Russian Invasion of Ukraine[In Progress]

[BADecker]

Some peole here says that Ukraine makes terrorist attacks. In Kherrson there is literally human safari is happening literally - they're chasing civilians with drones. This time street vendor who sells vegetables become target. Unbeleavable, but guy survived this attack:

Wondering how Russian apologists here will explain this thing.

Why do you think Ukraine redirected it's attacks from Russia's oil industry? Surely those drones could be directed to some more Russian oil refineries. Is that because Ukraine failed to achieve it's primary goal and is now forced to switch to secondary targets? Warehouses of mainly Chinese made consumer goods in hopes to undermine Russian finances (which mainly relies on oil and oil byproducts)? Or can they spin it as a success, as in Ukraine successfully destroyed Russia's oil industry they and now prioritizing other targets?

Who told you that Ukraine stopped to attack Russian oil industry. Only in recent week there was attacks on oil refineries in Yaroslavl, Ufa, Saratov and even in Omsk which is 2500 km away from Ukraine:

But attacks on Wildberries is getting more attention, don't know why.

But...

Ukraine wouldn't be able to do anything without EU support.

Ukraine is literally destroyed: Kiev, Odessa, Kharkov soon, many other places... while attacks on Russia are barely scratching the surface.

Meanwhile, Russia is preparing to turn it into a REAL WW3 type war if the West won't back off.


Let me say this about nukes. Some people don't think nukes work. Some think that they are not very dangerous. But there are many among leading scientists and government officials who think that they would send the whole planet back to the stone age, through radioactive fallout if no other way.  Are we going to find out? Keep pushing Russia, and we will be pushing ourselves right into finding out the hard way.

Sadly there are certain groups with certain mindsets who are perfectly happy to find out.  Nuclear war matches their 'prophecies' alarmingly well.

These types of people are obviously dangerous psychotics and should be treated as such by humanity even if it does, at times, impact their 'human rights.'

Normally these types of psychotics only make it to the leadership positions of piss-ant countries who don't matter much to humanity.  We are now in an age where they have made it to the top of the nuclear powers.  Specifically Israel, and due to subversion, also the United States.  I would argue that Putin, Xi, and even Un are throw-backs to a period where the leaderships of great powers were generally pragmatic and sane.  Simultaneously, the Netansatan and Drumpf are (probably Frankists and) clearly not.  And they both owe their positions to the Rothschild family in a general sort of way.

...............through radioactive fallout if no other way.  
....

People in Hiroshima and Nagasaki life just as long as anywhere else in Japan or even longer than other parts i the world.
Technical Russia and Japan are still at war because of the Kuril islands.

Ships, port, oil terminal destroyed in Novorossiysk

Russia on the other hand destroyed two churches in two days. How dare you celebrate Christmas when you do.
More bad news for Putin more and more Russians want to end the SMO and Russia's domestic situation worsening with every passing day, less freedom, ....


China shows who's boss in Russia, a numbers game https://x.com/nexta_tv/status/2087451404663214529/video/1



Russia is deep state allowing Bitcoin to trade under central bank rules. Banned as everyday payment. A reminder why most of us here in the first place.

A purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash would allow online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a financial institution.

Why is Ukraine attacking Wild-berries, AKA the ruzzian Amazon?

One could think that it is not that relevant for war. It does sell drone parts and is part of the general logistics to a point, but... is there nothing more interesting to attack?

The reason is that it can precipitate a collapse of the Ruzzian banking system. This company is the largest debtor of a range of Ruzzian banks. If you cannot do commerce, you cannot pay debt, banks start to collapse.

None of this is random.

Wildberries has a huge loan portfolio, so the company's massive losses could also affect the largest Russian banks, among which he named Sberbank, VTB, Alfa-Bank, and PSB.

 To all of you trolls writing here, just make sure you are paid in bitcoin, not in Rubles.

Note that if the Russian banking system collapses, Russia will be forced to operate with BRICS in ways not yet imagined. [...]

Let's examine that

BRICS
 - Brazil= cannot deal with their own credit, unable to loan.
- Ruzzia - Cannot help Ruzzia
- India - Their debt to GDP is around 84%. Surely they can make it 100% to help Ruzzia, it is just I do not imagine why
- South Africa - well, no chance.

So it leaves us with China, which is still trying to digest their own real state crisis. So this means a loan by China of 10.8 billions, on top of probably having already commercial credits with Ruzzia all over. I wonder what will China ask in return, if they are even willing to consider.

No, what is going to happen is that the Ruzzian state will subsidize Wildberries. And that is absolutely perfect, less money for war. Ukraine will choose the next company in debt and apply "kinetic sanctions". And then next...

You get the idea.

Examination, indeed. When you look at BRICS through Western banking eyes, it may look weak. But when you look at it through BRICS eyes, it is stronger. And if you examine all the financial turmoil in the US and the EU, you get a similar picture to what you described for Brazil and BRICS.

The point is simple. BRICS nations do not want to stop trade with the West. All they want is fair trade, which means getting rid of Western banking control. You can see how unfair the West banking system is when you look at taxation and inflation. There shouldn't be any taxation, and very little inflation... all caused by the banking system. BRICS nations don't want that for themselves... at least not from the West.

You are looking at little points when you talk about things like Wildberries. Take a look at the big picture. Freedom for the world and the people of the US comes with the destruction of the US and EU banking systems which steal value and property from all of us. BRICS is the the start to fair world trade.

Looks like people know that Ukraine is just about done, even though Zelensky is talk, talk, talking as usual. Perhaps Russia is done, too. But they are leaving Ukraine lots of firewood for the coming winter.

Anybody got any news?

How it started:

European leaders blame Russian ‘sabotage’ after Nord Stream explosions...
“These are deliberate actions, not an accident,” Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen told reporters Tuesday. “The situation is as serious as it gets.”...
“We do not know the details of what happened yet, but we can clearly see that it is an act of sabotage,” Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki told reporters Tuesday....
Five European officials with direct knowledge of security discussions said there was a widespread assumption that Russia was behind the incident. Only Russia had the motivation, the submersible equipment and the capability, several of them said,...
“No one on the European side of the ocean is thinking this is anything other than Russian sabotage,” said a senior European environmental official, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal thinking about the leak.
One official said it might have been a message to NATO: “We are close.” Another said that it could be a threat to other, non-Russian energy infrastructure

The U.N. Security Council on Monday declined a Russian request to investigate the blasts on the pipelines that move natural gas from Russia to Europe under the Baltic Sea...The U.S. deputy ambassador, Robert Wood, said there was no need for a U.N. probe when investigations by Sweden, Denmark and Germany “are proceeding in a comprehensive, transparent and impartial manner.”

How it's going:
Denmark refuses to help Germany investigate Nord Stream explosions

Croatia orders detention of Ukrainian man wanted in Germany for Nord Stream blasts in 2022

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has said Germany should not hold those suspected of blowing up the Nord Stream gas pipelines criminally liable.
Ooops

Why investigate Europe's largest act of sabotage. Just new realities in Europe. "For my friends, everything; for my enemies, the law"

But everything seems to be coming to its logical conclusion. Trump is doing what American's do best, regime change, only now in Europe and for ultra rights. And European leaders do what they do best, running in circles completely clueless.

Germany's gas storage facilities are currently less full than at any point at this time of year since records began in 2011, according to gas storage group INES...Heinermann said storage facilities were currently 49% full, compared with 67% at the same time last year.
Not like Germans really need that gas, they can just always shut down more manufacturing to lower demand. What could possibly go wrong with such ingenious plan...

Germany’s firewall was meant to hold the far right at bay. It may have done the reverse. An AfD win in ​next month’s state election in Saxony-Anhalt would shatter a decades-long political consensus and reverberate throughout the EU

Who could've possibly predicted such obvious outcome.

Ukrainian leadership should've never volunteered their own people to be pawns for such idiocy. What a dumb way to waste so many of your own people.

Thank you DaRude.

Basically a good summary. Everybody wants to make slaves of everybody else, it seems. The more one has, the more he (she) wants. Yet nobody seems to understand love, which is the basis for everything.

For over 100 years the Western banking systems have been raping the people of the West. They have been doing it through all kinds of advertising, that has dulled the minds of most. One of the simple best places to go to see some wisdom is Benjamin Franklin. Much more can be found in the Maxims of Law, which is kinda French as well as American.

Europe isn't following this basic law, and the whole Western banking system suggests that they do, but really don't. Maxims of Law overrule almost any court. If judges don't follow them, judges are corrupt.

Zelensky has not followed them with regard to his own people. Russia, with all its bombings, is simply helping to prepare firewood for Ukrainians in the coming winter.

Thanks again DaRude.
