Now, that's kinda funny. The thing that BRICS is all about is changing the amount of money NOT used in BRICS. They are the up-and-coming new world currency option. The reason why people and countries will change over to them is that they are more honest than the Western banking systems. It doesn't happen in a day. Consider that even 20 years ago the USD was far weaker than it is today. But, now it is collapsing. BRICS and BRICS nations are helping it to collapse.

You just gotta play around with things other than the war. And, that's understandable. You don't want the people of the forum to know just how much Ukraine and its military are collapsing... just like the USD as the world currency.

Don't get me wrong. The USD is part of the strength of the US, and the West. But it was built on bad and false principles. It has been stealing from Americans and the world for a long time. Presently Americans automatically get benefits from this stealing from the world, because the USD is their currency. But they don't really need this stealing, and neither do the Brits.


Ukrainian Troops Increasingly Refusing Orders, Desertion Rates Explode

The Times of London reported data from the Ukrainian government showing that "51,000 criminal cases were initiated for desertion and abandonment of a military unit between January and September of this year."

El Pais previously noted that 45,000 Ukrainians were being prosecuted for desertion from the start of the year through August. Al-Jazeera says the number is at least 30,000 desertions.

At the start of the year, Kiev was estimated to have between 500,000 and 800,000 active-duty soldiers and an additional 300,000 reservists.

The Ukrainians have also sustained casualties fighting to defend from Russian advances and amid Kiev's Kursk invasion.

Kiev has struggled to fill its ranks with fresh soldiers, leading Ukraine to drop its conscription age from 27 to 25. As Kiev is still facing manpower shortages, American politicians are pushing Ukraine to drop draft age to 18. Responsible Statecraft has reported:

Despite no evidence of victory on the horizon, the Republican senator is urging Ukrainian lawmakers to pass a mobilization bill that would force more Ukrainian citizens to be drafted into the military. Currently, men under 27 are exempted from the draft. Graham has a problem with that.

...Graham told reporters, "I would hope that those eligible to serve in the Ukrainian military would join. I can't believe it's at 27. You're in a fight for your life, so you should be serving — not at 25 or 27."

"We need more people in the line," he said.

Ukraine has also resorted to allowing prisoners to leave jail if they join the military.

One Ukrainian who deserted told the Times that prison was a better option than the military because "at least in prison, you know when you will be able to leave."

Just like Kursk was a "gift"?

As of now Ruzzia seems unable to re-take Ruzzia. The North Koreans have been sent there but they do not have any better equipment, any better command and their morale will last until they are told they need to sacrifice themselves so that the Ruzzian soldiers can see where the Ukrainian positions are.

Lol, for what? To make WWIII? Honsense.

I guess you're talking about this video, I saw it too:

Well, I guess that for North Korean troops might be better idea than return to North Korea (if they will survive in war somehow) They will get to eat 3 times a day, what's probably is something what not everyone gets in North Korea.

Maybe Mr. Kim will put an Iskander of Kinzal on 'LG Chem - Life Sciences' so they will stop sending out 'vaccines' to poison the third-world infants on their first day of life.  That would hardly break my heart.  Vietnam ran LG out after finally complying with their own rules that Vietnamese infants cannot get dosed up with jabs that are not used in the country of manufacture.

All these little Ukrainian games. Dead Ukraine.


Russia Is Experiencing Its "Fastest Economic Growth In The Last Decade"

In the wake of many Western companies leaving the country or suspending their operations due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, they were quickly replaced by Russian versions.

So, instead of Starbucks, they have Stars Coffee, instead of Zara, they have Maag, and instead of Coca-Cola, Dobry Cola.

Back in April, Doby reported that its 2023 earnings were quadruple the profits made in 2022.

Connolly says that sanctions have proven ineffective, essentially resulting in sanctions evasion becoming a sector in and of itself.

This means that banned Western goods are still entering the country, with Russians able to purchase most of the products they were able to buy before the war.

This includes cars such as Mercedes and Chrysler, which end up in Russia via third countries such as Georgia, Kazakhstan and China.

Their price is higher because of the tortuous import route, but wealthy Russians can afford them.

"Many Russian small businesses have an incentive to buy goods on foreign markets, bring them back to Russia and sell them at very good margins," Connolly says.

The expert notes that before the war, Russian investment in the economy was poor, but now Russia is experiencing its "fastest economic growth in the last decade."

^^^ You ignore that Russia was playing the West's game. How do we know? By the $billions that they had in Western banks with which to trade with the West.

Then the West broke a bunch of agreements with Russia - including that they would not push NATO further East. And when Russia retaliated to protect themselves, the West froze their money in the Western banks.

Now, Russia is pulling out of their losses, and becoming extremely powerful. And you don't like it because you were probably one of those who was screwing Russia all along, and lying to them.



Do you know how weak the West really is? Look at a map of Russia and Siberia. It's gigantic... way bigger than China, and maybe bigger than China and the US combined. NATO is tiny land-wise.

If the West had any strength, they would simply take the Russian land. But they can't because Russia is way too strong. Wake up and see that it is Russia's patience that is keeping you and all of the UK from being destroyed in WW3... WW3 that the US is pushing into being, and the UK that Russia would strike first in nuclear war.

We have the same inflation in Croatia since we swapped national currency for Euro, yet not many people die from hunger

UK, though:

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c8xeyx7x75eo.amp

"A record 9.3 million people - including one in five children - are facing hunger and hardship in the UK, according to an anti-poverty charity."

Those are 3rd world numbers

Nope, the point you were making is that the Ruzzia economy is going superb, and it is not the case. It has high inflation and awful interest rates.

Ruzzia was effective doing business as usual... except for two little tiny details: Annexing Crimea a waging a covert war in the Donbas.

Have you got any argument to say the US or other wanted to "steal Siberia" ... I mean, if that was even physically possible. Ruzzia did try to wipe "the West", they simply lost because it is not much of a country. They can cause trouble an misery, but not ever able to produce anything good for the world, just destruction.

https://history.state.gov/milestones/1989-1992/fall-of-communism

First things first. You are Ruzzia economy is going great, but you say nothing at a 21% rate.

Second you say the US wanted to steal Siberia, which is pretty much in the middle of the Ruzzian Federation and has nearly no possible physical link with US. You have provided vage allegations about the CIA. I am waiting for proof.

You are saying the CIA and MI6 has tried to infiltrate the Slavic nations and I say YES and not only those, also all Latin America, South East Asia, Central Europa and everywhere else. That is what secret services do. Just as the USSR and Ruzzia have infiltrated and keep infiltrating the Western nations and interfered with elections. Minus one point for everyone.

You say people of Slavic nations understand this. You mean, like Estonia, Lithuania, Letonia? Ask them if they'd like to be ruled from Moscow again: hint, they don't. There is no particularly good reason for Slavs to be ruled by Moscow in the interest of Moscow.

No you are not KGB, you at most could be FSB (and you are not either, you may be a Chinese Texan at most). Putin has not resurrected it, he IS the FSB and grew up in the ranks of the FSB, seriously you did not know that??

I am from Paxmania, we only have the Paxmanian self-defence forces who are armed with fairy powder and unicorn poo.
