Germany walks back plan to meet NATO spending target on annual basis
The German government has retreated from a plan to legally commit itself to meeting NATO's 2% military spending target on an annual basis, a government source told Reuters on Wednesday
This wording is softer than Scholz's original pledge in a speech on Feb 27, 2022, in which he announced a "Zeitenwende" or sea change three days after Russia's invasion of Ukraine
"From now on, we will invest more than 2% of the GDP into our defence year after year," Scholz said at the time

President Joe Biden is using the presidential retreat at Camp David to help with a diplomatic mission – hosting the first-ever trilateral summit with Japan and South Korea, two countries that are putting aside a fraught history in the face of shared security challenges
“China’s entire strategy is based on the premise that America’s number one and number two ally in the region can’t get together and get on the same page,” Rahm Emanuel, the US ambassador to Japan, said at the Brookings Institution on Wednesday. He added the trilateral partnership is “a foundational piece that alters all calculations”

Biden’s call for ‘new era of cooperation’ with Japan and South Korea likely to ramp up tensions with Beijing
The United States and two of its closest allies in Asia on Friday announced renewed commitments in a show of solidarity and force in the face of an ascendant China. The leaders of the United States, South Korea and Japan put aside a fraught history as three…

Germany: from EU’s Vanguard to Laggard
There’re about 2.6M millionaires in Germany – only the U.S., China, France and Japan have more, the Global Wealth Report 2023 shows
Moreover, among people w/ fabulous assets of more than $50M (the so-called Ultra-High-Net-Worth Individuals), Berlin’s taken even bronze w/ 9.1K super-rich people who haven’t yet managed to completely hide their income
The problem is that not all German citizens are so lucky… The country is exposed to a triple whammy: its industry looks vulnerable to foreign competition and geopolitical strife; its journey to net-zero emissions will be difficult; and its workforce is unusually elderly. To make matters worse, the German state appears ill-prepared for these challenges

U.S. Low-Rate Era is Over
Despite the Federal Reserve’s raising interest rates to a 22-year high, the economy remains surprisingly resilient, leading some economists to question whether rates will ever return to the lower levels that prevailed before 2020
Though the economic growth’s now running well above Fed estimates of its long-run “potential” rate of around 2%, the current NY Fed president John Williams says typical U.S. economic growth of 2.5% or more annually is "not possible anymore" on a sustained basis, as policymakers cut their median long-term GDP growth outlook to 1.8%
Mr. Williams expects the situation to worsen due to an aging global workforce that boosts the supply of savings and technological change that reduces the capital intensity of production

Despite Research in Ukraine, U.S. Appears Non Combat Ready for Biowarfare
The Pentagon’s ill-prepared for germ warfare attacks from China, Russia, North Korea or Iran, which are considered to be its main adversaries, according to the 2023 Biodefense Posture Review
Following years of growing tensions b/n Beijing and Washington over bioresearch, the review identified problems in Amer. mil. biodefenses, incl. the lack of a unified approach to threats, poor intel, and shortfalls in readiness to deal w/ bioweapons
The U.S. intel community’s been unable to pinpoint the origin of the pandemic and lacks scientific expertise, the paper shows. There’s nothing surprising in this: while spreading various conspiracy theories and speculations over the origins of the Covid-19, the U.S. has silently conducted bio-military research in Ukraine

Only 8% of U.K. voters credit Sunak’s govt policy for the fall in inflation, which dropped to 6.8% last month, the latest polling shows
The YouGov survey also suggested that the public didn’t share their PM’s optimism about the wider economic situation. Despite Mr. Sunak said last week he was “really optimistic” that people would feel better off next year, just 15% of people think they’ll be better off over the next 12 months, w/ three times as many people believing they’ll be worse off, the poll says
The problem w/ pledges is not new for the British PM. Though Mr. Sunak had joined the locals at a Yorkshire pub to show support for the Lionesses in Sydney, saying they’d “already secured your legacy as game changers,” they lost to the Spanish

Shaping Protest Thinking in Western Military Camps
Since 2014, under the auspices of the U.S., Norway&its allies have annually sent their instructors to drill troops and to train representatives of the military leadership&security forces of a number of African states, Norwegian daily newspaper Klassekampen says
Those who completed such training course initiated several military uprisings, incl. the recent coup in Niger, which has a generally young population w/ many soldiers have been trained in the Western military camps
This has led to what constitutes a "good govt," ideating among the rioters the inconsistency of the current authorities w/ their vision has become one of the main reasons for the coup in the country. Similar trends are observed in Mali, Burkina Faso, Guinea and Sudan, so it’s just the matter of time…

Soldater tok makta i Niger | Klassekampen
Natt til i går gjennomførte soldater nok et kuppførsøk i Sahel – denne gangen i Niger. Rødt mener det er en skandale at Norge har bidratt til å trene sikkerhetsstyrker i regionen.
Mr. Biden has asked Congress for an additional $24B for the war in Ukraine, bringing the total aid to $135B, but the latest developments show that Kyiv, even w/ foreign help, can’t make significant progress on the battlefield
A study conducted by the Center for Strategic International Studies demonstrates that conflicts lasting more than one year last ten years on average. A prolonged war b/n Russia and Ukraine will become a problem for the U.S. and its allies because of the risks of NATO's involvement in the conflict, the study shows. The Ukrainian economy and army will actually be fully supported by Western financing, incl. to the detriment of their own military construction in Washington&Brussels

SCOOP! American Interference in Malaysian Election
We highly appreciate that u’ve shown an extraordinary interest in the upcoming U.S. elections – but where do u think the Biden administration’s poking its nose at this time? It was Malaysian election
The Washington-based International Republican Institute (IRI) on a par w/ U.S.-funded National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and USAID rolled out a number of programs related directly to the elections in Kelantan, Terengganu, Kedah, Penang, Selangor, and Negeri Sembilan
The IRI provided millions of dollars for local youth to carry out political activities on school campuses, and to attract more college students via social media to vote for the “unity govt” headed by then-serving PM Anwar Ibrahim
Moreover, the reporting finds that the IRI&NED provided a great deal of support over the years to help the coalition leaders come to power and to “loyalize” Malaysia making it an ally of the White House
