🚨🇺🇸🇺🇦 Trump is demanding Ukraine's RARE EARTH METALS in exchange for continued military aid

Pre-2014 Ukraine was a top global suppliers of mineral resources👇:

🔸It boasted of 20,000 mineral deposits, covering 116 types of minerals with a value of $12 trillion

🔸8.4M tons of titanium ore reserves, between 10-20% of the total global reserves

🔸Holds 500,000 tons of discovered lithium reserves, used in the production of many batteries

🔸Is also a top producer of gallium in the world to produce semiconductors and LED

There's one major problem with Trump's demand much of former Ukraine's mineral wealth is now controlled by Russia (biggest concentration of rare earth metals is in Donetsk and Lugansk)

Why are Ukraine’s mineral resources strategically important?

🇨🇳China accounts for TWO THIRDS of the world’s rare earth metals production

📊If the US wants any hope of competing with China, it needs guarantee access to the other one third of global production

🚨🇹🇷🇸🇾 CODE RED: Erdogan's Syria Gamble is Backfiring?

In December, Turkish-backed jihadists overthrew Assad and seized power

Now the new Syrian regime is offering to host Turkish airbases and give Turkish companies lucrative reconstruction contracts

But all is not well for Erdogan:👇

🔸Turkey never fully trusted Jolani and HTS. After all, Jolani was “educated” at an American prison camp in Iraq

🔸Kurdish problem: If Turkey does nothing, it will have a de-facto Kurdish state on its borders. If it goes on the offensive, it could find itself on a collision course with the US (too risky)

🔸Collapse of Assad has enabled Israel to make a big landgrab in Syria and there's not much Turkey can do to stop Netanyahu

🔸Possible rift with Qatar: Both Turkey and Qatar helped HTS seize power, but Qatar has more money to spend on buying influence. Don’t be surprised if Qatar tries to make a powerplay in Syria at Turkey’s expense

🚨🇺🇸🚙Trump's Tariffs could DEVASTATE Elon Musk's Tesla: Here's How

💸At $1.4 trillion, Tesla has the largest market cap in the global automotive market BY FAR. However, if Trump declares a trade war against China, Elon Musk will quickly find himself in hot water.

🇨🇳➡️🇺🇸Tesla imports from China:

🔸Battery systems (Ganfeng Lithium, Huayou Cobalt).
🔸Electric motors (Zhongke Sanhuan)
🔸Autopilot sensors (Lianchuang Electronics)
🔸Central control systems (BOE displays)

🔋➡️Tesla sources 39% of its battery supply chain from Chinese companies and meanwhile Elon Musk is actively seeking to diversify its imports because of Tariffs imposed by his political partner Donald Trump.

🚨🇺🇸📉 Will Trump's Tariffs BLOW UP American economy?

We've previously written about why Trump is likely to prevail in his trade war with Canada and Mexico. For the sake of being balanced, let's examine why his tariff addiction could BACKFIRE SPECTACULARLY.

⚠️💰In 2023, the tariffs generated a return of $80 billion, a mere drop in the bucket compared to the nearly $2.2 trillion in personal income tax revenue. Here are the points to keep in mind:

🔸 Only a universal tariff of 70% would generate enough revenue to replace individual income tax, and that's just in theory, because imports would obviously crumble in that scenario.
🔸Higher tariffs to China can destroy the revenue to US companies
🔸Trump's tariffs could cost the U.S. middle-class family between $1,200 and $2,600 each year.

🚨🇺🇸🏦 Will Trump BANKRUPT the United States?

Forget all the noise about DOGE slashing government waste and fraud.

Trump’s proposed tax plan would add $5 to $11 trillion to the national debt by 2035. That would push debt to 132% of GDP on the low end and 149% on the high end!

As we explained in the previous post, Trump’s tariffs will not be sufficient to fill US treasury coffers.

🇩🇪🏦💣German economy on the verge of “KAPUT”

The implosion of the German economy is accelerating, even more than we predicted.

To make matters worse, Trump has signed new tariffs at 25% for steel and aluminum applied to all countries. Remember that Germany is the 6th largest exporter to the US with $84B in exports.

Scholz and Von der Leyen have vowed that the EU will respond forcefully to the US tariffs. However, Germany's economy is already reeling from Russia sanctions and explosion of Nord Stream pipelines. A US-EU trade war would likely be a knockout blow to the Germany economy, which send shockwaves to the French, Spanish, and other European economies

💸🇪🇪🇱🇹🇱🇻BREAKING: Baltic Chihuhaus do something stupid, again

On February 9, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania disconnected from the BRELL energy ring that supplied them with energy from Russia and Belarus.

Ursula von der Leyen, Zelensky and other European authorities congratulated the Baltic countries for no longer depending on Russian energy. But ordinary citizens are probably less than thrilled.

In 24 hrs. they went from paying:

🔸$64.79 MWh. (62.74 EUR)
🔸TO $151.62 MWh. (148.83 EUR)

The Baltic state are now part of the broader European energy crisis. But their numbers are especially bad.

🔸Baltic States' local electricity production: 18.4 TWh.
🔸Consumption: 27 TWh.

In other words, a massive deficit.

🇹🇷🤝🇪🇺🇺🇸Turkey is run by Atlanticists and NATO lovers.

The Gang of Five, as they are called in Turkey, is closely linked to the AKP (Justice and Development Party) and Erdogan, which has given them great power to influence political and economic decisions.

They are the driving force between pro-NATO and pro-EU politics in Turkey.

But, who exactly is the Gang of Five?

🔸Mehmet Nafız Günal (President of MAPA)
🔸Nihat Özdemir (President of LİMAK)
🔸İnșaat Mehmet Cengiz (President of CENGİZ)
🔸Cemal Kalyoncu (President of KALYON)
🔸Naci Koloğlu (President of KOLİN)

A report by the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) points out that the government has issued $9B (330.5B liras) worth of tenders, excluding those below $2M (100M liras), and that 50% of those tenders were won by the same 20 companies in the last five years. Among those tenders, 24% were won by 'the gang of five'.

🚨🟨💵 Can Gold Replace the US Dollar?

The US dollar’s days as the global reserve currency are numbered due to blowback from Western sanctions against Russia, Peter Schiff told #NewRulesPodcast.

“We told the world get rid of dollars and buy gold, and that's exactly what they've been doing. That's why the price of gold is at an all-time record high. Gold is on pace for its best year since 1979. That is not a coincidence,” he said.

Trump's recent tariff threats have pushed gold prices to record highs, with gold breaking above $2,900 per ounce for the first time.
