And .. if the one to lose in... inches ... will accept the result...
Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva wins in a tight contest the second round of Brazilian election on Sunday with 50,90% versus Bolsonaro’s 49.10%.

He represents the workers party of Brazil and promised to fight social inequality. He got a bit more than 60 mln votes.

“This isn’t a victory of mine or the Workers’ Party... It’s the victory of a democratic movement that formed above political parties, personal interests and ideologies so that democracy came out victorious,” were Lula s first words few hrs ago after results were announced in front of his supporters in Sao Paulo.

Bolsonero has not accepted publicly the result yet.

Finland could place Nuclear Weapons in the borders with Russia if it is accepted in NATO.

NATO & Western leaders have completely lost their mind!

In the application of Finland to join NATO & in the discussions of Finland PM Sanna Marin there is NOT included any restrictions or opt outs for nuclear weapons...

The Finnish PM and her government are ok with the prospect of their country hosting nuclear missiles that could reach Russia capital in less than 10 minutes.

In such a way RF would be helpless to have any military resistance to any NATO plans.

Do we need to state that Russia can never accept this?

Do we need to state that a new conflict will start in Europe?

Due to neutrality maintained by Finland till now RF has demilitiralized all northern borders as a sign of good neighboorhood.

Alexandria Ocasio Cortez AOC is one of the most known congresswomen in the governing Democratic party in US.

Her townhall was interrupted by young men claiming she is participating in the Biden administration decisions to send more weapons and fuel up the war in Ukraine.

Given the serious escalations currently in this conflict in this part of war more and more people and politicians in US start to understand that playing with fire (like nuclear) will only lead to unecessary for everyone catastrophy.

Every war finishes with peace settlement. Politicians,Take your seats on the peace table ASAP.

Time for people and governments to stop fueling the war.

Huge new troubles , this time of criminal nature for the EC president Ursula Von der Layen.

Currently she put as a target to destroy all Europe with sanctions that hurt Europeans much more than stopped any war. Before that she seems to have been involved in inappropriate conduct with pharmaceutical companies during COVID crisis.

More specifically seems she personally handled some of the negotiations although a member of her family is director in one of the pharmas which is part of PFIZER which received significant contracts in bln $

To make matters worse she agreed to buy with EU money the equivalent of 10 doses of COVID vaccine per European citizen which also raises significant questions.

Check the video from European parliament and the article below:

Europe on the verge of the biggest financial crisis of last 30 years!

In October 2022 as a result of energy crisis, sanctions versus Russia, efforts to isolate China, lack of proper relationships with Arab countries and huge channeling of money to weapons and Ukraine Europe Financial indicators are the worse in last 30 years.

Inflation will hit a new double digit record of 10.7% in eurozone with some countries like Estonia, Latvia well over 20%!!

The CPI in eurozone ( consumer price index) measures the change over time in the prices of consumer goods and services acquired, used or paid for by households. It is an important measure of inflation in the European Union.

Lloyd’s Ascot pauses insuring ships utilised from today onwards for Ukrainian Grain Shipments.

The company needs to clarify what the RF withdrawal from the deal means.

This is not just another news. We meant to make a very extensive article regarding oil price cap and tanker insurance companies... ( this especially affects shipping companies from Greece, Malta and Cyprus as well as insurance companies from UK)...

There is a lot of juice in this story.

But the grain deal story happened first...

You will hear a lot more on this next days.

Remember where you read it first!

Russian represantative in UN Vassily Nebenzia stated late tonight: " Ukraine violated the Istanbul agreement on grain exports via the Black Sea and forced Moscow to suspend it indefinitely.

The Russian Navy will inspect all cargo ships bound for Ukraine, even those unilaterally cleared by the Turkish-based coordination center, he added.

“This subversive action of Kiev grossly violates the Istanbul agreements and, in fact, puts an end to their humanitarian dimension. It is now obvious to everyone that the Black Sea humanitarian corridor is being used by the Ukrainian side for military sabotage purposes.

We remind that today some ships already are on the move with coordination between Turkey , UN and Ukraine without agreement of Russia for the transfer.

China has bought more than 50% of the traded in LME (in UK) copper!

Despite overall slowdown of markets due to overall reduction of demand related with slower than expected manufacturing by Chinesh & the impact of zero covid lockdowns seems Chinesh keep byuing copper. And in quite good prices!

The price of copper is not high as most of the amounts exchanged originate from Russia which is a trouble for international manufacturers.

However this is not an issue for Chinese who keep buying as this is one of the most valuable metalls.

https://www.mining.com/web/china-shows-the-lme-there-are-still-buyers-for-russian-metal/

And why do Chinesh keep bying copper?

Copper is one of the most important metals with more than 20 million tonnes consumed each year across a variety of industries, including building construction (wiring & piping,) power generation/ transmission, and electronic product manufacturing.

In Pakistan this week the supporters of ex prime minister Imran Khan are joining a march in order to push current government to announce early elections.

Khan who has been a tough critic of US policy in the region, disallowed US to use Pakistan soil for operations in Afganistan and was removed from power in April after a plot against him. This ended with a sudden no-confidence vote in the parliament.

Millions of Khan supporters were out in the streets at that time demanding the PM remaining in his position and accusing US of interfering in internal Pakistan political scene.

The current Pakistan military establishment has tried to push Khan out of future political developments in the country. However since he has the tremendous support of the people the former PM is not going away silently.

The march is supposed to arrive in the capital Islamabad. Hope not to turn violent since participation is massive.
