just about one man leaving his post.

This is a political firestorm with national security consequences. Prime Minister Netanyahu moved to fire Bar weeks ago, citing “confidence issues.” But critics say the move reeks of political self-preservation. Shin Bet is currently investigating Netanyahu’s own aides over potential illicit ties to Qatar during sensitive diplomatic dealings—raising the specter of conflict of interest and interference.

Observers believe Netanyahu is scapegoating Bar to deflect blame for the catastrophic intelligence failures that preceded October 7, 2023—the day Hamas launched its devastating assault. And with Bar resisting the optics of being the fall guy, Israel’s intelligence community is now caught in a dangerous limbo.

This is no longer just about an agency chief. This is about the integrity of Israel’s national security—and whether the rule of law still holds in a government spiraling toward crisis.

Barre’s Las Anod visit escalates tensions as Mogadishu officially absorbs SSC-Khaatumo, redrawing the map and triggering a furious response from Hargeisa.

Somalia’s recognition of SSC-Khaatumo as a federal state ignites diplomatic warfare with Somaliland, which calls the move a blatant breach of sovereignty. 

What Somalia just did in Las Anod is nothing short of a diplomatic land grab.

In a public ceremony staged in the heart of Somaliland-controlled Las Anod, Somali Prime Minister Hamza Abdi Barre formally recognized SSC-Khaatumo as a federal member administration—a political act that Somaliland’s leadership considers a declaration of war.

“This is not a contested area,” Barre proclaimed, erasing decades of self-governance and territorial control exercised by Hargeisa. But behind the polished rhetoric lies a strategic offensive to reassert Somali federal power in the north—one backed by foreign defense deals, oil ambitions, and electoral manipulation.

SSC-Khaatumo’s leader Firdhiye, once a marginal actor, is now being handed a seat at the high-stakes National Consultative Council (NCC)—Mogadishu’s premier political forum. His inclusion signals Somalia’s intent to institutionalize the partitioning of Somaliland from within.

Barre didn’t come empty-handed. He came with funding promises, construction blueprints, and federal flags—launching new buildings, police HQs, and ID centers. This isn’t development—it’s occupation by bureaucracy.

Somaliland responded with fury, calling the move a blatant violation of sovereignty. And they’re right to sound the alarm. Because if SSC-Khaatumo’s “recognition” is allowed to stand, then the map of Somaliland could be erased by decree—not by war.

But there’s a legal twist. Somalia’s own provisional constitution requires a structured vetting process, which SSC-Khaatumo has not completed. There’s been no parliamentary ratification, no public consultation, no legal framework—just political theatre in a city under dispute.

The timing is no accident. Recognition of Somaliland is gaining steam internationally. This move is Somalia’s desperate attempt to block it—and to insert chaos into Hargeisa’s clearest shot at statehood in 30 years.

Barre’s visit to Las Anod wasn’t just political—it was tactical. Now Somaliland must decide: respond diplomatically—or prepare for a deeper confrontation.

Outrage erupts after Somaliland’s MFA entertains Turkish diplomats and fumbles response to Somalia PM’s Las Anod invasion—citizens demand answers, not excuses.
The Somaliland Ministry of Foreign Affairs is under fire after hosting Turkey’s ambassador and failing to deliver a clear response to Somalia’s Las Anod provocation. Public backlash explodes online.

What do you call a government that welcomes its enemy, excuses its occupier, and gaslights its own people? Somalilanders are asking just that.

After Somalia’s Prime Minister Hamse Barre walked unchallenged into Las Anod—deep in Somaliland territory—the Ministry of Foreign Affairs didn’t condemn it as an act of war. Instead, it hosted foreign diplomats for tea and soft words.

And the public? Exploded.

A statement from the ministry’s Director General, claiming to have briefed diplomats on Somaliland’s “position,” triggered a wave of public fury. Comments flooded in within minutes. The message wasn’t defiance—it was defeat dressed in diplomacy.

“Why are you dealing with NGOs instead of international legal experts?”
“This was not a visit—it was a violation of sovereignty!”
“Turkey is Somaliland’s number one enemy—why are you welcoming them in Hargeisa?”

The backlash is louder than ever. Somalilanders are done watching a weak MFA posture in the face of aggression. Many blasted the ministry’s engagement with Turkey, citing Ankara’s recent military agreements with Mogadishu, its support for drone strikes, and its outright refusal to acknowledge Somaliland passports.

It wasn’t just symbolic—the Turkish Ambassador to Somalia was received in Hargeisa. A man whose title literally erases Somaliland’s existence. Citizens are now calling for the closure of the Turkish consulate, the expulsion of Turkish officials, and a complete freeze in trade with Ankara.

Meanwhile, the ministry’s own credibility is in shambles. Earlier promises that the U.S. would stop Hamse’s trip? Never happened. Contradictory messaging and confusion over diplomatic status of ambassadors in Mogadishu? Still unresolved.

A senior Somaliland diplomat, writing on WARYATV, didn’t mince words:

“Turkey isn’t a neutral partner. It’s a declared enemy. Somaliland is being treated with disrespect, and this ministry is asleep.”

The people are angry, and the MFA is on trial—digitally, politically, and diplomatically. If Somaliland wants recognition, it needs more than polished statements. It needs courage, strategy, and unshakable clarity.

Because in the battle for sovereignty, words matter—and silence is betrayal.

Tibor Nagy slams Musk’s chaos-first reforms, warns that gutting USAID risks U.S. diplomacy, credibility, and global influence.

Former top U.S. diplomat Tibor Nagy blasts Elon Musk’s abrupt shutdown of USAID as reckless “chainsaw” policy that hurt diplomacy, endangered lives, and delighted America’s enemies.

Elon Musk’s “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) isn’t reforming America’s foreign policy machinery—it’s dismantling it with a flamethrower. And few know that better than Ambassador Tibor Nagy, the veteran diplomat who returned to the U.S. State Department just in time to watch Musk’s bureaucratic arson gut USAID, America’s global aid engine, overnight.

Instead of reform, we got a reckless, performative purge. Musk’s infamous tweet—“spent the weekend feeding USAID into the woodchipper”—wasn’t satire. It was policy. What followed was pandemonium: tens of thousands of aid workers stranded, contracts torched, food shipments halted, and emergency programs thrown into limbo. And for what? To satisfy a tech billionaire’s warped fantasy of government “efficiency” by humiliation and demolition.

Let’s be blunt: USAID has issues—bloated project pipelines, tangled chains of command, mixed priorities between diplomacy and development. But it also saves millions of lives, responds to famines and disasters, and builds long-term goodwill in fragile regions. It is not a place for “creative destruction”—it is the thin line between chaos and order in much of the world.

The collapse hit hardest in places like West Texas, where humanitarian logistics provider Breedlove found itself paralyzed. This wasn’t just a foreign affair—it was a domestic crisis too. Farmers, freight firms, contractors, and communities reliant on USAID’s global humanitarian machine were blindsided. Only after chaos erupted did State Department leadership step in to reanimate the programs Musk had gleefully killed.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio is now left flying blind, trying to project American leadership while the diplomatic engine is in pieces. As Nagy wryly notes, it’s not so much “flying while the engine is on fire” as rebuilding the engine midair during a nosedive.

Let’s be clear: America can’t afford Musk’s reckless improvisation in diplomacy. The world sees it as instability, unseriousness, and abandonment. Our adversaries—from Beijing to Mogadishu—see it as opportunity.

Reform is necessary. But it must be surgical, not suicidal. Strategic, not symbolic. And above all, it must serve U.S. interests, not viral tweets.

Why Somalia’s Prime Minister Hamza Abdi Barre Canceled His Visit to Lasanod?

Explore the critical implications behind the Somali Prime Minister’s fear amid rising military tensions and historical echoes.

Just when the complex political narrative in the Horn of Africa appears to be taking a new turn, perturbing developments have emerged regarding Somalia’s Prime Minister, Hamza Abdi Barre. His intended visit to Lasanod was abruptly canceled amid unsettling intelligence reports, citing fear for his security. The implications of this decision lay bare the profound tensions that exist not just within Somalia, but also in the broader context of geopolitical rivalries that could reshape the region’s future.

Sources have confirmed to WARYATV.com that Barre’s cancellation was no mere political maneuver. High-stakes intelligence indicated credible threats against his life, potentially stemming from the rapid advancements in Somaliland’s military capabilities. The integration of cutting-edge technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and advanced drone operations, supported by collaborations with foreign powers, has reshaped the strategic landscape. Such developments have not just concerned Barre; they have sent ripples of apprehension across Mogadishu.

The Somali Prime Minister’s fear is compounded by relative isolation in a world teetering on the brink of chaos. With Somalia’s historical traumas, such as the Isaaq genocide during the Barre regime, still echoing in the hearts of its populace, Barre’s recent rhetoric and support of groups like Hamas have raised eyebrows, drawing ire both locally and internationally. Today, Barre’s declaration that “Israelis and Jews are children of pigs and monkeys” reveals a veiled hypocrisy. While striving for international recognition, his comments risk alienating Somalia from crucial Western allies, jeopardizing aid that is essential for national recovery.

Somaliland, empowered by its new military capabilities, has established itself as a formidable regional player. The reports suggest that the Somali government is aware that Lasanod—an area that has historical ties to past conflicts—may not be a safe haven during Barre’s visit. Intelligence from former Israeli operatives and other sources indicates that there were plans to neutralize Barre in Lasanod, playing into the long-standing history of political assassinations in that city. The poisonous atmosphere of mistrust in Lasanod—a place marked by the tragic assassination of Somalia’s second president—creates a perfect storm of danger for Barre.

What makes this situation more precarious is the burgeoning collaboration between Somaliland and Israel, which promises to enhance intelligence capabilities. This strategic partnership not only empowers Somaliland militarily but also operationalizes the transfer of technology that could heighten the stakes for Somali politicians who would dare to encroach upon Somaliland’s sovereignty.

In the wake of these tensions, it raises important questions regarding the Somaliland government’s reticence about the imminent threats. While they have mobilized resources for defense and intelligence, why is there a lack of communication with their own populace concerning these risks? It could be argued that there exists an anxiety within the Somaliland elite about exposing their citizens to these realities, yet information is the bedrock of effective governance.

Somaliland has moved beyond survival; it is actively working towards recognition and self-determination. As foreign influences shape the geopolitical dynamics of the Horn of Africa, maintaining open channels of communication and fortifying civilian understanding is essential. By failing to do so, the government risks creating a populace ill-prepared for the eventuality of conflict or geopolitical shifts that could affect them directly.

Somalia’s political landscape may be fraught with the opportunism of its leaders, but it is also rife with genuine danger. With Barre’s recent remarks aligned with extremist views and the failure to address key local issues—such as the ongoing violence in Lasanod—the Prime Minister not only gambles with his political capital but also the well-being of the Somali people.

Should Barre’s government continue in its current trajectory, it risks further destabilization as external forces seek to exploit internal divisions. This developing conundrum should serve as a critical reminder to both the government and citizens of Somaliland of the larger conflicts that could soon come knocking at their door.

In conclusion, the cancellation of Hamza Abdi Barre’s visit to Lasanod reflects a broader crisis of governance, self-awareness, and regional stability. As Somaliland positions itself strategically in an era of technological warfare and geopolitical wrangling, the need for clarity, reassurance, and collective action from its leaders has never been more urgent. The stakes are too high for silence or complacency.
