1/ A fascinating presentation by General David Petraeus unfolded today at the Qatar Economic Forum's panel: "Return of the Multipolar World." His observations were both profound and timely, shedding light on the shifting global landscape. #QatarEconomicForum

2/ "Once upon a time, we bathed in the serene waters of benign globalization," the General remarked nostalgically. "Now, the seas have become tempestuous. We find ourselves navigating choppy waves of change." #Geopolitics
3/ Turning to the Eastern horizon, Petraeus noted the friction between China and the West as the most crucial issue of our era. But he dismissed the notion of 'decoupling' as impossible, reminding us of last year’s record-breaking US-China trade volumes. #ChinaWestRelations
"The future of #ChemicalEngineering"
I asked @slidesgpt to create a slide deck on the topic with #AI.
Some might say "pretty generic" again but let me tell you:
At every conference, there are presentations looking at least partially like this.
Let's go through it.

If you want to talk about the future, start with the past. Okay.
It also gives you a comment so that you can just make a karaoke session out of it:
"[...] Understanding this history is important for understanding the current state of the field and predicting its future."

⭐️Geopolitical dialectics – Wang says there's a struggle:
China's thesis of remodeling international order in line with historical trends (ideally with developing countries buy-in)

"West's" reactive anti-thesis of maintaining 🇺🇸 favourable status quo

So many are talking about #diesel & #gas shortages. Just a couple of facts from the latest @EIAgov This Week in Petroleum report.
1. US diesel stocks are below the 5 year average. Typically for this time we are between 120 to 140 million barrels of diesel.

2. In terms of days of supplies, last year we were sitting at 30 days of supplies, today we are at 25 days....
3. In terms of production of #diesel, we are above last year's 4.6 million barrels per day; currently producing 5 million barrels of day.
Okay, if production is up and supplies are down, what is the cause?
Are we driving more?
No, diesel use is down in the US.
Then what?

In 3 celebrated lectures, extensively re-worked since they were delivered first, Prof. Aijaz Ahmad discusses the progress of neo-imperialism & the increasing influence of fascism in the 3rd world societies & critically evaluates their resources – cultural, social & ideological.
Concerning the historical-structural power relationship between rulers & ruled, #GabrielRockhill (gabrielrockhill.com) citing #DavidHume:

While there is still considerable uncertainty over the forecast for #inflation, we think both Core #CPI and #PCE inflation peaked in March and February, respectively, and should move appreciably lower by the end of 2022.
Throughout the pandemic, strong disposable #income and limited services spending fueled consumer #spending on goods and high goods volumes created #bottlenecks and extreme #inflation.
Eventually, excessively easy #MonetaryPolicy caused this robust #inflation to broaden into less disrupted categories.

Last Thursday (s. ; or for the full live stream, s. ), @SevimDagdelen from #DieLinke has discussed with @RaniaKhalek & @EugenePuryear esp. the recently decided & billion-dollar rearmament of the German #Bundeswehr...
...as a result of the #RussianFederation's military invasion of #Ukraine, as officially justified by the #GermanFederalGovernment. A recommendable interview! Besides her opposition to such rearmament & the associated fundamental departure...
...from the so-called „#Entspannungspolitik“ established by #WillyBrand & #EgonBahr for #Germany's relationship with the #USSR (& also its territorially largest & politically strongest successor state in the form of the #RussianFederation),...
🇷🇺#Russia is not waging war on Ukraine, but on #Atlanticism - The evolution of the conflict in Ukraine is very significant - two worlds oppose each other: the world of sovereign countries, carried by Russia, & that of #globalization, crushed by Atlanticism.
1/13
1/13
If the weapons rumble on the Ukrainian territory, the conflict is indeed global, because the existence & the disappearance of one of these two worlds is at stake. By launching the military operation in Ukraine, Russia is not attacking Ukraine or Ukrainians. 2/13
The targets are military, it does not bomb towns or civilians, the Ukrainian soldiers are also coming in large numbers & the local authorities, for example in the Kharkov region, are now calling on the population to come to an understanding wit h Russia - the "new power". 3/13

Over the years, #China’s relationship with the #EU has withstood profound changes in the world. It has focused on dialogue, cooperation and mutual benefit, and demonstrated strong vitality by progressing with the times. 🇨🇳🇪🇺
It is important to stay committed to peaceful coexistence, open cooperation, #multilateralism, and dialogue and consultation. #China and the #EU are comprehensive strategic partners, not systemic rivals.
In 2020, #China became the #EU's largest trading partner for the first time. The two sides signed the agreement on #GeographicalIndications, decided to establish high-level dialogue mechanisms on #environment & #climate and on digital cooperation, and concluded #BIT negotiations.

Creating this doc, "I have felt particularly encouraged by the Grand Imam Ahmad Al-Tayyeb, with whom I met in Abu Dhabi, where we declared that “God has created all human beings equal in rights, duties and dignity, and has called them to live together as brothers and sisters” (5)
"As I was writing this letter, the Covid-19 pandemic unexpectedly erupted, exposing our false securities..Anyone who thinks that the only lesson to be learned was the need to improve what we were already doing, or to refine existing systems and regulations, is denying reality."(7
