Netanyahu in Moscow for Victory Day: why did Putin invite him?
News of the recent attendance of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at Moscow’s 9th May Victory Day Parade provoked a predictable range of reactions ranging from anger, dismay, denial and – on the part of some of the US’s and Israel’s friends – even a certain amount of gloating.
For an example of the latter, see for example these words by the British historian Niall Ferguson in a lengthy article hailing Donald Trump’s supposed masterstroke in pulling out of the JCPOA. -

The Remarkable Fall in China’s Suicide Rate
As more Chinese have left farms in the countryside to work in factory cities, the suicide rate has plummeted. This may be shocking to many people in rich countries. That is because many people who enjoy post-industrial prosperity worry about “sweatshop” conditions and exploitation in factories. They may also have an idealized opinion of rural peasant life, while a dark view of factory life popularized by Karl Marx is still surprisingly popular.

IMF Warning of Global Inflation: Money Losing Value. Expert Says ‘US Will Be Hit First’
The IMF issued a report about inflation that warned of devaluation and drastic price increases. Dimitri Speck, a financial analyst in Munich, says that the world has never had such a high debt as now that it cannot be paid off through payments, but through inflation or taking people's private savings. He further stated that the US will be hit first, as it is the world's leading currency. He said that inflation is used to wage wars, stimulate the economy in the short run, and to prevent banking crises.
