Source: XinhuaEditor: huaxia2025-05-01 14:09:15

WELLINGTON, May 1 (Xinhua) -- Severe weather has hit New Zealand on Thursday with a State of Emergency declared in part of the country.

In the South Island, heavy rain has already caused flooding and people have been evacuated from their homes.

Emergency Management and Recovery Minister Mark Mitchell announced that Christchurch has entered into a state of emergency at Thursday afternoon's press conference.

Minerals deal, which is now being called an investment fund

Curious to read the full deal, but if you go by what FT and Politico are reporting (and what Ukraine officials are saying today), Trump WH made many concessions and Zelensky got most of what he asked, except for the big US security guarantee. It looks like Trump will now be sending money and weapons to Ukraine. A win for Z and the MIC.

👉Keep in mind this is going off what MSM and Ukraine officials are saying. We need to wait for the deal to be published and curious to see Kremlin reaction.

Three big Trump concessions:
Via FT: The fund “will be jointly managed” with neither side holding a dominant role, a concession Kyiv persuaded Washington to make after it had originally demanded sweeping control over Ukraine’s natural resources.

Via FT: The agreement includes no provisions on any Ukrainian debt obligations to the US.

Via Politico: The U.S. will contribute to the fund through direct payments or through new military assistance, according to the outline.

Michael Hudson says the "rare minerals deal" is not about rare minerals nor even about other natural resources. It's about the US protecting its investment in Ukraine by brigning in missiles and continuing the war.

A quick commentary on the "Piss Summit"
I might not be able to upload much more or do lives for a while

My Fellow Duranianss.

Yes, it's happened again. I have been assaulted by a vicious Malware Bot Virus or whatever 911 Socks is and this thing is bad ! 

However I wanted to give you a "peace" of my mind concerning the "Piece" or piss, as Elensky calls it, as this thing fell to pieces before it even happened.

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 !!!

 

Hope to see you all asap.
