AldrichAmes:
Message from Russia and China today is the game changer.

The west would try to lure India but it’s too late. UK’s recent policy of putting Indians in powerful positions in government won’t help because India will always remember its colonial past and how the UK looted and destroyed India. Also, Russia and India have always been partners and India owes a lot to Russia hence most Indians are pro-Russia. The only problem is the India vs China skirmishes and it isn’t as bad as India’s colonial past.

We just have to see how the dominoes fall in the coming weeks.

Is this the end of an empire and the rise of a diversified world? Russia is willing to make the sacrifices to kickstart the change. But the endgame is unpredictable.

And how will history remember Putin since the victors always write it?

Svlla:
You're right but I will like to point out one thing

UK puts more Pakistanis in position of power/importance than India

This is what I've noticed over time but I may be wrong

AldrichAmes:


Home office, treasury and defence are the three most important positions in the UK cabinet apart from PM.

Indians occupy 2 out of 3.

Then they will have two options
1. Either watch their citizens freeze to death next winter and their countries turned into a war front by riots OR....
2. Invade Russia and take the gas by force.

Johnrake69:
They might try to invade Russia. Europeans can’t stand hardship

JosephXavier:
This is a part I really like

Since EU had their own currency,the should trade in Euros

Africa needs to develop their own domestic currency just like the Europeans have done likewise other continents

This cuurency is what should be used to between African countries

Igbofam:


Still wrong. US has started supplying EU with more gas as they move away from Russian gas.

Oh and by the way I can tell you for a fact that a sustainable, renewable and much more powerful yet cheaper alternative to Russian Oil and Gas is in the works and FYI it is not even Oil and Gas.

Go and sit down.

How do I know? I am in a way involved in it. I was one of those who brokered the deal. Talks are happening now.

I will come back to this post once it rolls out and show you how Russia has lost it all with this singular major alternative.

SKIBiNSKI:
Europe can not live without Russian gas, they can pretend they don't need russia but they do. Now they are running around begging for gas/oil from the Arabs (Dubai) Dubai who executed 81 innocent citizens of their country including africans last week. What is the difference between Russia and Dubai? Did you also know that the
son of a former Russian spy who is Putin's friend is a member of parliament in the UK. His name is Lord Lebedev. Why did the
UK government not sanctions him? (But they claimed to sanction Abramovich) Or remove him from UK house of lords? This so called Russian invasion of Ukraine has being political. Did you know that the UK is still buying Russian gas till today. The UK's chancellor's wife owns a company in Russia as of today. People need to wake up to Europe's and the UK's hyporcricies. Nigeria should be worried rather that the UK may invade nigeria and cause conflicts so as to take over and control nigerian oil.

uneeking:


Guy, I feel your vibe. I just want you and others on this platform to know that your fear has already started as far as what the UK will do to Nigeria and its oil. Who do you think is sponsoring wrong leaders, (ISIS), Boko Haram and Herdsmen in Nigeria? And what is their purpose? Naija Oil, of course! Na God hands we dey o!

egbedox:
Russia is indeed a very powerful Nation. They are so consequential that the NATO/EU cannot just do without the product Russia offer.
Same goes to everyman. When you have a lot to offer, people will not neglect you

MT:


No contract was violated in sanction. If you note any contract violated in any of the sanction, kindly state it. Contract is a contract, it can't be reneged on on an international stage

Adjovi:

What economic law did Russia break that warranted their foreign reserve freezed?

pquaver:


Europe won't suffer more rather the supply to the reserves won't be so fast as there is lng alternative...

BKayy:

Where exactly do you think Europe hope to get alternatives from?

My dear don't allow ignorance take the lead on you. Venezuela is seriously arming themselves up. Saudi is looking for cooperation with China incase.

You don't get it. If these Imperialists don't find alternative before December, they will lose their sanity and look for where they will get alternative by force even if it means reintroducing what they did in 17/18th century.

Civilization is just a lie to hide the fact that they (West) get what they want unchallenged. Always remember that slavery was not abolished because they felt guilty but because of mechanisation and need to force their people to buy the machines.

Shascky33:

its funny how much optimism u people have. Go to twitter and here directly from the people wey the shoe dey pain for leg. If russia offs the tap, the price of gas will worsen. A liter is equivalent of 1000 naira in europe already.

SKIBiNSKI:
Some where in boko haram, Ipob, looting, bandit and bombing land. No be lie

Igbofam:


In dollar terms that's 15cents to a dollar

Rubles is still way down there

Hotice085:


Special operations with over 8 Generals dead, 10000 soldiers dead , tanks destroyed and captured and after weeks of surrounding kiev are returning home empty....what a special operation

Horus:

The Russian central bank pegged 1 gram of gold to 5000 Rubles (currently, about 50 bucks).

At the same time, Putin made it so that Russian gas and oil can only be purchased in Rubles.

Meaning: Putin basically just pegged Russian oil and gas to gold, using paper rubles as a proxy.

Meaning: Europe will need to either buy Rubles from Putin in gold, in order to buy gas and oil, or they will have to buy directly in gold. Which means, there will soon be a lot more demand for rubles.

Currently, the forex rate for rubles to dollars is about 100:1.

But... with 5000 rubles now equaling 1 gram of gold, and oil being priced directly in gold, you're going to see a massive price disruption in these FOREX markets, in terms of how much gold a dollar can actually still buy.

Foreign countries holding our dollar debt notes in reserve will see less of a use for them, and will want to start dumping them, in order to get something more stable, something which holds its value.

Basically any currency pegged to gold now will fit the bill. Which means those countries like Japan will be dumping their dollar debt as fast as they can. They're are NOT going to go down with the ship. And they will move into more stable currencies like the Ruble.

Which will have a deflationary effect on the Ruble, making it more valuable over time.

Which means Putin will be able to re-peg the Ruble to Gold at whatever rate he wants, down the line. It's 5000 rubles today.
Tomorrow, it might be 500. And then 100. And then 10.

This also means all those excess dollars being dumped by foreign nations are about to come home and cause even worse hyperinflation than we're seeing.

Is it any wonder Biden is up on stage pleading with Europeans for regime change in Russia? He's about to have masses of angry and starving people marching through the streets here at home, demanding answers.

caracas:

Are u sure you are current
Last time I checked , Russia has become a pariah nation, they’ve been neglected by the whole reasonable world n organizations…
