ken6488:
oo you expected Russia to sell gas in a hostile currency


So it will be stolen in the name of sanctions
Hostile currency? Stolen?

Please explain to me as if I am still a toddler how the euros paid directly to Russian central bank would be stolen from same Russian central bank?

Last time I checked, it was only USA which sanctioned Russia and by extension others from dealing with Russia using DOLLARS. No sanctions are on the Euro.

Oya explain it to me as if I am a toddler. I am waiting with my writing pad

The countries laying sanctions upon sanctions upon Russia, you do not think that's breaching of numerous contracts too?
The question is, "is it breeching this PARTICULAR contract which has been executed?"

Mr Man go sit down, if you don't understand basic economics jus pass, you're the dumb one here
See dumbo equating a cross country business contract to economics cheesy

Has EU breeched the contract? The contract terms were defined in EUROS and not Rubles and BOTH PARTIES signed off on it which made it binding.

In your extremely dumb mind one party would just wake up and unilaterally cancel or want to ammend the contract without the approval of the one paying?

Is Russia the one paying or the one rendering service? What is the business of the receiver of monies with how they are paid? That is the absolute prerogative of the payee as agreed by the receiver.

The contract got broken the moment they sanctioned Russia foreign reserve
I see that you have a personal copy of the contract between Russia and the EU nations they supply gas to. And in it you saw "sanctions to Russian foreign reserves would be regarded as a breech of this contract to supply you Russian gas"

It's not even up to the amount they spend in servicing the lease of a US base.

The amount they will make in five years in Nigeria can pay more than half of it.

Foreign AffairsRussian Soldiers Suffer Acute Radiation Sickness In Ukraine by Igbofam(op): 5:08pm On Mar 31, 2022
Several hundred Russian soldiers were forced to hastily withdraw from the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine after suffering “acute radiation sickness” from contaminated soil, according to Ukrainian officials.

The troops, who dug trenches in a contaminated Red Forest near the site of the worst nuclear disaster in history, are now reportedly being treated in a special medical facility in Gomel, Belarus. The forest is so named because thousands of pine trees turned red during the 1986 nuclear disaster. The area is considered so highly toxic that not even highly specialized Chernobyl workers are allowed to enter the zone.

Energoatom, the Ukrainian agency in charge of the country’s nuclear power stations, said the Russian soldiers had panicked and fled.

“It has been confirmed that the occupiers who seized the Chernobyl nuclear power plant and other facilities in the Exclusion Zone set off in two columns towards Ukraine’s border with Belarus. The occupiers announced their intentions to leave the Chernobyl nuclear power plant this morning to the Ukrainian personnel of the station," ]the agency said in a statement on Telegram, adding that a small number of Russians still remained at the facility.

The agency said it had also confirmed reports of Russian forces digging trenches in the Red Forest, “the most polluted in the entire exclusion zone.”

“Not surprisingly, the occupiers received significant doses of radiation and panicked at the first sign of illness. And it showed up very quickly.”

Local reports suggest that seven buses with the zapped troops arrived in Gomel early Thursday. Journalists on the ground have also reported “ghost buses” of dead soldiers being transported from Belarus to Russia under the cover of dark.

U.S. intelligence reported Wednesday that Russian forces began withdrawing from the defunct site. Russia said the withdrawal from Chernobyl was part of a pledge to scale back the invasion. But Ukrainian media says it is actually because the troops were “irradiated” from the contaminated soil.

"Another batch of Russian irradiated terrorists who seized the Chernobyl zone was brought to the Belarusian Radiation Medicine Center in Gomel today,” Yaroslav Yemelianenko, who works for the Public Council at the State Agency of Ukraine for Exclusion Zone Management, posted on Facebook. “There are rules for dealing with this territory.”

The Chernobyl facility fell to Russian control on Feb. 24, the first day of the invasion. Workers were on duty for more than 600 hours before being allowed a shift change. International concern grew immediately when Russian troops moved heavy military hardware through the area, kicking up radioactive dust without any protective equipment. Forest fires in the area also raised concern about environmental contamination.

Digging trenches in the forest—considered the most contaminated area of the site—drew widespread ridicule from Ukrainians who work at the site.

The debacle is the latest in a series of missteps by the Russian troops struggling to keep their footing in their increasingly failed war.

Foreign AffairsGermany Offers Ukraine A List Of Weapons. Asks Them To Choose What They Want. by Igbofam(op): 8:19pm On Mar 30, 2022
The federal government wants to offer Ukraine further weapon systems as soon as possible in order to strengthen resistance against the Russian army. According to SPIEGEL information, a round of state secretaries from the departments involved agreed on Tuesday to offer the government in Kiyv a list of various weapon systems in the next few days. After that, Ukraine should then decide for itself which weapons it can use [b]best.

Shortly after the start of the war, the defense department asked the German armaments industry behind the scenes which weapon systems could be delivered quickly. From the feedback, Minister Christine Lambrecht 's ( SPD ) department has now created an Excel list with more than 200 positions. Almost all well-known German armaments manufacturers appear on it, but also many small suppliers who want to quickly deliver weapons for the Ukraine and could do so.[/b]


What is new about the idea is that the planned deliveries are no longer systems from Bundeswehr stocks , but freshly produced weapons that could be sent directly to Ukraine. It is not yet clear how the deals will be settled. The EU had set up a budget of one billion euros, from which the member states can finance arms deliveries to Ukraine. So far, however, Germany has probably not used the EU pot.


Germany wants to offer mortars and machine guns

The Bundeswehr itself has already delivered anti-tank and anti-aircraft missiles, some from old NVA stocks. But now the troops are hardly in a position to do without further material. 500 rocket-propelled grenades plus 1,000 rounds of ammunition, 500 Stinger anti-aircraft missiles and 2,000 Strela missiles from GDR stocks have already arrived in the Ukraine. It was also announced last week that the Bundeswehr intends to sell 2,000 more rocket-propelled grenades.

However, the Excel list now makes it clear that almost all concerns about arms deliveries to Ukraine have now disappeared. In addition to a lot of protective material, there is also heavy war equipment such as mortars or heavy machine cannons of the type GAM B01 from the manufacturer Rheinmetall. According to the manufacturer's offer, the heavy weapon should cost a good one million euros per piece. But the six machine guns are more or less immediately available and do not require much training.

Foreign AffairsSlovakia Expels 35 Russian Diplomats by Igbofam(op): 5:11pm On Mar 30, 2022
Slovakia, a member of the European Union, said Wednesday it had decided to expel 35 Russian diplomats based on information provided by intelligence services.

The move comes a day after fellow EU countries Belgium, the Netherlands, Ireland and the Czech Republic all announced the expulsion of dozens of Russian diplomats suspected of spying, in coordinated action taken in the shadow of Moscow's war in Ukraine.

Other countries, including the United States and Poland, had earlier also expelled Russian diplomats.

Slovakia will "reduce the staff of the Russian embassy in Bratislava by 35," foreign ministry spokesman Juraj Tomaga told AFP.

"We regret that following the previous expulsions of Russian diplomats in the last couple of years, the Russian diplomatic mission has not shown any interest in operating correctly in Slovakia," he added.

Slovakia had already expelled three Russian diplomats for espionage earlier this month.

In August 2020, Bratislava also expelled three Russian diplomats for "a serious crime," with local media reporting a possible link with the killing of a former Chechen rebel in a Berlin park.

Two years ago, local media reports said there were up to 45 officially recognised Russian diplomats in Slovakia. It is unclear how many remain today.

Foreign AffairsUkraine Appears To Strike Back. Suspected Ukrainian Missile Hits Russian Camp by Igbofam(op): 3:30pm On Mar 30, 2022
Footage has emerged of a huge explosion in Belgorod, western Russia, at the site of a suspected arms depot which is believed to have been hit by a Ukrainian missile.

The blast, which took place a mere 12 miles from the Russian-Ukrainian border near the village of Krasniy Oktyabr just outside the city of Belgorod, triggered a series of firework-like explosions which could be seen from Ukraine tonight.

Ukrainian journalist Yuriy Butusov claimed that the depot was destroyed by an OTR-21 Tochka-U ballistic missile fired by the Ukrainian 19th missile brigade, though this has not yet been confirmed by Ukrainian officials.

If the missile strike is confirmed by Ukraine's armed forces, it will be just the second Ukrainian strike on Russian territory since the start of the war after the Millerovo airbase was attacked in late February.

The Governor of Belgorod Vyacheslav Gladkov confirmed reports of the explosion and said that 4 Russian soldiers were injured, but refused to shed any light on the reason for the blast.

'Explosions were heard on the territory of Belgorod and the Belgorod region,' Gladkov said.

'The incident took place near the village of Krasniy Oktyabr. The head of the village is in direct contact with me and has given me all the information. There are no casualties or injuries among the residents.'

'I'll post the reason for this later,' he added.

However, Russian news agency TASS reported that four Russian military personnel were injured and said preliminary reports suggested the explosion was caused by a Ukrainian missile.

'The shell hit the territory of a temporary military camp in the Belgorod region. Four servicemen were injured,' an emergency services source told TASS.

Ok how will they be able to manufacture the technology in such scale that it will be able to provide for the whole of Europe, Europe that has an astronomically large power consumption, we haven't even dealt with cost, availability, manufacturability, and commissioning of such technology . Can all that will be done in two months. Anything dealing with nuclear energy has no margin for error. It's not about just getting it right, it about making sure it never goes wrong, do you know how many more months of trail and error it has to take even if the technology does work.

I remain pragmatic, because it will be impossible to do dat in triple of that time frame. You can't just applied new tech because it worked a few times
It is not Nuclear energy bro. I only referenced Nuclear energy in terms of power output.

Regarding handling the power need of Europe and the world is the easiest part.

Like I said it is designed as a plug and play approach and can simply be plugged into any national grid after being scaled up to the power needs of that country.

It can even be scaled up in such a way that it can provide power to 2 countries at the same time (if they want it that way. This is majorly for African countries).

Regarding your second question, it has been tested already for 4yrs and power remained constant and renewable.

They say the power can only stop if someone turns it off. In other words it can keep generating forever.

So tests have already been done. Those who are now funding want to see the confirmation of these tests which is why they are funding it.

Once confirmation is done as was documented. Roll out begins and would first be implemented in the country where the funder is from with the full support of the country (which is already aware and working closely with my guys)

So our job was to get them a funder with ties to Energy and National Militaries.
