During the day, Israeli aircraft carried out over two hundred air strikes on Lebanese territory, including the outskirts of the capital. The targets were both military and financial facilities associated with Hezbollah.

In turn, Hezbollah launched several dozen rockets and UAVs into Israel; most of the ammunition was intercepted or fell in vacant lots without causing damage.

Fighting continues on the contact line, the IDF is conducting engineering work in the occupied territory of Lebanon, destroying various objects, including one of the UN posts.

In the north of the Gaza Strip, fighting continues in Jabaliya and the surrounding area, the IDF was able to advance into urban areas and carried out several more airstrikes with a large number of casualties.

In the central and southern parts of the enclave, the situation remains relatively stable; air and UAV strikes continue to hit Palestinian-controlled settlements.

Pro-Iranian formations once again launched a UAV across Israel, but as before, the borders of the Jewish state were not violated.

🌎⚡️🇺🇦 — 🏴 ZeroHedge | Which Donor Countries Are Pulling Their Weight In Ukraine Aid? | October 20, 2024:

"Having presented his so-called "victory plan" to his European and US allies, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky continues his Dickensian demands for "moar" (but this time with a threat of nukes).

Data from the Ukraine Support Tracker at the Kiel Institute for the World Economy shows that while the governments of the United Kingdom and Germany are certainly pulling their weight in their support of the Ukrainian war effort, France and Italy have fallen somewhat behind as Ukraine's tenth and 14th biggest donors (including pledges) as of August 31.

The countries have so far committed less than 0.2 percent of their 2021 GDPs each to Ukraine wartime aid, compared to around 0.4 percent in the case of the Germany and the United States and even 0.47 percent in the case of the United Kingdom."

🗣💸🤝🇺🇦 — 🇺🇸 The Wall Street Journal | Pentagon Chief Arrives in Kyiv Without Any Sign of Budging on Ukraine’s Biggest Weapons Requests | Lloyd Austin has helped bolster Ukraine’s fight against Russia but has argued for limiting military aid | October 21, 2024:

"KYIV—Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin arrived in Kyiv on Monday bearing a message of strong U.S. commitment to Ukraine’s war effort but with no new military assistance or permission for its forces to use long-range missiles inside Russia.

Austin, a former four-star Army general, has led the Western response to the conflict since the early days of the war, coordinating more than $64 billion in U.S. military aid for Kyiv and tens of billions more from Europe.

But his visit to Kyiv, an unannounced stop that will likely be his last to the Ukrainian capital as Pentagon chief, underscored the continuing debate over whether the Biden administration—and Austin himself—has hobbled Ukraine’s war effort with a cautious approach to providing American-made weapons and restrictions on their use."

🇺🇸❗️🇮🇱🇺🇦❌🇮🇷🇷🇺 — 🇺🇸 Ron Paul Institute | Why Should We Fight Wars for Ukraine and Israel? | October 21, 2024:

"When you take on the role of the world’s policeman, don’t be surprised when countries who cannot fight their own wars call “911.” That is exactly what is happening to the United States on two fronts and it is bankrupting our country, depleting the military that should serve our own national interest, and threatening to drag the US into World War III.

Last week, Ukraine’s “president” Vladimir Zelensky publicly presented his “Victory Plan.” It was delusional: immediate NATO Membership for Ukraine, NATO strikes against incoming Russian missiles, and permission to use Western long-range missiles for strikes deep into Russia including Moscow and St. Petersburg.

The real intent was not hard to understand. Ukraine is on the verge of losing its war with Russia and is desperate to draw the United States military into the fight. There were numerous opportunities to avoid this bloody war but at every step the Ukrainian leadership listened to western neocons (like Boris Johnson) and decided to keep fighting Russia down to the last Ukrainian."

🇷🇺📊📈❌💸 — 🏴 ZeroHedge | The Danger To The Dollar Isn't The Euro Or Yuan | Authored by Mike Shedlock via MishTalk.com | October 20, 2024:

"Russia GDP is now estimated at +3.8 percent, topping the US, despite sanctions. What’s going on?

(...)

It is worth looking at the autumn forecast for Russia by the Vienna Institute for International Economic Studies, one of the best sources of economic information for central and eastern Europe. They upgraded their growth forecast for this year by 0.6pp to 3.8%. Russia is outgrowing all western economies, including the US. Growth is forecast to slow down to 2.5% next year because of the impact of a 19% interest rate. It is clear that Russia’s economic expansion is a classic case of a wartime Keynesian effect.

It is also interesting to contrast Russia’s economic development with that of Ukraine’s main supporters in Europe, which have entered into synchronised austerity, first in Germany, and now in France and the UK.

Russia’s fiscal stability is perhaps the biggest surprise. Defence spending is on trajectory towards 6% of GDP. And yet, the 2024 budget deficit is projected at 1.5%, falling to 1% in 2025.

Vasily Astrov, the Russia expert at WIIW, concludes that Putin will have money for the foreseeable future to continue financing the war against Ukraine. A rise in income and corporate tax has meant that Russia’s state finance will become less dependent on energy.

Financial sanctions are ultimately not as successful as their advocates once believed because money is not a natural global monopoly. International banks are certainly susceptible to US dollar sanctions. But not all banks in the world operate in dollar markets. The use of secondary sanctions has become a first-order instrument in the US’s diplomatic toolkit in this century. But it falls into the category of instruments which lose their value the more you use them. Even amongst US economists, we see a lot of complacency about this. It was friction combined with network effects that favoured the emergency of a single dominating currency – the pound sterling, the dollar later. The danger to the dollar is not the euro, or renminbi. It is that micro-channels are becoming viable as technology reduces the frictions.

Lessons of the Day
The more you depend on sanctions, the less they work.

That’s the real risk to the dollar."

🌎💸📈 — 🏴 ZeroHedge | The $100 Trillion Global Debt Bomb And Financial Shock Risk | Authored by Daniel Lacalle | October 21, 2024:

"This week, the IMF stated that “our forecasts point to an unforgiving combination of low growth and high debt, a difficult future,” emphasizing that “governments must work to reduce debt and rebuild buffers for the next shock, which will surely come, and maybe sooner than we expect.”

This advice comes with a warning. At the current rate of spending, the US debt to GDP will reach 198% by 2050 even without expecting a recession. The G-7 public debt to GDP is expected to soar to 188%; the global figure would rise to 122%. Only one country will reduce debt. The IMF expects Germany to reduce its debt from 63.5% to 42%. In the case of Japan, the IMF expects public debt to reach a staggering 329%. The IMF’s Fiscal Monitor informs that public debt levels will reach $100 trillion in 2024, driven by China and the US.

(...)

One of the fastest growing debt burdens is the United States one. Over the next five years, the IMF anticipates an annual increase in public debt to GDP of nearly three percentage points. It is important to note that the IMF does not foresee a crisis or recession, so this will happen in a growth and job-creation environment."

🌐🌐⚡️🇷🇺 — 🏴 ZeroHedge | Escobar: The Geoeconomic Drivers Of SCO-BRICS Synergy | Authored by Pepe Escobar | October 21, 2024:

"One week before the absolutely crucial BRICS summit in Kazan, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) held a summit in Islamabad.

This convergence is important in more ways than one.

The summit in Pakistan involved the Council of the Heads of Government of SCO member-states. Out of it came a joint communique stressing the need to implement decisions taken at the SCO annual summit last July in Astana: that’s where the heads of state actually gathered, including new SCO full member Iran.

China, following the rotating SCO chairmanship of close ally Pakistan – now under a dodgy administration fully endorsed by the military goons who keep ultra-popular former Prime Minister Imran Khan in jail – has officially taken over the SCO presidency for 2024 to 2025. And the name of game, predictably, is business.

The motto of the Chinese presidency is – what else – “action”. So Beijing took no time to start promoting further, faster synergy between the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and the Eurasia Economic Union (EAEU), whose predominant power is Russia.

Cue to the Russia-China strategic partnership fast advancing trans-Eurasia economic corridors. And that brings us to a couple of key connectivity subplots featured prominently at the Islamabad summit.

Riding the steppe
Let’s start with the fascinating Steppe Road – which is a Mongolian idea crystalizing as an upgraded economic corridor. Mongolia is an observer at the SCO, not a full member: reasons for it are quite complex. Still, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin raved about the Steppe Road with his SCO interlocutors.

The Mongolians came up with the idea of a Taliin Zam (“Steppe Road” in Mongolian) back in 2014, containing no less than “Five Great Passages”: a maze of transport and energy infrastructure to be built with investments totaling at least $50 billion.

These include a 997 km-long transnational expressway linking Russia-China; 1,100 km of electrified railway infrastructure; the expansion of the – already running – Trans-Mongolian Railway from Sukhbaatar in the north to Zamyn-Uud in the south; and Pipelineistan of course, as in new oil and gas pipelines linking Altanbulag in the north to Zamyn-Uud.

Mongolian Prime Minister Oyun-Erdene Luvsannamsrai was as enthusiastic as Mishustin, announcing that Mongolia has already finalized 33 Steppe Road projects.

These projects happen to neatly align with Russia’s own Trans-Eurasian Corridor – a connectivity maze which includes the Trans-Siberian Railway, the Trans-Manchurian Railway, the Trans-Mongolian Railway and the Baikal Amur Mainline (BAM)."
