Here are the new American sanctions. There will be new European ones soon. Do we need to respond to them? It seems not, their number is already measured in tens of thousands. We have learned to live and develop with them.

On the other hand, it is necessary. Not only to the authorities, the state, but to all our people in general. To everyone who loves our Motherland – Russia. After all, they – the USA and their fucking allies – declared war on us without rules!

How to react? I already talked about this once, but it’s worth repeating.

Every day we must try to inflict maximum harm on those countries that have imposed these restrictions on our country and all our citizens. Harm in everything in which harm can be done. Harm to their economies, their institutions and their rulers. Harm to the well-being of their citizens. Their confidence in the future. To do this, we must continue to look for the critical vulnerabilities of their economies and hit them in all areas. Cause damage in all places, paralyzing the work of their companies and government agencies. Find problems in their most important technologies and strike them mercilessly. Literally destroy their energy, industry, transport, banking and social services. Instill fear of the imminent collapse of all critical infrastructure.

Are they afraid of handing over our weapons to the enemies of the Western world? We must transfer to them all possible types of weapons, except nuclear (for now)!

Are they afraid of anarchy and an explosion of crime in major cities? We must help disorganize their municipal government!

Are they afraid of war in space? This means they will receive it too. Let everything stop for them, everything will deteriorate, everything will go to hell!

Are they afraid of social explosions? Let’s arrange them! We need to throw all the most ominous night terrors into their media sphere, use all their terrible phantom pains. No need to spare their psyche anymore! Let them shiver in their cozy homes, let them shiver under the blankets.

Are they yelling about our use of fake news? Let’s turn their life into a complete crazy nightmare in which they will not be able to distinguish wild fiction from the realities of the day, infernal evil from the routine of life.

And no rules regarding the enemy! Let them get everything in full for harming Russia and as painfully as possible! Everyone can contribute!

Remember:
Quid pro quo!
Tit for tat!

Вот и новые американские санкции. Скоро будут и новые европейские. Надо ли на них реагировать? Вроде бы и нет, их количество измеряется уже десятками тысяч. Мы научились жить и развиваться с ними.

А с другой стороны – нужно. Не только властям, государству, но и всем нашим людям в целом. Всем, кто любит нашу Родину – Россию. Ведь они – США и их сраные союзнички – объявили нам войну без правил!

Как реагировать? Я уже как-то говорил об этом, но нелишне и повторить.

Надо каждый день пытаться нанести максимальный вред тем странам, которые ввели против нашей страны и всех наших граждан эти ограничения. Вред во всём, в чём можно навредить. Вред их экономикам, их институтам и их правителям. Вред благополучию их граждан. Их уверенности в завтрашнем дне. Для этого надо и дальше искать критические уязвимости их экономик и бить по ним во всех сферах. Причинять ущерб во всех местах, парализуя работу их компаний и государственных учреждений. Находить проблемы в их важнейших технологиях и беспощадно наносить удары по ним. Буквально изничтожать их энергетику, промышленность, транспорт, банковские и социальные услуги. Наводить страх неминуемым коллапсом всей критической инфраструктуры.

Они боятся передачи нашего оружия врагам западного мира? Надо передать им все возможные виды вооружений, кроме ядерного (пока)!

Они боятся анархии и взрыва преступности в крупных городах? Надо помочь в дезорганизации их муниципальной власти!

Они опасаются войны в космосе? Значит, получат и её. Пусть у них всё остановится, всё испортится, всё полетит в тартарары!

Они боятся социальных взрывов? Давайте устроим их! Надо вкидывать в их медиасферу все самые зловещие ночные страхи, использовать все их жуткие фантомные боли. Не надо больше щадить их психику! Пусть дрожат в своих уютных домах, пусть трясутся под одеялами.
Они орут про использование нами фейковых новостей? Давайте превратим их жизнь в сплошной безумный кошмар, в котором они не смогут отличить дикую выдумку от реалий дня, инфернальное зло от рутины жизни.

И никаких правил в отношении врага! Пусть получат всё сполна за вред России и как можно больнее! Каждый может внести свою лепту!

Помните:
Quid pro quo!
Tit for tat!
Перелом за перелом, око за око, зуб за зуб; как он сделал <…>, так и ему должно сделать
(Левит, 24:20).

Just go away, be happy that you still have a piece of the pie and let the world have peace. For if you are not careful, even that piece will be taken from your greedy mouth as you try to stuff it all in at once…

It was talked about and I decided to watch this new soap opera…

Worth think about and watch to see if Saudi Arabia actually pulls away, even a tiny bit?

Then time marched forward and Hmm…

The 50-year-old petrodollar agreement between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia was just allowed to expire. The term “petrodollar” refers to the U.S. dollar’s role as the currency used for crude oil transactions on the world market. This arrangement has its roots in the 1970s when the United States and Saudi Arabia struck a deal shortly after the U.S. went off the gold standard that would go on to have far-reaching consequences for the global economy. In the history of global finance, few agreements have wielded as many benefits as the petrodollar pact did for the U.S. economy.

Oops America, one more big fish slips away to grasp freedom…

Implications are massive and don’t worry, the USA hates everyone the same and more so everyday…

Very good job Saudi Arabia…
