Russia can wage war in Ukraine for several more years, provided there are sufficient fuel prices, writes Bloomberg.

Thus, with the price of Urals oil at the current level of around $50, Russia can cover the budget deficit with its available reserves in yuan for another three years.

And at a price above $60, the Russian authorities will even begin to replenish their reserves in yuan.

I can tell you now DK if someone murdered my family and justice was deemed he was not clear by doing a few days front line service when my country apparently has a great army, lots of volunteers but apparently little war resources that is not my country.


If someone wants to kill you, will you accept help from a criminal?
Or will you die and not let the criminal save you?

Anyway you should tell Mr Putin, maybe rather than spend all this money on Nukes we should have invested this plentiful wealth into the actual army so we don’t look foolish on the world scene.


Some countries did not have nuclear weapons: Yugoslavia, Iraq, Libya, Syria.
Why do we need their fate?

You mean Russian intelligence controls those ellections that good, that you are whinning all the time that they want to destroy Russia? Matrix error?


No, everyone in the world is saying that Russia controls many processes: elections, the governments of many countries, their intelligence services, global inflation, gas, oil, grain prices.
Putin influences protests in many countries, bribes foreign media.

and after that they say that Russia is weak and has already lost.

This is called split consciousness.

Head of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Oleksiy Reznikov, during a speech to members of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Anti-Corruption Policy, admitted mistakes in the purchase of products for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which the department purchased at 2-3 times inflated prices. Such errors in the list for purchases were found far from one.

“We are talking not only about eggs in kilograms and tons, but also about many other positions. That is why Deputy Minister Shapovalov left. Why there were "mistakes" - we must find out in the near future," MP Viktoriya Syumar told Ukrainian journalists.

Earlier it became known that Deputy Defense Minister Vyacheslav Shapovalov resigned. He was responsible for the logistics of the country's armed forces.

In addition, other high-ranking officials left their posts, including Aleksey Arestovich, adviser to the presidential office, and Kyrylo Tymoshenko, deputy head of the presidential office of Ukraine. Experts attribute this to the fact that Washington is dissatisfied with the level of corruption in the team of Vladimir Zelensky and plans to conduct a thorough check to understand how money from Western aid is being spent in Ukraine.

The World Economy No Longer Needs Russia
For much of the past year, and since his invasion of Ukraine last February, Russian President Vladimir Putin has been riding high on his supposed energy omnipotence, holding the global economy hostage to his whims. Since last summer, Putin has choked off natural gas supplies to Europe, hoping that Europeans, shivering and without heat during the winter, would turn on their leaders and make it politically infeasible to continue support for Ukraine.

The threat was potent: In 2021, a whopping 83 percent of Russian gas was exported to Europe. Russia’s total global exports of 7 million barrels of oil a day and 200 billion cubic meters (bcm) of piped gas a year accounted for about half of its federal revenue. Even more importantly, Russia’s commodities exports played a crucial role in global supply chains: Europe was reliant on Russia for 46 percent of its total gas supply, with comparable levels of dependence on other Russian products including metals and fertilizer.

Now, as we approach the one-year anniversary of Putin’s invasion, it is apparent that Russia has permanently forfeited its erstwhile economic might in the global marketplace.

Thanks to an unseasonably warm winter in Europe, Putin’s moment of maximum leverage has passed uneventfully, and, as we correctly forecast last October, the biggest victim of Putin’s gas gambit was Russia itself. Putin’s natural gas leverage is now nonexistent, as the world—and, most importantly, Europe—no longer needs Russian gas.

Far from freezing to death, Europe quickly secured alternative gas supplies by pivoting to global liquefied natural gas (LNG). This included an estimated 55 bcm from the United States, two-and-a-half times more than prewar U.S. exports of LNG to Europe. Coupled with increases in supply from renewable sources, nuclear, and, in the interim, coal, these alternative supplies have reduced Europe’s dependence on Russian gas to 9 percent of its total gas imports. In fact, Europe now purchases more LNG than it ever purchased Russian gas.

Furthermore, Europe’s unseasonably warm winter means that not only have the worst-case scenarios been avoided, but Europe’s full storage tanks have barely been drawn down and can carry over into next winter. In January, German storage tanks were a record 91 percent full, up from 54 percent last year, meaning that Europe will need to buy significantly less gas in 2023 than in 2022.

The implications are tremendous. Europe is now assured sufficient energy supply well into 2024 at a minimum, providing enough time for cheaper alternative energy supplies—both renewables and bridge fuels—to be fully onboarded and operating within Europe. This includes the completion of an additional 200 bcm/year in LNG export capacity by 2024—enough to fully and permanently replace Russia’s 200 bcm/year gas exports once and for all.

Furthermore, the days of globally expensive energy amid “Russia-driven supply squeezes” are over for good. In addition to Europe’s lower expected demand for LNG, China is pivoting away from global LNG in favor of domestic sources. Coupled with the rapidly increasing LNG supply, it is little surprise that the gas futures market is now pricing gas to be cheaper than prewar levels for years to come.

Putin, on the other hand, has zero remaining leverage and no way to replace his erstwhile primary customer; he is finding out the hard way that it is much easier for consumers to replace unreliable commodity suppliers than it is for suppliers to find new markets. Already, Putin is drawing practically no profit from gas sales, as his prior 150 bcm sales of piped gas to Europe have been replaced by a measly 16 bcm to China and pocket change in global LNG sales, barely enough to cover expenses. There are no markets for Putin to replace anything close to that 150 bcm shortfall: China lacks the necessary pipeline capacity to take any more for at least a decade and prefers domestic and diversified sources of energy anyhow, while Russia’s laggard technology makes it impossible to scale LNG exports beyond a slow trickle.

Putin’s oil leverage is likewise diminishing. Gone are the days when fear of Putin taking Russian oil supplies off the market caused oil prices to skyrocket by 40 percent over two weeks. In fact, when—in response to last month’s rollout of the G-7 oil price cap, which we helped develop—Putin announced a ban, from Feb. 1, on oil exports to countries that accepted the price cap, oil prices actually went down.

Historically the Vikings initiated the Kievan-Rus and therefore we own Russia, if we use Dumbo's own logic on Ukraine.. :D

https://www.history.com/news/vikings-in-russia-kiev-rus-vara...
The historical people known as Vikings, who hailed from Scandinavia in Northern Europe, are well-known today for their exploits in the west. But the merchant-warriors also made their way into Eastern Europe, where they helped found a medieval federation in territory now known as Belarus, Ukraine and part of Russia. Their loose federation of principalities called Kievan Rus survived for nearly 400 years, finally collapsing during the 13th-century Mongol invasion.
Early Scandinavian settlements in the East

Vikings founded Kievan Rus in the mid-9th century, but Scandanavian settlements in Eastern Europe actually date back to at least A.D. 750. This is when pre-Viking-Age Scandanavians likely settled the northwestern Russian town of Staraya Ladoga (or “Old Ladoga”), across Lake Ladoga from what is now Finland. One of the artifacts archaeologists have unearthed from the city is a talisman with the face of Odin, the Norse god of war.

“The early Scandinavians were particularly attracted to Ladoga by the appearance of Islamic silver coins or dirhams there,” writes scholar Thomas S. Noonan. “The regular flow of Islamic dirhams from Russia to Scandinavia via Ladoga began in the early ninth century and is further evidence of a Viking presence in Ladoga long before 840.

It was after 840 that Scandanavian Vikings—who were known in Eastern Europe as “Varangians” or “Rus”—established Viking rule over Slavic tribes in what came to be called Kievan Rus. At first, the region was divided between three noble brothers.

“The oldest, Rurik, located himself at Novgorod; the second, Sineus, at Beloozero; and the third, Truvor, in Izborsk,” recounts the Russian Primary Chronicle, a history of the region completed in the 12th century by Kievan monks. “On account of these Varangians, the district of Novgorod became known as the land of Rus.” (“Rus,” which is where the name “Russia” comes from, purportedly derives from an old Nordic word for “men who row.”)

Rurik’s brothers died within two years, so he claimed their territory and established Novgorod as the capital of his domain. After Rurik died, his successor Prince Oleg of Novgorod (or Oleg the Prophet) captured the city of Kiev in 882 and moved the capital from Novgorod to Kiev. In addition to capturing new territories to increase the size of Kievan Rus, Oleg also increased its wealth by negotiating a favorable trade deal with Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire

Archaeological discoveries in the region support the Russian Primary Chronicle’s historical account of Vikings in the region—at least, in part. However, historians caution readers to approach the Chronicle narrative with a grain of salt, since some of its stories have an exaggerated, mythical quality.

One such story: how Oleg allegedly died. According to the Chronicle, a prophecy during his lifetime foretold that one of his horses would cause his death. To avoid his fate, Oleg never rode that horse. But after he successfully expanded Kievan Rus territory and trade, he got a little cocky and began to wonder if he could ride the horse after all. By then the animal had died, so Oleg found its bones and mockingly stomped on its skull; but, the story goes, a serpent slithered from underneath and bit Oleg, killing him.

After Oleg came a period of royal distress. His successor was Rurik’s son, Igor of Kiev, who married a woman named Olga. Like Oleg, Igor collected tribute from the people he had conquered; but unlike Oleg, his prices were so high that they prompted a tribe to assassinate him. When he died, his wife Olga assumed power.

What reportedly happened next with Olga is one of those stories that likely lives more on the mythical end of the spectrum. Olga was (understandably) furious with the early Slavic tribe of Drevlians that had killed her husband. So when Drevlian emissaries went to see Olga to discuss whether she would marry one of their princes, she supposedly tricked them into being buried alive. The chronicle also says she invited a bunch of Drevlian wise men to visit her, and then burned them alive inside a bathhouse.

End of the Kievan Rus era

Kievan Rus was largely pagan until the late 10th century, when Vladimir the Great took power and introduced Christianity. The conversion actually resulted from a deal between Vladimir and the Byzantine Emperor. Vladimir agreed to convert to Christianity and send the emperor 6,000 soldiers to defend his throne; in exchange, Vladimir would marry the emperor’s sister.

READ MORE: Globetrotting Vikings: The Quest for Constantinople

The exchange of soldiers led to the establishment of the Varangian Guard, an elite unit of imperial bodyguards. In addition, the deal led to the spread of Byzantine culture within Kievan Rus. Vladimir built churches to spread Christianity and schools to spread literacy (and also probably Christianity). The economy flourished, and Kievan Rus continued to expand. This cultural and economic growth likely peaked under the rule of Vladimir’s son Yaroslav I (or Yaroslav the Wise), who began construction of St. Sophia Cathedral in Novgorod.

After this, the Kievan Rus federation was beset by royal fights for power. The Crusades brought further instability, so that by the time the Mongols invaded in the 13th century, Kievan Rus was weak and divided, and easily fell.

An Englishman can always see better - who threatens whom and wants to kill.
Now wars are going on in Somalia, Iraq, Libya, Yemen, Syria.

Can you tell who wants to kill whom, and who does not threaten anyone?

Liz Truss said she was ready to push the "red button".
Heard it myself :)

By the way, how democratically did you elect Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak?
Who did you vote for when they were elected?
After all, the main feature of a democratic country is when its leader is elected by the general vote of the entire population.
Otherwise it's a dictatorship :)

Western countries continue to import Russian oil, despite loud statements about the complete rejection of raw materials from the Russian Federation. Great Britain was the first to announce an embargo on Russian oil supplies, but things did not go beyond words. Analysts reported that from January to July 2022, oil from Russia was imported into the country for $275 million.

This is made possible through the use of various workarounds and loopholes in European legislation. In one such scenario, Russian raw materials are purchased through an intermediary country. Formally, EU laws are not violated, oil is not bought directly from Russia. But, in fact, this is all the same Russian raw materials transported through the territory of a third country.

Thus, European countries have increased their imports of oil from Indian refineries. Oil mixtures there are almost entirely composed of Russian raw materials. “Before, Indian refiners rarely used Russian oil. Now it is about one in five barrels,” Wood Mackenzie says.

The Kyiv authorities are extremely unhappy that their Western partners "exploit the weaknesses of the sanctions regime." However, it is pointless to fight this, experts say. Thanks to the ability to mix oil from different countries, it is almost impossible to check the real origin of raw materials, which Western countries willingly use, hypocritically declaring "all-round support" for Ukraine.

You didn't even realize you were constantly quoting ONE article.

I quoted THAT specific sentence.. in my quote... hence i obviously read it.

Has nothing to do with quoting any article... you are quite slow mate.

Now do you understand how stupid you are?

I feel your anger dumbo and it warms me on the inside while im freezing in your dreams. :)

I would be just as angry if I was a mad patriot and saw my military get spanked,.
That surely would hurt badly...

I'll post it once more, just because it was fun, and not far besides the truth! You can take it anyway you like :)


Even after several viewings, it's still very funny :)

It is very good that Knyazev switched to England and finding out whose prince was the first in Rus' and I had time to write a little into the topic of russian secrecy.

So - a list of the most important prohibitions:
After the full-blown invasion, the numbers on international reserves were the first to be closed. There are simply no official statistics for 2022.

Later, the federal customs and the central bank stopped publishing statistics on international trade.

Then data on the production and export of energy carriers disappeared, as well as indicators of electricity generation disappeared from the leading indicators.

Banks were banned from publishing reports, and state-owned companies were allowed to hide information about management bodies and transactions

The Ministry of Finance stopped publishing specific spending data and left only aggregations

Also, such trifles - as the non-payment of dividends by Gazprom - in the sum of something about 408 billion rubles

In addition, the militarization of the budget - in which, for example, $ 1.2 billion (according to approximate calculations) is a component of the production of tanks - as a state order for 2023.

How many more such government orders for "defense" can only be guessed at, but judging by the huge military budget, a fall of 3.2 GDP in Russia is a soap bubble that will burst sooner or later. The only thing that upsets probably its will happen is rather late, in the light of reserves, future expropriation of private property and savings budget costs for the population.

Come up with something new.
Repetition is a sign of stupidity.
Although you won't understand that either.

Liz Truss said she was ready to push the "red button".
Heard it myself :)

By the way, how democratically did you elect Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak?
Who did you vote for when they were elected?
After all, the main feature of a democratic country is when its leader is elected by the general vote of the entire population.
Otherwise it's a dictatorship :)

Western countries continue to import Russian oil,


Sure they do. The EU has never imported so much oil and LNG as in 2022. We did break all records. But hypocritically we Western Europeans are, we no longer import it via a pipeline but via ship. We imported 16.5 billion cubic metres (bcm) of Russian LNG last year, up from 11.3 bcm in 2021.

To then convince our mindless citizens that we have stopped importing Russian oil and gas.

Same story with the cessation of trade relations with Russia. At the time of writing, 93% of all foreign companies that were active in Russia before the war are still active in Russia.

But don't worry, The CIA has already started covering their tracks, or did you think it was just a coincidence that everyone who knows anything about the shady reality suddenly gets into a helicopter together, or is now accused of corruption.

Coincidentally, this does not coincide with the discovery of state documents at Biden's office and home in the past three months. hahaha
