1/5 Elon Musk is attacking Wikipedia after failing to buy it in order to turn it into a Kremlin propaganda machine (he really doesn't want you to verify facts!) Image
2/5 Elon Musk has once again criticized Wikipedia and urged his followers to stop donating to the platform. He previously made an offer to purchase Wikipedia, and it seems that offer is still on the table. Image
3/5 Musk seems determined to hinder Americans' ability to easily verify facts or access information. He appears willing to do whatever it takes to make many Americans even more unaware than they already are. Image
4/5 Now is the perfect time to donate to Wikipedia to ensure it remains as it is and doesn't get purchased by a far-right oligarch who would transform it into a Kremlin propaganda tool. Image
5/5 Sources:
NY Post - Elon Musk urges supporters not to donate to Wikipedia after it spent $50M on DEI: ‘Wokepedia’
The Economic Times - Elon Musk’s $1 Billion Offer to Wikipedia Still Stands Image

1/8 The Price of Blood: Western companies that invested in china and russia and cannot sell or list their businesses are facing the consequences they deserve. Supporting authoritarian regimes that are also our enemies carries significant risks, and they are now experiencing them Image
2/8 The world’s largest private equity firms have been unable to sell or list their china-based portfolio companies this year, as Beijing's crackdown on initial public offerings and a slowing economy have left foreign investors' capital stranded in the country. Image
3/8 According to Dealogic data, none of the 10 largest global private equity firms operating in china have listed a chinese company or fully sold their stake through an M&A deal this year. Image

1/8 Stagflation: a term that will soon be familiar to many russians as the country prepares to confront it, especially now that russia's central bank appears to have given up Image
2/8 As mentioned by Anders Puck Nielsen in his latest video, russia is confronted with a dilemma where its economy requires a lower key interest rate to prevent stagnation, yet simultaneously needs a higher key interest rate to curb inflation. Image
3/8 russia is about to experience stagflation, a unique scenario characterized by simultaneous economic stagnation and inflation. However, unlike typical stagflation situations, russia is not going to encounter high unemployment due to a labor shortage. Image

1/19 My Christmas gift to you: a look at russia's biggest failures of 2024. Brace yourself, as there have been plenty, and 2025 is likely to bring even more challenges Image
2/19 2024 has been another disastrous year for russia, which has not met its objectives on the front despite heavy losses and continues to fight on its own territory nearly three years into the full-scale invasion. russia is unlikely to achieve its strategic goals in this war Image
3/19 Ukraine's Kursk operation marked a significant failure for russia, which is so stretched in Ukraine that it couldn't adequately defend its quieter border regions. Ukraine truly humiliated russia in August. Image

1/10 Ignorant, evil, or both? Elon Musk is either out of control or losing it by openly supporting a German pro-russia, pro-china, anti-US, national socialist political party. His interference in German elections should not be tolerated! Image
2/10 Musk has publicly endorsed the German AfD by asserting that it is the sole solution to save Germany, a claim he has repeatedly reinforced since initially making it. Image
3/10 The AfD is a pro-russia, pro-china, anti-US, national socialist party filled with racists, opposing US interests and advocating for market regulation, including rental caps. Musk either is unaware of this or has other motives for his support (likely both). Image

1/5 Time to man up! Trump and his administration will never persuade Putin to halt russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine through appeasement Image
2/5 Trump's Ukraine peace envoy, Keith Kellogg, acting like a hypocritical coward, condemned the recent assassination of russian Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov during an interview. Image
3/5 Kellogg was okay with Trump ordering the elimination of Soleimani, even though the US was not at war with iran. There are no wartime rules preventing Ukraine from targeting a russian general in its defense against russia's invasion. Image

1/6 Out of control: russia's central bank is projected to increase its key interest rate to 23% later this week. But will this rate hike be sufficient to rein in the rampant inflation driven by the failed invasion of Ukraine? Image
2/6 According to a Reuters poll, the russian central bank is anticipated to raise its key interest rate by an additional 200 basis points (bps) to 23% during its final rate-setting meeting of 2024 this week, driven by soaring inflation worsened by a declining rouble. Image
3/6 russia is in serious trouble as its increased key interest rate has failed to curb inflation, which has surged from 7.5% in June 2023 to 21% now. The central bank's benchmark rate was last at 23% in 2002. Will this be enough? Image
