UBS will be buying a world of corruption - it will colour the UBS image permanently, with corruption and systematic failures in compliance and due diligence.
On russian Telegram (which is monitored by the FSB): A russian publishes a rant.

If Russia cared about people and not territories, it would have simply resettled those who wanted to onto its lands, which are more than 90% empty, even before the war. It would not have mobilized the residents of the “new regions”, grinding them up in meaty assaults.
2/6
If Russia doesn't need the territories, then why is it clinging to them with its teeth and not ready to give them up in exchange for peace and the restoration of the rights of the Russian-speaking population , as the propaganda screams?

On russian Telegram: Putin fudges the housing crises, with a Trump styled alternative reality
Mutko muddies muddies muddies
Vitaly "let me speak from my heart" Mutko met with Putin today to discuss housing issues in Russia. And there (spoiler) everything is extremely bad.
1/1
Mortgages have already been recognized as a "dead" way to buy housing even in the State Duma. In 2024, mortgages fell by half. And the debt increased by 63%, which became a historical record. Only the elite of the real estate market, where prices don’t matter - is afloat.
2/2
Putin believes that Russia has everything to fix the issues with housing provision. He claims building materials are available, science is developing, and the process is well organized. The president clearly does not understand what is happening in the real estate market.

The US dumbfuckery on tariffs is going to result in a catastrophe that no-one has factored in.
I have published threads on the importance of Rare Earth Elements - and I have warned that China’s grip on REE’s is the USA’s most significant weakness in any dispute with China.
1/6
Currently the United States imports 78% of its rare earth requirements from China. When China shuts the US out of supply - this will result in a catastrophe that will be an economic apocalypse.
2/6
In the event of a massive deterioration or even conflict between the US and China, the supply of REE’s would end overnight which would have a massive, possible catastrophic impact on the global economy.
