Jā, ekscentriskiem entuziastiem, kas sūta Ziemassvētku atklātnes draugiem jau 21. gadu, sirds sāk strauji lēkāt, kad tuvojas patriotiskās apziņas brīdis atbalstīt valstij piederošu akciju sabiedrību.

Brutāli vienkāršoti. Salīdzināju mūsu mājsaimniecības reālās ikmēneša izmaksas pirms 2022. gada un tagad tajās izdevumu kategorijās, kur sadārdzinājumu vistiešāk ietekmē Krievijas karš (elektrība/apkure, pārtika, degviela, kredīti).

As an EU citizen, it’s been a long time since we heard this level of clarity. Full support for faster decisions, stronger action, and a common European defence policy. Better late than too late.

We know the urgency of funding Ukraine’s fight.

But Russia does not have just Ukraine in its sights.

Its full war-time economy is a direct threat to our national and economic security.

Russian assets immobilized indefinitely in the EU can be a game changer for Ukraine and Europe.

Counting mentions of “economy/economic” tells us about framing, not about the presence of a long-term economic vision or a genuine business mindset 😅

One wishes it were just a performance to laugh at. Instead, it’s a familiar narrative projected outward, light-years from how Europe actually works. Even so, Lavrov’s framing, detached as it is from reality, somehow still finds a receptive audience in an aging Trump.

Вор в законе возмутился “кражей”. Всё по понятиям, даже дипломатия.

From memory Russia’s oil break-even cost was cited around $35–40/bbl.
