Ukraine - Ruble is Global Best Performing Currency in March

Russia's Ruble is Global Best Performing Currency in March; 1st Qtr Current Account Surplus Soars to Record High

Russian President Vladimir Putin said defiantly on Monday that Western sanctions have proved to be “ineffective” in meeting their objective. In his words, “They (US and EU) expected these sanctions to rapidly produce a devastating effect on Russia’s finances and economy, sow panic in the markets, bring about a collapse in the banking system and create major shortages of goods in shops.”

“However, we can already say in all confidence that this policy has failed in Russia. The strategy of unleashing an economic blitzkrieg has been ineffective. Moreover, the sanctions affected those who initiated them. I am referring to higher inflation and unemployment and the worsening economic outlook for the United States and European countries, as well as the declining living standards of Europeans and the depreciation of their savings.”

All indications are that the contingency planning that Russia had worked out to pull through a severe sanctions regime is paying off. The ruble’s recovery has been absolutely astounding. The US President Biden had boastfully redacted that he’d turn ruble into “rubble” but the exact opposite happened. In the immediate aftermath of sanctions, the Russian currency plunged to 121.5 ruble per dollar and things looked dire enough. But it has since surged all the way back to where it was before Russia’s special operation in Ukraine began — around 80 ruble per USD in mid-April. Ironically, ruble turned out to be the best performing currency in March!

Putin noted that consumer prices have “grown considerably in Russia over the past six weeks, by 9.4 percent,” and people have “felt the impact on their family incomes.” He announced a decision “to adjust all social benefits, pensions and wages in the public sector, in accordance with inflation.” Russia can afford it, as in the first quarter of this year, “we are witnessing a record level of budget surplus.”

In comparison, it is a dismal scene in the US with inflation touching a 40-year high — 8.54% for March — that is going to get only worse if the conflict in Ukraine continues. Worse still, this scenario may upset Biden’s green energy plan. As for Germany, the largest EU economy, this year’s inflation is expected to touch double figures.

Interestingly, Russia is enjoying a “robust trade surplus” and in the first quarter of the year, current account surplus exceeded $58 billion, “setting a historical high. Foreign cash is returning to the banking sector and household deposits are growing.” Indeed, the factors behind the ruble roaring back are self-evident.

It seems the EU has sensed that Russia is putting back together amazingly well the pieces of life in an environment of extreme isolation from the West. The EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell has admitted publicly that “With regard to financial sanctions, of course, you can always go further, but we have already reached the limits of what we can do. We did everything we could.”

PS.  The shallowness of the Americans daft thinkers is showing. Instead of destroying Russia with this war, Russia is having a bonanza while Europe is going to have a runaway inflation and the US not far behind.  This is like picking a real big piece of rock to drop on one's own feet.

Well done silly Americans. Everything they do will turn and bite them.

Ukraine - Brexit real agenda exposed!

 For a long while, many analysts must be wondering what on earth would Britain chose to exit the EU to become little Britain, all alone, and hoping to exist in a world that have been carved up into blocs by trade pacts. Little Britain on its own would be like a little fish in an ocean of sharks and whales and would not be able to survive on its own. Every little country for existential reasons must join trade pacts, be part of a bigger trading bloc to be protected and to thrive as a group.

For little Britain to go it alone, acting as if it is still the British Empire and can call the shot, dominating over countries of the world, is pure madness. Little Britain must sink to the bottom of the ocean bed without being a member of EU. China is going to ignore little Britain for good reasons. The rest of the world would have nothing to do with little Britain as they are all members of trading blocs. The USA would also have no place for little Britain unless little Britain wants to be another state of the USA.

Apparently this is what it turns out to be. The Brits and the AngloSaxon countries have struck a secretive pact to rule the world again. Europe would be subservient to this AngloSaxon pact, and to be sacrificed if needed to. The war in Ukraine has exposed the evil plot of the AngloSaxon tribe. Europe would do the bidding of the AngloSaxon tribe, and be part of the neo AngloSaxon Empire. Not a single European country can opt out. They would be opted in by the AngloSaxon tribe or be destroyed.

In the Ukraine war it is obvious who is calling the shot and dictating the war and who are the soldiers or pawns in this war. If the AngloSaxon tribe can win this war, with Europe as their gambling chips, and destroy Russia and China in the process, the rest of the world would simply acquiesce and become colonies of the neo AngloSaxon Empire, without any resistance. And little Britain's position would be safely entrenched, no need to be part of EU, no need to fear being left out in the cold by China or other trade pacts. Little Britain would just sit on the shoulder of the Americans and be a member of the neo AngloSaxon Empire, to rule the world for another thousand years or more.

Little Britain does not need the EU to survive. It needs only to be a member of the neo AngloSaxon Empire in a New World Order. All the European resources are now conscripted by the Americans to fight their war against Russia and China while the Americans and the Brits sit safely across the Atlantic Ocean and English Channel, watching the massacre  and destruction of the Europeans and Europe.

Long live the neo AngloSaxon Empire. It has all been worked out and going as planned.

Ukraine - Fumbling and bungling Americans

 

BTW, it's America who is ill prepared to confront either China or Russia:

“For the same reason, the war in Ukraine is a sobering preview of the problems the U.S. itself would face in a conflict against Russia or China. If forced to go to war in Eastern Europe or the Western Pacific, Washington would spend down its stockpiles of missiles, precision-guided munitions and other critical capabilities in days or weeks. It would probably suffer severe losses of tanks, planes, ships and other assets that are sophisticated, costly and hard to replace.”

Interesting! So it was actually the U.S. all along that had no stocks for war, not Russia.

In fact the Pentagon and MSM lied all along. Russia is by far the largest producer of armaments, shells, ammunition on earth, more than all NATO countries combined. The lie we were fed about Russia running out of fuel, ammo, food, etc., was laughable and seen through by any analyst with a brain from the beginning.

But more shocking revelations abound:

“In the world wars of the last century, America’s unmatched manufacturing base ultimately powered it to victory. But today, replenishing the free world’s arsenal might not be so easy.

American economic leadership is no longer based primarily on manufacturing. Shortages of machine tools, skilled labor and spare production capacity could slow a wartime rearmament effort. The U.S. can’t quickly scale up production of Stinger missiles for Ukraine, for example, because the workforce needed to do so no longer exists.”

Solomon Islands - Wonderful News

Chinese FM confirmed that China and the Solomon Islands have formally signed the security cooperation framework agreement

Much to the chagrin of Australia and the United States, the Chinese Foreign Ministry confirmed that China and the Solomon Islands have formally signed the security cooperation framework agreement.

Australia and the US had frantically exerted unprecedented pressure on the Solomon Islands to thwart the security cooperation deal between China and the island nation and drive a wedge between the two countries.

"We have asked the Solomon Islands respectfully to consider not signing the agreement," said Zed Seselja, Australian Minister for International Development and the Pacific, according to a statement after Seselja met with the island nation's prime minister Manasseh , according to Reuters on Wednesday. Sogavare find it "insulting" as the Australian minister took a condescending attitude and disrespected the Pacific island country's sovereignty.

Covid19 - Should Dr Peter McCullough be pofma?

The Australian Senate has concluded a special enquiry into Australia’s handling of Covid.

Here is a top US medical expert, Dr. Peter McCullough testifying and it is worthwhile to listen to him
https://rumble.com/vyb162-covid-under-question-dr-peter-mccullough.html

The rest of the video recordings…
https://drtrozzi.org/2022/04/17/australia-covid-under-question-inquiry-complete-video-collection/

Summary:
- Vaccines do not work
- Vaccines cause harm
- No need for lock-downs
- No need for masks

I urge MOH to debate this issue with Dr. Peter McCullough. It is about the future and the fate of Singapore.

 

The above was posted as a comment in TRE.  Not sure how valid this is as social media postings are mostly unreliable compare to main media postings that are well researched and most reliable to be true.

The findings of Dr McCullough are very serious. He discussed several issues including fraud by Pfizer on not disclosing the 1,233 deaths within 90 days of the use of the vaccines. According to him, any drug that caused 50 deaths in 90 days must be withdrawn from the market. There were a lot of negligence on the part of FDA to monitor closely all the data available from Pfizer. Pfizer is facing many lawsuits and likely to be in deep shit, with criminal charges as well.

McCullough's view, the vaccine must be withdrawn immediately and there should be no more booster shots. The vaccines is harmful and not preventing transmission at all. I say again, it does not prevent transmission. He is against any country mandating the use of the vaccines. Countries mandating the use of this vaccines are exposing their people to high risk of death.

This is a bombshell. The court ruling to release all the data from Pfizer is going to blow up sky high. Pfizer, FFA and many people would be prosecuted for their parts in approving this vaccine for public use. This is another big American lie.

The Australians are asking why they fell into this insanity of following the Americans blindly to vaccinate the masses, some with compulsion and the use of the law. The Australians are feeling so screwed and angry by this American lie for vaccinating their population with this dangerous vaccine.

 

One absurb point brought up by McCullough is that the vaccine was supposed to prevent Covid and it is so absurb to vaccinate someone already infected by the virus. Once infected, what is the point of vaccination? The vaccine is like a raincoat, to prevent one getting wet. What is the point of putting on a raincoat after getting wet?

Wait for the shock wave across the world when Pfizer is brought before the American court. Many Americans are waiting to tear down Pfizer and demand compensation for death and injury and future harm.

What do you think? If this Dr McCullough is lying or spreading disinformation, he should be pofma and charge in court and put behind bars.

 

PS. It is highly recommended to view the video discussion in rumble.com above. The moral of the story, if something is too good to be true, beware. In this pandemic, if something is looking crazy, run for your life.

This professor has been 'cancelled' by the American democratic system that professed freedom of expression. All his rights as an individual, as a respected professional and professor has been withdrawn, cancelled. But they dare not sue him or charge him.
