From the Telegram channel of Dmitry Medvedev....

"What else is there? Yes, of course, the departure of luxury segment sellers from our country. What to do now without the opportunity to buy bags and fur coats for several million rubles? This is an irreparable loss.
....
The world is waking up, and confidence in reserve currencies is fading like morning mist. Abandoning the dollar and the euro as the world's main reserves does not look like such a fantastic prospect. What kind of reserves are these if the obligations on them are frozen and actually defaulted by the will of insane politicians who are ready to bring their taxpayers' money to the altar of an unknown victory in the war "to the last Ukrainian"? Who needs them in this case? They do not even want to take them as payment for contracts for fuel supplies. The era of regional currencies is coming.
No matter how much anyone would like, they will have to negotiate a new financial world order. And then the decisive word will be for those countries that have a strong and advanced economy, healthy public finances, and a reliable monetary system. And by no means for those who endlessly increase their public debt, issuing into circulation new and new pieces of paper, not backed by national wealth, fictitious obligations for which the decrepit authorities can refuse to pay at any moment."

The Trump administration's Ukraine 'policy' - if it can be dignified with that name - is descending into chaos, with a telephone conversation between Lavrov and Rubio described initially as 'constructive' now spoken of as a 'disaster', and with a summit meeting in Budapest which Trump himself almost certainly proposed alternatively on and off again, so that the Hungarians are now anxiously trying to find out what is actually going on.

Trump himself seems not to know his own policy, agreeing with Putin in Alaska that a ceasefire is unworkable and saying so in writing, telling Zelensky on Friday to withdraw from Donbass or be 'destroyed', and then just hours later appearing to call off a summit with Putin because the Russians won't agree to the very ceasefire he agreed with them in Alaska was unworkable.

I know there are some people who see some strategy here. I am finding it increasingly impossible to do so. To me it looks more like the bewildered responses of a confused old man in a...

A quick commentary on the "Piss Summit"

I might not be able to upload much more or do lives for a while

My Fellow Duranianss.

Yes, it's happened again. I have been assaulted by a vicious Malware Bot Virus or whatever 911 Socks is and this thing is bad !

However I wanted to give you a "peace" of my mind concerning the "Piece" or piss, as Elensky calls it, as this thing fell to pieces before it even happened.

Coincidentally on the very SAME DAY this crap happened Saudi Arabia DROPPED the US Petrodollar as a buying currency and NO ONE absolutely NO ONE is talking about this fact anywhere !!!

Hope to see you all asap.
