๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐ŸŒ China pushes back against trade protectionism at G20

China has urged G20 members to strengthen the WTO-centered multilateral trading system, while opposing what it describes as unilateralism and protectionism linked to claims of โ€œovercapacityโ€ and โ€œforced labor.โ€

Putin just told an Italian professor that EU dictates are harsher than Soviet days. Before you dismiss it as propaganda, watch the clip and ask yourself: is he wrong?

Weโ€™re told the EU is the beacon of freedom and democracy. Yet Brussels imposes sanctions, fines, and regulations that can feel just as suffocating as any Politburo decreeโ€”just with better branding. Maybe Putin is deflecting. Maybe heโ€™s exploiting a real grievance. Either way, the only way to know is to listen to the argument yourself.

Watch the video, then tell me: is this just Kremlin spin, or is there a uncomfortable truth here?

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ผ US Delivers First New F-16V Fighter Jets to Taiwan

The United States has delivered Taiwanโ€™s first two newly built F-16V Block 70 fighter jets, part of a $8 billion order for 66 aircraft approved in 2019.

The jets arrived in Taiwan on Friday and will join Taipeiโ€™s existing fleet of older F-16 variants. The deliveries were delayed from the original 2023 schedule due to software development and production issues.

The sale has repeatedly drawn criticism from Beijing. China considers Taiwan part of its territory and has urged Washington to stop arming the island. The delivery also comes shortly after Chinese President Xi Jinping urged US President Donald Trump to oppose โ€œTaiwan independenceโ€ and handle the Taiwan issue with caution.

๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ EU TO UKRAINE: "No More Money Until You Fight Corruption" โ€“ But Is Kiev Listening?

The EU has rejected Ukraine's plea to accelerate $27 billion in defense funding โ€“ and is demanding anti-corruption reforms instead. The empire's proxy is running out of cash, and its backers are running out of patience.

๐Ÿ’ฐ Ukraine asked the EU to front-load part of the โ‚ฌ90 billion loan earmarked for 2027 to cover a $27 billion defense gap.

๐Ÿ›‘ The EU refused โ€“ and is pressing Kiev to speed up stalled reforms before unlocking โ‚ฌ34 billion in available funds.

โš ๏ธ The corruption concern: EU commissioners warned against an amendment that would weaken scrutiny of former politically exposed persons (PEPs) โ€“ making enhanced financial oversight mandatory for only one year after leaving office.

๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ EU diplomat: "You can't bring a country of 40 million people that's at 104 on the global corruption list into the EU. It would make a mockery of the entire project."
