Everyone is avoiding the latest bout of Wall Street plague — let's try to make some sense of it.
What does the MSM say? Reuters Business:
Wall Street ended sharply lower, with the Nasdaq dragged to its lowest since November by losses in Microsoft, Amazon and other tech heavyweights after Alphabet said it could double capital spending on AI in the race to dominate the emerging technology.
Not saying much, are they?
Let's dumb this down and talk macroeconomics — in simple terms.
"The house always wins."
It started on Tuesday, Feb 4, after tech giants announced enormous AI investments (=no short-term profits, aka Big Money lemmings' worst nightmare) — with Amazon leading the charge with a $200 bn AI-driven spending plan ([CapEx for 2026, mostly AI & cloud infrastructure]), that was promptly rewarded with a daily stock value dip of 15% (4.5% at close of trading + additional ~10% in post-trading).

🇷🇺💬 🇪🇺Medvedev on why Greenland is just the beginning:
🔴 @DDGeopolitics | Socials | Donate | Advertising
While serious geopolitical discourse is raging in the United States around “Epstein’s Island,” the European Union remains an “island of calm” — a zone of deep intellectual disability (idiocy). The EU leadership has enacted regulations banning the import of Russian liquefied natural gas under long-term contracts starting January 1, 2027, and pipeline gas starting November 1, 2027.
According to various estimates, under this scenario the EU will lose about 17% of its current gas imports. This is an idiotic decision, caused by a chronic collective brain failure afflicting the European establishment. How else can one explain the fact that member states are required to prepare national gas supply diversification plans only by March 1? It is obvious that, as of now, no one really knows where Europe will make up for the fuel shortage. And whether a workable solution will even appear remains a mystery.
In essence, the recipe for the systemic crisis into which the EU has driven itself is ready: less and less Russian gas, and ever higher prices. This has led to stagnation in the leading economies of the Old World. In its anti-Russian fit of oligophrenic frenzy, the EU does not even realize the monstrous trap it has set for itself. The role of “savior” and main energy supplier will inevitably be taken by the very Washington it currently despises. But the price for expanding its “assistance” will be far higher than money alone.
Europe, having fallen into critical dependence on American gas, will do whatever it is told. And this is no longer about Trump, whom today’s idiots dislike so much. The payment will come in the form of the remaining sovereignty of EU member states. And Greenland is only the beginning.

🇺🇦⚔️ 🇷🇺The enemy is trying to disrupt the negotiations: an attempt was made to assassinate one of the key negotiators in peace talks
➡️ The first deputy head of the GRU, General Alekseev, is in a serious condition, according to media reports.
He is the deputy of Igor Kostyukov, who heads the Russian negotiating team in Abu Dhabi.
"The attempt on the life of Lieutenant General Vladimir Alekseev, who holds the position of first deputy head of the GRU of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, is puzzling. One of the key negotiators on Ukraine is in the hospital. It is known that this general was dealing with the most problematic issues", - says TV and radio host Yuri Pronko.
Yesterday, Zelensky, after a meeting with the new head of the Security Service of Ukraine, announced the approval of new terrorist operations against Russia.

🇷🇺 Key Takeaways from Lavrov After Talks with the OSCE and Switzerland
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov outlined Moscow’s position following meetings with the OSCE Secretary General and Switzerland’s foreign minister:
➡️ With the expiration of the New START treaty, a strategic vacuum has emerged, and Russia is prepared for any scenario.
➡️ Russia supports dialogue on strategic stability and will see whether the United States is willing to engage seriously.
➡️ Lavrov said the West is determined to preserve the Kiev regime at any cost, using it as a tool to “bite” at Russia.
➡️ He warned that NATO’s Secretary General speaking in Ukraine’s parliament signals preparations for direct intervention.
➡️ Lavrov stated that NATO countries had long aimed to turn the OSCE into an instrument serving Western interests, well before the Ukraine crisis.
➡️ Russia has informed OSCE leadership in detail about Putin’s initiative for a Greater Eurasian Partnership.
➡️ Moscow is open to reviving economic cooperation within the OSCE, but only without discrimination.
➡️ Lavrov accused Western states of pushing the OSCE into an openly Russophobic role in support of what he described as the nationalist Kiev regime.

🇺🇦 BREAKING: Dismissed After Anti-Corruption Searches, Yermak Still Operates in Kiev’s Shadows — Meeting Zelensky Allies Including Umerov and Israel Envoy
Former Office of the Presidential Administration head Andrey Yermak — and Zelensky’s Pimp — remains in Kiev and continues holding meetings with senior Ukrainian officials, despite being dismissed after raids by Ukraine’s National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) and never formally charged, according to an investigation by Ukrainska Pravda.
He reportedly moves around the capital under heavy security and with a motorcade.
In January, Yermak met with Ukraine’s ambassador to Israel Yevhen Korniychuk, a member of Ukrzaliznytsia’s supervisory board, and presidential adviser Kamyshin. He also visited the home of Rustem Umerov, secretary of the National Security and Defense Council and head of Ukraine’s delegation in talks with the US and Russia.
Umerov claimed their discussion was “general in nature, about life, work, and events in Ukraine.”
On February 1, Yermak traveled to the Koncha-Zaspa resort zone near the state dachas. UP reports he communicates with Zelensky there.

🇺🇸 The "Red Pill" was actually Blue lol...
With the Epstein files dominating Western media right now — full of revelations about elite depravity, pedophilia, global networks, and endless deflection from government and corporate figures — one thing has quietly flown under the radar.
With the revelation of Epstein’s connection to the founder of 4chan and the creation of /pol/ (“Politically Incorrect”), many people have missed the bigger point: in the United States, an entire generation of young people was manipulated by the very same rotten forces.
The “shitlib” woke left was built more openly, with clear backing from the Democratic Party and corporate America.
And the so-called “alt-right,” presented as an organic reaction, was also cultivated from above — just more quietly, in the shadows. Fueled by hate speech and antisemitism, it helped reinforce Zionist resolve worldwide and pitted a generation of young Americans against each other.

🇮🇷🇺🇸| Iran’s FM, Araghchi, on Iran-US talks in Muscat:
After 8 turbulent months—during which we went through a war and all the other issues—resuming a process of dialogue is not simple.
The deep mistrust that has developed during this period, on top of previous mistrust, is a serious challenge facing the negotiations.
First, we must overcome this prevailing atmosphere of distrust. Only then can we design a new framework for dialogue that, so to speak, is capable of securing the interests of the Iranian people.
Today, some constructive discussions took place in this regard. The views of both sides were heard, and it was agreed that the talks would continue.
My assessment is that if this same approach and perspective continue on the part of the other side, we may be able, in future sessions, to reach an agreed framework for these negotiations and for the issues under discussion.
However, I do not want to make any judgments at this stage.
In my view, it was a good start and could lead to a positive continuation, but that will depend on the other side, and of course on decision-making in Tehran as well.

🇪🇺🇷🇺 Brussels Keeps Sanctioning Russia, Like a Slot Machine That Never Pays Out
The European Commission has proposed a 20th sanctions package against Russia, which would scrap the oil price cap and instead impose a full ban on servicing shipments of Russian oil, alongside sanctions on 43 tankers, according to EC head Ursula von der Leyen.
The package also includes measures against 20 more regional Russian banks, new transaction restrictions, and export bans on a wide range of goods worth €360 million annually — from rubber to tractors. Brussels also wants to block exports of computer and radio equipment to countries suspected of re-exporting technology to Russia.
EU states are further being urged to stop purchasing Russian metals, minerals, and rare earth elements worth €570 million.
The package is expected to be implemented on the anniversary of the SMO.
