Contrast between Ukraine / NATO allies and Russia wrt to war could not be more stark. Former is constantly pushing on accelerator pedal to achieve its objectives and latter continues to move at a relative snail's pace, which is making the former push harder on accelerator pedal.

4 years later and that's precisely what the BRICS and others are now looking at.

Let's qualify this.

Now called digital currencies and nothing to do with bitcoin

The clown show that never ends. This is in a league of its own.

US and EU are considering climate-based tariffs wrt to Chinese steel and aluminium

Xi: Jiang Zemin pushed for a multipolar world when leading China.

That's true, as I have stated many times my western friends, who were the architects and visionaries of multipolarity, met the Chinese in the late 90s.

Recent interview with @KinesisMonetary out on Friday.

Just because there is all this $ denominated debt outstanding in world doesn't necessarily mean there will be future demand for $s. Instead there's going to be biblical default because it is totally unsustainable.

Russian oil production for January to November was up 2% y/y.

In yet another non-provocative move by Washington and to protect the freedoms of the American people 7000 miles away, the US intends selling 100 advanced Patriot missiles to Taiwan.

Another indication of the empire on the edge of collapse.

I see the Russia oil for gold story is doing the rounds again.

As we said last time and now this time, Russia is not going to do anything of the sort at this time.

The price cap is utterly irrelevant. Not a single barrel of Russian oil will sold at that price.

Saudi and China will sign 20 agreements worth in excess of 110bn riyals during the visit of Xi to Riyadh.

We have been discussing the rotation east of Saudi since 2016.

It just never ends.

So let's buy far more expensive US gas instead of Russian gas to resolve the cost of living crisis.

As we have said on many occasions previously, Europe is struggling to take more Ukrainian refugees. It is why if e.g. Kiev had to be abandoned due to total destruction of infrastructure the war would end.

Estonia is now refusing to accept a new wave of refugees from Ukraine.

The rotation continues to ASEAN. Soon increasing to other areas of the Global South.

China Jan-Nov trade:

ASEAN +15.5% y/y to 5.9tn yuan

EU +7% y/y to 5.2tn yuan

US +4.8% y/y to 4.6tn yuan

South Korea +4.7% y/y to 2.2tn yuan

There are alt media people who pretend to defend your freedoms whilst deliberately feeding you an endless diet of lies drenched in fear to make you feel helpless. Privately they also laugh at you fo falling for this.

These people are reprehensible and a disgrace to humanity.

UK house prices fell for a third consecutive month and at the fastest pace in 14 years.

Average house prices fell 2.3% between October and November, the largest monthly drop since October 2008.

Hungary has blocked an €18bn package of EU financial support for Ukraine.

Brussels clearly then had a temper tantrum and put on hold a decision over Budapest’s access to €5.8bn worth of Covid-19 recovery funds.

Highly significant.

Chinese buyers of nickel wish to use the Shanghai Futures Exchange instead of the LME for 2023 pricing.
