I have a question that I have in my mind for a while now.
A lot of people are saying that the sanctions will destroy the EU and people are also saying that the US wants to eat EU's lunch money
If the US does that to the EU like article is saying, would it not also weaken the US in the long term?
I mean the US can eat the EU lunch money for a while but it will weaken the EU, which in turn will weaken the collective west.
Has this been thought out by the US?
I am not an economist, but of course, it will hurt US. It will hurt the world's economy. That's why some say that sanctions will temporary. Russia is not Iran and it is sole supplier of many natural resources to both US and EU. EU will be affected much more as Russia was a big trade partner, while USA can diversify in most cases. I am not sure about the collapse. It doesn't look like Russia, US or EU will collapse from this. Plebs will be the ones paying higher bills...

It appears that they are using the An-2's to trigger air defense radars - not confirmed though.

The real damage is not about anyone "collapsing", but about unilateral US and EU actions (mainly US) to use the so-called "international" finance system to ruthlessly pursue Western geopolitical aims in complete and utter contravention of the norms that, until now, had always been claimed to govern the system in a fair, transparent and equitable manner. The West has finally lowered the mask and reveal its ugly face - that of a ruthless hegemon that breaks the "rules" whenever it feels like it, without any accountability or criticism, yet insists on demanding that all others conduct themselevs according to the rules, and accepting of Western (US) authority to make demands for compliance.
Ths will greatly hasten the de-dollarisation push as many nations in the global South will now realise that this Western dominated system is hopelessly corrupt and most likely irredeemable. If the theiving West can steal the gold reserves of Afghanistan and Venezuela for blatently geopolitical purposes, and sanction the Central Bank of Russia to freeze assets, then what nations outside the US hegemony would trust that such an institution would never steal their funds? China? India? Indonesia? Brazil? ME nations or African states????
The global South will accelerate the push to develop alternative financial networks and banking systems outside the Western sphere of control and this will be a loss of earth-shattering importance to an imperial hegemony that is fundamentally based on controlling the global reserve currency (and the extraordinary privilige that it confers of being able to print fiat currency to meet all foreign obligations while exporting inflation to the global economy).
Forget the geopoltical after-shocks from Russia invading Ukropistan. This financial eathquake at Richter 11.5 is going to shake the world to its fricking foundations, and the US is going to discover (to its endless horror) that it resembles a house of cards more than an impregnable financial fortress.

It was Azeri tactics. They have used dozens of An-2 for this role while conflicts with Armenia.
Sad to see, those planes are for 98% made in Poalnd

They will still sell to US. Chavez did even though he was anti American. It's fine, they can do it and benefit Venezuela. Doesn't mean they become friends.

About the "losses of the Russian side", published by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
It just doesn't make sense to discuss this nonsense, there is a 30-40-fold increase in individual positions. It is very simple to prove it. Do you agree that it is more than profitable for the enemy to post all the destroyed equipment on the Internet to demoralize the enemy? Can you distinguish a tank from "other armored vehicles"?
The APU claims about 317 tanks (namely tanks) - with all the stretch, including "abandoned on the march" (this happens in the offensive, we have already written that the Americans are going deaf), you can count 12 units, no more. Videos with armored vehicles (BMP, BRT, BMD, BRDM and "tigers") no more than 50 units shot from different angles (as many as 1070 are claimed), we counted six planes that look authentic - it is written about 49, three ships are claimed - there is not a single video or photo (except for self-sunk bulk carriers), etc.
However, we wrote about the value of their reports so often that everything is clear to everyone. https://t.me/mig41/14486

Russia was selling them oil and that didn't make them friends with the west.
Venezuela can sell it but as soon as the population get used to having more money, they will sanction them to try to remove the goverbment and put their puppet. At that time they will buy rusian oil gain.
US are sociopaths. They will never stop medling in other's business.

Food and water air drops in small parcels ( so that the Rats can not deprive population of it ) should be done in all town and cities , irrespective of their status as captured or encircled or semi- circled . Until these towns evacuated or capitulate or liberated . Partisan anti - fascist groups should form , where circumstances allow , such as when under regular military supervision .

Obviously, this ad zone 24/7 is now active from both systems. But took a long time established.
Now Russian drones (like the Ukrainian S-300P yesterday destroved ) should become akiver and operate well in Middle and Western Ukraine active and destroy.
no reported losses you mean.. by the Russian military in their best hardware.
But they do happen. and not reported . Evidence of this is the armenia conflcit ,the russian military lost to turkish and israeli drones a lot . they lost buks ,tors , pantsirs , s-300s with anthenas, even iskanders missiles. and Russian military never denied this. they keep silent.

So it seems Victoria Nuland confirmed their existence a few hours later after the spin doctors had already started denial.
Didn't bother to read the Bloomberg shit, but the Washington Examiner makes two bogus claims (a) it was a "Russian projectile" that started the fire at the nuke power station (cuz the Ukropi said it was...), and (b) Russia is forcing the power plant staff to work against their will....
Fck-witted presstitutes and their stupid lies and BS....
