💪🇷🇺📈 WEST'S ECONOMY IN SHAMBLES WHILE RUSSIA'S IS SOARING - mainstream publication above publishes analysis highlighting how Putin bolstered Moscow's economy to become 4th among global economies despite pressure of 15,000 Western sanctions.

Across the world worries are mounting about economy. In U.S, Canada unemployment rising, while consumer sentiment remains depressed. Europe continues to flirt with recession. Yet there is one place where mood's quite different. Despite fierce sanctions and pariah status, Russia’s economy's growing strongly

This year Russian GDP expected to rise by over 3% in real terms, faster than 95% of rich countries. According to Goldman Sachs Bank economy is accelerating (see chart 1). Unemployment close to an all-time low. With cash incomes growing by 14% year on year, purchasing power of Russians is rising fast. In contrast with almost everyone else, Russians are feeling good about the economy

Consumer confidence well above average since Putin assumed power in 2000. Independent pollster finds equally startling trends (see chart 2). Only once in past 3 decades has sentiment been higher. Russians’ confidence in their financial situation recently jumped to an all-time high - Publication notes.

🗣🗣 BIDEN SUGGESTING UKRAINE SHOULD JOIN NATO IS "STUPID THING TO SAY" - Says Trump in his latest interview with Elon Musk.

Biden started saying such stupid things, like Ukraine can be a NATO country. Now, Russia, for as long as there's been NATO, I said, we're never going to agree to that. That war would have zero chance of happening if I was [in office] there - Trump claims in top video.

Orange man says he loves Russia, had good relationship with Putin in bottom video, before claiming to intimidate the Russian leader to not take action against Ukraine, bragging he shut down Nord Stream 2 pipeline running from Russia to Europe.

It was the apple of his eye that I said "don't ever do it". He actually said to me "If you're my friend, I hate to see you as my enemy". I shut down his pipeline, the biggest pipeline, they were looking at that for funding - #Trump making up another story.

Actions considered extremely provocative and dangerous as condemnations pour from Arab countries and even Israeli politicians themselves, warning of "regional explosion".

Ben-Gvir's election campaign inside Temple Mount is endangering lives of our citizens and forces - Israeli opposition leader Lapid.

We call on our people in West Bank, Jerusalem and Occupied Palestinian territories to intensify their presence at Al-Aqsa Mosque and confront the settlers’ aggression - Palestinian Resistance Committee.
