Putin is confirming his Axis of Allies Russia, China, Iran and North Korea. He has lost Syria to a joint Turkey-USA move. He wants to keep this alliance together.

Very much expanded view of Russian Energy exports through 12/2024. Also commentary on plugging loopholes etc.

Also, there is zero indication that the rest of the Russian economy is expanding exports to make up for losses in oil&gas.

Interesting, three countries that we rightly consider enemies. I guess adding Russia, with the world’s largest nuclear arsenal, to those 3 enemies is considered an ACCOMPLISHMENT, at least in the Neocon World.

God help us.
