Milton Friedman spawned the Neoliberals & Leo Strauss spawned the Neoconservatives, they coalesced with other groups such as the Zionists revisionists to lead us to where in the West we are today, using United States, NATO & the EU as their hegemon conduits manufacturing enemies.
Russia & Christian Orthodox Church are their current manufactured enemy.
Islamists as manufactured enemy didn't stick, so they shifted to next best one.
Ironically, Prophecy of Christian Orthodox Church having the upper hand until Judgement Day is what they'll unravel instead.

The EU brought to its knees by the Straussians...

If European leaders do not open their eyes, their alliance with Washington will lead to the collapse of the Union’s economy.

1/14 The new package of sanctions against Russia is confirmed!

What sanctions are directly attacking #cryptocurrency and #digitalassets in Russia?

Were the previous packages so #crypto-focused?

Let's find all the answers right now!
A thread by @esatoshiclub! 🧵
2/14 Since the beginning of the #UkraineRussiaWar, Russia has been attacked with multiple sanctions packages from all around the world.

Although they didn't directly attack #cryptocurency and other digital assets, they did make some damage to the Russian #web3 community.
3/14 Here's a direct quote from the original EU package of sanctions from 23rd February 2022.

This happened right after the #Putin regime declared the recognition of the non-government-controlled areas of the Donetsk and Luhansk areas.

🇪🇺President @VonDerLeyen now announcing an 8th package of #RussiaSanctions

"Last week #Russia has escalated the war in #Ukraine to a new level. The sham referenda organized in the territories that 🇷🇺 occupied, are an illegal attempt to grab land and change intl borders by force"
"We do not accept the sham referenda," says 🇪🇺President @VonDerLeyen, "or any type of annexation in Ukraine."

"And we are determined to make the Kremlin pay for this further escalation."
The new #RussiaSanctions include:

🙅‍♂️1300 more people & entities on targeted list
🚚"Sweeping" ban on Russian imports worth €7bn

Long THREAD on the potential #Hungarian #veto of the #SixthSanctionPackage @gmfus
1.
As I highlighted in this previous piece of mine, it is not a surprise that #Orbán is tying the question of #RussiaSanctions to the #RuleOfLaw conditionality regulation ...
tol.org/client/article…
2.
and the suspended #RecoveryFunds.
#Orbán just repeats his strategy he pursued with success in case of the 2020 EU budget blockade.
He is aware of the fact that due to his rampage in EU politics he has lost nearly all of his persuasive and negotiation power,
3.
hence he has to operate with coercion. This is not the first time #Hungary is taking EU decision making as hostage, and not even the last one if #Orbán once again is allowed to succeed with his #blackmailing.

🇪🇺energy ministers holding an emergency meeting today to discuss how to respond to Russia shutting off the gas taps to #Poland & #Bulgaria - and clarify whether paying for gas in rubles would violate the EU's #RussiaSanctions.

They'll also try to find agreement on a #OilEmbargo.
What we know for sure is any 🇪🇺 embargo on #RussianOil won't begin immediately. It would probably be phased out by end of the year.

In order to avoid an #Orban veto, #Hungary may have to be granted exemptions. #Italy & #Greece also need more convincing. But #Germany is on board.
Today's emergency meeting starts 3pm. If 🇪🇺 agrees oil embargo it will send shock waves through the world economy, analysts predicting it will lead to even higher inflation. There are fears of resulting social unrest.

#Brussels & #Washington in talks on how to cushion the blow.

A 🧵on the #Dmitrievsky #Chemical Plant explosion and fire. On @Twitter I mostly post on Data Security (20year as a CxO and #Votehacking. But I also have 9 years as CEO and longer on BODs of #AdvancedMaterials / #NanoMaterials.
The extreme damage, perhaps total destruction of this chemical plant is going to have a spectacular and massive impact on the #RussianArmy. Possibly grinding entire systems to a stop in weeks, perhaps even days.
Like many industrial sectors in #Russia, they tend to be centralized, massive + singular. This is generally a result of historic centralization of production under the Soviet model, and a fear of building massive high-cost infrastructure by nonRU firms #BASF #DuPont etc.

Conclusions on #Ukraine after Day 1, the 27 #EUCO PMs & presidents.

"The European Council calls on all countries to align with those sanctions. Any attempts to circumvent sanctions or to aid Russia by other means must be stopped"
consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press…
The big question is whether EU leaders will today ban imports of Russian oil & coal. This morning presidents Biden & VDL will announce LNG deal designed to make that easier.

“Everybody wants it but it’s nothing that you can do in the short term" said 🇳🇱Dutch PM Rutte last night.
“Measures on energy right now would have a huge impact on our economies" said 🇧🇪Belgian PM. “The basic rule is that sanctions must have a much greater impact on the Russian side than on the European side. We don't wage war on ourselves"

Could phasing in the ban allay concerns?

🇺🇸US President Joe Biden speaking at #NATO HQ now.

He says it’s understandable that NATO allies are concerned. “The US has committed to provide $2 billion to Ukraine since I became president…our weapons are flowing into 🇺🇦 as we speak” Image
#Biden says it was clear in his call with #Putin a month ago that the Russian leader didn’t expect the West to stay so United.

He praises America’s #NATO and #EU partners for their robust response. Image
On #China, #Biden says he believes Xi understands his country’s future will be better cooperating with the West than in being tied to Russia.

Very similar line to what Macron, Scholz & Draghi said earlier.

More #Russiasanctions do not necessarily increase the probability of #Peace, it could end up meaning the opposite. Many rightly point out that #oilandgas revenues dull the G7 block of Russian foreign exchange and have helped stabilize the #Ruble, at least for now. But...🧵
...we've never had sanctions like this and may be losing tabs on the strategy. Is a sovereign default a pre-requisite? Is there a bleed-rate on the #Ruble that equals a bleed-rate in the #war? We want to punish--understandably--but with what outcome?
We overestimated #RussianArmy and underestimated #Ukraine, thought we needed to hit immediately. But things have changed. Russia will fight an insurgency. This gives #sanctions and #Export controls more time. It also means in conflict, the return on additional sanctions weakens.

🇪🇺 foreign affairs ministers have just started their meeting here in Brussels to discuss possible new #RussiaSanctions.

Poland is calling for a "complete trade blockade" including energy. That remains a tall ask.
"Today will be a very long day," says EU foreign affairs chief @JosepBorrellF.

"Russia is really doing a lot of #WarCrimes. That's the word, I have to say that. What's happening in #Mariupol is a massive war crime - destroying everything."
"Europe cannot give an impression of fatigue," says #Lithuania FM Landsbergis entering #FAC. "We cannot get tired of imposing sanctions"

"There's a feeling in the room to sit down & take a breath. I think that's a bad message"

It's "unavoidable" that they talk about an #OilBan.

How does the sanctions issued by #PresidentTrump against #Russia in any way resemble the narrative many on the #left have fabricated that he is a pawn of #Putin?
#trump #president #sanctions #russiasanctions #internationallaw #assassination

cnn.com/2018/08/08/pol…
Time + time again, #President #Trump is firm w/#Russia, and he’s done it again with the @StateDept declaring that #Russia has violated #InternationalLaw.

Russia’s protests should come as no surprise to a President who has, and continues, to show a firm hand in dealing with them.

#BREAKING: Introducing hard-hitting, bipartisan #RussiaSanctions as the next step in tightening the screws on the Kremlin to bring to bear the full condemnation of the United States Congress so that Putin finally understands that the U.S. will not tolerate his behavior any longer
While Congress overwhelmingly passed a strong set of sanctions last year, the Administration has not fully complied with that legislation. And the Kremlin continues to attack our democracy, support a war criminal in Syria & violate Ukraine’s sovereignty.
With the passage of this legislation, Congress will establish a clear U.S. policy to hold Russia accountable with one clear message: Kremlin aggression will be met with consequences that will shake Putin’s regime to its foundation.
