Positioning BRICS China and the strategies flowing around multipolar, hedging $ Yen bonds. From a very insightful discussion between Einar Tangen and Glenn Diesen. Excellent brain food.
More like it got its entire arm stuck inside a lithography machine, can’t get it out without amputation that will also ruin the machine. The other big key as I discussed with the wife last night is electricity production, which was noted in the Guancha discussion I posted last week. The Empire barely provides enough for current domestic use with no extra ready to power all the new AI and related tech. And it wants to add more power consuming manufacturing plants. We just flew over Phoenix and Las Vegas on our recent trip and on all those thousands of rooftops there’re extremely few solar panels, not to mention the wide-open spaces in the desert. China would have those areas plastered with panels.
“During yesterday’s conversation with Trump’s envoy Witkoff, Vladimir Putin reiterated that the Russian side is ready to resume the negotiation process with Ukraine without any preconditions,” Peskov stated.
Which was reiterated in Putin's 3 day ceasefire/truce announcement
" The Russian side reiterates its willingness to enter peace talks without preconditions, with a view to eliminating the root causes behind the Ukraine crisis and establishing constructive interaction with international partners."
You should correct your error, Karl. And should note how both Putin and Lavrov are avoiding any mention they have abandoned their previously stated and Principles and Preconditions demanded of Ukraine to begin any negotiations as laid down in stone on 14 June 2024 to the MFA staffers and repeatedly referred to ever since.

On Africa - a monologue - an excellent presentation to accompany our impressions from BRICS and Lavrov's report.

Thanks for the Ritter/Nima chat link you provided. I let it be known to the bar. I’ll find time for this too. Pepe’s latest at Sputnik shows the West losing the chip war, https://sputnikglobe.com/20250429/pepe-escobar-china-steps-up-its-game-in-the-global-ai-race-1121952812.html
Thank you Karl, that was a good read. I am so pleased to see Huawei making great strides.
Methinks the usa overreach has broken its wrist.

Karl says:
The “proposal” was that put forth by Putin last year when the grounds for negotiations were outlined within Putin’s address to the Foreign Ministry.
No, sorry but you are sadly mistaken. He is in fact referring to the "proposal" made to Witkoff on April 25th. https://www.swentr.site/russia/616361-putin-talks-ukraine-witkoff/

Sorry, but Russia never ceased attempting to negotiate with Ukraine, thus there’s no “resumption” to occur.
