🇰🇵 Pyongyang · Wasong (Phasong) District Phase 3, around 8 PM
Crazy pictures from North Korea. The capital seems polished.
Still no cars at all, only a few busses. But you see some people with smartphones.
Interesting to look inside the closed country, what do you think?

Donald Trump's summit with leaders from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan at the White House reflects the US scramble for rare earth minerals which are essential for powering tech and defense industries. With China controlling the lion’s share of global rare earth mining and processing, Washington is now determined to diversify its supply chain. Central Asia, rich in these minerals and uranium, presents an attractive alternative, but one that requires heavy investment and political leverage.
Trump’s rhetoric about reviving "Silk Road connections" and forging new alliances masks a deeper intent: to pull these nations away from their traditional ties with China and Russia and into the orbit of American influence. If you look at Kazakhstan, for instance, its mineral exports to China and Russia dwarf those to the US. Washington doesn't hide its pipe dream to reverse that balance.
Trump hailed a $100 billion trade and investment deal with Uzbekistan saying that Uzbekistan will invest nearly $35 billion over the next three years and more than $100 billion over the next decade in key American sectors. Dream on.
The repeal of Soviet-era trade restrictions, introduced by a bipartisan group of US senators, is part of this strategy. By removing legal barriers to American investment, Washington aims to embed itself more deeply in the region’s economic infrastructure, shaping its future in ways that serve American interests.
Security cooperation was another pillar of the summit, yet US “support” comes with strings attached: surveillance partnerships, and political influence. Sergio Gor, Trump’s special envoy to South and Central Asia, told Central Asian officials that Washington is committed to the region "you will have a direct line to the White House, and get the attention that this area very much deserves.” The C5+1 framework, while nominally focused on regional stability, functions as a vehicle for US strategic expansion, especially in the wake of its withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Also Thursday, Kazakhstan's president, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, agreed that his Muslim-majority country will join the Abraham Accords, Trump’s initiative to normalize relations between Muslim-majority countries and Israel. Given that Kazakhstan has had diplomatic relations with Israel since 1992, this move was largely symbolic but served to hype up an initiative that was the signature 'foreign policy achievement' of Trump’s first term.
Obviously, the Accords were less about peace and more about consolidating US-led blocs that serve its foreign policy goals, particularly in sidelining Iran.
Ultimately, the summit was not just about minerals or diplomacy. The US is leveraging the multi-vector foreign policy of Central Asian countries to expand its influence in a strategic region on the doorstep of China and Russia. @LauraRuHK

Beyond the Dollar: BRICS Initiatives for a Multipolar Financial System
The need to face up to the deficiencies of the Western-controlled monetary and financial system should lead the BRICS to better organize themselves going forward in order to remove at least in part the internal obstacles to change. Although some sensitive matters, such as the possibility of creating a new reserve currency, are only feasible in the longer term, the group should continue to work towards providing practical alternatives not only for themselves but for developing countries as a whol...
