Reports are doing the rounds that both Finland and Sweden have received notice from the Russian Government to provide them with Security Guarantees.
The guarantee sought most likely includes demands such as they do not join NATO
The Russian government demanded similar from NATO and Ukraine before the invasion.
Wtf? These are paralympic athletes, this cancel Russia operation is way too inhumane and cruel.
It seems they can only compete as "neutral" now.
Question: where can we post news about the war? There are lot of developments and it is a shame we don't have anywhere to post them
Can I just say how lucky we are that this war and western sanctions/criminal behaviour happened before the "Two Sessions" political meetings?
It is time for everyone to put aside their differences and start doing some real work to break the West's back on their western currencies wide usage ($/€).
We need to drastically accelerate decoupling from Western currencies while at the same time, get closer to the rest of the world. This should be the top national security task for everyone
With Russia's economy/influence significantly weakened, I think its time for a regional agreement (SCO?)on local (including digital) currencies usage in Central Asia at minimum.Accumulating $3 trillion of reserves mean nothing if you can’t use them when they can be frozen instantly.
Digital yuan use should be rapidly accelerated.
