The Chinese leader warned the US and EU restrictions against Moscow would hurt people worldwide
Chinese President Xi Jinping has eviscerated the US and EU for imposing sanctions on Russia, warning that weaponizing their financial position would bring disaster to people worldwide.
โTo politicize the global economy and turn it into oneโs tool or weapon, and willfully impose sanctions by using oneโs primary position in the international financial and monetary systems, will only end up hurting oneโs own interests as well as those of others, and inflict suffering on everyone,โ Xi said in his keynote speech at the...

It will take several years to replenish Britainโs arsenal, the head of its armed forces admits
It could take years for the UK to replace weapons that it has funneled to Ukraine amid the ongoing conflict with Russia, the chief of the defense staff, Admiral Tony Radakin, has admitted. He made the remarks on Wednesday as he spoke before a parliamentary committee.
Replacing even less sophisticated weapons sent to Ukraine could take โseveral yearsโ due to constraints on the UKโs industrial capacity. The โrate of expenditureโ of weapons by the Ukrainian military and Britainโs capability to...

Officials have warned of community spread after traces of poliovirus were found in London sewage
Traces of the virus causing poliomyelitis have been found in sewage samples in north and east London, the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) said on Wednesday.

While no incidents of community spread have yet been found, health officials warn that it is โlikely.โ

โExile on Main Street: The Sound of the Unipolar World Fading Away
Strategic Culture Foundation (RSS)
The future world order, already in progress, will be formed by strong sovereign states. The ship has sailed. Thereโs no turning back.
Letโs cut to the chase and roll in the Putin Top Ten of the New Era, announced by the Russian President live at the St. Petersburg forum for both the Global North and South.
The era of the unipolar world is over.
The rupture with the West is irreversible and definitive. No pressure from the West will change it.
Russia has renewed with its sovereignty. Reinforcement of political and economic sovereignty is an absolute priority.
The EU has completely lost its political sovereignty. The current crisis shows the EU is not ready to play the role of an independent, sovereign actor. Itโs just en ensemble of American vassals deprived of any politico-military sovereignty.
Sovereignty cannot be partial. Either youโre a sovereign or a colony.
Hunger in the poorest nations will be on the conscience of the West and euro-democracy.
Russia will supply grains to the poorer nations in Africa and the Middle East.
Russia will invest in internal economic development and reorientation of trade towards nations independent of the U.S.
The future world order, already in progress, will be formed by strong sovereign states.
The ship has sailed. Thereโs no turning back.
How does it feel, for the collective West, to be caught in such a crossfire hurricane? Well, it gets more devastating when we add to the new roadmap the latest on the energy front.
Rosneft CEO Igor Sechin, in St. Petersburg, stressed that the global economic crisis is gaining momentum not because of sanctions, but exacerbated by them; Europe โcommits energy suicideโ by sanctioning Russia; sanctions against Russia have done away with the much lauded โgreen transitionโ, as that is no longer needed to manipulate markets; and Russia, with its vast energy potential, โis the Noahโs Ark of the world economy.โ
For his part Gazprom CEO Alexey Miller could not be more scathing on the sharp decline in the gas flow to the EU due to Siemensโ refusal and/or incapacity to repair the Nord Stream 1 pumping engine: โWell, of course, Gazprom was forced to reduce the volume of gas supplies to Europe by 20%+. But you know, prices have increased not by 20%+, but by several times! Therefore, Iโm sorry if I say that we donโt feel offended by anyone, we are not particularly concerned by this situation.โ
If this pain dial overdrive was not enough to hurl the collective West โ or NATOstan โ into Terminal Hysteria, then Putinโs sharp comment on possibly allowing Mr. Sarmat to present his business card to โdecision-making centers in Kievโ, those that are ordering the current shelling and killing of civilians in Donetsk, definitely did the trick:
โAs for the red lines, let me keep them to myself, because this will mean quite tough actions on the decision-making centers. But this is an area that shouldnโt be disclosed to people outside the military-political leadership of the country. Those who deserve appropriate actions on our part should draw a conclusion for themselves โ what they may face if they cross the line.โ
Baby please, stop breaking down
Alastair Crooke has masterfully outlined how the collective Westโs zugzwang leaves it lumbering around, dazed and confused. Now letโs examine the state of play on the opposite side of the chessboard, focusing on the BRICS summit this Thursday in Beijing.
As much as the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), t...

โRussiaโs New Rules
Strategic Culture Foundation (RSS)
By Tom LUONGO
Russia is done with the West. The divorce is nearly complete. In the past few days weโve heard from all major Russian leaders the same thing, โThe West will play by our rules now.โ
You can decide for yourselves whether Russia is writing checks they canโt cash, but in the words of Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov telling the BBC bluntly, โWe do not care about the eyes of the West.โ Lavrov has always been the soul of politeness and discretion when dealing with European media.
His open hostility towards his BBC interviewer was not only palpable, it was hard to argue with. He followed that up with:
โI donโt think thereโs even room for maneuver left anymore,โ Lavrov replied.
โBecause both [Prime Minister Boris] Johnson and [Foreign Secretary Liz] Truss say publicly: โWe must defeat Russia, we must bring Russia to its knees. Go on, then, do it.โ
Russiaโs leadership never talks in such openly blunt terms. Itโs almost like Lavrov was channeling comedian Dennis Miller who used to say, โFeeling froggy, take that leap.โ
See where it gets you.
Russia knows it has the West on the ropes. We need what they produce and now they are determined to set the rules on who gets them and for what price. It knows that European leaders are puppets with Klaus Schwabโs hand up their asses.
And it knows Davos has zero leverage over Russiaโs actions from here on out.
Which brings me to the statements linked above by Gazprom CEO Alexei Miller, speaking at a panel at the St. Petersburg Economic Investment Forum (SPEIF) who just put the situation in the starkest terms there is.
โThe game of nominal value of money is over, as this system does not allow to control the supply of resources. โฆOur product, our rules. We donโt play by the rules we didnโt create.โ
Millerโs statement should be thought of as a statement of principle across all theatres of operation for Russia. This doesnโt just apply to natural gas or oil. This is everything, all of Russiaโs dealings with the West from here on out will be on its terms not the Westโs.
This is clearly the biggest geopolitical middle finger in the post WWII period.
Miller is clearly laying out the rules for a new, commodity-centric monetary system, one based on what Credit Suisseโs Zoltan Poszar called โoutside moneyโ โ commodities, gold, even bitcoin โ rather than the Westโs egregious use of โinside moneyโ โ debt-based fiat and credit โ to perpetuate old colonialist behavior well past its use-by date.
I laid out the basic problem in an article from March after Russia soft-pegged the ruble to gold.
Todayโs โInside Moneyโ standard, known colloquially as the Dollar Reserve standard, is actually what I like to call โMilton Friedmanโs Nightmare.โ It is nothing more than a system of competitively devalued and inflated debt-based scrips running around drinking each otherโs milkshakes until everyoneโs glass is empty.
Miller is definitely a glass full kinda guy now.
These comments came after Gazprom began cutting gas flows to Europe through the Nordstream 1 pipeline using the cover story of repaired gas turbines trapped in fascist Canada which couldnโt be shipped back to Siemens because of sanctions.
Now Germany and Canada are trying to figure out how to circumvent the sanctions to get these turbines back.
At the same time Miller pledged more gas to China (up 67% yoy through May) be...
