India and China stand to gain the most out of Russia’s quest for new markets. Russia has offered discounted prices to them and payment systems in local currencies. However, India and China’s response present a study in contrast.
To help sort through the miasma surrounding the demonization of Vladimir Putin and the frenzied relentlessness of anti-Russia hysteria, a look at the late Stephen F. Cohen’s book, War with Russia? From Putin and Ukraine to Trump and Russiagate.
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. Plus: extract from – “US Narrative Won’t Survive Defeat in Donbass”.
The Ukraine crisis naturally shows specific national features. But it is also the manifestation of an escalating U.S. international military policy which is created by the economic weakening of the U.S. while it continues to have military strength.
The Russian Ministry of Defence’s offer of surrender terms to the personnel of the extreme nationalist neo-Nazi battalions and foreign mercenaries in the Azovstal iron and steel works in Mariupol indicates that the battle of Mariupol is about to end.
Sergey Glazyev, who is Russia’s Minister in Charge of Integration and Macroeconomics of the Eurasia Economic Union (EAEU), answers a series of questions related to the design of a new monetary /financial system via an association between the EAEU and China, bypassing the U.S. dollar.
It is hard to fathom the depths of our time, the terrible wars, and the confounding information that whizzes by without much wisdom. Certainties that flood the airwaves and the internet are easy to come by, but it appears that much of the ‘certainties’ are caught up in the ‘Cold War mentality’.
The United States (backed by the whole of NATO) is in a long proxy war with Russia, with Ukraine as the battlefield. The U.S. role in this conception is to provide more and more weapons faster and faster with Ukraine doing the fighting, bolstered by foreign mercenaries.
The city of Bucha, in Ukraine, has recently come to the attention of Western corporate media, for the purpose of criminalizing Russia for the supposed assassination of 300 civilians. However, the lack of evidence for these claims brings into doubt any allegations that the Russian military was involved.
New Delhi needs to be clear headed and has to grasp the reality that the Ukraine conflict is a template of the Indo-Pacific strategy.
