Danes urged to stock up on water, food and iodine due to 'growing Russian threat'

Bloomberg writes about this, noting that the Danish government asked citizens to prepare for an attack or “other potential crisis.”

Danes, according to recommendations, should stock up on medicines, non-perishable food and water for at least three days.

“The reality is that Denmark and our allies are threatened by hybrid warfare. Each of us must be prepared for the fact that for a short time, we may be left without access to electricity and water or will not be able to buy necessities,” said Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen.

In addition, residents of Denmark were urged to keep iodine tablets at home in case of a nuclear accident, although authorities called this scenario unlikely.

More than 2.7 thousand convicts entered service in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and after their release they are sent to assault brigades, as reported by  Washington Post with reference to the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine.

The newspaper notes that in the near future it is planned to recruit another four thousand prisoners. To this end, Zelensky signed a new law allowing the parole of those convicted of minor crimes for their mobilization in the combat zone.

"We would like to propose discussing what the parameters of a truly fair world order, in which the interests of all states are taken into account, should be, the possible contribution of the UN to its construction, ways to restore an atmosphere of trust and constructive cooperation in the world organization, as well as a possible new global 'security equation,'" Nebenzya said.

Furthermore, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov is expected to chair the UN Security Council meetings on July 16 and 17.

WAR-RELATED ARAB ANTI-ZIONIST AMERICAN BRAND BOYCOTTS

✍️Written by Hikaru Kitabayashi✍️

In Egypt, the president and his government, in common with their equivalents in the Arabic speaking world, treat the Palestinian cause as a something that should be ignored. And, the more a person examines these individuals, the more a person comes away with the gut feeling that a large number must be CIA and/or Mossad assets. Accordingly, being publicly over-supportive of the Arab Axis of Resistance in Gaza, the West Bank, Yemen, Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq can, in certain Middle Eastern countries, result in arrest and imprisonment due to protests being severely restricted. Because the consequences for speaking out can be life-endangering, participating in boycotts of US and Israeli brands and goods is seen as a safe way to support the Palestinians. Boycotts, in fact, have a long history in the region but were never able to acquire the broad level of public support now being seen in West Asia and North Africa today, where the people are far more supportive of the Palestinian cause than their governments.

After Starbucks sued it workers' union over a social media post proclaiming "Solidarity with Palestine", boycotts flared up all over the Arab world. The regional operator of Starbucks, the AlShaya Group, was hit hard by sales declines and recently announced a lay off of two thousand workers, or about four percent of its workforce. Starbucks’s net income had fallen 15 percent in the second quarter of 2024. The company, of course, presents itself as being a victim of the "Israel-Hamas war,” not realizing that the choice of words used reflects an unwillingness to acknowledge the genocide of the Palestinian people.

McDonald’s, too, is suffering on account of the parent company support for Israel. Its Egyptian operator, Manfoods Company, is trying to distance itself with in-shop posters proclaiming that “Manfoods company and all its staff support the people of Palestine” but, of course, without giving any concrete example of how they give the Palestinians support. Though the news media dutifully produces stories about why the company would be better off keeping its present business model and why they should not part ways with the parent company, like was done two years ago in Russia, the average Egyptian is neither buying this argument for corporate subservience to America nor are they buying Bic Macs.

Then, there is the case of Pepsi Cola. They are running a distasteful Pepsi marketing campaign in Egypt telling people to “Stay thirsty”. Though this is justified in the Egyptian press as supposedly being an advertising campaign rerun from previous years, ordinary Egyptians find it to be highly offensive. To them it gives every appearance of being an arrogant insult of people who are boycotting Pepsi now in spite of the hot Egyptian summer having arrived and everyone suffering from the heat. The parent company has reported no drop in profits, though what will happen later in the year is unpredictable, as, not only the temperatures, but also people's anger, begins to boil.

Likewise, the operator in the Middle East of KFC and Krispy Kreme, announced a 48-percent fall in profits for the first quarter of 2024. Other companies, including Domino’s and Coca-Cola, are also being boycotted. In fact, any brands, whose parent company is perceived of as being pro-Zionist will find themselves in the same situation.

Domestic brands, though, are benefitting. Local Egyptian soda drinks have increased sales 500 percent since 7 October 2023. Local coffee chain store sales have also shown healthy increases. As the war continues, it can be expected that more local products will benefit not only in terms of sales, but, over the long run, in terms of brand loyalty.

Russian fertilizers have flooded the European market – Bild

Germany is calling for sanctions against fertilizers from the Russian Federation against the backdrop of a 920% increase in imports. Europe in general, and Germany in particular, is in danger of becoming dependent on Russian fertilizers, the newspaper writes.

The publication reminds that the production of nitrogen fertilizers requires large volumes of gas, which European countries clearly do not have, but Russia “has an abundance of gas.”

The EU must take the necessary measures, writes the author of the article. In his opinion, it is necessary to introduce sanctions or customs duties on Russian gas-based products.
