Foreign Affairs › Re: Peskov: We Have Suffered Losses But Our Mission Is To Prevent World War III by Appleyard(m): 8:26pm On Apr 07, 2022
MangekyoAlt:
I'm seeing reports that elements of the Ukrainian army, mostly made up of Azov battalion defending mariupol have almost completely been annihilated. It is said that Russian troops along with DPR/LPR fighters are carefully cleaning mariupol, leaving no block or house unchecked as they do not want to let any Nazi Azov element leave mariupol without being in a body bag. All attempts to evacuate azov commanders tooo by air have been thwarted by Russian troops
If zelensky knows what is good for him, he should surrender now before it becomes too late.
They have made five attempts to evacuate Azov commanders from the besieged Mariupol city center, on each occasions, the helos were destroyed. There are rumors that some high level foreign personnel are on ground in the remaining Azov. That may explain why they keep trying to evacuate even though the helicopters were being shot down.

Greece officially cut ties with Russia. The Russian Army continues to destroy oil plants. The results of the air-cosmic forces of Russia on the base for storage of Ukrainian fuels and lubricants in the newly cloudy district of the Dnipropetrov region.

The West is now banning anyone who goes against the narrative on Twitter. And New York Times confirmed the authenticity of the Ukrainian army massacre of the Ukrainian army over the wounded Russian soldiers.

The recording shows how Ukrainian soldiers fire a few shots on a man who gave signs of life, probably a Russian soldier, who lies on the road. Bodies of visible bodies are visible next to him. As listed a sheet, the recording was made on March 30 during the withdrawal of Russian troops from Kiev.

Something is brewing, seeing Obama in the White House reeks of something...
Something big is definitely brewing in the horizonn over Ukraine. I can feel it.

Belarus? Putin said "unfriendly" countries.
Belarus wasn't listed among them which means they are hungary are doing it anyway to help the Russian ruble rise again. Good one.
If India and China can do the same, hmm I wonder what would become of the dollar
Belarus is doing it out of kind gesture, which is going to be a precedent to other nations that has no beef with Russia. For instance, the likes of Syria, Iran, Brazil, Egypt and Algeria which buys arms from Russia might just follow suit. After all, it's easy that way since they're under sanctions or threat of US sanctions for buying Russian arms. This is very strategic.

Foreign Affairs › Re: Gazprom Has Started Gas Supplies To China by Appleyard(m): 4:10pm On Apr 06, 2022
Russia has a 400 billion dollars gas/pipeline deal with China. Once every aspect of that deal is complete, the Russians will not even need to wait for the EU to find alternative, they will just channel all of the gas to China whose population dwarfed the whole of Europe. The EU can then go and get their much talked about LNG at 6 times the price of what they're currently getting from Russia.

Food don done.

A great reset is about to happen globally, courtesy of the Russians and counter sanctions. If this trend scales through, it would mark the death of the petrol dollars as other nations would start following suit.

The Russians have said they won't stop just with oil and gas; they plan on taking it to all exported commodities, which include weapons sales, wheat sales, metals, and all other commodities sold by Russia. This is going to be a game changer. The US overplayed its hand this time, and have just sanctioned the place of the dollar as world reserve currency.

No wonder Obama had to to rush to the White House recently where he called Biden the "Vice President". grin They have already conclude plans to remove him.

Adieu petrol dollars cool.

Adieu western bullying. cool

The Russians are coming. cool cool
Foreign Affairs › Hungary And Belarus Agree To Pay For Russian Gas In Rubles by Appleyard(op): 3:50pm On Apr 06, 2022
Hungary has broken ranks with the European Union, saying it will accept Moscow's demand that gas supplies be paid for in rubles.

Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who has opposed any EU sanctions on Russian oil and gas or Western arms shipments through Hungarian territory to Ukraine, told journalists on April 6 that he had agreed with Russian President Vladimir Putin that if asked, Hungary would pay for gas shipments using the Russian currency.

Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto: "This is not our war, so we want to and will stay out of it."

In retaliation for Western sanctions imposed because of Russia's unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, Putin has warned Europe that it must pay for gas supplies in rubles or face a possible cut in supplies.

The EU has said it won't abide by Russia's demand as it is a breach of contract since payment was agreed upon in euros.

Earlier on April 6, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said gas contracts were between his country and Russia, and that the EU had "no role" to play in the deal.

EU countries rely on Russia for about one-third of the bloc's total gas supplies. It has yet to apply any sanctions on oil or gas from Russia, though European Council chief Charles Michel said on April 6 that measures on the sector will be needed "sooner or later."

Belarus, Moscow's longtime ally, agrees to pay for Russian gas and oil in rubles.

Belarus is bordered by Ukraine, Poland, Latvia and Lithuania. Any trans-border travel from Russia through Belarus cannot proceed to the rest of Europe except through the aforementioned countries.
I pointed out Belarus because you omitted it. Besides, Belarus shares border with Ukraine. That aside, there are many border fronts linking Russia to Europe, the three Baltic states aside.

It takes just 11hrs to drive from Saint Petersburg to Finland. 29hrs to drive from Russia to Sweden.

What they are doing to this man is not fair at all. This man should be in an elderly house. And Obama insulting Joe by calling him the vice president (though he said it was a joke) just shows that Joe was never the one pulling the strings in the White House. They are just using him

And leaving him to wander about in without any staff attending to him is not only shameful but inhuman. huh

I find it hard to believe that high level NATO officers would allow themsleves to be stuck in a besieged city in such a way. If true we are dealing with an incredible level of incompetence.

Ukraine already tried to evacuated some important people in there but Russia military have shot down 5 helicopters that tried.
2 was shot down today.
If they keep making that consistent attempt, that tells you they have something even more bigger among the besieged Azovstan forces in that city. There are some bigger elements there.

You mean doctored satellite images. What do you think you know about satellite images grin. Is it the one you see on Crook Nuisance Network CNN and their co liars? . I studied computer science and machine learning program in The University of Houston texas. Currently living in Canada. We over here know the truth. Most of us don't follow mainstream narrative . All images can be manipulated. Tech is so advanced now that i can even edit your image into a video and make it look like you robbed a bank. By the way has the Nigerian ASUU called of the strike yet grin
Let's even assume for once that those satellite images are real, the satellite said Russians left the place 2 weeks ago, don't you think the bodies must have decomposed by now? But behold, we have freshly-looking bodies, and a dog even strolled by without reacting to the odour of decomposing bodies. This is laughable. But whatever, they have gotten what they wanted all the same. They succeeded in getting emotional response from the crazy EU member stated.

This war isn't going to be over so soon. We are going to see more turning points in the coming weeks.

The satellite pictures they claimed were taken two weeks ago. Boy, are you telling me that bodies would be lying there for a whole two weeks without decomposing? grin

These guys are crazy!

The bodies are very fresh, and one even shook slightly.

Lmao. A dog passed by without reacting to a supposedly decomposing bodies? cool This is absurd.

Russia doesn’t have the capability to cut off the countries you named from the rest of Europe.
Russia wouldn’t dare try his bullying with those three Baltic states because they are ALL NATO members.
He picked on Ukraine because it is not a member and he thought it would be an easy conquest.
Contrary to what you wanted to believe, Russia has the immense capability to cut of the three Baltic states from the rest of Europe. They said it themselves.

"While an imminent attack on the Baltics seems unlikely, the three countries worry about Russia’s ability to cut them off from the rest of Europe via the Suwalki gap, the narrow 65km Polish-Lithuanian border, seen as one of Nato’s most vulnerable points. To the west lies the heavily weaponised Russian exclave of Kaliningrad; to the east is Belarus." See the map below.

VictorUSA:
Appleyard, isn't it funny that you're going against the media while at thesame time backing your so-called independent reasoning from what you saw on media? To make things worse, you believe in conspiracy theory.

How did u know that UN inspected iraq and established they never had WMDs? How did u know that the U.S bombed 500,000 iraqis? How did you know that the U.S invaded iraq because it stop selling oil using dollars? Were you there inspecting iraqi weaponry stockpile? Did you count the death people during the invasion? Did the U.S or Saddan tell you that the invasion of iraq was because iraq stop selling its oil in dollars?

Why do you people condemn the media by reading what you see on the same media and think you're reasoning independently? How would you know that there's war in another country if not when the media tells you?

My point is, what you think is independent is heavily reliant on media.You reason from ur perspective base on what u see on media and at the end the media controls u.
You talk like a kid, sorry, no insult intended.

Did I ask you not to read news or get info from news media? You can't do without media information in the 21st century. But the ability to sieve truth from falsehood is what makes the difference while getting info from media sources. This is what many of you lack.

Oh, that the US lied about Iraq having weapons of mass destruction which they never had, and which the US never produced is conspiracy theory? Sorry, I give up.

I am not an economist, though I am a massive fan of the free market and have a love for economics in general. My favorite magazine since I was 17 has been the Economist magazine.

Trust me, no matter how much you cheer the Russian economy, it will be severely hurt by sanctions. The previous sanctions imposed in 2014 after the annexation of Crimea had limited damaging effect on its economy and slowed its growth.

Putin, then, chose to implement economic reforms that would insulate the economy from the effects of further sanctions in the future. It built massive foreign reserves of $600bn for example which was one of the cushions. Unfortunately for Putin, he did not know that the sanctions the West would heap on it in the wake of the invasion would be so draconian.

It is best you listen to professionals. There are also 2 university-trained economists here on Nairaland, omohayek, and 4play who can lecture you on the true effects the sanctions will have on the Russian economy.

I have also placed some links below

https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2022/3/31/russias-post-invasion-political-economy

https://www.cnbc.com/2022/03/18/russia-central-bank-keeps-rates-at-20percent-but-warns-of-considerable-uncertainty.html
The point is that sanctions cannot cripple a country like Russia. This is obvious already.
