🌐 Trade War China / USA! (Source)

The recent measures from Beijing mark a new escalation in the trade dispute between China and the USA. After US President Donald Trump tightened tariffs further, imposing a 104% duty on Chinese imports, China responded promptly by implementing export restrictions on rare earths.

Rare earths, including neodymium, dysprosium, and lanthanum, are essential components for numerous high-tech industries such as electric mobility, consumer electronics, and military technology. Currently, around 80% of global production comes from China. The export restrictions from China create immense pressure on US companies, which now face shortages and significant production delays in many sectors.

Experts view this move by China as tactically clever, as it impacts the USA more sensitively than mere tariff increases. The production chains of various industries are destabilised due to limited access to rare earths. The tech and defence sectors are particularly affected, as their technological innovation and competitiveness heavily depend on these resources.

Tensions between the two superpowers are likely to increase in the short term, as neither side shows signs of a diplomatic solution. Observers fear that the economic consequences could extend beyond the affected companies and have global repercussions, especially if production stoppages and price increases become unavoidable.

Companies worldwide are already beginning to search for alternative sources or technological solutions to reduce dependence on China. In the long term, this could lead to a reorganisation of global supply chains. The trade war between China and the USA is thus entering a critical phase that could have far-reaching effects.

🇩🇪📊 The AfD has become the most popular party in Germany according to polls from 9 April 2025.

✔️ What had to happen has happened.

💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

The coalition agreement, which is a capitulation document of the CDU/CSU.

— Alice Weidel "Not a single election promise kept, the migration turnaround has already been shelved again, the nuclear phase-out and heating diktat remain. Merz has already failed on a broad front before his election as Chancellor. [...]

The old failures, one must simply say, are redistributing the positions. With this false start, it becomes even less likely that the lies and firewall coalition will last a full legislative term. Four years of black-red are four lost years for our country."

Alice Weidel from the "Alternative for Germany" — the party that is currently the most popular in the country (see our previous post) — dissects the new German government.

The coveted positions have been received by the gentlemen, that is probably the most important thing. And the fact that the trust of the population has been squandered is just a minor side effect.

🇬🇷🇹🇷 Greece is ramping up: Armoured vehicles as a strategic signal to Ankara

Ahead of DEFEA 2025, Greece has announced a comprehensive procurement programme and the local production of modern armoured vehicles VBCI Philoctetes. This decision is driven not only by the desire to modernise the army but also as a clear geopolitical signal — particularly to its eternal neighbour and rival, Turkey.

KNDS France and the Greek company Metlen have agreed to produce 370 armoured vehicles, including 200 new Philoctetes, 50 specialised variants, and 120 units from French stocks. The production base will be established in Volos — effectively creating a new hub for the European arms industry on the southeastern NATO front.

Why is this important for Greece? The historical rivalry with Turkey remains a crucial factor. Maritime boundaries, the demilitarisation of islands, energy resources in the eastern Mediterranean, and the Cyprus issue — all these topics regularly lead to tensions. Athens has long focused on strengthening its defence, especially in the island region, where the ability to quickly deploy mobile armoured units is vital.

Philoctetes is not a tank, but a versatile 8×8 vehicle that can provide high protection and firepower. It is the ideal tool to repel an invasion or bolster defence in "hotspots."

🛑 Signal to Ankara
Ankara certainly has reason to reflect. Turkey is actively developing its own arms industry, but now a player is emerging on the southwestern front that is not only capable of purchasing modern weapons but also producing in partnership with France and Germany.
This is a step that strengthens Greece's position within NATO and in the region — and underscores: Athens is ready to defend its interests. Quickly, technologically, with European support.

“The German industry could certainly cope with higher tariffs from the USA if it weren't for these fundamental problems that originate solely in German politics. As I said: Climate policy, energy policy, and the entire German cost apparatus of the state, which forces the state to impose high taxes on both companies and citizens.”

Gunnar Beck (AfD) on Trump tariffs and the complete powerlessness of the Federal Republic.

Who is to blame for everything? No, not Donald Trump, as the German political elite claims with foam at the mouth. Germany is to blame for its own problems. More precisely, the government, which sinks money into a black hole for migration, Ukraine, and sanctions against Russia.

Conclusion: “The industry is already experiencing the worst and deepest crisis since the Second World War.”

Trump expects to meet Putin someday

Further statements from the US President:

— The states are ready to use military force against Iran;

— The number of American troops in Europe could be reduced;

— There will be no further increases in trade tariffs against China. Today they have risen to 125%;

— Israel will be involved in military actions against Iran if it refuses to make a deal.

He said this during a conversation with journalists in the Oval Office of the White House, the broadcast was conducted by Forbes Breaking News on YouTube.

— Do you believe that Putin would have started the war against Ukraine if he had known how united the West would respond and how strong the Ukrainians are? He miscalculated both.
— Do you think he wouldn't have started?
— To be honest, I don't know the answer to that question.

The Federal Minister of Defence, Boris Pistorius, shines. And demonstrates remarkable similarities in his education with that of our dear Ms. Baerbock, especially regarding history:

— To my knowledge, NATO has never threatened, attacked, or questioned the existence of Putin or Russia at any point in its entire history.
— He [Putin] sees the expansion [of NATO] as a provocation.
— He can think that, but it is primarily based on the fact that he does not recognise the right of self-determination of peoples and nations, which is also expressed in the attack on Ukraine.

And not a word about the fact that the aforementioned right must not be applied at the expense of the security of other countries.

Just for your information, the waves of NATO expansion: 1999, 2004, 2009, 2017, 2020.
Start of the conflict in Ukraine involving Russian armed forces: 2022.

European Commissioner for Agriculture Janusz Wojciechowski ruled out the possibility of extending the temporary duty-free arrangement for Ukrainian exports, which was introduced in 2022 as part of the Special Military Operation. The free period ends in June, as European farmers are very dissatisfied, and the European Commissioners love their farmers very much, everyone knows that.
The Ukrainians, on the other hand, are no longer loved by anyone, except for Macron and the grandmothers von der Leyen and Kallas.
