"US believes China is not planning to invade Taiwan" Biden.

β€œTaiwan independence is impossible,” Xi Jinping.

Xi Jinpin & Joe Biden meeting results part 1 (China view)

The Chinese Foreign Ministry issued a release following the meeting:

β€œPresident Xi pointed out that:
πŸ“Œ China & US have 50 years full of events, experiences and lessons. History is the best textbook. We should take it as mirror and let it guide the future.

πŸ“Œ Now, the state of China-US relations is not in the fundamental interests of our two countries. Nor is this what the international community expects.

πŸ“Œ As leaders of two major countries, we must set the right course for China - USA relations on an upward trajectory.

πŸ“Œ A statesman must think where to lead his country.
He must also think how to get along with other countries.

πŸ“Œ The world expects China and the US to properly manage their relationship.

πŸ“Œ We must work with all nations to bring more hope for world peace, greater confidence in global stability, and common development.

β˜•οΈ Morning coffee session Good morning! And a nice week to everyone. Today's quiz: You have 2 bottles of water. The first bottle fits 3lt of water. The second fits 5lt of water. You need exactly 4lt of water. How can you calculate 4lt? Tip: you cannot…
Press on the spoiler below to see the answer to today's morning quiz:

From the 5 lts bottle you pour water to the 3lt bottle.
This way you have 2lt water left in the 5lt bottle.
Then you empty the 3 lt bottle.
Then you pour the 2lt water you have remaining from the 5lt to the 3lt.
This way you have 2lt water to the 3lt bottle.
You full again the 5lt bottle.
You pour from the 5lt to the 3lt that has 2lt inside. It can take only 1lt.

So in the bottle of the 5lt after you pour 1lt there will remain the 4lt you wanted.


Congratulations to everyone who found the answer!

Turkey - USA part 1

Right now in G20 in Indonesia a very important meeting between Biden and Erdogan is ongoing.

This meeting happens after very TOUGH statements of Erdogan 3 days ago:

"For 52 years we have been made to suffer at the doors of the European Union, not letting us into the Schengen area. However, some absolutely useless countries are accepted easily. We bear the greatest burden of refugees. We are the second army of NATO, reliably guarding the borders of Europe. It seems we are being used and not trusted, but we will respond when the time is right."

There are dozen of critical open topics between the two countries:

🚩 Turkey's ambigious position as a member of NATO in the conflict in Ukraine
🚩 Turkey's negative position on sanctions imposed to RF
🚩 Turkey's veto on Sweden and Finland entrance in NATO
🚩 USA position on military contracts with Turkey
🚩 USA position on NagornoKarabakh conflict.

The relationships are not on their best level.
However situation became critical after teract.

Turkey - USA part 2

Situation became critical after the recent terrorist attack on Istiklal street that left 6 dead and 81 injured.

President Erdogan called it a terrorist attack on the heart of Turkey. The suspect has been detained and is allegedly a part of Kurdish terrorist group.

Consequences of this act of terror are not clear yet. Kurds behind the scenes are backed by the U.S. (especially in Syria) & by the EU. This attack will further undermine Turkish relations with them.

As a condition for NATO membership approval, Turkey has demanded from Finland and Sweden to extradite individuals that are, according to Turkey, related to Kurdish terrorist organizations. Finland & Sweden have not yet fully complied with these demands.

Turkish Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu rejected the condolences message from USA after the teract. He said it is like β€œa killer being first to show up at a crime scene." Istiklal Street is our child. If we hadn't caught the attacker, she would have fled to Greece today."

πŸ’΅ Finance Big tech stocks keep falling. What is going on? A year ago the most undisputed statement in financial markets would have been the constant rise of the Big Tech Stock value. A year later tech giants have seen their shares fall 30% y.o.y. Microsoft…
Some weeks ago we published the market crash of the big tech in the "finance section".

This was followed by massive firing by Microsoft, Meta (facebook) and Twitter.

Is it the turn of Amazon employees to pay the price now?

Rumor has it that more than 10.ooo workplaces are in danger.

Owner of Amazon Jeff Bezos warns that Americans should "prepare for the worst" as a recession approaches and advises gathering cash in case of a "devastating downturn".

Business Insider writes about it:
β€œThings are slowing down, you are seeing layoffs in many, many sectors of the economy. Probability says that if we are not in a recession right now, we are likely to be in one very soon,” the Amazon founder said.😳

⚑️ Breaking news

Today morning Zelenskiy made very tough statements during his online appearence in G20 summit.

He stated: "there will be no peace agreement & no Minsk-3."

"WWII finished only after the allies invasion in Normandy on D-day. So the operation will continue."

As prerequisitives for any peace negotiations he mentioned between other:

1. To be safe from radiation & nuclear hits (he did not mention the word "guarantees". Interesting what he has in mind)
2. Food & Energy security.
3. Release of all Ukrainian prisoners. Exchange in a format "all for all". (The challenge here is that there are many more Ukrainian prisoners than Russian prisoners)
4. Implementation of the UN Charter & restoration of the territorial integrity of Ukraine.
5. Withdrawal of all Russian troops from Ukraine.
6. Prevention of future escalation with guarantees.

His position is to not negotiate.

Right now for first time after a pause of two weeks the energy infrastructure in 10 cities of Ukraine is again being hit.

🧐 "Food for thought" blog

A lot of rumours were circulated last two weeks for ongoing direct negotiations between USA & RF for end of the conflict in Ukraine.
The so called "Sullivan Formula".

What enhanced these thoughts last several days that we might be reaching peace?

🏁 the statement of Sullivan about negotiations last week
🏁 the sudden trip of Sullivan to Kiev last week
🏁 the return of RF to grain deal
🏁 the secret meeting of Narishkin with Burns yesterday in Turkey that was revealed only after the fact
🏁 the articles signaling "time has come" for peace negotiations in Washington Post and New York times
🏁 the sudden withdrawal of RF soldiers from Kherson without a battle
🏁 the absense of strikes by RF to the energy infrastructure of Ukraine last 10 days
🏁 the multiple exchange of prisoners last week-s
🏁 the unexpected although short rise of the US stock market last week without any rational reason
🏁 the announcement that US and RF will organise a meeting to discuss a NEW START agreement for nuclear weapons before year end
🏁 the fact that positions of the two armies seem now more stabilised and river Dnieper is inbetween them (at least in Kherson)

However today's events & statements bring us again more far away than closer to a resolution. If a resolution was ever really on the table.


❗️Reported hits in Lvov, Kiev, Zitomir, Krivoy Rog, Zaporizia, Kharkov, Odessa etc

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ Zelensky's office: the situation in Ukraine after attacks on infrastructure facilities is critical.

And a last thought: yesterday for 3-4hrs Zelenskiy was celebrating in center of Kherson with civilians.

RF forces knew exactly where he is even before his arrival. And there was not even 1 missile fired in a region a few km distance from Russian forces.

The explanation given by Ukraine & Western media today was again that RF has ran out of missiles.....

Like this we will never manage to stop this war.!

πŸ™‰ Clown world session

Today's clown world session goes to .. Western Media!

For yesterday's Fake News with Minister of Foreign affairs of RF.

Just read their headlines yesterday...

The Story originated from Associated Press " as per trusted sources..." in Indonesia!!!
πŸ€‘πŸ€‘πŸ’©πŸ’©πŸ‘ΊπŸ‘Ί
With zero check and with not even one phrase saying "we are verifying the info" it was reproduced by all Main Western Media.

Not even a 5 minute check in his hotel room or a phone call to crosscheck with his team....

Today Sergey Victorovich Lavrov appeared and participated in multiple meetings in G20.

Polish and UK media report that 2 rockets fall in Polland. Info is not confirmed!!!. Could be fake. Could be a lie. But also it could be true.

1. Is it true?
2. Is it the accident everyone was afraid last several months?
3. Is it not an accident?
4. How comes UK media are the first to reproduce? So far everything they was reproduced these 8 months from UK media was staged.

Next hours will show.
We are in front of potentially serious developments.

🚨 Poland's Prime Minister, Mateusz Morawiecki, has convened the Committee of the Council of Ministers for National Security and Defense Affairs "as a matter of urgency", government spokesman Piotr Müller confirmed. Explosions are confirmed.
Local media report 2 dead.

Target seems to be not military.

What could have happened?

It could be Russian missiles (by accident) if target is not military or Ukrainian anti-air system that tried to hit the Russian incoming missiles and failed. There is no confirmation of what caused the explosions in Polland yet.

β˜•οΈ Morning coffee session Who wrote the phrase "not all those who wander are lost" ? We will publish the answer tonight.
Press on the spoiler to check the answer to today morning quiz:


J.R.R Tolkien
The quote actually comes from a poem from The Lord of the Rings called "All that is gold does not glitter". (This line is an inversion of the quote from Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice: β€œAll that glitters is not gold".

These lines are the beginning of a poem about Aragorn, quoted by Gandalf in his letter to Frodo in Book I, Chapter 10, and offered as a means for the hobbit to determine whether Strider is indeed Aragorn.
