🇷🇺 THE DURAN UPDATE ON THE RUSSIAN ECONOMY

"a couple of years ago, five or six years ago the Russian economy, the priority for the Russian government was sorting out the banking Financial system. Creating a strong financial system within Russia. Remember in the 1990s Russia had no real financial institutions, [they had] phoney institutions, they were fake institutions. They didn't function like proper Banks do. So the government spent a huge amount of time sorting out Banks, sorting out the financial system. They spent a huge amount of time rebuilding living standards, creating a functioning consumer Market [and] sorting out services. What they're now doing, the focus that they have at the moment is on industrialization and on industrial expansion, and this is not the primary focus and we see investment as I said in Industry surging, and this I think is going to be the future now. We're going to see industrial expansion probably for the next couple of years and alongside that, what goes with that, which will be Capital controls and this period when the ruble was freely convertible is, I think, coming to an end and I think people need to understand that. So that makes the way in which the Russian economy is going to be run from now, at this point on, it's going to make it more like China and indeed India then it has been previously."

Xi Jinping’s Offer: You Can Do It The Hard Way or the Easy Way; It's Your Choice!

Readings for the 33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time: Proverbs 31: 10-13, 19-20, 30-31; Psalms 128: 1-5; 1st Thessalonians 5: 1-6; Matthew 25: 14-3 What do you do about an economic system you no longer believe in? What if it’s just interested in the monetary bottom line – making money without doing any real work. What if it shows no concern for women and their children? Do you simply go along with…

Only Trust Yourself | All Governments Lie and The Media Too | Alexander Mercouris from The Duran

It's my pleasure to talk to Alexander Mercouris ( @AlexMercouris  ) from the Duran Youtube Channel:  @TheDuran . In this first segment we talk about his work at his channels, how he does his research, and what kind of news he trusts. Spoiler alert: reasonable people vet every piece of information, trust nothing, and think for themselves.

"Since February 2022 Western propaganda has drummed into people’s minds that the invasion was “unprovoked”. Very few outside the West, however, share this perspective. George Beebe doesn’t support the invasion, estimates that Russia has a lot to answer for, but rejects this kind of simplistic rhetoric as unhelpful and potentially disastrous. He was interviewed this past week by Professor Glenn Diesen and Alexander Mercouris on The Duran and, in my estimation, gave a masterclass in responsible statecraft."

La guerra de Ucrania parece estar entrando en su fase final a medida que los frentes ucranianos siguen colapsándose... La falta de soldados y de armamento permite a Rusia avanzar por las líneas del frente con mayor facilidad, lo que provoca la interrupción de las líneas de suministro y el cerco de grandes grupos de soldados ucranianos. ¿Cuándo comenzarán las negociaciones? habríamos negociado hace mucho tiempo si nuestros soldados estuvieran muriendo en cifras espantosas. Sin embargo, como la OTAN está luchando con los ucranianos, no parece haber prisa por poner fin a la guerra, ya que se puede seguir desangrando a los rusos y a Estados Unidos le gustaría prolongar la guerra hasta el final de las elecciones presidenciales estadounidenses... Israel también se ha metido en un buen lío al no llegar a acuerdos mutuamente aceptables con sus vecinos... Israel ve ahora la oportunidad de atacar también a Irán, ya que Hamás y Hezbolá se han debilitado. Sin embargo, esto no tiene en cuenta que Israel también se ha sobrecargado militarmente y no es capaz de luchar solo contra Irán. Además, una guerra prolongada está devastando la economía de Israel y sus lazos políticos con el resto del mundo. No hay camino hacia una victoria militar ni apetito político por soluciones políticas, por lo que el objetivo parece ser arrastrar a Estados Unidos a una guerra regional más amplia... Las personas que dicen «apoyar» a Ucrania e Israel han adoptado durante años posturas maximalistas, rechazando una paz viable y apoyando la escalada. La consecuencia ha sido la actual situación de «todo o nada», que probablemente devastará a ambos Estados (Glenn Diesen, Un. Sureste, Noruega)

The Duran presented on October 17 an excellent discussion between John Helmer and Gilbert Doctorow moderated by Alexander Mercouris about how Russian military and civilian decisions are made.  The knowledge I gained enables me to update my take on the situation, which I will now do. The Ukrainian invasion of Kursk, which has been defeated, was a game changer and possibly will result in the termination of Ukraine as an independent country.  The reason is that the invasion convinced the Russian public, the General Staff of the Russian military, and buttressed the case of  Russian politicians that an independent Ukraine is inconsistent … Continue reading →

🇦🇲🇦🇿🇷🇺🇺🇦🇺🇲 A fantastic and important conversation covering the geopolitical events of Nagorno-Karabakh, as well as the positions of Ukraine, the US, and Russia in relation to the geopolitical situation globally:

"You have the presence of the NGOs, the Western NGOs, both they're very visible in Georgia, they're very visible in Armenia, they're of course constantly, relentlessly, promoting these ideas (Western "values" and ideologies) that come from the West, and of course they're always packaged very skillfully. You know, about 'democracy' and 'Human Rights' and all that; and you know, they can be very, made to sound very attractive, and that does influence some people."

"But there's also Financial Interests, and never forget this. There's money passing, lots of money circulates around. Some of it, you know, not illicit but the NGOs themselves spend money, they hire people, those people are then influenced by the ideas of the NGOs, the NGOs then fund the educational institutions, that produces a certain type of person, also with a particular set of ideas, and this gradually snowballs and it has an effect and creates a constituency that, you know, accepts these things."

US/NATO Maniacs Killed The Post-Cold War Peace On Purpose | Alexander Mercouris from The Duran

This is the second segment of the interview with Alexander Mercouris ( @AlexMercouris  ) from  @TheDuran . We talk about how and why NATO elites decided to kill the Post-Cold War peace in Europe that had set in after 1989. The poisonous idea that the US had "won" the Cold War completely distorted all decision-making, leading to some of the worst and most provocative geostrategic blunders in history. Peace was killed by those who thought they could rain with impunity and Ukraine is now paying the price of the zero-sum thinking.

Expert britanic: Ucraina nu are altă alternativă decât să fie de acord cu Rusia
