🚨🇵🇸 Vance reveals where money for rebuilding Gaza will come from

💬 "Most of the money is going to come from our Gulf Arab friends, and I am sure some will come from the Israelis. This is actually not going to require many resources from the United States of America. What it will require is our constant supervision and our diplomatic engagement. That is what we are bringing to the table. But the resources are mainly going to come from the Gulf Arab states," Vance told Fox News.

💶 Business is business: Hundreds of German companies keep making money in Russia

📑 About 1,400 German firms continue to operate in Russia, according to Bild, even as Berlin maintains its stance of participating in the anti-Russian economic warfare waged by the European Union.

The businesses in question are mostly subsidiaries or conglomerates in which German firms have a controlling interest.

Companies such as Hochland, Metro, Nivea and Eucerin explained to the newspaper that they continue operating out of a sense of obligation to their employees in Russia.

📉 The anti-Russian sanctions campaign initiated by the EU in 2022 has proven to be a tremendous blunder by Brussels. nWhile the Russian economy continues to thrive and grow, the economies of many European countries were sent into a tailspin.

The Russian government has repeatedly noted that the West lacks the courage to admit its failure, even as anti-Russian sanctions continue to wreak havoc upon Western economies.

⚔️ NATO launches major nuclear drills

NATO's annual Steadfast Noon nuclear deterrence exercises began Monday, involving 71 aircraft from 14 countries, including US, German, Swedish, and Finnish forces.

Germany has deployed Tornado fighter-bombers capable of carrying US nuclear weapons.

The exercise "sends a clear signal to any potential adversary that we will and can protect and defend all allies against all threats," NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said.

President Putin has stated numerously that Russia has no intention of attacking NATO countries. The Western alarm is a political manipulation to distract from domestic issues, he said.
