BREAKING: Russia is considering moving back to the US Dollar as part of a wide-ranging economic partnership with President Trump, per Bloomberg.

The partnership would include:

1. US and Russia working together on fossil fuels

2. Joint investments in natural gas

3. Offshore oil and critical raw material partnerships

4. Windfalls for US companies

5. Russia's return to the USD settlement system

If finalized, this deal would change the global economy.

I'm afraid I know this answer, but how exactly does this work with a sanctions regime in place?


Trump will lift them after thanking Zelensky for driving putin back to the US Dollar!

If you calculate it looking forward in time, so which period of time marked the beginning of a surge in KIA. It is January 19th.

If you calculate it looking backwards, so which period of time end up having the most KIA. It is January 26th.

If you calculate it as a middle point, so which date was in the middle of the most KIA. It is February 2nd.

Regardless, January 19th to now has been a blood bath, averaging 204 KIA per day in video footage alone, and it would be the third highest KIA month we've counted, except its not even a month long.

February, thus far, contrary to expectations, is the highest KIA/Day month we've seen so far, with 193 per day.

January was the previous high mark with 192.

In half a day, they simulated destroying 17 armored vehicles and hit around 30 additional targets.
According to participants, the results were devastating for NATO forces.

Modern war has changed. Ukraine learned it the hard way. The question is: is NATO learning fast enough? NATO needs Ukraine.

Zelensky's right, by the way -- Putin is kinda 73 years old.

He doesn't have another 5 or 10 years to stop the war, leave Ukraine alone in stable peace, rearm his military, repair his economy, and attack Ukraine again in better shape when another opportunity comes.

Especially given the fact that Ukraine, in this post-war period, will also not be sitting idle.

If the psychotic maniac wants to see his lifetime dream come true and exterminate and erase Ukraine, he needs to get it done now or in the foreseeable future.

If he stops now, he'll never get Ukraine. At all.

Which is one of many reasons why he's not stopping the war and that any "peace deal" exists nowhere but Donald Trump's imagination -- right next to craving for his sweet "business opportunities" with the Kremlin.

Said this a long time ago. Ukraine has real world experience with the latest in modern warfare. NATO, with all of its technology and airpower, does not.

Absolutely brutal. Needs to be higher if they want their 50,000/month KIA goal to materialize.

These Ukrainian counterattacks are likely leveraging the recent block on Russian forces' access to Starlink, which Russian milbloggers have claimed is causing communications and command and control (C2) issues on the battlefield.

Recent tactical Ukrainian counterattacks in the Oleksandrivka and Hulyaipole directions have likely further hindered Russian forces' ability to properly prepare for a summer offensive toward Orikhiv and Zaporizhzhia City from the east.

Interesting speculation.

"New reports which are quickly going viral claim that Ukraine has stood up a new mixed squadron with Ukrainian, U.S. and Dutch pilots flying combat missions together in the country's F-16s."

PILOTS

.......which Ukraine denies.

Honestly surprised it took this look. Sort of a no brainer.

Solid strategy to tire out the enemy by having them kill all of your conscriptions.

Think of all the money he is saving on food for his troops. Depleting the Ukrainian ammo supply by presenting them with a plethora of easy to hit targets. Genius…

Normal movement? There's a lot of metal moving up and potentially out the East Coast?

That Congo line of stratotankers is nifty

Likely part of the Iran buildup. Look at the Iran thread and I posted a screen shot of 10 tankers apparently headed for Europe tonight. KC-135s and KC-46s.

It is the "protests erupt across Iran" thread. https://texags.com/forums/16/topics/3589318/

Looks like there are three more tankers and an E-3 over the UK headed east and potentially four more tankers leaving the west coast of the US headed east as well.
