Despite massive sanctions from the West, Russia is making more money from its oil and gas trade. Russia is expected to make more than $320 billion from energy sales in 2022, up more than a third from 2021. Sales have been bolstered by new demand from India, lasting trade with China, and soaring prices. The US, UK, and European Union all slapped Russia’s energy sector with historic sanctions in hopes of curbing the country’s invasion of Ukraine.
Despite those moves, Russia is selling more oil and gas today than it did before the war began.
A big problem, however, is the effect of the Biden administration’s and the EU’s sanctions on Russian exports of grain and fertilizer to developing countries in Africa. Severe food shortages are predicted because of them. —Eds
I’m just a lowely sparky but yet I can see that sanctions against Russia by the West will only harm Western people and their economies. Fertiliser, oil and gas from Russia will be shipped to other countries like India and Brazil where a profit mark-up will be applied and then the commodities on-sold to Western nations. Russia now has the added benefit that they have tied the Rubel to gold and oil whilst exposing the US dollars as worthless because any foreign holdings of US dollars can be snatched at any point by Western bankers and governments. Russia didn’t undermine the US dollar, the US Biden regieme did. They have only helped the Russian economy as far as I can see.
They are either astoundingly stupid or actively detroying their own economies and societies.
They act the former but after watching the whoile covid scam unfold it’s just another repeat of the later in my opinion.
“A big problem, however, is the effect of the Biden administration’s and the EU’s sanctions on Russian exports of grain and fertilizer to developing countries in Africa. Severe food shortages are predicted because of them.”
I’m not so sure about this certain African nations are fairing better off in their embrace of China who is looking to raise the standard of living there to develop and expand a market for Chinese goods and source natural resources. Any excess fuel, food and fertiliser Russia has as a result of EU and US sanctions would be welcomed even if it does get there via China, South Africa or India.
All the West has done is strip Africa of resources in return for SFA.
The West is just sanctioning itself out of existence as far as I can see. Imploding into irrelevance.
Sanctions are the lead pipe of the current equivalent of the Roman Empire.
Or was that the mRNA shots and the sanctions just the result of the subsequent insanity?
Cunning5stunt, I believe that is the plan to remove the cabal (the west, the globalists, the elites) – they have fallen into a well set trap, and good riddance to all of them. Yes, We the People will be going to go through some hard times ahead, if not already, but there is light at the end of the tunnel. The cabal leaders in the west are going to go down. Equality and true peace is ahead. Hallelujah!
I hope so, I just keep telling myself that for centuries we have never been nearer to getting rid of these greedy, fevered ego’s than we are right now.
Robin. Just where is your evidence for the fall of the cabal. What country do you live in. In NZ it is full speed ahead for the cabal. The Maori takeover of NZ is cabal driven.
Oil & gas exploration in NZ has shut down. The reduction of herd sizes by stealth is well under way. Full fluoridation is to happen, cabal driven.
The only way out is New Nation Party and a lot of people need to wake up for that to get the necessary traction.
Hullo Brian, I can only say to you, as a rank amateur, that I read Amy Benjamin (The Spirit of America on Rumble, well worth following. She is domiciled in NZ, ex Auckland University of Technology where she was a Senior Lecturer in Law, specialises in psyops and false flags), Kelvin Alp and Hannah Spierer on Counterspin Media on Rumble, Clif High on bitchute (he is well worth a look – a data analyst extraordinary), Janine Morigeau, Elena Danaan, Megan Rose, Charlie Ward, Michael Knight, ZeroHedge, Guy Hatchard, Linda Paris, anything I can get on the actions of President Donald Trump, Janet Ossebard (Fall of the Cabal series – bitchute or rumble), Scott McKay, Nicholas Veniamin, Tom Numbers, Simon Parkes, Michael Jaco, oh – and a very important one, Riccardo Bosi, the upcoming leader of Australia (my words) – check him out. A very positive, genuine and spiritual man – ex military – Lieut Colonel, SAS. Loved by thousands in Aus. Much like President Trump in the USA. His current aim is to convince the Governor General of Australia to dissolve Australian parliament – all of it. Dale Holmes in Melbourne, Australia, onbitchute or rumble. Not to mention the Voices for Freedom, Freedom and Rights Coalition, and watching Sue Grey’s work from the Outdoors Party. And there is probably more.
I live in New Zealand Brian! It has become evident now that Ardern is part of the cabal – the collection of leaders who support the WEF/Klaus Schwab – along with Trudeau, Macron, Johnson, Morrison, and many many more minions – including the police and the media who have been paid to back the governments to the hilt. They all speak the same language – if you watch the o/seas media, the words and phrases repeated ad nauseum around the world, to keep the sheep dumbed down. It is sickening.
Are you aware then of the true intent of Agenda 2030? Your few statements above of negative events in NZ – these actions, and so many more, are intended and deliberate to turn us into a slave state. We are not even a nation – we are a business – a corporation. And the slow but deliberate policy of the Agenda/Ardern is to bring the slave state about. Even as Klaus Schwab said – “you will own nothing and be happy.” Literal – we will be happy because we will be forcibly injected with stuff that will make us compliant. We will not own land, farmers will be forced off their land, replaced by WEF corporations (Bill Gates?), we will be forced to move to cities – smart cities – and live by the social credit system as in China, completely under control of the ruling power – if not Ardern, then Luxon who has made visits years ago with John Key to the home of Obama – the latter a cabal member. Why? All part of the long plan.
Incidentally are you aware that we have been in slavery of a slightly milder kind, for years and years? This business of slaving to own a home, all the while paying huge taxes for anything and everything, GST – a back breaker, working two jobs to make ends meet, working your guts out to feed a family (we had 4 children) – and then they put on Netflix for you, and some alcohol, so you won’t ask any questions about this fake system. The latest evil distraction being the smart phones. My God!
There is only one way to stop this ultimate cabal takeover, and a major need is to WAKE UP the New Zealand population. This will not come from any current parliamentarian or their minions – they are all tied up with the cabal. It can only come from a move outside. I had a memo yesterday from the Freedom and Rights Coalition urging the minor parties that are registered in NZ to combine for the next election in order to defeat the MMP restriction of 5% of the vote – so hard to get over that. This would be so good to see. Bury any differences for the ultimate gain of restoring our nation to something far better than it was.
Whilst the threat of complete, unremitting slavery is real, I personally do not, and cannot, believe that this will happen. I cannot see our beloved people, New Zealanders, warm and easygoing, descending into an abject, controlled, evil existance which has no escape, forever. I simply cannot see this and will not believe it. I have read predictions and reports about shadow governments, White Hats, the Alliance, who are actually fighting against the cabal and there is every indication they will be successful. There may be military intervention, but I am not party to all information. One such intervention was the instigation of a “warp speed vaccine” by President Trump as the threat of a covid19 bioweapon began to overtake the world – these biolabs of course created by the cabal. If he had not instigated that vaccine, it is said, we would all be dead by now. It interrupted a plot to take out a major percentage of the world population aka The Georgia Guidestones. ( I believe President Trump’s “vaccine” was something like a Vitamin C solution.) All-be-it the current “vaccine” has killed and injured far more than it has saved (I don’t think it has saved any!) and is an absolute tragedy.
I am also aware of the possibility that sleeping New Zealanders, and sleepers in other countries, may need to see freedom absolutely taken away from them, even worse outcomes, even though they are vaxxed and supposedly now free, in order to wake them up. This is going to be hard if that is the case. We are already witnessing rank lack of logic (re masks) from Hipkins – if only this would wake some of them up. A number of deaths reported every night on the news. Isn’t it funny that they never say if they are vaxxed or not. You can bet if they were unvaxxed we would know about it.
Other things that need exposure to New Zealanders is the number one major industry of the world – child and human trafficking – carried out by cabal members. All the recent presidents (ex Trump), monarchy, vatican, Hollywood, Australian governmental circles and judiciary, involved. I do not know about New Zealand, but this huge abhorrent fact needs to be known. As usual the media do not broadcast these truths. Karen Brewer knows about this (ex Australia), also Carlene Louise Hereora – both in NZ. Fiona Barnett in Australia and Jeanette Archer in England. Gave me such a terrible shock when I found out about it early last year. I attended a protest in Auckland arranged by Carlene – protesting against SRA – Satanic Ritual Abuse. The ritual abuse and killing of children. Yes, that is the extreme of the cabal. 800,000 children go missing a year – and it is said, that is probably a low figure. Ukraine – Putin’s first hit was Chernobyl – a huge child trafficking hub. I have now read that Mariupol is another.
There is so much more which I just do not have the time to write here. I have been “watching this space” for the last 2 years – I do not watch movies. Many others have been watching longer. I do not know where you are in your understanding Brian, but you may well have to put up with these ramblings of a crazy woman? My “evidence” is what I see and read with my two eyes. Contributed to by many excellent writers to Waikanae Watch – and Waikanae Watch himself. Keep up your good work Brian. Regards, Robin
If you think New Nation is the only way out you need to go away and have a serious think about government and why it needs us more than we need it. Popularity contests fix nothing.
Robin. I live in NZ. Christchurch. I recognise some of the names you mentioned. I have been following all this for decades. The scary part is the Globalist Communists have backed various Maori radicals to further the Globalist plans. The reason Key sent Sharples to New York. Key’s flag referendum and China getting the water is tied in. There are matters I wish to discuss with Amy Benjamin.
Are we permitted to know who Waikanai Watch is? A number of our politicians have been on Klaus Schwab courses and I believe that includes Ardern, Hipkins and Luxon. I am sure there are others. I do not know the pitch that they buy into.
Housing industry is a screw up, it may be deliberate. People with surplus income buy rentals. What a huge waste of NZ’s capital. The govt. subsidises landlords about $4billion per year while foreign interests buy the real economy.
Thank you for your lengthy reply.
Cunning…We have to start somewhere NNP and incidentally Trump works through the Republican party. We cant work through National therefore new party req’d.
When the destination card on the bus window says HELL changing the bus driver won’t help. People need to get off the bus, central government needs to be dissolved.
Have a watch of this Brian, pay particular attention around the 20:15 mark.
