The sanctioned countries no longer need the Western system for transactions -says the deputy head of the Central Bank of Iran
Russia and Iran ditch SWIFT

Iran and Russia have officially switched from the West’s SWIFT system to a direct interbank transfers mechanism - the deputy head of the Central Bank of Iran (CBI) has said.

Mohsen Karimi told Iranian state television on Sunday that the system allows companies in both countries to trade in their respective national currencies instead of using the dollar or euro - FARS news agency reported.

“We have linked the financial correspondence networks of the two countries,” he explained.

“This means that the banks of our two countries no longer need Switzerland to communicate with each other and commercial banks of both countries can establish brokerage relations with each other.

The [Iranian] exporter can now charge the Russian side in rials and receive money from them via Russian banks in Iran,” Karimi added - noting that the system also allows for payments in Russian rubles.

Well, this is pretty interesting! Probably blow over in a few days, all the idiots will forget it. But intelligent people will remember the tunnels under Comet Pizza, and maybe what John Carpenter was trying to tell us in "They Live" and what Stanley Kubrick was saying in "Eyes Wide Shut".

"Conspiracy theory" is just another way of saying "the truth". Open your eyes and see it, if you have the guts.

🚨#BREAKING: Riot Unfolds as NYPD Responds to Discovery of Underground Tunnel in Brooklyn Temple

📌#CrownHeights | #Brooklyn

Currently, numerous law enforcementare at the scene of a riot at the Chabad headquarters in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, where individuals tore wooden panels to prevent a cement truck from sealing off the recently discovered tunnels. Police intervened by ripping wooden panels to thwart the cement truck's actions. The underground tunnels, secretly built by a group, including members of the Jewish community, about 6 months ago in an attempt to expand the iconic synagogue, were the focal point. Despite police intervention, numerous people refused to vacate the tunnels, leading to the arrest of at least ten individuals after a scuffle with the NYPD inside 770.

Two pieces of shit, BOTH OWNED BY CHABAD, conniving together to make "American" idiots think that voting makes any difference. It doesn't. It's political masturbation - might feel good for a minute, but pure fantasy, a waste of time and energy that accomplishes and means nothing, rather disgusting and undignified, and only leaves a mess that somebody sooner or later is going to have to clean up.

"Ask Zelensky for the money." The greatest quote of 2024 so far...

🇦🇪🇮🇱 UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan has rejected Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's request to pay wages to Palestinian workers who were banned from entering Israel, Axios reports, citing a source.

Several weeks ago, the Israeli prime minister reportedly asked the UAE leader to pay unemployment benefits to Palestinian workers from the West Bank, whom Israel had banned from entering its territory following the October 7 attack by the Palestinian Hamas movement.

“Ask Zelensky for money,” Al Nahyan responded sarcastically to Netanyahu’s request, according to the outlet’s sources.

The UAE president was shocked that the Israeli prime minister thought he would be willing to pay for the problem that had arisen due to the Israeli decision not to let the workers in, the outlet’s source notes.

According to Axios, the UAE president said Zelensky receives a lot of money from other countries, "so maybe he could help" Netanyahu.

Meanwhile, in Banderastan...
Ukrainian TG channels write that their citizens are closing their bank cards en masse and withdrawing all the money from their bank accounts.

This is being done in anticipation of the adoption of the law on enhanced mobilization, which Verkhovna Rada should adopt on January 9 or 10. The law specifies financial and property restrictions for draft dodgers, incl. blocking bank accounts and cards. - FRWL reports.

Oleg Tsarev today -

"Speaker of the US House of Representatives, Republican Mike Johnson, said that President Joe Biden's administration needs to develop and clarify a strategy regarding Ukraine. According to him, it is important to determine the purpose of the financial and military support provided to the Ukrainian authorities.

Just the other day, Ron DeSantis, the governor of Florida and one of the Republican presidential candidates, made a similar speech. As I expected, Biden’s competitors are promoting this thesis as the most spectacular and effective.

And also truthful. After all, this is indeed a clear problem on the part of the United States: the White House does not communicate the ultimate goals of its support for Ukraine and does not have a clear scenario and strategy for ending this war. They won’t be able to define vague goals in the form of “demilitarization and denazification.”

The formulated strategy of “supporting Ukraine for as long as it takes” raises natural questions: how much will it take? and how will it end? and why should the American taxpayer pay for all this?

Biden may respond that the task is to return Ukraine, in accordance with Zelensky’s plan, to the 1991 borders. To this he will be asked the following question: will this be the end and at that moment Russia will stop fighting? It is obvious that even if we imagine such a fantastic option, Russia will not stop fighting. This means that this will not be the end of the war, and this scenario does not fit.

Maybe Biden should be offered to freeze the conflict, and let Russia control the territory it currently controls, and Ukraine the rest? But then they will naturally object to him: why was so much money spent then? It was necessary to sign the agreement in Istanbul, as Russia proposed. Biden will be told the same thing if he proposes that Ukraine lose.

Biden does not have good answers to the question of the scenario for ending the Ukrainian conflict. No matter what he answers, he gets hit. That is why this unpleasant question for him will be asked all the time.

How did the Biden administration get into this situation, since Americans have always been famous for their ability to play the long game and achieve strategic goals? Very simple. They didn't expect to find themselves in such a situation. Sullivan's interview says that the United States assumed that Kyiv would be taken under control by Russian troops in a very short time. The fact that they didn’t take it was a complete surprise for the USA, Russia and, in my opinion, for Ukraine itself.

If the Russian Armed Forces took control of Ukraine, there would be no one to allocate money and weapons. But then you could get everything that you get now, but for free. The European energy market, the consolidation and expansion of NATO, etc. After the forecast of the capture of Kyiv in three days did not come true, the United States conducted serious audits of its analytical agencies.

Subsequently, as stated in the same interview, the Biden administration was forced to act situationally. At the same time, drawing two red lines for yourself. Russia cannot be provoked into attacking NATO, and disintegration and chaos in a nuclear power, Russia, cannot be allowed. The latter was fully realized in the United States during Prigozhin’s putsch. The United States considers the risks arising from both scenarios to be prohibitive and unjustified.

While busy collecting tactical victories, the Biden administration has a strategic problem. The longer the conflict lasts, the closer Russia is to China. And this is very serious.

Biden, as I already said, cannot name a goal for the United States in the Ukrainian conflict. How will he act? There is an exit. Zelensky should name the target. And the United States will help achieve it. Only Zelensky’s goal must be named as something that suits Russia. Otherwise, Russia will not agree. The most important thing is that Zelensky takes on political responsibility and all the negativity. Then Biden will be able to say with a clear conscience that the US goal in this conflict is to help Ukraine achieve what it wants and wash its hands of it. And what we are now seeing is the process of forcing Zelensky to do this."

It turns out that our Federation was at the top of the list of countries by the number of sanctions (or correctly restriction) imposed against them even before February 2022. But the domestic intelligentsia doesn't know this. Or does not notice it. His world collapsed in February.

It is reported that at the moment Russia is the country with the largest number of sanctions in the world - 16,077 against Russian individuals and legal entities.

Leading the current round of sanctions against Russia are the United States, Canada, Switzerland and the United Kingdom with 3,551, 2,765, 2,225 and 1,749 restrictions respectively. The majority of these sanctions target individuals (11,462), while there are 4,344 sanctions against entities, 169 against vessels, and 102 against aircraft. These figures do not include sectoral sanctions such as a general trade embargo on gas or oil.

Under all this heavy weight, we should have torn ourselves apart long ago. And run to atoms. Did we? No. Why?

Don't forget who we are, what we do, and why we do it.
