100 million is also going to the Balkins to deter Russian aggression.
Fund the audits, spread the word and educate people, write your politicians and other elected officials. Stay active in the fight to save our country. Over 220 generals and admirals say we are in a fight for our survival like no other time since 1776.

Meanwhile --the pressure mounts on ordinary Russians --  people it seems that Moby never meets !! :deadhorse:


70 Percent of Russians Now Can’t Make Their Income Last from One Paycheck to the Next


Seventy percent of Russians say that their pay doesn’t last from one paycheck to the next, 63 percent say they are experiencing the inflation the authorities deny is happening, and 70 percent are at or near the poverty level (newsland.com/community/129/content/70-protsentam-rossiian-ne-khvataet-deneg-do-zarplaty/6002765, newsland.com/community/8171/content/fom-rost-tsen-za-poslednie-mesiatsy-zametili-63-zhitelei-rossii/6004342 and politsturm.com/70-rossiyan-zhivut-u-cherty-bednosti/).Russia, wallet, rubles, income, poverty, economy, poor (Image: AiF)

Forty percent of Russians say they had to change their vacation plans because of a lack of funds (regnum.ru/news/omy/2324354.html),
Officials blocked 12,000 Russians from going abroad this summer because they had unpaid debts (iz.ru/646710/tatiana-berseneva/pogranichniki-ne-vypustili-iz-rossii-pochti-12-tysiach-dolzhnikov),

Wage arrears and protests over them are both increasing across the country
(lenta.ru/news/2017/09/22/miners/, idelreal.org/a/28737681.html and graniru.org/Politics/Russia/activism/m.264081.html),

To add insult to injury, the Russian government has cut pensions even as experts say the average Russian pension is 30 percent smaller than the official statistics suggest


 (lenta.ru/news/2017/09/20/cut/ and newsland.com/community/4765/content/sredniaia-pensiia-rossiian-okazalas-na-30-menshe-ofitsialnoi/6001935), and
The government has rejected out of hand proposals that the government share with Russians some of the money it gets from the sale of oil and other natural resources abroad

 (ura.news/news/1052305240).

The statistical results of the Kremlins  intent to make Russia a pariah state are impacting internally now to a savage degree.Now is the time for the west to step up the economic pressure on Russia --to make it clear that the west will pay the price of the sanctions-- and that Russia simply cant afford it's military invasion of Ukraine.


Russian Banking System on Brink of Collapse


The Russian banking system is on the brink of collapse according to Russian officials, commentators, and the population
(newsland.com/community/4765/content/v-tsb-rf-vidiat-budushchee-ekonomiki-rossii-v-chernom-tsvete/6001947, kp.ru/daily/26735.7/3761645/ and regnum.ru/news/omy/2323031.html).+

Russians not only are losing confidence in banks but purchasing dollars in order to protect themselves in case of a banking collapse (profile.ru/obsch/item/119648-sberezheniya and lenta.ru/news/2017/09/19/usddemand/).



Two-thirds of Russians now say that the country’s economic course should be changed
(newsland.com/community/4788/content/dve-treti-rossiian-vyskazalis-za-smenu-ekonomicheskogo-kursa/6001418),

But half of all Russians say they doubt the state can do anything positive to help overcome the crisis (newsland.com/community/5862/content/50-rossiian-ne-vidiat-smysla-v-ekonomicheskikh-deistviiakh-gosudarstva/6004472),
"Topol ICBMs are not afraid of the [Western] sanctions!" and "Sanctions? Don't make laugh my Iskander missiles!" - Moscow propaganda t-shirts said in 2014. (Image: social media)
“A Topol ICBM is not afraid of the [Western] sanctions!” and “Sanctions? Don’t make my Iskander missiles laugh!” – Moscow propaganda t-shirts said in 2014 after the sanctions were introduced. (Image: social media)

The UN says that Russia has lost some 55 billion US dollars in income because of the post-Crimea sanctions (newsland.com/community/4852/content/oon-rossiia-poteriala-iz-za-sanktsii-55-mlrd/5998494),

Capital flight has intensified (zavtra.ru/word_of_day/napyorstochniki_2017-09-12),

The quantity of imports has fallen to a record low (iz.ru/647722/anna-ivushkina/importozameshchenie-obnovilo-rekord),

The number of cars sold in Russia has fallen by more than half since 2012 (business-gazeta.ru/article/358405), and

Demand for new construction in Moscow has fallen as well (rbc.ru/business/19/09/2017/59bfc9d69a7947e9b2e0a92d?from=main).

Since Russia is in such a bad state . . . what has happened to the price of buying a Russian wife?
Will there be bargains to be had soon?

Remind us again, JayH ... WHICH one of us sees reality - not your copy and pastes - some of which are from UKRAINE ! ?


I have no doubt folks are finding it hard and that Russia - like most states has a Pension funding crisis - You get a state pension far earlier in Russia than in the west... and the Pension is better in real terms than in Ukraine.

The topic is 'more bad news for Russia' and more often than not Ukrainian sources are quoted ...  even in JayH's latest post ..

The poor state of the economy is due to mismanagement, greed and corruption- exacerbated by oil / gas price falls and Crimea was a stunt to deflect from this... The sanctions by the west  have targeted players and their businesses - not man in the street - and have been countered by protectionism stunts in the food  industry

As we move into a bullish market for Oil, I believe that the Russian economy will get a huge boost.  Once again, the true winners are the Chinese.  As they have committed the Russians to selling them oil at discounted rates in exchange for bailing out their economy in the past three years.

After the fall of communism, the biggest mistake Boris Yeltsin's regime made was not to disband the KGB altogether. Instead it changed its name to the FSB and, to many observers, morphed into a gangster organisation, eventually headed by master criminal Vladimir Putin. - Gerard Batten

No idea, I looked at your profile now and it is UNchecked. Maybe you forgot to press "Change profile" at bottom, so the change was NOT put into effect.

The line below was added with WYSIWYG turned on:
[size=78%]Also no idea why the "Preview" should not work for you[/size] ::) [/size][size=78%].[/size]

You can see the weird SIZE parameters that WYSIWYG inserts, as in your previous:

That is the reason why we recommend to turn it OFF. I guess your problem - except for "Preview" - was forgetting to make it stick ;).

In a classical example of Russian suggestions that “everything new is the well-forgotten old,” Nakanune commentator Elena Kiryakova suggests that the challenges Russia faces now echo the threats it encountered a century ago, but with one essential difference.

The notorious xenophobic and anti-Semitic Black Hundreds of the late imperial period have returned in force, she says; but the centrist and leftist forces that opposed them a century ago have not, thus opening the way to a truly horrific future unless something is done and done soon.

She cites with approval the conclusions of Russian historian Aleksandr Kolpakidi


The Black Hundreds of 1917 have returned to Russia


Russia now faces “the very same threats and internal contradictions which the empire encountered on the eve of the October Revolution” but lacks any “’heirs of the Bolsheviks’” and so is drifting toward the extreme right, something that will provoke an explosion.

Russian President Vladimir Putin is far from reforming and is leading not only himself, but the whole of Russia to destruction.

This opinion was expressed by the famous Russian political scientist Stanislav Belkovsky on the air of the radio station Ekho Moskvy .

Putin  is leading not only himself, but the whole of Russia to destruction.


"Vladimir Vladimirovich simply went to the stage of self-destruction, he destroys the system that brought him up, but the KGB, the Cheka and the FSB, which he no longer exists in his mind, destroys the Russian Federation." He turned it off from the Western funding on which the Russian Federation was built. He turned it off from Western technologies, which are an immanent condition for the existence of the Russian Federation, because without this modern technology this country can not exist
