Το post-game της συνάντησης των μη δυτικών ηγετών που πραγματοποιήθηκε αυτή την εβδομάδα κοντά στο Πεκίνο είναι έτοιμo. Το θέαμα με τον Σι Τζινπίνγκ της Κίνας, τον Ναρέντρα Μόντι της Ινδίας και τον Βλαντιμίρ Πούτιν της Ρωσίας να κρατιούνται χέρι-χέρι, να αγκαλιάζονται και να κάνουν βόλτες κρίθηκε από κάποιους ως το σημάδι μιας μετασχηματιστικής αλλαγής στις παγκόσμιες συμμαχίες και, από άλλους, ως θέατρο. Ίσως όμως να χάνουν το νόημα. Θα έπρεπε να κρίνουμε την επίδειξη δύναμης του Σι από την ικανότητά του να έρχεται σε αντίθεση με το χάος και την αδυναμία των ανταγωνιστών του στις ΗΠΑ και την Ευρώπη.

The valuation of NVIDIA  has become a focal point of debate in 2025, as its market capitalization oscillates between euphoric optimism and cautious skepticism. While the company’s dominance in artificial intelligence (AI) and data center computing has driven record revenues—$88 billion in FY2025 and a projected $111.3 billion for 2025—its current stock price of $171.505 exceeds the estimated intrinsic value of $125.985 by 27%. This disconnect between fundamentals and market psychology raises critical questions about sustainability, particularly for contrarian investors seeking to navigate the interplay of short-term volatility and long-term potential.

French politics are so paralyzed that the resignation of President Emmanuel Macron — an idea once only whispered in the corridors of power — is now being openly debated.

President Donald Trump on Sunday said his tariffs, most of which an appellate court ruled illegal, have brought in “trillions of dollars”—which matches estimates from some economists for revenues his levies could generate, but over the next decade, not so far this year.

Wednesday night brought a grim return to Russia’s form: one of the heaviest air raids on Kyiv since the full-scale invasion began. Moscow eased off its strikes on major cities in the run-up to the Alaska summit, and it held off its attack on the Ukrainian capital until Keith Kellogg, the US special envoy, had finished his visit there. But within hours of his departure, at least 18 people, including several children, were dead in an attack on a residential block, and the European Union mission had been severely damaged.

Will we have a heated autumn of debate in Germany due to the deep reform of the welfare state? The Chancellor's statement on the German welfare state brings reactions.

France is stuck in economic limbo, without a budget and soon, possibly, without a government. The prime minister, François Bayrou, has called for parliament to hold a confidence vote on 8 September and, now that parties of the left and far right have pledged to bring down the government, on paper he doesn’t have the numbers to win.
