🇧🇷🚩🇮🇱☄️ — DIPLOMATIC CRISIS: The Israeli Ambassador to Brazil, Daniel Zonshine, said that Hezbollah planned an attack on Jewish entities on Brazilian soil due to having supporters in the country; Brazil's federal police deny the accusations and accuse the ambassador of causing trouble
‼️ "The Hezbollah's interest anywhere in the world is to kill Jews. If they chose Brazil, it's because there are people who help them," said Zonshine, citing the Triple Frontier (between Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay) as a region where there are supporters of the Lebanese group.
⌛️ The ambassador recalled the attack on the AMIA (Argentine Israelite Mutual Association) in Buenos Aires, which killed 85 people in 1994. In 2006, the Argentine Prosecutor's Office formally accused the Iranian regime and Hezbollah of the attack. "Hezbollah was going to do in Brazil what it did in Argentina. The group is funded by Iran and drug trafficking, mainly," said Zonshine.
⚠️ However, the Director-General of the Federal Police (PF), Andrei Passos Rodrigues, said that the statements made by the Israeli Ambassador to Brazil, Daniel Zonshine, caused "discomfort" in the institution.
"It was a negative surprise since there are historical relations between Brazil and Israel. I completely repudiate it. (...) It causes discomfort the way a technical job [of the PF] is being exploited, which has only the Constitution of Brazil and Brazilian laws as benchmarks."
Ukrainian forces have begun training and testing exoskeletons for battlefield use. Soldiers from the 147th Separate Artillery Brigade are using them in the Pokrovsk sector for both logistics and frontline operations. The goal is to reduce physical strain, especially when loading heavy artillery shells into howitzers without automatic loaders. Artillery crews can handle up to 1200 kg of ammunition per day, and early tests show that exoskeletons help them work faster and with less fatigue Above all, by improving the conditions for those soldiers on the front lines who handle such heavy loads, plus the stress of work. Seeking to reduce overall fatigue in the troops

🇺🇸 Blue Owl Capital just disclosed that investors tried to pull 40.7% of one fund and 21.9% of another in a single quarter, and both funds gave the same answer, you can only have 5% back, and everyone else waits in line.
This is a bank run, not a normal withdrawal.
Wall Street spent the last decade selling millions of investors on something called semi-liquid private credit, higher yields, steady income and the promise you could get your money back every quarter if you needed it. What they buried in the fine print was what happens when too many people try to leave at the same time.
Analysts who have covered private credit for decades say nothing on this scale has ever been reported before at any major private credit manager.
These funds do not hold stocks you can sell on a Tuesday afternoon, they hold private loans to mid sized companies that cannot be liquidated quickly without destroying the price for every investor still trapped inside.

🇺🇸 President Trump wants to switch to war economy in 2027 with massive increase in military spending and massive cuts to healthcare and other domestic agencies
Once a deficit hawk — he said in 2016 that he thought he could balance the budget in five years — Trump ended his first term with $7.8 trillion in added debt. His 2027 proposal is expected to give an update on 10-year deficit projections currently estimated at around $16 trillion.
The GOP's message for the Midterms will be focused on the "need" for a massive defense build up while the Democrats' message will be focused on affordability.
The fiscal 2027 budget will be the first time Trump puts his second-term governing agenda into one comprehensive document — with the numbers to back it up. The budget he released last year lacked detailed line-by-line spending targets and the economic assumptions necessary to project the long-term cost of his proposals.
Investors in US Treasuries will be looking to see if the debt and ...
