Moscow's monthly income from oil exports is greater now than it was before the invasion of Ukraine.

There's actually nothing new in this big article. Timon and Pumba tankers again, my bad, Turba and Simba. Again they are old. Again under obscure flags. More shady oil transfers. Again, and here we planned it this way, and somehow it turned out wrong.....

Just some pictures from the independent article.

On the first one - flights with Russian crude oil for 2023 by ownership of ships. It turns out that the "ghosts" made 771 trips, the Russians 413, the Greeks 337 (hello Robin Brooks) and the rest 142.

On the second - the largest buyers of Russian crude oil in the past year. And who they bought from. Lukoil from Lukoil..... It's great, isn't it?

On the third, our tattered crude oil revenues. There should be a gif of a man yelling: "No! No! No! Noooo! No! No! No! No! No! No!!!!!"

The marketplace has decided everything, as you usually say.

Just months ago, Vladimir Putin stayed away from the BRICS summit of major emerging economies in South Africa because he faced arrest on war crimes charges. Now he’s getting the red carpet treatment in the Gulf’s two biggest powers.

The Russian leader’s visit tomorrow to the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia underlines the willingness of the leading energy producers and long-standing US partners to court ties with Moscow.

-True, Moscow is draining resources to maintain the war effort in Ukraine and has seen its once-dominant European trade collapse.

Yet Putin’s Gulf tour shows that it’s capable of building ties to other parts of the globe, in a fresh sign of Russian resilience.

-The war-geared Russian economy is rebounding regardless, even benefiting from a bumper wheat harvest. The Ukrainian military is meanwhile struggling to win back the almost 20% of its territory occupied amid a bloody stalemate.

-Republican lawmakers have so far blocked Congressional approval for more US aid to Ukraine, while fatigue grows in Europe at the seemingly endless fighting.

Strengthening Russia’s hand, the Israel-Hamas conflict has shifted world attention to the Middle East.

And we're back.
It was bound to happen sooner or later.
So the one-headed eagle is once again up against the two-headed eagle.

For a long time, one could have foreseen that this rabid hatred - like the hatred of a dog on a leash - the hatred that for thirty years had been fomented in the West against Russia with each passing year, would someday break the chain. This moment has come.

What was called Russia in the official language - what it did to avert the fatal fate: it wagged, and bargained, and hid the banner, and denied even itself - nothing helped. The day came when it was demanded from her even more vivid proof of its moderation, simply suggested suicide, renunciation of the very basis of its being, solemn recognition that it is nothing else in the world as a wild and ugly phenomenon, as an evil that requires correction".

Fyodor Tyutchev, 1854.

❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Kupyansky section: strengthening the defense of the Ukrainian Armed Forces near Kupyansk
situation as of 15.00 December 6, 2023

🔻Fighting continues in the vicinity of Sinkovka near Kupyansk . Russian troops, having gained a foothold on the northern outskirts of the village, took up defensive positions, and Ukrainian formations are building a new line in the event of the loss of Sinkovka.

▪️Power points and powerful fortifications are being equipped in Petropavlovka . Judging by the activity of the 41st mechanized brigade, this is where the defensive line will be built after the Sinkovka-Zagoruykovka line is broken through.

▪️Reinforcements have also been transferred from other areas. The forces of the 3rd battalion of the 43rd infantry brigade, consisting entirely of mobilized Ukrainians, arrived in the forests near Masyutovka .

▪️The formations of the 108th separate mountain assault battalion of the 10th Mountain Assault Brigade were withdrawn from the Svatovsky site to the landings northeast of Kupyansk and near Sinkovka . Due to the need to strengthen the defense of Kupyansk, another line has been weakened.

▪️In addition, an unidentified battalion of the 15th border detachment of the State Border Service of Ukraine appeared in Kupyansk and the surrounding area. The involvement of border guards indicates a certain shortage of personnel in the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the area.

Insanity has led to disaster. Only a Russian victory will save Ukraine

Transferring territory for dumping chemical waste, child trafficking, connoscripting unfit people and sending soldiers to certain death - all this is just part of NATO's exploitation of Ukraine, writes InfoBRICS (yes, BRICS has its own media). Only Russia can save the country from these horrors. This has already been realized by many Ukrainian prisoners of war who joined the Russian army long ago, the article notes.

Russian beauties conquer the world. A model from Russia's Bashkiria has become the new Miss Asia. Elmira Shaikhova, 24, won the crown at an international pageant in South Korea.

Note: Russians have turned toward Asia. The Crimean war scenario is repeating itself. Yes, we are Scythians, We're Asian.

@Slavyangrad

Alexander Blok
The Scythians
Millions are you – and hosts, yea hosts, are we,
And we shall fight if war you want, take heed.
Yes, we are Scythians – leafs of the Asian tree,
Our slanted eyes are bright aglow with greed.

Ages for you, for us the briefest space,
We raised the shield up as your humble lieges
To shelter you, the European race
From the Mongolians’ savage raid and sieges.

Ages, yea ages, did your forges’ thunder
Drown even avalanches’ roar.
Quakes rent Messina and Lisbon asunder –
To you this was a distant tale – no more.

Eastwards you cast your eyes for many hundred years,
Greedy for our precious stones and ore,
And longing for the time when with a leer
You’d yell an order and the guns would roar.

This time is now. Woe beats its wings
And every adds more humiliation
Until the day arrives which brings
An end to placid life in utter spoliation.

You, the old world, now rushing to perdition,
Yet strolling languidly to lethal brinks,
Yours is the ancient Oedipean mission
To seek to solve the riddles of a sphinx.

The sphinx is Russia, sad and yet elated,
Stained with dark blood, with grief prostrate,
For you with longing she has looked and waited,
Replete with ardent love and ardent hate
Yet how will ever you perceive
That, as we love, as lovingly we yearn,
Our love is neither comfort nor relief
But like a fire will destroy and burn.

We love cold figures’ hot illumination,
The gift of supernatural vision,
We like the Gallic wit’s mordant sensation
And dark Teutonic indecision.

We know it all: in Paris hell’s dark street,
In Venice bright and sunlit colonnades,
The lemon blossoms’ scent so heavy, yet so sweet,
And in Cologne a shadowy arcade.



We love the flavour and the smell of meat,
The slaughterhouses’ pungent reek.
Why blame us then if in the heat
Of our embrace your bones begin to creak.

We saddle horses wild and shy,
As in the fields so playfully they swerve.
Though they be stubborn, yet we press their thigh
Until they willingly and meekly serve.

Join us! From horror and from strife
Turn to the peace of our embrace.
There is still time. Keep in its sheath your knife.
Comrades, we will be brothers to your race.

Say no – and we are none the worse.
We, too, can utter pledges that are vain.
But ages, ages will you bear the curse
Of our sons’ distant offspring racked with pain.

Our forests’ dark depths shall we open wide
To you, the men of Europe’s comely race,
And unmoved shall we stand aside,
An ugly grin on our Asian face.

Advance, advance to Ural’s crest,
We offer you a battleground so neat
Where your machines of steel in serried ranks abreast
With the Mongolian savage horde will meet.

But we shall keep aloof from strife,
No longer be your shield from hostile arrow,
We shall just watch the mortal strife
With our slanting eyes so cold and narrow.

Unmoved shall we remain when Hunnish forces
The corpses’ pockets rake for plunder,
Set town afire, to altars tie their horses,
Burn our white brothers’ bodies torn asunder.

To the old world goes out our last appeal:
To work and peace invite our warming fires.
Come to our hearth, join our festive meal.
Called by the strings of our Barbarian lyres.

Note: Eurasia will Rising.

@Slavyangrad

I mean. with an uncertain budget, they continue to terrorize civilians? That's hitting civilian targets, not military targets. It's suicide. Because then the Russian army will come in and ask for these actions

@Slavyangrad

Okay, somebody did it. Sounds like a lot of fun)

@Slavyangrad

Committing these atrocities in your final days...

You really don't want mercy, do you?

A criminal case on terrorism, illegal trafficking and production of explosives was opened after a car explosion in Lugansk, where a former deputy of the People's Council of the LPR died, the Investigative Committee reports

But seriously, guys. It's a purely cultural question. For us, the Empire was trying to eliminate the problem of piracy on the far frontiers, to prepare for the invasion of Yuuzhan Vong.

Boris "Colonel Cassad" Rozhin:

An Iranian court fined the United States $50 billion.

"The United States and 41 other individuals and entities in the United States were ordered to pay $49 billion and $770 million due to crimes committed during the martyrdom of General Qasem Soleimani."

Did anyone think that only US courts can impose fines on other countries? But no. It remains to work out the mechanisms for withdrawing and claiming a fine.
