    I have no doubt that China is developing very quickly.

    But at the moment, China is unlikely to survive the severing of economic relations with the US and its satellites.

    By the way, it’s time to talk about India. India will now supply gasoline to Russia. It will supply diesel to Ukraine, and gasoline to Russia.

    In Crimea, there is no gasoline at all at civilian gas stations, and in some regions of Russia, there is a gasoline shortage. Gasoline prices have increased by half. Speculators have doubled theirs.

    The Russian stock market has noticeably fallen. The situation is not critical right now, but a lot depends on how quickly Russia finds a way to counter.

    Now everyone is expecting a Russian retaliatory strike. There has been no response yet since the attack on Moscow. Lately, the strikes against us have been very weak every night. The siren rarely sounds. It’s very strange.

    Remember I told you about the “Skelya” unit of the Ukrainian Armed Forces? Yesterday, Ukrainian media reported cases of flagrant inhumane treatment of soldiers there by the leadership. Torture, sexual violence, murder, suicide. These people haven’t even reached the front yet. Criminals released from prison are committing this lawlessness.

    A friend of mine ended up there, and he told me the same thing. This is how they force the “busified” soldiers to fight. Because people reduced to the state of animals are willing to do anything to escape their suffering, even die during an assault. We were talking recently about how the “busified” soldiers hold the front and even counterattack. That’s it!!! These are no longer people, but animals reduced to the state of animals. These people are impossible to break because they have no other choice. They believe their chances of surviving an assault are better.

    And Syrsky is personally orchestrating this entire hellish spectacle.

    And this entire “banquet” is being paid for by the collective West.

    We, ordinary Ukrainians, are held captive by the devil!

    When I think about it, I feel sick!

    I’m certain that if the regime in Ukraine doesn’t change, a civil war will break out very soon after the war.

    And this won’t even be a war between the west and the east of Ukraine, but a war between those who return from the war and those who bullied and abused them in training, and then threw them into brutal assaults.

    And these won’t be frightened citizens hiding in their homes; these will be battle-hardened thugs with weapons.

    And if the regime changes, all this scum will immediately flee to the west with the stolen money. But then the country will be cleansed of this scum naturally.

      I’m going to repeat this again, we have concrete and irrefutable proof that China is no longer dependent on the west. China was completely unaffected by Trump’s 140% tariffs which basically amounted to cutting off trade, and just now we saw that China is similarly unaffected by global oil disruption. The reality is that the world has changed, and developing economies are growing rapidly while the west is in an accelerating decline. The west isn’t the centre of global economic gravity anymore.

      Outside Crimea, the shortages seem to be more a result of panic buying than anything else given that export volumes haven’t been affected. There is going to be a lot of pressure on Putin to do some major retaliation now though, and this time he might have to.

      Even though they can force people to fight by dehumanizing them, this is not an effective tactic. Notice how Russian advance is accelerating now, and big towns towns like Konstantinovka that used to be fought over really hard are now falling mostly intact. There are no more fights to take very building like what we saw in Artemovsk.

      It is absolutely sick what western backed fascists are doing to the people of Ukraine and how people in the west keep cheering for it.

      And I think there likely will be a mutiny in the army sooner or later as well. We talked about this a long time go, but the dynamic is that they have to use actual trained and motivated soldiers to do important operations, and each time that happens the ones that are lost can’t be replaced. Russians know this and that’s why towns like Pokrovsk are always used as nazi roach motels. Ukraine has no choice but to defend them to the last because it looks bad to western sponsors when they lose them. So, they can’t just throw mobics there. And that depletes the core of motivated fascists holding the army together. Eventually there will be an inflection point where there just aren’t enough of them and the mobics will start taking revenge for all the abuse they suffered.

      Also, when they flee to the west that’s when things are going to get really bad for Europe. They’ve already been smuggling a lot of weapons into Europe and establishing links with fascists there. Once you have a whole bunch of hardened, trained, and well armed fash running around, Europe might start looking a lot like Syria at that point.

        I’m going to repeat this again, we have concrete and irrefutable proof that China is no longer dependent on the west.

        With the exception of the $600 billion trade volume—where, yes, China sells more to the U.S. than it buys—and high-tech developments that China has not yet created itself but which are possessed by the U.S. (or Taiwan, which utilizes U.S. technology)…

        Outside Crimea, the shortages seem to be more a result of panic

        Yes, due to panic, among other things.

        that export volumes haven’t been affected.

        Comrade, you can’t fuel a car with crude oil…)))

        Once again:

        You got a bit carried away regarding the “major cities,” Comrade. )))) I only heard of that particular city at the start of the war… )))) When you’re driving along the highway, you’re hardly going to remember the names of every village you pass. In the USSR, that kind of place was classified as an “urban-type settlement.” To a resident of Kharkiv, it’s just a backwater village. I know Sloviansk well—I used to visit often; there was a really good “cook” there… you know, Breaking Bad style… )))) People would travel all the way from Kharkiv just to get his “product.” It’s a real hick town, too—they speak Surzhyk there.

        The major cities—or rather, not “major,” just cities—that Russia has captured are Berdyansk, Mariupol, and Kherson.

        As for Sloviansk, they’ve turned it into a fortress city. I doubt the Russians will be able to capture it quickly. It’s the next city on the list after Mariupol.

        It is absolutely sick what western backed fascists are doing to the people of Ukraine and how people in the west keep cheering for it.

        Look, this is Ukrainian TV. Things got to the point where they had to announce this to the whole country.

        This woman, the Ukrainian ombudsperson who visited “Skelya,” shares her “impressions.”

        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mrkC8kV0Bc&t=275s

        And take a look at the comments below—it’s all those “pot-heads” finally seeing the light; all the comments are in Ukrainian!!! Morons—what were they thinking before?

        The NABU, of course, “got involved” in the “investigation.”

        For now, this is only in theory.

        Also, when they flee to the west that’s when things are going to get really bad for Europe. They’ve already been smuggling a lot of weapons into Europe and establishing links with fascists there. Once you have a whole bunch of hardened, trained, and well armed fash running around, Europe might start looking a lot like Syria at that point.

        Yes, I completely agree with you; it will be a mafia, armed to the teeth, terrorizing all of Europe. The consequences of the war will continue to haunt Europe for a long time to come.

          Trade with the US was already less than 3% in 2024, it’s even less now:

          Chinese exports of goods and services to the U.S. was 2.9% of Chinese GDP in 2024

          I’m expecting Sloviansk/Kramatorsk will get taken this summer, and why there’s such a major panic now.

          And nobody cared before because people were getting grabbed from eastern Ukraine, now the kidnappings are starting to happen in western Ukraine more and more. I think it’s also an indication of how desperate the situation is. See how Europeans are now trying to send people back too. There are real manpower problems nobody wants to talk about.

          By the way, another good summary https://youtu.be/9EpDoB-xgOE
