If it is really necessary to choose between these two, for me, I would choose agriculture because we have more resources that can be obtained from it compared to oil, because all vegetables, fruits, and paper come from here.
The only sad thing is that other countries' governments don't care if the agriculture they have is actually being destroyed. Especially for rich people who turn farmers' farms into real estate and for other reasons besides this.
In my opinion, we, as citizens of a particular state, cannot choose the importance between agriculture and the presence of oil fields. Developed agriculture in the state depends almost entirely on soil fertility and climate in the country. Oil production and profit from its sale depend on whether there are explored oil deposits in the country. But if the country has large oil reserves, then with the currency proceeds from its sale, it is quite possible to buy agricultural products, which in terms of volume are much cheaper. Therefore, the presence of oil is still preferable for the economic power of the state. |

A few hours ago, on October 26, at 20:42 Moscow time, as reliable sources report, Putin died. It looks like something serious is about to start in Russia and this will directly affect the war in Ukraine.
Now the doctors have been locked in Putin’s residence in Valdai along with Putin’s corpse and are deciding what to do. Any attempt to pass off one of his doubles as Putin is an attempt at a coup.

Yesterday, October 19, there was one of the most ambitious battles in the Russian-Ukrainian war, which took place near Avdiivka and which Russia lost. I will quote almost verbatim one of the participants in the event: “Yesterday it really was hell. I talked to the guys, and they said that they had never seen anything like this anywhere, even near Bakhmut, even in Zaporozhye. This had never happened anywhere. The Russians were attacking wave after wave. They used everything, everything in general: tanks and artillery, armored personnel carriers and infantry fighting vehicles, Grads, aviation, drones, missiles, infantry... There were so many tanks that the minimum column was 5 vehicles, and the maximum - 30. They drove up, took a position and began to hit. The guys destroyed them... And very successfully This was one of the biggest battles that the Russians lost. They considered this battle extremely important for themselves... When yesterday there was the twentieth or thirtieth wave of tanks, one of the officers said: “What is this, ..., the Kursk Bulge”? ... "The Russians gathered a strike fist and threw it at Avdeevka, and then our guys did an incredible job... This is a feat. It was impossible, but they did it" According to the morning report of the General Staff, yesterday the Russian Armed Forces suffered almost record losses: 55 tanks, 120 armored vehicles, 1,380 Russians. Most of these losses were suffered by the enemy in the battle for Avdeevka. https://www.dialog.ua/war/283270_1697798267/amp |

Russia has been launching one of the largest attacks in eastern Ukraine[/b] in the area of Avdiivka, where the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ line of defense has been located since 2014. That is, for nine years the Ukrainian Armed Forces have been holding the defense there against attacking Russian soldiers, and they regularly fertilize Ukrainian black soils. Thus, according to official data from the Armed Forces of Ukraine, over the last three days, since October 10, the Russian occupation army has lost 2,840 of its troops (total 285,920), 102 tanks (total 4,931) and 184 armored vehicles (total 9,313). During this period, at the cost of these losses, they temporarily captured a little more than four square kilometers of Ukrainian fields and forest plantations. Another couple of months of such victorious attacks and Russia itself will successfully demilitarize.
That's pretty weird as you claim that you have destroyed the entire Russian army, Russia ran out of missiles in March 2022 (they ran out of washing machine chips as well), ruble is worth nothing, gas and oil are not selling, Putin is dying of cancer twice a day every day and then suddenly Russia is resuming the offensive? Don't you think that's weird?  Earlier, I wrote that in Ukraine the Russian professional invasion army, which crossed the border of Ukraine in February 2022 and numbered approximately 200 thousand people, was almost completely destroyed. According to Forbes, with reference to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, in 2022 Russia lost 106,720 soldiers killed. Casualty casualties are usually estimated at a third. That is, the total losses of the Russians could be about 400,000. This suggests that the invading army was lost in the first year of the big war. However, Russia in 2022 mobilized more than 500,000 Russians, about 60,000 residents of the occupied territory of ORDLO and about 50,000 prisoners. In fact, the size of the Russian army has only increased since the autumn “partial mobilization”. https://forbes.ua/ru/war-in-ukraine/viyskovi-resursi-voroga-skilki-rosiya-mozhe-pidtrimuvati-viynu-v-ukraini-rozbir-forbes-17082023-15466Russia still has a large reserve of “cannon fodder” and this is what gives it the opportunity to attack now in the Avdeevka area and other places. But these attacks have not yet had any significant success and only lead to large losses in manpower and equipment. |

Yes, in war it is not a matter of winning or losing. But those who benefit from war, in this case, are those who sell weapons. Talking about how the US, IMF, other countries, and banks continue to want to provide aid to Ukraine. But this “aid” is actually a loan.
And Ukraine is already in debt. If everyone in the world wanted the best for Ukraine, they would cancel its debt. After this war, win or lose, Ukraine will have a huge debt that they will have to pay off. This is also what happened in the war between Israel and Hamas fighters.
At this stage, Ukraine needs to defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity from the encroachments of Russia, which wants to destroy Ukraine as a state. All other problems for Ukraine are fading into the background for now. Yes, Ukraine’s debt under international obligations is now growing, but these problems can be solved and are much smaller in scale than in the case of its capture by Russia. In addition, a significant part of financial and material assistance is allocated to Ukraine free of charge. And in the case of loans, the situation is not so tough. After the war, depending on its results, assistance to Ukraine will continue to be provided, including, most likely, the issue of debt restructuring will also be raised. |

The World Order keeps changing every couple of decades and in that change different countries come to power, some lose their power entirely, sometimes partially. To put in three words, any new world order is the "shift of power". For example the Order before the last was a dual polar world where US and USSR were the powers. Before that it was UK instead of US.
Trying to change the existing world order is actually a very bloody path and will cost humanity dearly. If humanity survives this period at all. Now psychics, esotericists and other seers are already clearly predicting that in the next decade we will be faced with very threatening events. This process began with an attack on Ukraine, continued with an attack on Israel, and will certainly end in a general war, where the main opposing forces will be the United States and China. Moreover, a very realistic scenario in this war would be the use of nuclear weapons. Therefore, if the New World Order is established in terms of changes in global power, it will look completely different than many now imagine. |

War is not a natural disaster. Every war has its direct culprits in the person of specific state officials who started the war and decided to carry out an attack, and there are also people and the state that defend themselves from attack in this war. The behavior of people in a country that is involved in a military conflict should depend primarily on what country you live in - a country that has committed an act of aggression against another country, or a country that has been attacked.
First of all, you need to assume that if you live in a country like Russia that attacked Ukraine, then the citizens of the attacking country are also partly to blame for this situation due to the fact that they allowed such an attack. After all, according to the constitution of each state, it is the citizens who elect the highest officials of this state, and therefore are responsible for any of their actions. If a particular citizen cannot influence the end of the war that has begun, then he has the right to avoid participating in it by any means.
If you live in Ukraine or Israel, which were attacked, then evading the defense of your state will only lead to even worse consequences. There should be no other choice than to defend your country from an attack by an aggressor. Personal economic interests should not be of decisive importance here.

Putin’s Russia has long become a terrorist state that supports terror and destabilization of peace throughout our planet. This is one of the few states that constantly creates the image of an external enemy for its citizens and thus mobilizes them to unite around the existing government, and thus this government stays afloat for a long time. Therefore, Russia cannot exist without wars with its neighbors.
The Hamas attack on Israel would hardly be so powerful if it were not supported by today's Russia, which needs to distract its people and the peoples of the world from military failures on the Ukrainian front, try to discredit Ukraine and deprive it of international assistance. But these attempts will still become obvious over time and boomerang on Russia itself. In this case, Israel will clearly not forgive Russia for providing assistance to Hamas.

I have traded forex in the pas but I am no forex expert, but I know that Dirham (AED) and Ruble (RUB) was never a high performing assets. Compared to USD or GBP those two are far below the GBP and USD level, AED and RUB are not even Tier 2 in my opinion. And with what has been done by Russia it can only get worse.
Putin's Russia made an unforgivable mistake by attacking Ukraine and trying to destroy this state. The Kremlin has long understood this, and if they could go back in time so as not to make such a fatal mistake, they would probably do it. But for now it is impossible to stop time. The current situation, in which the political leadership of Russia denies the harmfulness of such a decision for Russia, only aggravates the situation and leads to more serious consequences. For Putin, admitting this mistake means at least his political death, so he is simply playing for time, continuing to believe in miracles and use shamans and otherworldly forces. Therefore, the ruble will continue to fall. This is already inevitable. The Russian economy has entered a deep dive, from which it will be impossible to get out of it for many years. |

It turns out that lately I very rarely support the decisions and actions of Elon Musk, except, of course, for his space programs. But here Musk is completely right. People must limit the capabilities of artificial intelligence in areas where the decisions made could threaten significant harm to humanity. No matter what anyone says about the usefulness of AI, one wrong or deliberately wrong decision could easily destroy our civilization. It is necessary to draw up general rules for working with AI and to insert into the activity programs for AI a ban on killing or harming a person. This was clearly stated in the first books of the fantasy genre. Such moments are not accidental. Because the past, present and future are closely interconnected with the theoretical ability to penetrate through time in different directions.

Anyway, Ukraine's counter-offensive is now officially over. The Russians are attacking near Avdiivka and now also in Robotyne-Verbove in southern Ukraine. To sum it up, Ukraine has lost (I'm using the Russia's Ministry of Defence data here, because according to Ukraine there have been no casualties so far) 43000 soldiers during the offensive, 26 fighter jets, 9 helicopters, 1 831 tanks, APC and other armored vehicles, including 25 Leopard 2 tanks, 7 AMX tanks and 21 Bradley APC. Additionally, Russia has destroyed 76 M777 artillery systems and 84 British, French, German and US built howitzers. All this just to regain control over a couple square miles of territory (which is being recaptured by Russia atm).
Firstly, I join the comments previously made by another participant in this forum to you not to insult other participants, not to call them idiots and not to point out to Ukrainians that their place is now in the trenches at the front, and not here on the forum. Secondly, the counter-offensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces has not yet been completed and will not be completed in the near future. The leaders of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry claim that it will continue in the winter until the last occupier leaves the territory of Ukraine or falls into its soil. The completion of the Ukrainian counter-offensive was only announced from the UN rostrum by Russian representative Nebenzya, although Ukraine did not authorize him to do so. Regarding the figures you indicated for military losses in Ukraine, they are really interesting. True, in the link you provided in the text of the article, according to the words of the Minister of Attack (one can hardly call him defense) of Russia, Shoigu, the losses of Ukrainians in September alone amount to more than 17,000 soldiers and more than 2,700 weapons. If Ukraine had suffered such losses, then by this time it would no longer have either soldiers or equipment, even taking into account not so much Western assistance. But Ukrainians are defending their land from rabid hordes of invaders and they have no other choice. Why should Russians die on foreign soil? For the sake of crazy ideas about creating a great empire for their tsar and dictator Putin? By the way, the other day the Council of Europe recognized that there is a dictatorship in Russia, and Putin is an illegitimate dictator. |

Before Israel - Palestine conflict, I did not even consider such a possibilities ( USA is sending a second aircraft carrier to the eastern Mediterranean ).
What if USA will be in the war in future or any international conflict that can lead to the war - USA government can confiscate Bitcoins with USA based blockchain nodes + exchanges + online wallets for war expenses.
.The US could enter the war on Israel's side if Iran openly supports Hamas and its allies in the war. This scenario is quite possible. The fact that Hamas launched more than 5,000 rockets into Israel in the first days suggests with a high degree of probability that these rockets were provided by Iran. Iran is already warning Israel against sending its troops into the Gaza Strip and threatens to side with Hamas in this case. Given the threats to Israel and from other Arab states, World War III may soon begin. Although some argue that it has already begun. As for bitcoins, it is unlikely that the US government will ever want to confiscate them even from its citizens for war needs. As long as the dollar is the world's reserve currency, the United States can simply print dollars as much as it needs. |

Russia has been disrupting different markets in the past year (food/grain, fertilizer, gas and oil). Recently as a big diesel fuel exporter, Russia started disrupting that market and playing with international supply and price. They cut the export completely then lifted the ban slightly.
Diesel fuel is important in heavy machinery and is directly affecting the supply chain ergo the price of everything like price of food.
Yes, last year Russia actually destroyed some world markets through its actions, because it wanted to establish a new world order. And it began with an attempt to seize Ukraine, an attempt to destroy this state and the Kremlin’s desire to annex its territories to its renewed empire. If this succeeded, then the next targets of Russia's attack would be Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia, and also, depending on the unfolding events, Poland. Simultaneously with the military invasion of Ukraine, Russia began to blackmail European countries, which were firmly on the oil and gas hook, by reducing oil and gas supplies so that Europe would not prevent it from destroying Ukraine. Most likely, this plan would have succeeded, and the new world order would have been based on wars, chaos and violence, the absorption of weak states by stronger ones. Europe and even the United States and its allies have already come to terms with the possible seizure of Ukraine and offered its President Zelensky to leave the country and offered weapons only for waging guerrilla warfare under conditions of complete occupation. But the cards of all the players of the new and old order were changed by the stubborn and heroic resistance of the Ukrainian people and their armed forces to the forces of the Russian occupiers, superior in all aspects. Only after seeing that the Ukrainians were capable of long-term resistance (not even victory at that time), the United States and Europe began to increase various assistance to Ukraine, if only in order to deplete the military and economic potential of Russia through the hands of the Ukrainians and reduce the likelihood of a military conflict with them. Now they have already realized that without eliminating the military threat through its destruction or at least long-term neutralization, there cannot be a civilized order based on respect for the sovereignty of the territorial integrity of states. But Russia and its ally Iran do not give up their attempts to destabilize the world and the events of the attack on Israel, where they were active participants in the preparation of such an attack, are confirmation of this. |

If there are wars like what is happening now in Russia vs. Ukraine and Israel vs. Hamas, I don't think we crypto enthusiasts will be affected much by this, except for the people who believe in crypto who are in the country of war itself.
People like that opportunity, and our crypto assets should be stored well, not only in hardware wallets but for USBs or sny cold wallets. Physical things can be damaged, but not digital assets like Bitcoin. The economy can also be affected, but not the digital assets we have. The recovery of the country may take a long time when the war ends.
I recently read in the news that Russia, on the eve of the Hamas attack on Israel, transferred over $80 million in cryptocurrency to Hamas cryptocurrency wallets. In addition to the fact that this indicates Russia’s support for this terrorist formation in its war against Israel, the state and, first of all, the countries of Europe and the United States will most likely be forced to respond to this fact by introducing stricter regulation of the circulation of cryptocurrency and, above all, in relation to cryptocurrencies with a high degree of anonymity. The war between Hamas and Israel threatens to escalate into a military confrontation involving many countries. This is definitely bad for cryptocurrency. After writing this post, I discovered confirmation of this proposal. https://www.unian.net/world/v-ssha-sobirayusya-prekratit-vozmozhnost-finansirovat-hamas-s-pomoshchyu-kriptovalyuty-12424515.html |

On September 23, I listed Ukraine's impressive victories over the Russian Black Sea Fleet. Ukraine, which does not have its own fleet, is successfully sinking the Russian Black Sea Fleet both with missiles of its own production and with its own drones, a special place among which is given to a relatively new type of weapon - surface and underwater drones. Since that time, two more have been added to the list of damaged or sunk Russian ships. Thus, on October 11, it became known that the Russian large patrol ship Pavel Derzhavin was blown up in the outer roadstead of Russian-occupied Ukrainian Sevastopol. Corvette Pavel Derzhavin (board number 363) was laid down in 2016 and launched in 2019. He has been in the Russian Black Sea Fleet since 2020. The 94 meter long ship can accommodate up to 80 people. Residents of Sevastopol heard the sound of an explosion at about 10 am. Since June 2022, the armament of the Pavel Derzhavin has been reinforced with the Tor-M2KM anti-aircraft missile system installed on the stern. It is capable of carrying up to 8 Caliber cruise missiles. There are only four such ships in the Russian Black Sea Fleet. It was initially assumed that the ship could have been hit by a mine, so Russia deployed minesweepers, but to no avail. Since they did not understand what happened to their ship, the situation repeated itself on October 13. Russian Telegram channels confirm that the ship Derzhavin was attacked again around noon on October 13 while leaving Sevastopol Bay and suffered damage to the rudder group. The tug Nikolai Muru was sent to assist him, which was also attacked. The damaged "Nikolai Mura" was towed to the harbor. In addition, on October 13, in a joint operation of the SBU and the Ukrainian Navy, the Buyan launch vehicle was also attacked. Both ships were hit by Ukrainian unmanned maritime drones "Sea Baby" with experimental weapons. Sources: https://myc.news/politika/poteri_chernomorskogo_flota_rf_v_vms_raskryli_podrobnostihttps://www.pravda.com.ua/rus/news/2023/10/13/7423968/https://censor.net/ru/news/3449293/sbu_i_vms_porazili_rossiyiskiyi_raketonositel_buyan_i_korabl_pavel_derjavin_morskimi_dronami_istochnikThey are now trying to hide the remnants of the Russian Black Sea Fleet away from occupied Crimea in Russian ports. Thus, Ukraine successfully solves the problem of exporting its agricultural products from its ports to the world market, although Russia continues to attack its ports mainly with aerial drones. |

LOL.. there was so much hype after the Ukrainian announced their "counter-offensive" a few months back. But now they are on the backfoot, as Russians have launched new attacks in Avdeevka and Kupyansk. Also, Ukrainians seems to be running out of manpower, while there are no reports that Russians are facing the same situation. And all this have happened despite Western nations stepping up their military and financial aid to Ukraine. Also, while Russians face no shortage of equipment or artillery shells, despite western support Ukraine is running out of equipment and shells.
Yes, some sources on Telegram are reporting Russians are about to encircle Avdiivka and if this is going to happen 11k AFU soldiers will be destroyed or will have to surrender. AFU have days, possibly hours left to leave the town to avoid Bakhmut 2.0. In any case, this will further worsen the morale of the Ukrainian troops. The Ukrainian armed forces have been continuing their offensive since June and are not going to stop in the rainy autumn or cold winter, much less retreat. The Russian occupation army has also been attacking in the Avdeevka area since October 10, using large amounts of manpower and equipment. Therefore, Russia's losses have increased sharply. Over the four days of such an offensive, according to official data from the General Staff of Ukraine, Russia lost approximately 3,810 of its soldiers and officers, 111 tanks, 208 armored vehicles, 120 artillery systems and other weapons. So let them attack. This will truly be the second Bakhmut for them. There, by the way, the mousetrap will soon slam shut and the Russians may find themselves completely surrounded. Therefore, let's just wait for the results of the offensive of both the Russians in the Avdeevka area and the Ukrainian Armed Forces in southern Ukraine. The result promises to be very interesting. |

Talking about war, not only about who is the winner but depend with war regarding defend their land, religion and their freedom and why war can't stoppable until right now. Beside have another important thing with war as business and why can't stop for longer time war keep continues around the war. We can see with United State as country selling their gun and help some countries get war invasion, last year helped Ukraine by giving thousand hundred of gun machine and right now have rumor on media about their gun using in war between Hamas and Israel, who get benefit with war as business and some citizen try to defending their land but have interest conflict as business make war can't stopping yet.
You say that the United States, with its weapons transferred to other countries, helps them invade other countries and gives an example of such assistance with weapons to Ukraine and Israel. I consider such examples unfortunate, since Ukraine and Israel were victims of the attack. In this case, the United States is transferring its weapons so that Ukraine and Israel can defend themselves from attacks on them. But any defense will be effective only if the defender, after an attack on him, launches retaliatory strikes against military targets on enemy territory. Ukraine is doing this and Israel is doing this in the Gaza Strip, from where missiles are launched. In order to discredit the Armed Forces of Ukraine and reduce the assistance provided to Ukraine, Russia, even on the eve of the Hamas attack on Israel, transferred foreign military equipment captured at the front in Ukraine to Hamas. This provocation of Russia at least indicates that they knew about the impending attack by Hamas on Israel, and given the video that is now being distributed of the moment the fence was broken into Israeli territory, where Russian speech “Cover”, “Forward” is heard among armed people in camouflage, as well as the fact that now on Russian territory they are recruiting militants into the Wagner PMC to participate in Hamas units, Russia is directly participating in this war on the side of Hamas and actively participated in preparatory actions for an attack on Israel. |

I think the war economy will have no effect on crypto is not under anyone's control but will increase the demand for crypto. The wars also affected the interest rates charged by banks and other creditors to borrowers this is the result of war spending financed entirely by debt which has contributed to a higher ratio of national debt to gross domestic product and subsequent long term interest rate increases while fiat currencies suffer. Nowadays every people are very aware about bitcoin and they know the use of bitcoin which will help a lot to reduce the danger long term investment will yield better results.
Local wars certainly help increase demand for cryptocurrency. However, as the threat of them turning into a world war increases, the demand for cryptocurrency is likely to fall. After all, people will have the primary task of surviving in this situation, so first of all, clothing, food, shelter, everything that helps a person survive will be important. Any money in this situation will lose its value, and cryptocurrency as well. |
