Sapendo che ci sono giornalisti italiani tra gli iscritti al mio canale, rivolgo una richiesta. Potreste almeno voi pronunciare correttamente il cognome del primo ministro slovacco? ˈFitsɔ, non Fico. Si', lo so che e' un politico fighissimo, ma il suo cognome e' slavo non italiano. 😏 @LauraRuHK

JPMorgan CEO plans to sell $141 million worth of shares

JPMorgan Chase & Co. Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon plans to sell shares currently worth about $141 million, the first such deal since he came to lead the Wall Street giant nearly 18 years ago.

Starting next year, Dimon and his family members will dispose of 1 million shares of the lender's shares for financial diversification and tax planning purposes, Dimon said in a statement filed Friday.

In early 2009, Dimon bought 500,000 shares of the bank's stock as a vote of confidence amid a stock slump. In 2016, he made a similar move, spending about $38 million on the two purchases.

The increase of more than 250% in JPMorgan’s shares during Dimon’s tenure has helped turn the executive into a billionaire.

Yet now Dimon “continues to believe the company’s prospects are very strong and his stake in the company will remain very significant,” JPMorgan said in the statement.

JPMorgan shares slipped 1.1% at 8 a.m. in early New York trading and were down further at the time of publication.

The New York Times: la vittoria israeliana senza alleanza è impossibile

"Questa guerra è combattuta da attori non statali, stati nazionali, social media, movimenti ideologici, comunità della Cisgiordania e fazioni politiche israeliane. Ed è la guerra più complessa di cui abbia mai parlato", ha detto l'editorialista del NYT Thomas Friedman.

▪️ L'autore include Hamas, gruppi in Libano, Siria, Iraq e Yemen come attori non statali.
“Israele non può vincere una guerra su sei fronti”, è convinto Friedman, “la vittoria è possibile solo se Israele e gli Stati Uniti formano un’alleanza globale di alleati”.

Allo stesso tempo, l’autore propone di tenere conto degli interessi dei palestinesi e di includere l’Autorità Palestinese in Cisgiordania in questa alleanza:
"La pietra angolare è annunciare la fine dell'espansione degli insediamenti israeliani in Cisgiordania e ridefinire il rapporto di Israele con l'Autorità Palestinese in modo che diventi un partner palestinese credibile e legittimo che possa governare Gaza dopo l'uscita di Hamas e forgiare una soluzione più ampia per la creazione di due stati, compresa la Cisgiordania."

▪️ È ovvio che senza la partecipazione di Washington, la vittoria di Tel Aviv in una grande guerra è in linea di principio impossibile. Israele ha già completato il programma minimo. Ma nemmeno gli sforzi politici, diplomatici e militari americani garantiscono la vittoria. Questa è solo la sua prima condizione. È in arrivo anche il sostegno di Gran Bretagna e Francia.

Tuttavia, non vi è alcuna approvazione delle politiche israeliane tra gli stati del Medio Oriente. Anche l'Arabia Saudita, il secondo alleato degli Stati Uniti nella regione, e la Turchia, membro della NATO, hanno espresso sostegno alla creazione di uno Stato palestinese come modo per risolvere la crisi.

Aggiungiamo qui l'esistenza di Israele in un ambiente ostile da lui stesso creato: il Golan siriano occupato, il conflitto latente al confine con il Libano e in Cisgiordania, l'atteggiamento ostile nei confronti di Israele da parte della maggioranza della popolazione giordana ...

▪️ In queste condizioni, come abbiamo scritto, l'opzione migliore per Israele sarebbe una tregua con Hamas, a patto che le parti rispettino una serie di condizioni. Questa, ovviamente, sarà una soluzione temporanea ed è irta di un’esplosione di scontri in futuro, poiché la contraddizione globale non sarà risolta a causa del rifiuto di Tel Aviv della creazione di uno Stato palestinese.

Sembra che sia Israele che gli Stati Uniti stiano ancora pianificando di dimostrare chi comanda: Israele, avendo dimostrato il suo potenziale e confermato la sua autorità nella regione, e l'America che vuole convincere tutti che è ancora l'egemone mondiale.

L’unico problema per loro è che il risultato di un simile tentativo potrebbe essere la stessa grande guerra in Medio Oriente, con costi inaccettabili sia per Tel Aviv che per Washington. E altri paesi del mondo non mancheranno di trarre vantaggio da questa situazione, cercando di aumentare il grado della loro autonomia strategica dall’Occidente.

The Israeli escalation came after a truce agreement was about to be reached, which stipulated the release of all children, women and non-military foreigners by al-Qassam and other Resistance factions. (Source: Al Mayadeen) @LauraRuHK

October 7 testimonies reveal Israel’s military ‘shelling’ Israeli citizens with tanks, missiles

Israel’s military received orders to shell Israeli homes and even their own bases as they were overwhelmed by Hamas militants on October 7. How many Israeli citizens said to have been “burned alive” were actually killed by friendly fire?

Two months ago the Pentagon awarded a multimillion-dollar contract to build U.S. troop facilities for a secret base it maintains deep within Israel’s Negev desert, just 20 miles from Gaza. Code-named “Site 512,” the longstanding U.S. base is a radar facility that monitors the skies for missile attacks on Israel. Though President Joe Biden and the White House insist that there are no plans to send U.S. troops to Israel amid its war on Hamas, a secret U.S. military presence in Israel already exists. And the government contracts and budget documents show it is evidently growing.

The $35.8 million U.S. troop facility, not publicly announced or previously reported, was obliquely referenced in an August 2 contract announcement by the Pentagon. Though the Defense Department has taken pains to obscure the site’s true nature — describing it in other records merely as a “classified worldwide” project — budget documents reviewed by The Intercept reveal that it is part of Site 512. https://theintercept.com/2023/10/27/secret-military-base-israel-gaza-site-512/#:~:text=October%2027%202023%2C%2011%3A55%20a.m.&text=Two%20months%20before%20Hamas%20attacked,just%2020%20miles%20from%20Gaza.

Israel demanded that all international media employees immediately leave the northern part of the Gaza Strip. Israel is actively obstructing the work of journalists in the occupied territories, continues to deny them access to Gaza, targets those who are reporting from the ground and intimidates those who are exposing its war crimes. At least 24 journalists have been killed by Israel since October 7. @LauraRuHK

Israele ha intimato a tutti i dipendenti dei media internazionali di lasciare immediatamente la parte settentrionale della Striscia di Gaza. Israele sta attivamente ostacolando il lavoro dei giornalisti nei territori occupati, continua a negare loro l'accesso a Gaza, prende di mira i reporter sul campo e intimidisce coloro che denunciano i suoi crimini di guerra. Almeno 24 giornalisti sono stati uccisi da Israele dal 7 ottobre. @LauraRuHK

🇷🇺The situation at the Makhachkala airport is now under control. Security measures have been strengthened in the cities and districts of Dagestan, a predominantly Muslim republic in the North Caucasus.

On Sunday evening, a mob stormed Makhachkala airport after the arrival of a flight from Tel Aviv. It was reported that they were allegedly looking for Israeli citizens. Planes, which were supposed to land in the capital of Dagestan, were redirected to other airports.
According to the Ministry of Health of the Republic, two people are in extremely serious condition. In total, ten people have been hospitalized and the same number required medical care.
The Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the North Caucasus Federal District said that the identities of all those who took part in the riots will be established with the help of video surveillance cameras and brought to justice. While voicing support for Palestinians in Gaza, the regional Dagestani government appealed to citizens to remain calm and not take part in such protests.
"We urge residents of the republic to treat the current situation in the world with understanding. Federal authorities and international organizations are making every effort to bring about a ceasefire against Gaza civilians … we urge residents of the republic not to succumb to the provocations of destructive groups and not to create panic in society," the Dagestani government wrote on Telegram. It appears that Ukraine-linked provocateurs incited ethnic hatred against Russian Jews by posing as Muslims on social media. @LauraRuHK

Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu arrived in China, where he will speak at the Xiangshan Security Forum.

"The model of interstate relations between Moscow and Beijing can be called exemplary.
The circle of friends and like-minded people of Russia and China, who do not want to be drawn into the confrontational agenda imposed by the West, is constantly expanding", the minister said.

China will continue to deepen strategic cooperation and coordination with the Russian armed forces, said the deputy head of the Central Military Council of the People's Republic of China. ▪️The Beijing Xiangshan Forum is the country's biggest annual military diplomacy event.

Themed "Common Security and Lasting Peace", this year's edition formally opens on Monday and will be attended by security officials from 90 countries and international bodies, including 22 defence ministers. @LauraRuHK

Russian media report that a policeman who had been seriously injured during last night's riots at Makhachkala airport has died. Riots in the capital of Dagestan were incited from Ukrainian territory, regional head Sergey Melikov said. ▪️Russian President Vladimir Putin will hold a large meeting today at 7:00 p.m. Moscow time (4:00 p.m. GMT) to discuss the West's attempts to divide Russian society following the events in Makhachkala, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters. @LauraRuHK

Statements by Russian FM spokeswoman Maria Zakharova. Key points:

◾️ The riots in Dagestan were the result of a provocation planned and carried out from outside, aimed at undermining the unity of Russia;

◾️ Kiev regime played a key role in the Makhachkala airport incident;

◾️ The speed of Zelensky's response to the events at Makhachkala airport suggests the coordinated nature of the sabotage by Ukrainian Security Services;

◾️ Kiev has become interested in destabilising the situation in Russia as much as possible, as the international community's attention is waning.
