#1 UK trying to do as much damage to the EU as it can. Good lads.

This war is going to hurt the EU far more than it will Russia or Ukraine. Which is the whole idea. To keep them in the US orbit instead of being able to determine their own destiny. Nordstream 2 was a close call.

#2 China has an alternative to SWIFT that it is pushing hard. Kick Russia out of SWIFT and the Chinese system will be the requirement for energy purchases from Russia, all over the world. And with Western energy production deliberately strangled, that would be a major power shift.

Think about 2nd order consequences, folks.

/\ Fok these communist bastids, they are the enemy. They have always been the enemy. Close down the Walmarts and Home Depot's until they can re-stock with American made goods. I am sick of these threatening tyrants and their global mischief.

Say nothing, continue to say nothing. Simply stick it up their collective arses at every turn! Chinese, Russians, Iranians, Pakiwaki's.... anyone else.

#4 India Exploring Rupee Payment Mechanism For Trade With Russia
India is NOT going to buy into a Chinese money network. Look for cybercoin.

#6 I'd say we prefer the US orbit instead of a destiny controlled by Vlad.
