🇺🇸🇷🇺🇨🇳⚡️- Russia's attempt to replace the US dollar with China's yuan in international trade has largely collapsed under pressure from American secondary sanctions, according to Bloomberg. The yuan's share of payments for Russian exports has fallen by half from its 2024 peak to just 22%, despite growing trade between Moscow and Beijing. Chinese banks, fearing American sanctions, have increasingly refused or delayed Russian transactions, which forces businesses to rely on intermediaries and alternative currencies. Russia now receives 69% of its export revenue from Asian countries in rubles. The reversal shows the enormous reach of American financial power and the limitations of China's efforts to establish the yuan as an international alternative to the dollar.

🕊- 108 years ago, on the 11th day of the 11th month at the 11th hour, Europe's cannons were finally laid to rest for a brief moment after four years of total warfare. More than a dozen million Europeans, brothers and cousins, sons and fathers, died in the name of their republics, kingdoms and empires alike. Pope Benedict XV accurately described the slaughter that was World War I as the collective suicide of civilized Europe, oblivious to the sad reality that this conflict was merely the first act of a much greater disaster. Rerum Novarum offers prayers to the souls of the fallen.

🇺🇸🇨🇳⚡️- Republican Senator and member of the Senate Banking Committee Kevin Cramer is calling for Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang to step down immediately. "The potential for extortion is so tremendous that something as sensitive as Nvidia chips, I just ​think he's got to go.

And ​to me, that's a security risk.”

🇺🇸🇨🇳🇮🇱⚡️ - A major investigation by The Midas Project has uncovered a network of more than 400 apparently fake social media accounts that spent the past year publishing thousands of posts defending Nvidia and CEO Jensen Huang, promoting the sale of advanced American AI chips to China, and attacking US lawmakers and national security experts who supported export restrictions. When revelations emerged that Huang had been targeted by a Chinese intelligence operative, dozens of these accounts immediately began defending him, posting nearly identical arguments intended to discredit the reporting. The network also systematically targeted Huang's critics across both political parties, including members of Congress, while promoting his position on semiconductor exports to China. Investigators traced the network to Koios, an Israeli influence firm previously implicated in a covert pro-Qatar campaign involving two advisers to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Although Koios claims to have shut down in September 2025, researchers uncovered substantial connections to a successor company called IntelliACT, which reportedly shares personnel and continues similar operations. The same network has also promoted Sudan's Rapid Support Forces, which the United States has accused of committing genocide. Nvidia denies any involvement, and the identity of whoever financed the campaign remains unknown. Huang has spent years pushing for greater access to China's semiconductor market, even as American officials warn about the enormous national security consequences of transferring advanced AI technology to Beijing. Now an apparent foreign influence operation has been discovered defending him, attacking his critics, and attempting to manipulate the American debate over semiconductor exports. The timing and scale of this operation raise serious questions that deserve a thorough congressional investigation, particularly given Nvidia's extraordinary strategic importance to the United States.
