Really hit them hard. Mother Nature can be brutal…

As of 10 am today, the total death toll in Syria and Turkey following yesterday’s earthquake is approaching 5,000 and the numbers are far from final. The total number of wounded is already about 27,000 people…

The total death toll in Syria and Turkey on the evening of February 8 is more than 10,500 people. The total number of wounded is over 63,000.
The analysis of the rubble and the extraction of the bodies of the dead continues, sometimes they still find the living, but these are rather happy exceptions…

Update: The total death toll in Syria and Turkey as a result of the earthquake approached 21,000 people. The number of wounded and injured is approaching 77,500. The numbers continue to rise. Occasionally they still find alive under the rubble.
It should be noted that among the dead there are several citizens of the Russian Federation…

Update: Fault in Turkey after the earthquake. (Video below)

The total death toll during the earthquake in Syria and Turkey has exceeded 38,500 people. The total number of wounded and injured is 193,000 people (several tens of thousands of citizens with minor injuries have already been discharged). According to adjusted estimates, the number of victims could reach at least 60-70 thousand people, many buildings have not yet been dismantled. This also applies to Syria and Turkey. It is worth noting that in Idlib, which is controlled by terrorists, there are even fewer opportunities to save people from the rubble.

Medvedev on Ukraine Reality…

Once again about how the remnants of Ukraine will become the new South Korea

It is clear that talk about the “Korean script” is just a wishlist. Like we, the rest of Ukraine, will be under Western control and protection. And then we will reach the level of the Republic of Korea. And yet – as it were, there remains some hope for reunification with the former territories. Thesis for internal use, no more.

True, Ukrainian propagandists do not write that the division along the 38th parallel created two independent countries.
And the Donbass and other territories became part of Russia, which is the largest state with full sovereignty and the most formidable weapons.

Something else is noteworthy here. In Kyiv, embarrassingly, they threw out the thesis that there could be no victory. In the best case – a section into parts. And in fact, this is the first step towards recognizing the realities that have developed on earth .

But I suspected this for many years now…

If the crisis in the Ukraine has taught me anything, it’s that most people from the United States are generally really, really stupid…

Are we witnessing a situation where the chickens are returning to roost?

Medvedev on a recovering Ukraine, according to evil midwife Ursula von “Something incomprehensible”…

Yesterday, a green patient from the narcological ward was visited by an aunt-gynecologist, who portrayed the chief European doctor. We discussed the rapid and fabulous recovery of the economy of Little Russia in the EU. Well, yes, this is clearly a lie.

In the meantime, the Kyiv regime, with the support of its Western curators, is fighting Russia “until victory”, and the economy of this unfortunate territory is rapidly turning into a stinking rot. This is openly spoken about even in those countries that promise the Ukrainian regime a recovery and eternal European love.

Here is a brief summary of the disease of the Ukrainian economy based on medical data from Goldman Sachs. A few bright figures characterizing the disease.

1. Ukraine has now lost territories that provided it with about 40% of the national industrial potential and about 15% of pre-war GDP.

2. It no longer has access to more than $12 trillion in mineral reserves. Including 63% of coal deposits and 42% of metals.

3. At full speed, agriculture is flying into the abyss. First, a sharp drop in yield. Wheat: 19.4 million tons in 2022 vs. 32.5 million in 2021. Corn: 18.4 million tons – 35.1 million, secondly, overland routes through Poland and Romania led to an increase in transport costs by 2–3 times.

4. At the end of 2022, Ukraine’s GDP decreased by 35-36%. And its total losses from the collision with Russia reached 830-850 billion dollars. And this despite the fact that in 2021 the country’s GDP was $ 200 billion. This record drop was forced to admit even their Ministry of Economics as the worst result in the history of the country.

5. Further, only the final collapse of industry, hyperinflation, poverty and total unemployment. The state debt of Nezalezhnaya by the end of this year will increase from 107 to 180-200 billion dollars. Hopes even for a microscopic recovery are illusory.

It is obvious that Russia will continue to work towards achieving the goals of the special military operation. This means that by the end of this year, Ukraine’s GDP may collapse by another 5-10%. Therefore, the prospect of complete bankruptcy of Ukrainian statehood and an inevitable end is more and more clearly visible.

Who is to blame is a rhetorical question. As the evil midwife Ursula von “Something incomprehensible” honestly admitted, the Ukrainian government pays for membership in the EU and NATO with the lives of its citizens. What can we say about some unfortunate economy. The ruin of the country does not bother the Kyiv camarilla. It continues to squander its territory with 404 exorbitant military spending. Based on the fact that the West will always throw some money. He will not let all the embezzlers who share the Western loot swell from hunger. After all, only for urgent needs, the Ukrainian budget this year will have to fork out 55 billion USD, with a deficit of 38 billion. It is clear that the more support, the more the insane clown and other parasites with an open form of kleptomania will steal.

Only the longer the leaders of the Ukrainian Nazis beg and steal aid from their donors, the closer the final collapse of the economy. After all, you will have to pay for the course of treatment in full. And the goal of the Western Aesculapius is by no means to cure the economy of the unfortunate country. The West has rich experience in killing experimental countries. The West is not the kind Dr. Aibolit, but Dr. Mengele. He is a sinister killer doctor.

Therefore, Ukraine will face the sad fate of those colonies that were once raped in the most perverted form, and then thrown out to die in the rotting dustbin of history.

The sadistic treatment of the Ukrainian economy will take place gradually. First, it is the amputation of industry and the agricultural sector. Then the paralysis of the economy as a whole. Well, after – the organic death of the remnants of the country itself.

The termination of life, or death, of the former state will be accompanied by insane laughter, indecent antics and vile clown antics of the Nazi gang, completely crazy from the abundance of blood and drugs. And the deathly silence of Western doctors, looking with cold contempt at the agony of their own tortured patient…

Statement as an America about America……

Well, it’s more than just math. It is what it is and then it is not. There was a day before which tulips, salt, etc were accepted as having value like money, and the day after they were not. Confederate currency in the South had value, but after war, it had no value…

We are dealing with psychology and math. If the US does absolutely nothing to reign in spending and the resultant thin-air printing to make the numbers balance then both the math and psychology fail earlier rather than later. This is of course the path we will take…

Another path we could take, but won’t is to limit or (heaven forbid) reduce spending. This might move the psychology of the dollar around the world in a favorable direction and prolong the value of a dollar. Hey, if we went crazy, we might even start paying down the debt, which would help the math…

Either of the choices (the preferred, and the alternate) will result in profound changes in the lives of Americans. Changes of the “I’m pissed off and I’m not voting for you, instead voting for the guy who will give me the free stuff back”…

But there is a limit to how much we can borrow. There has to be. Dare we find out what it is? Not if we had a sentient government that cared about the American people. Since we do not have that, we are going to find out what the number is that causes world psychology to tip over and jettison the dollar as fast as a Jefferson Davis 3-dollar bill on the day after, when it is no more…

So dollar momentum arguments fail to impress, in my opinion. We will hit the brick wall with blinders on and throttle wide open. That would be much worse than if we tried to deliberately take some positive action to prolong the dollar, and accept the political consequences…

But to do that means to play fair, become humble and realistic in our actions all the way around…

NATO Weapons? They burn like any other weapons…

NATO technology burns very brilliantly and just as vigorous as any tech anywhere…

The videos of what the Russian Kornet missile (Cornet ATM) does to NATO armor of all types is interesting to watch. I am sure that NATO is happy to see lots of real time evidence of their heavy armor melting into piles of husks?

As Medvedev says basically about weapons production in Russia, there is more than enough missiles for everyone in the west…

With out exception, the Kornet is unlimited in supply, basically…

The Russians are waiting for new targets in the form of Zelensky’s lend lease NATO equipment, all loaned from his foreign owners. With a price tag of course…

~~ Zelensky should get his money back! ~~

Let us slow walk into WW3, it is better than a fast run!

This is not the time to rush and hurry. Like so many Americans, so many EUians and so many world people, they have no strategic vision and only understands quick results with everything. Hey Google is the new idiot saying…

It’s called the Instant Gratification Syndrome…

Let us slow walk into WW3, it is better than a fast run!

Visiting our Central Park and since we had to do some water meter dumbness? Took pictures and had coffee…

Interesting that we moved into our flat in July of 2009. It has been a rein of stupidness over utilities since then. Nothing as far as the electric and water meters has stayed the same. New everything and new several times over. So in tradition of what has always been? We just re-re-certified our water meters again…

We had coffee and a small waffle sandwich from Mr. Corner. Not too bad…

Then I took good daytime images of our central park monument, because the other night it was too dark to do it justice…

Just Walking around our town…

So officially we got our water meter official and I think that we will not talk about the official stupidness to do water meters in out flats. Stupid and more stupid…

Yet we had a nice walk and got lots of fresh air and exercise…
