China and Russia are the perfect symbiotic relationship. China imports huge amounts of Russian energy (red) and exports tons of goods to Russia (blue) that keep its war economy going. This surge in trade only began after Russia invaded Ukraine. China is Putin's biggest enabler...
Quite alarming
If I was 50 years old in Italy, I'd start wondering who will pay my state-funded pension. You need either economic growth, acceptance of high migration or healthy demographics. Italy has none of the three. What will give?
@rshereme one more thing, he got Trump's blessing on all this last friday.
Domestic equity holdings among pension funds now account for just 4% of UK equities. This is a fact that cannot be allowed to continue if the UK is serious about nurturing the eco system that surrounds its domestic stock exchange. #AIM #FTSE #LSE #StockMarket

Denmark deserves a medal. They are 4th worldwide in total monetary value of military aid to Ukraine. Almost as high as the UK (!) Almost half of what Germany has done (!) Denmark's population is only 6 million. (UK has ~ 11 times more people, GER ~ 14)

When Russia started the war against Ukraine, we were a substantial group that called for the West imposing a no-fly zone as in Iraq. Now, the US, UK & France have proven that it was perfectly possible with regard to Israel. Why did they refuse to protect Ukraine?/1
@Faytuks If you do anything we'll totally hit something next time.
Serbia is preparing a massive pivot away from Russia with a €3bn order for a dozen French Rafale fighter jets. Per a Serbian official quoted by the Financial Times "Due to geopolitical circumstances now it is not even feasible — even if you wish — to buy from Russia"
Good question indeed….
Got the Rome-Naples fast train last week. Nice big comfy seats, plenty of space, and on time. Cost £12. Europeans must be utterly baffled by ours trains.

I have a horrible feeling that very soon the lessons all states are going to learn from this world wide crisis is that if you have nuclear weapons, you are protected. If you don’t, you are made to suffer. And that means nuclear weapons will be developed wherever possible.
At first glance reported Iranian attacks on Israel violate Napoleon's dictum "Never interrupt your enemy when he's making a mistake." This will change the narrative and create new support for Israel. All of which raises the question: Why did Iran widen the war at this moment?
We now have 13 EU sanctions packages against Russia, yet this is the reality: exports from Germany (and many other EU countries) to countries across Central Asia and the Caucasus are at all-time highs. These goods are obviously going to Russia. Time to stop this once and for all.
⚡️The Russian military has largely replaced its heavy battlefield losses in Ukraine, and at a much faster pace than anticipated, said General Christopher Cavoli, the top U.S. commander in Europe, in a written statement to Congress on April 11. kyivindependent.com/us-general-say…
