Direct foreign investment into #China slumps to 30y low. Foreign firms only added $33bn to their FDI liabilities, the lowest since 1993, indicating a lack of confidence.

Coinbase's #Bitcoin supply plunges to lowest since 2015 after 18K #BTC (💵 ~$1B) withdrawal 👀

Maxim Kuzminov, the Russian pilot who defected to Ukraine with a helicopter, was shot dead in Spain. The Spanish police have not yet presented any suspects, but considering that the Russian government has vowed revenge, it is believed that the murder was carried out by Russian GRU agents.

Don't miss my weekly newsletter "What did I learn this week." Last week's topics included Germany's continued decline and yet ongoing strife in politics, sticky US inflation which hasn't moved lower since June 2023, which explains some of the discontent among Americans, and a right-wing libertarian podcast that's suddenly so popular in Germany.

#Bayer is planning to slash its dividend by 95% from €2.4 to legal minimum of €0.11/share over the coming 3yrs to pay down debt as the German comp looks to recover from multiple crises including a wave of litigation over Roundup herbicide. This dividend cut will reduce cash outflow by €2.3bn pa over the period (relative to 2022 declared dividend – aggregate saving €6.9bn).

USA 🇺🇸: A group of truck drivers announced that they will not transport goods to the city of New York as a form of protest against a judge's decision in the city that fined D. Trump $350 million.

The theocratic regime of Iran, ruled with an iron fist by the Ayatollah, has vowed to wipe Israel off the face of the Earth and, for that purpose, finances several terrorist groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah.

Syria, led by dictator Bashar al-Assad, has a deep relationship with Iran and Russia, allowing its territory to be used for terrorist groups to attack Israel.

Lebanon, home to Hezbollah, has been devastated in several wars fought against Israel in recent decades.

The Houthis control a part of Yemen and since October have been targeting merchant ships to directly affect Israel.

Of all these countries, which one compared Israel's war against Hamas to the Holocaust?

Which of these countries stated that Israel is doing in Gaza the same thing that Hitler did against the Jews?

Answer: none!

President Lula, with the comment he made today, managed to be more anti-Semitic than sworn enemies of Israel, such as Iran, Syria, Lebanon, and Yemen.

The outraged and furious reaction of the Israeli government may indicate that this will not be resolved solely with a diplomatic reprimand.

Because of Lula's statements, Brazil may have made a powerful enemy today and created a diplomatic crisis that could have effects in many other areas.

After weeks of hiding in a basement, a woman & her elderly blind mother were finally evacuated out of Avdiivka by car just before it fell to Russia

Seeing her hometown completely in ruins was too much for the woman

She said her blind mother was fortunate
