You have a problem traveling with a Nigerian passport. Period!

gambojimeta:

Funniest joke I have heard this year.

If I visit Russia on a Nigerian passport, that passport is likely ruined if I decide to go to like say Disney world in Paris.

If I visit Russia on my other country passport, I may be remanded and investigated to check if I am a spy because it makes zero sense leaving western wages for Russia's less than $200 a month. I have our known of one western person that visited Russia on for vacation.

Teaching an elderly statesman, an etiquette? i.e remember to greet o! Ehn, and then you sit down quietly etc?

The hasty admission of Ukraine to the European Union may cause the collapse of the association, said Portuguese Prime Minister António Costa .
"In order to be taken seriously and be consistent, the EU needs a new institutional and budgetary architecture, under the fear that this integration will not strengthen the EU, but its collapse, not support for Ukraine, but a trap for Ukraine."

Bloomberg columnist Andreas Kluth wrote that if Ukraine is granted full membership in the European Union, this will cause many new problems. Note that Denmark and the Netherlands opposed the entry of Ukraine into the EU. Before that, The New York Times analysts named four reasons why Ukraine will not become a member of the European Union or NATO in the near future.

President Biden said Tuesday that there’s enough COVID relief funding to get through “at least this year,” but the administration needs more money for vaccines for children and “to plan for the second pandemic.”

After announcing plans to distribute COVID vaccines for kids five and under, which recently received FDA approval, the president was asked, “I know you’re looking for more money from Congress for this vaccine campaign and for COVID funding going into the fall.
“How much of the supply of vaccines for these small children is there and how many of the nation’s kids will you be able to get vaccinated before you need more money from Congress?” a reporter asked.

“We’ll get through at least this year. We do need more money, but we don’t just need more money for vaccines for children eventually.
We need more money to plan for the second pandemic. There’s going to be another pandemic,” Biden said.
“We have to think ahead, and that’s not something the last outfit did very well. That’s something we’ve been doing fairly well. That’s why we need the money,” the president said.

The BRICS countries are working on an initiative to create an international reserve currency based on a basket of national currencies, said Russian President Vladimir Putin.

"The issue of creating an international reserve currency based on a basket of currencies of our countries is being worked out," the Russian leader said in a greeting to the participants of the BRICS business forum.
In addition, block partners are developing reliable alternative mechanisms for international settlements. "The Russian financial messaging system is open for connecting banks from the five countries. The geography of using the Russian payment system Mir is expanding," the president added.

According to him, Russia is taking enhanced measures aimed at reducing the negative impact of sanctions and strengthening trade and investment ties with all interested states. At the same time, it tries to develop its own industry and financial system, provides social support to citizens, and expands entrepreneurial freedoms.

The President of Ukraine addressed the African Union on Monday, June 20. Among the 55 heads of the leaders of the countries of the continent who were invited to a video conference with the President of Ukraine, only four were personally present - the rest only delegated their representatives there.

In his appeal, Zelensky argued that "African countries have become hostages of the war unleashed by Russia" and therefore they feel the consequences of the blockade of the export of Ukrainian grain and sunflower oil. Zelensky assured African colleagues that official Kyiv is still looking for ways to resume supplies.

They are all frauds. The climate change - green agenda is a fraud

seunny4lif:
And Russia
Yeye green party won the election on fraud campaign using green energy
They fined Poland for not shutting the coal in Poland but now want to restart coal

You are aware that the "Green Party" is opposed to fossil fuels, coal, and so on?
That is the primary policy reason for the party's formation.
It's like a job party that is to blame for unemployment.

baralatie:
They are going to buy coal.from Poland

Stru

Drenimarcus:
They are still going to buy the coal from Russia

Germany has said the deteriorating gas market situation means Europe's largest economy must limit the use of natural gas for electricity production and burn more coal for a "transitional period."

‘The situation is serious’: Germany plans to fire up coal plants as Russia throttles gas supplies
Economy Minister Robert Habeck on Sunday warned that the situation is going to be "really tight in winter" without precautionary measures to prevent a supply shortage.
In light of that, Germany will seek to compensate for a cut in Russian gas supplies by increasing the burning of coal.
"That's bitter, but it's almost necessary in this situation to reduce gas consumption. We must and we will do everything we can to store as much gas as possible in summer and autumn," the Green Party's Habeck said in a statement.
"The gas storage tanks must be full in winter. That has top priority," he added.

If you're an actual student of history, you'd know the US has lost in major wars they took on by themselves.
They ran out of Vietnam and the scenes replayed themselves in Afghanistan many years later.
The invasion of Iraq, Libya, Somalia et al was not a test of the military might of the US Army.
The United States has the most powerful navy, but they stink at street battles and long-drawn-out military combat, so they carpet-bomb.
Russia, to its credit, surprised NATO, the US, and the EU when it began using long-range guided missiles launched from the sea to bomb targets [Western weapon stockpiles] in Ukraine.
That is the game-changer

Anthonyoz:
It really laughable to me when people make such argument that USA failed to capture Afghanistan ,

USA decimated Taliban government within a month and rule over Afghanistan for 20yrs ,and poeple ignorant of history is comparing USA army with Russia.

OMG! You picked up on it [ignorance is bliss/ People ooze ignorance from a distance] too?
Mehn!
I guess it was as plain as day

OhMyG0d:
Was it Russia that publicly or privately told you this, or you're just parroting what "UK intelligence" said?

Lol ... Oh! You expect Russia to carpet bomb and drop thousands of explosive on Ukraine, like the Hallmark of NATO and US? NO! They won't. You want to see Tupolevs, aerospace ballistics turn Ukraine to desert, no you won't.
I know they disappointed your wild expectation. This isn't American war style indiscriminate destruction, this is a Russian special military operation. EOD

You tell me.

Ignorance is bliss here. Lol. You can bask in euphoria, all you want, but it doesn't change the reality on ground. I don't need to mudsling with you, it's even a mistake that I did just that. And by the way, it is border and not boarders.

The Russian Federation has become the leader among all exporters of crude oil to China, followed by Saudi Arabia.
Moscow supplies "black gold" to China both by sea and via the Eastern Siberia-Pacific Ocean pipeline.
Such dynamics is motivated by a large discount provided by Russian suppliers to Chinese buyers due to massive sanctions against Russian oil exports.
Thus, the volume of oil imports from Russia in May 2022 amounted to about 8.42 million tons of fuel, which is equivalent to 1.98 million barrels per day. May figures, according to the agency, are 25% higher than in April.
India also significantly increased purchases of coal and oil from Russia despite sanctions
"Russian traders have been liberal with payment methods and accept payments in Indian rupees and United Arab Emirates dirhams. The discounts are attractive and this trend will continue," a source said.

Russia suspended the shipment of oil from Kazakhstan, which was exporting oil to Europe through the port of Novorossiysk. The reason is that mines from the Second World War were found in the Black Sea, which must be cleared.

After the mines were discovered, the port water area was closed, and the Caspian Pipeline Consortium, which supplies oil from Kazakhstan for export, was unable to send fuel to Europe. Starting today, work will be carried out to clear the port. It is expected that they can take about ten days.

Kazakhstan supplies about 67 million tons of oil to European countries through Russia. After imposing restrictions on Moscow, Nur-Sultan renamed the export grade Urals so that the raw material would not fall under sanctions. In addition, Kazakhstan, in connection with the anti-Russian sanctions of Europe, blocked 1,700 wagons with coal on its territory.

The stoppage of oil exports occurred against the backdrop of a statement by Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, who refused to recognize the independence of the DPR and LPR (he called them "quasi-states"). Tokayev also assured that the republic would implement anti-Russian sanctions.

The gall.
Anyways, reality hits like a mother-effer

Opolopoopolonio:
Anyway, I have successfully nulled this your thread. You can come up with something new.

Parenthesis on "All"

Opolopoopolonio:
Which of the points

Can't you see that at every given opportunity Putin has not failed to gnash his teeth about the biting sanctions, the latest being the Russian version of Davos...

Your points are all based on hope and not grounded in reality.

Opolopoopolonio:
All hail pro-Putin luuunatics!!!

Russia are running out of time in Ukraine and they know it.

It's a matter of time before the avalanche of sanctions on them start biting.

Very soon the EU and others will get alternatives to Russian oil and gas. They are seriously working on it.

We shall see how Russia will get money to fund the war indefinitely.

Putin is going down with this war for sure.

The UK(Ukraine's strongest backer) have an axe to grind with Russia and they are not giving up anytime soon

It's baffling to read from people who regurgitate MSM talking points. Slowly and surely, Ukraine is being taken piece by piece but its being painted as a struggle?
Everywhere in Ukraine that is conquered by Russia will never be given back to Ukraine.
Russia is aiming for Odesa, when that is done, Ukraine will be a land-locked piece of real estate without a port to import or export goods.

OgunLaakaye:
It’s June 20, 2022 and Russia still struggling with Ukraine!

Russia is just an overhyped shiithole!

The US is still in Somalia, they got kicked out by Afghans after so many years.
They have bases in North Africa[Niger], Southern Africa[Botswana], South Korea, and Japan, in cold Antarctica, you name it
Just like the US, Russia will remain in Ukraine until all its goals are met.

OgunLaakaye:
It still does not change the fact that as at 06/20/2022, Russia is still struggling with Ukraine.

Take it with a bowl of sugar because it's bitter
RT confirmed it, which makes it authentic in my own estimation
By the way, Russia is not Iraq, Libya or Somalia.
This is a war of attrition. Ukraine will be gradually broken down by Russia
Just like in Afghanistan, Russia was the first there, the US supplied Afghans with weapons and trained the Mujahadeens, in the end, Russia left and US got bogged down in fighting for several years by the same people they trained and armed.
You will cheer the US on, when they go in to fight "Nazis" in Ukraine and eastern-Europe

Kingpin1000:
When I see news like this I take it with a pinch of salt.. until my Telegram and other news outlets on twitter starts flooding with names and pictures of Generals killed that's when I will believe that number, the strike was made, and it was confirmed through geolocation but, we cannot ascertain the number of generals, when the strike was done yesterday.

Yep, Tell us "your truth" as you see it.
It can even be just one general as far as you're concerned.
Look, we can even pretend the strike never happened by memory-holing it
Whatever makes you sleep well at night, is fine and dandy with me

Kingpin1000:
Oga over 55 generals including officers, that's how I saw the news, it can be just 3-4 generals and the rest officers.

"Over 50 generals" can mean 55, 57, or 59, you know?

Kingpin1000:
Oga correct that headline, it is 55 officers including generals.
But the news has not be confirmed by pictures from both Mods.

Russian forces targeted a Ukrainian command post while senior Ukrainian military officers were holding a meeting, Russian Defense Ministry said. Moscow said they used sea-launched "Kalibr" rockets in the attack on the site near Dnipro, Ukraine's fourth-largest city.

"Over 50 generals and officers of Ukrainian military were eliminated in the strike" including members of the high command, said Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov.

The spokesman also said Russia destroyed a tank repair plant in Kharkiv as well as 10 howitzers and up to 20 military vehicles in Mykolaiv in separate missile strikes.

Putin said: "...the economy of mythical entities is inevitably being replaced by the economy of real values and assets."
Days of printing dollars and euros for exchange of goods are services are coming to an end.
Socialist Europe is going to get a wake up call

seunny4lif:
I read from both side and watch from both side.

Both are using propaganda but am telling whats going in Germany and Italy right now.

Green party claimed they want everything to be green but today Green party said German will restart coal power plants.
In Jan 2022, with just 150 euros, your baskets is full but as of today that same costed over 300 euros to buy.
German government introduced cheap transport till August as price of things are getting mad and fuel is now almost 3 euros per Liter.

The biggest mistake was Scholz choosing Green party instead of Armin Laschet from CDU/CSU.

The Italian government is seriously considering the prospect of introducing a state of emergency due to problems with gas supplies from the Russian Federation. This is reported by the local news agency ANSA.

As early as next week, from June 20, the Italian Ministry of Ecological Modernization and Transformation may raise the current level of warning in the field of energy supply to the level of "danger" if the reduction in Russian gas supplies continues. The department, however, stressed that the level of "danger" does not carry any non-market measures and provides for guarantees of supply from operators.

Local newspaper La Repubblica claims that the Italian cabinet is already working to reduce gas consumption. Thus, in the event of a shortage of fuel in cities, clear restrictions on the temperature and duration of heating or air conditioning of houses and public institutions will be established, as well as the lighting of streets and roads will be reduced.

Transcript: Putin’s Speech at SPIEF



Lately, I have been hearing more and more about the so-called – please excuse me, I really would not like to do this here, even mention my own name in this regard, but I cannot help it – we all hear about the so-called ‘Putin inflation’ in the West.
When I see this, I wonder who they expect would buy this nonsense – people who cannot read or write, maybe. Anyone literate enough to read would understand what is actually happening.

Russia, our actions to liberate Donbass have absolutely nothing to do with this. The rising prices, accelerating inflation, shortages of food and fuel, petrol, and problems in the energy sector are the result of system-wide errors the current US administration and European bureaucracy have made in their economic policies. That is where the reasons are, and only there.

I will mention our operation, too: yes, it could have contributed to the trend, but the root cause is precisely this – their erroneous economic policies. In fact, the operation we launched in Donbass is a lifeline they are grabbing at to be able to blame their own miscalculations on others, in this case, on Russia. But everyone who has at least completed primary school would understand the true reasons for today’s situation.

So, they printed more money, and then what? Where did all that money go? It was obviously used to pay for goods and services outside Western countries – this is where the newly-printed money flowed. They literally began to clean out, to wipe out global markets. Naturally, no one thought about the interests of other states, including the poorest ones. They were left with scraps, as they say, and even that at exorbitant prices.

While at the end of 2019, imports of goods to the United States amounted to about 250 billion dollars a month, by now, it has grown to 350 billion. It is noteworthy that the growth was 40 percent – exactly in proportion to the unsecured money supply printed in recent years. They printed and distributed money, and used it to wipe out goods from third countries’ markets.

This is what I would like to add. For a long time, the United States was a big food supplier in the world market. It was proud, and with good reason, of its achievements, its agriculture and farming traditions. By the way, this is an example for many of us, too. But today, America’s role has changed drastically. It has turned from a net exporter of food into a net importer. Loosely speaking, it is printing money and pulling commodity flows its way, buying food products all over the world.

The European Union is building up imports even faster. Obviously, such a sharp increase in demand that is not covered by the supply of goods has triggered a wave of shortages and global inflation. This is where this global inflation originates. In the past couple of years, practically everything – raw materials, consumer goods and particularly food products – has become more expensive all over the world.

Yes, of course, these countries, including the United States continue importing goods, but the balance between exports and imports has been reversed. I believe imports exceed exports by some 17 billion. This is the whole problem.

According to the UN, in February 2022, the food price index was 50 percent higher than in May 2020, while the composite raw materials index has doubled over this period.

Under the cloud of inflation, many developing nations are asking a good question: why exchange goods for dollars and euros that are losing value right before our eyes? The conclusion suggests itself: the economy of mythical entities is inevitably being replaced by the economy of real values and assets.

I totally agree

Drenimarcus:
His statements were powerful. A new era is here.

The United States calls on the EU states to ease anti-Russian sanctions, which imply a ban on oil cargo insurance, one way or another. This was reported by the Financial Times, citing sources in the US Cabinet.

The US is asking European capitals to lift their ban on insuring Russian oil cargo, arguing that this measure could lead to a sharp rise in world oil prices.
Part of the sixth package of European sanctions was a ban on enterprises and ships from the European Union to transport Russian oil or participate in transportation, incl. in the field of insurance. Thus, the EU imposed a ban on technical support, mediation and other financial services, including insurance, significantly complicating logistics.
