Nearly $2.7bn from US taxpayers was what the Biden administration has approved in new aid for Ukraine and allies. Of this amount, $675m will go in weapons to Ukraine to fight the Russians. So far, the US has pledged at least $13bn from your money, American worker, in military aid to Ukraine. Remember that politicians do whatever they want with your money. You will never be asked if it’s correct or not. They just use the country’s resources for their own benefit, not people’s interests. Keep that in mind.

Over the weekend, Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan accused Greece of occupying demilitarised islands in the Aegean Sea, warning that Turkey will do ‘what’s necessary’ when the time comes.

€65bn to help households and companies manage skyrocketing prices, is what Olaf Scholz announced to get through this winter. Scholz has accused electricity producers of making excessive profits in this crisis. A few energy companies, which may not be using gas to generate electricity, are using the excuse of high gas prices to make big money. Analyse this. If companies are struggling with high prices of raw materials, for instance, how come those companies treble their income? It makes no sense. If they are making more money is because they are having lower operating costs, aren’t they? Under European Union rules, electricity prices are determined by the price of the most expensive fuel, which is usually gas. Meaning that companies do not base the price on their overheads.

A few days ago, two people died and four more were in hospital from a mysterious pneumonia in Tucuman, Argentina, driving fears of a new viral outbreak. Argentina’s Ministry of Health informed that Legionella was the culprit, adding that authorities are investigating the source.

This prediction will be delivered to the next Prime Minister on 6 September.

$1.3 trillion is what Poland estimates Germany owes it because of the losses caused by Nazi Germany during World War II. The ballpark figure was calculated, in a conservative method, by Law and Justice, the political party currently ruling Poland. This party has repeatedly called for compensations since it took power in 2015, but not officially. Around 6 million Poles, including 3 million Polish Jews, were massacred by the Nazis. Warsaw was also razed to the ground after a 1944 uprising in which about 200,000 civilians died.
