    Gonna be ugly tomorrow

    It is a red herring. Who the hell cares. It is an internal Ukrainian matter. They deal with it. The Jewish President and the Jewish Defense Minister deal with it. Using that as a "provocation" for a military invasion is absolutely and utterly ridiculous and anyone who swallows that piece of...

    Gonna be ugly tomorrow

    It is pathetic to see Western useful idiots here and elsewhere claim that Putin's insane war was not "unprovoked".

    Ok here is an FSB analyst on Ukraine

    I trust the Bellingcat. They are pretty skeptical, if they say it looks authentic it probably is.

    Ok here is an FSB analyst on Ukraine

    Сразу честно скажу: почти не спал все эти дни, почти все время на работе, в голове слегка плывет, как в тумане. И от переутомления иногда уже ловлю состояния, как будто это все не по-настоящему. Честно говоря, ящик Пандоры открыт - к лету начнется реальный ужас мирового масштаба - глобальный...

    Ok here is an FSB analyst on Ukraine

    I have hardly slept at all these days, at work at almost all times, I have brain-fog. Maybe from overworking, but I feel like this is all not real. The Pandora’s Box is open – a real global horror will begin by the summer – global famine is inevitable (Russia and Ukraine are main producers of...

    Ok here is an FSB analyst on Ukraine

    This is from an FSB (Russian security agency) analyst. Christo Grozev from Bellingcat says that at first he was sceptical but he checked the source, it was shown to a couple of known FSB people and they verified that it was most probably authentic. Translation mainly mine. I will post it in...

    AFAIU this is equivalent to Russian default

    Moody's just lowered Russia's rating from BBB to Ca. That's the last step before full default. "Obligations rated Ca are highly speculative and are likely in, or very near, default, with some prospect of recovery in principal and interest." Next one (it is coming) is C: "Obligations rated C...

    S&P: Russia's rating now CCC-

    BTW, in case someone is interested, Moody's just lowered Russia's rating from BBB to Ca. That's the last step before full default. "Obligations rated Ca are highly speculative and are likely in, or very near, default, with some prospect of recovery in principal and interest." Next one (it is...

    S&P: Russia's rating now CCC-

    I posted a video that was in Russian only. No subtitles. You responded, after watching it, clearly understanding what was in the video.

    Russia & Ukraine

    From the Russian Central Bank announcement: All Visa and Mastercard issued by Russian banks will work inside Russia until expiration date. All foreign operations for such cards are not available. That includes internet stores as well as using the cards in person outside of the country. When...

    Economic Sanctions as a Weapon

    About Russian agriculture. From my Russian sources (I may screw up terminology, not an expert in translating the technical stuff): Grain seeds are 40-45% imported. The equipment used to work the fields - US, Germany, Holland. All the pigs are bred from imported materials, the feed comes from...

    S&P: Russia's rating now CCC-

    Then the bluff will be called. Because having Russia hold the world hostage is unacceptable no matter what. You have this weird idea that Putin can push a button and send out nuclear weapons. He can't. There are multiple people who have to agree to do that. And not everyone is criminally...

    Economic Sanctions as a Weapon

    Anatoly Nesmyan - a very good Russian analyst and military expert, recently (translation mine): We don't tell jokes, we live in them. "There are two questions on the agenda: 1. How to rule the world and 2. How to stretch the sack of potatoes until spring."

    Economic Sanctions as a Weapon

    In 3 months, gas in the US will be average $5, prices will be up 10%, inflation will be at 7-8%. That will be the peak, by the way. Meantime, in Russia, ruble will be at 500 or more and the economy will crater 30%-50%. And I will tell you I told you so.
