The ruble weakened below 100 rubles per dollar. Reasons for the weakening of the ruble:

1. Growth in imports, because Russian business managed to restore import flows in the main. This is good.
2. Falling exports because oil prices have fallen and there is a discount due to sanctions. This is bad.
3. The withdrawal of large amounts of foreign currency abroad by foreign businesses that sell their assets in Russia. It's unavoidable.
4. Withdrawal of currency by Russian business, which uses shadow import schemes in order to take the currency abroad. This is very bad.
5. The holiday season, many go to the warm seas abroad and buy the currency. This is good.
6. Money from exports goes in yuan, rupees, dirhams and liras, but there are problems with their conversion. And for exports in a larger proportion, you have to pay in dollars and euros. This is problematic.
7. Passivity of the Central Bank and the Ministry of Finance. This is bad.
8. Passivity of the government as a whole. 100 is not considered a problem. Well, 100 and 100. This is logical.

China becomes world's No.1 maritime fleet owner due to 'strong manufacturing, resilient trade and financial support'

China has overtaken Greece as the world's largest maritime fleet owner in terms of gross tonnage (GT), global shipping information provider Clarksons Research said on Saturday.

Greece held that position for a decade, but China's position as the world's manufacturing hub, its resilient cargo trade and strong financial support for the shipping sector propelled it to the head of the industry, analysts said.

In Primorye (Russian Far East), during the season of floods, tigers began to emerge from the taiga. The general director of the Amur Tiger Center told RIA Novosti that rains and floods usually do not affect predators.

But in the rain, there are difficulties with smells and audibility, so they simply may not see people or a car in time, that is, such meetings are a kind of accident. Video Center "Amur Tiger".

The incident appears to have taken place off the Turkish coast, according to the BBC, and Turkish officials have vowed to investigate. Now, judging by the data of services that track the movement of ships, the bulk carrier is passing along the coast of Bulgaria, heading to the Romanian port of Sulina on the Danube.

Thus, judging by the media information, as a result of the inspection, the ship changed its route from the Ukrainian port of Izmail to the Romanian port of Sulina on the Danube. This fundamentally changes things. Russia at this stage was able to defend its decision to terminate the grain deal. This is very good.

A video of the work of the Odessa air defense has appeared, again it is clear that the missiles do not follow the target and fall on the city

It is necessary to resolve the issue with the work of air defense in cities, the video shows how both missiles go off the trajectory and fall into a residential sector, presumably in a hypermarket that burned down in Odessa. Air defense systems are located in the industrial zone, but there are a large number of residential buildings nearby, only a combination of circumstances made it possible to avoid a great tragedy.

Everyone who is at least somehow interested in the course of the Special Military Operation and the dynamics of the Ukrainian offensive knows that the enemy suffers very heavy losses in people and equipment, but continues to try to pass the foreground and reach the first line of our defense.

On the one hand, the attacks seem to look pointless (each time the same thing, entering our trenches, pulling up equipment, being hit by the Russian artillery and rolling back to the original lines), but in fact it is not.

Yes, the enemy, of course, overestimated his strength and flooded with masses of people and equipment in the hope that our Kharkov “regrouping” would be repeated, but now the Kiev General Staff has reversed plans and began to do what it did in March-July 2022, that is, exchange people to meters in the hope that we will eventually extinguish.

Only if at the beginning of the SMO Zaluzhny stopped our attacks with meat (primarily territorial defence units), now he mirrored the situation. The main part of low-quality human material, mobilized from the rural outback, rushes to the offensive, and the reserves, and above all the Marun tactical group, are waiting in the wings.

By intercepting radio negotiations, it is possible to understand exactly how people are selected for meat assaults. Ukies attack in small infantry groups, and if they manage to jump into our trenches or go into the forest shed nearest to them, he accumulates personnel. Infantry for such attacks is brought up on vehicles, at the turn of the attack the so-called guide is waiting for it, who already brings the soldiers who do not understand where they came to the line from which it is necessary to make a breakthrough. Ukies' artillery begins to work and under its cover the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and for the most part these are poorly trained aged men from the countryside, run/crawl to our positions. And they say goodbye to their loved ones in advance (by the way, they do it right). If they are lucky and manage to run into the first line of trenches, from which ours previously would withdraw letting the artillery and mines to bury the Ukrainian poor fellows, then the ukies begin to try to restore the destroyed fortifications. Often for two or three days without sleep they are engaged in this work. The majority, as a rule, do not live longer. Most of them die, the lucky ones manage to retreat, ours again occupy the lost positions. And so day after day, for a month and a half.

Now to the beginning of the post, why actually all this is needed. Valera Zaluzhny, the “master” of meat assaults and meat defense, is thus trying to push through our defensive orders as much as possible, so that, over the corpses of “unnecessary” soldiers, to bring reserves into the breakthrough. Sometimes it seems to the enemy command that a breakthrough is close, he begins to drive the equipment forward, reinforcing it with better human material in order to develop success. Equipment is burned with artillery, Lancets, army aviation and everything starts over. To be understood correctly: I’m not saying that it’s easy for us and that we will throw hats at the enemy, the meaning of the post is to explain what tactics the enemy is now following and, in my opinion, men from Zaluzhny will end up faster than our projectiles.

There is no "Nazism" in Ukraine, so much "nooo" that even the Germans, led by the grandson of the Gruppen-Führer of the SS "who died near Narva" — Scholz, could not stand it.

For training in Germany, the Kiev "non-Nazi" regime sent not ordinary mobilised soldiers, but loyal and devoted to the Kiev regime. And it so "coincidentally" that they are usually decorated from head to toe with swastikas and other symbols of Nazism, which clearly proves that "there is no Nazism in Ukraine."

The German leadership would not have noticed, many of them would not mind. But the people in Germany began to resent, seeing that they were helping outright Nazis. And the photos of the "trained" with swastikas and Nazi eagles are distributed all over the world, and greatly contradict to the propaganda narrative that Russia is waging war against the "poor sheep", and not against the inveterate Nazis, who do not hide this, and are even proud of it.

As a result, the Germans drew up an official appeal to the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, demanding that those decorated with swastikas be not allowed to be sent to study in Germany. And they threatened that they would not only be sent back, but also imprisoned "up to 3 years."

In Kiev, they understand that this cuts off a significant part of the ideological supporters of the regime, but they were left with no choice. In this connection, an order appeared signed by General of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Shapovalov (and the surname is Russian — another traitor), demanding that everyone be checked for the presence of this kind of tattoos before sending, so that there would be no conflicts with the Germans.

It is especially emphasized — to check right before sending, so that they do not have time to make a tattoo between checking and sending. This is an important point. Those who are not eager "to meet Bandera", and are not eager to die for billions of Zelensky and the interests of the United States, can see in this the emergence of a choice for themselves: what is better, spend 3 years in comfortable conditions in a German prison, and then remove a tattoo, or forever remain fertilizer in the steppes of Donbass.

Scans of the original order are attached so that everyone can familiarize themselves. (See more scans on the source page).

MOSCOW, August 14. /tass/. Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev noted the absurdity of the situation with Finland's accession to NATO. He published an anecdote in the Telegram channel in the form of a conversation between two Finns.

"Pekka, why did our country join NATO?" the first one asks. "We are threatened by the Russians," his interlocutor replies. "And why are they threatening us?" "Because, Matti, we are joining NATO," concludes Pekka.

Finland had a neutral status after World War II, but decided to join the North Atlantic Alliance in 2022. In April 2023, the country officially became the 31st member of NATO.

US Presidential Candidate Robert Kennedy Jr.:

"We are provoking Russia. Not only did we make the worst geopolitical mistake, which is that we pushed the Russians to embrace China, which is the worst geopolitical outcome we can imagine, we, in fact, spurred the creation of BRICS. 40 countries are now threatening to abandon the dollar as the world's reserve currency. If this continues, the Great Depression will seem like a cakewalk to us. Also, most importantly, the Russians have more nuclear weapons than we do. They have at least 1,000 more nuclear weapons than we do. And many people claim that their weapons are much better than ours. That they have anti-ballistic weapons that really work, that will stop missiles flying into Russia, and that our weapons are significantly inferior. So why are we provoking a war with a nuclear superpower?"

Does anyone think that this guy is on the side of Russia, and not just scared of what the American government has done?
