Majakovsk has argued that the amount of diesel that the United States would buy or unlock from Russia would be insufficient to cover American needs and would mostly arrive just before or after the midterm elections. In his view, the initiative would primarily serve a propaganda function. He added that many estimates would consider Russian production capacity without accounting for the growth of domestic consumption. Before the war, he wrote, Russia produced 80-90 million tons of diesel per year, exported about half (40-45 Mt), and consumed 35-38 million internally. According to 2026 data cited by Majakovsk, production would have dropped to about 70-75 million tons, while domestic consumption would have risen to 48-55 million, also due to the needs of the war machine and logistics. Majakovsk stated that, during certain periods, including planting and harvesting or offensives, Moscow would be forced to temporarily suspend exports to meet domestic demand, relying on strategic reserves for the rest of the year. He then argued that a significant increase in Russian exports would not be sustainable and that overseas sales would be capped. Referring to Donald Trump's move, Majakovsk called it a worrying political signal, especially for the diplomatic and symbolic rupture it would represent; he added that the influx of new capital into the Russian war machine would remain marginal. #Ucraina #diesel #politica (translated)

A vote that Trump has already said on several occasions he will follow closely, aware of its great geopolitical value: Brazil is the eleventh largest economy in the world, has the highest GDP in the southern hemisphere, over 12% of the world’s freshwater reserves, and 23% of rare earths, strategic resources for energy transition and the high-tech industry. #ElezioniBrasiliane #Lula #Bolsonaro (translated)

“PUGLIA IN”: “ORTA NOVA SOUND LAB” CONQUISTA NEW YORK: LA “BANDA DI COMUNITA’ “APPRODA SU “BROADWAY WORLD” SOURCE: https://www.pugliain.net/303862-orta-nova-sound-lab-new-york-banda/ Lieto che il mio articolo inviato all’editor Chloe Rabinowitz sia stato accettato e pubblicato. Comunque, non stiamo parlando di un sito qualsiasi, ma de il più grande sito di teatro al mondo su internet, quello che copre Broadway, il West End e oltre, con oltre 6 milioni di visitatori al mese, presente in 100 città USA, 45 paesi e in 12 lingue nel mondo. _________________________________________________________________ ORTA NOVA (FG) — Il progetto sociale e musicale “Orta Nova Sound Lab” ha debuttato la scorsa settimana sul prestigioso portale statunitense BroadwayWorld, network internazionale dello spettacolo dal vivo con sede a New York. L’iniziativa, nata a Orta Nova nel cuore della Capitanata per creare una banda giovanile di comunità, è stata presentata oltreoceano come un modello innovativo di inclusione e rigenerazione urbana per il Mezzogiorno. Il modello pugliese di rigenerazione sociale attraverso la musica promosso dall’ “Associazione Nazionale Bande da Giro (ANBG)” presieduta da Benedetto Grillo e sostenuto dal Comune di Orta Nova, il laboratorio è stato ammesso a finanziamento dal Ministero della Cultura nell’ambito del bando per il potenziamento della musica nelle periferie e nelle aree vulnerabili. Il progetto si inserisce nel solco degli interventi di contrasto al disagio giovanile e alla povertà educativa previsti dallo spirito del “Decreto Caivano”. L’articolo pubblicato sulla testata americana porta la firma dell’editor newyorchese Chris Rabinowitz e dell’autore e ricercatore di Orta Nova Luciano Magaldi Sardella. Il testo illustra come la secolare tradizione bandistica pugliese sia stata reinterpretata quale strumento di prevenzione e coesione civica, grazie alla collaborazione tra l’associazione MAO FM 19.77, l’Istituto Olivetti, l’Istituto Pertini, Music Art e il C.I.S.A. di Foggia. Perché la Notizia è Diventata Internazionale Il progetto bandistico “Orta Nova Sound Lab” dimostra che quando un progetto ha radici antimafia, valenza pedagogica e una rete istituzionale credibile, la stampa risponde. Dalle testate locali e nazionali come Cassarmonica, Ansa Puglia, TGNorba, Corriere della Sera Bari, RaiNews TGR Puglia, La Gazzetta del Mezzogiorno, Amica9TV, Brindisi In, Puglia IN, Blasting News Italia, TRM Network, Secolo XIX, FoggiaToday, PlayNews24, Stato Quotidiano, e tanti altri, che hanno ben documentato la conferenza, si è arrivati a “Broadway World”, che ha letto l’esperienza ortese come “laboratorio sociale” capace di rispondere alla mafia con la musica. Questo salto di scala deriva dal lavoro congiunto anche al lavoro di raccordo svolto da Luciano Magaldi Sardella, che ha saputo tradurre per il pubblico anglofono insieme alla redattrice newyorchese Chris Rabinowitz il significato profondo di una banda di paese che in Puglia non è folklore, ma presidio civile, alternativa concreta alle dipendenze giovanili dagli schermi elettronici e alla disgregazione sociale. In un Sud spesso narrato solo per le sue emergenze, Orta Nova sceglie di farsi raccontare per la sua capacità di generare comunità. E questa volta, la notizia ha fatto il giro del mondo, partendo da una piazza del Basso Tavoliere. Le tappe del programma e i grandi concerti in Capitanata La programmazione, totalmente gratuita per i partecipanti, propone percorsi formativi per strumenti a fiato e percussioni affiancati da lezioni di musica d’insieme. Durante il mese di ottobre 2026, le vie di Orta Nova ospiteranno sfilate e parate bandistiche, mentre tra novembre e dicembre il territorio vedrà l’esibizione dei prestigiosi Gran Concerti Bandistici di Conversano e Bisceglie. Il cartellone riserverà uno spazio specifico alle pari opportunità con l’esibizione al femminile dell’Orchestra Note di Puglia. Il percorso culminerà a gennaio 2027 con il primo concerto ufficiale della neonata Banda di Comunità di Orta Nova, traguardo di un itinerario formativo che proietta il riscatto sociale della provincia di Foggia sulla scena culturale globale.

"Europe has agreed to release a significant amount of its diesel reserves," claimed Donald Trump after exerting strong pressure on European capitals, led by Paris and Berlin, to draw on their strategic oil reserves to address the surge in fuel prices driven by the war in the Middle East. #Energia #PrezziCarburante #G7 (translated)

"I just convened the G7 leaders on the global energy situation. We agreed to work in a coordinated manner to help reduce petroleum product prices, especially diesel. We decided to make production more flexible by maximizing our refineries' capacity, releasing up to 100 million barrels from our strategic reserves over 4 months, together with our partners and under the coordination of the IEA, and not to adopt any restrictive measures on energy product exchanges among partners." This was written in a message on X by French President Macron. #Energia #Petrolio #G7 (translated)

French President Emmanuel Macron has called an emergency G7 summit due to the conflict between the United States and Europe over diesel, triggered by Donald Trump's threats to block the export of American diesel and demand the release of European reserves. #Diesel #Trump #G7 (translated)

The peaceful Russia in 2027 will further increase military spending while cutting school, pensions, and healthcare. While we are abundant with pseudo-intellectual politicians and "openly biased" journalists shouting against war-mongering Europe, solely responsible for the war that, according to them, Russia has suffered rather than declared, Moscow shows its willingness to dialogue by increasing military spending by an additional 27% year on year. This is reported by Reuters, which has seen a draft of the budget that will be presented to the Duma in the coming days. Defense spending is expected to rise to 17.1 trillion rubles (202 billion dollars) compared to the 13.5 trillion planned for 2026, an impressive figure in itself but even more chilling when considering the gap between projected and actual investments. This year, despite forecasts, the final defense budget could come close to 18 trillion, and the count may even be partial, as some expenses are classified and others are included in other chapters. In contrast, funding for social policies, which includes items such as pensions, payments to war veterans, and maternity allowances, will decrease by 7% in 2027. Education funding will decrease by 6% and healthcare by 6.8%, compared to the initial plan. Spending allocated to the "national economy" section, which includes road construction and other infrastructure projects as well as subsidies for agriculture and other sectors, will be reduced by 7.4%. Significant increases in taxes and public utility rates are also expected. The drastic worsening of the financial situation in recent years has forced the Kremlin to drain its financial reserves, increase the deficit, and raise public debt, which in 2027 will continue to grow to 21.7% of GDP - according to Moscow's optimistic forecasts - surpassing the 20% threshold considered "safe" for economic and financial stability. Debt poses a systemic danger given the crazy interest rates the Russian central bank has had to impose to curb runaway inflation. Indeed, 9.4% of the 2027 budget will be spent on debt service, rising to 10.6% by 2029. When someone tells us that peace is not being made because "Europe has not yet appointed its representative for negotiations" or that "Zelensky has banned talks by decree," instead of saying that Russia has so far rejected all ceasefire and truce proposals, that it spends on weapons, in purchasing power terms, as much as our entire continent, and that it already teaches young generations to hate us and how to fight us, we know they are mainly trying to hide from us that to the east there are those who see us and treat us as an enemy and have dedicated their entire economy to our destruction instead of the well-being of their people.
