NATO and the EU beat the war drums: “Russia will attack. Stay with us, and we'll protect you.” It's a mafia protection racket.

Economically, Russia has no reason to invade Europe. Europe has nothing Russia needs. Historically, it's been the other way around.

Kallas says "Our problem is that Russia is not keeping to those agreements."

But Merkel came out saying that they never intended to honor the Minsk Agreement, it was just being used to buy time for Ukraine to build an army.

Very thought-provoking argument by Louis-Vincent Gave @gave_vincent, co-founder and CEO of Gavekal (one of the most respected macro research firms on China).

His argument - which is correct - is that one of the The biggest problem for Western governments today (be it France, the UK, the US) is the rapidly rising cost of funding their debt.

He says that governments have 3 broad ways to get it under control:

1) Austerity, cutting spending massively, which basically no politician wants to do because it makes you massively unpopular

2) Specific to the US, they could dramatically reduce AI data center spending, which soaks up a huge share of the world’s capital and pushes up borrowing costs for everyone, governments included. Not good either since it kills the AI boom.

3) Or, they can go back to embracing China, which he calls "the one deflationary force in the world today." He says it's by far the easiest path, and policymakers always take the easiest path.

Louis-Vincent argues that's exactly what Mark Carney (“the least dumb of the western leaders today,” in Gave’s words) did when he opened Canada to Chinese cars: it's a cheap and easy way to fight inflation, and to reduce the cost of funding Canada’s debt in the process.

It's fairly ironic when you think about it: you can actually find plenty of quotes by Western officials castigating China for "exporting deflation" (like Klaas Knot from the European Central Bank here: https://t.co/Kl9W8QaA3U). Louis-Vincent’s argument is basically that, sooner or later, folks in Western finance ministries are going to look at bond yields, then at the inflation numbers, then at all those speeches about China exporting deflation, and go like: "wait a minute..." 😏

PLS SHARE!

Court locked up a woman medic who was saving Ukrainian men yesterday. Did not give her bail.

Zelensky’s office head Ermak has a $10,000,000 house - he’s free.

Zelensky’s best friend stole $110,000,000 on energy protection - he’s chilling at the beach in Israel.

All of Zelensky’s buddies charged with corruption walked on bail...

But Zelensky wants to destroy a defenseless woman who dared to tell the truth and go against the system.

Him and his crooks tried to do the same to me.

Someone’s gotta help us stop them.

🇺🇦 Who is the woman the Zelensky regime arrested after she exposed an Azov prison near Kiev?

This is Valentina Moloda receiving a state award in Ukraine, honored as a physician of the highest category, plastic surgeon, clinic owner and one of the country's top 100 doctors. She also heads an international association of aesthetic medicine physicians.

On November 2, she arrived by ambulance at the Azov prison in Petropavlovskaya Borshchagovka and raised the alarm about the men held inside. Relatives said they were beaten and denied treatment, and Moloda reported injuries as severe as necrosis.

Moloda is now in custody, suspected of organizing mass riots. Kirill Budanov, head of Zelensky's office, claims she isn't a medical professional, while Kiev's media and the Mirotvorets database have branded her a "Russian operative."

When it's not incompetence you're only left with malevolence.

[Professor Richard A. Werner @ProfessorWerner]

It's now widely condirned that the attempted coup d'etat by Donald Tusk, backed by the dictatorial EU Commissars, was carried out in part using German military & German police, moving about in Warsaw, Poland's capital.

This is not normal.

Germany the reliable tool of dictators

[Glenn Diesen @Glenn_Diesen]

The political-media establishment has a busy day ahead: whitewashing Zelensky’s torture chambers, downplaying the revelations, and making sure the story disappears from public view.

[Chay Bowes @BowesChay]

Who is Radosław Sikorski, Poland’s Foreign Minister, the cheerleader for Tusks coup attempt, the ally of Zelensky, the man who openly thanked Biden for destroying Nordstream.

He’s a former journalist (MI6?), Oxford grad, and political player, guess what, hes also old college mates with Boris the butcher Johnson from their elitist Oxford Bullingdon Club days (pictured)

He’s a globalist, plain and simple. Married to Democrat CIA linked journalist Anne Applebaum, Sikorski’s big on NATO and Brussels, but a lot less so on Poland’s own interests.

He also, like Zurabishvili in Georgia, convieniently dropped his British (she dropped her French) citizenship when it helped his Polish career.

He doesnt work for Poland or its people.

[Martin A. Armstrong @ArmstrongEcon]

To make this absolutely clear, Donald Tusk has NEVER been directly elected by the Polish people as president; he has been elected as Prime Minister by the Polish parliament only.

The people have no right to actually elect the head of state so he becomes a defacto dictator elected only by bureaucrats, not the people. He previously served as Prime Minister from 2007 to 2014 and was re-elected by parliament in 2011.

🚨🇵🇱 Poland's constitutional crisis just took another rather EXTRAORDINARY TURN

President Karol Nawrocki was reportedly ALMOST BLOCKED from landing in Warsaw after abruptly turning his plane around to confront the crisis at the Constitutional Tribunal.

According to reports aired on Polish television, someone allegedly wanted his presidential aircraft denied access to the military section of Warsaw's airport and diverted to another city.

The remarkable part: journalists claim the MILITARY REFUSED to follow orders from above, allowing the president to land.

Nawrocki did make it back to Warsaw, where he confronted the escalating dispute over the country's highest constitutional court.

Now the rather serious question is WHO allegedly tried to prevent Poland's own president from returning to his capital.

And whether such an order was ever actually issued.
