I Probably Shouldn't Tell You About the Next Shortages

Poster Comment:114 drug shortages in US. Diesel being rationed in Europe. Limited supply of fertilizers and herbicides. Natural gas going straight up in Europe. LME imposes a 15% limit up per day on metals. We are facing Hyperinflationary input prices. Eggs are scarce and pricey in Taiwan. (Bird flu?) Biden should have imposed war time emergency powers to get fertilizer production up. I think we should get away from GMO food. Inputs are heavy and expensive.
Four Signs That A US-Gulf 'Divorce' Is In The Making

The rapid-fire 'messages' directed at Washington from old Persian Gulf allies are brutal, and strongly suggest that the days of US hegemony are done. If any good has come out of the Ukraine war for the Arab world, it is the diminished status and influence of the US in West Asia. Washington is losing many of its traditional allies in the region, especially in the Persian Gulf, and this trend looks like it will accelerate. Four recent developments illustrate this. First, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's visit to the UAE on Friday. The warm welcome laid on for him by its leaders was a slap in the face of the US administration, its strongly stated objections to the visit, and ...

Authored by Fortis Analysis via Human Terrain, Earlier this year, Fortis Analysis released details on the proposal by Fufeng Group, a CCP-connected company, to build a wet corn mill and amino acid production facility in Grand Forks, ND. In conducting further research, interviewing local residents, and working with recognized experts in national security and United States trade law, it is more and more clear that the Grand Forks city council and mayor Brandon Bochenski are both economically and constitutionally illiterate. A single line of inquiry into this project is impossible, so we will work to highlight a range of domains where this project falls short of both good sense and the law ...
Covert Work on Deadly Pathogens: How US Military Biolabs Infiltrated Ukraine

As the Russian Ministry of Defense revealed new information about the elusive US-funded biolabs it had discovered in eastern Ukraine amid its special operation in the nation, “bombshell” quality to the news was lent by the fact that a company linked to the high-risk biological research was founded by Hunter Biden, son of the US President Joe Biden. A $2.1 billion-dollar operation exploring some of the deadliest viruses in at least 30 laboratories – under the patronage of the Pentagon and three private companies: this is the US’s illusive bio labs program. Operating in 25 states, it employs civilians who have no accountability before Congress and can bypass the law due ...

Morgan Strategic Research (these are the guys who actually have some good ideas, and are not propaganda broken records who only purpose is to get retail investors to buy whatever their prop traders have to sell) hosted a webinar featuring leading experts from the "think tank" community, who previously served in US and European policymaking positions, to discuss the possible scenarios that could play out from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine (replay link here). Speakers concurred that the war could be protracted with the possibility of further sanctions, led by the US, although a ban on oil and gas exports from Russia is unlikely to materialize given ...

"...I think the number one lesson is: 'Hey, this could really happen.'" Poster Comment:The US cannot boycott China. Our trade deficit in physical goods is $107.6 billion a month. We cannot replace all those goods. And we cannot finance that huge deficit without the help of China which is running a surplus. In short we cannot run deficits without the permission of China and Russia even if we want to wage a war.

A million small businesses went bankrupt. We are just now feeling the inflation of the currency that had already benefited Wall Street.

More Evidence That The US Is Trying To Prolong This War

The Washington Post has a new article out bemoaning the fact that Russian military commanders are declining calls from the Pentagon to discuss their operations in Ukraine (I dunno guys, might have something to do with the fact that the US is sharing extensive military intelligence on exactly those operations directly with the Ukrainian government). Tucked all the way down in the eighteenth paragraph of the article, we find a much more interesting revelation: that Washington’s top diplomat has made no attempt to contact his counterpart in Moscow since the war began on the 24th of February. “Secretary of State Antony Blinken has not attempted any conversations with his ...

Gen. Mark Milley, the Pentagon swamp creature who brought us the Afghanistan pullout and turned the U.S. military focus to "white rage," doesn't seem to be able to get Russia's generals, now bombing Ukraine, to return his phone calls. According to the Washington Post: Repeated attempts by the United States' top defense and military leaders to speak with their Russian counterparts have been rejected by Moscow for the last month, leaving the world's two largest nuclear powers in the dark about explanations for military movements and raising fears of a major miscalculation or battlefield accident. Since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Defense Secretary Lloyd ...

Publishes Absurd Satirical Poems Written by Right-Wingers One of which claimed first Irish people were black. By Paul Joseph Watson A prestigious poetry journal in Ireland was tricked into publishing absurdly ‘woke’ but deliberately awful poems written by right-wingers which satirically claimed the first Irish people were black. Yes, really. Icarus Magazine, considered to be Trinity College Dublin’s most respected poetry journal, was duped into publishing the fake poems after the college’s student union president-elect Ms Gabi Fullam, an anti-racism activist, appeared to be a little too keen to display her politically correct credentials.

Weeks after China's foreign minister cautioned the US against trying to form a "Pacific NATO" - a veiled reference to the growing national security orientation of "the Quad" (a security and economic cooperation alliance involving the US, Australia, India and Japan) - Beijing has reportedly reached a deal with the Solomon Islands to station Chinese military and police personnel on the island, dramatically altering the balance of military power in the Pacific, and potentially re-orienting the small island nation toward Beijing, and away from Washington and Canberra.

Visualizing The EU's Energy Dependency

In response to Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine, the U.S. and EU have imposed heavy sanctions aimed at crippling the Russian economy. However, as Visual Capitalist's Marcus Lu details below, these bold actions also come with some potentially messy complications: Russia is not only one of the world’s largest exporters of energy products, but it is also Europe’s biggest supplier of these fuels. As of October 2021, Russia supplied 25% of all oil imported by the EU, which is three times more than the second-largest trade partner. Naturally, the policies and circumstances that have led to this dependency have been under major scrutiny in recent weeks. Energy ...

Unfortunately, the sanctions the US put on Russia do not appear to be harming Russia at all, even as they are furthering the destruction of the economy of the West, and setting the stage for a collapse of the dollar as reserve currency. Russia has just announced that if Europe wants its oil, they’re going to have to pay in rubles. This will heavily reinforce the ruble, of course. Presumably, it will make up for most or all of the damage that the sanctions have caused. RT: Russia will now accept payment for gas exports to “unfriendly countries” in rubles only, President Vladimir Putin said at a meeting with the government on Wednesday. The president explained that ...
