As the BBC's Paul Adams in Kyiv has reported, there has been a narrative developing in some circles in recent weeks that Washington is frustrated with the slow pace of Ukraine's offensive.

Since June, Ukraine's territorial gains in the counter-offensive have been very small.

The lack of any major change to the battlefield has increased pressure on Ukraine to justify its need for help, analysts say, and has made it harder for it to convince western backers to continue the stream of supplies.

US  Secretary of State Antony Blinken visited Ukraine last week to announce  $1bn (£800bn). The aid includes depleted uranium tank shells, which the US had previously said would not be sent to Ukraine.

Not enough killing between Cain and Able?

Chili's..

 

Beans are a beloved pantry staple across the globe because they're affordable, filling and brimming with vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals.

From a hearty pot full of Kickin' Hot Chili to Roasted Garlic Hummus dip with veggies, beans are a versatile ingredient for endless dish ideas. But despite their many uses and healthy reputation, many people may steer clear of beans due to fears of gas, digestive upset.

Eating beans offers an impressive combo of nutrients and health benefits. According to a 2021 article published in Nutrients, beans have protein, fiber, complex carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and resistant starch. Additionally, beans are a major source of antioxidants, thanks to their phytochemicals and polyphenols—compounds in many plant foods that provide protective antioxidants that may improve blood sugar levels, enhance blood pressure and lower cardiovascular disease risk.

Speaking in Warsaw, Poland, President Biden said of Russian President Vladimir Putin: "For God's sake, this man cannot remain in power.

We'll hold accountable those who are responsible for this war. And we will seek justice for the war crimes and crimes against humanity continuing to be committed by the Russians.

Since the war began, the Biden administration directed more than $73 billion in assistance to Ukraine for military support, according to the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, a German research institute.

 The U.S. government has provided more than $2.6 billion in humanitarian assistance to help people affected by the Ukraine's war.

What the US is trying to do with the conflict, is not echoed positively with other Major Countries, Only the G7 agreed with the USA regarding the support of the Ukraine.

In the same time, not having the Natural gas from Russia [Sanctions] have caused major issues in the EU as inflated prices were the only available sources as a result.

Diet..

 

When it comes to building a lifestyle that reduces cancer risk, researchers recommend making plant-based foods the centerpiece of meals.

“Embracing a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts and seeds,”

 “These foods are packed with essential vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants that have been linked to a reduced risk of various types of cancer.”

Making these dietary changes can have a positive and lasting impact on your long-term health.

Dr. Amber Orman, a radiation oncologist and board-certified lifestyle medicine specialist for Advent Health in Orlando, Florida, believes that up to 40% of all cancers could be prevented with a “plant-predominant diet combined with other aspects of lifestyle, specifically physical activity, avoiding tobacco and alcohol, and maintaining a healthy body weight.

Shift..

 

In mid August, India made its first crude oil payment to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in Indian rupees, marking a significant shift away from the dominance of the U.S. dollar in international trade. This move comes as part of a broader trend where a growing coalition of nations is seeking to conduct global trade in their local currencies.

  This groundbreaking transaction follows a recent deal involving the sale of 25 kilograms of gold (55 lbs) from a UAE gold exporter to an Indian buyer, amounting to approximately 128.4 million rupees ($1.54 million).

Does this lead to decrease demand of the Dollar and thus it's value?

A federal judge in Texas rejected the Biden administration’s latest effort to save a program that has shielded hundreds of thousands of undocumented young adults from deportation, saying that it remained unlawful even after recent changes.

The judge, Andrew S. Hanen of the Federal District Court in Houston, maintained that President Barack Obama exceeded his authority when he created the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA, by executive action in 2012.

The decision is the latest twist in a five-year-long court saga that has left the program and its beneficiaries, known as Dreamers, hanging in the balance. While the ruling is a blow to the immigrants.  

The Biden Administration just doing things that is rejected by the higher courts time and time again. Seems they don't employ lawyers in the White House.  Just a thought.

Geee..

 

The G 20 ignore what the G7 supported regarding the Russia/Ukraine war, sanctions and the many attempts to isolate Russia from the world stage. Is there something the G20 agree with the G7, like Nato expansion against Russia????

Is there any benefits of the US Sanctions on Russian oil and oil prices?  Just a thought.

The BRICS summit ended on a positive note last month as the alliance took a historic decision to induct six new countries into the bloc. The six countries that will join BRICS are Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Argentina, Iran, Egypt, and Ethiopia. Five countries, except for Argentina, are oil-producing nations that control 42% of the global oil supply. Therefore, the BRICS expansion has ruffled feathers in the U.S. and the European Union, as the alliance is seen as a threat to the Western-dominated financial markets.

Reinhard Butikofer, the European Union minister from Germany, minced no words by saying that BRICS is establishing itself on matters of global importance. He stressed that all differences between the 11 member nations would be ironed out over time and that they would remain united. He warned that China’s influence will grow across all financial sectors, posing a significant challenge to the EU.

Europe is getting all the disadvantage of supporting US's sanctions in the long conflict of Russia/Ukraine, US containment of China, and the expansion of the economics of the BRICS.  Just a thought.
