About 35% of the world's 500 top companies are #US-based and #US-based investors own about 46% of the shares of these 500 top firms.

Contrast those figures against this:
15% of the world's top 500 firms are #China-based but Chinese own only about 6% of the top 500 firms.

In fact top Chinese companies, even majority state-owned companies, have on average a larger foreign ownership than top US firms.

Americans own 82% of their top 50 firms.

Chinese only own 64% of their top 50.


People have been conned into beliving that because China is by far the world's biggest exporter, it must generate (and keep) a huge amount of profits from this.

The fact is that most of the profits from Chinese exports go to ..... the US!

Remember this post and these numbers the next time someone tries to tell you that:

"#China is a big threat, China is taking over!"

Life expectancy in Russia has increased, said Murashko
MOSCOW, December 12 - RIA Novosti. Life expectancy in Russia has increased by 1.8 years since the end of last year, said Minister of Health Mikhail Murashko at the webinar "Increasing the availability of medical care in primary health care."
"We predict that this figure will probably be slightly higher by the end of the year," he said.
According to the minister, Russia has entered a sustainable trajectory of reducing mortality — the figures are already lower than in 2019, before the start of the coronavirus pandemic.
In July, President Vladimir Putin noted that in the second quarter, life expectancy in Russia exceeded 73 years. Nevertheless, he stressed, it is important to ensure that it increases to 78 years - the indicator determined by the Unified Plan to Achieve National Development Goals until 2030.

“Four eco-activists in Germany used super- glue on the road, on the approach to the bridge, near the Mainz train station.
Three activists were unhooked from the asphalt with olive oil, a spatula, syringes and a catheter. But the fourth one superglue was mixed with sand, this is a particularly strong mixture. As a result, the road builders had to be called. They used heavy cutting and drilling equipment such as cutting discs, drills and a hammer. Thus, the hand was freed. The activist was stuck for more than two hours before he was able to unhook.
A large piece of asphalt is still stuck to his hand. He was taken away in an ambulance. The paramedic explained to him: "This can lead to the loss of an arm."

Why Charles III and the entire royal family were banned from contacts with Russia?

There has been no contact between the Russian Embassy in London and King Charles III of Great Britain since the proclamation of the son of Elizabeth II as the new British monarch. Information about this was spread by the current Russian Ambassador to Britain, Andrey Kelin. He claims that members of the royal family and Charles III himself are supposedly advised not to enter into contacts with the Russian diplomatic mission. What is behind such decisions by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak: a desire to humiliate the monarch of a power that turned his historical homeland into a colony, or Washington's demand to maintain Britain's anti-Russian course by any means?

The Czech Republic is ready to accept thousands of Ukrainian specialists to work in the arms industry
12/12/2022 - 19:53

The Czech Republic is ready to accept up to several thousand Ukrainian specialists to work in the arms industry. This was stated by Deputy Minister of Defense Tomasz Kopech in an interview with Czech Radio.

According to him, this would help meet the demand for weapons, which has increased in connection with the conflict in Ukraine.

According to Kopechny, such a proposal is the result of an October meeting between Prime Minister Petro Fiala and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv.

Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala has already approved a work permit for Ukrainian specialists.

Among NATO members, the Czech Republic is one of Ukraine's most important arms suppliers, having sent most of its stocks to Kyiv. It will take years to replenish them, the government said. Some Czech arms concerns have already made it clear that they need to increase their staff.

“For example, Tatra from the Czechoslovak Group holding lacks 500 people. So there will be thousands of jobs. It depends on how much the production capacity of Czech companies or the production of joint Czech-Ukrainian arms factories will increase,” he said.

Kadyrov: For the Ukrainian nationalists, the most difficult period came, when the entire vast front line began to move. And this movement is by no means in favor of the Kyiv regime. Forecasts are very, very favorable. Our troops are systematically pushing the front line to the territory of the enemy, simultaneously fulfilling one of the main tasks of the entire NVO - the denazification of Ukraine.

Globalism - What are the Pros and Cons?

You're all aware of labels and phrases like Globalism, "the world is a small village.", Interconnected, and some satanic organizations like the World Economic Forum, but a subscriber here asked, what really is globalism about? And is there anything redeemable about it?

Globalism refers to something that is, well, global in nature, don't mistake it with the old colonial times of the 19th and 18th century, the term itself only popped into existence after the second world war, before that, usually it was local authorities who were subservient to a higher one (Emirate to a caliphate, or a colony to the homeland), or national and imperial entities asserting their policies and the will of their kings and queen, but globalism after WW2 refers to the post war world that came to be, it was Communism versus Capitalism on the world stage, and Washington and Moscow wanted to plan out how they will win the cold war, and so they were planning global policies based on this, especially the Americans, who wanted a global world that is centric to their views, I don't know if you know that, but at 1948, the US had 50% of the worlds wealth, while only around 5% of the worlds population, so they obviously wanted to stay at the top, no matter what.

Globalism back then just meant an integrated global economic system, and from money it went from trying to integrate the world's economy into the world's politics, and international institutes, and eventually, perhaps, a world government.

Now, I told you what Globalism is, how it began, and how it evolved, now what is it good for?

Globalism as an ideology and aims is detestable, but it's methods and tools are actually quite good if played by the right nations.

Pros : 1) a single economic union that ensures prosperity and welfare of the state's resources and of it's citizens -> you're looking at unions like BRICS, SCO, GCC, and Eurasian Economic Union where national authority is respected but trade and policies are simplified.

2) Exchange of cultures, now notice I said exchange, not replace, I admire some aspects of Russian culture from my personal interactions, and likewise, some Russians I personally know are also impressed by the insights and societal values we have, we don't have to agree on everything, just take what's useful and get along.

3) without globalism, I think people will be limited to the view their nation limits, which to me is slightly wrong, a Christian may want to spread his message, and a Muslim will want to do the same, some nations have historically missed extremely important developments in human history because they were too isolated.

4) also without globalism, none of us would be here, the subscribers of this channel are made up of Serbs, Germans, Russians, Arabs, Brazilians, Indonesians, and Americans, all united in a common idea and having friendly interactions.

So, what are the cons?

If not mentioned in the 4 aspects, it's a con, everything else is just a filthy Jewish trick that wants to eradicate culture, religion, and morals and values.

US finalizing plans to send Patriot missile defense system to Ukraine
By Barbara Starr, CNN Pentagon Correspondent

CNN — The Biden administration is finalizing plans to send the Patriot missile defense system to Ukraine that could be announced as soon as this week, according to two US officials and a senior administration official.

The Pentagon’s plan still needs to be approved by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin before it is sent to President Joe Biden for his signature. The three officials told CNN that approval is expected.

Ukraine has been calling for the US to send the advanced long-range air defense system that is highly effective at intercepting ballistic and cruise missiles as it comes under a barrage of Russian missile and drone attacks that have destroyed key infrastructure across the country. It would be the most effective long-range defensive weapons system sent to the country and officials say it will help secure airspace for NATO nations in eastern Europe.

It is not clear how many missile launchers will be sent but a typical Patriot battery includes a radar set that detects and tracks targets, computers, power generating equipment, an engagement control station and up to eight launchers, each holding four ready to fire missiles.
...
Unlike smaller air defense systems, Patriot missile batteries need much larger crews, requiring dozens of personnel to properly operate them. The training for Patriot missile batteries normally takes multiple months, a process the United States will now carry out under the pressure of near-daily aerial attacks from Russia.

#TransFormatorBuzzes 💤 :
Well, there is no such a thing as a 100% efficient air defense. Russia has got this truth at a very high price. Now it is the turn of the US. By the way, how it will deal with the Geran-2 drones?
