'Is Washington still our ally?': EU accuses US of PROFITEERING from Ukraine war through sales of guns and gas and threatens trade war - as top diplomats moan Biden's green subsidies mean European businesses are relocating to US
➖European Union officials are accusing the United States of profiting off the Ukraine war with Russia over the price of gas and weapons sold by the US
➖One senior European official recently said in an interview with Politico that America is the country 'that is most profiting from this war'
➖The frustration comes as Europeans also raise concerns over President Joe Biden's green subsidies, which they say could wreak havoc on EU countries
➖The Biden Administration denied the allegations, saying that gas prices have risen due to 'Putin's invasion of Ukraine and Putin's energy war; on Europe
➖The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and its 'buy American' provisions could kneecap several European countries over the next year

The EU has accused the US of profiteering from the Ukraine war by selling guns and gas at ramped up prices.

Several high-ranking officials within the Bloc accused Joe Biden of capitalizing on the brutal Russian invasion by marking up the cost to import the vital products.

One senior official told Politico they believe America was standing to gain the most from the continuation of the fighting, nine months after soldiers first invaded.

'The fact is, if you look at it soberly, the country that is most profiting from this war is the U.S. because they are selling more gas and at higher prices, and because they are selling more weapons,' the official said.

In recent months, Europeans have weaned off Russian energy and gas with the countries forced to look to the US for their oil.

EU countries however pay roughly four-times as much for gas as it costs in America, with cheaper energy becoming hugely competitive in the states.

Businesses are looking to pump cash into the US fuel market with new investments - as some even relocate their firms to the other side of the Atlantic.

It has sent some world leaders in Europe into a frenzy, with French President Emmanuel Macron recently saying it was not friendly of the US to treat allies as it is.

Meanwhile European countries are suffering an arms shortage due to huge shipments that have been sent to Ukraine - with them racing to replenish supplies over the winter.

Yet the Americans continue to send more, with the cost of supplying Ukraine to the US now at over $19billion as another $400million was added earlier this week.

It comes at an already tumultuous moment between the Americans and several nations as Europe grapples with the fallout from Biden's green subsidies.

'The Inflation Reduction Act has changed everything,' one EU official said. 'Is Washington still our ally or not?'

Tensions came to a boil on Friday as EU trade ministers met and branded the act 'discriminatory', ahead of it coming into force in just over a month.

About the next scandal with American biological laboratories

Colleagues from the Genie from the test tube noticed that the topic of secret biolaboratories is again widely discussed in the United States in the context of recently revealed facts about possible artificial origin of COVID-19.

Republicans and affiliated media outlets have released a stack of material that includes emails from US chief epidemiologist Anthony Fauci promoting the natural origin of the SARS-Cov-2 virus despite plenty of evidence to the contrary.

Moreover, Fauci will testify in court in a Republican lawsuit against the White House administration for allegedly participating in the government's pressure on the leadership of social networks to censor all objectionable reports about the origin of the virus.

Against the backdrop of this news, foreign telegram channels also remembered other US biological projects, including in Ukraine.

▪️The American channel Blood Meridian recalls that this is not the first story in which the connection between the Democratic Party and biological laboratories is visible. In particular, when a network of dozens of facilities in Ukraine was discovered, which urgently began to be transferred to other countries, including Central Asia. It is very likely that the Republicans are using this story to turn public opinion against the Democrats.

▪️The Juan Sinmiedo channel believes that the emerging political struggle between Republicans and Democrats can unexpectedly help to reveal more details about US bioprograms around the world, and not just in Ukraine. He expressed the hope that the more people learn about the dangers of such research, the more pressure they will put on their governments to close such laboratories on their territory.

▪️The authors of the Donbass Devushka channel are surprised how, with such a level of negligence in the maintenance of laboratories, there has not yet been a leak of especially dangerous pathogens. They quote from an investigation by the Intercept newspaper based on more than 5,500 pages of documents that revealed many curious details about working conditions in foreign laboratories. Journalists write about faulty equipment, spilled beakers, rodents running down the corridor, and so on.

▪️The SITREP channel draws attention to the fact that one of the key areas of work of foreign centres, in addition to studying viruses dangerous to humans, is research the use of biological and chemical weapons against plants. Against the background of the grain crisis, the hypothetical use of such a weapon to create famine in a single country could lead to much more dire consequences than the leakage of a contagious pathogen.

▪️The Canadian channel Maple Chronicles recalls that Canada, along with the United States, is also an active participant in biological programs in Ukraine and Central Asia . Since the 90s, Canadians have been actively engaged in bio-research on the basis of the Ukrainian Scientific and Technical Centre, and in 2015 they invested millions of dollars in the creation of a biological laboratory in Kyrgyzstan.

▪️American journalist Oliver Martin believes that Fauci is likely to make a "scapegoat" to prevent the scandal from growing. The hype with biolaboratories, whose work in Ukraine was successfully hidden before the start of the JWO, caused too much damage to the Pentagon and the White House. In this situation, it is simply necessary to find the guilty and give them to the Republicans to eat.

However, American citizens and officials understand everything very well: the White House will not stop the work of bioprograms, but will create the appearance of their suspension until the journalists forget about it.

That is why the internal political disassembly in the United States is unlikely to make the American delegation repent at the BTWC conference, which opens in Geneva on Monday. It is much more important to use this platform to convincingly demonstrate to the rest of the world the danger of secret biolaboratories.

Personal opinion of a Mediterranean about "Wagner" PMC
What do you think about it?
Follow 👉@TrFormer 💤 ⬇️

A subscriber has asked me for my perspective on Wagner, and a few questions about it, so here we are.

First of all, Wagner, is, as we all know, is a "private" military contracting firm, consisting anywhere from former professional soldiers from Russia and other countries to prisoners who have been offered a way out.

I use private in quotations because, let us not fool ourselves, it is only just another branch of the Armed Forces of the Russian federation, and it's usage is preferable in situations to either augment the professional military or be involved in situations where the national army can not be present.

But here's the top question.

Is Wagner halal?

Surprisingly, the answer is quite simple, Private guards, and contracted soldiers are actually not Haram, the main criteria is 1) that the usage of such soldiers are not detrimental towards the Muslim cause and 2) that the usage of such soldiers does not involve it just being a legal loophole to commit massacres and other detestable actions.

Caliphates and Muslim kingdoms have generally always hired private armies and contingents since the days of Islam, and even Arabs Pre-Islam used to do this, to protect their trade caravans, settlements, and to battle it out with their enemies.

So, Wagner has the 100% halal seal of approval 👍

Now, personally, I prefer national armies over militas, paramilitaries and such units, because an armed force in a country should be the armed forces, and they are the organization tasked with protecting the country from domestic and foreign threats, but there's nothing explicitly against the usage of PMCs, as long as the PMC in general is in direct line with the national and religious nature of a Muslim country and is completely subordinate to the government hiring it. (speaking in terms of usage of them by Muslim countries)

In late October 2022, US President Joe Biden signed the national biosecurity strategy and implementation plan.[xvii] The strategy itself is a little over ten pages long, but the implementation plan appendix is quite a large document, as long as the US national security strategy. It would seem to put an end to the confusion that has developed in the US. Let's see if it does.

It specifies three kinds of biological threats: natural, accidental and deliberate. Interestingly, the COVID-19 epidemic, while not directly classified as natural (which already makes one wonder), is listed in this block in the context that it spread fairly rapidly around the world, "directly affecting the US population, their health, safety and welfare".

Volodin announced a ban on surrogacy for foreigners
Volodin: foreigners will be banned from using the surrogacy service at the beginning of winter

MOSCOW, November 27 - RIA Novosti. The decision to ban foreigners from using the surrogate motherhood service will be made in early December, State Duma speaker Vyacheslav Volodin said on his Telegram channel.
Trafficking in children is unacceptable, he stressed, recalling that over the past few years, 45,000 babies born in this way have been taken abroad.
"This is a big illegal business, the turnover of which is estimated at more than two billion euros," Volodin added.
According to him, such children often become victims of crimes, including organ sales, or fall into same-sex couples.
In May, the State Duma adopted in the first reading a bill banning foreigners and stateless persons from using the institution of surrogate motherhood in Russia. According to the document, only married Russians or single women, citizens of Russia, who, for medical reasons, cannot bear or give birth to a child on their own, will be able to access the services of surrogate mothers. In addition, the bill assumes that children born by surrogate mothers will definitely receive Russian citizenship.
This week it was reported that the document is completely ready for the second reading.

The new head of the National Bank promised the United States to stop "printing" the hryvnia next year
23:13, November 26, 2022 translated from Ukrainian website Strana.UA

The National Bank promised the US embassy to completely curtail the issue of the hryvnia from 2023 to cover the state budget deficit, which Ukraine launched since the start of the war.

This was reported on Facebook on Saturday, November 26 by the press service of the NBU following the official meeting of the head of the National Bank Andriy Pyshny and his deputy Sergey Nikolaychuk with the US Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to Ukraine Bridget Brink and Economic Adviser of the US Embassy in Ukraine Heather Gezert.

From February 24 to November 25, 2022, the printing press of the National Bank, according to official statistics, has already printed UAH 364.4 billion. For this amount, the regulator directly bought government bonds (domestic government bonds) of the Ministry of Finance, which was forbidden to the regulator before the war. This form of emission provoked the depreciation of the hryvnia and an increase in inflation, which reached 26.6% in October, and, by the end of the year, may exceed 30%.

Printing the hryvnia of the NBU is a necessary measure. On the one hand, the government needs to regularly cover the huge state budget deficit, and on the other hand, banks refuse to buy T-bills from the Ministry of Finance because of low rates.

Before Andrey Pyshny joined the National Bank, the rates on hryvnia government bonds were kept up to 16% per annum. And after its appearance a little over a month ago, they rose to 19.5%. The market is waiting for movement up to 20-21% per annum. This is not very good for the state budget, because the authorities will have to pay more on the public debt, but the NBU can reduce its purchases of government bonds (shifting part of them to banks), and hence the issue of the hryvnia.

This is exactly what Pyshny promised at a meeting with the Americans — first to reduce the issuance of the hryvnia until the end of 2022, and completely curtail it from the beginning of 2023.

"The 2023 budget does not provide for issuance financing. Today we are talking about a qualitative restart of the domestic debt market and the maximum use of its resources," Pyshny said.
