So, I hear that all the TV&Radio Bobbleheads agree that "Russia is in isolation" and now too do their bobbleheaded audiences, due to them incapable of critical thought...,

But is that really true?

Here's a list of countries that have already refused to agree to sanctions against Russia.

Several others are hesitating.......

🔹 Moscow partners in the BRICS group (Brazil, India, China, South Africa). 41% of the world population between them all.

🔹 The countries of OSC (Belarus, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Armenia, Kyrgyzstan).

🔹 Azerbaijan and Moldova have abandoned anti-Russian restrictions. But the most surprising thing is Georgia's position.

🔹 Latin America (Mexico, Argentina, Venezuela, Guatemala, Colombia, Cuba, Nicaragua, Chile).

🔹 The Middle East (Syria, Egypt, Turkey, Iraq, Iran)

🔹 The Balkans (Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina).

🔹 Hungary, yet a member of the European Union.
China-Russia are destroying the hegemonic Dollar System

In 2015 90% of their bilateral transactions were conducted in dollars.

By Q1 2020 46% of their bilateral transactions were conducted in dollars.

De-dollarization results in a Defacto Alliance.

They've been doing this since 2014.

This is a case of WHEN not IF.
Putin didn’t just invade the Ukraine on 2/24/2022, he officially ended the #petrodollar system.

How?

Remember, Russians don’t do anything without a plan. They and China have been prepping for this moment for years and are now ready


Russia has stated NATO expansion into Ukraine was a red line.

They knew their invasion of Ukraine would be inevitable and would have strategized that the US/West’s response would be SWIFT $ system exclusions/sanctions, sanctions which started today.

For years Russia & China have looked for ways to re-monetize gold & exit abuses of SWIFT system as a geo-political tool against them, but how to do it, how to exit, without West declaring it an act of aggression or war against West?

Well, this Ukraine invasion just accomplished that end for them.

And the West is doing it themselves.

Now, freed to declare themselves SWIFT system outcasts by the western govt hands, Russia can now say “we will turn oil pipelines back on, but not for dollars.”

Russia then declares that Europe or anyone that wants Russian oil (as 3rd largest global producer) or Russian/Ukrainian wheat (1/4 of worlds production) must pay in gold, or use the ruble-yuan gold backed payment system.

Russia Today ( RT) reports from the Donbass region in South East Ukraine

Most in the west have no awareness of the bombing of Donetsk and Luhansk for the last 8 years.

Reports like the one above from RT are why all western Govts want to ban RT from all broadcast systems and internet video platforms.

If accurate then the Ukr Army in Donbass is in serious trouble and retreating fast.

Map of the situation in the Donbass, according to the most recent information received by @CIG_telegram - evening of 02.03.2022

🟥 Russian
🟦 Ukrainian
DPR
🟪 LPR

1. The Russians have moved in the direction of #Izyum and are expected to take the strategic town on the road to #Slavyansk.

2. The #Lugansk militia has enveloped the Ukrainians at #Severodonetsk, and crossed into the Donetsk province to establish positions near Slavyansk.

3. The Ukrainians intend to withdraw from all current positions in the #Donbass to avoid being surrounded. Trying hard to avoid a Cauldron

4. The largest engagement in the Donbass so far: a battle has raged between the Donetsk militia and the Ukrainians at #Volnovakha for multiple days.

5. #Mariupol is fully surrounded. According the Russian MoD, the Donetsk militia crossed the border deep into the Zaporozhya province to link up with Russian forces securing the Azov coastline.

🇺🇦 Ukraine 🇺🇦

Ukraine's special operations command just issued a warning to Russian soldiers that they will not be taken prisoner and will be "slaughtered like pigs" without the option of surrendering.

That is public admission of a war crime.

Photos released by the Ukraine Govt show bodies of dead DPR soldiers

Judging the condition of some of these corpses one would have to wonder if the Ukrainian Army has already begun committing #WarCrimes by executing prisoners in the Donbass?

Mariupol Southern Ukraine

Ukranian Gov't forces (Azov Battalion UkroNazis) are shooting at Ukranian civilians on the outskirts of Mariupol.

They want to prevent civilians from exiting the city so that they can later use the civilian population as hostages/human shields.

This exact tactic was also used by ISIS terrorists against the local civilian population in Syria.

--------

The husband and wife tried to leave Mariupol, at the exit near the checkpoint with the radicals they noticed the shot bodies, they wanted to help, but fire was also opened on them from the checkpoint.

They tried to escape, as a result, the woman was killed, the driver was wounded, now he is hiding with relatives in the Berdyansk region.
