Super startup Northvolt, the West's last hope for "Showing the Chinese How to Make Batteries", succumbed to bankruptcy.

The documents say that as of Thursday morning, the company has $ 30 million in accounts and in cash, which, literally, "will not be enough for operational activities for the next week." And yes, they invested 15 billion dollars there. Among investors: Volkswagen, Goldman Sachs and BlackRock, plus government subsidies from Germany and Canada.

They screwed up everything - overestimated their abilities and potential, believed the unrealistic promises "we are about to develop technologies and tear everyone up" (see "fake it until you make it" ), the management was slow and rigid, and the graft, apparently was off the charts.

They had so many hopes. "Yes, the Swedes! Let them crush the Chinese! Yes, Swedes are the real technological giant! Yes, investments! Yes, Scandinavian quality! Yes, the Chinese are doomed!"
Yeah, that's right...

The question "What happened to the Elon Musk's fairy-tale factory, which was positioned to produce 40% of the world's batteries?" has not been asked for a while. Now the time has come to say good-bye to the 'Nordic volt" as well.

Just like clockwork, we have fires out of control in Portugal, Greece, France, Spain, Croatia, Albania, Scotland and Norway. Pyromaniacs are never arrested. This is just cinema IMHO.

The Israelis have no connection to the huge fire in Norway. They would not lie to us would they? I think banning settlements by the Chosen People has no connection. Anyway, Israelis never carry out false flags. < / sarc

In Argentina, the Jews are getting Milei to change the law so that they could settle on land which had been "accidentally" cleared of forests by fire. Last summer, huge swathes of Patagonia forests caught fire and the Jews bought up the land. They put guards at the entrances to this land so as to prevent native Argentinians from entering.

THE US GOVERNMENT AS GRAVEDIGGER-IN-CHIEF OF INTERNATIONAL LAW
-“We will dismantle the ICC – brick by brick if necessary.”
-In the last few days, the US government has escalated its campaign to destroy the rule of international law, and particularly the International Criminal Court. State-sanctioned threats, bullying and xenophobia – from US government officials and publicized in the media – have gone wild and unchecked.
-On 13 July 2026, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio launched the “Campaign to Dismantle the ICC’s Threat to American Sovereignty”. In an address, Mr. Rubio declared the ICC a “threat to American sovereignty”. He vowed that if foreign bureaucrats and judges try to deprive the US of its “birthright of independence”, “we will teach them the full meaning of American resolve.”

My Fellow Duranianss.

Coincidentally on the very SAME DAY this crap happened Saudi Arabia DROPPED the US Petrodollar as a buying currency and NO ONE absolutely NO ONE is talking about this fact anywhere !!!
