🇰🇷 South Korea presents 2024 draft budget with slowest year-over-year growth since 2005
The draft budget is only 2.8% bigger compared to the 2023 budget of 638.7 trillion won, a South Korean news agency noted. By contrast, the budget for 2023 was 5.1% bigger than in 2022.
"The tax revenue for both the current year and 2024 continues to present challenges, as the nation's fiscal landscape grapples with an enlarging deficit and an accumulated national debt exceeding 1,000 trillion won," Finance Minister Choo Kyung-ho was quoted as saying.

US National Archives has 5,400 Biden's emails to Hunter, signed by fake name
Earlier this month, the US House Oversight Committee requested information from the National Archives on the Robert Peters email address, which Biden allegedly used as a pseudonymous means of communication.
The panel has requested unredacted documents from the National Archives due to a belief that redactions could cover up the names of people copied on emails sent by the account, particularly on those pertaining to Ukrainian policy, US House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer said.
Among the pseudonyms used by Biden are the names Robin Ware, Robert L. Peters and JRB Ware.

Aging Leopard tanks 'not prepared' for combat in Ukraine hurt Rheinmetall's reputation
A former US Army commander told Sputnik that the lackluster performance of the Leopard tanks in Ukraine was hurting maker Rheinmetall, as the Western media has built the aging weapons up as the latest "wunderwaffe" or "wonder weapon" that would turn the tide against Russia.
It’s unclear how many Leopard 2s have taken part in the counteroffensive operation that began in June, but according to Earl Rasmussen, an international consultant and retired US Army lieutenant colonel, they have “absolutely not” been the game-changers they were imagined to be.

🇪🇺 EU member states are divided over a €86 billion funding request from Brussels that includes both aid for Ukraine and raises for EU officials. Now, the growing concern for EU leaders is their domestic budgets and doubts over Ukraine's situation.
The funding package comprises €66 billion for the EU budget and €20 billion in military aid for Ukraine over a four-year period, among other allocations.
Germany and the Netherlands oppose increased spending due to economic challenges as inflation and economic uncertainties persist in the Eurozone.

Dr. David Oualaalou, a leading geopolitical analyst, has criticized US objections to North Korea's nuclear deterrent, calling out the American government's stance as hypocritical.
"How can they trust us when we did that back in 1994 and we went back on our words by not building the nuclear reactor plant that we promised so they can get the nuclear fuel for their electricity?" Oualaalou asked. "We went back in our word and it's kind of like, 'No, we're not going to trust you, we're going to build our own'."
The US has repeatedly conducted joint military exercises with Japan and South Korea, claiming the drills are in part to counter North Korean threats.
However, North Korea's advancements in nuclear technology are linked to US broken agreements, with Pyongyang's defensive stance fueled by regional alliances and arms deals. Although the US has offered peace talks, past broken promises make North Korea skeptical.
