Jesus, #china 's #ccp are in some serious trouble: https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/ugly-c.. Even the #falsified #projections look bad, things internally must be dire. Every one of the expectations was below target, and they were really dissapointing anyway. I keep reminding #investors to not #destroy their good #money there.
#russia are not ruling out #repairing the #nordstream #pipeline - this is looking weirder and weirder: https://www.zerohedge.com/commodities/ru.. I really suspect that this was not #russia , why would they #destroy something and then #repair it at #cost ?
#putin is suggesting that the #west wants to #destroy #russia https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/putin-.. This is clearly a dumb #narrative , the #eu were very happy with the previous #arrangement , why would they want a #regime change? It was *him* that #triggered this #war in #ukraine .
Apparently #china 's #ccp and #russia are both #threatening to #destroy #elonmusk 's #spacex #starlink on grounds of " #nationalsecurity " - despite tonnes of #foreign #satellites #flying over their #countries anyway: https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/c.. This isn't to mention they are both #developing #competitor #platforms ... Weird.
