Tabarelli also said that Italians should be ready for rationing during the coldest winter months. He also urged households to make use of alternative ways of heating, such as firewood and pellets, although he added that prices for those were also up.  grin grin
The people that placed sanctions on Russia are now turning out to be the ones rationing electricity, checking fuel tanks before selling fuel at petrol stations, etc. While the nation they sanctioned is living on normally like nothing ever happened. Call it shooting one's self on the foot.

I'm predicting now that Truss will not survive November. cool The shocking thing is that despite all these glaring failures, they're still committed to going down the Russian sanction insanity lane with wreckless abandon. I think there is a medical name for this type of mental behavior. undecided

you can as well present verifiable facts on which this opinion is based.
Modified.

See the picture below. Straight from a western news publication.

The newly annexed four regions of Ukraine will further enhanced Russia's economic and strategic deterrent/posturr, especially if they should include Odessa to make Ukraine completely landlock.

A land locked Ukraine will serve very little or no purpose for NATO's military ambition towards Russia. But, I don't think you will understand. cool

Emmanuel Macron was outraged by the prices of American liquefied gas for Europe: "Paying 4 times more for gas than your own companies is hardly like friendship."
You asked for it, buy it. Why complain?

Russian President Vladimir Putin has said there is no need for more massive strikes on Ukraine, days after the heaviest bombardment of the country since the war began.

I'm guessing that means that they've basically run out of missiles that they're prepared to use up for now. meanwhile belgorod Russia is receiving it hot this evening from Ukraine.
They have been running out of missiles since February. Very funny. cool

The ignorance here sometimes is palpable.

The intensity at which some of you display ignorance is marveling

In the event of a nuclear war nether the West or Russsia will survive it. Don't be deceived

NATO's recently scheduled nuclear exercise will be 1000 miles from Russian border and MOSCOW will be duly informed even as the exercise will not involve actual nuclear weapons. What does that tell you?
They can be no room for errors or misunderstanding...it takes a few minutes to trigger a nuclear war and subsequent launch of missiles from both sides

Stop posting stupid comment about nuclear war you have absolutely no idea about

You are forgetting that these countries have the Triad. Nuclear bombs undersea, over the air and on the ground. Ground based systems for instance with a 10000 miles range can be tucked away in a forest, And Silo based are in hardened hidden locations.
Subs can be anywhere so long as it's 200km exclusive zone.
Air bombers are long range with refuelling can fly for days.

If you attack first better kill everyone because their retaliation can come from air, land or sea.

One ICBM with Multiple Re-entry Vehicles can decimate 10-12 cities at a go.

Nobody wins, Biden wants to get rid of Putin, Just like in Libya he has noone to replace him with.
Western nations are very afraid of losing their citizens, ( (war crimes). A single ftatened city in America and the country would call for ceasefire.
You're highly enlightened.

Same thing u denied b4, using the standard of the West to compare to others is slave mentally, the Russians are well aware of the lifestyle of the West, they refuse to live that lifestyle or practice their system. Mater of fact they hate it.

Even if minimum wage is lower In Russia the purchasing power is not the same with the West, Russia has almost all natural resources plus agriculture so things are cheap and others like medicals, housing etc are subsidized. I know pple in Nigeria on 50k salary building house.

Minimum wage in d West is high because, the tax is high, electricity, water, gas bills are all high. Including housing, medicals, education. etc.

I repeat West is not the standard. Remove that mentality from ur brain. If u want to talk about war let's talk about war forget minimum wage
Succinctly put.

Elon musk investigated after telling Ukraine the truth indirectly messaging the West..

Julius Assange is still in prison.. That's the western freedom..

Evil people that cause havoc all over the world are now trying to label their adversary evil and themselves saint, what they fear is now happening under their watch... grin

I love that Borrel comment but Medvedev reply is always epic.. Russia Bomber are already in strategic places to deal with nuisances... kiss
Elon Musk simply told them the truth. If you want my sattelite to keep helping Ukrainile while being the target for Russian space focused assets like the Peresvet, then the government should pay millions for it monthly.

But that isn't what they wanted to hear.

The plan has always been to diminish Russia's military capability and the Ukrainian debacle is the closest shot USA got in so many years. By the time this war is over, Russia military sphere would have been seriously curtailed. I doubt they will ever be the same again. This same tactics was used to dismantle USSR and I am so surprised Putin fell for it.
Sorry, the war just enhanced Russia's military capabilities more while draining the west more. There is a reason why the Russkies aren't leveling Ukraine to the ground. Russia has all the resources to sustain a long haul.

This oligarchy thing that is being bandied as a Russian thing is so wrong.

The Russian business men and billionaires have barely little to no say in the control of govt. If anything, those guys are in the firm grip of FSB and FSB controls them mostly.

The country where oligarchy exists is the USA , because it is the business men and billionaires there that control the govt and decide on what policies they should pass. They disguise it as lobbying grin

In summary, Contrary to what the western media tells you, the west is being control by powerful oligarchs, but Russia is not.
You just educated a lot of misinformed people here. Kudos.

I believe the country that poses more threats to the US is Russia, militarily. China on the other hand pose more threat to the US economically. Russia is the only anti-west country in the world that can challenge the US and without fear, openly send military support to any country invaded by US or a country with which the US is fighting a proxy. China, India, Iran, North Korea don't have the balls to challenge USA that was why the US had to trap Russia down first. China should get prepared as the US is planning to make it a pariah and Taiwan will be another Ukraine.
This is the first time you said something both reasonable and factually verifiable. Kudos. cool

Zelensky is doing the work of Biden, sacrificing his citizens for a total unnecessary war and as usual Europe foolishly joins the Americans even at the detriment of their economies.
Like you said the only option now for Zelensky is to negotiate. If not things would get worse for him and his country, that's if he even cares about Ukraine.
The man has serious mental and comprehension issues. It's pathetic how he was so willing to use his country as a battle ground for great powers to test their abilities.

Do you want to see how bleeped up western air defense is? See the video below
https://t. me/Slavyangrad/14000
It's true. Today, Ukraine's anti air missiles are now falling to the ground in droves. Some experts suspect the Russians might have adopted some form of electronic warfare system, which I really cannot corroborate. Ukraine rapidly need to come up with something tangible or they're doom to these long range strikes. The call for different anti air missile launchers from the west would only make matter worse.

Having a different mix of anti air defense system is absolute disaster. Each system comes with their own components, and to get them to work without interfering with one another is a nightmare, not to mention the logistics of the different ammunitions.

grin Zelensky has been quiet since the recent bombardment of Ukraine. I pity Ukraine.

The war just started, winter is coming, very soon Europe would abandon Ukraine and focus on the growing dissent in their various countries.
Massive protest is now rocking Europe, but the media is doing their best not to show it to people.

With winter, which is just a month away, things will really get awry for Ukraine. How I which the man can just negotiate and forget about this crisis.

Uprightness100:
North Korea has officially enshrined the right to use preemptive nuclear strikes to protect itself in a new law that leader Kim Jong Un said makes its nuclear status “irreversible” and bars denuclearisation talks, state media reported on Friday (9 September).

The move comes as observers say North Korea appears to be preparing to resume nuclear testing for the first time since 2017, after historic summits with then-US President Donald Trump and other world leaders in 2018 failed to persuade Kim to abandon his weapons development.
The North’s rubber-stamp parliament, the Supreme People’s Assembly, passed the legislation on Thursday as a replacement to a 2013 law that first outlined the country’s nuclear status, according to state news agency KCNA.

(EURACTIV)
Everything is shaping in line with prophecy. The world is budding to experience a third birth pang.

Uprightness100:
The Ukrainian Ministry of Energy announced that Russia had wiped out a third of the country's electricity production facilities within two days.

The attack on the Crimea bridge is already costing Ukraine a lot, and it serves as a pretext for the Russians to wipe out the infrastructure there.
That was the reason they brought in Sukovin, the General named the Butcher of Aleppo. That man is a specialists in destroying Infrastructure. Well, Ukraine asked for it. But honestly, I don't think it was Zelensky that ordered the hit in the Crimea bridge, I think it was NATO command officers who wants to test Russia's line of patience and response. This guys are just using Ukraine to gauge Russia's capabilities. It's a pity that Zelensky played along. But prophecy must be fulfilled...like Alois Irlmaier said, "the third world war would start from an unlikely source".

I'm beginning to look at Ukraine with bated breath. Except that Ukraine isn't in the Balkans.

So Russia cannot defeat Ukraine alone .
Ukrainian army has already been defeated long ago. What you're seeing now is NATO regulars in the command chain and many of their troops on ground camouflaged as mercenaries. Meanwhile, Ukraine is supported by more than 70 military satellites and 200 civilian satellites like some of the Starlink satellites Russia just disabled. Every sane thinking person knew that Russia is fighting NATO in Ukraine. There is a reason why the Russians have been taking this methodical so far.

All these fools. So the Ukrainian attack on crimean bridge is not an attack on civilians. Honestly I feel sorry for Putin. The guy truly loves the Ukrainians and perhaps that's his main weakness. Even though he knew how important it was to defeat ukraine he wanted to do it with the least possible casualty and in doing that, endangered his own people. I believe he would have been deposed by the more hawkish Russian elite if he hadn't stepped up the campaign like this.
Putin's mother is Ukrainian.

what?

do you have proof of what you are saying?

Russia and China not only supplied weapons and fighters to Vietnam, but they also trained the Vietcong and the US had more nukes that Russia and china combined at that point so if they wanted to nuke Vietnam, there was nothing Russia or china could have done
Are you aware that the US did used chemical bombs in Vietnam?

Russia can't use all these big missiles (strategic missiles) against Ukraine. They will likely use tactical missile equipped with nuclear warheads e.g Iskander-M ballistic missile, Kalibr cruise missiles, Oniks e.t.c
That's exactly what I mean. Deploying those missiles means they could possibly target locations beyond the war theatre. It's getting crazier.

The U.S. and its allies (NATO) will destroy all Russian troops and equipment on the territory of Ukraine, and will sink the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation if Russia uses nuclear weapons against Ukraine.

This one will be the first to run into a bunker.
