This one is hilarious!

What else is hilarious is the use of T55 and T62 antique tanks. Clearly, Russia is running out of newer tanks.

The Russian economic collapse is becoming more evident with the collapse of QIWI Bank with HO in Moscow.

Russia is losing this war and 100s of 1000s of men, 1000s of tanks and other equipment.

Baldrick,

If you use Cui Bono or Occam's razor in both cases the needle points clearly to Putin as the main beneficiary with the greatest motive and opportunity in the murder of Navalny.

Among the 500 new sanctions on Russia most of which focus on secondary sanctions include the shipyards in South Korea and Japan which were about to deliver 4x LNG carriers which now won't go to Russia and also can't refund the deposits.

Most Banks worldwide are cutting ties with Russia and the heavy fines are reducing the ships prepared to transport Russian oil.

No sanctions will be removed while Russia occupies Ukrainian land.

Russia is losing this war.

- Only for idiots like you who already have a western ignorance based bias and think the west never do anything wrong, but everything Russia and Putin do is bad.
- If that's what you think then I've got some WMD's I can sell you, fool.
- Navalny died of a blood clot, so the 'official' report says, and they released the body.

Like I said weeks ago, probably had too many COVID booster shots.
- And that's why I'm proudly unvaxxed.

Quote:

"The threat of secondary sanctions on financial institutions that help Russia bypass its own restrictions is proving effective, the US deputy treasury secretary, Wally Adeyemo, has told Reuters.

Data cited by the Treasury shows financial flows between Russia and several countries, such as Kazakhstan, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates, have meaningfully decreased.

That's after an executive order was signed last December, giving the US leeway to sanction non-Russian institutions that facilitate restricted transactions with Moscow or are tied to the country's military industry.

"We are sending an unmistakable message: Anyone supporting Russia's unlawful war effort is at risk of losing access to the US financial system," the national security advisor, Jake Sullivan, then said about the order.

Adeyemo said at-risk institutions had since turned more cautious, and some had shown concern about losing access to the US dollar. The currency accounts for nearly half of global financial transactions.

"From their CEOs on down, they started requesting meetings with us to say, 'What can we do to make sure that we keep access to the dollar,'" he told Reuters, adding that large banks were also part of the discussion: "Because ultimately for them, even though they may do some business with Russia, it pales in comparison to the amount of business they do with the United States or the business they do in the dollar."

Russia is going bankrupt and is losing this war.

OOPS, another 2 Su34s shot down over Avdiivka.

Baldrick,

Concerning Cui Bono or Occam's razor, you have not indicated any Cui Bono for the West as there is no benefit to the EU or US from his murder and the opportunity was zero as his only visitor before his death was his mother.

As for the release of his body, it was only after a week from when he was murdered and no independent autopsy was allowed. As for the bogus cause of death, no one believes it.

"The Ukrainian air force claimed it has shot down 10 Russian warplanes in 10 days: nine of the Russian air force’s best Sukhoi Su-34 and Sukhoi Su-35 fighter-bombers and also a rare Beriev A-50 radar plane.

This is many, many more warplanes than the Russians can afford to lose in a little more than a week. Hamstrung by foreign sanctions, the Russian aerospace industry is struggling to produce more than a couple of dozen new warplanes a year.

All that is to say, the Russians are losing jets 20 times faster than they can replace them.

The Ukrainian defence ministry announced this month’s ninth and tenth shoot-downs—both involving Su-34s—on Tuesday. “Oops, we did it again!” the ministry quipped. “And now it's 10 destroyed Russian planes in 10 days!”

How the Ukrainians are shooting down so many jets is unclear. It’s possible the Ukrainian air force has assigned some of its American-made Patriot missile launchers to mobile air defence groups that move quickly in close proximity to the 600-mile front line of Russia’s two-year wider war on Ukraine, ambushing Russian jets with 90-mile-range PAC-2 missiles then swiftly relocating to avoid counterattack."

Russia is losing this war
