The last picture in that NYT article is fantastic. the elements' aren't even aligned between the two parts.
We might be stupid but not that stupid! oh, wait..
War crimes confirmed by CBS news. I know that both sides of the war try to score political points through false reporting, so I always take a wait-and-see approach until independent third-parties confirm the facts. But Russian war crimes in Bucha are now confirmed by an independent news source.
Now, let's see.. A town controlled by russian forces, with people along the street wearing russian-safe signs, get killed by a︀ mortar shell.
Who fired that? the russians?
Is this story going to be hidden soon︁ like the mariupol teathre story?
LOL typical Ukraine propaganda.
Russia fucked them heavily with their siege on big cities they made sure ukrainian soldiers couldn't move and support when taking mariupol.
Now where mariupol is taken russians are moving from the west to east to take the rest including the 60k ukrainian battalion which is cut from everything/resources
„China's state refiners are honouring existing Russian oil contracts but avoiding new ones despite steep discounts, heeding Beijing's call for caution as western sanctions mount against Russia over its invasion of Ukraine“
My fear is that Russia's decision of attaching ruble to gold is the last drop to make the whole hollow economy of the west collapse.
If now you can exchange rubles for gold, even at a good price (well, not anymore as of now 1€ = 84rub and dropping), what are the chance that gold price in eur or dollar will now skyrocket?
In the case of economic war, gold could max out at a legal official price of <$2,500 in the USA. With no physical availability. And a black market price of >$10,000
