🇺🇦🇷🇺🇰🇵 Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has warned that Russia is preparing for a major escalation of the war, including a new wave of mobilization and deeper military cooperation with North Korea.

According to Zelensky, Ukrainian intelligence has obtained comprehensive information on Moscow's plans for the autumn. He stated that Vladimir Putin is laying the groundwork for an expanded mobilization, preparing to send more Russians into the war while masking the effort through different rhetoric and political messaging.

Zelensky also claimed that Russia intends to receive an additional 30,000 North Korean troops, with preparations reportedly underway in Russia's Voronezh region to accommodate their arrival.

In addition, he said North Korea is preparing to supply Russia with new ballistic missile launch systems, while Moscow continues to help Pyongyang improve its military capabilities by providing battlefield experience, weapons development, and operational expertise.

Zelensky concluded by saying that Ukraine is aware of these plans and will continue to resist them.

If these assessments prove accurate, they would signal a significant deepening of the Russia-North Korea military partnership. Beyond reinforcing Russia's manpower, the cooperation could accelerate North Korea's military modernization by exposing its forces and weapons to real combat conditions, creating long-term security implications that extend far beyond the war in Ukraine.

The moment you realize how important your next 5 years are going to be

🤡 Russia is ready to end the war “by the end of the day” if Ukraine agrees to Moscow’s terms — this is how Kremlin spokesman Peskov commented on the proposal by the President of Kazakhstan to “freeze” the war.

According to him, the main thing for the Kremlin is “achieving the goals that have been set,” and if Kyiv makes the “appropriate decisions,” hostilities could allegedly cease as early as today.

In a situationship with my own potential

Iranian regime-linked propaganda channels have begun threatening Ukraine with ballistic missile strikes.

The threats follow Ukraine's overnight strikes on two vessels in the Caspian Sea that were reportedly being used to transport military cargo between Russia and Iran.

Decide that you do not lose. rewire your mind into thinking you are someone who always wins. you either get the result, or you take the lesson, sharpen yourself and come back harder. expect to win. take the risk. make the move. if life hits you, absorb the blow and keep moving. this may sound stupid to most, but those who get it will win. before it happens in reality, it happens in your mind. you are a winner. you win. you do not lose. you are undefeatable. you are a champion. you’ve got this bro.

🚨 Trump Is Forced to Play Nice With Xi Jingping and Here’s the Terrifying Reason

The AI Empire Is built on two FATAL WEAKNESSES… AND CHINA HOLDS BOTH.

Every major tech giant Apple, NVIDIA, AMD, Google, Amazon, Tesla, Qualcomm is completely dependent on ONE company for the most advanced chips on Earth: TSMC in Taiwan.

The entire AI era? The GPUs training ChatGPT, the chips powering data centers, autonomous cars, and the next wave of superintelligence? Overwhelmingly manufactured by TSMC.

But it gets darker‼️

China controls the world’s rare earth materials. Mining ~60%, processing ~90%, and producing 94% of the critical magnets.

These aren’t optional. They’re essential for the semiconductors, cooling systems, hard drives, and high-performance magnets that make AI hardware possible.

The U.S. is desperately short and still heavily reliant on Beijing for these minerals.

Now picture this: China moves on Taiwan → seizes the world’s chip factory. At the same time, it weaponizes rare earth exports (as it already did in response to Trump’s tariffs). Instant double chokehold on America’s economy, military, and AI future.

China is also able to produce sufficient energy supply, which leads to cheaper pricing for AI Models that are equally strong(except Fable).

That’s why even Trump is forced to court better relations with Xi because the U.S. needs those rare earths flowing for the exploding AI demand, while racing to rebuild supply chains that will take a decade.

One island. One mineral monopoly.

The house of cards is real… and China is already holding the matches.

China's central bank is injecting liquidity into its financial system:

China's central bank injected +$14.8 billion into its banking system this month through its one-year Medium-Term Lending Facility (MLF) operation, the largest such liquidity injection in 5 months.

The MLF is a tool that allows the China's central bank to provide funding directly to commercial banks, helping ensure they have enough liquidity to support lending and financial stability.

Combined with +$103.3 billion added earlier this month through reverse repurchase operations, where the central bank temporarily lends money to banks in exchange for securities, total liquidity support surged to its highest level since February.

This follows 4 consecutive months of declining liquidity in the financial system.

The move comes after weaker-than-expected Q2 economic data and ahead of record government bond issuance in Q3.

China is boosting liquidity.

Most people use Hermes for quick tasks.

99% of people are missing Hermes best use case:

Turning Hermes into your personal financial research assistant.

Here's how to set it up as a research analyst that works while you sleep:

Step 1. Connect a financial data source

Inside Hermes, add an MCP server for live market data (Financial Datasets MCP or similar).

" --transport http financial-datasets mcp.financialdatasets.ai "

This gives your agent direct access to fundamentals, price history, and financial statements instead of relying on stale training data.

Step 2. Build a research context file

Create a file that holds your investment thesis, watchlist, risk tolerance, and the sectors you actually care about.

Hermes reads this before every research task instead of starting cold.

Step 3. Run a deep research loop

"/loop every day at 6am. Pull the latest fundamentals and news for every ticker on my watchlist, flag anything with unusual volume, earnings surprises, or analyst rating changes, cross-reference against my investment thesis in context.md, write a summary to research.md, stop when the summary is complete."

Now every morning you wake up to a fully researched brief instead of scrolling through five different apps.

What to actually ask it:

→ "Pull every earnings call transcript from this sector in the last quarter and summarize the common themes"

→ "Compare the fundamentals of these three companies and tell me which has the strongest balance sheet"

→ "Find any 13F filings that added exposure to this ticker last quarter"

If you haven't set this up with Hermes yet, make sure to save this post.

There are chip manufacturers, server manufacturers, cloud companies, security companies, application companies, and investment funds.

There are no companies whose main business is selling the model itself.

It's not who signed, but who didn't sign that provides information.

This game has a name and a history.

IBM invested nearly $1 billion in Linux in 2001. Its goal wasn't to make money from software, but to dry up the revenue of its software-selling competitor.

Google also left Android open and offered a free operating system to its phone-selling competitor.

In both cases, the side giving it away for free wasn't generous. It was destroying the layer from which its competitor was making money.

IBM is also signed at the bottom of this letter.

The calculation is even clearer on the Chinese side.

China cannot obtain the most advanced chips.

If the competition is about having the biggest model, it loses. The value of having a big model decreases the moment the model becomes downloadable.

So, openness is the weapon of those lagging behind in chip technology.

Moreover, giving it away for free costs China almost nothing.

Those models can't easily be sold to the West because of trust and regulatory hurdles, meaning they're giving away something with near-zero resale value.

You don't need to surpass your competitor; it's enough to make it impossible for them to make money.

But the real gain is something else.

Engineers learn on the model they can touch.

Tools, methods, and habits accumulate around what's downloadable. Companies build their products on top of it, and changing it later becomes expensive.

The standard is built around what everyone gets their hands on, not the best.

And then there's the hardware side.

If the world builds on Chinese models, those models will be optimized for China. The software ecosystem will drag the hardware ecosystem along with it.

That's Huang's main fear.

Now let's go back to the initial picture.

China and the US are aiming for the same thing: a system of making money by selling the model itself.

In the US, regulations are being discussed to restrict the release of open models, and these companies fear that if their own government ties their hands, the open space will be entirely left to China.

That's the main point of the letter.

Don't tie our hands while the other side distributes everything.

What's happening here isn't unique to artificial intelligence.

If a technology starts being given away for free, it's not a gift, it's a tool used to dismantle a profit-making layer.

The one who gives the foundation away for free also sets the standard.

The meaning of this for us is clear.

Without open models, a country would have to rent its intelligence from three companies. With open models, it would run it on its own server, not share its data externally, and modify it according to its own needs.

The word sovereignty in the letter says exactly this.

Everyone thinks this is a debate about openness and security.

However, what's being decided is whose foundation the world will build its artificial intelligence upon.

What's being given away for free isn't the model, it's the standard itself.

The Yemen war has apparently begun, tossing the entire region into war.

Netanyahu is visiting Trump in Washington, D.C. from Monday July 27, 2026 to Wednesday July 29, 2026.

The last time Netanyahu visited Trump on Monday December 29, 2025 to January 2nd, 2026, the Venezuela invasion began the next day January 3rd.

Saudi Arabia is attacking key targets across Yemen right now.

We're also seeing a massive inflow of US military equipment into Israel and Jordan.
