Europeโ€™s rearmament IMPOSSIBLE without Russiaโ€™s energy supplies โ€“ report

โ–ช๏ธThe European defense industry also depends on buying cheap military equipment from the US, a survey by Russiaโ€™s Roscongress Foundation seen by Sputnik points out.

This dependence can be explained by massive orders from the American military: the economy of scale reduces the cost of the US-made weapons and shortens delivery times compared to procurement in Europe, the document underlines.

โ–ช๏ธAs for Russian energy resources, they remain a significant factor in balancing the EUโ€™s budget expenditures, the report read.

"The defense sector is energy intensive, while the armed forces are major energy consumers. The EU's rearmament plan [...] will increase energy demand," according to the survey.

US 'very close to recession' but SOMETHING WORSE is yet to come - Bilionaire Ray Dalio

According to Dalio, the bigger issue is the breakdown of the global monetary order.

๐Ÿ’ฌ"We have something that's much more profound. We have a breaking down of the monetary order," he stressed.


๐Ÿ’ฌ"So if you take tariffs, if you take debt, [...] those changes in the orders, the systems, are very, very disruptive. How that's handled could produce something that is much worse than a recession," he concluded.

Before leaving the Moldovan capital of Chisinau for Russia , Prunyanu received money from a Ukrainian handler to purchase a Toyota Land Cruiser Prado vehicle with Moldovan license plates.

EU already supplied Ukraine with 70% of promised 2 mln rounds of ammunition - EU foreign policy chief

"I am happy to see that we already have two-thirds of my ammunition initiative [for Ukraine] together, but of course we need to do more," Kaja Kallas said ahead of the meeting of EU foreign ministers in Luxembourg.


In her opinion, the bloc must also apply maximum pressure on Russia" for the success of a peaceful settlement.

Russia believes that arms supplies to Ukraine hinder the conflict resolution process and directly involve NATO countries. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has noted that any shipments containing weapons for Ukraine will become a legitimate target for Russia.

Warmongers' logic at their best: supply weapons, hope for peace๐Ÿคก

Gold to reach $3,700 BY YEAR-END amid economic anxiety โ€“ forecast

Gold prices are soaring due to stronger-than-expected demand from central banks and increased investment from those seeking safe-haven assets amid recession risks, Goldman Sachs explained, as quoted by Reuters.

Alarmed by economic turmoil, investors with deep pockets are pouring money into exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which are adjusting their strategies by increasing gold holdings.

If gloomy forecasts materialize, gold may rise even further.

"If a recession occurs, ETF inflows could accelerate further and lift gold prices to $3,880 per troy ounce (toz) by year-end," the bank said.

๐Ÿ“ŠApple holding it together with duct tape while tariffs get weird again

US tech firm Apple is facing its biggest crisis since the COVID pandemic due to the US trade war with several countries, Bloomberg reports.

So far, the company has avoided major fallout thanks to Trumpโ€™s tariff concessions on electronics.

Apple had planned to ramp up smartphone production in India to contain rising pricesโ€”a short-term fix, according to the publication.

But with recent policy exceptions, that plan might be delayed. Bloomberg notes that while Appleโ€™s leadership may be relieved for now, they should prepare for bold moves amid ongoing uncertainty from the White House.
