‼️🇷🇺🇪🇺Western sanctions did not collapse, but only strengthened Russia's economy, — Neue Zürcher Zeitung

▪️Despite unprecedented sanctions pressure, the Russian economy did not collapse and demonstrated its ability to adapt. Moscow managed to compensate for external pressure by reorienting trade to friendly countries, mobilizing internal resources, and pursuing a security-oriented budget policy.

▪️Assessments of the state of the Russian economy range from expectations of collapse to recognition of its resilience. The publication lists key factors: the growth of the defense-industrial complex, import substitution, the formation of new production chains, and deepening cooperation with China and countries of the Global South. This model is described in the article as "military Keynesianism".

▪️The publication also cites experts' conclusion that it is impossible to imagine a scenario in which an economic crisis would force Russia to change its policy. According to NZZ, the economy remains sufficiently resilient not to become a lever of pressure on Moscow in possible negotiations.

‼️🏴‍☠️🇺🇦RUSSIA PLANS TO "ISOLATE" Kiev FOR 3-5 DAYS: all embassies in the capital have received a "red" danger level

▪️All embassies have received a warning about a massive bombardment in the near future, in connection with which the last level of danger – "red" has been declared for them.

▪️The attack is designed to attempt to plunge Kyiv into a blackout for 3-5 days. Up to the evacuation of residents, write Ukrainian propagandists.

▪️Embassy staff should act according to the instructions (in the photo👆).

Sounds like propaganda

Finance Minister Bessent stated that Greenland is a strategically important asset for the US, which they will not surrender to anyone

'I don't know anything about the letter from the Norwegian president. And, honestly, the idea that the president could do something like this because of the Nobel Prize is complete nonsense. The president views Greenland as a strategic asset for the United States. We are not going to hand over the security of our hemisphere to anyone.'

Guys a real prick....

🇪🇺⚔️🇺🇸Europe is preparing a powerful counterstrike against Trump and the USA

The conflict with Trump over Greenland could push Europe to a massive sell-off of American securities, Bloomberg reports, citing an analysis by Deutsche Bank.

According to the head of the bank's currency research, George Saravelos, Europe is the largest creditor of the US - European countries own about $8 trillion worth of American bonds and stocks, almost twice as much as the rest of the world.

Against the backdrop of undermining the geoeconomic stability of the Western alliance, it becomes unclear why Europe should continue to play the role of America's main creditor. Recent events, according to him, could accelerate the redistribution of assets to the detriment of the dollar.

Saravelos says that if the conflict with the US continues to develop, Europe could theoretically start using not trade measures, but financial ones - reducing investments in American assets, changing the structure of reserves, and financing the US deficit less.

Even the expectation of such steps could cause strong fluctuations in the dollar's exchange rate, the US stock market, and interest rates, the German expert believes.

'It's time to send Grandpa Trump to a nursing home' — American politician Adam Kinzinger urges Republicans to make Vance president due to Trump's letter to the Prime Minister of Norway.

'If you're a Republican in the House of Representatives or the Senate — listen up, he'll soon be finished. Even if he lasts all three years, when he leaves, everyone will hate him, period. And you'll be judged for what you did to help and indulge him.

So, guys, it's time to send Grandpa to a nursing home. Even if power passes to JD Vance — I'm by no means a fan of JD Vance — but at least he's not an old psychopath. Although, maybe he's even more dangerous, I don't know. But this, guys, is just complete trash.'

Mind you Kinzinger is a POS himself

Kiev's metro may be shut down if the power supply situation worsens, said Vladimir Omelchenko, director of energy programs at the Razumkov Center.

Davos is hosting a panel titled “Can Russia sustain a wartime economy?” and somehow managed to book… zero actual Russia economy experts.

Instead: a Belarusian opposition figure, a Russian China specialist, and the foreign ministers of Moldova, the Netherlands and Romania.

• Journalist Brian McDonald on X

😂

Most important part of being a Russian expert in the West is to not know anything about Russia.

@Slavyangrad

In Kiev, huge queues of hundreds of people have formed at ground transport stops.

Recall, the metro is operating in a limited mode after the night-time shelling .

@Slavyangrad

Taxi prices in Kiev have soared amidst a transportation collapse following a nighttime attack.
