Mūsu galvenais stratēģiskais partneris arī labi ilustrē ideju par tirdzniecības attiecībām ar kaimiņiem, bet ne tikai. Tāpat par biznesa intersēm/vajadzībām, kas stāv pāri visam citam, kopumā.

Talking to someone in a company where whole divisions are being axed because of AI. Not because AI can do their jobs, but because the company needs to drastically cut the salary bill to pay for AI.

Maybe the most amazing aspect of the Russo-Ukraine War is that Russia is getting backing from both China and the USA, the two largest powers of the moment--and Ukraine could still emerge triumphant as long as Europe backs it stoutly.

That little Russian diesel, if exists at all, will not do much for Trump in the mid term elections but the money going to Russia will help killing sleeping families and children with Russian missiles and drones. Appaling.

Nothing surprising after what Trump just did. Talks between the US, Ukraine, European countries, and NATO in Miami ended earlier than planned. There won’t even be a second day. Apparently, ending russia’s war against Ukraine is becoming less important than doing business with the aggressor.

Trump cut a diesel deal with Putin after Zelensky ignored at least six US demands to stop hitting Russian refineries. The Axios report cites an American official. Trump wanted the strikes stopped because fuel prices were rising in America.
