Italy should resume purchases of Russian gas after the end of the conflict in Ukraine, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Infrastructure and Transport Matteo Salvini said in an interview with IS Vesti and TASS. "When the conflict ends, of course, yes; The numbers speak for themselves. Just look at the current costs, as well as the costs of two-, three-, four- or five years ago," he said. The Deputy Prime Minister advocated a diplomatic settlement of the conflict and negotiations instead of arms supplies. After its completion, according to Salvini, Italy should restore economic, trade and cultural ties with Russia.

I Told You So.

Russia breaking the blockade around North Korea will accelerate the process. Already did. 

Under Kim Jong-un, North Korea is experiencing a "boom" – new shopping centers, resorts, and stores are opening across the country, and the authorities are encouraging consumption, according to Reuters. Over the past decade, imports of massage equipment from China have increased 40-fold, while supplies of treadmills have increased by more than 600%. The country is also importing pianos and amusement park rides with bumper cars. According to Reuters, this consumer boom is affecting shopping centers, beach resorts, and ski resorts throughout North Korea.

Forestalling possible objections from people who love Juche ideas from afar--there is nothing wrong with consumption when it is in moderation. There is nothing wrong in cappuccinos, decent cars or air conditioners, same goes for nice clothes and the choice of meats. For the country which survived horrors of famine in 2000s this is not only good, it is healthy. Now that Russia broke the blockade things accelerate dramatically. Good for N. Koreans, long time coming. 

Ian Proud and Yours Truly ...

Donald Trump arranged the sunset and sunrise for the next 24 hours. His powers are amazing. 

US President Donald Trump has claimed to have brokered a deal whereby both Russia and Ukraine will refrain from targeting each other’s diesel-related infrastructure. Trump, who demanded that Vladimir Zelensky stop targeting Russia’s diesel production facilities, claimed in a Truth Social media post that the fuel’s price spike was related to the Ukraine conflict and not the Middle East.

Somebody has to tell him that 404 will cease to exist as economic entity completely. Russia can take and mitigate 404 attacks on energy infrastructure, 404 and EU cannot. The political objective of Russia is not just 404--404 is merely a dumb tool--main objective is to remove Europe as any threat to Russia. This political objective is being achieved as I type this. Russia is doing it not to "save Europe" as some Europeans ask, but to disinfect European population, majority of who hate Russian guts, from any desire to even look aggressively to the East. They need to fear 24/7. Final destruction of 404 is one of the methods. 

Russia Is Reviving ...

 ... a number of military officer schools (academies) such as Chelyabinsk Higher Command Tank School. This is for those who predicted the death of tanks as weapon system. Amateurs. You CAN NOT prepare cadre officer through ROTC anymore. Mike Mihajlovich asked the question some time ago. It has been answered already--military generalists, the type prepared in the US and EU--are not adequate for modern battlefield. 

Yes, "Anti-Europe".

Interesting event. 

On September 17th, the Litfond foundation will hold an auction featuring the first printed biography of Ivan the Terrible. The book is by the Lutheran pastor Paul Oederborn, published in Görlitz in 1588. This is the first biography of the Russian monarch in European printing; the next Russian Tsar, Peter I, would not be the subject of a separate book in the West for another century. However, the work is considered not a biography, but a political pamphlet – the culmination of a propaganda campaign against the Moscow Tsardom after the Livonian War. It is classified as part of the "Ivanian" movement, within which the image of Russia was shaped as "Anti-Europe."

Here it is.

Nothing is new under the sun. And yes, today Russia is "Anti-Europe", because what Europe is today has no right to exist. A playground of satanists, pedophiles, war criminals and nutjobs.
