"NATO is superior to Russia in the number of soldiers, aviation and navy, but inferior in artillery and nuclear charges: BILD infographic
Today, a NATO summit dedicated to the 75th anniversary of the alliance opens in Washington. Ahead of the meeting, BILD compiled a detailed infographic comparing the armed forces of 32 NATO countries with Russia and China.
▫️ A total of 3,438,097 people serve in the armies of NATO countries. Almost half of them are in the US Army (highlighted in red on the graph). This is more than Russia and China combined.
▫️ NATO countries together have 1,894 MLRS and 11,710 self-propelled artillery units. Russia alone is ahead of them all in both indicators.
▫️ NATO has 3,387 combat aircraft and 9,030 helicopters. This is more than Russia and China combined.
▫️ In terms of the number of destroyers (95), submarines (144), frigates (134) and aircraft carriers (17), NATO is ahead of Russia and China combined.
▫️ The USA, France and Great Britain have fewer nuclear warheads in total (5559) than Russia alone (5580)."

🇰🇷🗣 🇺🇸 ❗️ 🇰🇵 — 🇬🇧 Reuters | Exclusive-South Korea's Yoon to discuss Pyongyang's 'distinct threat' to Europe at NATO | July 8, 2024:
"SEOUL (Reuters) -South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol said he would discuss with NATO leaders the distinct threat North Korea poses to Europe by deepening military ties with Russia, warning that Moscow must choose between the two Koreas where its true interests lie.
It "depends entirely" on Russia where it wants to take future ties with South Korea, Yoon said, adding that Seoul would make a decision on weapons support for Ukraine based on how a new military pact between Moscow and Pyongyang plays out.
"Military co-operation between Russia and North Korea poses a distinct threat and grave challenge to the peace and security on the Korean peninsula and in Europe," Yoon told Reuters."

EU’s law enforcement agency Europol is another major entity that is setting its sights on breaking encryption.
This time, it’s about home routing and mobile encryption, and the justification is a well-known one: encryption supposedly stands in the way of the ability of law enforcement to investigate.
The overall rationale is that police and other agencies face serious challenges in doing their job (an argument repeatedly proven as false) and that destroying the internet’s currently best available security feature for all users – encryption – is the way to solve the problem.
Europol’s recent paper treats home routing not as a useful security feature, but, as “a serious challenge for lawful interception.” Home routing works by encrypting data from a phone through the home network while roaming.

🇨🇱Chile will consider 81 lithium projects proposals from private sector
Chilean officials on Tuesday said they will consider 81 proposals for lithium projects across the South American country, putting the country on track to surpass a goal of launching four new projects by the end of 2026.
Chile in April called for proposals in more than two dozen salt flats that contain the battery metal, in line with the government's aims to boost production. It is currently the world's No. 2 producer.
The interested firms are mostly based in Chile, as well as Canada, Australia, Switzerland, the United States, China, Singapore, England, Germany and India. They submitted proposals for 16 salt flats as well as other types of deposits containing lithium.

"The Law on Transparency of Foreign Influence is a clear backslide on nine steps, and the anti-Western, anti-European rhetoric is fully incompatible with the stated aim of joining the European Union," Herczynski said, adding that the decision to halt Georgia's EU accession process had been made on June 27.

NATO seeks to expand partnerships with Indo-Pacific states, US official says
"WASHINGTON -- NATO and its Indo-Pacific partners -- Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand -- will discuss defense industrial cooperation when they meet on Thursday, according to a senior U.S. official.
Michael Carpenter, senior director for Europe at the U.S. National Security Council, said on Monday that the security of Europe is intertwined with that of the Indo-Pacific -- a concept often mentioned by Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida.
"So this is an important time for us to be able to coordinate on such things as resilience, countering disinformation, defense industrial cooperation and a range of other things," Carpenter said, speaking at the Foreign Press Center in Washington ahead of the NATO summit, which opens Tuesday."

So there you have it: commodities, equities, real estate - bitcoin is coming for it. It is literally a force of nature, and the train isn't stopping.

💸 What Comes After the Dollar dies 💸
Modern economies have been moving in the direction of ledger money not for years or decades, for centuries. The world's current reserve currency, the eurodollar, merely represented the second stage in the evolutionary process. Now that it has surpassed its useful life, the door is wide open for the third stage which seems tailor-made for something like Bitcoin. Why hasn't the digital ledger taken advantage of the opportunity? Is there some other kind which is?
