Claude Monet Meules 1890 • Pope Francis: Russian War In Ukraine Was ‘Perhaps Provoked’ (Pol.eu) • Russia Tells Sievierodonetsk Defenders To Sur
[See the full post at: Debt Rattle June 15 2022]Claude Monet Meules 1890
Absolutely stunning…I can see why it commanded a record price for an impressionist painting…
Not sure if this link is what I’m looking for. If it works it’s an interview from last evening’s news in N.S. The rate of admissions for kids with the flu is off the charts at The IWK children’s hospital in Halifax and can’t it’s a mystery as to why? I’ve a few thoughts on that! The interview starts @ 33:40 approx. Record numbers of emergency visits. Completely clueless, no offence honky!

Shame, shame, for the posters here at TAE…2 responses…both mine…upping my monthly donation to Raul’s hard work…
My total income per month is $1253 USD…that’s it!’
But, I manage to donate $25 USD every month for this gem of accurate information and freedom from censorship…
So, just what’s up with you’all???
I don’t get it… 🙁“TERRORIST ATTACK: Abortion activists firebomb Oregon pregnancy center in latest terror attack” (again)
Aaand the sky is blue.
“WHO to hold emergency meeting to determine if monkeypox represents int’l health emergency”
Better have ManBearPig by then. Gots to have a new scam to shake down new money and power.
“WHO Renames Monkeypox”
I vote for ManBearPig.
“a “wise man” — who told Francis” what to think.
That would be Kissinger. Said the Pope who showed up in a musclecar without his hat. (this was true, earlier this year. Probably all the coke and boyz he’s doing.)
“Russia’s all-out assault, which began in late February, was launched unilaterally, leaving thousands dead.”
Is there some other way to launch a war than “by yourself”? Are there wars where thousands don’t die? Heads of state do pistols at dawn in combat of champions or something?
““brutality and ferocity” of the Russian troops, and emphasizing “the heroism of the Ukrainian people.”
But he’s not picking sides or anything. Good and bad guys isn’t so simple as unilateral aggression vs pure heroism of the Ghost of Kiev he sez. Actually, I saw a movie promo “Ghost”, of fighter jets, so I know where the DoD got this PR hooey from. It’s the sort of thing they would watch and be aware of. It’s appropriate since it’s not real, all CGI, winning awards earlier this year. He shot down 10,000 (virtual) jets.
“Ukraine says more than 500 civilians are trapped alongside soldiers inside Azot,”
Everywhere else they are called “hostages”. Again, if they are actually civilians, all they have to do is wave a white flag and they’re safe. They haven’t, so that means they are being prevented by the soldiers, as in Mariupol. Neither the media nor the Pope will ever report this.
“Confidence in a national economic policy.”
DeSantis has a “GOP” foreign policy. That is, the policy of the long noses. Rhinos. We would have to see some help on that front, and if it hasn’t already changed…
Expect more approval for Israel bombing all their neighbors, right in the civilian infrastructure. (Public airports) Shooting foreign reporters regularly, and all that stuff. Hey, is Bennett a war of unnecessary aggression? On civilians? While a different country is occupying 1/3 of the nation, on top of the oil and pipelines, without an Act of War or even a theoretical premise?
Sanction those countries! Oh wait: we did. Sanctioned and collapsed ourselves.
Well that’s a pleasant change of pace. What do you mean the only reason they got punished was a pure accident? Surely the UN wouldn’t approve and would do something about it, wouldn’t they? Launch a biolab investigation or something?
“Biden’s “leadership on the world stage has been impressive.”
Or as Trevor Noah said, “Things are lookin’ up! Gas prices are up, food prices are up, unemployment is up…”
But really, why would they endorse him when he’ll be dead by then? Along with a bunch of the rest of us.
“Historic defeat? Or will mail-in ballots come to the rescue?”
They’re going to have to find a ManBearPig to stop this. Since it doesn’t have to be real, like the Ghost, or kill anyone under 80, like CV19 didn’t, it should be pretty easy. If it’s a lie, you can count on 100% public support.
“ Biden’s Summit of No-Shows (Lawrence)”
Bringing people together. In unity against him.
“a startlingly swift decline in American power everywhere other than Western Europe”
Yay! Biden is ending the empire. We’re winning.
“Bruh I was gonna exit today too RIP.”
This isn’t unique to crypto. The casinos are rigged everywhere else too. Stocks, bonds, GameStop, SEC specifically targeting the board, Real Estate, MERS and foreclosing on houses they don’t even hold paperwork on. Universal corruption. Universal lack of all rule of law. How amateur do you need to be to play the game without looking at the rules or the Ref enforcing them? You have better odds and more honesty in a casino. …Where even there, if you “Win” at all they’ll call you a “Card counter” and escort you out.
SEC head says, “Hey, the Reddit Rubes aren’t supposed to win! Only my donors and golfing pals are allowed to win.” Yeah, there have been what, three BTC crashes since Coinbase and 100% of the time they locked the doors when the fire broke out? Bravo points out that, as a trader, they locked the door when he sold at $19K before the last $20k high. It took weeks to get them to clear a sale by then crashed to $17k. Nope! You’re not allowed to profit. Computer says no. Our algorithm allows only censored speech and losing trades.
That said, here’s the only question that matters: Will crypto — BTC, ETH — cease to exist, or will they continue?
If they continue, the price is up. If they are put in an NFT museum, the price is near-zero. So the future has them exist, being a national currency of El Salvador and Central Africa, closing oil and balance of trade accounts with Russia, Iran, and Uruguay, or are they all full of it?
“Here’s the problem with companies whose hype-and hoopla stocks have collapsed by 80% or 90%: They’re facing an existential crisis.”
This is most of the companies in a Free-Money, all-printing economy. Every terrible idea that will create no return, like Lemonade, Carvana, WeWork, gets financed. Actually more harmful is that every LARGE business – i.e. fascism – gets free money like Home Depot, Walmart, and the law allows them to stay open. Pa’s Hardware and Food n Stuff gets no financing and lose all. “Company Store”. As in: “I owe my soul to the company store.” Yeah, that’s called “monopoly”. It’s “Fascism”, you might have noticed.
This is just ONE of the reasons you can’t have MMT, money-printing, unsound money. This one reason would be far more than enough as all R&D and employment comes from Pa’s Local Startup, but there are many, many more.
Prime among them is Inflation, if you hadn’t noticed. But income disparity to those who speculate and do nothing too. “I MAKE nothing. I DO nothing. I OWN.” — Gordon Gekko, Wall Street.
“There are hundreds of companies in this position that went public during the hype-and-hoopla era”
These companies should never have existed and represent a total waste of valuable time and resources. All the gas driving to these companies should never have been burned, all the lumber they used to build the front office should never have been cut. THey paved endless farmland for the office space and parking lots. Just total waste, all the way down. This is why not high or low inflation, but STABILITY is the key to working economies. Business can adjust to anything. Except changing conditions with changing rules and no property rights. But of course that is what speculators get rich off of and pay Senators for. And the people cheer! $3 Trillion stimulus? “It’s my money and I want it now!!!” –JG Wentworth
“Your money” makes 30% inflation that makes the rich 30% richer in 20 months. Go MMT!
“now received about a dozen death threats after radical leftists accused me of being a domestic terrorist extremist.”
Yeah, but only every day. Didn’t you hear there was going to be violence this summer over R v Wade? At least you haven’t been Swatted 12 times like Tim Pool and any other reporters/people who embarrass the DNC. Stochastic murder. Guaranteed. They show up to Supreme Court houses and DNC leaders don’t tell them to stop. Because they approve of murder. They only don’t like going to jail, thus the “stochastic.”
““Hi @FBI, I’m being threatened with a pipe bomb. Can you please look into this?”
N O P E . And they haven’t found the DC bomber either, with his cell phone in his hand, on 10,000 cameras. After 9 months they finally started asking about it, though.
Again, what does this person do? She RE-posts public quotes from ordinary people who put them up voluntarily. That’s usually called “Support”. Re-tweeting someone is a GOOD thing. If you’re proud of and believe what you’re saying, if you were honest and well-thought. They say that anyone who repeats their own voluntary, unforced words, is a Nazi and against them. Okay, maybe in #OppositeLand. Doesn’t Coca-Cola pay hundred millions for this kind of grass-roots coverage, advertising, retweets, and engagement? Does Coke do that because it’s bad and they’re Nazis?
Nevermind, using ye olde logic again. So last century.
“UK Asylum Flight To Rwanda Cancelled After 11th-hour ECHR Intervention (G.)”
Again, Rwanda? Like Cote d’Ivory, F-stan, exactly how many thousand miles, how many nations did you cross before you got to Manchester? 30? 50? Where did you get the money rather than settling in Amadabad, India?
So I let it slide, but I’m moving to Naples without a passport seeking asylum from Trump and Biden and the political prosecution here. You can’t ship me home the ECHR says.
I mean, why not? How is that different from Guatemalans in Uvalde? There are no borders and no international law, so therefore there are no nation states now. Only Multinational Corporations.
“US and Partners Enter Pact to Secure Critical Minerals Like Lithium (R.)”
“Pact”, meaning “We wrote some words while eating 5-star catering” and did no work. Yes, but this shortage was only 100% scientifically certain from the first day. That’s why we ignored it and had no idea. “Follow the Scienz!”
…And the Sciencz follows the money.
…And the money follows the Stateless Multinational Corporations
…Who follow the free money printing from Powell and the MMT banks.

i’ve never seen so many kids and teenagers sick so frequently with multiple kids missing multiple lessons because of differing bouts of illness.
The damage of the failed Rwanda scheme might give the UK Gov some pause, also where Assange is concerned. But it could also do the opposite. This is from a mail I received, quoting a man named Phillip Adams:
The position of USA Ambassador to Australia has been vacant for about 4-5 years, so I believe. The USA government has covered this fact up by naming an interim one for that period, where the individual could not give a shit about the role. In my opinion basically vacated Australia to avoid political fallout during the Assange case percolated. That is my biased opinion.
Anyway, the appointing of Caroline Kennedy is a positive development for our campaign to free Assange. She will be the local focus point and given her fathers words and what happened to him following his words about protecting the free press and “Repugnant secrecy” as JFK called it,
I feel it is a very positive outcome and we will see. However the petition is now in a very powerful position. The Prime Minister of Australia (Anthony Albanese) signed my petition on his first day in office and I believe was the first document he signed after his swearing in as PM. The PM signed my petition on 23-5-2022 just before he flew to meet with President Biden on that very day. I am hoping that Assange will be free by June 29th 2022.

Notice how it was “a study of triple vaccinated people”. Yup – the vaxxed are fucked. We know it, they know it. Pathogenic Priming has “fixed” their immune response to the original strain.
The unvaxxed do get an “immune boost” from Omicron – but of course they won’t tell you that. Now – go get ‘yer booster! 🤡☠️🤡
“We’re not getting herd immunity, we’re not building up protective immunity to Omicron,” he said. “So we face not coming out the other end of infections and re-infections and breakthrough infections.” DING DING DING – EXACTLY what Geert Vanden Bossche has been saying.
Warp Speed clearly wasn’t fast enough! “A faster method — likely based on data from laboratory tests and trials involving mice or other animals — may be necessary to ensure that boosters remain effective.” https://ca.news.yahoo.com/covid-reinfections-set-to-spike-in-us-as-new-variants-evade-immunity-220029351.html Good God! 🤡☠️🤡

Yeah, I know, it might be a bit messy, but talk about freedom! just wow! Everyone will be free to do any damn thing they want that someone else can’t stop you from doing. Wee, doggies !
The body count can’t be that much higher than what we’ve racked up so far with those wars on terror, drugs, poverty, and viruses. . . and WAY more localized. Truly America First.
Might even persuade some to giving that old Constitution and Bill Of Rights another shot . . . . . maybe even for reals this time.
Does anybody know of a graph or chart or something that shows, say, a historical ‘mean’ death rate versus the excess deaths that (are alleged to have) occurred from Covid?
An MD family member watched the Malone-van den Bossche interview from Spain, but replied, “What about all the people who died from Covid BEFORE the the vaccine was available?” I didn’t stray into the whole “with covid or from covid” debate again, was just wondering if deaths really were simply steady…

Re: Comments last night
@WES, Slimy Alligator Paul and Phoenixvoice: I have plenty of tomatoes. I canned 13 quarts week before last and gave away a lot at my son’s birthday party this past weekend, and have been cooking-with-tomatoes a lot. I get tomatoes in May, and tomato season has already peaked for me, due to the heat It is not getting under 78F at night, so tomatoes quite flowering when it doesn’t cool down at night to low 70s. “Juliets”, a small Roma type, produce the best in the heat. We’ll have few tomatoes until October fter the end of this month. Summer rains are a big help, if we get them, as they cool the nights down a bit.
This post has pre and post canning pics. https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/as-time-goes-by?s=wI appreciate the perspective and tips on how your gardens or other gardens grow. Phoenix is the most like Austin in weather, and those clear glass bowls from Dollar Tree (“cloches”) would work even better there. I’d plant seeds in December in Phonix. (Hell, maybe I’ll do that in Yoakum.)
My failures with starting seeds with lights and warmers have not been absolute, but more the failure to measure up to the starts in little pots from a nursery.
Cutting tomato slices and keeping them in soil over winter is very much mimicing nature. I respect that.@Mr Roboto: Yes, Texas is the biggest state investor in wind and solar power, and yes, they have been working with bright sunshine and steady winds to feed the grid that feeds the air conditioners. Natural gas plants are the big backup generator, and are ina b it of short supply in recent years. natural gas is essential if the wind quiets down in the heat of the day, or there are storm clouds overhead.
Van Gogh was influenced by Monet, they say. This looks like a kindred painting.
John Ward, The Slog, has a post up about HG Wells’ book The Time Machine, wherein Morlocks underground support innocent Eloi aboveground, and secretly harvest them at night to cook in the oven and eat for Sunday Roast. Somehow he likens this predation to our current global system of ownership, finance and resource allocation. He’s skilled and clever, and living it himself, as he tries to exit France with some residual wealth to live on. (It’s rumored you might meet him, V.Arnold.)
THE GREAT RESET CAPER: We saw you coming…Dr D posted in a prev. thread: Noirette, did you catch the whole Jacques Baud article? – link below
Yes I did, role of Switz. etc. He makes some good points.
reminder, Switz. abandoned its neutrality by sanctioning Russia / Russians, which it was not obliged to do by the UN. However, CH has refused to send arms / parts / ammunition to Ukr. because the CH Constitution forbids it, it would be going a step too far, there would be an outcry, but the MSM doesn’t report this.
Baud makes the point that statecraft shouldn’t be guided by passion, but by reason (paraphr.), that ‘feelings’ cannot be the basis of policy. CH should not behave as a party in this conflict. Absolutely.
Now, setting aside the mega discussion about the intertwining of reason and emotion and how one might distinguish them to begin with, Baud doesn’t venture to address the question Why.
I believe that even 10 years ago facing such a conflict CH would have ‘kept out of it’ in all its forms; what efforts to pacification or resolution of the conflict it might try to instigate is another question, which also depends a lot on other’s reactions.
So what changed? The politicians in charge are not, as individuals, fundamentally different from those of 10 years ago. The MSM though has flipped. 20 years ago it was not bad at all, but today it seems like all news is spun or slanted and the ‘facts’ themselves come from Reuters and AFP…and one unique story line has to be followed, PUTIN-BAD and plucky valiant Ukranians good. What set of factors brought about this change?
In CH we saw the same thing with COVID .. to the point where existing legislation (in CH experimental vaccines could NOT be used, while experimental treatments to ill ppl who agree is lax, easy, for ex. Thalidomide can be prescribed for lupus..) …was disregarded or overturned..
These are sweeping societal / cultural / ultimately socio-political changes…
Jacques Baud: “The goal is not to help Ukraine, but to fight Putin”
Just because you’re trapped in an lunatic asylum by insane doctors who say you’re crazy for wanting to get out, does not mean you that you should stop trying to become sane enough to figure out a way to get out.
magnificent art.
Tagesspiegel, the ‘flagship’ newspaper of the German capital, lately running op-ed headline pieces pushing for “moar vepons for Ukraine!!” every day, hit comedic gold today with this gem:
Drohende Engpässe bei Gasversorgung
Robert Habecks Mission wird immer schwieriger
Russland drosselt unter einem Vorwand den Großteil seiner Gaslieferungen nach Deutschland. Der Plan des Wirtschaftsministers für den Winter gerät unter Druck.translation:
Impending bottlenecks in gas supply [hmm.. who woulda thunk??]
Robert Habeck’s mission is becoming increasingly difficult
Under a pretext, [!! TrolLOLo!!]] Russia is curbing the majority of its gas supplies to Germany. The Economy Minister’s plan for the winter is coming under pressure. 🍿🤣On Denninger, “Ukraine has lost and so have we.” (prev. thread, link below.) We, being the USA I presume.
Well, yes and no.
Ukraine will be divided up, is already so, with Russia controlling a long consequent strip in the East (going to Odessa next ?), the future of Galicia (the parts that are in Ukr.) uncertain, a rump Ukr. left over, and so on.
Nobody in the *Collective West* as it is now called (USuk-isr, EU, 5 eyes, occupied Japan..) cares about Ukr. or Ukranians. The only aim is to stick it to Russia, get rid of Putin, break into the tremendous ressources, etc. How Ukr. is broken up, if Poland gets a piece or not, is of no consequence, anything goes.
Ukr. is seen as backwater only good for exploitation by ‘individuals’ (see Burisma, local oligarchs, etc.) even while it is overall a rich in ressources country. In fine, the aim is to simply create as many problems for Russia as possible, war In Ukr., plus to harm Russia and Russians by ‘cutting them off’, much like angry ppl ‘cut off’ their ex-spouses, their family members, friends, by refusing to see them, deal with them, honor obligations, etc. in case of discord.
The USA has succeeded in the cutting-off aim, for many years (they hope..) annuling a fair trade, economic, and even political relationship between Germany, other European countries, and Russia.
Tight ties, an alliance on that continent, would have seen the USA driven into nutty post-modernist insignificance, very poor, which is already happening anyway.
So this aim – the supremo symbol being the cancellation of Nord Stream 2 – has been achieved. For now.
@ Noirette – Nobody in the *Collective West* as it is now called (USuk-isr, EU, 5 eyes, occupied Japan..) cares about Ukr. or Ukranians. The only aim is to stick it to Russia, get rid of Putin, break into the tremendous ressources, etc. How Ukr. is broken up, if Poland gets a piece or not, is of no consequence, anything goes.
___________________… and to the Russian side: Russia has presented its most clearly defined its strategic aims last December, … issued two draft treaties – with red lines- to the U.S. and NATO which included demands for a withdrawal by NATO to its former 1997 eastern limits ( East Germany lands were excluded). That is, … to the of Polish western border along river Oder *). This means that Ukraine is only in its way to that river.
And so, once the Ukraine is finished, … Poland is next!
Anyway, for the record: … the U.S. and NATO ignored the two drafts. Russia did not, …

While we await the WHO renaming “monkeypox” to be less racist (‘different species, not different race”, sez I) we get some facts and statistics from Europe.
https://www.zerohedge.com/medical/uk-health-agency-99-monkeypox-cases-are-gay-menA survey of monkeypox cases by the UK Health Agency has found that 151 out of 152 participants are men who “identify as gay, bisexual or men who have sex with men.”
The survey found that 311 (99% of 314) cases were men, with just 3 confirmed female cases.
“One hundred and fifty-two cases participated in more detailed questionnaires, implemented from 26 May 2022, and used retrospectively,” the survey found.
“In this data, 151 of the 152 men interviewed identified as gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM), or reported same sex contact, and the remaining individual declined to disclose this information.”
Early outbreaks of monkeypox originated at a gay sauna in Spain and a fetish festival in Belgium.Despite monkeypox cases being overwhelmingly gay men, some critics have suggested that encouragement by health authorities for gay men who suspect they may have caught the virus to refrain from having sex is “homophobic” and a form of “stigmatization.”
As we previously highlighted, the first monkeypox patient to go public revealed that he caught the virus from having gay sex with “around 10 new partners” after being deported from Dubai for testing positive for HIV.
Got any non-racist naming ideas?
Any of those “non pejorative”?“Orgypox”?

Pfizer admits to fraud in court
Their defense to the fraud claims against them is that because the government was in on it, it isn’t fraud. Pfizer whistleblower Brook Jackson’s attorney, Robert Barnes, isn’t buying the argument.

Sounds like Nixon’s defense: If the president does it that means it’s not illegal.”
Legally speaking, since Cominaty was approved last August as a “treatment” to covid, shouldn’t the EUA’s be revoked then? Since we have an alternative “treatment”? So Pfizer says they’re never going to produce Cominaty and have continued to use EUA jabs since they have so many, how is this legal?

Doug Casey: Things will continue to deteriorate for the foreseeable future. Trends in motion tend to stay in motion, and this trend is still accelerating. Actual Jacobins and Bolsheviks will be running the US for at least another 30 months.We’ve talked a lot about international possibilities in past conversations. However, if you want to stay in the US and you live in a major city—it doesn’t matter where—I would move to a rural area.
People in rural areas are closer to the earth and reality. They have more traditional values and less bad habits. Their general worldview is more conservative. In big cities, it’s always more liberal. Like tends to draw like. In cities, urban gangs may start taking over in “no go” zones.
”Doug Casey on the Great Migration of Americans Out of Dysfunctional Cities
“Then All At Once” blog post is up, with picture of kitchen-in-progress in “rural area”
https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/then-all-at-once?s=wToday the Fed hiked interest rates by 0.75%, the biggest hike since Paul Volker was Chairman. That response-to-inflation is in the context of having bailed out the big banks and financial institutions with trillions of dollars, beginning in September of 2019, as Event 201 and other preparations were being made for a coronavirus pandemic. The pandemic allowed the Fed and other central banks to “go direct” with massive slush to big banks, as advised by Black Rock. This article, which I am re-posting goes into that reversal-of-order, which makes recent events so very clear, even today.
The pandemic-lockdown was cover for the bailout, and delayed the inevitable inflation.A Self-Fulfilling Prophecy: Systemic Collapse and Pandemic Simulation
Now, the inevitable-inflation is here, and it’s not from paying factory workers too much. They have been progressively starved in “advanced economies”, and their jobs moved to “developing economies” where workers get paid very little and pollution is still ok.
Inflation is now caused by a supply shortage of stuff, as all of the credit-money created in recent years keeps filtering into the “real economy”, trying to buy diesel, and computer chips, baby formula and tampons. Yes, there are supply chain problems, but it’s always something. Prices of some commodity triple, then maybe drop later to just double. Money supply can be easily increased, but the material goods are in short supply, and keep getting bid-up.A contrived “reason” for this is up and fully operational now. WAR! Shortages of fuel, food and manufactured goods are either due to Putin, or to sanctioning-Putin, or due to non-compliance with Russian sanctions. Creating an artificial shortage of Russian oil (for sanctions-participants) leads directly to a black-market in Russian oil, after it passes through Chinese tankers and Indian refineries, then back to the EU and US.
Once again, a created-emergency has allowed for emergency-measures to make a problem acutely worse, but in a way that can be modulated by backing off and “cheating”. This allows for “control” of the situation by the controllers. It’s what they do.
So the economy will never be what it used to be. I postulate that global industrial economy is in terminal decline because of high costs of hierarchy, parasitic owners, increasingly expensive oil and ores, pollution of all kinds and growing bureaucracies everywhere.On the positive side, there is more than enough of everything to supply everybody’s actual human needs.
On the negative side, the system is designed to create scarcity, not meet all needs, and to bid up the prices for meeting any needs,
then directing the excess payments as profit to the “owners”. It is a most sophisticated, broadly-instituted global system.The last adjustments to this system were instituted through World Wars 1 & 2, and during the postwar Bretton-Woods financial regime, during the cold-war.
Despite the vast creation of credit-money provided directly to the biggest financial institutions, the system still has a lot of gas. The $US losing value is not acceptable, especially with the gold & oil backed Ruble making such a surprisingly good showing, and all of the talk about a new Eurasian trade currency, backed by commodities, about to be unveiled.To keep the demand high for $US, the credit has to be called-in. Interest rates in dollars are going up-up-up, so it is doing better than other currencies. Dollars being lent are going down-down-down, but $US loans still need to be serviced with $US, so $US is in high demand. This tightening of credit conditions is hitting speculative investments (“risk assets”) harder and harder, and that is one price for supporting the system. Companies may finally start going bankrupt, and real estate loans will be defaulted upon. Financial institutions, having made trillions in the crisis, will buy up real things for pennies on the dollar, yet again.
There is no alternative, right? Loans have to be paid in $US or the lenders take your lithium mine, or oil wells and starve your country so people riot for food.
Some say that there will soon be an alternative. That Russia, China, India, Iran, Turkey, maybe Brazil and a lot of little countries are about to release an alternative global trade currency, but it won’t buy Boeings or Patriot missiles. This bloc of countries will recognize nationalization of mines and oil wells, and will not ding a credit-score for defaulting on $US debts.This is all still “planned”, still hypothetical. I’m on pins and needles…
This seems just like Mariupol. Please jump to the ending.

Funneling weapons into an active warzone is ‘immoral,’ Mexico’s president said
https://www.rt. com/news/557177-mexico-ukraine-policies-immoral/Dmitry Medvedev trolls EU/US/NATO rather stylishly:
“We are eagerly expecting yet another package of European sanctions and great sanctions solutions by Grandfather Joe [US President Joe Biden] over which the authors of these very sanctions immediately begin to come up with schemes to circumvent them,”
https://tass. com/politics/1464815 India wins. Russia wins Europe loses. Who has “firsties” now? Will India still get Russian oil for $70/bbl when all of this is over?
Despite Western demands to halt its purchase of Russian oil, a Helsinki-based research agency has found that India bought 18% of all the crude Russia exported in May, up from 1% before the military operation in Ukraine began. Discounts has ensured that New Delhi will not follow the path of sanctions, especially as Indian refiners are extremely satisfied…
