Topic: The impact of Russian and Ukrain war on world economy - page 34. (Read 13245 times)

The Democrats enjoyed trifecta before the results came in yesterday. But that is no longer the case, as the GOP has wrested back control of the House. Senate is still with Democrats, and they enjoy a healthy margin of 52-48 (considering the fact that Murkowski almost always side with the Democrats). But for Biden, it will be more difficult to send tens of billions of USD to Ukraine, because he needs the approval from the House. The GOP majority is wafer-thin, so he maybe able to convince some of the fringe GOP members to vote for him.

Yes, many supporters of international terrorists (Russia) amuse themselves with fantasies that the Republicans will "win", cancel aid to Ukraine, make friends and help the terrorist country and blah blah blah ...
These are all wet fantasies, and attempts to engage in, I apologize in advance, but I can’t find another, more accurate description, “mental masturbation”

The problem is that people whose brain is struck by the propaganda of a terrorist country believe that if one politician jumped out and promised to cancel assistance to a country suffering from terrorist attacks, Russia. Well, in Russia, yes, the power is multipolized, and everyone, like sheep, follows the pipe of the main terrorist. But in the US and the rest of the normal world, things are different.
First, the Republicans' dreams of a "crushing victory" over the Democrats, as you see, an empty phrase. There is an advantage, but it is minimal!

Secondly. If those who groan for international terrorists and "their salvation" through the victory of the Republicans, taught history and expanded their knowledge, then they would know that there are a sufficient number of so-called "continuers of the Reagan cause" or "Reaganists" in the US Republican Party, i.e. supporters of the ideas and policies of Reagan. Guess who hammered a stake into the carcass of the prison of peoples and the bastard regime of the USSR? It is he and his supporters! And the attitude of today's terrorist country, Russia, is no different from the attitude to the crappy USSR!

Thirdly, the principles of decision-making in the Republican Party are based on the full support of this or that decision. Produced by polling all congressmen of the party. And if there is no 100% support, the Republicans do not influence the decision.
Oh yes, and most importantly, the right-wing radical supporters of the Trumpists are by no means the majority or even half of the Republican Party

Not only energy prices but also rendering financial aid to Ukraine to fight Russians.

Am sorry for the Ukrainian's what's coming is big, after the midterm election the Biden government will say, we are sorry our party lost some seats. The Republicans are blocking aid to Ukraine, so we can no longer send money but we stand with you to the end, end means till every single Ukrainian is dead.

Meanwhile, Ukraine predictably again receives big victories on the battlefield in the fight against the Russian invaders of its territory.

On November 9, information appeared that the invaders were leaving Kherson, the only regional center of Ukraine, which was occupied in the first days of the large-scale invasion of Russian troops in February this year, as well as the entire left-bank part of Ukraine. The head of the Russian Defense Ministry, Sergei Shoigu, gave the order to begin the withdrawal of Russian troops across the Dnieper River. Before his statement, Shoigu heard a report from the commander of the grouping of Russian troops, Sergei Surovikin. The general said that "Kherson and nearby settlements cannot be provided and function. The defense will be organized by the left bank of the Dnieper."

The occupiers are retreating, trying to maintain defense, randomly blowing up bridges to weaken the onslaught of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, but since huge masses of troops are retreating (according to various estimates, there are from 30 to 50 thousand Russian troops in Kherson alone), and there are few evacuation points across the Dnieper River, chaos and panic is very likely, and Ukraine will use this opportunity to inflict significant losses on the enemy with the inevitable accumulation of troops and equipment at broken crossings. The Russian troops do not have a stable multi-channel communication and control, the telephone connection in Kherson has been destroyed. Therefore, columns of troops will inevitably be concentrated in the places of crossings in anticipation of the queue. Attacks on these places will lead to panic and the abandonment of a large amount of military equipment.

Another big victory for Ukraine is planned, which has been preparing since July, when the Armed Forces of Ukraine began to cut off Russian troops from their supply routes with fuel, ammunition and even food with pinpoint strikes on bridges across the Dnieper. But Putin for a long time did not give the order to retreat, so as not to lose his reputation within the Russian Federation, which led to numerous losses of Russians - up to a thousand invaders daily.

Actually there are certain policies that don't really change in any country with the change in government, etc. In 2014 Obama was POTUS and he was pursuing pretty much the same proxy war with Russia as Trump did in his short years and what Biden is today. It will also be the same thing after Biden whether it is 2024 or 2028.

Very disappointing day for the GOP. Senate will be 51-49 in favor of the Democrats, and the House will be 224-211 in favor of the GOP. Republicans lost crucial senate races in Pennsylvania, Arizona and Nevada (last two yet to be confirmed). On top of that, Murkowski is likely to win the election in Alaska, which actually puts the senate 52-48 in favor of the Dems. For Ukrainians, there are reasons to rejoice. Trump openly said that there will be no "blank cheques" to Ukraine if he returns to power, and in general the Democratic party is seen as more sympathetic to Zelenskyy.

Are you watching the election?, the Republican party has definitely won in the House of Representatives, and in the Senate the race is still not over, the two sides are equal in the number of seats. It would be interesting if Republicans could have complete control of both. The Biden regime must end soon if we want a better world than it is now and I hope republicans can stop giving arms to Ukraine as some republican politicians have stated before.

There is only two possibilities.
1) They are lying about the source of components to blackmail the countries you listed and possibly to extort money, weapons, etc. out of them.
2) They are lying about the drone being Iranian made since as I explained the drones made in Iran don't use foreign components, definitely not in their electronics components. In which case Russia might have bought the technology and manufactured them inside Russia using bought/imported components.

You see any half decent super power's military manufactures these components domestically due to all the flaws and backdoors that can be introduced into the components or simply in case they stopped selling those components to the said country. In fact such flaws are one of the many reasons why US drones are regularly hacked by Iranians in West Asia. Like RQ-170 that was hacked and easily captured to be reverse engineered back in 2011.

Obviously Iran's military as one of the strongest and most advanced militaries has had the strategy to reduce the reliance on such exports to a minimum (the reason goes back to the 80's) and although I don't have access to classified information to know where each component is manufactured but I know for a fact that based on publicly available information at least these 2 components that you mentioned (camera and the engine) are 100% domestically built. Sairan, SAPA and HESA are the name of the organizations that work under the Ministry of Defense and manufacture these components and a lot more inside Iran to be used in drones, missiles, radars, air defenses, fighter jets, etc.

This fall, Russia is using at least two types of Iranian unmanned aerial vehicles in Ukraine – Shahed-136 kamikaze drones and Mohajer-6 multi-purpose UAVs.

Ukrainian intelligence estimates that the Iranian combat drone contains components from nearly 30 different technology companies based in North America, the EU, Japan, Taiwan and China.

In particular, in the module that aims the Mohajer-6 missile, a programmable Artix-7 chip from Xilinx, the parent structure of which is the transnational semiconductor company Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), headquartered in California, was found.

The role of the FPV camera, which allows you to control the flight of the Iranian drone in real time, is performed by the products of RunCam Technology Co from Hong Kong. The drone also has an Austrian engine and a Japanese camera. The laser rangefinder is made in China. Air bomb - Iranian production. But no Russian elements were found on the Iranian drones.

In addition, contrary to Iran's latest claims that the drones were sold to Russia before its full-scale invasion of Ukraine is refuted by the fact that Iranian drone parts were manufactured after such an invasion. So, it was found that the propeller of the Mohajer-6 drone was manufactured in February of this year. It's just done. And it also took time to deliver it to the Russian Federation.

Today is a very important day, as the midterm elections are ongoing in the United States. This means that from tomorrow onwards, the Biden regime has no reason to reign in on the energy prices. Already the Brent crude prices have surged to $98 per barrel, and it will be only a matter of time before they break the triple digit level. Withdrawals from SPR may come to an end, as the elections are over. And combined with the reduction in supply from Russia, for the medium term the crude oil prices can go up to anywhere from $120 to $200 per barrel.

Well many American journalists, analysts, politicians and even officials have already said that this is a war between Russia and NATO. Unless you are claiming that all of them are also Putin's propaganda!

The thing about excessive amount of propaganda is that at some point it starts contradicting itself.
At first they said Putin was not satisfied with these drones then they contradicted it by claiming he has placed a bigger purchase order!
Then they stuck to the new narrative that the drones are working but they are definitely Iranian then they contradicted it by saying that their components (gathered after they hit their targets and explode) are bought from companies located in Europe, China and US!

Those guys creating such propaganda should really keep a record of them to avoid embarrassment like this. The Iranian made drones, such as Shahed-136 are 100% domestically built from its engine down to its electronic parts. Not even a single pin is made outside of Iran.

It is Putin's propaganda that is now trying to convince the whole world, and above all its citizens, that Russia is now at war with the entire NATO bloc, and therefore peace should be negotiated not with Ukraine, but with the United States. This is because Ukraine has said that after such deliberate large-scale attacks on civilian infrastructure, they will not negotiate with the current Russian terrorist government, and therefore Putin has no chance of negotiating with Zelensky yet. In addition, Putin thus wants to explain to his citizens the military defeat in Ukraine, because they fought not only with Ukraine, but with all NATO countries. This is because Ukraine is provided by NATO countries with military, material and humanitarian assistance.

But then, with whom is Ukraine fighting now, if several thousand wagons of ammunition, hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles have already been sent from Belarus to Russia, and Belarus from the first day of the war provided Russia with its territory for missile attacks on Ukraine and the invasion of Russian troops. In addition, Russia buys kamikaze drones and ballistic missiles from Iran, and also transfers mercenaries from Syria to Ukraine.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy is not the one who can make the decision, it is the US who needs to negotiate with Putin at this time, but I don't think there's any reason for Biden to negotiate with Putin right now because they're the country that benefits the most from war. They are getting a rare opportunity to sink their opponents into the quagmire of war and economic collapse without spending any soldiers. They only need to provide weapons and equipment to fight to the last Ukrainians, not the Americans.

Ukraine and Russia suffered the most damage during the period between the wars economically. Because war does not always bring good things. Nothing can be improved in war except by destruction.Because during the war between Russia and Ukraine, these two countries are suffering huge economic losses in oil, gas, food. Europeans are far from economic. But after the end of the war, it will take a long time for the country to return to normal.

These war affected the energy trade between Russia and the world that is why there is a collapse and inflation also is at it's peak nowadays resulting to the economy dropping but if a country has the ability to find ways and has enough resources to fill this gap I think they have an excemption in this modern age of war.

Well, some media generally say that Russia is a great country But this is information clowning, humor, so to speak.
If they have EVIDENCE, and not the usual chatter like Russia about fighting mosquitoes and biological laboratories, then let them show them? What is the problem ? But I’ll say it right away - they won’t show it. Why ? Because it is quite difficult to make a fake, especially by Russian hand-assed "creators of scary stories." The chain or life cycle of weapons can be easily verified - serial numbers, markers, and many other control mechanisms allow you to simply and unambiguously identify where it was produced, where it was transferred, where it ended up. This is true about Western weapons. But Russia, historically, since the 60s of the last century, has been the ideologist and main "womb" and financier of international terrorism, this fact has already been proven 100,500 times. Russia officially, not officially, through third and spotted countries, supplies weapons to all terrorist groups and regimes. And now Russia's squealing about the fact that the weapons coming to Ukraine fell "into the wrong hands" sounds just pathetic. The main problem is completely different - the fake "second army of the world" rakes to the fullest from the Armed Forces of Ukraine, suffers the wildest losses, and is heading towards collapse. This is where the squeals from Russia come from, and from their pocket or corrupt media
And now try to refute or prove the opposite? Well, let's see another comedy show

Things are getting worse gradually and with time if this is not settle, this can lead to world war because everybody is trying to take advantage of this and Russia is no way ready to call for peace deal. I do not see any possible chance that this war is going to end soon but I still hope to see more positive move for the NATO to find fast solution to this war. The war is becoming a threat to the world economy and many countries that cant stand alone will severely be affected including Ukraine that has so much casualties.

The United States saw that Putin was preparing to attack Ukraine, but was in no hurry to help her with heavy weapons for protection, because, like other states, they believed that Ukraine had no chance against such a strong adversary as Russia. Ukraine was given a maximum of a week to resist and no more. Therefore, before such an attack, the United States provided Ukraine with only Stingers and Javelins, more to fight in guerrilla conditions after the Russian occupation. Putin was also confident in the rapid seizure of the territory of Ukraine. Therefore, he organized an attack on Ukraine from three sides, including the use of the territory of Belarus in order to simply stun her with his power. Thousands of tanks, armored personnel carriers and other heavy equipment, as well as almost 300,000 invaders, rushed to Ukraine after massive air and missile strikes along all routes.

But Ukraine has chosen the right tactics in these conditions. Considering that the attack front was more than three thousand kilometers, it was useless to organize resistance on the border. In this case, the Armed Forces of Ukraine would have been defeated in the very first days of the Russian invasion. Therefore, armored vehicles were allowed deep into the territory of Ukraine and, taking advantage of the inadequacy of the organization to provide the advancing Russian troops with fuel, ammunition and food, they blocked the roads and created a real hell for the occupiers. Within a few weeks, in order not to completely lose manpower and equipment, the Russians completely retreated from the central and northern parts of Ukraine with huge losses.

For all states, including Russia, it was a huge shock. Only after the United States and its allies saw that Ukraine could not only survive, but also inflict a military defeat on Russia, only months after the Russian invasion did they begin to help Ukraine with more powerful equipment, and then almost single copies.

The United States and NATO as a whole have been preparing for a military confrontation with Russia for decades and, frankly, they were afraid of Russia. And in this situation, the relatively small state of Ukraine, using the miscalculations of the military and political leadership of Russia, began to inflict a significant defeat on it. It has become profitable for the United States and NATO to support Ukraine in every possible way so that by proxy, if not destroy, then significantly weaken Russia economically and militarily. This explains their current assistance to Ukraine. Human values ​​also play an important role here: in the 21st century, Putin's Russia unleashed the largest war of conquest in the center of Europe, clearly acting as an aggressor and occupier. Therefore, uniting around Ukraine for civilized states meant defending universal human values ​​and preventing the onset of an era of chaos and the resumption of the right of the strong, for which there are no laws.

War is really bad, I wish Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Putin find the reasons to embrace peace for the sake of citizens who are facing series of difficulties caused by this lingering war.

In my opinion (I could be wrong), the Nord Stream was blown up by the British or the Americans (and possibly both).  

They took advantage of Russia's inadequate foreign policy.  Russia has lost its prestige in the international arena and no one believes the words of its representatives.  Under these conditions, gas pipelines can be blown up with the help of military divers with absolutely impunity (which, in my opinion, was done).  The Americans are Russia's direct competitors in the gas trade.  

Actually, this is a crazy situation!  A reputation as a reliable trading partner is an absolute must for any business.  Such a reputation is earned over the years.  Losing that reputation and customer confidence is a disaster.  

I was not surprised by the explosions of the Nord Stream, but they were very upset - a huge amount of investment (monetary and labor) was invested in the construction of these pipelines.

Although the death of people is always a more terrible catastrophe than the destruction of infrastructure.  The gas pipeline can be repaired, but no one can resurrect dead people.
