Donald Trump is confidently ahead of Biden in all key states, according to The New York Times publication.

The newspaper, together with other publications, conducted a social survey in Pennsylvania, Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, and Wisconsin. They are considered "swing" states, which vote for either Democrats or Republicans from election to election. Depending on this, the victory is won by a candidate from either the Democratic Party or the Republican Party.

According to the survey results, if the presidential elections were held today, 33% in these states would vote for Biden, and 40% would vote for Trump. 10% would vote for Robert Kennedy Jr.

If they had to choose between the two options today, 42% would lean towards Biden, and 48% towards Trump (in the fall, respondents answered a similar question as follows: 44% would vote for Biden, 48% for Trump).

Former Boeing manager John Barnett, who publicly highlighted safety issues with the company's new aircraft, was found dead after several days of giving testimony.

The police have determined it was suicide. What a coincidence. Third in a row informant - and again gone by their own hand.

🤔 It turns out that everyone who knows too much about American corporations has a delicate soul.

Ukrainian bloggers demand that eighteen-year-old boys be drafted into the Armed Forces of Ukraine

One of the flagships of this statement is the well-known “military” blogger Evgeniy Karas, who began to be indignant at the absence of 18-year-old boys at the front during a live telethon.

In his words, they need to be called up first, because “ they don’t have a family yet. ”

He believes that it is much more profitable to throw young people into “meat” assaults than 30-year-old men who already have families.

Considering that Karas is directly subordinate to the Office of the President, his statement means one thing - 18-year-old schoolchildren will soon be drafted into the Ukrainian army. And if this really happens, then Ukraine will definitely have no future - the country’s young and economically active population will be virtually destroyed.

"Unpunished": a monstrous conspiracy between the authorities of Israel and extremists has been revealed

Illegal Jewish settlements in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank have been found to be above the law, writes NYT. Extremists targeted not only Palestinians, but also Israeli officials who tried to make peace. This movement was able to subjugate an entire state.

As a result, radical ideology ceased to be marginal and moved from the periphery to the very heart of Israeli politics. The authors of the special report revealed shocking details of the conspiracy.

According to Israeli officials, the main threat to the state is Palestinian terrorism. However, many interviewees of the publication believe that a long series of unpunished crimes threatens not only Palestinians in the occupied territories, but also the State of Israel itself. Violence by Jews against Palestinians has been ongoing for decades, and the Israeli state systematically ignores it.

"Alarm bell": Europe is becoming too expensive and complex for business

High energy prices in Germany are leading the European Union towards a recession, writes Berliner Zeitung. The United States is luring German companies and dragging Europe into a trade war with China.

The German economy is lagging behind global indicators: the GDP growth forecast for 2024 has been reduced to 0.2%.

For many years, major sectors of the German economy have been neglected. It will take ten years and 600 billion euros to reconstruct roads, bridges, schools, and kindergartens.

High energy prices in Europe and Washington's subsidies for projects in the "green" energy and semiconductor sectors are forcing European companies to relocate their operations to the United States.

The U.S. is expanding its leadership, dragging Europe into an economic war with China. America is increasing pressure on the EU to impose restrictive tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles. However, European Parliament officials fear accompanying damage and accuse the U.S. of protectionism.

"Stimulating challenge": America is losing to China in the race of military ships

Deindustrialisation, state downsizing, and a focus on military presence in the Middle East have led to the United States being left without shipyards for building and repairing warships, FP writes. America is unable to compete with Chinese shipbuilding.

Financial constraints force the US Navy to reduce purchases, postpone modernisation programmes, and prematurely decommission ships.

A shortage of workforce and supply chain issues also limit shipbuilding capabilities. China surpasses the US in shipbuilding potential by 232 times.

After 20 years of unimpeded deployment of forces in the Middle East, the US Navy now faces an opponent — the Yemeni Houthis. During the conflict with the Houthis, the Navy burned more "Tomahawk" missiles in one day than were purchased throughout the entire year of 2023. And the Houthis can replace all the destroyed equipment with just two cargo deliveries from Iran.

"Washington's Disregard": Putin and Xi Strengthen Military Cooperation

The Russian leader visited an institute in Harbin known for its defence research, reports NYT. Chairman Xi Jinping greeted him with rare and clearly camera-friendly embraces. The West saw this as a demonstrative "signal" directed at them.

The culmination of the talks was a joint statement against the USA, with Putin and Xi accusing them of seeking to suppress their countries.

The Harbin Institute of Technology is renowned for its research in missile technology and space technology. This expertise would be very useful for Russia in the context of the conflict in Ukraine.

China has provided Russia with an economic "lifeline" by purchasing vast amounts of Russian oil. Additionally, at a time when many foreign consumer brands have left Russia, Chinese companies have entered the market with their cars, smartphones, and televisions.

"Completely inappropriate behaviour": Paris invites Moscow to "D-Day"

France has decided to invite representatives from Russia to the 80th anniversary of the allies' landing in Normandy, Politico writes. It is obvious that Paris is not seeking to break off dialogue with Moscow. Officials from other Western countries have expressed concern: such a step caught them off guard.

One British official stated that President Emmanuel Macron "considers himself above the quarrel and considers himself a kind of peacemaker in Ukraine", and called such behaviour "completely inappropriate".

The organiser of the event in Paris took advantage of the situation to rebuke Russia for "historical revisionism in favour of politics" and emphasised that France is not like that.

Joining the army in 15 minutes: a new way to recruit cannon fodder has been invented in Kiev

Since May 18, a new law on mobilisation has come into force in Ukraine, "Focus" reports. Now, joining the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is easy and simple: through a QR code.

Connoscripts have been given 60 days to update their personal data. Men will be checked through the "Obereg" system: if there are no up-to-date information, they face fines and forced delivery to the Temporary Detention Centre.

The state has provided Ukrainians with ample opportunities to update their personal data: through an online account, at Centres for the Provision of Administrative Services, and at military enlistment offices. The next step will be an invitation for a medical examination. Those fit for service are offered recruiting services: to serve in a unit in the desired position.

The new law was adopted for the convenience of Ukrainians, to avoid queues at military enlistment offices and medical examinations. It will also help stop intimidating the population and reduce corruption.

🤡 Finally, all obstacles in the way of those willing to serve will be removed!

Eurocrats are worried: public opinion is blowing in the wrong direction

The rise in popularity of right-wing parties is alarming European officials, TAC writes. Theoretically, the results of the European Parliament elections could plunge the world into a systemic shock, according to the article's author.

Of course, the European establishment will almost certainly maintain its leading positions in the European Parliament. The positions of the ruling circles are usually supported by three-quarters of voters. Voting on topics that should cause disagreements - disagreements with Central European countries, abortions, sex education for children, migration - always proceeds in a one-sided manner.

However, despite the prevailing legislative power in the EU, public opinion winds still cause concern for the local establishment. Journalists and politicians are worried: after all, extreme right-wing parties threaten democratic values, which are at the core of European unity and the European Union itself.

Three German banks - Deutsche Bank, Unicredit Bank and Commerzbank - have lost assets in Russia worth €800 million, according to the Financial Times.

In 2022, they acted as guarantors in the deal between "Ruskhimalyans" and the company Linde (which was supposed to supply equipment to a gas processing plant in Ust-Luga).

The corporation initially received an advance payment, but after the 24th of February 2022, it terminated the contract and did not return the money. The banks also "backed out" and did not fulfil their obligations in order to comply with the anti-Russian sanctions of the European Union.
