Andrei Martyanov’s March 3rd report

Ukraine operation. Operational Tempo and Context. Economic Warfare. 2022-03-03



In this report, Martyanov updates following developments:
  • In term of the international relationship, we just saw a VERY LITTLE, we HAVE NOT SEEN MANY THINGS YET... also Ukraine is merely one place among many whereas the West will meet Russia
  • Just for the start, the Roscosmos head Dmitry Rogozin said that Russia will stop deliveries of rocket engines to the United States
  • There is discussion in Russia about stop selling its HYDROCARBONS to the west, in particular Europe
  • There is talk and discussion to legislature in Russian Duma (Parliament) about NATIONALIZING WESTERN ASSETS in Russia (as said by other author, to balance the assets of the theft)
  • There is NOTHING which is UNEXPECTED by the Russian side on the operations and the consequences... this is a thorough military-political operation planning... many people are blank of the CONTEXT, the mainstream media simply mislead with its BS and disinfo
  • This is a real war, there will be death casualties, destructions, etc... Martyanov authored many books incl. on military, geopolitics... he emphasizes again that GEOPOLITICS is driven by Two factors: REAL ADVANCED PHYSICAL ECONOMY and ARMED FORCES (that an entity can produce and can operate properly to achieve results) -- Geography is merely a background -- note the emphasis on Real Advanced PHYSICAL Economy)...
  • How the world Splits Apart right now and a full-blown Multi-Polarity is created

Well, I just learned about his Youtube channel, and this is the very first segment I watched... Martyanov is definitely worth to watch, he's a no-nonsense type! I have read his blog -- smoothiex12 -- some time earlier. A very knowledgeable ex-military intellectual and has access to Russian-language news updates!


Who's Andrei Martyanov?

Long ago in the Soviet era, Martyanov graduated from a five-year, six day per week academic program at a rigorous Soviet Union naval academy. Among other things, this Russian guy studied lots of math and physics, military history and operations theory. Post-graduation, Martyanov served in a variety of assignments as a cadre officer in the Soviet navy of the 1980s, through the demise of the USSR in 1991.

In the 1990s, Martyanov emigrated to the United States, where, for a few years, he taught math and physics to American students, many of whom went on to impressive universities. Eventually he went to work for an aerospace contractor in the Puget Sound region. In 2014 Martyanov began a website called “Reminiscence of the Future.”

So if these Chinese banks are so scared about these western sanction, how does China still buy Iranian oil?
Bank of Kunlun does almost all of the Iranian oil trade, but have zero exposure to US financial system, so sanctions doesn't hurt it. Unlike some gungho nationalists ready to decouple, many Chinese banks actually has an interdependency with US that it isn't going to risk for Russia. That said, trade can still re-routed through dedicated regional banks or smaller banks without overseas exposure. The major Chinese banks with exposure to overseas US-dollar denominated services won't touch Russia with ten foot pole, but may re-routed business to smaller regional banks or shift towards yuan-denominated services and transactions.

They cannot enforce sanctions if the transactions are in RMB\Rouble\neutral currencies or they don't use American tech. Russian companies are opening them in the Chinese big 4 banks (others are not represented in Moscow).

Weird Nancy Pelosi clip during Biden's SOTU Address 2022-03-01


I have seen bizarre scene of her in other clip, but this one is interesting with some funny commentary from @trekaz (TikTok)
Probably some form of brain function degradation (e.g. Alzheimer) - those movements don't look intentional for me. The US is a gerontocracy, look at their president who is not even aware what the fuck is going on around him, and his likely opponent (Trump) is almost as old as Biden himself.

Yes, I should have clarified that the major Chinese banks are ending US-dollar denominated transactions and services but are replacing it with Yuan-denominated services. You are correct, US sanctions cannot affect Yuan-denominated services, and worse case, smaller regional banks with no overseas exposure can take up Russian trade, like how China conducts oil trade with Iran via Bank of Kunlun and other dedicated regional banks.

Ban whichever liberal media tried to stir this shit up
That's pretty good name-making considering the usual ignorance of the anti-China Western troll. I thought if they made it up, the headlines would read, "Two Chinese students, Ching Chong Chang, and Bing Bong Zoo, were raped and killed last night by Russian missiles; in their dying words they recount how the Chinese government is evil and had harvested their organs during the totally real Uyghur Genocide."
