Pretty pricey deal, that. I just wonder how long that's sustainable.

Russian firms' efforts to make payments for goods in #China as secondary sanctions fears spook local banks have generated a flourishing market for middlemen, four sources told Reuters, with up to half of transactions now handled by intermediaries."There are a lot of (Russian) businessmen who just go from bank to bank, opening current accounts," said one of the sources. "If their payment doesn't go through, they go to the next one."

"….wenn wir einen Nachbarn haben wie Russland, der bereit ist mit Krieg führen seine Interessen durchzusetzen, müssen wir überlegen, was wir machen – wie wir uns schützen.
Ja, wir müssen wieder lernen militärische Gewalt wahrzunehmen …….
Das heißt, daß wir anerkennen müssen, daß andere Staaten nach anderen Rationalitäten und mit anderen Mitteln handeln.
Russland hat in den letzten 30 Jahren gelernt, daß es mit Krieg führen seine Ziele erreichen kann: In Tschetschenien, in Georgien, in der Ukraine, in Syrien und Libyen. Und deshalb ist es aus russischer Sicht nachvollziehbar, das auch mit Blick auf die Ukraine anzuwenden…."

Going into below zero territory, are we. Well, as Carol Burnett pointed out in Fade In Fade Out, "There's always one step further down you can go".

#Russia is considering downgrading the level of its diplomatic relations with the #US if Western governments go ahead with proposals to confiscate its frozen assets, state news agency RIA quoted Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei #Ryabkov as saying on Thursday."We are now studying the optimal form of reaction, where countermeasures include actions against the assets of our Western opponents as well as diplomatic response measures."

The Media Lens Chamber Of Propaganda Horrors – An Appeal For Support

Media Lens

Tourists visiting Spanish cities like Córdoba, Toledo and Sevilla have the option of whiling away an hour or so at a ‘Museum of the Inquisition’, sometimes known as a ‘Gallery of Torture’. For around three euros, visitors can view an exotic range of devices used to impale, immolate, strangle and dismember human beings in the name of God.

It’s tempting to reassure ourselves that these are relics of a far-distant past, horrors that could never happen now.

(Text continues underneath the illustration.)

But did the Dark Ages ever really end? Noam Chomsky commented:

‘Part of the tragedy of the Palestinians is that they have essentially no international support. For a good reason – they don’t have wealth, they don’t have power. So they don’t have rights. It’s the way the world works – your rights correspond to your power and your wealth.’

It is indeed the way the world works. It is also the way the medieval world worked. (...)

I suppose the Fediverse has noticed the addition of a pro-China South China press thingie posting on here. I'm keeping an eye on it and I'm sure those who follow me have noticed me boosting a toot or two of theirs; that's because I found their take of a given situation or other an anomaly of their usual position on things.

‘Intelligence Updates’

Social media is a core component of the Imaginary War. Academic research shows #Twitter is home to a massive pro-Ukraine bot army, endlessly pumping out pro-Kiev, anti-Russian messaging. The same is no doubt true of every #social-media platform. This helps create the illusion of nigh-universal support for #Ukraine globally, when outside the West, populations and governments are either neutral, or outright supportive of #Russia, perceiving the conflict to be a strike against #NATO, and Western imperialism.

“This is supposed to be a David and Goliath story. But David and Goliath is a crap story if the giant wins…Predictable, a bit disheartening and not really a story at all, just the way the world works. Besides, a Western audience wants to see the good guy win, both to mete out justice and to enjoy victory by proxy. Ukraine’s anguishing self-defence is not a novel. But it’s not satisfying our fictional appetites.”

Le ministre ukrainien des Affaires étrangères, Dmytro Kouleba, indique que des "mesures" pour faire rentrer en Ukraine ses ressortissants hommes en âge de combattre allaient bientôt être prises. "Séjourner à l'étranger ne dispense pas un citoyen de ses devoirs envers sa patrie"

La France va t elle renvoyer en Ukraine les citoyens ukrainiens en âge de combattre. Ce serait quand même mieux que d'y envoyer des français. :) Enfin, il me semble....
