Russia’s $118 Billion Arctic Oil Bet Pushes Ahead Despite Sanctions.

And then lamentations start.

For the Kremlin, the giant Vostok Oil project in the frigid Far North is crucial to two goals: bolstering Russia’s presence in the Arctic and keeping production of the key export commodity going as reserves in more accessible parts of the country are depleted.

It’s also a case study of how a huge, state-run corporation like Rosneft -- headed by Igor Sechin, a longtime ally of President Vladimir Putin -- goes about putting such an enterprise in place amid increasingly tight Western sanctions over Russia’s war on Ukraine, an RFE/RL investigation indicates.

A web of contractors, suppliers, and others with links to the 10-trillion-ruble ($118 billion) project includes a billionaire Sechin associate, several companies connected to Rosneft, and the father of Putin’s purported partner, Alina Kabayeva, Systema, RFE/RL’s Russian investigative unit, discovered in conjunction with Arctida, an NGO focusing on the Russian Arctic.

Pay attention to who "investigates" and comments on that. Right, Radio Free Europe herpes which pretends that they "investigate", while in reality is a propaganda units of MI6 and CIA. They cope, hard, and they cannot take the fact that Europe is getting poorer and poorer, while Russia is getting richer and richer and that all those grandiose statements about "countering" Russia in Arctic are just that--a hot air from people who can only dream about Russia's Arctic Capabilities. So, they suffer. Let them. 

Open Thread.

Busy. Go at it. 

Pentagon and Brussels ...

 ... should invite (ah, wait, they already did) 404 animals to "teach" them how to fight Russkies. Here is a motivational procedure which in VSU, trained by US and other amateur NATO "advisers", is very popular and wide-spread all over VSU. 

The course of urine therapy. You ask for water, while refusing to die (any storm against Russians is a guaranteed death) well--that's a no-no in the army of thugs admired from Pentagon to Langley, to London and Brussels--your company urinates into the bucket and voila'. Hey, urine is a water of sorts. So, this element should be included into the combat training manuals all over NATO. Should I have my way, I would also introduce this procedure (each morning) for editorial boards of such esteemed organizations as BBC, The Financial Times, New York Times and CNN with FOX news. Toe the line, ass-holes, toe the line. 

It Was A First ...

... smaller attempt by NATO criminals at what later became a classic scheme, tried at Russia (and Iran). The use of disgruntled ethnic minority for breaking up the remnants of Yugoslavia. Albanians were a willing tool. Serbia was surrounded. Serbia had and still has a wide network of NATO operatives with financing ranging from intel orgs to Soros Fund. This is too little, too late. The ugly witch who pushed for this gang rape of a small country of Serbia croaked. But Bill Clinton is alive so is psychotic four star Clark--they should be behind bars. So, this ...

Violent protests have erupted in Serbia’s breakaway region of Kosovo and abroad after a Hague-based special tribunal convicted former politician and paramilitary commander Hashim Thaci of war crimes. In its ruling on Wednesday, the tribunal sentenced Thaci, a commander of the ethnic Albanian Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), to 25 years in prison for the murder of 96 people and the torture of around 300 others during the group’s fight for the region’s independence from Serbia in the late 1990s.

... changes very little. Combined West loves war criminals, terrorists and wars where nobody shoots back--cowardice is a defining feature of NATO. The only thing they are good at is subversion accompanied by the utterly false narratives. The fight is metaphysical--it is catholic-protestant and satanist oligarchy against Orthodox faith. Serbia was a trial run. They shat their pants from the thought about possibility of facing Yugoslav Army in the Balkan mountains. They had an army of operatives and traitors in Russia who under Yeltsin's drunk rule did all to please their masters and sold Yugoslavia to NATO. 

They didn't get their 30 pieces of silver, they started something which none of them, including the arrogant bosses from Washington, could foresee. Yevgeniy Primakov's plane on the way to D.C. 180 degrees over Atlantic with the commencement of NATO's atrocity against Yugoslavia on March 24, 1999 was the start of a process we observe today--a historic defeat of the combined West, headed by the United States and its exposure as a paper tiger. I remember the anti-Serbian hysteria of pedophiliac and perverted French media and their so called "intellectuals" that time. Everybody knows about the role of Vatican and German Catholic minority played both in the disintegration of Yugoslavia and the rape of Serbia. What followed after is for Serbs to sort out. So, throwing Thaci into jail is not a consolation. It is a pathetic attempt by Europe to cover its ugly ass which also serves as Europe's ugly face.  

They Say The Second ...

 ... F-15 was shot down. Here are some visuals ... I don't know which--the first or the second. 

Yes, those air-defense sandals. 

Mopping Up ...

 ... Volchansk Cauldron with Azov Nazis in it--darlings of Europeans and Washington. 

Some of them try to escape with stories that they are not really combatants. Not gonna help--all of them will be exterminated. Here are some visuals from there (in Russian--Russian storm troopers explain) with FABs raining on positions of those animals. 

Hiding in forest strips is not going to help. All will be wiped out. 

To Those Who Still ...

 ... cannot grasp the scope of what is happening (in Russian). 

Gist: military psychologist about Kursk, how nothing could prepare to what Russian Army saw there. In one of the houses children have been executed and VSU wrote on the wall with the blood of those children: "this is how all Russian children will look like". I disagree with her on one point, SMO long ago stopped being just ideological, it is metaphysical now--it is good against evil. Modern West is evil. This cannot be denied anymore. 

Meanwhile, taking out rolling stock continues. Locomotives are burning. This one is on Kiev-Nikolaev route. 

The US servicemen debunk Hegseth's BS about US evicted from  the Middle East. 

"These are not 'squirters' getting through," the service member added, referencing language used by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth after the deadly March 1 attack on Port of Shuaiba in Kuwait that killed six U.S. troops. "We're not defending these bases. We're just watching them get destroyed."

Here is the problem--Hegseth wouldn't be allowed to command squad in Russian Army. He is a humanities dumbed down ROTC product who has no clue. But then again, Pentagon never had one. France begins now to experience some shortages with fuel at gas stations. It will spread.
