Russia is celebrating its victory days, victory over the Nazi's in WW2. Leaders from nations from around the world are in Moscow. From China and India to South America to the European countries, and all over the world, they have come to Moscow to celebrate with Russia.

Russia has stepped up its security so that Zelensky drones won't have any effect on Moscow.

Note that Trump didn't go to Moscow. Neither did Zelensky. Seems like Trump is extending the mission of the US, to continue to use Ukraine in its proxy war against Russia... just to steal Russian lands that have far more minerals than the US could ever get in some backwards deal with Ukraine.

Note that in some other post I suggested looking at the Military Summary Chanel on Youtube. I would like to qualify that a little. Some of the videos that Dima uses are videos of models. You can see by the kinds of explosions that are done in some of those videos, that they are not real, but are simply models with model explosions. The question is, what is really going on in the battles along the edge of the Black Sea Corridor and Ukraine?

We'll see.

Cool

As usual, quite a bit of bias, but whatever. There are many channels that will report quite accurately, others are Ruzzian bias, Ukranian, etc...

But there is little doubt about what is happening in the frontlines (in general lines) and, what is equally important, what is happening behind the frontlines. Ukraine is perfectly able to strike anything within 1500 km. The Black Sea should be renamed the Ukranian sea, just like the Gulf of Mexico.

When you preview the heads of state of countries from around the world who are in Moscow celebrating the victory days there, you can easily see that Russia has a lot of friends around the world. These people have understood how the banking system of America and Europe has been screwing them with their system of trade.

The thing that will happen is that the banking system will collapse. You can see it happening already. Things like US sanctions are essentially meaningless. If the US truly enters Ukraine, it will simply mean a big war with the whole world involved.

Personally, I don't like the idea of Communism any more than you do. But the American banking system fiat money is based on nothing. And the world is coming to understand this more and more. This banking system will ultimately fail, and the failure time may be closer than we think.

Cool

BA, regarding ideologies, you are completely at a loss. You are totally confused about all the mechanisms by which you are still able to have an opion about things. As a clue: Go to North Korea and try to say anything that is not the official line.

You are free because all those things that you rant about everyday and cheer the people who would remove all and any freedoom if they could.

What you see in Ruzzia is the DICTATORS of the world all together trying to figure out how are they going to be there for as long as possible, except Lula, who is there probably because he thinks that somehow this might solve Brazils economy after his fiascos.

I would recognise though that Ruzzia in Ukraine has been a magnet for these people - along with a warning of how long and how bad may a war be when it was supposed to be a "military parade". They are surely going to take good note of this.

However, the larger part of the GDP of the world is actually meeting in a different location:

The leaders of France, the United Kingdom, Germany and Poland threatened to ratchet up pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin if he does not accept an unconditional 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine that they offered on Saturday in a strong show of unity with Kyiv.

You see, everyone can throw a party for friends. A different question is if your friends are worth a party.

What good is throwing a party when you gotta borrow money from the banking system to do it?

Cool
