Beautiful Christmas gifts from Eastern Europe
The so-called ‘Trump trade’ has recently caused a stir on Wall Street and in cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, which rose to over 100,000 BTC/USD at its peak, and especially in Ripple, which more than tripled. Tesla in particular went through the roof with an 80% increase in price since Trump’s election victory. The S&P 500 has risen 15% since Trump’s election victory to new all-time highs. Records upon records. Now, however, many investors are wondering whether the high expectations placed in Trump and Musk will be met next year.

France and Germany without leadership: Is the euro in danger?
The world seems to be on its head at the moment, with momentous events and breaking news coming thick and fast. Last week, one piece of bad news followed another. On closer inspection, each report contains incredibly explosive material. This may give a small taste of what to expect next year, which will be very turbulent under Trump. But perhaps the events are also related to something bigger that is looming and will only come to fruition next year. 1. In South Korea, the president declares martial law and then, six hours later, revokes it after strong protests from demonstrators and parliament. 2. In Georgia, there is a threat of a second violent ‘Maidan’ and overthrow of the government 3. In Syria, there is a change of power: Assad has to flee, but who will fill the power vacuum?+++ 4. Putin threatens to send missiles to the countries that allow their missiles to be fired from Ukrainian soil into Russia, which would mean a World War 3 5. Trump meets with Macron and Selinskyi in Paris to discuss a peace solution in Ukraine 6. Trump threatens the BRICS countries with tariff increases if they establish their own BRICS currency 7. China bans the export of some raw materials, Russia wants to ban the export of uranium to the USA. 8. France and Germany’s government crisis could jeopardise the euro.

Is Joe Biden provoking World War III just before he leaves office?
At the G20 summit on 18-19 November in Brazil, Joe Biden’s surprising decision to now also authorise the firing of American intermediate-range missiles called ATACMS at Russia was the dominant topic, at least behind the scenes, with many of the presidents present there not at all satisfied with Biden’s decision. The African Union was also invited for the first time, and it was also very critical of Biden’s decision. Many African countries have long been considering joining the BRICS because they want a just, multipolar world order and not one dominated by the United States. They also see the United States as partly responsible for the war in Ukraine through NATO’s eastward expansion and its ‘co-opting’ of Ukraine since the 2014 coup.
