" Gas prices in Russia should rise to a level that allows for the financing of gasification projects and the implementation of large investment projects, said Gazprom representative Alexei Sakharov at a meeting of the State Duma Committee on Energy. "

This is probably just one part of the reason.

- Russian oil refinery in Kstovo is burning, it was targeted by Ukrainian kamikaze drones. The oil refinery in Kstovo is the 4th most powerful in Russia. With a processing capacity of 17 million tons per year. -

Hopefully everyone has noticed that most national and world agendas culminate in 2030. Funny how that is.

LOL. Invites RU to leave itself worse off in every respect than prior to 2022.

Additionally Kiev gets an express EU membership and with it Orban-style vetos to tie an entire continent to a rabid knee-jerk anti-Russian track forever. https://x.com/marmar_ae/status/1884482996801265690

" In reality, Putin shot his load with the two-week SMO and missed. Then he choked and fled Kiev leaving behind an entire convoy of weapons for some reason. "

As much as I like Rurik's analyses this is where he and I differ and part ways. Putin didnt shoot his load, or was deceived. This has been a highly coordinated and orchestrated plan all along. The SMO will now be conveniently wrapped up and concluded because most of its objectives have been completed and its time to move on to the next scene of the production.

" This is a war with two clearly stated objectives: de-militarization and de-Russification. The migrants are the Kremlin’s greatest allies in accomplishing the second objective. "

For evidence, check out the daily Negrophilia on RT news.

It's not just Putin playing "double agent". One only has to look up WEF "ideals" like "smart cities" and verify that all of them are either planned or being implemented also in BRICS countries and even countries like Argentina, supposedly "against WEF and BRICS". Which again reminds of feudal fiefdoms warring each other over trivialities despite rulers being related. And it's not limited to medieval Europe. Those familiar with ancient works like Gilgamesh Epic could interpret part of that (the search for the plant of eternal life) as a failure of the general population re "enlightenment", that failure being the cause for the present mess too.

Every politician with a pole has a fervent desire to have the full smart surveillance state under their oversight. The temptation is so great , not one country will say nyet.

By the time 24/7 surveillance is possible in a country, politicians will discover too late that they made themselves obsolete for the owners of the surveillance state.

Yes. Putin is a traitor to Russia. He lets soldiers die for nothing, and make them kill their brothers the Ukrainians. So, if there is no 5D chess war, accordingly, there would be no 5D analysis, right? Don't you think the time has come to stop the rhetoric machine Rurik, and talk about concrete actions? What do you have in mind, other than writing for the dwarfts and deafths?

What concrete actions? You want to go to Moscow with your shotgun?

No, vith my big Panzer, ya, ya! Very funny. Honestly, I don't know. I am just saying that we should do something instead of talking. The kind of concrete actions that we can't talk about I guess.

Perhaps patriotic generals in the army, taking over the power there in a coup, processing Putin and the rest, and freeing Russia?

The problem with most people is that they are always looking for someone to tell them what to do. The problem with most is that they are sheep.

Just like with Russia, statements like this tell me all need to know, Its all theater. Additionally, if I was to bet I'd say it was Iran which gave all the info needed, about Hezbollah and Hamas, to have them destroyed. The exploding pager operation was just too Hollywood for me. I wouldnt be surprised if it was Iran that facilitated the purchase.

Have faith in the Lord comrade , Putin is his son on this earth. It is impossible for the human mind to understand his grandeur.

"Its ability to logistically support both its military and its private military contractors in Africa, as well as limiting the reputational damage incurred through the fall of the Assad regime, will almost certainly be priorities for the Russian government."

Strangely, and with odd timing ;) The Congo ( insanely full of minerals needed for high tech society ) has inexplicably just flared up in a massive way. Pure cohencidence.

Comrade Rurik,

Jews left Russia but Tel Aviv was not the only destination. Some have come to London ! Others have stayed in Paris and presumably in the USA. They come back, bringing fresh ideas from the West !

But Jews are not the only ones who left at the beginning of the not war. Plenty of middle or upper Russians have moved to Dubai, London, Helsinki, Paris and presumably elsewhere. Some of them wait for peace and resumption of normal relations (flights, money flows) in order to move back. At least they say so.

Question: If Russian and China cant seem to setup a alternate payment to SWIFT, and SWIFT is controlled and monitored by the ZioWest, how does Iran, for instance, pay Russia for the 34 SU-35 jets it just received ? Did they physically transfer the money by plane :)

Hey Rurik (and friends)

I clicked on the twitter link and listened to the podcast/debate... A pity cause it seems a lot is missing (many cuts/blanks space without sound... At least what I receive from it).

It got quite hot tempered by the end too.

Actually I am writing to ask Rurik another link. The link towards the 4/5 mins video of this DNR (?) fighter who was "blackpilling" everyone back in 2015(??) saying the actual truth about the "Donbass situation" and wishing that all slavs from both sides would finally understand the game and how they are all fucked in the *rse?? (in order to ignite a PROPER (R) Evolution ??)?!

Hi from "country 404"!

I have a western citizenship since birth, came to Ukraine in 2016 first time, settled, went away 3 months before the "SMO" (was one saying that there will be a war, in April 2021 already.. So I was seeing the signs.. And was shit scared of basically my worst nightmare taking shape (this + the Ko-Vid operation..).

But after 3 years Drifting around the world and incapable of closing the "country 404" chapter, out of actual friendships that rooted too much to let me "don't give a damn", I recently came back ( po ukrainski this time) and have my life and friends back (for those still alive).

I am not anti-whatever, I am pro... laughter, pro-friendship, pro-"housemade horilka" and drinking with friends, pro-seeds sowing and trees planting (Permaculture guy between different areas of interests) ,... Pro-life !

I enjoy Rurik's work, because he is the only one in English language, that I know of, who dares touching what needs to be touched in order to have a chance for a better future for each side.

I wanted to write to Rurik before.. But didn't. I don't know why now, especially.

Anyway : Rurik, thank you for what you are doing. Could you please share the link of this video interview from this soldier?

For the rest of the friends linked to Rurik's blog : don't worry, I am not going to monopolize this blog nor comment section. This is a one shot thing.

And NO, Ukraine doesn't automatically mean "Natonazi"... ;)

(I m sure Rurik actually will understand the point I want to make)

(ps: I lived in Moscow too, before = 2009/2011, where I learned Russian until a fluent level of mastery. So I have a taste of the difference between the two populations Moscovites and Kievians... And I tell you, you can say a lot about the Ukrainians... But they have much more sense of humor ;)) Even at blockposts!)

There goes another red line.

- Last night, the terrorist Kyiv regime also attempted to attack a Russian nuclear facility. Russian air defense destroyed Ukrainian UAVs that targeted the Smolensk NPP. The wreckage crashed in the area causing no damage. This NPP is a large energy facility and provides almost 90% of electricity in the region. -
