Poll..

 

A new Washington Post-ABC poll showing Joe Biden trailing his presidential predecessor Donald Trump by 10 percentage points.
The Washington Post acknowledged its survey was not in line with most polls.
The Post wrote in its analysis: “The … poll shows Biden trailing Trump by 10 percentage points at this early stage in the election cycle, although the sizable margin of Trump’s lead in this survey is significantly at odds with other public polls that show the general election contest a virtual dead heat.

Bleed..


Ukrainian President announced he would pursue fast-track NATO membership, yet the application failed to draw.  

US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan articulated that it was "not the right time." His underlying message was: The US does not need Ukraine as a NATO member, but needs Ukraine, rather than the whole of NATO, to fight against Russia

The value of Ukraine as a pawn has not yet been fully exploited by the US. Before Russia is exhausted by the war, the US will have no appetite to end the crisis, or stop taking advantage of Ukraine.   Ukraine is the one that literally keeps bleeding. 

 Ukraine has been trapped in an ethnic conflict for a long time at home. Worse still, it is now in a war. 

NATO has a clear standard when it comes to expansion - to gain more advantage, rather than taking on a burden. Only when Ukraine develops itself into a stable and prosperous country without conflict both at home and broad will it be the realistic timing for it to become a NATO member.   [GT]

Declared..

 

That was then, Now he released 200 Million Barrel of the central reserve with no impact what soever. He asked for more production of the American producers but for what reason. He a;;ready showed his hand.

Then the G7 initiated sanctions on Russia's oil, Natural gas and other energy product.
Then they needed energy from other sources three fold the prices.

The Saudi realized there is too much oil available, they cut productions to keep reasonable prices for them. Then comes Bidens with the standard threat.

It went all in full circle. His attitude against fossil hasn't change and the high prices hasn't changed either. That caused hundred of billions of dollars spent due to high prices in this process. Just a thought.

Peace..

 

Yak Yak..

 

The relationships might be close, the handshakes might have been firm, but President Volodymyr Zelensky had to roll his sleeves up during his trip to the US and Canada.

The latter was the easier end. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau promised to support Ukraine "for as long as it takes" against Russia's invasion, and he has cross-party support in that endeavor.

America's pockets are deeper, but its politics are far more complicated.

President Zelensky secured another $325m (£265m) military package from the White House, but it wasn't the $24bn biggie he'd been hoping for.

Let us not forget the Ukraine wanted to join Nato where the G7 wanted to surround Russia with Military bases. The war then broke up with a cost so far in GDP, Inflation cost, Oil Prices, food shortage and food prices exceeds trillions of dollars to the G7.   Just a thought.

Alliances..

 

Close..

 

Are we really that close? Think about it.

Humanitarian..

 

Joe Biden has defended the “difficult decision” to send widely banned cluster munitions to Ukraine, after he was condemned by human rights groups and a fellow Democrat said it was “unnecessary and a terrible mistake”.

Hana..

 

U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said: “As the grand jury charged, between 2018 and 2022, Senator Menendez and his wife engaged in a corrupt relationship.

As part of the scheme, MENENDEZ provided sensitive, non-public U.S. government information to Egyptian officials and otherwise took steps to secretly aid the Government of Egypt.  For example, in or about May 2018, MENENDEZ provided Egyptian officials with non-public information regarding the number and nationality of persons serving at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, Egypt.  

Although this information was not classified, it was deemed highly sensitive.
At various times between 2018 and 2022, MENENDEZ also conveyed to Egyptian officials, through NADINE MENENDEZ, HANA, and/or DAIBES, that he would approve or remove holds on foreign military financing and sales of military equipment to Egypt in connection with his leadership role on the SFRC.

However, IS EG Halal had little to no revenue until the spring of 2019, when the Government of Egypt granted IS EG Halal a monopoly on the certification of U.S. food exports to Egypt as compliant with halal standards, despite the fact that neither HANA nor his company had experience with halal certification.  The monopoly generated revenue for HANA, through which he paid NADINE MENENDEZ as promised.
