China’s Battery Breakthrough: The Death of Planned Obsolescence?
Imagine an EV battery that lasts six times longer. A smartphone that won’t die on you after two years. Chinese scientists just cracked the code: injectable lithium trifluoromethanesulfonate. The magic formula that keeps batteries alive after 12,000 charge cycles instead of 2,000. Translation? A future where your devices don’t self-destruct on schedule.
Cue the panic in Washington. Because this isn’t just a technological leap, it’s an economic wrecking ball aimed straight at Western monopolies. Planned obsolescence is a trillion-dollar racket. Apple throttles old iPhones. EV makers quietly sabotage battery longevity. The entire “sustainable energy” scam is built on forced upgrades and controlled scarcity. And now, Beijing just threw a Molotov cocktail into the whole system.
EVs that last decades. Phones that don’t need replacing. And who’s leading the charge? Not Silicon Valley. Not Brussels. China. The same country that dominates lithium supply chains and battery production. The same country Washington tries to “contain” while buying 80% of its rare earth minerals from Chinese firms.
And here’s where it gets dystopian: the age of “battery injections.” We’re already injecting mRNA into humans. Now we’re injecting lithium into machines. What happens when the lines start blurring? When AI-powered robots get their own “lifespan-boosting treatments”? We aren’t curing obsolescence, we’re engineering a new kind of immortality.
The West plays catch-up. China rewrites the game.

Britain ready to deploy troops in Ukraine as security guarantees - PM Starmer
▪️"A contingent of 25,000 troops has already been assembled, which France and Britain can send to Ukraine," Rada deputy Goncharenko said earlier in the day.
▪️British Prime Minister Starmer will travel to Washington to persuade Trump to engage Europe in Ukraine talks , the Financial Times writes.
▪️Britain is expecting another meeting of European leaders, including Zelensky. They believe it will take place after Starmer returns from his talks with Trump.
Anyone really think Russia is going to allow some foreign army on their borders? 😂

الساعة الآن الثانية بعد منتصف الليل، على حدودنا الجنوبية وتحديداً في قرية حولا تستلقي فتاة لا يتجاوز عمرها اربعة عشر عاماً في العراء، مخضبةً بدمها شهيدةً على أيدي العدو الصهيوني، واما دولتنا الحقيرة فلم تصدر حتى بياناً..

Khadija body is still alone, under the dark sky in the erry night after the Jews denied the access to the Red Cross to retrieve her body.
Khadija tonight is alone, one last time after she was alone once her father died.

🇺🇸🇺🇦 From The Telegraph:
In a proposed economic agreement on "compensation" from Washington to Kiev, the terms go far beyond control over Ukraine’s critical minerals. The deal extends to everything from ports and infrastructure to oil, gas, and the broader resource base of the country. Under the agreement, the U.S. and Ukraine would establish a joint investment fund to ensure that "hostile parties to the conflict do not benefit from Ukraine’s reconstruction."
As part of the terms, the U.S. would take 50% of Ukraine's current resource extraction revenues and 50% of the financial value of all new licenses issued to third parties for future resource monetization. A lien on these revenues would also be placed in favor of the U.S.
One source familiar with the negotiations remarked, “This provision essentially means, ‘Pay us first, then feed your children.’”
🐻 Wow... this is what winning looks like? Bet this wasn't part of Narcoführer's "victory plan."

"If this draft were accepted, Trump’s demands would take a larger share of Ukraine’s GDP than the reparations imposed on Germany by the Treaty of Versailles—later reduced at the 1921 London Conference and the 1924 Dawes Plan. Meanwhile, he appears willing to let Russia off the hook entirely."

🇹🇼 Such a move is now seen as major step towards the dropping of the then-called "One-China policy" and a recognition of ROC/Taiwan as an independent nation or something bigger

France has proposed deploying European troops not on the future ceasefire line between Russia and Ukraine, but away from it, — FT
According to the publication, the American side insists that Europe send a peacekeeping contingent to the contact line. But behind the scenes, there are doubts about whether this scenario would be too risky.
Italian Prime Minister Meloni shared with her colleagues her doubts about sending troops to Ukrainian territory, considering this option "the most difficult and least effective of all possible".
German Chancellor Scholz was outraged by the existence of discussions about sending European troops and expressed confidence that this issue should not be discussed until peace is established:
"I am even a little irritated by this debate, I want to say this quite frankly... In fact, without the participation of Kyiv, the probable results of peace talks that have not yet taken place are being discussed."

💥 Footage of a powerful retaliatory strike in Kyiv
At night, the Russian Armed Forces again attacked critical facilities in the Ukrainian capital. According to local publics, Kyiv "has been burning for the fourth day." The city's mayor Klitschko confirmed the arrivals:
📝 ""Debris" of a Russian UAV fell in Kyiv. There is a fire on the territory of an industrial enterprise. Cars are also burning."
❗️ Klitschko's immediate reaction to the explosion in the Kyiv industrial zone leaves no doubt: something strategically important has been destroyed. Powerful repeated detonations indicate that warehouses for finished goods and production facilities of one of the key military enterprises have been damaged.
