Ukraine’s former human rights commissioner has admitted she ‘overdid it’ with her allegations of sexual abuse by Russian troops against Ukrainians. Lyudmila Denisova said her goal was ‘convincing the world to provide weapons and put pressure on Russia’.

its long but well worth a listen...


This year's economic forum, which has been held in Russia's Northern Capital for the 25th time, is indeed special, given the challenges the world faces in 2022. The Russian president has addressed many of issues at hand while making the speech at SPIEF 2022.

YouTube has sparked controversy over an ad running on the platform. It suggests that American men take ‘what’s theirs’ – referring to Ukrainian women. And that’s while the platform wages its own battle by taking down tens of thousands of videos and channels related to the Ukrainian conflict for ‘violating content guidelines.’

^^^ "The sanctions war has failed. The entire financial might of the western world was unleashed against Russia. Today, the Rubel is stronger than before the war. This year, it has been the strongest of all currencies. Russian inflation peaked around 15%, and is expected to subside. But as their inflation tops out, Europe's and America's has just begun skyrocketing dangerously. Biden's attempt to strangle Russian trade has failed. Despite sanctions, Russia has forged stronger ties with China, India, South Africa, Iran, Brazil, Saudi Arabia. Important countries in the global south are refusing to obey Washington's order to impose sanctions. Independent countries fear the US, but they resent being told who they may and may not trade with. Dictating sanction policy to sovereign nations is diminishing the world's respect for America. From the outset of the war, Russians have never experienced shortages of food, housing, heating fuel, or gasoline."

Hmm, that shit sounds familiar.....oh that's right, I was warning aboot that stuff back in March and April... :nuuh: ...

Now that US has cut Russia off world banking, and stolen as much of their money as we can get our hands on in doing that...Russia is now defaulting on loans that were through that system, and working with China to get the new banking system going (something they had started well before the invasion).

Saudi Arabia is considering accepting Yuen over the Dollar for Petro. If this trends... it's pretty much over for the Dollar as the global reserve currency.
IF this trends?....it is already trending, has been for some time now...
Iran...sanctions and embargos
Iraq...Sadam is dead
Libya...Mu'ammar is dead
Venezuela...sanctions, embargos, and attempted coups
Syria...occupation of their oil fields
Russia...gee, wonder why they're the west's super villain

US uses the stick approach to maintain dominance...
...while China, as a producer of goods, uses the carrot approach.
Hmm, wonder which approach is more appealing to oil countries.

CrossTalking with Jim Rogers, Mitch Feierstein, and Pye Ian.
Good discussion...these guys have a firm grasp on what is happening economically.
Scary shit. :frown:

UN vote earlier this month:
141 For; 5 Against; 35 Abstain; 12 Absent ...so basically 141 to 52.
UN vote on Friday:
140 For; 5 Against; 38 Abstain; 10 Absent ...so basically 140 to 53.

Seems pretty solidified, and overwhelming...until you take populations into account.
Just looking at the top 10 highest populated countries, there are 5 on one side and 5 on the other...
United States, Indonesia, Brazil, Nigeria, Mexico...total population 1.051 billion.
China, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Russia...total population 3.351 billion.

But the population isn't necessarily the scary part...note the locations.
You got one side with two in North America, one in South America, one in Africa, and one in Asia...
...compared to the other side that has all five in Asia...all sharing borders.
Logistically speaking, much easier to run a central bank...especially if it's multi currency based, over a single currency base.

Russia learned from US wheat embargoes of the cold war...
...China's been stockpiling raw materials for decades...
...and they've both been amassing gold reserves as well.

Looking at all these things and applying them to that discussion...
...it is not out of the relm of reason, for them to snatch half of the world currency status virtually overnight.

If you think 7.25% inflation (17.5% by 1980's calculation standards) is bad...
...just wait until USD$ demand drops by half...
...after pumping out trillions and trillions in QE into the system over the last 15 years...
...and amassing a debt we can never pay off.

Fuk. :facepalm:

Do you have any idea what a significant drop in demand for USD will do?
This is the direction our leaders are pushing us. Already Joe "the buck stops here" Biden is telling us it's Putin's fault for the inflation...it's Putin's fault for the economy being in the shitter. Check your TDS at the door and consider this all very carefully...because as the petro dollar shifts, so too will the rest of the world markets...and that shift will affect all of us in a very personal way financially. The more pressure US applies, the more it pushes other countries away from using USD for trade. Basically it goes like this...
Less trade --> less demand --> too much currency in the markets --> inflation corrects that --> savings deteriorate --> you poor

Economically...
Russia has vast amounts of untapped resources...that they are certainly willing to extract and sell to any country with a demand. China is the biggest manufacturing contributor to climate change...they've already been switching from being a US provider to the European markets...they've been heavily investing in infrastructure to develop the whole of Africa...with eyes on South America next. And US is basically forcing these two into partnership...over this petty bullshit in Ukraine. US actions are loosening it's grip on the world economy. As China continues to gain the ways and means to advance their production, how do you think that will affect your precious environment? :whistle:

Russia is willing to sell them all the oil they want....for rubles.

While you tow the CIA line, whining aboot "war crimes" and such, you completely overlook the real danger of what's going on. I tried to point this out to you earlier. This is not aboot Ukraine...US does not give a fuk aboot them. This is aboot US grasp on world economics, something that is slipping away. US gives your $$$ to MIC to supply a war torn country that will not be able to pay for it...while Russia, along with a slew of other countries, continues to take more and more of the petrodollar market. The longer this war goes on, the longer the accelerated loss of US control continues. As the bigger countries increase and solidify their positions in the petrodollar market, it gives smaller countries an alternative...bye-bye monopoly for US. And it dominos from there.

You are essentially advocating to borrow money, that your descendants will have to pay back, to perform an action that will greatly inhibit their ability to do so.

In just the past couple years, I've seen gas prices increase 100%, food and clothing prices increase 40%...
...I wonder how things are for an average Joe in Russia?...
...certainly if things are that bad here, these sanctions must just be crushing those poor fukkers over there...



...or not. :dunno:

Do you see the difference in trend/direction?
But I guess, Putin bad! So we have to crush him, no matter the cost. Even if that means our economic and financial demise.
What a fukking blunder. :facepalm:

Russia’s Ukraine Miscalculation

Russia’s Ukraine miscalculation dates to 2014 when the Kremlin refused the request of the Donbass Russians in Eastern Ukraine to be reunited with Russia. Historically part of Russia, the Donbass region was attached to the Ukrainian province of the Soviet Union by Soviet leaders as was Crimea. These Russian populated territories, historically part of Russia, rejected the anti-Russian rule installed in Kiev when Washington overthrew the Ukrainian government and installed a puppet regime in 2014. Had the Kremlin accepted the request of the Donbass Russians, there would have been no necessity for a Russian intervention in Donbass.

Ukraine sent forces to subdue the two declared republics of Donetsk and Luhansk. The Ukrainian military and Nazi militias were unequal to the task of subduing the hastily raised militias of the two republics, but did succeed in occupying some of the Donbass territory from which they shelled the civilian populations of the Donbass for 8 years.

The Kremlin attempted to stop the conflict with the Minsk agreement. Ukraine and the republics signed it, and Europe was supposed to enforce it, but Ukraine did not keep the agreement, and Europe did not enforce it. Indeed, Washington encouraged Ukraine to ignore it as Washington saw the opportunity to initiate a conflict that could be used to demonize and isolate Russia.

Internally in Russia, Russians objected to the killing of Russians by Ukrainians. Pressure mounted on the Kremlin to cease appeasing the West by accepting Russian civilian casualties. In February of this year, the Kremlin finally gave up on the 8-year old death of the Minsk Agreement and recognized the two republics.

If the West had not intended a conflict, Russian recognition would have stopped the shelling, and ended the conflict. Instead a 150,000 Ukrainian army and Nazi militias, trained and equipped by Washington and the UK, were sent to invade and reconquer the Donbass Russians. For the Kremlin, this would have been a political disaster. Washington, of course, knew this and was banking on yet another Russian toleration of an enormous provocation, that having been the Kremlin’s record of response to Washington’s provocations: accept, forgive, and put faith in negotiations.

However, the Kremlin realized that it could not politically survive the slaughter of the Donbass Russians.

The Kremlin designated its military intervention in Ukraine as a limited operation to prevent Ukraine from invading Donbass and to drive out the Ukrainian forces that occupied part of Donbass and were shelling civilian populations. Donbass, not Ukraine was the target.

Western politicians and the mainstream media pretend that Russia invaded Ukraine, not merely intervened in Donbass, and attacked Kiev but was defeated. This is an obvious lie. The Russians left Kiev alone. They put troops around the city to prevent reinforcements from being sent to Donbass. Once they had Ukraine’s forces in Donbass surrounded, such that reinforcements could not reach them in any meaningful numbers, they withdrew from the Kiev area.

The Western politicians and the whore Western media have lied when they say Russia invaded Ukraine. Russia did not invade Ukraine, and this was their blunder. The Russians intervened in Eastern Ukraine, in Donbass, to prevent a Ukrainian invasion for the reconquest of the two Donbass republics.

What the facts reveal is not Russian aggression, but Western aggression. The Minsk Agreement that Russia sponsored would have ended the conflict by keeping the Donbass as part of Ukraine, but giving Donbass some autonomy, such as its own police force, to minimize Donbass’ oppression under the anti-Russian regime installed by Washington. The agreement was unenforceable because Washington wanted conflict.

The war that is coming upon us is a consequence of Washington’s insistence on hegemony and the Kremlin’s inability to comprehend the situation and to understand how the Kremlin’s endless toleration of insults and provocations encourages the West to push harder and ever harder until Russia is cornered and finally has to fight.
