Russia-Ukraine War - News and Developments

[MH.Yang]

The west has little say, especially since the US don't even have a foothold in The Old World. Europeans would benefit by having One Road connected to China.

No country can make such a great country as Russia a puppet. I thank you for overestimating China, but China can't.
China and Russia are equal allies. We are all P5 countries. We are friends at the same level.

Then you will decrease the value Yuan is holding with USD (that's weakening Yuan position in case you don't know what you are talking about) then using that same money and forward it to Russia, that mean you are taking them away to circulation in China and hand it to Russia, now, what do you have in Russia that can back this deal? Oil?

You dont need to back the deal, Russia gets Yuan and uses it to buy Chinese goods the same day. You are twisting your self up in knots with this idea that there must be some backing or extra printing of money or extra generating of yuan. China already had that money with which to buy oil.

Did you think USA would win in Afghanistan?

Afghanistan's geographical features are different than Ukraine's, in case you didn't know. The geo-political dynamics are different today than 40 years ago. You're free to believe in what you want to believe.

You do know the way to "Guarantee" is for you to say "I can sell it at X amount of price"

That is what we called "Asking Price......."

With this sanction, that X is 0 because you are not allow to trade Gold or Silver or anything......


The part where you get the initial Yuan to buy Russian Oil to begin with. Money DO NOT COME OUT OF NOWHERE. You either need to print them or swap it with something.

You fundamentally misunderstand the banking system I think. Money does come out of nowhere, and it does not need to be printed.

A win for Russia is a win for China.

1. Russia is a puppet / proxy country of China.

2. Russia is a neighbor of China.

3. Domination of Ukraine enables China to connect to western Europe via the One Road program, connecting the western shores of The Old World with the eastern shores of The Old World.

Please elaborate, how is Russia a puppet of China?

He denies genocide that was committed against muslims. He supports a territorially expanded Serbia and Russia and Claims Turkish land as greek. And you think his heart os in the right place.

Maybe I was a little too generous. I thought he was caring for the Russian speaking people in Ukraine and for the Iraqis who got illegally attacked.
We are all a mixed bag though.

 

[Hack-Hook]

Jhungary means that China's foreign exchange reserves can only ensure that the exchange rate of CNY does not depreciate, but can not ensure that CNY does not depreciate at home, that is, inflation, because the US dollar cannot circulate in China.
He meant that if CNY appreciated in the international market and depreciated in the domestic market, it would be unacceptable to the Chinese government.

This view is correct. But he seriously underestimated China's manufacturing capacity, and 6 trillion CNY could not bring inflation.

printing money only result in inflation only if you cant use it . here the money is being used in trades

Russians will use these to buy goods from China, so the money will enter China's domestic market. However, the China's manufacturing capacity is very strong, and only 6 trillion CNY can not bring inflation.

The most important reason is that this additional 6 trillion CNY will only appear in the first transaction. If it is an annual issuance of 6 trillion CNY, the Chinese govt really can't accept it.

Native Russian speaking people of Ukraine are demanding more weapons and a no fly zone, One of them asked the US senate to provide it. His name was Zelinski.

There is a possibility that Russia is changing tactic as a result of Western arms support, particularly anti tank weapons which makes tanks and vehicles particularly vulnerable in urban areas. This will force Russia to use missiles cruise missiles and aerial bombing which inevitably causes more destruction and collateral deaths of civilians.. Russia will not and cannot stop as it would be intolerable for Russia to be seen as being defeated by Ukraine whilst they have a full arsenal of weapons that could completely destroy Ukraine



You can conscript to defend a country but it much harder to take a country using them. And stupid Russians have just proven it to be the case

First, Russia is focusing on Eastern and Southern Ukraine, and they're achieving those objectives. Western media doesn't show the true nature of the war. The noose is tightening up on the Ukrainian forces in the South and the East of the country.

Second, Russia has no interest in Western Ukraine other than making sure NATO doesn't station their forces there, and the Ukrainian govt agrees to limits of its military. Through the current encirclement of Kiev, Russia seems to be getting there.

Third, while Western powers are using financial sanctions to punish Russia, the Russians are using their hydrocarbon and other resources to put pressure on EU and others who rely on these commodities. In the end, the pain is felt on all sides.

Financially, for the first time in a century and a half, Russia led by Putin achieved something no one else ever successfully tried: The rejection of the US Dollar. While China also formed the CISP in order to bypass the Western-backed SWIFT banking system, it is the sheer determination of Vladimir Putin who has put his neck out there when it comes to rejecting the US dollar.

Many of the people are focusing on the tactical battles in Ukraine, but from a Western perspective, the strategic objective of this war is about preserving the US Dollar as the fiat money in all trade. Russia, China, and Iran have decided to bypass that arrangement. Today, if a country is sanctioned by the West, such country can turn to CISP and SPFS financial systems. Countries today can demand all trade and finance transactions be conducted in their currencies and the Yuan or Ruble based on Gold and Silver. Or if the transaction doesn't involve China or Russia, they can use their own currencies and use Gold as a standard to determine the exchange ratio. This is the beginning of the end of the Western hegemony.

This is also a fulfillment of an Islamic prophecy that all trade and financial transactions will in the end be carried out based on Gold and Silver. Bye-bye to the paper-based fraudulent money that Paix Judaica was using to abuse the rest of the world. But make no mistake about it: We're heading to turbulent waters and major upheavals are ahead of us. The empire of the Antichrist will not go down easily.

I'm 90% sure that Zelensky is hiding in Poland. Some news reports said that he's in the US embassy there.

It's a joke to imagine that leaders of other countries have been travelling to Kiev, which is surrounded by Russian forces, to see Zelensky. Who are they kidding?

Ukraine war: European leaders risk train ride to meet Zelensky

The prime ministers of Poland, Slovenia and the Czech Republic met Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky on Tuesday evening as a curfew began in Kyiv.

Ukraine war: European leaders risk train ride to meet Zelensky

After a perilous train journey from Poland to Kyiv, European leaders tell Ukraine "you're not alone".

www.bbc.com

Let's see. Russian aircraft and cruise missile are vaporizing military bases right on the Polish border, based on first hand foreign accounts. Journalists are getting sniped or shelled right across the border.

But these very super democratic leaders are gonna take the risk to travel to Kiev across 500+ km of war zone.

The obvious question is what they want to do now.

Ukrainians are now very successful with their defence anchored around large cities. Russian attrition rates against this strategy are scaring Russians from further moves.

All their action for the last week was trying to take smaller, less defended towns.

Will Ukrainians risk compromising their very good defensive stance by repositioning troops for the offensive, while knowing that their numbers, and own offensive firepower aren't enough?

@jhungary

Waiting for Grand Ukrainian Empire to expand their borders to China.

The heaviest fighting is happening now in the South Eastern direction, where Russians have direct supply lines. Russians spread their forces through small towns, but they still have a local numerical advantage, and firepower due to supplies from Russia.

This is where Russia also has the most heavy presence of trained regular forces.

There are some indications now of Russians pulling forces from other directions to southeast, because they probably want this to be what they will walk away after this war.

To move forward, Ukraine will definitely need much more heavier firepower to break open more solidly defended, and entrenched Russian formations in South East.

Steiner's counteroffensive will be the key.

This is the beginning of the end of the Western hegemony.

The west never had hegemony. Canada, Australia, New Zealand, America do not have a foothold in The Old World. You cannot dominate the world without a foothold in The Old World.

For every Zellensky there are probably 1000 ethnic Russians in Ukraine who would rather be part of Russia as of now--until they realize that Russia is the Sick Man of Europe. As I keep saying here--time will have this all settled. There was no need for a war. American Neocons have pushed another war in the world. And European suckers are, if this goes out of hand, will suffer great misery again...
