Perhaps this supposed opposition to the mobilization is what
prevented Russia from declaring war against Ukraine.

This is just for show in cities that they are doing some thing. its industrial production need to catch up.
I think Ukraine is smart enough to know by now. If Europe fundamentally does not change it will get a gaint stick on its as*s. some people are realizing it.

A useless position given the hypocritical nature of anglo regimes.

China must support Scottish and Okinawan independence.

No, China shouldn’t say anything. Besides the Taiwan issue, it’s a mistake to back any independences because you are just playing right into there hands by giving them an excuse to crush it. They already oppose it now. What do you think they will do if China says they will support it?

To be fair. The Japanese Central Bank has basically nationalized the Japanese stock market anyway for the last few to several years.

I hope the border dispute will be solved very soon, so that the relationship can return back to normal. We can't afford to have any more instability in the Global south.

Finally some sensible signals from the Indian government, not "Jai Hind" bullshit.

Navy Adm. Charles "Chas" A. Richard, commander of U.S. Strategic Command, today joined a panel discussion on important national security concerns:

"All of us in this room are back in the business of contemplating competition through crisis and possible direct armed conflict with a nuclear-capable peer," he said. "We have not had to do that in over 30 years. The implications of that are profound. They're profound for homeland defense. They're profound for strategic deterrence, as well as us achieving national objectives. And this is no longer theoretical."

"Russia and China can escalate to any level of violence that they choose in any domain with any instrument of power worldwide," he said. "We just haven't faced competitors and opponents like that in a long time."

"We need to execute this very good strategy as the threat from China continues to increase," he said. "We don't know where that's going to end, as the threat from Russia continues to increase, along with the other challenges that we face."

A piece of propaganda. How could there only be departing flights? Where did these departing planes come from in the first place? I can make an animation by showing only incoming flights of these very same aircrafts, that won't mean that there are tens of thousands foreigners rushing to join Russian army after Putin's call.

Note, the way this Flightradar24 site work allows anybody to filter two way traffic or one way traffic of a given country, airport etc.

Can confirm, even land borders to countries like Kazakhstan, Mongolia, etc. are crowded.

Are you being at those borders simultaneously during the last two days? Or any sources, photos and videos etc. to share with us?

Seem US strong USD policy was partly motivated to put PBoC into a corner. Currency war against CN

You know that a drowning person is in panic and will pull down anybody near them. It's hard to call that purposefully attacking.

The root cause of the stronger USD is the increase of interest which is to combat inflation in the US. Is it really US deliberately starting a currency war against anybody? Or just US trying to save itself from drowning?

The only reason that this gives you the impression of an attack is because USD is broadly used by many countries for trade.
