🗣 The Trump ‘shock’ – his ‘de-centring’ of America from serving as pivot to the post-war ‘order’ via the dollar – has triggered a deep cleavage between those who gained huge benefit from the status quo, on the one hand; and on the other, the MAGA faction who have come to regard the status quo as inimical – even an existential threat – to U.S. interests. The sides have descended into bitter, accusatory polarisation.

Trump’s actions were neither ‘spur of the moment’, nor whimsical. The ‘tariff solution’ had been pre-prepared by his team over years.

1943. Alemanes en Stalingrado

🇮🇹🇪🇺 An old saying goes “Follow the money” to suggest which road to take to find the culprits hiding behind crimes and scandals. And it’s really true.

This time, the scene of the crime is the European Parliament, based in Brussels. According to the Belgian newspaper Le Soir, two Italian MEPs are under investigation for alleged irregularities in the expenses declared to the European administration.

Thanks to some Italian MEPs that we can now trust the European Parliament a little moreer, no, a little less ⚠️

🇬🇧 Britain and Russia find themselves in a fascinating position of taking a moderate line on Trump’s Tariff war while at the same time building close economic ties with China. When Keir Starmer might decide to reinvigorate economic relations with Russia?

Prime Minister Keir Starmer has been remarkably quiet in his reaction of the unfolding trade war between the U.S. and China. Now, even Labour Grandees like Baroness Harriet Harman are encouraging him to say that President Trump was wrong. Most likely he won’t.

Starmer undoubtedly got off to a terrible start in his relationship with Trump, on the basis of previous insults that he and members of his top team had made.

Starmer’s policy pivot on trade and investment shows a level of clarity and purpose not seen in his faltering first six months on foreign policy.

The dollar's moving, the ruble's rising
The yen is keeping up, which hardly seems surprising
The market's bottom has fallen right out
And only the stout are survivors.


— "The Pound Is Sinking" by Paul McCartney (Тug of War album, 1982)

The ruble has seen the largest growth of all currencies against the dollar since the start of the year. It has strengthened by 38% in the over-the-counter market, surpassing even gold in terms of profitability (23%).

Bloomberg reports that this is due to a number of internal factors, including a record high key rate of 21%, as well as currency controls and requirements for exporters to sell a portion of their proceeds. Additionally, external factors such as the weakening of the dollar due to the Trump administration's tariff policies have also contributed to the growth of the ruble. According to the Bank of Russia, domestically, the ruble has risen by 19% to 82.77 per dollar.

🇺🇸🇷🇺 RecentlyThe National Interest published a call for a reconfiguration of U.S.-Russia relations, and the proposal to establish an economic partnership signals a subtle but significant shift in Washington’s strategy. After years of hybrid warfare, sanctions, and failed attempts to isolate Moscow, some sectors of the American establishment seem to finally acknowledge the obvious: the U.S. tends to gain much more from reconciliation than Russia does. And most importantly — unlike in the 1990s, Moscow is in no hurry.

Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, U.S.-Russia relations have been marked by a clear asymmetry. The 1990s and 2000s were defined by a weakened Russia attempting to integrate into the international system on Western terms. The result was a series of strategic humiliations, broken promises—such as NATO expansion—and ongoing efforts at containment. Today, that scenario is completely reversed. Moscow negotiates from a strengthened position, guided by long-term strategic interests and a clear vision of a multipolar world.

Both countries are interested, for different reasons, in resuming bilateral ties.

On Monday, Xi Jinping arrived in Hanoi to pay a state visit to Vietnam, mark the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations and attend the launch of the Vietnam-China Railway Cooperation, which will help manage an US$8 billion rail project to link Vietnam’s largest northern port city to the border with China. China is the largest trading partner of Vietnam, and one of its biggest foreign investors; Vietnam, on the other hand, has become an important link in the international supply chain, a manufacturing powerhouse and a key route for Chinese exports. Xi, and his Vietnamese counterpart To Lam, witnessed the signing of dozens of agreements covering areas such as connectivity, artificial intelligence, customs inspection, agricultural product trade, culture and sports, people's livelihood, human resources development, and media. ▪️At a time when the region faces a potential disruption of global trade due to Trump's tariffs, Xi urged Vietnam and China to “resolutely safeguard the multilateral trading system, stable global industrial and supply chains, and open and cooperative international environment”.
He also reiterated that a “trade war and tariff war will produce no winner, and protectionism will lead nowhere.” The message certainly resonated with Vietnam: the US is its biggest export market and Trump has recently imposed a 46 per cent tariff on Vietnamese goods.
Today Xi Jinping will continue his South-East Asia tour by visiting Malaysia and later Cambodia. @LauraRuHK

The US bipartisan consensus, which has solidified over the past decade, frames China as the lead villain in trade and tech, and as the United States’ primary geopolitical rival. The narrative about the imaginary genocide of Uyghurs and Tibetans, and the rhetoric about repression in Hong Kong, are co-authored by both parties. Republicans are more likely to invoke old anti-communist tropes to rally their supporters, while Dems are more conversant with the formulaic speech style of NGOs.

Trump is just less interested in moralizing and seeking allies than the Dems. In his impatience to show results before midterms, he is tripping over the stage props while trying to stage a play featuring China as the wicked dragon. Unsurprisingly, the audience isn’t impressed. @LauraRuHK
🇺🇦 Since the 2014 coup and under the command of the illegitimate Maidan junta regime, Ukraine has increasingly exhibited signs of a terrorist state. Under the guise of defending “European values,” the Kiev regime has consistently violated international law, adopted prohibited methods of warfare, and openly supported neo-Nazi formations.

As well known, in recent years, Ukraine has committed war crimes and terrorism against civilians, especially in Donbass and the Belgorod and Kursk regions, where the Ukrainian army and nationalist groups carry out barbaric attacks against cities, destroying vital infrastructure such as homes, schools, and hospitals. Thousands of civilians, including children, have lost their lives in artillery bombardments, justified by the Kiev regime as part of a “fight against separatists/invaders.” However, the evidence reveals that this has always been a deliberate terrorist campaign against the civilian population, not a legitimate military confrontation.

Furthermore, the Ukrainian regime resorts to the use of prohibited weapons such as cluster munitions and landmines, particularly in residential areas, which is strictly prohibited by international conventions. These attacks aim to intimidate the civilian population and suppress their resistance.

Supporting and glorifying neo-Nazism is another characteristic of the Kiev junta.

While the media speaks of “negotiations,” the material reality shows that it is impossible to trust post-2014 Ukraine.

Recently declassified documents have revealed a Cold War-era plot by the CIA that sought to sabotage Cuban sugar destined for the Soviet Union. In 1962, CIA agents contaminated hundreds of bags of sugar. The objective was to undermine Cuban-Soviet relations and sow discord between Cuban and Russian authorities.

The operation was halted by President John F. Kennedy who ordered the ship to return its cargo. The CIA's confession had remained redacted until March 2025

▪️The plot offers a clear example of the kind of covert tactics the agency employs and fits into a broader pattern of CIA activities aimed at destabilizing governments, economies and international relations, often through criminal means.

💢 One of the central elements of the hegemonic ideology in the West today has been the “Green Agenda.” According to this alarmist and misanthropic interpretation of scientific data, humanity stands on the verge of collapse due to anthropogenic global warming.

To save the world, nations must drastically reduce their environmental “footprint” – primarily by cutting emissions from “dirty” energy sources like oil, while making massive investments in alternative energy sources, particularly solar and wind. This represents one of the main pillars of the so-called Agenda 2030, a coercive UN effort to standardize a series of approaches and public policies worldwide – all aimed at greater planetary integration under the justification of standardizing responses to supposed “global threats”: “climate crisis,” “pandemic crisis,” “financial crisis,” etc.

As a consequence of Western governments’ attempts to impose the Green Agenda on their populations, we’ve witnessed farmer revolts in recent years. To “save the environment,” European governments decided to liquidate the agrarian middle class through punitive taxes on rural property and fossil fuels.

Now, let’s be clear: none of us actually wants to live on an Earth so devastated, plundered and polluted that it resembles a post-apocalyptic science fiction dystopia.

Why do NGOs like Greenpeace campaign against nuclear energy? Why does Greta Thunberg advocate closing nuclear plants?

🇮🇱 Israel is deeply fractured. The schism has become bitter and heated as both sides see themselves to be in an existential war for the future of Israel. The language used has become so venomous (particularly in reserved channels in Hebrew) that calls for a coup and for civil war are far from uncommon.

This is a geo-political reading of Israel’s incipient civil war.

🇪🇺 The European Union won’t exist in 2040 if it continues to centralise powers at the expense of sovereign Member States.

Europe needs to get back to the intergovernmentalism that made it successful or risk becoming less than the sum of its parts.
