XI JINPING TELLS CHINA’S ARMY TO FOCUS ON PREPARATION FOR WAR
President #Xi says #China in an ‘unstable and uncertain’ security situation amid tensions over #Taiwan
Pictures of Xi, who recently secured a third term as party leader, in his #army uniform during a visit to a command centre featured prominently on the front page of the People’s Daily on Wednesday.
Xi said the army must “comprehensively strengthen military training in preparation for war”, having warned at a recent party congress of “dangerous storms” on the horizon.
“Focus all [your] energy on fighting, work hard on fighting and improve [your] capability to win,” he was quoted as saying.
The army must also “resolutely defend
national sovereignty and national security” as China was in an “unstable and uncertain” security situation, he reportedly said.

Regarding reports of #Russian #retreat from #Kherson:
The only sense I can make of it is highlighted in the text above, from Wikipedia's Dnieper page.
However, a website called Encyclopedia of Ukraine states:
"In winter the #Dniepro freezes over, usually after a 20-day spell of #subzero temperature.
The average freezing and thawing dates are:
•Kyiv - 17 December and 24 March;
•Cherkasy - 23 December and 22 March;
•Zaporizhia - 5 January and 9 March;
•Kherson - 3 January and 3 March.
The ice regime is not stable: sometimes the Dnipro freezes for short intervals, and sometimes it does not freeze at all."
To be honest I have just about given up on making any predictions regarding this war.
The Russian military strategy is so baffling as to cause one to wonder if they have any coherent strategy at all. 🤷♂

The 2 images above describe what seems to have happened at #FTX #Crypto-currency exchange.
CEO Sam Bankman-Fried (#SBF) operated what is known as a "Flywheel scheme" at #FTX
Flywheel schemes enable firms to mark their illiquid token holdings to market value.
Throw in a little market manipulation, and you can generate billions in assets.
At least, on paper.
In reality, these tokens cannot be monetized because the markets are so distorted!
-----------------
#FTX's token, #FTT, is used internally within the exchange.
#FTX's "assets" included #FTT valued at over $5 Billion.
However #FTT's market capitalization was only approx $3 Billion. 🤷♂
Additionally the majority of the remainder of #FTX "assets" appear to be highly illiquid #AltCoin tokens

THE LONDON METAL EXCHANGE DECIDES AGAINST BAN ON RUSSIAN METAL
Friday November 11, 2022
The #London #Metal Exchange decided against a ban on new deliveries of #Russian metal, in a blow to big western #aluminum producers and some traders who had lobbied the exchange to take action....
#Alcoa, the biggest US producer, is “extremely disappointed in the LME’s decision to simply maintain the status quo,” a company spokesman said.
“We continue to believe that there is a significant risk that unwanted Russian-origin metal will flood into the LME warehouse system, threatening the reliability of the LME aluminum contract.”

💢 More and more Germans believe the Russian media, accept the Russian point of view - Spiegel poll:
▪️40 percent of respondents fully or partially agreed with the statement that the "Russian aggressive war" was Russia's reaction to NATO's uncontested provocation. This is eleven percentage points more than in April.
▪️44% are fully or partially convinced that Putin is acting against the "global elite", which "pulls the strings in the background." This is twelve percentage points more than in April.
▪️14% fully agreed that Ukraine "historically has no territorial claims" and "is actually part of Russia." About one-fifth of respondents consider it partially.
▪️With nine percent, the number of those who fully believe that the war was "necessary" "to get rid of the fascist government in Ukraine" has almost doubled.

Ukrainian troops have begun rounding up Kherson locals, who are suspected of having “collaborated” and supported Russian forces.
In previous instances, civilians detained for such “crimes”, which include even accepting a salary from local Russian administrations, simply disappeared

Warren #Buffett's explanation for why he has never invested in #BitCoin
"If you said … for a 1% interest in all the farmland in the United States, pay our group $25 billion, I’ll write you a check this afternoon.
For $25 billion I now own 1% of the farmland.
If you offer me 1% of all the apartment houses in the country and you want another $25 billion, I’ll write you a check, it’s very simple.
Now if you told me you own all of the bitcoin in the world and you offered it to me for $25 I wouldn’t take it because what would I do with it?
I’d have to sell it back to you one way or another.
It isn’t going to do anything.
The apartments are going to produce rent and the farms are going to produce food.”
