>> Part of why #China is funding #ElectionInterference for #GOP: (1) #taxCuts (2) #fiscalShortfall funded by sale of #debt to China, #SaudiArabia & #Russia
I've noted China brokering #rapprochement between #Iran & #SaudiArabia to derail peace between #ArabLeague & #Israel, and resulting #AxisOfResistance attacks as a precursor to US Election Interference.
Also noted China's #debtDiplomacy ensnaring poorer nations, but this angle of ensnaring #US in debt is new! Thanks!
The #EU adopted new measures against #Belarus for its role in #Russia's war on #Ukraine.
These include banning Belarusian registered trailers from transporting goods in the EU.
EU exporters insert in their future contract the so-called 'no-Belarus clause', through which they contractually prohibit the re-exportation to Belarus or re-exportation for use in Belarus of sensitive goods and technology, battlefield goods, firearms and ammunition.

Instead, Putin sees himself in a political war with us. And he benefits domestically by blaming the United States for all his ills.”

Weeks after the decision allowing #Ukraine to use #US-supplied weapons for limited strikes in Russian territory, the country is having some success in halting #Russia’s new push along the northeast front, but military commanders are clamoring for restrictions on long-range missiles to be lifted.
“Before, we couldn’t target them. It was quite complicated. All warehouses with ammunition and other resources were located a 20-kilometer distance beyond what we could hit,”

A new #US policy allowing #Ukraine to fire certain American weapons at Russian territory has led to a reduction in some Russian attacks but still restricts the range enough that it prevents Ukraine from hitting key airfields, two Ukrainian officials said. Those airfields are used by Russian jets that drop the deadly glide bombs now inflicting the greatest damage on military positions and civilians.
