🤡Mike Pompeo fell asleep in 2021 and has just woken up - Donald Trump's former Secretary of State has 'figured out' how to achieve peace.

Pompeo and US lobbyist David Urban described a possible option for a peaceful settlement of the Ukrainian conflict that Trump will try to implement if he wins the election.

In particular, he would tighten sanctions against Russia and create a $500 billion lend-lease programme. According to the authors, this is necessary for a ceasefire:

▪️Ukraine's accession to the EU and NATO

▪️A $100 billion fund from alliance members to arm Ukraine, but the US share should not exceed 20%.

▪️No country should recognise Russia's territories as part of the EU and NATO.

▪️Demilitarisation of Crimea

▪️Reparations to Ukraine from frozen assets of the Bank of Russia

El siglo XXI se perfila como el siglo asiático, euroasiático, chino.

El pleno del Partido Comunista de China celebrado la semana pasada en Pekín, de cuatro días de duración y dos décadas de duración, en el que se diseñó una hoja de ruta económica hasta 2029, fue un acontecimiento asombroso en más de un sentido.

Empecemos por la continuidad y la estabilidad. Tras el pleno, no hay duda de que Xi Dada, o el Gran Panda, seguirá al timón hasta 2029, el final del actual impulso económico quinquenal.

🗣 China ha alcanzado la velocidad de escape: ahora es imparable

🐲 The four-day, twice-a-decade plenum of the Communist Party of China that took place last week in Beijing, designing an economic road map all the way to 2029, was a stunning affair in more ways than one.

Let’s start with continuity – and stability. There’s no question after the plenum that Xi Dada, or The Big Panda, will stay on the helm until 2029 – the end of the current five-year economic drive.

And if Xi is healthy enough, he stays up to 2035: the fateful and uber game-changing target year for China to exhibit a GDP per capita of $30,000, with massive around-the-world reverberations.

Here we see the confluence between the progression of “socialism with Chinese characteristics” and the defining contours if not of a Pax Sinica, at least of the non-Hegemon-centric, multi-nodal world.

The 21st century is shaping up to be the Asian, Eurasian, Chinese century.
