First up, the guys at The Duran had a rather amusing 27 minute video discussion, the main theme of which is basically the way Putin has run circles around the midgets of the collective West. I’ve transcribed the first 5 minutes or so, but they go on to talk at greater length about the dilemma the West—and especially Europe—finds itself in. They’re coming to the realization that they need Russia, but Russia may not need them. Anyway:
Putin wants to castrate UK, France, and Germany. The main European instigators of the Ukraine War.
So Putin has no interest in stopping the economic warfare, and is going to continue his efforts to reduce Russia’s economic ties with the West. The economic warfare is actually helping Putin to remake Russias economy and society.
I would not be surprised if Putin makes some efforts on increasing the Russian Birthrate, perhaps similar to Hungary.
Excellent point. There are several countries currently part of the CFA that would probably be very good candidates for BRICS--maturing out of their colonial days.
Only possible escape option for the West with saving face is a military coup in Ukraine, with the ex government becoming scapegoats.

Sunak, Macron and Scholz don't have anything to castrate.
Macron, if others follow Niger out of the CFA, is going to find he’s very, very short on cash at hand, very quickly.

Difficult to understand why defensive measures weren't active?

Following a drone attack at a military airfield, emergency services reported that four Il-76 aircraft in Pskov have been damaged and likely destroyed.

That is a great loss!😭 😱😱
Hearing over on X, formerly Twitter speculation that the attack was staged from Estonia. That could be problematic, if proven.
