Many believers in the United States are totally oblivious to religious persecution taking place around the world and really have little concept as to what is taking place. Most believers in the U.S. will get up in the morning, go through their daily activities: work, meals, appointments, leisure and go to bed at night without even a hint of a thought to believers in Christ that are being persecuted. Did you know religious persecution has been escalating in countries around the world? As a matter of fact, many are paying with their very lives on account of their faith. Executions alone in 2024 had a 32% increase compared to 2023. One of the leading persecutors is the CCP, the Chinese Communist Party. This Crosstalk seeks to increase your awareness as to what is going on with believers in China, but also in other countries around the world as well. Jeff King is president of International Christian Concern, an organization that has served the global persecuted church since 1995. Jeff is a leading expert on the matter of religious persecution. He's traveled to more than 70 countries thus gaining extensive knowledge of what is happening to religious freedom. He has a passion for the persecuted. He is author of Islam Uncensored and Last Words of the Martyrs.Concerning China, Jeff noted that leader Xi Jinping is currently in a crackdown phase. This phase includes knocking churches down, tearing down crosses, constant pressure to have churches come under state control, secret arrests, torture, abuse and murder. In spite of all this, the Marxist leaders there simply don't understand that the more you try to stamp out the church, the more it grows.

Depois de meses de escalada na disputa tarifária, Estados Unidos e China anunciaram, em conjunto, uma trégua de 90 dias nas tarifas recíprocas entre os dois países. Assim, as tarifas dos EUA sobre as importações chinesas vão cair de 145% para 30%. E as taxas da China sobre os produtos americanos serão reduzidas de 125% para 10%. Para explicar como os dois lados chegaram ao acordo – divulgado após uma série de reuniões entre autoridades comerciais durante o fim de semana na Suíça -, Natuza Nery conversa com o economista Otaviano Canuto. Professor na Universidade George Washington, nos EUA, Canuto detalha como as tarifas de Donald Trump refletiram na economia americana. Ele, que foi vice-presidente do Banco Mundial e diretor-executivo do FMI, analisa se a trégua entre EUA e China afasta o temor de recessão. Direto da China, o professor Marcus Vinicius de Freitas detalha os efeitos do tarifaço no país asiático, e quais as respostas do governo de Pequim. Ele, que dá aulas na Universidade de Relações Exteriores da China, fala sobre como foram as negociações entre as duas partes. Marcus Vinicius fala ainda sobre o que esperar do encontro entre Lula e Xi Jinping, marcado para esta terça-feira, e o qual o status da relação entre Brasil e China.

Critical minerals are required for the manufacturing of electronics, aerospace equipment, medical devices, and renewable energy technologies, making them essential for a country's economic and national security. These materials have been at the center of China's domestic and foreign policy for many decades, and China's ability to integrate internal industrial policies with foreign trade and investment policies has allowed them to gain dominance in the market. Meanwhile, the US has lagged behind China in terms of both access to and processing technology of critical minerals. The country has been heavily dependent on China for its critical minerals and struggles to find an alternative supplier.China's announcement to impose export restrictions on seven rare earth elements on April 4th has opened many conversations surrounding critical minerals, especially regarding the US and its supply chain vulnerabilities. What has China done to achieve their global dominance in the critical minerals sector, and what can the US do to address the overdependence issue they are facing today? To answer these questions and more, host Bonnie Glaser is joined by Gracelin Baskaran, the director of the Critical Minerals Security Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. She is a mining economist whose area of expertise is critical minerals and trade. Timestamps[00:00] Start[02:13] US Dependencies on Rare Earths and Critical Minerals[03:51] Sourcing from Latin America, Africa, and Asia[06:28] Environmental Harm from Mining and Processing[08:11] Deliberate Suppression of the Price of Rare Earths in the Market[11:06] Chinese Exports Restrictions on Seven Rare Earth Elements[14:08] US Administrations' Approaches to Critical Minerals Vulnerability[20:02] 2010 Fishing Boat Accident and Japan's Response [24:00] What might China do moving forward? [27:42] Timeframe for the US to Catch Up to China

Este martes se celebra el Foro China-CELAC en Pekín, cuando se cumplen 10 años de este mecanismo de diálogo y cooperación entre China y los 33 países de América Latina y el Caribe. El encuentro se realiza en medio de tensiones comerciales entre Estados Unidos y China y el deseo del gigante asiático de aumentar su presencia en Latinoamérica. El foro China-Celac (Comunidad de Estados Latinoamericanos y Caribeños), que tiene lugar en Pekín este martes, busca aumentar el acercamiento entre el gigante asiático y la región latinoamericana, con quien ha incrementado su cooperación comercial en los últimos años.Según explica Loreto Leyton, directora de la Fundación Chilena del Pacífico, China concentra casi el 13% de las exportaciones de América latina y es origen de cerca del 21% de sus importaciones, una cifra relevante en el comercio de la región, aunque el primer socio comercial siga siendo Estados Unidos.Leyton señala que, para Chile, “China es un destino fundamental de prácticamente toda su canasta exportadora, liderada por el cobre, pero en la que también ocupa un espacio muy importante otras exportaciones, como los productos agrícolas, salmones, madera, entre otros”. El Sector agrícola y de minerales; claves en la relación de China y América LatinaEconomistas como Rebecca Ray, investigadora de la Universidad de Boston, coincide en que los sectores claves de esta cooperación son y seguirán siendo el agropecuario y el de minerales.“En los últimos 20 años más de la mitad de las exportaciones de la región ALC (América Latina y el Caribe) hacia China han sido de cinco productos. Todos esos productos son materias primas, minerales y agropecuarias entre el cobre, el petróleo, la soja y la carne de res, por ejemplo”. Para Ray, todas las oportunidades de diálogo dentro del mecanismo China-Celac, los llevaría a avanzar y fortalecer las relaciones comerciales en esas dos áreas comerciales, que son los “sectores con mayores oportunidades de seguir creciendo”. La Franja y la Ruta, pieza central de la política exterior chinaAdemás de estos sectores también destaca la inversión china en infraestructura con mecanismos como la Iniciativa de la Franja y la Ruta, la versión del actual gobierno de Xi Jinping de lo que se conocía como la histórica ruta de la seda y que se considera una pieza central de la política exterior de su Gobierno. Con ella, China se beneficia al encontrar nuevos socios que no logra en su económica doméstica.“En estos momentos la economía China pasa por días difíciles, los inversionistas, las grandes empresas chinas siempre están buscando oportunidades, pero hay pocas oportunidades domésticas en comparación con la década pasada, cuando China tenía tasas de crecimiento económico de más que 10% al año”, explica Ray.La economista indica que está búsqueda de crecimiento del gigante asiático es uno de los incentivos para la iniciativa de la Franja y la Ruta, que desde un principio intenta “encontrar nuevos países, nuevos proyectos para las empresas chinas y expandir su presencia a nivel mundial, especialmente en mercados en los que son líderes, como el de las energías renovables”. A pesar de que el foro Celac-China es un encuentro ministerial, los presidentes Gustavo Petro de Colombia, Luis Inácio Lula da Silva de Brasil y Grabriel Boric de Chile destacan por su presencia directa en el evento, mostrando así su interés en consolidar a Pekín como su gran socio comercial.

El presidente de China, Xi Jinping, advierte en la inauguración del Foro CELAC de que las conductas intimidatorias solo conducen al aislamiento. Poco antes, el presidente de EEUU, Donald Trump, destaca las relaciones con China tras el acuerdo en Suiza y no descarta hablar con Xi esta semana. La Autoridad Independiente de Responsabilidad Fiscal cree que el aumento del presupuesto en defensa elevará el gasto público por encima de lo que calcula el Gobierno.

Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” talks about White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stunning the mainstream media and Trump's critics with a major trade deal between the US and the United Kingdom as well as a temporary de-escalation with Xi Jinping over the US- China trade deal and a significant lowering of tariffs between the United States and China; White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt delivering a perfectly savage response to a reporter accusing Donald Trump of trying to use the office of the president to enrich his businesses; Rep.LaMonica McIver getting caught trying to break into a New Jersey ICE detention facility, Kristi Noem's perfect comeback to Senator Chris Van Hollen over the controversy surrounding the deportation of Kilmar Ábrego García; why a McDonalds in Fairfax Virginia now has a doorbell to deal with non-stop youth violence; Bernie Sanders staunchly defending his hypocritical use of a private jet to Fox News' Bret Baier for his Fight the Oligarchy rallies with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez; “Real Time with Bill Maher's” audience cheering for Maher making clear that the young people of the Democratic Party like Hamas a lot more than any patriotism for America; and much more.

Sie wählen rechts, sprechen nur russisch und unterstützen Putin? Solchen und anderen Vorurteilen sehen sich russlanddeutsche (Spät-)Aussiedler*innen ausgesetzt. An aufrichtigem Interesse und Wissen um die bewegte Historie der rund 2,5 Millionen in Deutschland lebenden Russlanddeutschen mangelt es in unserer Gesellschaft. Ira Peter und ich sprechen deswegen um eine große und wenig gesehene Gruppe in Deutschland, Russlanddeutsche, und wir stellen die Frage sind sie "Deutsch genug?". Über das Verhältnis zwischen China und Russland wird viel spekuliert. Einerseits befürchten Beobachter:innen ein Bündnis der autoritären Regime. Andererseits widersprechen sich die geopolitischen Interessen Pekings und Moskaus oftmals. Auf der einen Seite nennen sich Xi Jinping und Wladimir Putin »gute Freunde«. Auf der anderen Seite ist unklar, ob die Länder sich auf Augenhöhe begegnen und wie sich die Machtbalance verschoben hat. Sören Urbansky und Martin Wagner haben dazu ein Buch geschrieben und sprechen mit mir über "Russland und China´s kurze Geschichte einer langen Beziehung". Enjoy!^^

No podcast ‘Notícia No Seu Tempo’, confira em áudio as principais notícias da edição impressa do jornal ‘O Estado de S.Paulo’ desta segunda-feira (12/05/2025): O governo federal poderá economizar até R$ 128,3 bilhões até 2029 se adotar as regras estabelecidas pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF) para controlar o crescimento das emendas parlamentares. De acordo com decisões do ministro Flávio Dino referendadas pela Corte, as emendas totais – incluindo as de gasto impositivo e não impositivo – não podem crescer mais do que o menor de três critérios: a variação das despesas discricionárias (não obrigatórias) do Executivo, o limite de crescimento do arcabouço fiscal (0,6% a 2,5% acima da inflação) ou a variação da Receita Corrente Líquida (RCL). O cálculo da potencial economia foi feito pelo Estadão/Broadcast e comparado com estimativas do Executivo no Projeto de Lei de Diretrizes Orçamentárias (PLDO) de 2026, que não seguiram os critérios mais rígidos estabelecidos do STF.

C dans l'air du 10 mai 2025 : Ukraine : les alliés maintiennent la pression sur MoscouLa réponse est symbolique : la visite en Ukraine des dirigeants français, allemand, britannique et polonais au lendemain des commémorations tenues à Moscou. Poutine, en effet, s'est affiché hier aux côtés d'une trentaine de dirigeants étrangers, dont Xi Jinping et Lula, pour une démonstration de force militaire. « La Russie restera le barrage indestructible contre le nazisme » a-t-il affirmé pour justifier le conflit en Ukraine.Les alliés de Zelensky ripostent donc aujourd'hui à Kiev, et appellent à un cessez-le-feu de trente jours dès lundi. Mais les yeux sont tournés vers Washington, où le président américain perd patience face à une situation qui n'avance pas depuis son retour à la Maison Blanche. Le ton change envers Poutine : « Peut-être que le président russe me balade » a affirmé Trump.Pendant ce temps, en France, l'industrie de la défense essaie de prendre des parts de marchés aux Américains. Si l'Hexagone se classe deuxième en matière d'exportations mondiales d'armes, elle reste encore loin derrière les États-Unis. F-35 versus Rafale : une guerre acharnée. Une priorité européenne est donc réclamée par les industriels. Mais un Rafale aurait été abattu cette semaine par l'armée pakistanaise, ce qui donnerait pour la première fois l'image du fleuron de Dassault tombant au combat.Négocier la paix n'exclut pas de prépare la guerre. En France toujours, des régiments s'entraînent au largage d'hommes et de matériel dans le cas où l'alerte Guépard est déclenchée. Les soldats devraient donc être capables d'être projetés à n'importe quel endroit du globe en 48h si le président de la République leur demandait. C dans l'air a assisté à des entraînements près de Toulouse.Alors, la trêve demandée par les alliés a-t-elle une chance d'aboutir ? Comment la France peut-elle mieux concurrencer les Américains en matière d'exportation d'armes ? Comment se prépare l'armée française en cas de nécessité de réaction immédiate ?LES EXPERTS : Isabelle LASSERRE - Correspondante diplomatique au Figaro, spécialiste des questions de stratégie et de géopolitiqueGénéral Patrick DUTARTRE - Général de l'armée de l'Air et de l'Espace, ancien leader de la Patrouille de France et ancien pilote de chasseAlain PIROT - Journaliste, documentariste, spécialiste des questions de défensePatricia ALLÉMONIÈRE - Grand reporter, spécialiste des questions internationales

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief:    First, Vladimir Putin violates his own unilateral ceasefire with a wave of airstrikes on Ukraine. Meanwhile, the Russian strongman met with Chinese President Xi Jinping and Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro in Moscow ahead of his big “Victory Day” celebrations. Later in the show—military tensions escalate between nuclear-armed neighbors India and Pakistan, as both sides accuse each other of launching drone and missile attacks. Plus—Israeli leaders say they are prepared to defend themselves without American support against the Iranian-backed Houthis, in the wake of the Trump administration's surprise ceasefire with the terror group. In our 'Back of the Brief—the Catholic Church has elected a new pope, for the first time in history choosing an American to serve as the new Bishop of Rome.

Cultural and Media CritiquesDisney's Hypocrisy and Cultural Influence (00:06:44 - 00:21:52)Travis exposes Disney's contradictory stance, operating a UAE theme park despite local anti-homosexuality laws while promoting progressive agendas in the U.S. He labels Disney a “grooming syndicate” driven by greed, citing Bob Iger's opposition to Florida's anti-grooming bill and inappropriate content in Star Wars: Andor as evidence of cultural manipulation.Critique of Modern Art and Hollywood (00:24:24 - 00:27:14)Travis denounces Hollywood and modern art for their soulless, ironic output, citing a Luigi Mangione musical as disrespectful. He accuses them of Marxist influences (e.g., Saul Alinsky) and spinelessness, failing to engage reality with depth or sincerity.Encouraging Christian Art (00:30:34 - 00:33:55)Travis calls for Christians to create art to counter demonic cultural influences, praising Doctor Universalis for its depiction of communion and emphasizing self-publishing's accessibility as a tool for cultural resistance.Hollywood's Decline and AI Art (00:36:29 - 00:39:07)Travis attributes Hollywood's decline to satanic influences and corporate control (e.g., BlackRock). He notes AI-generated art replicates vapid content, lacking depth and serving corporate quotas, reflecting a broader cultural decay.Political and Bureaucratic IssuesNew Pope's Background (01:03:09 - 01:06:25)Travis discusses the new American pope, Robert Prevost (Pope Leon XIV), highlighting his opposition to same-sex marriage and gender studies. He criticizes the media's focus on political metrics (e.g., Trump support) over theological substance.China-Russia Alliance (01:39:39 - 01:44:46)Travis warns of Xi Jinping and Putin's alliance to counter Western hegemony, noting their pursuit of power rather than anti-globalism. He predicts escalating U.S. conflict as a result of this geopolitical shift.Bureaucracy's Treason (01:50:50 - 01:54:22)Travis invokes Julien Benda's The Treason of the Clerics to critique intellectuals' political passions, calling Trump weak for failing to confront bureaucratic resistance and questioning his commitment to reform.War and Its ImpactsWar's Brutality in Storm of Steel (01:19:47 - 01:26:39)Travis reflects on Ernst Jünger's Storm of Steel, reading passages about World War I's romanticized yet brutal reality. He rejects notions of “safe” war, emphasizing its unchanging horror through vivid soldier experiences.Technology and SocietyAI in Courtroom (00:41:25 - 00:43:50)Travis finds an AI-generated victim impact statement in an Arizona courtroom alarming, warning of future psychological programming abuses and comparing it to dystopian scenarios.Automotive Industry (Eric Peters Interview)Loss of Driving Freedom (02:06:05 - 02:09:27)Travis and Eric lament the erosion of driving freedom due to regulations, high costs, and police presence. Eric sees an agenda to discourage car ownership, contrasting past affordability with modern constraints.Car Complexity and Debt Cycles (02:12:36 - 02:15:27)Eric and Travis critique modern cars' complexity and planned obsolescence, which trap consumers in debt. They view cars as shackles rather than symbols of freedom, reflecting broader societal control.Authoritarian Aesthetics (02:21:46 - 02:24:48)Eric links bland, uniform car designs to authoritarian ugliness (e.g., East Germany), while Travis mourns homogenized city skylines, both seeing a loss of beauty driven by regulatory and corporate forces.Follow the show on Kick and watch live every weekday 9:00am EST – 12:00pm EST https://kick.com/davidknightshow Money should have intrinsic value AND transactional privacy: Go to https://davidknight.gold/ for great deals on physical gold/silver For 10% off Gerald Celente's prescient Trends Journal, go to https://trendsjournal.com/ and enter the code KNIGHT Find out more about the show and where you can watch it at TheDavidKnightShow.comIf you would like to support the show and our family please consider subscribing monthly here: SubscribeStar https://www.subscribestar.com/the-david-knight-showOr you can send a donation throughMail: David Knight POB 994 Kodak, TN 37764Zelle: @DavidKnightShow@protonmail.comCash App at: $davidknightshowBTC to: bc1qkuec29hkuye4xse9unh7nptvu3y9qmv24vanh7Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-david-knight-show--2653468/support.

He rejects notions of “safe” war, emphasizing its unchanging horror through vivid soldier experiences.Technology and SocietyAI in Courtroom (00:41:25 - 00:43:50)Travis finds an AI-generated victim impact statement in an Arizona courtroom alarming, warning of future psychological programming abuses and comparing it to dystopian scenarios.Automotive Industry (Eric Peters Interview)Loss of Driving Freedom (02:06:05 - 02:09:27)Travis and Eric lament the erosion of driving freedom due to regulations, high costs, and police presence. Eric sees an agenda to discourage car ownership, contrasting past affordability with modern constraints.Car Complexity and Debt Cycles (02:12:36 - 02:15:27)Eric and Travis critique modern cars' complexity and planned obsolescence, which trap consumers in debt. They view cars as shackles rather than symbols of freedom, reflecting broader societal control.Authoritarian Aesthetics (02:21:46 - 02:24:48)Eric links bland, uniform car designs to authoritarian ugliness (e.g., East Germany), while Travis mourns homogenized city skylines, both seeing a loss of beauty driven by regulatory and corporate forces.Follow the show on Kick and watch live every weekday 9:00am EST – 12:00pm EST https://kick.com/davidknightshow Money should have intrinsic value AND transactional privacy: Go to https://davidknight.gold/ for great deals on physical gold/silver For 10% off Gerald Celente's prescient Trends Journal, go to https://trendsjournal.com/ and enter the code KNIGHT Find out more about the show and where you can watch it at TheDavidKnightShow.comIf you would like to support the show and our family please consider subscribing monthly here: SubscribeStar https://www.subscribestar.com/the-david-knight-showOr you can send a donation throughMail: David Knight POB 994 Kodak, TN 37764Zelle: @DavidKnightShow@protonmail.comCash App at: $davidknightshowBTC to: bc1qkuec29hkuye4xse9unh7nptvu3y9qmv24vanh7Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-real-david-knight-show--5282736/support.

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. The election of Peruvian-American Cardinal Robert Prevost as Pope Leo XIV is a fresh start for the Vatican. Or is it?  An early test of whether this papacy will amount to more of the same will be if the new pontiff continues the worst legacy of Pope Francis – namely, his toxic secret deal with the Chinese Communist Party. A damning documentary available for free at RepealtheDeal.org makes clear that the CCP has weaponized such legitimization by the Vatican to intensify its destructive domination of Catholics, their churches, their Bible and other people of faith.  In short, Pope Leo's decision will determine whether the Church will serve Jesus Christ – or a literal anti-Christ figure: China's dictator Xi Jinping, who is determined to be treated as a god, especially by faithful Christians. The world needs a new pope, not Francis 2.

Paul Schatz thinks China can play the "wait game" until the end of Trump's presidency. He argues that Chinese President Xi Jinping will force China to withstand trade losses, and that China is poised to withstand tariffs. When it comes to markets, Paul argues "one day, markets will wake up to bad tariff news and rally." However, he says there's a long road ahead before that happens.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

El Vaticano anunció este jueves la elección del nuevo papa tras un cónclave breve de dos días, pero decisivo. El cardenal Robert Francis Prevost, de nacionalidad estadounidense y peruana, fue presentado desde el balcón de la Basílica de San Pedro como el pontífice número 267 de la Iglesia católica, bajo el nombre de León XIV.Prevost es el primer papa nacido en Estados Unidos. Con formación en matemáticas, filosofía y derecho canónico, ha tenido una carrera sólida en la Curia romana y una intensa labor pastoral en América Latina. Aunque mantiene un perfil reservado sobre temas sociales controvertidos, ha sido reconocido por su cercanía pastoral y vocación de servicio. Además… Trump saludó al nuevo papa, pero se conoció que León XIV era crítico del republicano; Sheinbaum y líderes globales también se sumaron a los saludos al nuevo pontífice; Estados Unidos y el Reino Unido anunciaron un acuerdo comercial; Xi Jinping y Vladimir Putin firmaron una declaración conjunta para “profundizar aún más” su asociación; Pakistán afirmó haber matado entre 40 y 50 soldados indios en la frontera de facto en Cachemira.Y para #ElVasoMedioLleno… De los rituales indígenas al laboratorio, la jurema preta, una planta amazónica con propiedades psicodélicas, parece ser una posible aliada contra la depresión.Para enterarte de más noticias como estas, síguenos en redes sociales.

President Trump has announced that his administration has reached a trade deal with the United Kingdom. Speaking in the White House, President Trump said the agreement would provide access to the British market for American beef and agricultural and industrial products.The presidents of Russia and China, Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping, have held what they described as productive talks at the Kremlin. China is Russia's biggest trading partner. It buys large amounts of oil and gas, helping to compensate for the loss of Western markets that followed Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.And Andrew Peach hears that Western Sahara, a disputed territory in North Africa, is experiencing a major economic change. Why? Well, it traces back to President Trump's 2020 decision to recognise Morocco's claim over the region, and now, with Trump back in power, highways, airports, and wind farms are rising from the desert in a multi-billion dollar development push.

C dans l'air du 8 mai 2025 : L'Amérique va-t-elle lâcher l'Ukraine ?Moscou se barricade. À la veille de la traditionnelle célébration du 9 mai sur la place rouge, un dispositif de sécurité XXL a été mis en place par le Kremlin, qui craint des attaques de drones ukrainiens. Vingt-neuf dirigeants étrangers, dont le chinois Xi Jinping et le brésilien Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, seront en tout cas parmi les invités. Vendredi s'annonce donc comme une grande démonstration de force militaire et diplomatique pour Poutine.Mais la situation en Ukraine patine, de l'aveu même des Américains qui voient s'éloigner la possibilité d'un accord de paix rapide. Le vice-président J.D Vance a exprimé ses inquiétudes concernant les exigences russes, donnant de fait raison à Volodymyr Zelensky. La crainte, à présent, est que la Maison Blanche lâche le dossier russo-ukrainien. Qu'en serait-il alors de son soutien militaire à l'Ukraine ?Pendant ce temps, Poutine est en pleine séquence de communication et de propagande. Pour acquérir le peuple à sa cause, se montrer plus proche de lui, et justifier cette guerre, il a récemment dévoilé son appartement privé à la télévision. Les chefs d'Etats invités demain seront aussi l'occasion pour lui de casser toute image d'isolement sur la scène internationale. Pendant ce temps, l'armée française s'inquiète des agissements russes dans l'espace. Entre attaques de satellites et hacking de communication, elle se prépare à toutes les possibilités pour se défendre. Alors, l'Amérique va-t-elle lâché le dossier ukrainien ? Quels sont les enjeux de la célébration de demain pour Poutine ?

//The Wire//2300Z May 7, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: INDIA/PAKISTAN SPAT REMAINS SHORT OF FULL-BLOWN WAR, SITUATION TENOUS REGARDLESS. USS TRUMAN LOSES ANOTHER AIRCRAFT OVERBOARD. STRATEGIC BUILDUP AT DIEGO GARCIA CONTINUES.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events-India/Pakistan: Though an all-out war has not yet begun, tensions remain high following yesterday's missile strikes. Examination of various debris fields does confirm that several Indian aircraft were shot down, including what looks to be the first combat loss of a Dassault Rafale fighter aircraft. However the total number of platforms lost overnight remains unclear.AC: For the moment, Pakistan has not conducted their counterattack yet, all of last-night's activities were knee-jerk defensive moves and not a deliberately planned counteroffensive.Red Sea/HOA: Yesterday President Trump announced a cessation of hostilities against the Houthi government due to the Houthis ceasing their targeting of commercial shipping. A few hours after this announcement, a Houthi spokesman stated that this is not true, and that the war is still on as before.In the Red Sea, the USS HARRY S TRUMAN suffered another aviation mishap, which involved the loss of another F/A-18 due to a failure of arresting gear during flight operations. Due to this failure, the pilot and weapons officer both ejected from the aircraft as it fell off of the flight deck. AC: Despite the PR disaster of losing two aircraft to mishaps within 7 days, these types of events happen fairly often. Arresting cables snap all the time, and sometimes there isn't enough airspeed left to successfully abort the landing and take off again. Aviation operations onboard an aircraft carrier are a risky business, and the increase in mishaps is often directly related to an increase in optempo. Regardless, the loss of a total of three aircraft, which are bombing a country that does not have any air force whatsoever, is not entirely a good look.Indian Ocean: The strategic buildup of bomber aircraft continues as 2x B-52 Stratofortress aircraft have forward deployed to Diego Garcia to supplement the 6x B2 Spirit stealth bombers already on the island. Two more B-52's have been observed by plane watchers heading toward the island as well, which would bring the total of B-52's to 4x.AC: The continual forward deployment of strategic resources to this island continues to present indications and warnings of a major military campaign. Additionally, this deployment highlights discrepancies with the rhetoric involving war with Iran.Russia: This afternoon Moscow's airspace was closed due to a mass Ukrainian drone attack. This was the first much anticipated drone attack that was expected to take place during Russia's celebration of Victory Day (and the festivities and parades taking place around May 9th). Russia's MoD states that 524x Ukrainian drones have been shot down over the past 24 hours. AC: These numbers obviously can't be independently confirmed, but it sounds about right. Ukraine, having shown obviously no interest in participating in a ceasefire, is heavily invested in doubling down to make a show during Victory Day events and parades. This is not only because a lot of functional military hardware is already staged in Moscow, but also because a lot of foreign dignitaries are visiting. China's Xi Jinping arrived in Moscow this morning, and his presence alone raises the stakes of the war on both sides. Over the next 24-48 hours, Russia will be very concerned with defending the airspace of her capital city...and Ukraine will be very motivated to target it. -HomeFront-U.S.A. - Around the nation the REAL ID Act went into effect today.

In this week's episode of China Insider, Miles Yu discusses the Xi Jinping's recent trip to Shanghai as China seeks to solidify its role in the Global South and promote domestic AI innovation and development. Next, we revisit trade tensions between the United States and China and assess the potential for bilateral trade negotiations to resolve the ongoing trade war. Lastly, we examine China's current trade policy and economic growth in the face of continued United States tariffs, and the consequences of a sustained economic conflict for China.

Tennessee Congressman Tim Burchett discusses the latest political maneuverings behind the scenes in Washington. Congressman Burchett shares insights on the current political landscape, the importance of American interests abroad, and the challenges faced by Congress in promoting President Trump's agenda. Clifford May, founder and president of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, discusses the troubling statistics reported by the Anti-Defamation League, the influence of universities, and the connections between radical ideologies. May sheds light on the complexities of foreign policy, including the roles of Qatar and the UN in perpetuating these issues, and the challenges faced in combating hatred on a global scale. Finally, Scott Powell, Senior Fellow at the Discovery Institute, discusses the profound impact of economic decisions on national security, particularly regarding China. Powell highlights China's economic transformation under Deng Xiaoping and Xi Jinping's hardline communist stance. He believes President Trump's tariffs and strategic moves could leverage China's dependency on the U.S. market. They also touch on the potential for isolating China through deals with other countries. Powell emphasizes the importance of U.S. energy independence, noting advancements in fracking technology.

The business owner from Guangzhou Province said his orders from the United States “evaporated” as the levies escalated. Li is not alone. Most Chinese exporters are in the same boat. On social media platforms in China, they discuss their dilemma. A few said they were immune from the impact of U.S. tariffs owing to their irreplaceable products. These exporters reported that U.S. orders formed the majority of their business—and were the most lucrative. Without the American market, no other region, including Europe, can fill the void. Beijing will have trouble backing down from its standoff with the United States, he said, because Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping “has clearly created his whole persona around being the leader who can stand up to America.” Given the irreplaceable nature of the U.S. consumer market in China's export-driven economy, Martin said, Beijing will “have to make a deal at some point, or this recession does turn into a depression.” The Chinese regime can probably keep exporters afloat for about six months to a year if it doesn't resolve the trade war with the United States, Lee projected.  Since then, total additional U.S. tariffs have risen to 145 percent. Li's 100-employee small business used to earn a monthly revenue of more than 1 million yuan   Another way to avoid tariffs is transshipment—sending products to a third country before they're shipped to the United States. However, that has also become more difficult. For those who want to establish a facility in Vietnam, the production capacity there is small compared to China's capacity, the manufacturers said. In addition, the United States has applied a universal 10 percent tariff that is in place for the usual transshipment hubs, including Vietnam and Cambodia. Social unrest due to the lack of jobs will be another sign of China entering a depression, according to Yeh.
