Covid = Climate = Total economic control, marked depreciation of living standards, removal of national sovereignty and radical erosion of individual liberties.
"Our purpose is to methodically remove the benefits and privileges #Russia once enjoyed as a participant in the international economic order” a senior US official said
The #US are simply shrinking the international economic order & accelerating its demise reuters.com/world/g7-eu-anno…
#Putin after #Russia’s forex reserves freeze by the West:
“There is no point anymore to supply our commodities and get payments in dollars, euros or some other currencies”
Indeed, demonstration was made that USD & EUR has value 0 if the US decides so
➡️Better to sell in RUB
“Secondary sanctions to come on China, India, UAE”
The global pandemic of the “cowboys shooting from the hips” sanctions
The #ECB is conspicuous by its absence.
I am violently surprised.
Refugee flows are always also flows of money. If we want to support Ukraine’s embattled sovereignty it means supporting its currency by allowing refugees to exchange it at reasonable rates. That requires central bank backing. Where is ECB?

“The pipeline operator said that the western sanctions make it harder to fix the port loading facilities damaged during a recent storm, meaning shipments could be cut by 2/3”
But…the West is now complaining that #Russia is deliberately rationing supplies on.ft.com/3uhmKjf
#Russia made a remarkable move in their negotiation with #Ukraine, asking to include in the agreement the lifting of the sanctions from the West. Thus they transform Zelensky into their negotiator towards #US-EU. The only possible chance to see the end of these dreadful sanctions
300bn of Russian Central Bank’s assets stolen by the West, private companies’ share sales invalidated:
there is no “free market economy” rules anymore
just the Wild West now. Everything submitted to the US “and its allies” political arbitrary on.ft.com/3Jnottv

“#Biden to Join EU Leaders at Summit Next Week”
The #EU is not existing anymore: it has de facto merged with #NATO wsj.com/livecoverage/russia-…
“Mechanism risks angry answer from the US & its allies”
No, “angry answer” always comes only from the US
& the US do not have allies: only protectorates & de facto colonies
Now that the EU dissolved itself into NATO, this fact is more obvious than ever on.ft.com/37rBkwI

“Ukraine and Russia draw up neutrality plan to end war”
As soon as it has made peace with #Russia, #Ukraine will become a villain for the West and Zelensky will be presented as a traitor and bad guy on.ft.com/3u0WJ7N
There will be an agreement between Ukraine & Russia: it is being drafted over the past four days
Cessation of the hostilities, withdrawal of Russian forces, but the US will never let it go
Sanctions will continue & NATO will become always more aggressive

And what would EU membership bring to #Ukraine? Someone needs to explain it to me

If, on top of the #Russian CB reserves freeze, the West put an embargo on the oil & gas exports (which the country now really needs)
the answer from the Kremlin could be asymmetric: military.
@MedvedevRussiaE warned us last week about it -& Russia raised its nuclear alert level
Confiscating the foreign reserves of the Central Bank of #Russia is criminal, by multiple accounts:
-It is deemed to plunge Russian economy into chaos, for ordinary people
-It is an act of theft
-It undermines the basics of fiat money & central banking
