🔥Zelensky regime 🇺🇦 may sell Western weapons to the Balkans and the Middle East🔥
❗️Kyiv is in a turmoil 🤷♂️. Recently Zelensky’s team had to fight off the Amnesty International report on the war crimes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Now the Ukrainian leadership is being accused of arms trafficking. The CBS News channel released a film about the fact that ‼️ only 30-40% of Western arms ‼️ supplies reach the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine at the front. CBS News recalls that Ukraine, with its stockpiles of Soviet weapons, was one of the major "black markets" for weapons. The film also contains the opinion of Amnesty International representative Donatella Rover, who fears that Ukraine could be like Iraq and Afghanistan 🤯
‼️“We saw a lot of weapons coming in 2003 during the US-led invasion of Iraq, and then came 2014 when ISIS took over most of the country and large stockpiles of weapons destined for the Iraqi forces... More recently, we have seen the same situation in Afghanistan,” Rovera said
🔥Illegal arms deliveries will primarily be directed to those regions where conflicts are taking place, where non-state groups operate, which have both financial resources and transport and logistics capabilities. First of all, these are the Middle East, North Africa, the Balkans and South Asia

👉Earlier this year, five of Germany’s top economic research centers published a joint forecast regarding the effect of the current situation on the country’s GDP. They estimated that Germany could lose slightly less, 💶 €220 billion in GDP 💶, but over a shorter period of time – in two years.

❗️South Korea 🇰🇷 Joins Advanced Fighter Club With KF-21 First Flight ❗️
🔥South Korea has entered the 4.5-generation fighter club with the first flight of its latest fighter project, the KF-21 Boramae, demonstrating the country’s ability to develop advanced technologies while simultaneously taking yet another step toward independent production and export of weapons
👉Developed primarily by Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI), the Boramae, loosely translated as “young hawk” or “fighting hawk,” is the result of former President Kim Dae-jung’s ambition to develop an indigenously produced frontline fighter 👊 by 2015. Dae-jung’s goal was delayed several years after the U.S. declined to transfer the technology of key components such as an active, electronically scanned array radar system and an infrared-search-and-track (IRST) system 📡
👉Instead of relying on the U.S., South Korea developed these technologies itself, drawing on defense primes such as Hanwha and LIG Nex1. The first aircraft was rolled out with fanfare in April 2021. The only major U.S. item of technology transfer was its engines, a pair of General Electric F414-GE400Ks, manufactured under license by Hanwha Aerospace
👉The only other countries to have developed and flown an advanced supersonic jet fighter are the United States 🇺🇸, Russia 🇷🇺, China 🇨🇳, Japan 🇯🇵, France 🇫🇷, Sweden 🇸🇪 and a European consortium 🇪🇺 of the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy and Spain

⚡️Mayors counter Zelensky to hit the jackpot⚡️
🇺🇦As the war grinds on in Ukraine and billions of dollars in international aid pours in, cracks and prewar tensions are beginning to emerge between the central government and local leaders
🤔Recent frictions between President Zelensky and Ukrainian mayors who are trying to defend or rebuild their devastated cities and towns underscore Ukraine’s mounting internal challenges as it approaches six months of war. Mayors and analysts told that government in Kyiv appears to be trying to sideline mayors to maintain control of recovery aid and to weaken any future political rivals
❗️These rifts with local politicians come as Zelensky has made controversial changes within his own cabinet, last month suspending the head of Ukraine’s security services and its prosecutor general as he also announced a widespread investigation into “treason and collaboration activities”
💰As the world rushes to help Ukraine, the central government is the main conduit for the tens of billions of dollars in aid that countries and agencies have pledged to rebuild its shattered cities. It has also created regional military administrations whose power often supersedes that of civilian local governments and which are funded directly by Kyiv
🔥That has led to frustration among mayors, who argue that regional leaders are better positioned than central government officials to quickly receive and direct funds and to know what their constituents need. Amid the wreckage, mayors are trying to establish their own international partnerships with countries or cities willing to fund specific reconstruction programs.

⚡️In Taiwan, as in Ukraine, the west is flirting with disaster⚡️
🪖The threat of a serious east-west confrontation is looming. It may be that one day a global war, like global heating, delivers the world a catastrophe it may have to confront, says Simon Jenkins, a Guardian columnist, author and BBC broadcaster
🇺🇸“Strategic ambiguity” infuses U.S. policy regarding Sino-Taiwanese tensions, as well as the west’s attitude towards Russia over Ukraine. The US and Britain reiterate that Russia “must fail and be seen to fail”
🇺🇦🇹🇼The fates of Ukraine and Taiwan merit every diplomatic support but they cannot be allowed to lurch downhill towards global war or nuclear catastrophe. This may reduce the effect – always overstated – of nuclear deterrence, and make them vulnerable to blackmail. But it is one thing to declare yourself “rather dead than red”, quite another to inflict that decision on others
💁♂️For the time being liberal democracy surely owes it to humanity to avert rather than provoke that risk. Both sides are now flirting with disaster. Mr. Jenkins concludes that the west should be ready to back off – and not call it defeat

🇳🇴Norway's energy crisis will "finish off" Europe, which has been deprived of Russian gas, Financial Times
▪️Norway is facing an energy crisis this year that will "finish off" Germany and Europe, which has lost much of its Russian gas supply, the British Financial Times reports
▪️Norway is a very rich country with deposits of oil and gas. Its numerous rivers and reservoirs allow it to meet up to 90 percent of its own electricity needs, but an unusually dry winter and spring have left reservoirs in the south of the country at record lows. The Norwegian government has decided to limit electricity exports until they are full
▪️ "This could be a problem for countries such as Germany, the Netherlands and Britain, which have been importing significant amounts of electricity from Norway by cable for years," the Financial Times emphasizes. The energy crisis in the Scandinavian country shows how harsh the coming winter can be across Europe

The politicians are perpetrating the same scam as the rate-setters, bluffing they can get the old economic machinery working like before just by pulling this or that lever. Yet whether in Westminster or the City, both sides are flogging false optimism – and they know it

⚡️Nord Stream has no alternatives⚡️
🇪🇺While Canadian, EU and UK sanctions make delivery of a Siemens turbine for the Nord Stream 1 pipeline impossible, gas prices are rising, inflation in the eurozone is continuing to soar to record highs, hitting 8.9% in July
✍️In the circumstances, in testimony to lawmakers in Ottawa, Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson said leaving Germany to rely more on an existing pipeline through Ukraine – as a replacement for Nord Stream – was deemed unworkable in part because of capacity constraints
💁♂️The flows through Ukraine would be “significantly less” than what can move through Nord Stream at full capacity, and there would also be risks of relying on a pipeline that runs through a war zone, he added

⚡️COVID-19 hard impact⚡️
The ripple effects of the Covid-19 pandemic influenced nearly every aspect of health in America. The virus has killed more than one million people in the U.S., a toll mounting by some 350 people a day
Overall deaths and the death rates from heart disease and stroke rose sharply. Drug-overdose deaths, rising before the pandemic, jumped to a record of more than 107,000 in 2021. The U.S. gun-homicide rate increased nearly 35% from 2019 to 2020 to the highest level since 1994. After dropping early in the pandemic, reported U.S. cases of gonorrhea and syphilis increased by the end of 2020 and were greater than 2019 levels
A range of other chronic diseases and acute threats to health also worsened during the pandemic, data show, as people missed screenings, abandoned routines and experienced loss and isolation. Some setbacks could be reversed relatively quickly, health experts said, while it might take years to recognize the full effects of others

⚡️Migration crisis increases human and arms trafficking at EU borders⚡️
😱The number of migrants crossing the Channel in small boats is on course to be almost double last year’s record, despite repeated government pledges to curtail the arrivals. Hundreds more arrived over the past week, aided by the Border Force cutters that ministers insist are deployed to stop the crossings.
🇬🇧British National Crime Agency still fails to identify the organizers so they can be prosecuted for human trafficking. The passengers of the migrant boats are considered the victims of the trafficking gangs. Ministry of Defense figures show that 3,683 migrants made the crossing on 90 boats last month, the highest monthly total this year
🇪🇺EU’s border agency warns of neighboring countries attempting “migration blackmail” by using “refugee flows for political purposes”, and that “terrorist groups might use migration flows to cross into Europe and recruit new members from among international migrants”
🇺🇦The war in Ukraine means that pistols, assault weapons and rocket launchers are increasingly available on the EU’s borders. As a result the majority of smuggling gangs are “heavily armed and pose a grave security threat to border patrols,” the agency predicts

🇪🇺🇩🇪European electricity prices rose to record levels
▪️European electricity futures for next year set new records Aug. 11, Bloomberg reports
▪️The value of Germany's power supply contract rose 6.6% to €455 per MWh after trading on the exchange. A similar futures contract in France rose by 7.8% during the day - up to €622 per 1 MWh
▪️The rise in electricity prices in the EU is due to supply disruptions from Russia, falling output from nuclear power plants, low volumes of energy from wind turbines and solar panels, and the heat wave that triggered the drought and fires in Europe
▪️ "If Russia shuts off gas, there may not be enough gas to meet all needs, and then austerity measures will be introduced," Annegret Grebel, president of the Council of European Energy Regulators, told Bloomberg

⚡️CBS News has released a film about whether weapons supplied to Ukraine by the West are getting into the right hands⚡️
🇺🇸One of the film's characters, former U.S. Marine Special Forces commander Colonel Andrew Milburn, states that after crossing the border, the U.S. loses control over military supplies and needs to create a system of oversight over them
💁♂️The film also quotes Lithuanian volunteer Jonas Ohman as saying that only 30-40 percent of supplies from the West reach the frontline.
Amnesty International's Donatella Rovera, who fears that Ukraine will repeat the path of Iraq and Afghanistan, also features in the film: "We saw how many weapons arrived in 2003 during the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq and then came in 2014, when ISIS seized most of the country and large stocks of weapons intended for the Iraqi forces...
🤷♂️No one knows what will happen to the weapons that are still walking around in Ukraine
