Reality Check for all...

America is already on the phone to Russia about how they’re gonna be conducting business without the American public ever finding out, and Putin will only be too happy to oblige.

It’s the way it’s always been between these two, because America’s priority has always been the bullshit it loves to sell its public (Empire of Lies) while Putin has always been the trusty partner that doesn’t care enough to spill the beans on them, although if this ever changes the shit is gonna hit the fan!

Well, I suppose it’s an improvement on homophobic slurs. Usually involving cucumbers.

Next, you’ll be stomping off the forum in a sulk. Bemoaning the lack of “mature debate”. Although, I can’t recall you ever debating anything. You simply state your inviolable opinions and attempt to bully-boy anyone who feels differently. Which is why you hear little from anyone who does and go on just incessantly broadcasting your bile.

You’re clearly really enjoying this war GR. And, although he’s been his characteristic forthright, to the point self about it, there’s been much of the truth in what Milti’s had to say about you.

This "genius" has just fallen into the west's trap and is going to be stuck in the Ukraine for the next 10yrs. This will keep him contained and away from his next target Moldova. In the meantime the west will begin the Russian drain. The Russians have never felt or seen this before. Food shortages, appliances, aircraft maintenance, factory closings...this will all be felt heavily on the population. Russia will be drained of human and economic capital, good move Putin.


DT could you please inform the audience in what currency will the Germans Italians et all pay Gazprom for their supplies of gas? Note that Gazprom Bank has not been sanctioned, gas supply from Russia has not been cut off. Maybe you could also enlighten us HOW they will pay, as from what we all know SWIFT has been banned to them. Cash?

NB. This is kind of a rhetoric question, but your reply will help spin up some dead brains.


There was an interesting article in yesterday's DT. It mainly concerned how for some time Russia has been quietly buying and illicitly shipping out gold from Sudan mainly but also a couple of other African countries. Such that they now have a significant stockpile of the stuff. They've been assisted in this by the activities of their Wagner group, enabling a sympathetic Sudanese warlord to gain and hold on to power in the country. As well as the gold there have been moves into cryptocurrency and the Chinese Yuan. This has been going on quietly for quite some time, in order to build up a hedge against any sanctions.

All of that is principally to fund any war effort and the State payroll. Nothing causes more trouble of course than your soldiers or civil servants not being paid.

That IMHO doesn't detract from the points that DT makes. You only have to skim through any business tome to understand the weight of what's being inflicted upon ordinary Russians. For them it's 1998 all over again.

Interesting speculation in today's press. That Putin may impose martial law in Russia, thus giving him the opportunity to round up all the notable trouble makers.


LR that does not answer my question. The question was in what currency, and by which method will Gazprom get paid for it's gas supplies to Europe. And one more question. What % of Russia's GDP is that?

On the rest of your comments:
Sure we all know the Russians stockpiled gold and FX reserves 50% of which have now been seized in Western countries.
However this is totally irrelevant in how Russia will handle the state payroll. Russia is self sufficient in almost everything, and the state payroll is not in foreign currency but in Rubles.The Ruble did not lose absolutely anything from it's internal value, it buys and will continue to buy the exact same amount of bread, rent the same kind of apartment, pay the exact same KWH of electricity, literally everything that's produced internally.

But I need a reply to my question to DT to elaborate further.
I don't expect you to accept the term "Empire of lies" for the west, but that's a very accurate term for me. I will have to think what kind "Empire of..." Russia is some other time though.

First, do try to make sense if you’re to be taken seriously.

As for Milti’s opinion of me or anyone else for that matter, all one can do is ---> :lol:

Milti, is just an old brainless fool who should’ve been moved to a care home a long time ago.

Londoner,

Have you ever heard of the phrase… "America has a very short memory span!" ?

Well it stems from the fact that the US’ bark is worse than its bite, or if you prefer… America doesn’t always implement what it claims.

Whether you investigate America’s dealings with respect to Iran, Korea, Venezuela or Afghanistan… you’ll find that they always have TWO sets of stories; the one that they’re selling their public (domestic consumption policy) and the one that is actually taking place! (actual foreign policy)

Well he claims to be a purveyor of apartments and other real estate investment, but I’m starting to realize you may be right!

After a certain age an old CYpriot begins to mix reality with dreams and never really sure when one ends and the begins.

But this is true democracy American style.

Gone are the days when they already had people in place and all that was needed was the order to do it.

Although the average Cypriot shop owner in UK tends to pay no tax and may well have a few quid hiding in a bank.

But what a waste to buy a flat for that kind of money. I do not understand why they don't buy an old Cypriot home and do it up. You will not find construction like it today. Half a meter thick walls ffs. They are built like a castle. They have real character and you return back to village life where it is slower and you actually begin to enjoy life rather than the rat race you were used to in the west.

I for one cannot wait to get back to village life. Not long left now.
