So it continues:

Russian CB announced yesterday ruble exchange rates against nine foreign currencies, including the rupee and dirham.

West is so ludicrously arrogant, myopic and naive in its thinking that in its desire to defeat Russia it has failed to grasp that it is a nuclear power and if its sovereignty was truly threatened it would resort to a nuclear war. It has made that very clear.

China's official full year gold production for 2022 rose 13.1%

Anyone seriously believing Ukraine is winning? 5 weeks instead of 12 !?!?

Taxi drivers and hairdressers amongst other Ukrainians to be trained by Australian military, putting them through a 5 week boot camp, compared to 12 weeks for Australian recruits.

US remains clueless about reshoring reality:

Apple’s relationship with China has been described as “untenable,” as company faces criticism from senators on both sides of the political aisle. But unraveling that relationship will take more than 20 years.

Westerners ought to ask themselves why the vast majority of Chinese police don't carry guns.

Compare that to western democracies.

Be informed, not entertained.

Why western sanctions have been useless.

Russia's current account surplus hit a record high in 2022 of $227bn equivalent.

So much for the mass exodus from Russia:

By the end of November 2022, only 8.3% of EU companies had left Russia.

Another spectacularly stupid decision. This will only accelerate de-dollarisation by Global South.

US DOJ:

US intends transferring part of confiscated Russian assets to Ukraine.

Jake Sullivan went to Israel and failed to persuade Netanyahu to overturn Tel Aviv's decision to not send military hardware to Ukraine.

The great energy rotation continues:

Russia to sell oil to Pakistan.

So called friendly nations get cheap energy, western nations buy Russia energy via third parties or alternative suppliers, multiple times higher

It's not rocket science what the outcome will be.

Hubris in west extends to a future financial system. Notion that we have Swift and Dollar and it is impossible for anyone to provide an alternative is utterly ridiculous. Those saying this are also displaying ignorance. What do they think China and Russia are already doing?

There is this misconception that billionaires have their notional wealth tied up in cash. The vast majority of this so-called wealth is tied up in paper assets. What do you think happens when that bubble bursts?

Notice how there is no representation of the Global South and they intend talking about the global economy.

They will find out soon enough why Global South is no longer interested in what they have to say because of their exclusion.

We keep being told, despite the fact Ukraine is winning, that the next set of weapons will be the game changer, only we have lost count of the number of times these game changers have subsequently failed to do precisely that.

Given western nations believe that if Russia wins in Ukraine they will be next, it is ironic that in defending Kiev they are rapidly exhausting their capabilities to defend their own nations in the very scenario they envisage.

Clown show continues:

Austin:

Russia is suffering from global isolation due to the attack on Ukraine.

Meanwhile US itself is continuing to buy Russian oil, fertiliser and other commodities.

So Sunak, who according to the alt media oracle is apparently one of these WEF appointed western leaders, isn't in Davos.

Watch how alt media clowns try to dig their way out of that hole.

So according to Zelensky time is Russia's weapon.

So why does the west keep saying Russia failed because it didn't take Kiev in 3 days?

To those who imagine constant references to western clown show is out of support for Russia fail to grasp that this clown show is going to have very negative impact on their own lives, economically, financially and societally.

Why cheerlead something detrimental to yourself?
