    I took this photo just now. This is how BBC journalists chose to word the news surrounding the capture of the nuclear power plant today, where a shell exploded and a fire broke out and was extinguished. These are the words they selected to describe the situation, and no, it wasn't a scrolling news ticker. That was it.

    The enemy.

    Don't you think the answer to this question should at least be part of the assessment of Russia's actions?
    He's already been asked that question, and he chose not to answer it. He no longer has the opportunity.

    For those who can't read it, it says: "UN Security Council emergency meeting after nuclear attack." Believe absolutely nothing they say. Everything they say is a baldfaced lie.

    Lindsey Graham on Twitter (archived):

    Is there a Brutus in Russia? Is there a more successful Colonel Stauffenberg in the Russian military?

    The only way this ends is for somebody in Russia to take this guy out.

    You would be doing your country - and the world - a great service.

    The only people who can fix this are the Russian people.

    Easy to say, hard to do.

    Unless you want to live in darkness for the rest of your life, be isolated from the rest of the world in abject poverty, and live in darkness you need to step up to the plate.
    This is frothing at the mouth Lunacy. The last sentence is psychopathic.

    Would you blame Mexico if in 2014 the USA had used their military to annex the Baja California peninsula and then, leading up to today, bemoaned the "fact" that the USA and Mexico are morally, spiritually, and culturally bonded and their break-up was the worst geopolitical catastrophe of the 20th century?

    Inflation, De-dollarization, and Russia'''s Ultimate Goal for War in Ukraine

    Founded in 1973, Belgium-based SWIFT is used by banks globally for cross-border financial transactions. It facilitates trillions of dollars of cross-border payments between 11,000 financial institutions in more than 200 countries making it the backbone of the international financial transfer system.

    In 2014, Russia launched the System for Transfer of Financial Messages (SPFS), a Russian alternative to SWIFT. In 2015, China launched the Cross-Border Interbank Payment System (CIPS), a Chinese alternative to SWIFT. CIPS processed around $12.68 trillion in 2021, a 75% increase from 2020. CIPS has about 1,280 financial institutions in 103 countries and regions connected to their system.

    Combine the Russian System for Transfer of Financial Messages (SPFS) with the Chinese Cross-Border Interbank Payment System (CIPS) and you see the foundation of a new Russian-Chinese cross-border payment system bypassing SWIFT and speeding up global de-dollarization.

    A Bloomberg article sums up the western financial system’s collective fears:

    “Booting Russia from the critical global system – which handles 42 million messages a day and serves as a lifeline to some of the world’s biggest financial institutions – could backfire, sending inflation higher, pushing Russia closer to China, and shielding financial transactions from scrutiny by the west. It might also encourage the development of a SWIFT alternative that could eventually damage the supremacy of the US dollar.”
    Is it possible to find people more stupid than our current administration? I don't see how it's possible.

    It isn't; these idiots have been hand picked to destroy our country, if not the world. It's their stupidity and corruption that got them put in place, probably using bribes, threats, and/or blackmail.

    A lot of grift, apparently. Worthy of a potential nuclear war grift to protect their sorry asses.

    Denninger: How To Get OUR President Assassinated in [Market-Ticker-Nad]

    It's not outside the realm of possibility that they want Biden assassinated. It solves problems, even as it creates them. And if Russia decides to nuke the US Capitol, the same is true.

    At any rate, Lindsey Graham should immediately be sanctioned and removed from the Senate, and a replacement appointed by the SC Governor.

    Russia is the world’s largest supplier of wheat, and together with Ukraine accounts for 29% of the global wheat trade and nearly 20% of the global corn trade. In response to Western sanctions on Russia, China has relaxed restrictions on imports of Russian wheat. This agreement provides Russia with a secure buyer at a time when exports to other countries might be complicated by financial sanctions or other disruption.

    Furthermore, Russia is the largest exporter of fertilizer in the world with the United States importing $700 million of fertilizer from Russia every year. War, sanctions, or disruptions in Russian fertilizer markets will have a significant impact on the price of food across the globe.

    In 2020, global lockdown policies already pushed as many as 150 million into starvation reversing fifteen years of malnutrition trends. As Stanford Professor of Medicine, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya said, "Millions more will die from collateral damage from lockdown than from lives saved by it." In a similar sense, war and economic sanctions on Russian energy, food, and fertilizer will do the most collateral damage to the poorest populations in the world.
    How is it possible to retain any confidence in anything these people tell you, or in anything they do?

    I wouldn't chalk it up to stupidity. Famine engineering is an old commie pastime.
