#consequencesofputinsanctions I am always on the lookout for unusual stories that most of the media misses. Russia used to export a massive amount of timber. With sanctions, it is difficult for Russia to continue with these exports. This causes big disruptions in the timber market worldwide. Germany is being forced to bring coal plants that generate power and heat back online to replace natural gas no longer coming from Russia. Then we have the Russian naval blockade of Ukraine's Black Sea ports that leave 20 million metric tons of wheat in silos and put up 100 million people in Africa and the Middle east in danger of potential starvation.
Putin is engaging in some cold-blooded calculus here. "Make things very uncomfortable for people in the west and they will cave in and let me do what I want to do." Long ago, Western democracies caved into Hitler in hopes of appeasing him and stopping a second world war. We know what happened afterward. We are going to have high gasoline and diesel prices. We are going to suffer high prices for food, timber, and natural gas for a long time to come. We are going to see large numbers of people face starvation. We cannot let Putin win this battle!!!! Decades ago, Stalin and Chairman Mao engineered famines that killed millions of people. Putin is the same kind of monster

The return of Stalingrad: Russian region proposes renaming airport

It's fucking Reuters.

If it's from Reuters or Associated Press, it's from the CIA. How can you not know this at this point?

This is pure propaganda. Even if it's true, who gives a shit? Is this world fucking important news we all need to know? Always these stupid fucking trivialities to try to guide people's EMOTIONS. Never the brain!

The CEO of the world’s largest steel manufacturer has issued a grim warning as plants continue to shut down amid the mounting energy crisis.

Reiner Blaschek, the CEO of ArcelorMittal Germany, warns that the German wing of the company can no longer compete due to soaring energy costs.

The energy crisis in Germany is turning into a manufacturing crisis, Blaschek warns.


Germany fucked by the American Deep State.


Pretty simple solution would be just to move the plants to Russia. Germany has to stop fucking around and being under the yoke of their guilt over WWII, MUCH of which is undeserved, but is partially deserved.

If you cut enough usage prices will come down, but the price is still higher in Germany than a year ago.

Biden and his administration are engaging in some cold-blooded calculus here. "Try to make things very uncomfortable for Putin and Russia and hopefully they will cave in and let us do what we want to do.

U.S. government operations and domestic costs related to Ukraine, which covers the increased expenses to government agencies for operations like moving embassy personnel and prosecuting war criminals. It also includes $2 billion for support to energy companies, particularly the nuclear industry, to offset higher supplier costs. Some observers might exclude the energy subsidy as only tangentially related to the war in Ukraine. This tabulation includes the item since the administration categorized it as Ukraine related.

No nuclear in the US, subsidize Nuclear for Ukraine (and it seems, export of surplus to the EU which pretends it's done with nuclear)

By the way:

A1: Congress has passed three aid packages. The first in March ($13.6 billion) was tacked onto the massive $1.5 trillion omnibus appropriations for FY 2022. The package in May ($40 billion), which contained the major portion of the aid, was a standalone bill. The package in September ($13.7 billion) was attached to the continuing resolution. It was designed to provide aid through December, when Congress will consider full-year appropriation bills. As the chart below shows, the three packages total $68 billion.

On November 15, the administration submitted a new aid request of $37.7 billion which, if passed, would bring the total to $105.5 billion. This new aid package is designed to last through the end of the fiscal year (September 30, 2023). However, at the current rate of spending ($6.8 billion per month), this would last until about May. At that point, unless the war has ended or settled into a stalemate, the administration would need to ask for additional money.

This was last year, so in a little over a year, $105B for Ukraine.
