AIDS to UKRAINE

Oct 24, 2022

= Western aid to Kyiv reached almost 100% of GDP in 2022.

   Three-quarters of "aid" goes to war with Russia.

The Democratic majority in the US Congress is in a hurry to approve a new $50 billion support package for Ukraine before the end of the year, NBC reported. From January 2023, the composition of the parliament may change following the results of the elections, and it is not certain that the initiative will be approved.

 The obligations of Western countries to Ukraine - already provided and promised financial, military and humanitarian assistance - by the beginning of October amounted to $ 126 billion, Equality calculated according to the latest data from the Kiel Institute for the World Economy. This is 97% of the country's GDP for 2022, which is estimated by the IMF at $130 billion.

 About 75% of the assistance is the supply of weapons or the financing of Kyiv's military spending. The United States ($55 billion) and the European Union ($48 billion) allocated the most funds, or 0.3% of GDP each. The most active friends of the Kyiv regime are Estonia, whose assistance reaches 1.51% of its own GDP, as well as Latvia (1.29%), Poland (1.28%), Lithuania (0.83%) and the Czech Republic (0.74%). ). The Kiel Institute in its calculations slyly does not take into account the Russian Federation.

Meanwhile, Russia's obligations to the four regions of Novorossiya, if we count them in the same way as German experts, reach at least $79 billion, or 4.5% of GDP, Ravenstvo estimated. This makes the Russian Federation the biggest helper of Ukraine - that part of it that wished to be reunited with Russia. Moreover, unlike the West, the main part of the funds is planned to be directed to restoration, that is, peace is financed, not war.

 Further Questions:
1. How the West "helped" Kyiv
2. What the West gets in return
3. How Russia helps Ukraine

Must be the latest 'Washington Consensus@ hitting Pakistan?

13 Feb 2023 - Pakistan has reportedly stepped up military supplies to Ukraine via a German port, simultaneously with the Poland route, to transfer rockets for use in multi-barrel rocket launchers — ET Supplies of rockets were dispatched from the Karachi Port earlier this month and will enter Ukraine via Emden Port (https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/topic/emden-port) in Germany, said the people.

More than 10,000 rockets meant for use in Grad multi-barrel rocket launchers have been shipped, they said. Although Pakistan has been pleading with Russia for discounted oil amid its economic crisis, it has been supplying arms to Ukraine on a regular basis, said one of the persons, who did not wish to be identified. Karachi-based shipping firm Project Shipping last month facilitated supplies of 146 containers from Pakistan Ordnance Factories, ET had reported.

Last month, yet another shipment of 50,000 defence stores was reportedly sent by Pakistan Ordnance Factories (https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/topic/pakistan-ordnance-factories) via Karachi.

The New York Times: Mozart PMC collapsed in Ukraine due to alcohol addiction and Kiev strip clubs

The article reported that company founder Andrew Milburn told his subordinates that "the group is dead". One of the reasons for the termination was financial difficulties.

In the beginning, the Mozart PMC, which was conceived of as a counterweight to the Wagner PMC, was able to raise more than $1 million through donations. But then the funds began to run out, some of them were embezzled, squabbles began, people began to defect. Many of the fighters turned out to be very problematic people with combat experience combined with mental disorders. Simply, the company lacked discipline. According to Geoffrey Gettleman, the author of the article, they were drawn to Kiev strip clubs, bars and online dating.

Insider Trading : Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, once again, was caught !

Pelosi sells Google stocks right before DOJ announces antitrust lawsuit

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, once again, was caught insider trading after it emerged that the 82-year-old politician sold 30,000 shares of Alphabet for nearly $3 million a month before the Justice Department announced an antitrust lawsuit against Google. 

On January 24, the US Justice Department and eight states announced a lawsuit against Google alleging that the tech giant had a monopoly over Internet search traffic and took anti-competitive actions. 

Pelosi's husband also found himself in a similar situation last year when he traded $1 million to $5 million worth of semiconductor stocks days before Congress passed legislation that would provide the industry with $52 million. 

Earlier Tuesday, the PELOSI Act was introduced in the Senate, which would ban members of Congress from trading in the stock market.

War Games between US & America to Intimidate Iran?

_______________________________

Israel is preparing for war with Iran

▪️ Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz said that Iran is weeks away from obtaining the material needed to build a nuclear weapon. He noted that the development of Iranian ballistic missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles and other military technology have reached the point where an urgent response is needed.

▪️ In this regard, the Israel Defense Forces exercise will begin on May 29 and will last one month. All units of the armed forces, including reserve formations, will be involved. 

▪️ The purpose of the exercise is to simulate war with Iran and proxy formations in Syria and Lebanon, as well as countering terrorist groups in Israeli territory. The scenario of air strikes against Iranian nuclear and military facilities will also be practiced. 

▪️ Characteristically, in planning a direct confrontation, the Israeli leadership took into account the strict need for direct U.S. involvement and the availability of their advanced weapon systems on Israeli territory. 

▪️ However, Washington is certainly not ready to support the Israelis yet: the Biden administration is in another "advanced" stage of negotiations on the nuclear deal with Iran. At the moment, getting involved in another conflict against the backdrop of confrontation with Russia and China is fraught with consequences in the form of a new round of economic crisis. 

▪️ In order to change the mind of the American government, Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz went to Washington. He intends to hold talks on the "Iranian threat" with his American counterpart Floyd Austin and Jake Sullivan, the US president's national security advisor.

🔻 It is unlikely that the White House is now planning to go to war with Iran. Both for the U.S. and for the rest of the world, such a scenario would mean another jump in oil prices, which would have an even greater impact on inflation. 

But the Israeli leadership will try to make the most of the current situation. They will focus on the precariousness of Iran's real positions in order to force the U.S. to abandon the nuclear deal.

The Israelis will try to bluff Iran's tough negotiating position in order to cover the acute socio-economic problems that are already manifesting themselves in the form of nationwide protests in the Islamic republic.

TikTok Banned For US Lawmakers — Media

 Administrators at the US House of Representatives sent out an email on Tuesday allegedly instructing all lawmakers and staff to uninstall TikTok from any official phones, calling the app a security risk. TikTok has been banned on US government devices as part of a $1.7 trillion spending bill adopted last week.

“The Office of Cybersecurity has deemed the TikTok mobile application to be a high risk to users due to a number of security risks,” said the email from the Committee on House Administration obtained by reporters.

According to the email, the staff need to remove the application from any device issued by the House and are banned from reinstalling it. The change comes after the 117th Congress concluded its business and disbanded. The 118th Congress is scheduled to be sworn in next Tuesday.

New Trade Route Helps Russia And Iran Bypass Sanctions — Bloomberg

26 Dec 2022 - Russia and Iran are building a new transcontinental trade route and are rapidly expanding supply chains, having stepped up mutual cargo deliveries across the Caspian Sea, Bloomberg reported, citing tracking data.

The trade corridor that stretches from the Sea of Azov and the mouth of the Don River in Russia to Iranian hubs on the Caspian Sea and ultimately the Indian Ocean has become increasingly busy in recent months, with new routes emerging, according to the report. Ship-tracking data compiled by the news outlet showed hundreds of both Russian and Iranian vessels along rivers that lead to the Caspian Sea.

Iran’s geographical location allows Russia to safely transport goods via the trade corridor through Iranian territory all the way to Asia and India without incurring the risk of Western sanctions.
