Russia-Ukraine War
The war in the Ukraine approaches three years in 2025. The Ukrainian counter-offensive largely saw little to negligible gains but massive casualties, deaths on both sides and huge amounts of aid, munition and humanitarian aid.
Both countries have seen massive causalities of war in the hundreds of thousands. Recruitment to the army in these countries has often included criminals and convicts to replenish flanks that have been wiped out.
18th Nov
The Biden Admin gave the all clear for Ukraine to deploy ATACMS, high velocity, long-range missiles into Russia.
BRICS Summit, Kursk and North Korean Troops
We had the time to review the BRICS summit in Russia in which Russia, despite the best efforts of the western alliance, didn’t appear isolated. While Russia has its problems with population decline; the nations of India, China , Brazil are no central to world trade and are necessary to any world order.
Putin was confronted directly on the Kursk incursion. We tend to believe that there is quite the possibility that the Russian army has encircled the the Ukrainian battalions in the Kursk region.
It is noteworthy that Russia and North Korea signed a defense pact. Recently the deployment of ten thousand North Korean army members to the Kursk region may be part of this treaty or they may later be deployed to the Ukraine, this remains to be seen.
With the New President elect, Donald Trump, there could be renewed hopes for a deal between these two adversaries. The question is for many should Ukraine be forced to cede territory it had before the war ?
Israel-Gaza and Palestine conflict
Israeli attack on Iran
In the much promised retaliation on Iran for their ballistic missile barrage on October 1st, we saw the response in which according to reports some 120 fighter jets invaded Iranian airspace with little response and targeted a number of ballistic manufacturing sites, airbases and other military installations. Iran issued a statement that it reserved the right again to respond.
Both countries were slow to release evidence or footage of the damage caused by the Israeli strike. It is also unclear why there was or was not any response from the Iranian air force to the violation of their airspace by over 100 jets. It may be that the Israeli aircraft ability dwarfs that of Iran. We can’t really know for sure without accurate reports.
We tend to come to the conclusion that the Iranian defense and anti-ballistic missile system has been considerably set back, perhaps by months or years depending on the support it can get from allies. Little reporting has been given by either side to this fact.
Syrian uprising and Israeli opportunistic bombing of Syria
With Assad on the run in Russia and a new regime being installed in Syria,.Israel was quick to bomb military installations in Syria and push troops into Syrian territory. It remains to be seen, how far Israeli troops will encroach upon Syrian territory. The statement is that it wishes to create some buffer zone from terrorist attacks on its territory.
Inflation and Migration in Europe
Housing
We here encourage removal of red tape to allow planning an extensive building of housing.This purpose is to reduce the social burden and also allow citizens and legal migrants to be adequately housed. I would deem a fair housing rent to be no more than 40 percent of the monthly income for a minimum wage worker. I think European nations need to aspire and meet this target. This would be the price for a a single housing unit or a family housing unit where there are two workers in the household. For example it might be necessary to cap rents at 500 euro in the euro zone for a single unit and 800 euro for a family unit. Both being a private residence. Some reports indicate that net immigration in parts of Europe exceeded new housing by multiple factors which has greatly contributed to a housing crisis. While it might be good news for landlords, it is not good news for the average worker and migrant alike, the later may initially benefit from free accommodation. Further measures might be to examine all vacant properties in each State to see if they can be made available for housing.
European Measures to quickly counter Inflation
I have a number of proposals to create better living conditions and quickly counter inflation in the Eurozone area.
- Tax all second properties ,reduce and eliminate all tax breaks for investment properties and have a incremental scale of tax for multiple properties.
- Increase the banking reserve rate,the amount of cash banks need to hold, increase the basal requirements for banks to secure their depositors and drastically reduce if not eliminate the fractional reserve policy.
- Immediately reduce the amount of EU buying of sovereign government debt to discourage increased debt in the Eurozone.
Bitcoin, which doesn’t resemble a coin but part of a program, reaches record highs on the election of President Trump, elected by his enthusiastic followers. The price reaches approx $80k and gold has reached record highs recently. Both are good indicators of inflation.
These have given rise to an exigency in Europe.
US Congress Foreign aid Package
The US Congress recently passed a roughly 90 billion dollar aid package for essentially military spending that included some humanitarian spending. The package sought to bolster defenses in the Ukraine,Israel and the China Sea region. We think again this spending will result in inflation in the US economy.
EU Anti-Inflationary purposals
To counter inflation in the Eurozone a number of measures need to be undertaken.
Firstly, an increase in the banking reserve rate the percentage of cash banks need to hold.
Secondly, we would encourage a tightening of the banking fractional reserve system and an update to the Basal banking accords. Ultimately dramatically limiting the banking lending policy with the aim of securing the banking system ,limiting false profits to banki
