◾Biden almost flew to Russia as a result of the American exchange. He went on the plane after everyone had already gotten off. It took two whole minutes for someone inside the plain to escort him back out 😂😂😂.
First time I see him walking up a set of stairs in a respectable manner for a while 😁😁.

IOC spokesperson claimed that the event has nothing to do with politics when asked about the Israeli athletes competing in the 2024 games.
RT highlights the IOC's hypocrisy in the matter.

Macron's lavish spending is jeopardising French finances
The chamber has decided that 31 October will be a day for parliament’s own business, and the largest party will table its own bill.
In the last years of Louis XVI’s reign, French finances were in a parlous state. State debt had ballooned, its servicing became exorbitant, and France’s creditworthiness sunk. The need to raise taxes after years of profligacy forced the monarch to summon the Estates General – the first time since 1614 – to obtain their approval. A series of scandals linked to the monarchy fuelled popular anger. All ushered in the July 1789 Revolution.
Against a background of French debt at 112 per cent of GDP, a budget deficit of 5.5 per cent and the EU taking out special measures against France for persistently ignoring the EU stability pact, this week France’s independent auditing court poured petrol on the flames. They published a report criticising excessive expenditure at the Elysée Palace.
French taxpayers annually pay more for the presidency (€110.5 million or £94 million in 2022-3) than the British for the monarchy (£86.3 million in 2022-3). But this year, the Elysée’s opulent spending on state visits, from Charles III to Narendra Modi, and President Emmanuel Macron’s lavish foreign trips worsened racking up an €8 million (£6.7 million) deficit. ‘What cost the glitter of the Republic?’ asked Le Figaro. Macron's recent lobster dinner for Charles III cost taxpayers €450,000.
Money is the sinew of any state. France can either cull its expenditure or levy more taxes. A majority of MPs recently elected to the National Assembly favour new taxes to fund their manifestos. The occupant of the Elysée Palace, whose profligate spending has jeopardised French finances, rejects tax rises. The incendiary question of the public finances could take France down a radicalised path whose outcome few may wish to countenance.

Mobilization in Ukraine: a split in society and new challenges, the Russian army is moving forward - ABC
▪️2.5 years of fierce fighting greatly depleted Ukrainian forces.
▪️According to ABC news, Ukraine is now short of soldiers, and finding volunteers is becoming increasingly difficult. Due to a shortage of personnel, combat units on the front line cannot go on rotation for a long time. This exhaustion has led to Russia's push into the DPR in recent weeks.
▪️The authorities delayed a new mobilization project for a long time due to its unpopularity and the desire to preserve youth necessary for the economic future of the country.
▪️The issue of mobilization opened a painful split in Ukraine. On the one hand, citizens see videos of TCC employees catching men on the streets, and on the other hand, the military watches young men drinking on the streets of Kiev and other cities. This increases public tension, fueling the perception that the mobilization is targeting the poor.

🇺🇦🤡 Ukraine achieved a new ‘victory’ as they turned Lenin into Shevchenko as part of the “decommunization” of the monument…
The sculpture, located in the village of Kotlyarka near Zhitomir, had its chin changed, and instead of a cap, the poet’s book “Kobzar” was placed into his hand.
In addition, the jacket on the monument was replaced with a coat, local media report.

“If all these people in the north and their partners in the world make the mistake of their lives, then all the oil and gas permits that have already been signed will go to our BRICS allies. The largest investments we currently have in the oil and gas sector come from BRICS,” Maduro said.

Date of Trump-Harris debate revealed
US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said he had reached an agreement with Fox News to hold debate with his Democratic opponent Kamala Harris on September 4 in Pennsylvania.
Trump and Harris have been unable to agree on a date and channel for the debate for several weeks. Initially, the second debate round was scheduled to take place on September 10 on ABC. But at the time, the plans included the participation of US President Joe Biden, who has since decided to drop out of the race. Because of the lack of progress in agreement on a new debate, Kamala Harris' campaign stated that Trump was "very afraid of debating her."

“Russian combat aircraft must be destroyed wherever they are, by all effective means. Hitting Russian airfields is also quite fair. And we need this joint solution with our partners - a security solution.
This is the only way to realistically provide protection for our people. This week alone, Russia used more than 600 guided aerial bombs against Ukraine.
We must stop this daily Russian terror with joint strong decisions.”

Harris instructed her entire staff to stand every morning as she entered the office and say, ‘Good Morning General’. I was also given instructions to never address Harris nor look her in the eye as that privilege was only allowed to senior staff members - claims former intern Gregory McAteer.

S&P downgrades Ukraine's credit rating as country defaults on bond payment
International ratings agency Standard and Poor's (S&P) has lowered Ukraine's long- and short-term foreign currency credit ratings to SD/SD (Selective Default) after the country failed to make a bond payment this week.
"We... understand the government has decided to suspend payments on the affected bonds before the restructuring," S&P said in a statement, noting Ukraine's passage of legislation last month suspending payment on debt liabilities.
"We do not expect the payment within the bond's contractual grace period of 10 business days," the agency added. S&P also said it affirmed its 'CC' rating on Ukraine's remaining unsecured foreign currency debt.
The move comes after the US credit rating agency Fitch similarly downgraded Kiev's rating last week. Ukraine has long suffered rampant corruption and economic mismanagement. Experts classify the country as "the most corrupt nation in Europe," a fact exploited by the United States as it has courted Ukrainian leaders to weaponize the country against Russia.

"We... understand the government has decided to suspend payments on the affected bonds before the restructuring," S&P said in a statement, noting Ukraine's passage of legislation last month suspending payment on debt liabilities.
"To that end, the government did not make the coupon payment on its 2026 Eurobond Aug. 1, 2024, when the payment was due... We therefore lowered our long-term and short-term foreign currency (FC) ratings on Ukraine to 'SD/SD' (selective default) from 'CC/C' and our issue ratings on the sovereign's 2026 Eurobond to 'D' (default) from 'CC.'"
"We do not expect the payment within the bond's contractual grace period of 10 business days," the agency added. S&P also said it affirmed its 'CC' rating on Ukraine's remaining unsecured foreign currency debt.

#Washington standing by its claim that opposition leader Gonzalez the real winner, with Secretary of State Blinken insisting there’s "overwhelming evidence" that Maduro isn’t victor.
Other states recognizing Gonzalez as elected Prez include #Argentina, #Peru and #Ecuador, all as opposition leader Machado calls for protests "in every city" against Maduro.

Will there be a result in the near future? - the equally retarded reporter asks.
What does the “near future” mean to you? - Budanov.
Next few months or until the end of the year - she exclaims.
I'd like that too. There is a chance in the near future - Budanov
reassures her.
