There are currently two wars that Russia is fighting: the kinetic one in Ukraine that receives all the attention—or at least received all the attention before the Gaza Crisis—and a financial one that remains relatively unnoticed. This hidden economic crisis is actually more important and relevant, and how Putin decides to address it will determine the outcome of the war on the field.
Interesting analysis..
Last week’s chatter of police hauling off non-Russians (having work-visas) to ‘volunteer’ for the war....likely will disturb some key operations. Think I read that last year...near half-a-million non-Russians employed.
Ours is not doing so great either. Once the “debt bomb” explodes, watch out!
Now the US needs to open up Keystone and resume drilling and drive the price of oil through the floor. That will finish off Russia and Iran for at least a generation.
Biden will never allow that to happen.
Keep an eye on China too. Huge developments built on loans are being foreclosed because they aren’t generating revenue.
Since the war began, we have been hearing that sanctions haven’t had much impact at all on the Russian economy. So what gives?
“ Biden will never allow that to happen.”
Right. Republican campaign ad.
I wonder when we will start rounding up military aged illegal aliens and ship them to the Ukraine? Most of the young men Inhave talked to about this have told me that they will not go. This is in Wyoming, one of the states with previously high rates of military service. That is one reason the MIC is having a recruiting problem.
Joe Blogs is reporting “CHINA $3 Trillion Contagion Risk as Shadow Banking Giant Zhongzhi Files for Bankruptcy”.
Russia is a gas station. They generate fuel; including nuclear. Russia just simply moved from western customers to China and India. There may be a shortage of eggs. They have switched from egg suppliers. All in all Russia is about the same as always. A crummy place to live.
“Now the US needs to open up Keystone and resume drilling and drive the price of oil through the floor. That will finish off Russia and Iran for at least a generation.”
We need to ramp up oil and gas production in any event.
It is the perfect site for Zeepers.
“Since the war began, we have been hearing that sanctions haven’t had much impact at all on the Russian economy. So what gives?”
Check the sources. If they are pro-Russia sources, they deny that the sanctions have any negative impact; indeed, they claim just the opposite, that the sanctions were a boon to the Russian economy.
It’s how the propaganda war is played; and always has been. All sides play the game.
The BEST Ukrainian/Intelligence/WEF
propaganda to get Zeepers through the day!
There may be a shortage of eggs.

Now there a shortage of chickens - bird flu blamed ...
And China’s economy is collapsing even as five percent growth in GDP is projected for the second year in a row. I read the BBC stuff all the time.
Who will God choose as our new leaders?
