“JUST-RELEASED: In further written questioning, Sen. Warner asks Tulsi if she was aware that the foundation that paid $20000 for her trip to Italy is chaired by Pierre Louvrier, a Russian oligarch-connected businessman.
Tulsi says she doesn’t recall.
Warner follows up by saying Louvrier’s assets in Russia are literally on his Wikipedia page.
Tulsi says she doesn’t recall.”
Collins caving. Young caving. Cassidy caving.

Most of them borrowed from friends and family. They don't want to pay about 25% in interest to the bank.

Amazing how easy these critters cave in.
“In December, for the first time in 2.5 years, Russians (citizens) paid off more debts than they borrowed”
This could be an indicator that the consumer is tapped out, and pulling their horns in.
That would put downward pressure on the economy (GDP), but also tend to help dampen inflation.

Wow, good knock.
A significant number of Russian vessels that had been at the Port of Tartus in recent weeks may have left Syria for Russia as Russian-Syrian negotiations about Russia's continued access to its bases in Syria reportedly continue. Kremlin Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov claimed on February 3 that Russian and Syrian authorities will continue contacts on “all issues,” including about Russia's continued access to the Port of Tartus.[17] Data from MarineTraffic.com showed that the Russian Sparta and Sparta II cargo ships were off the coast of Tunisia on February 4.[18] OSINT analyst MT Anderson posted satellite imagery from the morning of February 4 showing thе Sparta and Sparta II, as well as potentially the Alexander Otrakovsky Ropucha-class landing ship, the Admiral Golovko Admiral Gorshkov-class frigate, and the Admiral Grigorovich Grigorovich-class frigate off the coast of Tunisia.[19] Satellite imagery and reports from Ukraine's Main Military Intelligence Directorate (GUR) indicated that all these vessels had been at the Port of Tartus in December 2024 and January 2025.[20] The departure of a significant number of vessels from the Port of Tartus suggests that the Kremlin is not optimistic about the results of ongoing Russian-Syrian negotiations. The location of the vessels off the coast of Tunisia also suggests that these ships are not bound for Libya despite the fact that Russia sent some assets from Syria to Libya by air in December 2024 and January 2025 - as the Critical Threats Project's (CTP) Africa File previously reported.[21] The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense's Resistance Center reported on February 4 that Russian ships began evacuating weapons from the Port of Tartus on January 27, and satellite imagery collected on January 18 and 27 showed that the Russian military had loaded equipment onto the Sparta and Sparta II at Tartus.[22] The Ukrainian Resistance Center noted that the Sparta II turned off its automatic identification system (AIS) after leaving Syria - a common practice among ships in Russia's “shadow fleet.”[23]
Ukrainian naval drone strikes have likely forced Russia to dramatically alter Russian ships’ routes between Russia and Syria. The Ukrainian Resistance Center posted video evidence showing that it had gained access to the “Mosaik” system, an internal system that Russia reportedly uses to track Russian ship routes and cargo.[24] Data from the “Mosaik” system shows that the Sparta IV traveled between Tartus, Syria, and Novorossiysk, Krasnodar Krai via the Dardanelles and Bosphorus in April 2023. The Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD)’s Oboronlogistika logistics company owns the Sparta, Sparta II, and Sparta IV cargo ships.[25] The Ukrainian Resistance Center reported that Russian vessels stopped traveling between Russia and Syria via the Black Sea in Spring 2024, likely due to the threat of Ukrainian naval drone strikes in the Black Sea.[26] Russian ships instead reportedly started traveling from Russian ports in the Baltic Sea to Syria via the Atlantic Ocean despite the fact that this route is several times longer than the Black Sea route. The appearance of Russian vessels in the Mediterranean Sea on February 4 is consistent with reports that Russian ships are now traveling between Syria and Russia via the Atlantic.
Russia has also reportedly used vessels belonging to the MoD’s Oboronlogistika company to monitor NATO vessels in the Baltic Sea. The Ukrainian Resistance Center reported that it gained access to correspondence between an unspecified branch of the Russian Administration of Sea Ports and the Sparta's captain in which Russian authorities asked the Sparta and Sparta II to monitor Latvian patrol ships in the Baltic Sea off the western coast of Latvia in April 2023.[27] NATO notably conducted its Aurora 23 exercise near Sweden in April and May 2024.[28]
A Kremlin-affiliated Russian milblogger claimed that Russian forces in the Siversk direction continue to struggle with systemic issues with field commanders filing false progress reports despite recent command changes.[97] The milblogger complained that Russian field commanders in the Siversk direction continue creating false reports that exaggerate or falsely represent Russian successes. The milblogger noted that the Russian military command changed the commander of the 3rd Combined Arms Army ([CAA], formerly 2nd Luhansk People's Republic Army Corps [LNR AC]) and the commanders of the 3rd CAA’s 7th, 85th, and 123rd motorized rifle brigades due to a recent scandal about false reports of Russian advances.[98] The milblogger claimed that the Russian military command did not change the leadership of the 3rd CAA’s 6th Motorized Rifle Brigade, which the milblogger claimed continues to conduct “suicidal,” attritional, infantry-led assaults with poorly-trained and poorly-supplied personnel.[99]

A $90 million (almost 1 billion rubles) bridge between Russia and the DPRK will be built by a loss-making company with four employees. The contractor for the contract ТоннельЮжСтрой. In 2023, it recorded a net loss of more than $500 thousand. The company has not completed major projects and does not even have its own website. The company must build the bridge by the end of 2026.
At least they have a bank account.
