Putin likens Western sanctions to war as Russian assault traps Ukrainian civilians
Russian President Vladimir Putin said Western sanctions were akin to war as his forces pressed their assault on Ukraine on Saturday for a 10th day and the IMF warned the conflict would have a "severe impact" on the global economy.www.reuters.com
It quotes a bunch of rubbish and innuendo.It actually just quotes stuff already in the public domain nothing new much was actually evidence given by the participants named but you know fake news eh.
Russia is in a vice getting crushed economically, what would be going through Putins mind now? Win big or lose it all, there is no going back now. Estonia has roughly 24-25% ethic Russian population, also in Nato. This is logically the next point of escalation.
See how many Rubles the Nato contract with Estonia is worth, think Putin would see that hand
Go back through the Trump thread and reread all the posts on trump/Russia connection. It ended up a bunch of bs along with the whole Russiagate. We could probably get more Russian links out of Hillary/Biden.Like what?
China might bail them out and keep them afloat somehow.
China’s President Xi Jinping alone has the power to keep the Russian economy functional and Putin in power. The Moscow share and derivatives market remains shut because the authorities know what would be revealed if it allowed them to open. How?
Because the securities of 27 of Russia’s biggest companies continued trading in London for a few days until they were suspended this week. And the losses were horrendous. Before suspension, they’d lost between 90 and 100 per cent of their value since the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine. The sanction-hit Sberbank was down by 99.7 per cent to trade for just one penny, for instance. Oil giant Lukoil had lost 99.2 per cent.
“In reality,” reported London’s Financial Times, “many Western banks, refineries and shipowners are in effect ‘self sanctioning’ – behaving as if Russian oil has already been placed under sanctions. ‘Russia’s oil has effectively become toxic,’ said one banker.”
The prominent Russian economist Maxim Mironov writes: “I’m often asked about economic sanctions. In short, my scientific conclusion, as a finance professor and PhD from Chicago University – the Russian economy is f---ed.”
Isolated Putin’s only lifeline: become Xi’s puppet
Evidence is mounting that Xi Jinping knew of Russia’s impending invasion of Ukraine and positioned China to be uniquely supportive. But why? It would suit Xi for Russia - the international pariah state - to become China’s vassal state.www.theage.com.au
And from the article,
plus:
I admit I am no expert but a couple of things seem to have occurred and it's unintentional.
First, NATO would seem to have been re-energised and that in only a couple of weeks. Totally unexpected. I have heard that now both Finland and Sweden are considering membership. That's amazing to me.
And the same with the EU. It appears to have bonded more than was the case previously.
Sure, Russia will probably resort to a standard tactic of surrounding and reducing places to rubble (We have to destroy the village in order to save it concept) but the further West it goes the greater the opposition appears to be.
While Russia will more than likely occupy the Ukraine, it will have the issue of continuing holding it. That will further consume resources and will be costly in lives - on both sides. Wonder which population won't be thrilled to see all the body-bags coming home.
