Have you noticed no one ever claims this an escalation?

Typical. "Say it, and it is true"

Let's watch how quickly the Kremlin revisionism is picked up by Amerikans and spread through the anti-anti-disinfo "free speech" media ecosystem.
2/ Ryabkov and other Kremlin officials are trying to exploit the lack of clarity about the outcome of the US-Russian Alaska Summit in August 2025 to claim that the summit achieved a joint US-Russian understanding and agreement to end the war in Ukraine — contrary to US accounts of the summit.

The timing of activation is very interesting given the new US orientation and actions following their new National Security Strategy Drop

X-Twitter has been activated with suddenly separatist accounts flooding my feed. It would be bizarre if it wasn't so sinister what's happening. #activemeasures
Separatist Jeff Rath (Alberta Prosperity Project) says that the “US administration is very excited about Alberta independence”.

Rath and Cam Davies (Alberta Republican Party) visited Mar-a-Lago and White House several times.

Who arranges these meetings?

Why does no one call Russia an artificial state? The real Russia is rather small. Someone should tell Putin, Trump.
The US declassified exchanges between US President Bush and Putin from 2008 in which Putin already called Ukraine an „artificial“ state, clearly denying its right for existence.

If you want to understand the Russian operating framework, what "winning" is, and why nuclear threats = reflexive control on the West, this is a must listen.

While the focus is often on short-term price drivers in #crude markets, there are two longer-term trends that will shape flows. The first is the gain in supply is from the Americas but demand growth is in Asia. The second is the rising politicisation of oil markets. www.reuters.com/markets/comm...

OPEC+'s group of eight further unwound their #crude output cuts, adding another 411,000 bpd for July. But there are two questions to be answered, will they actually add that much #oil back, and if they do, are there buyers, given imports slipped in Asia in May. #OPEC www.reuters.com/business/ene...
OPEC+'s crude output hike comes amid tepid Asian oil demand: Russell
The crude oil market devotes considerable energy to what OPEC+ says, but perhaps a little less to what it actually does when it comes to the supply of the world's most important commodity.

Seven, most likely Russian #drones were seen over a German police boat in the North Sea in May, Spiegel reports. As usual, very little is known as the drones weren’t shot down and just eventually flew away.

Two main foundations investment in the 1) domestic supply chain and 2) R&D 2020-2025.

The core industries covered by the plan are expected to source 40% of all “core” inputs domestically by 2020 and over 70% by 2025.

Iif China’s economy is suffering under the weight of U.S. tariffs, why is #ironore, the commodity most exposed to China, performing relatively strongly from both a price and import volume perspective? It’s likely that some #steel sectors are still doing OK. #metals www.reuters.com/markets/comm...
Iron ore tells a different story to the China tariff pain narrative: Russell
Concern is mounting over just how big a hit the Chinese economy is going to take from the massive tariffs imposed by the United States, but so far the commodity most at risk is seemingly unaffected.

The reasons OPEC+ put forward for further easing its #crude output curbs don’t match reality, with the market far from “healthy” with demand yet to feel the full impact of Trump’s tariff war. Visible #oil inventories are also only slightly below 5-year averages. #OPEC www.reuters.com/markets/comm...
OPEC+'s 'healthy' crude oil market looks like catching a cold: Russell
If there is one thing that is almost certain in the current global crude oil market, it's that the stated reasons for the OPEC+ group of exporters increasing supply are not the real reasons.
