Topic: The impact of Russian and Ukrain war on world economy - page 34. (Read 13382 times)

I believe that it is advisable for Republicans not to quarrel, but to nominate a single presidential candidate from their party.  

And Elon Musk could be such a candidate.  Now humanity needs new goals and ideas.  Sleepy Biden is not able to inspire people to new achievements.  Elon Musk is able to set new tasks for Mankind.  People can master Mars, reformat social society, improve the Earth and achieve personal immortality.

In 2000, the new millennium began....

And politicians are still trying to play the games of the last millennium, but they have long lost their relevance.

You should pay more attention to the ongoing civil war within the GOP, rather than focusing on the election results. Although the Republicans don't want to admit it, they had a horrible election. And many of the senior leaders (correctly) pointed out that Trump was responsible for it. He pushed extreme candidates in swing states and lost elections which would have otherwise been won by the GOP candidates. Trump on the other hand went on a spree of personal attacks against anyone who pointed this out, including Glenn Youngkin and Ron DeSantis.

I do not think that luck is on the side of Russia, because I believe that only kindness and adequate behavior can attract good luck.

In the 1990s, Russia experienced many disasters, but at the beginning of the new millennium, Russia was very lucky - oil and gas prices rose.  Such an unexpected gift should have been accepted with gratitude and all the money should have been invested in the development of their country and the improvement of trade and cultural ties with other countries.  Instead, Russia fell into the sin of pride and became carried away by foreign policy adventures. 

Therefore, it seems to me that the limit of happiness and good luck for the country has been exhausted. 

People should change their minds and reconsider their views, then luck will smile at them again.

The hopes of the pro-Russian forces have broken off, however, as always

"The Republican Party reacted to the retreat of Russian troops from Kherson and called on US President Joe Biden to provide Ukraine with more weapons, including long-range ATACMS missiles."

“The Russian retreat will confirm what I and many of my colleagues have been stressing for months: with the right weapons, Ukraine can defeat the invading Russian forces and further expose the absurdity of Putin’s attempt to “annex” Kherson and three other regions of Ukraine. McCall said.

A senior member of the armed services committees, Rep. Mike Rogers of Alabama, also spoke out in support of giving Ukraine more and better weapons, including ATACM.

Congratulations to all on the past elections in the USA


PS "so he maybe able to convince some of the fringe GOP members to vote for him." - well, you just gained experience from Russian propagandists

In fact, there are many "Reaganists" in the Republican Party who are definitely not marginal, definitely adequate, and will definitely make every effort to destroy the terrorist's country!

Mate, no one supports terrorism or war, it doesn't benefit you or all of us. What we are saying is just what we see and what you are saying is due to what you see. As you can see, why does a country always have 2 parties and they always dislike each other. Argue in a fun and peaceful way, without using provocative words.


Thanks for the update, I haven't been able to follow the election closely but from what I've read there are no final results yet. Although it did not create a "red wave", this was considered a successful step when the Republicans regained the House of Representatives. Personally, I don't like Biden's leadership, I like the hawkish Republican policies.

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.
