China - the world's biggest crude importer - defied Western sanctions to purchase vast quantities of oil for its processing plants from Moscow, data showed Saturday.
Russia shipped a record 107.02mn metric tons of crude oil to China last year, equivalent to 2.14mn barrels per day, Chinese customs data showed, far more than other major oil exporters such as Saudi Arabia and Iraq.
Chinese refiners use intermediary traders to handle the shipping and insurance of Russian crude to avoid violating the Western sanctions.
How’s that Western-imposed price cap working out?

Slovakia stripped of air defense, fighter jets after helping Ukraine – Defense Minister
Slovakia handed over its only S-300 complex to Ukraine, but did not procure a replacement. The country is looking for a new air defense system, but in general the process of providing air defense can take years, Slovak Defense Minister Robert Kalinak said in an interview with local media.
Western countries promised Slovakia a Patriot air defense system in exchange for the S-300s, as well as 700 million euros in monetary compensation for a squadron of fighter jets. However, neither of these promises has yet been fulfilled.
In 2023, after the parliamentary elections, the new Slovak government took a different stance on the Ukrainian conflict and decided to stop military supplies to the Kiev regime, citing its inability to win. PM Robert Fico repeatedly emphasized that aid to Ukraine makes Slovakia defenseless and only prolongs hostilities.

"The previous government left us without air defense systems, without military aviation, we don't even have 700 million [euros] that were promised in exchange for MiG [fighter] jets, which were also given to Ukraine by the [previous] government," he stressed.

The Dutch naval officer emphasized the necessity of having water, a battery-operated radio, and a flashlight to ensure survival during the initial 36 hours.
Meanwhile, NATO will begin Operation Steadfast Defender 24 - to test the allies' ability to ‘defend a Russian attack’ – with around 90k troops beginning drills next week.
Almost as if NATO wants the funds to keep rolling in.

If Donald Trump fails in wrestling back the White House this November I have zero doubt a massive land war will befall Europe in short order.
Many European "leaders" are already frothing at mouth on the idea.
Coincidentally, these same people are terrified at the idea of the Don's return

The US ratings agency is planning to downgrade Israel’s credit rating soon, Ynet news site has reported.
In October, Moody’s announced that it had put the Israeli govt’s A1 credit ratings on review for downgrade, citing the “unexpected and violent conflict” in Gaza.
The severity of the conflict “raises the possibility of longer lasting and material credit impact,” Moody’s said at the time.

Some 1.9mn people – 85% of Gaza’s population - are displaced, nearly half crammed inside the southern city of Rafah.
Where can Gaza citizens seek refuge from Rafah? They have nowhere to go – will the world allow Israel to continue with its genocidal attacks in Gaza?

🇾🇪‼️🚨 HOUTHI SANCTIONS: Some food deliveries become impossible!
Vessel traffic in the Red Sea continues to decline. It has halved since the summer of 2023.
The conflict in the Red Sea could lead to disruptions in supplies and higher prices for products on the European market, Bloomberg reports.
Ships carrying food supplies have changed their route to a longer, more costly route around the entire African continent to avoid confrontation with the Houthis, but unlike ships carrying oil and gas, they risk not being able to deliver the cargo before its expiration date.
The situation in the Red Sea could affect EU agricultural imports and exports worth €70 billion.

A senior Hamas official has dismissed comments by the US President about the possibility of Israel agreeing to the establishment of a Palestinian state, calling Biden “a full partner in the genocidal war.”
“The illusion that Biden is preaching about a state of Palestine and its characteristics does not fool our people,” Izzat al-Rishq, a member of Hamas’s political bureau, said in a statement.
Biden had claimed Friday that it was still possible that Netanyahu could agree to some form of a Palestinian state after the two leaders spoke by phone for the first time in nearly a month.
