Interesting backdrop to yesterday's handshake between the Russian & British Defence Ministers.

Generals de Lattre (France), Eisenhower (US), Montgomery (UK) & Zhukov (USSR) opposite the burned-out Berlin Reichstag, in 1945.

That wasn't put there by accident.

Western media: "Spheres of influence don't exist anymore".

U.S. Sends Nuclear Submarine To Harass Russia Near Japan
https://www.moonofalabama.org/2022/02/us-sends-nuclear-submarine-to-harass-russia-near-japan.html

Since October 30 2021 the U.S. is warning of a Russian military buildup and a potential invasion of the Ukraine. Over the last days the screaming over Russian exercises on Russian grounds has again increased. The U.S. Secretary of State...

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called for evidence of the February 16 invasion, if available.

This is how he answered a question about Western publications about Russia's alleged attack on Ukraine next week.

"We take all this information into account, we are grateful for this information, but we must clearly analyze any information, assess risks," Zelensky said.

He believes that there is “too much information about the Russian invasion” in the information space. And he wants to see evidence.

At the same time, answering the question whether this means that he does not agree with the assessments of Western countries regarding the threat of invasion, he answered evasively:

“I am not saying that we agree or disagree with some information about an upcoming event that did not happen. We analyze different information. And I can’t say that our Ukrainian intelligence works worse than the Western one.”

Does US Intelligence Really Know the War Date?

US needs Ukraine crisis to harm European economy, and legitimize its military presence

https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202202/1252149.shtml

Aside from the fact Anne Applebaum's nutty gas exports plan would lead to the deaths of tens of thousands of Europeans & collapse the EU economy, the West already tried "regime change" in Russia.

It failed.

All it did was damage the liberal cause in this country.

The 'Frozen Ground Theory' And Other Ukraine War Nonsense
https://www.moonofalabama.org/2022/02/the-frozen-ground-theory-and-other-ukraine-war-nonsense.html

Since October 30 2021 first U.S. and then other 'western' media have been filled with predictions of a Russian war against the Ukraine. Today David Ignatius, the CIA's spokesperson resident at the Washington Post, makes another dire claim: The world...

This is why "Wag the Dog," a 25-year-old American movie, has suddenly become required watching for anyone who's anyone in Moscow.

Wouldn't be surprised if it gets re-released in cinemas in Russia, at this point.

For the benefit of everyone over the age of 13, asked a Russian reporter who has covered the Kremlin. She says it's an audio system they use for simultaneous translation.

Nasdaq momentum weakest in 13 years

The Nasdaq 100 Index dropped more than 8.5% in January, along with other risky assets. Its monthly trend momentum has turned negative for the first time since early in the pandemic, or about 2 years ago.

The technical signal suggests for some to prepare for more volatility ahead. Pressure from uncertainty around the Fed's agenda, mixed earnings, and geopolitical tensions have pushed the negative-momentum reading to a level that hasn’t been seen for 13 years.

On a more positive note, big tech earnings are strong, valuations have come down, and there are signs tighter financial conditions could help ease inflation, which could reduce investor worries.
