Copied free intro from Indian news:
US CONSIDERING SANCTIONS AGAINST INDIA
A top State Department official recently informed Congress that
Washington is considering sanctions against India over its
acquisition of Russian arms. The US is also pressuring India to
distance itself from Moscow in the present Ukraine situation.
Why Should India Fight NATO’s War?The West has bombarded India
with practically everything they have in the last month,
demanding that we participate in their war. But, Why should
India, of all countries, fight in NATO’s war. If a conflict
arose between China and India tomorrow, the West would want to
remain neutral. So why exactly shouldn't we share the same line
of thought? Why should India, of all countries,…

Why don't we describe the US as an oligarchy as well? There is
just as much, if not more, corruption and conflict of interest
in its .1% including politicians with worth's in the billions.

A contrary view.
HTML http://thesaker.is/how-russia-will-counterpunch-the-u-s-eu-declaration-of-war/
I like to get information on important topics from as many
different directions as I can handle.
Pepe Escobar is virulently anti-US. I believe he would describe
himself more as anti-imperialist, but he obviously hates the US.
This, of course, gives his view a slant in favor of whoever
fights America. So it's important to take that into account
when reading his work. He often writes on behalf of the "Global
South".
I'm afraid much of his take on the Ukraine war will prove to be
accurate. I can't envision the transition in Russia to be as
facile as he proposes - there will at least be scuffling among
the oligarchs. But he quotes some very influential (with Putin)
Russians who have a plan.
Sergey Naryshkin, the head of the SVR, succinctly described it:
“Masks have dropped. The West is not just trying to enclose
Russia with a new ‘Iron Curtain’. We are talking about attempts
to destroy our state – its ‘abolition’, as it is now customary
to say in the ‘tolerant’ liberal-fascist environment. Since the
United States and its allies have neither the opportunity nor
the spirit to try to do this in an open and honest
military-political confrontation, sneaky attempts are being made
to establish an economic, informational and humanitarian
“blockade”’.
Arguably the apex of Western hysteria is the onset of a 2022
Neo-Nazi Jihad: a 20,000-strong mercenary army being assembled
in Poland under CIA supervision. The bulk comes from private
military companies such as Blackwater/Academi and DynCorp. Their
cover: “return of Ukrainians from the French Foreign Legion.”
This Afghan remix comes straight from the only playbook the CIA
knows.
Back in reality, facts on the ground will eventually lead entire
economies in the West to become roadkill – with chaos in the
commodities sphere leading to skyrocketing energy and food
costs. As an example, up to 60% of German and 70% of Italian
manufacturing industries may be forced to shut down for good –
with catastrophic social consequences."
"Lethal counterpunches though are not excluded. Apart from
completely de-dollarizing – as Glaviev recommends – Russia may
ban the export of titanium, rare earth, nuclear fuel and,
already in effect, rocket engines.
Very toxic moves would include seizing all foreign assets of
hostile nations; freeze all loan repayments to Western banks and
place the funds in a frozen account in a Russian bank;
completely ban all hostile foreign media, foreign media
ownership, assorted NGOs and CIA fronts; and supply friendly
nations with state of the art weapons, intel sharing and joint
training and exercises.
What’s certain is that a new architecture of payment systems –
as discussed by Michael Hudson and others – uniting the Russian
SPFS and the Chinese CHIPS, may soon be offered to scores of
nations across Eurasia and the Global South – several among them
already under sanctions, such as Iran, Venezuela, Cuba,
Nicaragua, Bolivia, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, the DPRK.
Slowly but surely, we are already on the way to the emergence of
a sizeable Global South bloc immune to American financial
warfare."

I have had many discussions with Pepe over the years. His main
problem is he is far too optimistic about the outcomes for China
& Russia, which are just as bad.

The Ferguson Report: Russian oligarchs endure war, sanctions and

Fake news you can trust.
I like this. So much information in so few words.
Its too close to reality to be actual satire.

The Ferguson Report: Russian oligarchs endure war, sanctions and
missing out on Hitler’s car
MILLENNIAL CLAIMS IMPENDING NUCLEAR WAR ‘MAKES ME FEEL
UNCOMFORTABLE’
“Nuclear war is a construct,” said a Millennial during a lecture
on architectural constructs.
Another student said, “I get triggered by the nuclear trigger.”
Lecturers stopped mentioning the risk of nuclear war for fear of
losing their jobs.
An inactivist said: “Tweeting about nuclear war has eaten into
my time correcting people’s pronouns.
“My days are now consumed by correcting pronunciations of
‘Kyiv’. Oops, I mean ‘Kyiv’ … Dammit. One last try … ‘Kyiv’… No,
wait …”
From now on, vegans promise to call ‘Chicken Kiev’ ‘Chicken
Kyiv’ before refusing to eat it.
Activists are modifying their protest signs:
Defund Preparations For The Apocalypse!
Vaporised Lives Matter!
The Cloud Is A Mushroom!
NOT Okay Boomer
RUSSIAN OLIGARCHS ALMOST AS BAD AS EVERYONE ELSE’S
The United States, UK and Australia have imposed sanctions on
several hundred Russian oligarchs.
Russian oligarchs are like Australian oligarchs but even more
drunk.
A Russian oligarch said, “the sanctions are a terrible blow,
like when we recently lost the bidding war on Hitler’s car.”
KHAKI CAR KEY KEYS CAR ELECTION
Prime Minister Scott Morrison has declared Australia needs more
submarines to make travel easier during the floods.
Morrison refused to confirm an election. “It’s just the way his
trousers hang,” said a spokesman.
NO COMMENTS ON NO COMMENTS
The Prime Minister’s office banned media filming during his
visit to northern New South Wales.
A spokesman explained. “We banned media out of respect for the
privacy of those who came to shout abuse.”
Out of respect for all Australians, the media will henceforth be
banned from all Morrison’s events.
A political philosopher asked: “When a prime minister declares a
national flood emergency with no cameras around, does he make a
noise?”
No, he doesn’t.
ARMAGEDDON EVEN MORE IMMINENT THAN USUAL
American megachurches claim Russia’s recent actions signal the
end of the world.
Thankfully, they’re still accepting donations.
US Preacher Pat Robertson suggested Russian President Vladimir
Putin’s attack on Ukraine, wreaking havoc, death and tragedy,
was “compelled by God” to fulfil the Armageddon prophecy.
A spokesman for God said – “That’s bulltwang. God is love, not
war.”
He added: “So send money now.”
