In order to compare the relative performances, I've chosen a pre-pandemic basis, which is 31/12/2019 closing values.

As Nasdaq, S&P500 and DJI are denominated in US dollars, but the others not, returns are misleading.

3) I have adjusted the data, and now all are denominated in US dollars.

#BIST returns are still amazing with its 30.4%, but not striking as above. Besides it is positive only after Sep'22. #Nasdaq is leading with 36.2% return. #Nikkei225 is the only index below pandemic level.

"No Hindi, no Hindu, no Hindustan" | This is the Khalistani gurudwara in Sacramento where two people were shot

This is what Khalistani militants are preaching inside the Sacramento gurdwara where two Sikhs fired bullets on each other on Sunday.

#Khalistan ideology only bring #violence, #crime and #hate into the society | They are teaching young #Sikh #children to eliminate #Hindi, #Hindu and #Hindustan (#India).

Dangerous indoctrination of impressionable minds.

🚨Breaking🚨

Proof that extremist #Khalistani ideology has infiltrared #Gurdwara #Sacramento #Sikh Society, where at least two people were shot

Khalistani flags everywhere & imagery of radical Amritpal Singh is hung on the walls of the Gurdwara

Day 398 of #Russia's full war on #Ukraine + this is the start of the daily thread for Tuesday.

Already today another drone attack by the aggressor - details coming up, plus all the rest of the news as it unfolds throughout the day.

Yesterday's 🧵is here:

https://twitter.com/TWMCLtd/status/1640141491828817922

1/2

So first let's get to the drone attack. #Ukraine has shot down 13 UAVs which mostly attacked #Kyiv.

#Russia released 12 of the Iran kamikaze Shahids and one reconnaissance drone.

There were explosions in the capital but there are no injuries.

2/2

In #Kyiv a three-storey building was hit during #Russia's attack. It's possible it was struck by downed drones; fires started in two places.

This is in the Svyatoshyn district of #Ukraine's capital.

Distract and divert: How Tony Blair screens his role in Iraq War

20 years on, #Blair lashes out at #Putin to divert public attention from the atrocities he was behind in #Iraq, not to mention his role in the #Afghanistan war.

This month, twenty years ago, the #UnitedStates initiated a large military invasion of #Iraq alongside its ally, the #UK, without a @UN mandate and in defiance of some of the biggest demonstrations ever seen in Britain.

It was the start of an eight-year occupation that resulted in the deaths of more than one million Iraqi.

Rishi Sunak and French President Emmanuel #Macron have now agreed to strengthen the military ties between their countries and step up efforts to prevent migrants from crossing the English Channel, at a summit that gave a sign of a thaw in relations after years of deadlock.

How ISLAMIZATION occurs when
there are sufficient MUSLIMS in a country.... #Thread

When culturally diverse societies agree to 'the reasonable'
Muslim demands for their 'religious rights,' they also get the other components under
the table. Here's how it works...👇🏻👇🏻

📍 As long as the Muslim population remains around 1% of any given country they will
be regarded as a peace-loving minority and not as a threat to anyone.

(#UnitedStates --1.0%; #Australia --1.5%; #Canada --1.9%; #China --1%-2%; #Italy --1.5%;
#Norway --1.8%)

📍 At 2% and 3% Muslims begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected
groups with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs.

(#Denmark --2%;
#Germany --3.7%; #UnitedKingdom --2.7%; #Spain --4%; #Thailand --4.6%)

Science. Surveillance. Responsibility.

Three words that encapsulate my three main messages to the @WHO European Region today, amid the latest developments in the #COVID19 narrative.

@hans_kluge

First, going with the #science.

From the information available to @WHO, the SARS-CoV-2 virus variants circulating in #China are those that have already been seen in Europe and elsewhere.

Depher cic uk - James 🫂 Anderson

@Depheruk

Today, @RishiSunak @Conservatives, we at @Depheruk have had 100s requests for #food #gas #electric from families, elderly, vulnerable, and disabled people, from around the #UK

Tonight, I am starting to order 100s of food orders from @asda, a long night ahead!!

Our days are long, and we work 7 days a week without fail.
Our commitment to everyone in this country is beyond question.

Regardless if it was @labour
@Conservatives @LibDems @TheGreenParty or independent in @10DowningStreet, we would do the exact same.

In 6 years, we have supported over 1 million people, and that number grows daily, 7 days a week.

The support we get from the #public and #Celebrities like @HackedOffHugh @sammeegiles @anne_hegerty and many more is humbling beyond words.

I personally thank you all from my heart
