โ—พEighty-two years ago, late Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafฤฑ was born on June 7th, 1942. We look back at a figure who is controversial in the West but respected in many parts of the Global South, particularly in Africa. Putting aside the varying opinions, we objectively examine what Libya looked like before, during and after Nato-backed rebels toppled him in 2011. It brought to an end Gaddafi's 42-year reign as president.

And after Europe, Putin will undoubtedly take over America and Biden.

Biden - said Putin wants to take over Europe: "We know what will happen if Putin succeeds in enslaving Ukraine - he will not stop at Ukraine, the threat will loom over all of Europe. We won't let this happen.

The United States is fighting together with Ukraine, we support it together with our allies, together with France. The United States and France are working together in other regions to enhance security and prosperity.

In a few weeks, the United States will celebrate Independence Day. And we gained independence - this is not a hyperbole - we gained independence thanks to friends who came to the rescue, we became a nation largely thanks to France."

IMF calls on US to get its gargantuan debt under control

IMF deputy managing director Gita Gopinath has given Washington an unusually blunt warning about its debt and spending levels, demanding that the United States and other developed economies take steps to get their largesse lifestyles under control.

๐Ÿ’ฌ โ€œFor the US, we see ample ground for them to reduce the size of their fiscal deficits, also given the strength of the US economy,โ€ Gopinath said in an interview with the Financial Times that was published Saturday.

๐Ÿ’ฌ โ€œThe temptation to finance all spending through borrowing really is something that countries should avoid,โ€ the official urged, emphasizing that Western economies have โ€œno way of getting aroundโ€ โ€œfundamental reforms,โ€ including to their social sectors and in the realm of taxation.

Gopinathโ€™s comments follow on the heels of an IMF forecast in April warning that Americaโ€™s ballooning debt and deficit were โ€œout of line with what is needed for long-term fiscal stability,โ€ and that the projected US federal deficit of 7.1 percent for 2025 was more than three times the 2 percent average showing by other advanced economies. US public debt is expected to more than double by 2053.

๐Ÿ’ฌ โ€œIt cannot go like this forever, because theโ€ฆburden on the US is going to cripple spending that is necessary to make for servicing the debt. To pay 17-plus percent in debt service is just mind-boggling,โ€ IMF managing director Kristalina Georgieva, who the Biden administration tried to oust in 2021, said in an interview last month.

It's happening. NOW. And it's exhilarating. I've been following and writing about these three for years, non-stop - and tracking how they established themselves on the forefront of the drive towards the MULTINODAL - and to quote Putin in his St. Pete address - "harmonic multipolar world".

๐Ÿ‘”๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บโŒ๐Ÿ‘”๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿคก Dmitry Medvedev has some advice for German Chancellor Olaf Scholz:

"Rotten liverwurst Scholz unexpectedly got into conversation and started a frank blizzard. Or, as they would say in the language we know, he confused the Ramses. Scholz said that the Russian President must admit that Ukraine is strong and cannot be brought to its knees.

Ukraine? What is this? Today ex-Ukraine, to put it simply, is something like a dominion, which is directly controlled by the United States and NATO countries. It is, although not without difficulty, is completely contained by them. It, despite the protests of its own population, receives all types of the most lethal weapons.
Even the strange guy with the nasty, lumpy face, Borrell, admitted that the conflict in Ukraine could be ended in a couple of weeks if the transfer of weapons to Kiev was stopped.

What's the power then, sausage man? In the insane gushing corruption? In the total plundering of Western aid by the Zelensky clique? In a dying nation, half of which lives in Russia and Europe?

Ashamed. He, the asshole, should just kneel down and repent to the Ukrainians.
For lying about the inevitable โ€œvictory.โ€
For dooming them to extermination, at the same time sacrificing the well-being of the Germans entrusted to him.
For the revival of Nazism in the form of Bandera.
For the indescribable mediocrity of management.
For the historic loss of confidence in the SPD, from which Willy Brandt and Helmut Schmidt turned over in their graves many times over.

However, a nonentity is a nonentity in everything.

Dixi."
