It is very disheartening that Russia is now using starvation as a weapon of war. I am not surprise because they used the same food blockage in Syria and many of opposition strongholds starved to death. The capturing of the Port of Odesa and other key ports was a calculated and planned war strategy to starve the world of agricultural products thereby forcing the West and it's partners to review sanctions imposed on them. This blockade has stopped almost a hundred foreign vessels shipping agricultural produce through the Black Sea from sailing. One of the greatest challenge NATO and its allies is facing is that Russian still has strong sympathisers that are willing to be used as instruments to make these Russian strategies work perfectly.
Ukraine mined the exits from the port, fearing a Russian landing on Odessa. And now Russia is to blame for the fact that Ukraine cannot export 20 million tons of grain to Europe, which will cause famine in Ukraine itself, because this year's sowing campaign is actually disrupted. Logically. |

Ципсошники опять свалили отсюда куда-то, в яндексе всякая бытовуха на первые строчки поднялась. Готовят опять нам какое-то дерьмо...
На Азовстали зрада хуле, массовая капитуляция киборгов в плен - это для Киева единственный расклад, который никак не конвертируется в перемогу. |

The root cause of increase in inflation worldwide is sudden and unprecedented increase in crude oil and food prices triggered by Ukraine war which could have been prevented if Biden had negotiated with Putin and addressed his security concerns about NATO. Unfortunately war has already started and it won't end unless one side is defeated which will not happen so soon.
Inflation is an excessive increase in the money supply. The root cause of the rise in prices in the US was the irresponsible policy of the Fed during the covid-19 pandemic. |

There is no viable alternative to the Russian gas. It is outright stupid to believe that pipeline gas can be replaced with LNG. To start with, neither the EU has that many LNG terminals, nor that much spare capacity exists among the LNG producers. And it is ironical that the same people who have shut down the nuclear power plants, there by increasing the dependence on the Russian gas are now pushing ahead with their plans for a total embargo on Russian energy exports. I don't understand what is going through the mind of these EU idiots. Their stupid sanctions have hurt them more than anyone else.
The only reason why EU is doing that because if ukarine falls then Russia is sitting very next to Poland and can directly attack to EU countries now. Due to this fear EU are willing to give up Russian pipeline gas and moving to super expensive LNG. These are just my few satoshis. Do not be silly, the only reason for such suicidal behavior of Europe in general and Germany in particular is that Europe is not politically independent and Biden's hand is up to the elbow in Scholz's ass. All of Europe to Portugal is shot through with Caliber from the Caspian Sea. Not to mention Kaliningrad and Belarus. ps From today, Finland is in the club, gas supplies from Russia have been stopped. |

I don't see any consensus in the West on this issue. For example, according to the editorial opinion of the New York Times, a decisive Ukrainian military victory over Russia, in which Ukraine will regain all the territory captured by Russia since 2014, is not realistic. Gas for rubles...oil for rubles... wheat for rubles... I think I'm seeing a pattern here. Wonder how a guy could get a hold of some rubles? Oh hey, I know! https://currency.com/btc-to-rubWow, in looking at that chart it's showing pretty good performance for the big RUB over the last month! Maybe because the last of the Rooskies has not quite yet been chased back across the border even though that event was just days away several months ago according to official Ukrainian sources. Are the Russians also winning on the economic front? Hell, when you earn in BTC and spend in rubles, it's not so noticeable. This sword is double-edged, unfortunately or fortunately. |

The effect of the sanctions on Russia has started hitting its economy hard. The Russian ruble has lost 30% of its value trading at 100 to the dollar.
It seems that the Central Bank of Russia is no longer happy with the excessive strengthening of the ruble, and a whole series of weakening measures has not yet led to the desired result. The image effect of a strong ruble is good, but for an economy with a large trade surplus, this is not very beneficial. This afternoon, the dollar was traded on the Moscow Currency Exchange for 58 rubles, and it is not clear who and why is buying it at all, because the sanctions risks are very high. What would happen if the Bank made one ruble equal to 1 gram of gold? I mean, all these European fuel companies buy Russian gas and paying in Rubles.  The gold standard is not a good idea because the price of gold is largely determined by non-market mechanisms. It seems like a better idea - an energy standard, because money is a kind of equivalent to life force. |

What are you?! There is no alternative? Seriously !? Seriously, don't laugh!  Tip - google for the phrase "countries of oil suppliers" and then "countries of gas suppliers", you will be very surprised, believe me! Regarding the "horror story" - if Russia stops selling oil and gas. I will now give an example, it will be a little rough, but it will convey the situation very accurately. Russia that will stop selling gas and oil = a person whose rectum and ureter were sealed How long do you think a person will live like this? So Russia will rot from the inside. For information - Russia does not have enough oil and gas storage facilities. The way out is either stupidly burning what was produced, essentially burning money, or mothballing active fields and losing the volume of oil / gas produced. Yes, the most important thing is to lose it for a very long time, because. without Western technologies, Russia will not be able to reactivate the deposits, because even in this critical industry, russia is technologically backward and has always used western technology to explore and extract these resources. The winter is coming.  Europe is in deep shit. She was unable to agree on the sixth package of sanctions and received an internal split. The packages with sanctions are over, there is nothing more to put pressure on Russia. And Europe has nothing to pay for the supplied gas, euros are immediately converted into rubles on the stock exchange and the euro exchange rate is already flying to hell. Russia no longer needs either dollars or euros - what to buy with them if there are sanctions everywhere? Burn your euros and warm yourself with them, and also eat them and fertilize the earth. This is a fiasco. |

According to yet unconfirmed reports, Svyatoslav Palamar (callsign Kalina) also surrendered.
Nope, he didn't surrender, he is still in Azovstal and made short video: https://t.me/uniannet/55727Rumor has it that this video was pre-recorded. It seems that the story of Azov has ended ingloriously, there is information from the Russian military correspondent that today Denis Prokopenko (call sign Radis) and his assistant Volyna surrendered. The biggest bewilderment of military correspondents is that the Azov people are captured quite vigorous, fresh and neatly trimmed, with bags of provisions. And that there are much more prisoners than the DPR fighters who received them and blocked them at Azovstal. ps Musical pause. |

You see those two names there? It's Ural and Espo oil, not Wti and Brent. And guess what the price for Ural is? 76.99, what's the price for Espo? 74.57, expanding the charts and going 9$ lower means Russia is selling right now the cheapest oil since 2017 (excluding the april covid scare). But of course, it's good news! It's a world-class master chess move! Russia's budget for 2022 was drawn up based on the price of Ural oil of $44 per barrel, with the dollar exchange rate of 72 rubles. Even taking into account the discount and the significantly strengthened ruble, Russia is now receiving super profits from the oil trade. Looks like Russia will be Chinas bitch before the year is out.
The way things look, that's the only thing he can still hope, the end point seems to be eunuch slave. Europe has never lived as badly as under Putin. |

There are quite a few streets named after Stalin in Russia, half as many as Bandera streets in Ukraine (and almost all of them are concentrated in the Caucasus). There are also three Stalin streets in India, two in the UK, one street and Stalin Park in China, one street in France. You can have different attitudes towards Stalin, but it was he who led the USSR during the trip over Nazi Germany and the scale of his personality was much wider than that of Bandera. At the same time, mass demonstrations for the glory of Stalin are not held in Russia.
You're missing the point, comrade, just like your compatriot a few posts above. It's not up to me (or you, or your trollfarm, or Putin) to decide how Ukrainians (or Russians) should name their streets, let alone to invade sovereign countries on such flimsy premises. So perhaps you shouldn't start throwing swastika-shaped rocks out of your glass outhouse. Tell that to Australia, which sees China's military presence in the Solomon Islands, 1,500 kilometers from its borders, as an existential threat to its security. The problem is not that Ukraine considers Bandera and Shushkevich national heroes, the problem is that crowds of people chant "Kill the Russian" at the Bandera marches. Somehow I don't hear the cries of "Death to Ukraine" or something like that. |

By the way, you did not answer my question like that - and what happened from your forecasts about May 15-20, from the area of the "new cycle of calculations"? Have there been new payers in rubles? Again you are in too much of a hurry, there is a deadline for payment and there is a standard five-day grace period. We can definitely say that Europe as a whole is now not in a position to refuse Russian gas, so all Putin's demands will be met. It seems only Finland is ready to join Bulgaria and Poland, all other countries will pay. |

Sure, some of the Nazis have survived and organized themselves in small, rather unimportant groups since end of WW2, but Putin is Hitler 2.0.
In Kyiv, every year on January 1, the traditional Bandera torch march takes place, this year more than 3.5 thousand people took part in the procession under the protection of 2.5 thousand policemen. Stalin streets in Russia - nah, I just don't condone it.

As of Azov: Simple choice: Surrender and get killed in the process or starve to death and let your president look like a robot? Which one seems more honorable to you? Your nickname, though...  And where, for example, is the option to go on an assault and die in battle, trying to take as many enemies as possible with you? Isn't this the honor of an ideological warrior? Or at least put a bullet in the forehead to save the officer's honor from disgrace? Azov are weaklings, ordinary terrorists, unable to live with dignity or die with honor - this is my personal opinion, since you are clearly interested in it. |

Again, all this is good for short distance. UKR is now getting proper siege artillery, the modern ones that are accurate, fast firing and come with a range of ammo for various situations. We have already seen footage and my guess is we are going to see much more.
You are great for not losing heart. Meanwhile, 700 people left Azovstal during the day, and the total number of those who surrendered exceeded 900 people. I think the next tactical boiler will be near Avdeevka or near Lisichansk-Severodonetsk. Here and there, under the threat of encirclement of the APU grouping of about 15,000 soldiers, with Zelensky's order to stand to the death. Loosing heart? The morale and conviction of Ukraine is 100x the Russ. It has taken your glorious Psychos in Chief months to defeat a regiment even under continuous shelling and siege. Is that how you intent to play this war?Why not? Meanwhile, another 785 Azov fighters and soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine surrendered at Azovstal yesterday evening, in total, more than 1,500 people have been "evacuated" since the beginning of the week. According to yet unconfirmed reports, Svyatoslav Palamar (callsign Kalina) also surrendered. |

Therefore, who is the aggressor here is an interesting question.
Russia is the aggressor, made up "Casus Belli" notwithstanding. Russia has been accumulating its military around Ukraine and planning the invasion for a long time before the alleged attacks so that bullshit doesn't really fly anywhere outside of Russian state TV. You keep trying to earn a couple satoshis by quoting me, well. January 5-9, 2022 38 explosions on the territory of the DPR, 152 ceasefire violations, 213 explosions on the territory of the LPR, 791 ceasefire violations // Report No. 4/2022, OSCEJanuary 11, 2022 7 explosions in the territory of the DPR, 133 violations of the ceasefire, 2 explosions in the territory of the LPR, 5 violations of the ceasefire // Report No. 5/2022, OSCEJanuary 12, 2022 26 explosions on the territory of the DPR, 197 ceasefire violations; 20 explosions on the territory of the LPR, 105 ceasefire violations // Report No. 6/2022, OSCEJanuary 13, 2022 94 explosions on the territory of the DPR, 187 ceasefire violations; 95 explosions on the territory of the LPR, 148 ceasefire violations // Report No. 7/2022, OSCEAnd more, and more, and more. So shut up and fuck off (or shoot commercial signature if you want to talk to me here). |

Everyone will be wondering why 1.5% of the world economy affects the whole world? Or can you answer this question yourself? Why are the US and Europe blaming a country with such a small GDP and a tattered economy for skyrocketing prices and the threat of a global food crisis? |

Well, what does Russia, as an aggressor, have to say? Lies, total and most stupid - this is one of the pillars of the "Russian world". Let me explain very simply with an example. Bucha, Irpin, Gostomel - were captured by Russian troops in the first weeks of the war. They themselves officially reported this in the media. The troops of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, defended the approaches to Kyiv. Since the capture of these cities, photo and video recordings, by the local population, of the crimes of the Nazis from Russia have already been collected there. These materials are easy to find on the web, date-stamped, geo-tagged. I was in Irpen, on the 2nd day, after the Russian terrorists were driven out of the city. In the streets, basements, ditches, buried, corpses were found that had already begun to decompose, were in a state of deep decomposition, corresponding to 1-2-3 weeks from the moment of death. This fully corresponds to the time of the capture of cities by terrorists of the Russian army rabble of sadists. So do not try to tell fake propaganda speeches here! Moreover, international observers recorded it all. So your sadists will be condemned, no matter how you try to hide it!
Here I want to say that Ukraine created a double Casus Belli on February 21, 2022, first by attacking by the forces of the DRG of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and 2 infantry fighting vehicles of the Armed Forces of Ukraine across the border of the Russian Federation in the area of the village of Mityakinskaya, Rostov Region, and then by artillery of the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroying the border checkpoint of the Russian Federation on the Shcherbakovo farm. This was three days before the start of the special operation. Therefore, who is the aggressor here is an interesting question. You are starting from a false premise, Casus Belli is Casus Belli. |

Quite seriously! And China, according to Russia's fantasies, was a "fraternal people", and Iran ... But they, China, Iran, Venezuela, in the end choose leaders and not losers, who are now globally represented by Russia with their tantrums and empty threats. What is more profitable for Iran - to receive dummies called rubles for its oil or to lift sanctions and receive a dollar for gas and oil? Or do you think they are all idiots? Of course, these countries will choose a more advantageous position and offer! To begin with, answer a simple question - if China is such an "anti-Western partner" of Russia, why does it buy gas from Russia on its own terms and not at market prices? Try to give a logical explanation? Look forward to ! I do not understand the question, what is surprising for you that long-term contracts are usually concluded at a discount to the market price? Your desire to count the money in someone else's pocket is also strange to me. |

But no, don't send the Armata, it'd be a shame to scratch it, would need to be repainted for the next parade.
Yep. Maybe we can send something better, for example, combat lasers to fight drones. Russia has a lot of tricks up its sleeve, some of which you don't even know about. The West is scared shitless not that it can no longer tell Russia what and how it should do, but that Russia will begin to dictate its will to the West. And there is some reason for this fear, because no one knows exactly what is on the mind of an awakened Russian bear with a large club in its paw. |
