Wake up Babe! It's time for your daily Nazi apologia thread!

By Larry Johnsson [https://sonar21.com/why-the-west-lusts-after-ukraine/]:

"...Let me share with you some critical facts about Ukraine and its economic potential. When you consider these facts you will likely wonder why Ukraine is not one of the richest nations in Europe.

UKRAINE IS:

• 1st in Europe in proven recoverable uranium ore reserves;

• 2nd place in Europe and 10th place in the world in titanium ore reserves;

• 2nd place in the world in terms of explored reserves of manganese ores (2.3 billion tons, or 12% of world reserves);

• The 2nd largest iron ore reserves in the world (30 billion tons);

• 2nd place in Europe in mercury ore reserves;

• 3rd place in Europe (13th place in the world) in terms of shale gas reserves (22 trillion cubic meters);

• 4th place in the world in terms of the total value of natural resources;

• 7th place in the world in coal reserves (33.9 billion tons).

Ukraine is an important agricultural country:

• 1st in Europe in terms of arable land area;

• 3rd place in the world by the area of chernozem (25% of the world volume);

• 1st place in the world in the export of sunflower and sunflower oil;

• 2nd place in the world in barley production and 4th place in barley export;

• 3rd largest producer and 4th largest exporter of corn in the world;

• The 4th largest potato producer in the world;

• The 5th largest rye producer in the world;

• 5th place in the world for honey production (75,000 tons);

• 8th place in the world in wheat exports;

• 9th place in the world in the production of chicken eggs;

• 16th place in the world in cheese exports.

Ukraine can meet the food needs of 600 million people.

Ukraine was an important industrially developed country:

• 1st in Europe in ammonia production;

• The 2nd and 4th largest natural gas pipeline systems in the world;

• 3rd largest in Europe and 8th in the world in terms of installed capacity of nuclear power plants;

• 3rd place in Europe and 11th in the world in terms of the length of the railway network (21,700 km);

• 3rd place in the world (after the USA and France) in the production of locators and navigation equipment;

• 3rd largest iron exporter in the world;

• The 4th largest exporter of turbines for nuclear power plants in the world;

• The world’s 4th largest manufacturer of rocket launchers;

• 4th place in the world in clay exports;

• 4th place in the world in titanium exports;

• 8th place in the world in the export of ores and concentrates;

• 9th place in the world in the export of defense industry products;

• The 10th largest steel producer in the world (32.4 million tons).

I found this list stunning. A country with these natural riches should be on top of the world economically. But Ukraine lags the rest of Europe. The explanation is simple–western politicians and businessmen, such as Mitt Romney, John Kerry, Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, John McCain and a legion of others, have their hooks in Ukraine and are expropriating Ukrainian wealth for their own enrichment."

Love to watch everything get more expensive because my dumb-fuck country couldn't help but pucker up for the United States as it fails to use its monopolistic economic power to wipe out a country they're still mad at for doing Communism several decades ago.

https://old.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/vc3l63/finlands_last_lenin_monument_removed_from_streets/ wow can't believe the country that still using swastikas did this

A fantastic story full of phantoms and smoke [Russian source - https://t.me/rybar/33912]: Frenchies supply cluster munition (banned by the Oslo Convention, thus which France "destroyed to the last one" years ago) to Ukraine ("almost ran out of artilery shells" if you remember) who then spend that which they almost don't have to fight Russians ...bomb and kill civilians in Donbass - it happens as we speak!?

But it doesn't really matter, since - according to western media - these murders never happened anyway.

Russian forces cut off last routes out of eastern Ukraine city Reuters

Wonder if it will later come out that Ukraine blew up the bridge. I agree with what DefensePoliticsAsia said, seems a little weird for Russia to blow up the bridge they need to use to advance to Lysychansk :thonk: it'd be smarter to hold the bridge under fire control if Russia/LPR wants to cut off the supply line.

Summary:

News:

Apparently there won't be a recession in Europe! The European Commission says that they're fine with Ukraine joining the EU, but the actual countries in the EU probably won't be. Ukraine has lost 25% of its arable land to war, but that's not too awful because a lot of people have left Ukraine - thank god there isn't a campaign to transport the remaining grain out of the country to the detriment of its citizens. Russia starts to strip anti-war protestors of their citizenship, while their oil revenue soars, as China and India now make 50% of Russia's seaborne oil exports. Poland looks at Ukraine and says that it also wants a ton of new weapons. The UK is sending record amounts of gas and oil to the EU, while the EU is annoyed with the UK for breaking the law on the whole Northern Ireland Brexit thing. The real wages of UK workers tumble at the fastest rate in 20 years, while fuel prices hit new heights. There are also protests over the UK sending migrants to Rwanda, with Corbyn coming out to make a brief speech. Macron says that France now has a war economy. German inflation is nearly the highest it's been in 50 years.

An article on China and the Pacific, for those who don't really know what's going on over there. China wants stronger security ties with Pakistan. Taiwan says that the Taiwan Strait is an international waterway and that it's fine for US battleships to float through it, as literally every country would be fine if a hostile power put their navy off their shores. Laos says they might ban their citizens from holding foreign currencies in order to address national currency issues. Japan farmers are switching some of their farms from rice to wheat. Indian pollution reduces the life expectancy of people there by 10 years. India's Supreme Court recognizes sex work as a profession, and that sex workers should not be harassed by the police. Russia is now India's 2nd largest oil supplier, outpacing Saudi Arabia, but still behind Iraq. Weaning Indonesia off coal will be difficult.

The Secretary General of the Arab League says that the US has been berating them to support Ukraine and not Russia, but they aren't gonna do what the US says. Israel is now conducting military drills near the Gaza fence. Meanwhile, Israelis start panicking that their nation is doomed because historically, Jewish rule has almost never lasted longer than 80 years, and Israel was founded in 1948 - almost as if Israel is cursed after it was built upon a native burial ground. Maybe the prophecy has some substance, as Israel's ruling coalition is about to fall apart, which would then cause the fifth election in three years.

Biden has an opportunity in Saudi Arabia, apparently. Pakistan is facing a major energy crisis, similar to Sri Lanka, with 12 hour blackouts due to reduced fuel imports because Europe is hogging all of it. Iraq just had another big sandstorm, closing Baghdad airport. A chemical factory in Iran just exploded, while the heads of Iran and Afghanistan's railways want mutual cooperation to get some trains going.

Over 15,000 sheep drown in Sudan after too many were packed onto a boat. Libya is facing a serious political crisis - who can say why these have kept popping up over the last decade. The French army tactically retreats from a Mali army base. Gambia gets a ~$7 million disbursement from the IMF.

Canada wants to start mining Africa for minerals. Elizabeth Warren realize that the real problem with the US military is that it's not green enough, and so want more electric vehicles - hopefully they buy some cars from Tesla. There will be a recession. There might be a recession. There will be a recession. There is still inflation. The US wants more Russian fertilizer due to the fertilizer markets going haywire and the oncoming global food crisis. Prices for workers rise by more than 9% - hopefully Joe Biden will successfully answer the parliamentarian's riddles three and get us some aid this year. The US military realizes that they actually have to have an air defence when you aren't fighting shepherds and terrorists, and so wants lasers. America also starts drilling more oil.

Chile's drought is still really bad and getting worse, as lakes turn into deserts. Honduras starts planting cashews rather than corn as they're better at surviving local conditions. Ecuadorian indigenous groups protest economic policies by their conservative president, as fuel prices are so high.

Food giants get even richer, with 62 new food billionaires coming in existence over the last 2 years, as global food prices go up by 33%.

Conflict:

Ukraine starts really bombarding Donetsk city for no apparent military reason, hitting a maternity hospital - and, Ukraine hits a Russian settlement 50km into Russian territory. There's a good roundup by Canadian Dimension on how fucking stupid the western media has been during the war, such as that Russia obviously thought they could capture and hold a city with 3 million civilians and 60,000 Ukrainian troops with 40,000 Russian troops. Western media is reporting that Russia blew up the last bridge to Severodonetsk, while Russia reports that Ukraine did it. Business Insider finally realizes that Russia's T-62 tanks aren't going to be used in epic tank battles with Ukraine, and so do in fact have a use. The makers of the Javelin forgot to properly translate their ~300 page manual to Ukrainian, resulting in Ukraine needing customer service. US officials say that it's probably not a big deal that we don't know where our weapons are going in Ukraine.

Climate:

More green hydrogen, this time in India. The UN Secretary General says that new investments in fossil fuels are delusional. Also, it turns out if you feed cows red seaweed, they produce less methane.

Dipshittery and Good Takes:

WaPo makes another article about how China and Russia are autocratic besties working to destroy all things bright and beautiful in the West. Zelensky says that he'll retake Donbass and Crimea. Forbes writes an article about how 54 quintillion Russia and Donbass soldiers have died. Warren Buffett's son, who is 67 years old(!) says that he's never seen a war which generates millions of refugees in his lifetime. Ukrainian troops become twisted fucking cyclepaths, dehumanizing dead Russian soldiers. Apparently, there are significant Ukrainian "successes" near Kherson. 15% of Russia's millionaires are leaving Russia, owning the Putler once again. On the not-so-brighter side, Jacobin writes an article about how the Fed is declaring war on workers (always has been).

Russia is reporting that Ukrainian nationalists troops have gunned down 32 Ukrainian soldiers as they were trying to surrender. This happened in Mariupol's oblast.

show me your math

youtube is recommending lib-ass videos from a channel called 1420 which asks people in moscow a bunch of leading questions like "do you think russians will have to pay for the reconstruction of ukraine?" which are propagandistic but also it seems like a good channel to learn russian from if you can handle all the lib shit.

it seems like comments are on but only the creator can read them? the swag store only sells items with the logo "1420". kind of a hard channel to wrap my head around, but if i had to guess, it's anti-russian videos made in moscow. anyone else seen this channel?

:meow-hug:

Michelle Bachelet isn't seeking a second term for her position after Western politicians and media got really mad over her Xinjiang investigation. I'm expecting the next person to be rabidly anti-China and fixated on it.
