Vladimir Putin: "We have been trying for decades to build relations with Ukraine."

"Well, we have done everything to build not just good neighborly but fraternal relations in the new geophysical conditions. Russia gave loans to Ukraine, energy resources were supplied almost free of charge – for years! And what... None of our acts of kindness have reached the desired end.
I want to emphasize this – we have nothing to reproach ourselves with, I say this with full responsibility. We have always – and you know my position – considered the Ukrainian people a fraternal people. I still think so. What is happening now is certainly a tragedy, our common tragedy!

Chinese-Russian #oil and #gas trade ignores ridiculous western "#pricecap"

CHINA’S IMPORTS OF RUSSIAN ENERGY HAVE SURGED BY $27 BILLION SINCE INVASION

#Chinese imports of Liquid Natural #Gas (#LNG) from #Russia doubled to 852,000 tons in November compared to the same month in 2021.

#Oil imports from Russia also jumped last month, by 17%, and Russia beat #SaudiArabia to be China’s top oil supplier in November, according to the data.

Chinese imports of Russian #coal surged by 41%, doubling from November 2021, although they were off the record high from September this year.

This month, many independent Chinese refiners based in the Shandong province have continued to buy Russian crude and are ignoring the price cap imposed by Western countries.

INDIA'S MODI IGNORES WESTERN SANCTIONS ON RUSSIA

For India, the reorientation of #Russian economic diplomacy toward the #Asian region presents huge business opportunities.

Who would have thought nine months ago that Russia was going to be the largest supplier of oil to #India, leapfrogging #Iraq, #SaudiArabia and the #US?

According to Reuters, India purchased about 40% of all export volumes of Russian Urals-grade oil transported by sea in November, when #European countries accounted for 25%, #Turkey 15% and #China 5%.

The figures speak for themselves: in November, while Russia supplied 909,000 barrels of crude oil to India per day, the corresponding figures were for #Iraq (861,000), #SaudiArabia (570,000), and the #US (405,000)

Suffice it to say that when Modi upfront listed energy as his talking point with Putin, it reconfirms that India is giving a wide berth to the G7’s hare-brained scheme to impose a #pricecap on Russian oil exports.

🇺🇸🇺🇦The United States, apparently, still does not rule out the possibility of a "nuclear incident" in Ukraine.🇺🇸🇺🇦

The draft US budget for 2023 includes a clause allocating $126.3 million to Ukraine for "preparation for and response to potential nuclear and radiological incidents."

What could that mean? What are they implying?🤔🤔🤔

NO COMMON LANGUAGE FOR PEACE TALKS

In recent days, several significant military and political events have taken place in #Russia, which determined the interim results of military operations and outlined the future direction of Russian foreign policy.

As for the situation on the battlefield, the Chief of the Russian General Staff explained that currently the Russian army is focused on taking control of the full territory of the #Donetsk People’s Republic.

The situation on the front lines, which are currently extended for 815 kilometers, has been stabilized.

In his speech on December 22, Russian President Vladimir #Putin for the first time called the conflict in Ukraine a “war” and not a "special military operation"..... MORE

Putin Makes Plan for Warship Armed with Hypersonic Missiles

Russian President Vladimir Putin has announced the frigate Admiral Gorshkov is to be armed with Zircon hypersonic missiles and will set out on combat patrol in January 2023, state news agency Tass has reported.

Defense minister Sergey Shoigu said delivery of these missiles to the Russian Navy has already begun. The frigate would be armed with these weapons before "embarking on a mission in the world ocean," he said.

Zircon hypersonic missiles are capable of traveling up to nine times the speed of sound with a strike range that may be greater than 620 miles, Putin has said. One was tested on May 28 this year when it was fired from a warship in the Barents Sea, hitting a navel target in the White Sea over 600 miles away.

De-dollarization and the New Economic Order

The Biden administration's idea of transforming the dollar and the global payment system into weapons has caused many countries and investors to actively diversify their assets away from the dollar system. 

As Bloomberg reports, countries such as Bangladesh, Kazakhstan, and Laos are in talks with China to increase their use of the yuan, while Beijing and Moscow are developing joint mechanisms for mutual settlement without using the dollar, and India is promoting its rupee as a regional currency by starting to provide a bilateral payment mechanism with the United Arab Emirates. 

Another reason for the flight from the dollar is its potential strengthening in the coming years due to a change in the course of the Federal Reserve's monetary policy.  Corporations around the world are selling an unprecedented amount of their debt in local currencies, fearing a further strengthening of the dollar. 

As Bloomberg columnist Michel Jamrisco writes, there are increasing voices saying that the dollar is being used to "intimidate small countries." Southeast Asian countries are therefore using this reason to trade more in local currencies, moving away from the dollar.

OUR TANKS ARE KAPUTT, GERMAN GENERAL WARNS

During a recent exercise, all 18 participating Puma infantry fighting vehicles broke down.

BERLIN — Maybe it’s a good thing Germany refused to send Ukraine tanks after all.

German Defense Minister Christine #Lambrecht called an emergency meeting with her generals on Monday to discuss the latest crisis to befall Germany’s beleaguered military: broken tanks.

The emergency meeting follows the leak of an email from a senior commander to the head of the Bundeswehr armed forces, in which he laments the sorry state of his division’s infantry fighting vehicles.

“Even with the best preparations, the question of the vehicles’ readiness has become a game of lottery,” Major General Ruprecht von Butler wrote his boss, according to a copy of the email quoted by Der Spiegel over the weekend.

During an exercise this month to prepare a Bundeswehr tank brigade for inclusion in NATO’s “high readiness” response force, all 18 of the modern German infantry fighting vehicles failed, von Butler wrote.

The tanks, known as Pumas, suffered a myriad of malfunctions from electronic failures to “turret defects.”

Soldiers had to abandon one of the tanks after its wiring caught fire.

FTX: Fellow Executives rat out Sam Bankman-Fried (#SBF) to the Feds

According to a Manhattan Federal prosecutor, two of #FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried’s closest associates have pleaded guilty to fraud and agreed to co-operate with US authorities investigating the collapse of the bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange.

They took a plea deal, one that keeps them out of prison (for now)

The US attorney for the Southern District of New York, announced the guilty pleas and criminal charges against Caroline #Ellison and Zixiao “Gary” Wang, in a short video statement.

The Attorney’s Office agreed not to prosecute Ellison on any of those seven counts in exchange for her cooperation.

Ellison will be permitted bail, provided she can provide a $250,000 personal recognizance bond and restrict travel to the continental United States.

Caroline Ellison Plea Agreement: $250,000 Bail, Surrender of Travel Documents, Forfeiture of Assets

The EU Plans To Impose Direct Carbon Taxes On Individuals

Would you like to pay a carbon tax every time that you turn your heater on? What about every time that you fill up your vehicle with gasoline? Incredibly, this will soon be what life is like in Europe. When I first heard that the EU plans to impose direct carbon taxes on individuals, I thought that it must be just another false Internet rumor. But it isn’t a false rumor. News sources in Europe are reporting on it, and you can find information about this plan on the official website of the European Parliament. I don’t know why the corporate media in the United States is not talking about this, because this is an enormous story.

As I write this article, I am still in shock. This is actually happening, and if this plan is successfully implemented in Europe it will be just a matter of time before a similar plan is pushed through in the United States. The following comes from a Dutch article that has been translated into English…

"Last night, after long negotiations, the bullet went through the church: residents of the European Union must pay for the greenhouse gases they emit. This means that every time you refuel and if the heating is switched on, you have to pay because of the harmful substances that are released as a result."

Of course they are starting small in an attempt to minimize opposition. Once this plan goes into effect, the cost of a liter of gasoline will only go up by about 10 cents…

"The new scheme will entail higher prices at the pump: up to 10.5 cents for a litre of petrol and 12 cents for diesel, according to a study by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Research."

But as we have seen so many other times, once people become accustomed to new taxes rates tend to go up significantly.

According to one prominent member of the European Parliament, the new direct carbon taxes on individuals are part of “the largest climate legislation package in the EU ever”…

" 'I am pleased that a balanced agreement has been reached on the largest climate legislation package in the EU ever,' says Esther de Lange (CDA) MEP. She was one of the negotiators and responsible for the coordination of the Green Deal and chief negotiator on the Social Climate Fund."

We are being told that there is broad support for this climate legislation package across the political spectrum.
