Gresham alive and well in Washington's wartime economy.

LPR, DPR, as well as Kherson and Zaporozhye regions will become part of Russia - there is no doubt about this, said Andrei Turchak, Secretary of the United Russia General Council.



Daily combat losses of Ukraine are about 60-100 soldiers killed and about 500 wounded - Zelensky.


So it is more than that as he has lied through his teeth from the beginning and won't collect the dead and bury them. Russia is burying them so he has no idea how many are dead.

The largest nuclear power plant in Europe is located on the liberated territory of Zaporozhye.

Under the control of Russia, the station continues its work. Chinese journalists called Moscow's move elegant. Ukraine has two options left: either to purchase electricity from Russia, or try to find another exporter.

Russia is ready to sell electricity to Kiev. If it refuses, the station will work for the Russian consumer.

The Russian "Sun" has come to Ukraine.

What you need to know about the heaviest non-nuclear weapons of the Russian Federation.

https://t.me/s/sputnik


Its main feature is ammunition with thermobaric and incendiary warheads that burn the enemy.

A full volley of a heavy flamethrower in 24 rockets is guaranteed to "clear" an area of 4 km2 from the enemy.

A high-temperature field of 3000 degrees with excessive pressure completely destroys infantry and light equipment.

The Russian "Sun" has repeatedly proved its effectiveness in the fight against terrorists in Syria and Iraq.

▪️The development of the system continues. Now the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are already receiving new vehicles — the TOS-2 "Tosochka" based on the armored "Ural".

The ruble has been officially put into circulation on the territory of Kherson since May 30.

All stores are required to trade in rubles and hryvnia, said Kirill Stremousov, deputy head of the military-civil administration of the Kherson region.

And an increase in pensions of 10%.

This is the first in a series of essays by Tim Ferguson, founder of the Anacyclosis Institute, arguing in favour of Rationism, a middle class-oriented political theory that advocates benchmarking the national economy against the national median household net worth. Izabella Kaminska has also described Rationism as Vitruvian Capitalism, based on its promotion of the values of proportion and balance. The series emulates the Federalist Papers and is written under the pen name of Gracchus, a reformer of the Roman Republic.

Note: The purpose of this series is to enable readers to engage an interesting thought experiment through a series of essays defending a hypothetical constitutional amendment. The hypothetical constitutional amendment considered in these essays has not been officially proposed or introduced in any legislative assembly, and The Blind Spot does not engage in lobbying or legislative advocacy or present these essays for such purposes. It is all merely an exercise in the interest of stimulating debate.

To the People of the United States of America:

Property monopolised, or in the possession of a few is a curse to mankind. We should preserve not an absolute equality – this is unnecessary, but preserve all from extreme poverty, and all others from extravagant riches.

– John Adams

No it isn't it is a MMT free zone . Posts regarding MMT are not being accepted in the comments section. They complain about censorship then carry out their own version of it.

Tom-- Oil refineries are built to accept certain feedstocks. Substitution and/ or blending is a difficult undertaking.

One man's stole, is another mans' won.

And ultimately those with the biggest stick decide which word prevails.

Tom Hickey said...

And ultimately those with the biggest stick decide which word prevails.

Exactly.

Might has always made right because that is the evolutionary rule for territorial animals.

"Rights" cannot entirely mask the fact that "in the beginning" there was a commons and that commons was progressively divided up among the strong for as long as they and their inheritors could hold it.

Institutions were formed to prolong the ability of inheritors to hold possession, but eventually might decides the day.

BTW, the way this is why the collective West fears the rise of the dragon, which is the largest by far and breathes fire.

The only way for humanity to rise above this evolutionary law government territorial animals is to rise above it by raising the level of collective consciousness. This is what "culture" is about. It cultures the inherent potential of humans to appreciate universality both individually and socially. It is what the wisdom traditions are about.

If Ukraine had signed the Minsk agreement.


They could have held onto EVERYTHING and stayed neutral.


The West has a Veto on joining Russia and the East had a Veto on joining NATO.


But they decided to wage war on Eastern Ukraine instead. So all bets are off and winner takes all.

Peter Pan said...

I thought they did sign the agreement, but failed to live up to it.

Footsoldier said...

Aye,

Refused to implement it after signing it.


Same old same old. How they put The Berlin wall on wheels.

Turkish President Erdogan announces start of a special operation in Northern Syria.


Turkey launching a new "ANTI-TERRORIST" operation in Syria says President Erdogan.

Ankara plans to create a 30-kilometer-deep "safe zone" and "cleanse the terrorists" in cities of Tall Rifat and Manbij in Northern Syria.


US Secretary of State Antony Blinken announces new $700 million military aid package for Ukraine including long-range missile systems (HIMARS) and other heavy weapons.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken says Kiev assures Washington to not use Western weapons to attack objects located on Russian territory.


Oh dear, what could possibly go wrong.

Footsoldier said...

Who thinks the neo Nazis in Ukraine will not use the long range missiles given to them to hit targets in Russia ?


When they have been hitting targets in Russia with normal artillery shells.


Blinken is a fecking nutjob.



Could be about to make the US a target.










Footsoldier said...

If the neo Nazis hit targets in Russia . Putin will send them back to the stone age.


Then the world will hold its breathe to wait and see if America is hit.





Footsoldier said...

Ah, they have allowed the MMT comments on the article after all
