🔸 Looks like its 2025 completion date just got a lot less certain. Image

🚨🇮🇱Israel's Global Spy Network: Meet the Countries Helping Mossad

Let's dissect the myth of Israeli intelligence supremacy. The recent assassinations operations in Iran and Lebanon weren't solo triumphs but exposes a regime dependent on external backing.

Here's how🧵 Image
🇸🇦🇦🇪Saudi Arabia & UAE:

Provide critical financial channels, political cover, and share vital intelligence on Iranian proxy movements through joint command centers. Image
🇪🇬🇯🇴Egypt & Jordan:

Offer territorial access for surveillance and coordinate border security, creating a perimeter that directly benefits Israeli intelligence operations. Image

🚨🇨🇳🇺🇸The Unwinnable Trade War? Why China's economic fortress is stronger than ever

The US just launched its most aggressive trade salvo yet with new tariffs. But this time, China isn't flinching, 2018 playbook is obsolete.

Here’s why the dynamics have shifted against the US🧵 Image
Factor 1: A Radically Different Global Macro Backdrop.

In 2018, China faced a perfect storm: aggressive Fed rate hikes and a domestic deleveraging campaign. This hurt global demand & Chinese exports.

Today? The mirror image. Central banks are easing, and major economies are deploying fiscal stimulus. Resilient Chinese exports now reflect resistant global consumption (especially in the US), not weak external demand. The tide is lifting all boats, China's included.Image
Factor 2: Structural Gains in Export Competitiveness.

This is the silent game-changer. Over the past 7 years, a prolonged domestic deflationary environment acted as a pressure cooker for Chinese manufacturers.

They've climbed the value chain, becoming more efficient and innovative. The result is a price-performance advantage that is extraordinarily difficult for competitors to replicate, even with subsidies. They are simply leaner and more competitive.Image

🚨🇷🇺🇺🇦Russia's Energy War 2.0: A Strategic Shift from Shock to Siege

Russia's campaign against Ukrainian energy is no longer about spectacle. It has evolved into a methodical, multi-year strategy to weaponize winter & fracture society.

Here's how👇🧵 Image
Phase 1 (2022-23): The Blunt Instrument.

Objective: Demonstrate capability & test resilience.

🔸Mass, indiscriminate strikes on large generation assets.

🔸Result: Severe but manageable via emergency measures (rolling blackouts, load maneuvering). The system, while wounded, proved adaptable.
Phase 2 (2024): From Disruption to Degradation.

A strategic pivot triggered by Kiev's escalation (e.g., Kursk incursion). The goal shifted:

🔸Old: Temporary disruption.

🔸New: Create a permanent energy deficit.

🔸Outcome: Rolling blackouts became the grim norm, exhausting rapid recovery capacity.

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇱🇵🇸Why Trump's Gaza Ceasefire is Doomed to Fail

The spectacle of world leaders gathering for a "peace plan" signing in Sharm El-Sheikh, is a significant political optic.

But the most telling detail was who wasn't in the room: neither Israel nor Hamas attended. 👇🧵 Image
This wasn't a peace signing. It was a "wedding without a bride or groom."

You can't forge an agreement between two warring parties when they refuse to even show up. This highlights a fundamental lack of buy-in from the primary actors in the conflict. Image
Why was Netanyahu absent?

A key reason: most attendees had recently recognized Palestinian statehood. Bibi, whose government explicitly rejects a Palestinian state, wanted no photos suggesting endorsement. This reveals an unbridgeable chasm between Israel's aims and the international consensus.Image

🚨🟨📈Gold Rush 2025: The Great Pivot Is Here

As gold smashes through $4,000/oz, a specific group of nations is leading a historic shift away from traditional reserves like the dollar.

These are the 10 countries ramping up now🧵 Image
🇷🇺 Russia

Russia is the textbook example of a nation rushing to ramp up its gold reserves. It added a massive ~450 tonnes in just the first half of 2025, a 43.8% increase from H1 2024. This aggressive buying spree has brought its total reserves to 2,329.63 tonnes (as of Q2 2025), valued at over $217 billion.Image
🇺🇸 United States

The US is not actively buying new gold; its strategy is one of holding. It maintains the world's largest reserve at 8,134 tonnes (261.5 million ounces). While it isn't "rushing to ramp up," the surge in the gold price to $4,000/oz has pushed the market value of its existing reserves to a historic $1+ trillion.Image
