@GintasKaralius @haugejostein Can you show me some examples Lula lecturing Europeans about NATO and Western hypocrisy when visting Europe ?? 🤡🤡

@haugejostein Oh come on. When non-Western leaders visit EU, they lecture Europeans about NATO, Western hypocrisy, and US hegemony while downplaying Russian imperialism and European security fears. Lula, Erdogan, Ramaphosa — all do it. But only Europeans are accused of “not reading the room.”

Not only does Kaja Kallas whitewash US imperialism in Latin America, but she does so in a speech delivered in Mexico — one of the region’s fiercest critics of US imperialism. The lack of self-awareness is astonishing. It is embarrassing that this is Europe’s top diplomat.

@SSMinnow285069 @_BTCStrategist @KobeissiLetter China has pioneered heaps of new tech for their EV batteries, that is why they are so dominant in this field.

@ManhQuang123 @_BTCStrategist @KobeissiLetter Apple literally pioneered the modern day smartphone, as well as the personal (mass-market) desktop computer.

China's chip exports are surging: China's chip exports jumped +100% YoY in April, to a record ~$31 billion. This figure has TRIPLED over the last 2 years. At the same time, overseas sales of laptops, tablets, and their components jumped +47% YoY. Goldman Sachs and Nomura estimate that semiconductors, computers, and other AI-related products accounted for ~50% of China's export growth last month. In total, Chinese exports rose +14% YoY in April, to $359 billion, the highest monthly reading on record. Put differently, Chinese companies were generating ~$500 million in export revenue every hour on average last month. China's economy is evolving with AI.

@SSMinnow285069 @_BTCStrategist @KobeissiLetter That is already few decades ago, but Iphone still hot selling. Apple copy heaps of things from competitor, rebrand + make it better, that is the thing that matters.

@SSMinnow285069 @_BTCStrategist @KobeissiLetter Doesnt matter. Look at Apple, they didnt need pioneer that much but the sales speak for itself. Qe are talking about industry capacity, if they copy and improve it, then so what.

@ManhQuang123 @_BTCStrategist @KobeissiLetter The whole Chinese EV industry is an attempt to copy Tesla. Who pioneered electric cars (and what country pioneered gas combustion engines)?

@SSMinnow285069 @_BTCStrategist @KobeissiLetter What ate you smoking. Definitely not in auto. Not event healthcare and tech in general. Only space, airplane and top tier microchips

@ManhQuang123 @_BTCStrategist @KobeissiLetter Industrial capacity does not = greater GDP. We lead in space, auto, airplane, defense, technology, health, etc.

@simplefintips @ZDubuya @KobeissiLetter But in a month it will probably drop to 300 million, no ? Unless some deal are being made ....

@ZDubuya @KobeissiLetter

US oil inventories are collapsing: Total US crude inventories, including the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR), fell by -17.8 million barrels last week, the largest weekly drawdown in history. Commercial crude inventories fell -7.9 million barrels, the biggest decline since mid-February. Furthermore, the SPR alone shed -9.9 million barrels, the largest weekly drain on record. This marks the 8th consecutive weekly decline, the longest streak in 3 years. Since the Iran War began, 42 million barrels, or 10% of the entire US SPR, have been drained, mostly via exports to Asia. The SPR now stands at 374 million barrels, the lowest since July 2024, leaving the US with a significantly reduced buffer against future supply shocks. The US emergency oil cushion is disappearing faster than at any point in history.

@_BTCStrategist @KobeissiLetter They already is. Look at their industrial capacity.

@KobeissiLetter Will China ever be the number 1 economy in the world at some point? That’s the question 👀

@ilujandro @gangstaproger @agafoncevoleg @basilaev_oloxoy Because exchange rate can fluctuate a lot and lots of country deliberately weaken/strengthen their currency for various reasons.

@gangstaproger @agafoncevoleg @basilaev_oloxoy И чем же ППС более объективный? Тебе компьютер и смартфон со скидкой продают, потому что рубль недооценён по отношению к доллару? Бедным странам самолёты или нефть дешевле достаются, чем развитым и богатым?

Россия занимает 4 место в мире по ВВП после Китая, США и Индии

@EsqHardy @BrianMcDonaldIE Fertilizer, wheat, metal ...

@BrianMcDonaldIE What are the exports besides oil and gas?

If that happens, the Russian state has a major problem. A stronger ruble makes nominal GDP look bigger in dollar terms, but it also means exports brings in fewer rubles. Great for bullsh*t league tables, and Russians travelling abroad. Really bad for the budget.

@BrianMcDonaldIE Remember Biden said he was turning ruble into rubble ? What happen ?

This is bad for Putin, not good for him. If Trump genuinely wanted to help the Kremlin economically, this isn't how he would do it. A very strong ruble squeezes Russia’s budget because the state earns much of its export revenue in foreign currency while spending in rubles. The weaker the ruble, the easier it is for the Kremlin to finance itself.

@Burak_Keskin85 @DD_Geopolitics For the record, the summary on that page seems to be generated by AI. In the same summary it also said "... sees inflation expectations easing from their assessment in the previous meeting, adding room for looser financial conditions"

Thanks for the link bro, you literally exposed the russian economy with your own hands. The text clearly states that pro inflationary risks are too high and there might not be room for more cuts. On top of that, it admits they had to hike taxes to finance the war. Who cares about a 14.5% rate when the government is draining the budget, oil refineries are burning daily, and the Black Sea fleet is hiding underwater? You totally played yourself trying to make a point.

🇷🇺 Russia's ruble is the world's best-performing currency this quarter, up 12% against the dollar since April and now trading at ₽70 — its strongest level since February 2023, according to Bloomberg data.

@Burak_Keskin85 @DD_Geopolitics You keep moving the goal post hey 🤡🤡 You literally said that they hike up to 16% and keep at fix at 16%, which is clearly wrong. "oil refineries are burning daily, and the Black Sea fleet is hiding underwater" => wtf is this, nothing todo with the initial point of discussion.

@Burak_Keskin85 @DD_Geopolitics Actually was peaked at 21%, not 20%

@Burak_Keskin85 @DD_Geopolitics It was as high as 20%. Now it down to 14.5% so they have been lowering it slowly 🤡🤡tradingeconomics.com/russia/interes…

@Burak_Keskin85 @DD_Geopolitics Yeah they want both a weaker ruble and a lower rate. So if the central bank follow it they would lower the rate quicker. However, the lower rate may introduce an inflation issue, please educate yourself first 🤡🤡

Are you living in an alternate reality? 😂 Russian central bank didn't lower any rates, they hiked it up to 16% to stop hyperinflation and kept it locked there because they are terrified of a total collapse. If they lower the rates, the ruble turns into toilet paper instantly. First you say government wants a weaker ruble, now you say they want to support the economy with lower rates? Your own arguments are contradicting each other.

@Burak_Keskin85 @DD_Geopolitics The central bank is slowly lowering the rate, please check your fact. The issue is interest is still high so they cant lower it quick enough. The government want much lower rate to support the economy + weaken the ruble. Check your fact again please

@ManhQuang123 @DD_Geopolitics A country that sells oil in dollars and imports tech in yuan losing currency value is not a competitive advantage, it’s economic suicide. Go check why their central bank is desperately hiking rates to keep the ruble from crashing.

@alarik3000 @DD_Geopolitics High interest rate + lot of additional export income from rising commodities price.

@DD_Geopolitics How

@Burak_Keskin85 @DD_Geopolitics Not really, their government actually wants the ruble to be much weaker so that export is more competitive + budget deficit is lower.

Don't be fooled by the russian central bank's artificial manipulation and strict capital controls. What's the point of a currency looking strong on paper when it's not freely traded and citizens can't even exchange it? Just today, your own MP admitted in parliament that 40% of the budget is wasted on war and the economy is near collapse. Fake numbers on a chart cannot hide the real inflation on the streets.

@Baltaza54263030 @ravenobsid9206 @clashreport If an Iraq ship goes to Pakistan through Iran + Pakistan territorial water, will the US want to intercept them ?

I don’t believe rail transport can realistically replace maritime oil and gas routes. It may be viable for some categories of goods, but not for energy exports on that scale. The most practical solution would probably be an arrangement in which Iran allows transit without fees or tolls. Under such conditions, the U.S. would have far less reason to intervene.

Iraq and Pakistan have reached separate agreements with Iran to secure oil and LNG shipments through the Strait of Hormuz. Iraq reportedly secured safe passage for two oil tankers, while Pakistan arranged LNG deliveries from Qatar via Iran-approved routes. Iran is said to be shifting from blocking Hormuz to controlling access, with other countries now exploring similar deals. Source: Reuters
