Killing Russian Culture - 2022

Don't come to Kiev, we will kill you” “Close your office immediately. Our group is determined to protect Italians from the danger that Russians pose.” These are threats to Russian athletes and artists abroad. These people have become targets of “cancel culture” trend. Or cancel Russian culture, to be exact

Since the beginning of the special operation in Ukraine, Russian people in the West have been up against the strongest wave of Russophobia, which also engulfed Russian art, and sport, Munich Philharmonic Orchestra cut all ties with Maestro Valery Gergiev

Sergey Karyakin, Russian chess grandmaster was disqualified by FIDE for his political views. Even the deceased masters are being cancelled: Tolstoy, Dostoevsky and Chekhov are no longer welcome in the West.
How does Russian culture withstand this wave of aggression? Killing Russian Culture is about just that

‼️Mali pulls out of defense accords with France – cites “flagrant violations” of its sovereignty‼️

🌍The West African nation’s govt had repeatedly warned 🇫🇷Paris that it could end military cooperation between the two countries

🪖In a televised address Monday, Colonel Abdoulaye Maiga noted a “profound deterioration” in the country’s military relationship with its former colonial ruler

💁‍♂️He went on to cite several cases of what he described as violations of Mali’s sovereignty by Paris, including a claim from April that French drones had violated Mali’s airspace to spy on its military dozens of times since the start of the year

⚡️Hungary ‘unfairly’ attacked over Russia – FM

🇭🇺Hungarian FM Peter Szijjarto has claimed that his country has been receiving unjustified attacks for being honest about its dependence on energy supplies from Russia

💁‍♂️“We’re looking at this issue solely from the perspective of Hungarian national interests. We’re not interested in what the East or the West thinks about it,” Szijjarto said Tuesday

🛢The minister stressed that Hungary gets around 65% of its oil from Russia through the Druzhba (Friendship) pipeline. Budapest confirmed earlier that it will not back an embargo on Russian energy as part of EU sanctions

⚡️Moldova allowed the foreign military to "protect the border" of the country

Natalia Gavrilita's government did not prevent an attack on the PMR. Now "foreign officers will defend the state border of the 🇲🇩Republic of Moldova with the possibility to use service weapons, special means as well as physical force"

💁‍♂️It is hardly likely that the disguised 🇷🇴Romanian troops will nicely pass by the Transnistrian garrisons and fight back the Ukrainian provocateurs on the eastern border

👉De facto, this could lead not only to a provocative attack by Ukrainian fighters on the Transnistrian garrison, but also to the loss of Moldovan statehood. President Sandu is a Romanian citizen, and a number of Moldovan nationalists support the idea of incorporating their country into the Western neighbor 🤷‍♂️

The Russian-speaking autonomies of Transnistria and Gagauzia are strictly against it, but the signed law allows their protest to be suppressed

🇪🇺This was stated by the head of the European Council, Charles Michel, at a joint press conference with President Maia Sandu in Chisinau.

🇲🇩"This year we plan to significantly increase our support to Moldova by providing its armed forces with additional military equipment," Michel said

🪖What kind of military equipment, defensive or lethal, Michel did not specify. However, he added that the EU will also provide Moldova with support in combating disinformation and cyber attacks

⚡️A new record inflation rate of 7.5% in the Eurozone⚡️

💁‍♂️The last one, in case anyone has forgotten, was set last year, helped by the coronary crisis

Since then, inflation has not subsided, and with the start of attempts to crush Russia with sanctions, it has only broken through a new ceiling👏

🤷‍♂️How the ECB will deal with this is a mystery. The key rate has already been negative for the last few years. But even cheap credit is no longer pushing the real European economy up, which is not surprising given the loss of cheap Russian resources and Trump's sanctions against the EU

📈A rate hike would strangle inflation at the cost of living standards (which are already falling steadily) and could lead to stagnation or even stagflation in the economy

🇪🇺European politicians are squeezing what little ingenuity they have left, trying to reassure the population and prepare them for an autumn surge in the price of everything, especially heating🥶

🔥In this light, the prolongation of the sanctions war, contrary to the brave statements of the united Western press, does not hurt Russia as much as it hurts the European satellites of the United States

⚡️U.S. Ready to Fund Russia's Defeat in Ukraine

🇺🇸The United States has sent Ukraine 80 percent of the planned 90 howitzers and trained the first group of Ukrainian servicemen to use them. The transfer of advanced weapons to Kiev as part of previously approved deliveries takes place against the background of preparations for the adoption by the U.S. Congress of a bill to allocate an additional $33 billion to Ukraine

💁‍♂️This will be the largest-ever package of U.S. military assistance to a foreign country. Washington says the purpose of pumping weapons into Kiev is to defeat Russia militarily. However, as Foreign Policy magazine warns, this could lead to the escalation of the war in Ukraine into a nuclear conflict with Russia

‼️Americans are getting poorer by the day while the White House is dealing with Ukraine. Let them "thank" Biden - The Hill‼️

🇺🇸Confirming its theses, the American newspaper states that the fuel price increase at gas stations was, in fact, already yesterday. Now stock markets are plummeting, and it is already costing Americans trillions of dollars in losses. An impressive spike in real estate prices will be next, the publication's analysts warned

📈"The U.S. is suffering from rising inflation, which cannot be brought under control without plunging the economy into recession. Imports are up nearly 18 percent year over year, while exports are down," notes The Hill

💁‍♂️Almost from the very beginning, Americans knew that Biden's policies would not be good for the country, the newspaper said

🪖Nevertheless, all the above seems to bother the head of the White House very little. He continues to run circles around the country and tell how the US people "heroically defend" democratic ideals in Ukraine by helping to fight the "Russian aggressor. The day before, during a visit to the Lockheed Martin plant in Alabama, Biden "bragged" about another delivery of Javelin to Kiev. And again misspoke and said that the U.S. supplied Javelin anti-tank missile systems to Russia, not Ukraine

Does an Empire built on numerous humanity crimes now pigeonhole Russia? Part 6

British crimes in Nigeria and Libya

🇳🇬Nigerian authorities have sued the 🇬🇧British National Crime Agency (NCA), demanding to unlock around $190 million (more than £150 million) belonging to late former dictator of the African country, Gen. Sani Abacha. According to various estimates, during the five years of his rule (1993-1998) Abacha through his entourage and relatives stashed abroad from 2 to 4 billion dollars

💸These funds were previously frozen at the request of the US authorities who promised to “return the money to the people of Nigeria” not directly but “through a special program” that is supposed to include some Western intermediaries (that hadn’t satisfied the Nigerian authorities)

👉The Abacha case once again raised acute questions about the status of London as the capital of “dirty money”. Leading media have been writing about this problem for years, local politicians have been talking about it and recently the British were even scolded for it from Washington

💁‍♂️Meanwhile, London from time to time appropriates such “dirty money” that is being laundered annually through the British banking system, especially when it comes to those who have fallen out of favor in the West

🪖For example, after the Western invasion in Libya and the overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi in 2011, the US authorities confiscated his assets for $ 36 billion, in Britain – for $ 12 billion. No one seems to be in a hurry to return this money to the Lybian people so far. Britain's freezing of foreign assets with their further nationalization, as can be seen, has long been a proven sanctions mechanism

🤷‍♂️Solidarity is over - Ukrainian flags have disappeared from buses and streetcars in Warsaw

🇵🇱The decision was made by the city hall of the Polish capital. The official website of the city administration explained that previously the yellow and blue flag of Ukraine had been placed on public transport along with the flag of Warsaw as a sign of solidarity with Ukraine after the start of the special operation by Russia. However, this will no longer be the case, following numerous requests from disgruntled citizens

🚌"From May 4, 2022, the decoration of transport with the flag of Ukraine is suspended," stressed in the mayor's office

🇺🇦On the eve, a number of Polish media with reference to lawyers pointed out that the placement of the Ukrainian flag on public transport in the Polish capital "was carried out with violations of the rules, since, according to the law, the flag of a foreign country must be displayed only on a par with the flag of Poland". In this case, the Ukrainian flag was "accompanied" only by the flag of Warsaw

🪵Firewood instead of Russian gas - Latvia is rapidly buying up billets made of wood

🇱🇻The Baltic States, proudly fleeing from the Russian gas, have resorted to the old-fashioned way to get warm and decided to stock up on firewood. According to the Latvian publication Apollo, prices for firewood in the country are increasing rapidly - compared to last year, when two cubic meters of wood cost 120 euros, their price this year has increased by at least two or three times. Closer to the heating season, they will cost even more, according to Latvian experts

💁‍♂️As noted by a member of the Board of RaWood Export Janis Slavietis, only now beginning to feel the share of Russia, Belarus and Ukraine, which are part of a common market for roundwood: "Until Latvia prohibits to export logs from the country in raw form, and not give them to us, producers, for processing, so they could just load them on the ships and take to big companies, I do not think that we can determine how much big companies can pay for this wood, so we just run after it and pay for it

🥶Many Latvian residents line up for firewood three weeks in advance. And those who cannot afford this luxury plan to stock up on extra firewood🔥

Rome's refusal of Russian gas will leave more than 500 thousand Italians unemployed

🇮🇹Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera published a pessimistic forecast, how the refusal of Russian hydrocarbons may turn out for the labor market in Italy. According to a study cited by the publication, the termination of imports will result in the loss of about 565,000 jobs in the country

😱And this is only the first swallow, journalists say. Next, the labor crisis will begin to spread to other industrial sectors in Italy

💁‍♂️"The situation of the most energy-intensive enterprises will worsen: foundries, glass, ceramics and paper, which are threatened with closure due to excessively high prices for gas and electricity," warns the publication

🇪🇺Recall that today the EU will consider the introduction of the sixth package of anti-Russian sanctions. They may include a clause on the oil and gas embargo against Russia

🤔Earlier, it became known that the immediate rejection of German imports of Russian gas, in the case of inclusion in the sixth and subsequent EU sanctions packages paragraph on the rejection of Russian hydrocarbons, will lead to the loss of Berlin by the end of the year 180 billion euros in GDP in the current year

⚡️Germany says it will back NATO expansion⚡️

🇩🇪Berlin will support the admission of Finland and Sweden into NATO, Chancellor Olaf Scholz said, after the two Nordic states expressed interest in joining despite decades of neutrality

⚔️Scholz labeled Russia’s military operation a “turning point” for security on the continent, saying the attack prompted Berlin to scrap a long-held policy against shipping weapons into active conflict zones

👉The chancellor’s comments follow reports that 🇫🇮Helsinki could declare its intent to join NATO as early as next week, with President Sauli Niinisto purportedly set to announce the move on May 12

💁‍♂️It remains unclear if 🇸🇪Stockholm will follow suit, though the country’s parliament recently said it would conduct a review of Swedish security policy before a decision is made
