Russian-Turkish trade booming – official data

Trade between Moscow and Ankara has continued to grow, with the volume of goods exported by Russia amounting to $4.17 billion in April, official data shows.

According to the Turkish Institute of Statistics, Russia was Türkiye’s leading supplier, accounting for nearly 15% of the country’s total imports. It was followed by China, Germany, Italy, and the US, with the combined share of Turkish imports from these countries reaching 44% in April.

The report also shows that in the first four months of the year, Türkiye imported Russian goods worth $17.2 billion.

Moscow and Ankara have been aiming to deepen economic cooperation and expand bilateral trade. In April, Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Turkish counterpart, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, agreed to encourage mutual investments and help Russian and Turkish businesses enter each other’s markets.

According to Putin, the trade turnover between the two countries in 2022 exceeded $62 billion.

Last year, Türkiye and Russia signed a roadmap for economic cooperation that envisages bringing bilateral trade turnover to $100 billion a year. The two nations have also agreed to introduce the Russian ruble as a settlement currency in bilateral trade, including payment for Russian natural gas supplies.

Argentina to join BRICS bank – media

The formal announcement will reportedly be made in August



Argentina is one step away from joining the New Development Bank (NDB) of the BRICS group of major emerging economies, Telam news agency reported on Thursday, citing the head of the entity Dilma Rousseff.

Rousseff, a former president of Brazil, told Argentinian Economy Minister Sergio Massa that the NBD’s board of directors had formally enabled her to vote on Argentina’s entry to the financial organization, the outlet said.

“Sergio, I have good news, I found the shortcut. The board of directors has agreed to add Argentina to the bank. It will be announced at the August meeting in South Africa,” Rousseff reportedly told Massa at the bank’s headquarters in Shanghai, adding that “it is the fastest way to go straight to August.”

The lender was established by BRICS member states – Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa – back in 2014. The five economies of the bloc account for more than 40% of the world’s population and nearly a quarter of global GDP.

The proposal on Argentina’s admission, backed by Brazil, will be discussed at the next meeting of NDB governors scheduled for the first week of August in South Africa

For Argentina, membership of the bank offers the prospect of accessing financial assistance, the news outlet noted. To meet entry requirements, Argentina will have to make a contribution worth $250 million in sovereign bonds to the BRICS bank from its treasury.

The talks come at a time when the NDB is negotiating with Saudi Arabia on admitting the kingdom as the tenth member of the BRICS bank.

The NDB was launched with the purpose of financing infrastructure and sustainable development in member states and other emerging economies. It also aims to help member states reduce dependence on the US dollar and euro. The multinational lender continues to expand its global reach and already includes Bangladesh, the United Arab Emirates, Uruguay and Egypt. It has lent $33 billion to more than 96 projects in the five founding member nations.

I think this little snippet I chopped out of a Courtney Turner interview with Patrick Byrne back stage at the recent Miami ReAwaken event belongs here in this thread, even though I personally agree with very little of what Patrick said.

I have to take it at least seriously enough to pass on and share though, because I know Patrick is very well connected and involved with the patriot circle around a Trump return to the presidency.

He views the relationship between WEF and CCP very differently from how I see it.

Russia will ‘never again’ accept US rules – Lavrov

Russia is at the forefront of a global rebellion against US hegemony, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said.

Speaking on a visit to Tajikistan on Monday, Lavrov stated that Russia’s diplomatic corps is increasing its global engagement after a period of disarray that followed the collapse of the Soviet Union.

“Over the last couple of years, we have been returning to Africa [and] Latin America. A determination has accumulated never to accept the ‘rules’ that Washington is imposing. Its role is diminishing, slowly but surely. An increasing number of nations are disillusioned with it,” Lavrov insisted.

The US-backed ‘rules-based order’ is prone to inconsistency whenever any nation attempts to determine its own policies, Lavrov said. He added that Russia is “at the very forefront” of resisting Western pressure, despite the US and its “subjugated” allies targeting Moscow with sanctions and attempting to isolate it. In practice, they have failed to separate Russia from the international community, the diplomat argued.

Lavrov said that US foreign policy was aimed at destabilizing certain parts of the world, so that Washington could “fish in the troubled water” under the guise of fighting terrorism and offering security. This is among the ways Washington coerces others into accepting its orders, the Russian foreign minister added.

Lavrov made the comments as he addressed Russian troops stationed at a military base in Dushanbe. The site is one of a handful of military facilities that Moscow operates on foreign soil. The diplomat said that whether dressed in suits or bearing guns, people were serving Russia “each in our own place” as they oppose Western machinations.

China's 4nm chips are officially commercialized, self-developed chips have new hope, the United States can't stop it

Recently, the National Supercomputing Center of China (NSCC) announced that it has successfully achieved the packaging of China's first 4-nm chip and has already applied the chip in computer clusters. This signifies another advancement for China in chip packaging technology, opening up a new path for enhancing chip performance in the country.

Advanced packaging technology has gained attention due to the current development of advanced processes reaching a bottleneck. Both TSMC and Samsung announced the mass production of 3-nmprocesses last year. However, Samsung's 3-nm process has been criticized for its extremely low yield rate, estimated to be around 10% to 20%. The abysmally low yield rate leads to high costs, and it is still unknown which customers are using Samsung's 3-nm process.

TSMC also announced the mass production of its 3-nm process at the end of last year, but it is expected that only Apple will be using this process. Apple is projected to start adopting this process for the production of their A17 processors in June. In the past, whenever TSMC began mass production of advanced processes, Apple and other clients immediately adopted them. However, this time, the 3-nm process has been delayed by six months. Industry experts believe that Apple was dissatisfied with the limited performance improvement and high cost of TSMC's 3-nm process, which compelled TSMC to refine it to the second generation 3-nm process, known as N3E, before Apple agreed to use it.

There are two types of chiplet technology. One involves packaging similar chips of the same process together, such as Apple's M1 Pro MAX, which combines two M1 chips in a special way to significantly enhance performance. The other type involves packaging chips of different processes together, aiming to improve overall performance by reducing communication time between the chips.

There are two chiplet packaging technologies, both of which are being developed by companies in China. The first one is chip stacking technology proposed by a technology company in Shenzhen, China. This technology integrates two 14-nm chips to achieve performance close to a 7-nm process. It has already been patented.

China's largest packaging company, JCET (Jiangsu Changjiang Electronics Technology), has developed 4-nm chiplet packaging technology, which has reached a leading global level. It can package chips of different processes together to achieve superior performance. The maximum package size reaches 1500 square millimeters, meeting the performance demands for advanced chips in multiple industries in China.

To accelerate the development of advanced packaging technology in China, over 60 domestic companies have joined forces to establish standards for data transfer rates, interfaces, and other technical specifications for related products. They have released their own chiplet technology standard called "Cliplet." China has a strong level of autonomy and a leading edge in chiplet technology, supported by various advanced packaging technology companies in the country. Among the top ten packaging companies globally, seven are Chinese enterprises, while mainland China alone has three packaging companies, whereas the United States has only one.

It is speculated that the NSCC may have collaborated with domestic advanced packaging companies to adopt advanced packaging technology. For supercomputers, they have larger space, and the power consumption issues that come with advanced packaging technology can be addressed. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that they have taken the lead in applying the leading-edge 4-nm packaging technology.

China's pioneering commercialization of advanced packaging technology has provided a new development path for the Chinese chip industry. It can alleviate to some extent the impact of advanced processes on the domestic chip industry. After all, apart from a few industries such as PCs and smartphones, mature process technologies can be adopted for the majority of chip demands in the country. Mature process technologies can meet around 70% of domestic chip requirements, and when combined with advanced packaging technology, they can further enhance the competitiveness of domestic chips.

US attempts 'divide and conquer' strategy against BRICS



© Wu Hong
Something extraordinary, at least on the surface, happened on the sidelines of the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore earlier this month - a somewhat pompous affair self-described as "Asia's premier defense summit".

Intel heads of 24 nations met in de facto semi-secrecy, because in the end the event was duly leaked (Western spin qualified it as an "informal" meeting).

Among the 24, the real deal comprised the US and all the other Five Eyes, plus representatives of two BRICS members, China and India. All the others were not identified with certainty or preferred to remain anonymous - presumably due to their "hanger on" status.

Crucially, key BRICS member Russia was not represented.

Reuters swore the information about the not-so-secret gathering came from five different - unnamed - sources. A Southeast Asian diplomat independently confirmed the presence of the Five Eyes, China, India and Singapore - and that was it. The de facto sponsor of the meeting was Singapore's Ministry of Defense.

Things gets curioser and curioser when we examine the leak a bit closer. So many sources basically corroborating each other point to a concerted spin - practically on an official level. If this was meant to be really secret, as in the past, that would have been the case, with every involved lip conveniently sealed. So why leak it?

Washington's Divide and Conquer Strategy

Such spy vs. spy meetings, historically, take ages to prepare, especially one involving 24 nations and featuring superpower rivals US and China. That implies countless qualified sherpas redacting documents; very complicated logistics; an ultra-secure environment; and an extremely detailed script covering every intervention.

All of that must have been discussed in excruciating detail for months, side by side with putting together the larger agenda for the Shangri-La Dialogue: and all the while there were no leaks.

And then what was leaked, after the meeting, was just that it happened. With only selected participating players fully identified. There's absolutely nothing on substance.

It beggars belief that the Five Eyes would openly discuss Western security fears and/or procedures openly with the Chinese, not to mention the other minor hangers-on. After all the Beijing leadership is fully aware the US-UK is engaged in full hybrid war against China, with the Five Eyes and containment mechanisms such as Quad and AUKUS in tow.

Jeffrey Sachs was discussed in quite a few posts on this thread a few weeks ago.

Here he is again in a new livestream with The Duran, published a few hours ago. There's very little he says that I'd disagree with.

The only thing I would question is that he seems to have little awareness of sheer US malevolence. ("US would benefit from peace", he says. No doubt that's true, but the neocons do NOT want peace.)

Security guarantees, with Jeffrey Sachs

Syria intends to join BRICS, SCO

Syrian Finance Minister, Kanaan Yaghi, told Russian news outlet Sputnik on 15 June that Damascus has plans to apply to join both the BRICS+ group of emerging economies and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO).

“Syria intends to apply for membership” in both organizations, the minister said, adding that it is also planning to open a branch of Russia’s Sberbank in the country.

Syria has long been an admirer of the concept behind the BRICS+ group, which represents cooperation and mutual prosperity between developing countries, particularly those targeted by western sanctions.

Syrian presidential adviser Bouthaina Shaaban said in 2013: “Praise be to God, there are countries like those of the BRICS group, that are confronting the international community with logic … The BRICS countries have been adopting a very honest and balanced position.”

That year, President Bashar al-Assad referred to BRICS+ as “a just force that seeks to bring peace, security, and cooperation among countries, far from the [western] hegemony and injustice imposed on our peoples and nations for decades.”

The finance minister’s declaration comes as several other Arab countries are looking to join BRICS+, including Saudi Arabia, who this year restored ties with Iran under a historic agreement, and has just resumed diplomatic relations with Syria after years of enmity.

Many other countries, such as Algeria, Turkiye, the UAE, and Egypt, have expressed interest in joining the organization.

Like BRICS+, the SCO also offers an opportunity for developing nations to engage in economic, energy, defense, security, and trade cooperation.

Yaghi’s comments also follow Damascus’ return to the regional fold, which – it is hoped – will help facilitate the reconstruction of Syria following 12 years of US-sponsored war, which has destroyed much of the country.

In early June, the BRICS+ group released a statement welcoming Syria’s return to the Arab League, and expressing support for a political solution that will respect the country’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

In a recent report by International Affairs Forum (IAF), titled ‘Will BRICS Build the New Syria,’ Elio Azar writes: “The quest for Syrian reconstruction might be the BRICS nations’ golden opportunity to prove their worth as global players … as the West loses its grip over the Syrian situation, reconstruction loans and contracts offer themselves to the world’s emerging economies on a silver platter.”

" Called for the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development " & Reiterated that the objectives, principles and provisions of the UNFCCC and its Paris Agreement must be honoured " thats two big red flags.

Why would they continue to implement these agenda & agreement they are NWO models for the future of humanity?

Unless BRICS is the old system reinventing itself and simply part of the destruction of western (predominantly white) nations and transfer of industry and economy to the third world countries, if so then I take it the NWO plans are moving along nicely.

I think it may be misunderstood or works differently in Moscow than its Western idea of similar name.

BlackRock explained how Ukraine is fantastic for manipulating the wheat market.

Israel made a complaint that western weapons supplied to Ukraine are now aimed at their borders (anti-tank missiles primarily).


Nothing should really be news, since, it was centuries ago that China said they had no need to take over the world, because the world will come to them. Was anyone listening? Of course not. Too busy implementing a rogue western bloc. I would almost say it "never was", since, when you make a house of cards out of something that is un-sustainable, it doesn't work.


Again, I am partly trolling for any suggestions about British old money families who are personally benefitting from what is going on with Russia and China. This may have slipped due to making a system that only benefits the system itself, such as a newer employee of BlackRock is destined for success at the expense of the House of Windsor. It is probably true that some volume of western corporate wealth is going to cruise along relatively unscathed, even though most of the political influence peddlers will be muted.


Looking into the danger zone of the Foreign Policy statement, it upholds the principles of the UN Charter, but calls for reforms on how the committees work. The objection is exactly against a mono-polar, such as WEF, influence, but then we do find they want to take a serious look at climate change. The next meeting to possibly address this in line with sustainability is:


Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Summit, to be held in New York in September 2023


In my view, I do not think it is too hard for them to figure out and oppose military and political dominance. But I do not think they have figured out all the western dirty tricks such as in finances and climate science.

We found that perhaps the only thing that was ever globally-unanimous was the founding of WHO, which is understandable because in some senses it is a great idea, unless you knew the insidiousness of Rockefeller medicine which had plagued New York for fifty years. I wouldn't blame anyone for being oblivious to this and resistant to even think of the possibilities. It is only recently that such ideas may have become palatable around the world.

And so I think our best bet is to try to make some friends in these countries and explain to them how this bag of dirty tricks works in all avenues of life, not just the obvious military/political. There would need to be a strong public belief that some of these things are wrong and dangerous, much like India found out with Monsanto. I don't think the Dalai Lama understood the CIA in about the same way that perhaps some Brazilians believe the United States is about to cure cancer.


I don't think they have all the details, which means there is some vulnerability to other misguided ideas moving forward.
