Claims rail traffic will resume this evening local time across Crimean Bridge

Apparently cars are now back using the Crimea Bridge given one of the two carriageways was undamaged.

Putin stated Kerch Bridge to be terrorist attack on infrastructure of Russia, accusing Ukrainian security services of responsibility.

Russian Security Council meets tomorrow where an appropriate response will be determined.

Long convoys of heavy weapons now moving to the Belarus border with Ukraine. Unclear why.

We will be going off grid for the next 10 days or so.

Please do not worry, we are perfectly fine and this is totally unrelated to ongoing events.

We have just released a brief update regarding the situation in Ukraine for our podcast subscribers. If you are a subscriber, simply log in as normal to view the update.

Everything is unravelling at breakneck speed. West has no one in position of power and responsibility who has a clue what to do. They are merely now trying to save their own political careers, which involves defending a war with Russia and sacrificing their nations in the process

First weekly podcast out now.

It is a brutal assessment of where we are currently.

There are no good guys coming to our rescue. Life is not a Hollywood movie script.

When you have domestic policies made by totally inept governments and foreign policy decisions made by bogus intelligence assessments it is no wonder that when those two worlds collide that the fallout will be immense.

Yesterday, NATO started a training exercise, known as Steadfast Noon, in which US B-52s and F-16s will simulate the usage of nuclear warheads in Europe.

Europe needs to wake up to reality and stop being cannon fodder for US aspirations.

Fallout of NS2 is proving to be total nightmare for perpetrators of this sabotage. Germany and Sweden know who is responsible. It doesn't matter if they publicly acknowledge this. This is already creating shockwaves across Europe. Very awkward questions are now being asked.

Clown show on steroids.

After spending over 12 months hounding Johnson out of office, the same MPs now want Johnson back as PM.

Xi:

We waged a battle against corruption on a scale unprecedented in our history in which we dared to offend thousands rather than fail 1.4bn people.

German prosecutors have searched the headquarters of Deutsche Bank (DBKGn.DE) in connection with an ongoing investigation of the multibillion-euro tax fraud scheme known as "cum-ex."

You may despise these comments, but Russian perspective is critical.

Surovikin:

Russians and Ukrainians are one people. Moscow wishes for Kiev to break free from grip of West/NATO and to be a friendly nation.

Enemy is criminal regime pushing citizens of Ukraine to their death

Russian aerial bombardment of military installations and energy/ other infrastructure appears relentless. Warned months ago, if there was red line crossed, in this case Crimean Bridge, there would be major escalation. Appears to be move to seek to collapse Kiev govt from within.

Never in history have the masses been vocal about an empire which is in its final days. They won't know until the final hammer falls.

This time this is despite their being numerous warning signs, we have been seeing for years, but more so since early 2020.

If China was to announce tomorrow it was backing the Yuan with gold the dollar would be toast in the blink of an eye. Those that say they can't don't understand the clear difference between the price of gold and the gold price.

Westerners don't appear to grasp that Russia had its collapse in 1991.

They clearly have no idea what happened then and who was behind this collapse either.

West threw everything and the kitchen sink at them then and failed to subjugate Russia.

Ukrainian Presidential Office:

Tomorrow there will be power outages across every region. Ukrainians need to minimize the use of electricity from 7am until 11pm.

This is what happens when you escalate a war. The people suffer.
