The potential threat of nuclear war is no more dangerous than the existential problem of climate change and there is no hierarchy in this regard, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Sunday.
"Well, you can't, I think, have a hierarchy. There are some things that are front and center – the wolf at the door – including potential conflict, but there's no doubt that climate represents an existential challenge to all of us," Blinken told Australian show, when asked what he considered to be a greater challenge for humanity — nuclear war or global climate change.

US billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk says the Twitter headquarters will stay in San Francisco despite the fact that many companies have left the city.
"Many have offered rich incentives for X (fka Twitter) to move its HQ out of San Francisco. Moreover, the city is in a doom spiral with one company after another left or leaving.

🇷🇺🇧🇾 Russian nuclear weapons to stay in Belarus unless US, NATO quit hostile policy, diplomat says
💬 The hypothetical withdrawal can be possible "only if the US and NATO abandon their destructive course of purposefully undermining the security of Russia and Belarus. This stipulates the complete withdrawal of all American nuclear weapons to the territory of the US with the elimination of the corresponding infrastructure in Europe," Aleksey Polishchuk, a senior Russian diplomat, told Sputnik.
The deployment of the tactical nuclear weapons is a forced containment measure, designed to ensure the security of Belarus, which has a common defense space with Russia, Polishchuk said.

🇺🇸🇦🇺 Blinken assures Australia will get its subs amid GOP threats to block transfer
The Secretary of State “fully expects” the US to move forward with the delivery of Virginia-class nuclear submarines to Australia, notwithstanding growing resistance from some US lawmakers.
Blinken also dismissed concerns by his interviewer that the AUKUS deal, which promises promising to provide Canberra with nuclear submarine technology in exchange for basing rights, comes “too late” amid growing tensions between the US and China over Taiwan.

Exclusive: Ukraine-Bound Arms 'End Up on Our Continent' & in Terrorists' Hands, Burkinabe President Says
Western weapons shipped to Ukraine do not all end up on the Eastern Front. Some of that ammo ends up in Africa, where they are bought up by terrorists, as the President of the Transition, Ibrahim Traore, told Sputnik Africa.
These parallel circuits, fed by arms traffickers, further worsen the security dilemma in Africa, the head of state pointed out, and in particular, it aggravates the detrimental situation for Burkina Faso, which is waging its own war against terrorism.

🇨🇳🇫🇷 France says EU can survive influx of budget Chinese EVs as Russia sanctions take toll
“I think with our new legislative decisions, we pave the way in Europe for a less naïve approach, taking into account the level of emissions of the industry,” French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said, speaking to European business media, pointing to “green” subsidies announced in May for manufacturers who bake lower emissions levels into their production process.
The subsidies, expected to be worth between five and seven thousand euros per new vehicle sold, won’t be available for cars built using polluting plants, and are thus expected to limit the attractiveness of Chinese-made EVs. Le Maire said that Paris is “determined to support the European car industry and the French car industry.”
