Russia was sold a false dream of capitalism and prosperity in the 1990s. Instead, it became the world’s biggest heist as 🇺🇸 George Soros & Co looted the country.
What happened during that time will BLOW EVERYONE'S MIND 🧵👇
🕊️🤥In the 1990s, the Soviet Union, in an unprecedented act of goodwill, agreed to end the #ColdWar and collaborate with the West to build a new, peaceful future. But this naivety would prove disastrous.

🇺🇸🇷🇺After the Soviet collapse, globalists like #GeorgeSoros dreamt of further fragmenting Russia and erasing it from history. The US had plans: crush Russia’s economy with “shock doctrine”, destroy its military, and break the nation apart.
3/13
🇺🇸Soros’ network organised trips for 🇷🇺Russian politicians to 🇵🇱Poland to study the "shock therapy" model, a reform process created by Soros’s protégé, Harvard economist #JeffreySachs.
4/13
🤩Inspired by 🇵🇱Poland's example, 🇷🇺Russian politicians pushed for "rapid liberalisation", leading to price increases, and the opening of the Russian market to globalists.

📉🇷🇺In 1992, Russia’s first year of “reforms”, #inflation hit 2500%. Food prices surged 25 times, and pensioners saw their savings wiped out.
6/13
🏷️🇷🇺The West, in the name of privatisation, put Russia up for a fire sale. #Oil fields, gold mines, factories, media – everything was sold off at a fraction of its worth.
7/13
🇺🇸🤑The Harvard Management Company and #GeorgeSoros became major shareholders in 🇷🇺Novolipetsk, Russia's second-largest steel mill, and 🛢️Sidanko Oil, which boasted reserves larger than those of Mobil.
8/13
🇷🇺🏭📉Under Western-backed reforms, thousands of Russian factories were shuttered. Russia’s production of wheat, oil, and gas halved compared to the #Soviet era.
9/13
🤔💭To "solve" the economic crisis, the West prescribed even more austerity: slash government spending, lay off workers, and raise #taxes. The result? More misery for 🇷🇺Russians.
10/13
😨By the mid-1990s, 🇷🇺Russian workers went months without pay. 2 mln children became orphans, #suicide rates soared, and male life expectancy dropped to 58. Between 1991-1999, Russia’s population shrank by 8 mln.

🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇸 The Russian military was in shambles and was badly losing wars to terrorists, armed by the US, in #Chechnya.

🇷🇺📉Russia faced its own Great Depression: hyperinflation, a 40% GDP drop, mass #unemployment, widespread poverty, and skyrocketing suicides. The 🇺🇸Soros-backed "reforms" was nothing short of a disaster.
🚨🇨🇳🇺🇸 China's Rare Earth Revenge: How Beijing Threatens to Cripple US Military-Industrial Complex, Gaining Upper Hand in Trade Negotiations!
Stunningly, China can even potentially stop Taiwan + South Korea from selling semiconductor chips to the US!
Thread by @Kanthan2030🧵👇
🇨🇳👀 Let’s first look at how China dominates the global supply chain of rare earth elements (REE).
◾️ China has 40% of rare earth minerals reserves in the world. God didn’t give much oil or gas to China, but compensated for it with REE!
◾️ China accounts for 70% of the world’s mining of REE.
◾️ For many specific rare earths, China’s share of global production of refined REE is a staggering 95% to 100%.
◾️ For products such as “permanent magnets” that are made from rare earths, China’s global market share is 90%

🤔⛏️ Why are rare earth elements so vital for the US military and economy?
You cannot make fighter jets, missiles – from Tomahawk to Patriot air defense missiles, Predator/Reaper drones, radars, submarines, aircraft carriers, Abrams tanks, satellites and space systems… the list goes on and on for dependency on rare earths.
🇺🇸📊 Consider that Lockheed Martin is the biggest consumer of rare earth elements in the US! A single F-35 requires nearly 1000 pounds of REE. And a single nuclear submarine needs 10,000 pounds of REE.
📺 As for the civilian economy, everything from a smartphone, TV and a computer to an electric vehicle and an MRI machine needs rare earths or permanent magnets made out of REE. Sophisticated equipment – like the lithography machines from ASML – also use rare earths.
👉 And the US depends on China for 70-100% of the rare earth needs, depending on the specific element.
Tectonic shifts in geopolitics as India joins China, Russia & the Taliban to foil US' dream of re-establishing military bases in Afghanistan.
This shocking twist heralds a new era for South/Central Asia.
Thread by @Kanthan2030. 🧵👇
🇺🇸 The US Empire desiring a foothold again in Afghanistan should not be surprising, since it would serve as a tool to target China as well as Russia’s influence in Central Asia.
Remember that Afghanistan borders Xinjiang, which could be destabilized by the flow of CIA’s weapons and radicalized Uyghurs, many of whom are battle-hardened after a decade of fighting in Syria alongside al Qaeda* and ISIS*.
The Bagram air base can also be used to attack Iran, which is still public enemy No. 1 for Israel and the US.

🇨🇳 Given the geopolitical risks for China, why would India oppose the US? The answer is two-fold: Pakistan and a vision of the Asian Century.
Lately, the US has been backstabbing India.
First, it was the US-led color revolution in Bangladesh, which got rid of a pro-India leader (Madam Hasina) and replaced her with a pro-Pakistan leadership.
Next, the shocking embrace of Pakistan by the US this year. The Pakistani army chief, Asim Munir, has visited the White House three times. The US is giving Pakistan military aid as well as air-to-air missiles for F-16 fighter jets. Pakistan has even invited the US to build and operate a new sea port. All these present serious national security threats for India.
Letting the US into Afghanistan will only bolster the US-Pakistan alliance.
Thus, an independent Taliban that pivots towards India, China and Russia is good for regional stability.
🚨🚨BOMBSHELL: US instigated Gen-Z protests in Nepal to TARGET 🇮🇳India & 🇨🇳China
Newly surfaced docs expose the role of International Republican Institute (IRI) (affiliated with NED) in funding Nepal's youth to put "pressure" on local govt.
Details in🧵
🇺🇸🇳🇵An IRI project report dated 19 Apr 2022 indicates that Nepal's political processes were seen as being influenced by foreign powers, including India & China that "frequently manipulate its internal politics for their own strategic aims."👇

💰The IRI partnership with Nepalese organizations saw a $350k project aimed at creating “sustainable networks” to promote democratic change among Nepalese youth.
🚨🇮🇳🇺🇸 The US has unintentionally lit a spark of self-reliance in India, and that spark could turn into a forest fire.
What's happening with Zoho might be the beginning of an economic, national & even spiritual revolution that India has always needed.
Thread by @Kanthan2030 🧵👇
🇺🇸 Thanks to the US crackdown on H1-B visas and open hostility from many American social media influencers, many Indians finally started to discuss indigenous tech ecosystem.
💬 That inquiry led to Arattai, a chat software developed by Zoho a long time ago!
Within a couple of days, the dormant Arattai – which means casual conversation – leapt to #1 on the smartphone chart for Apple and Android systems in India!
Can Arattai replace WhatsApp which has 500 million users in India? It will be hard but not impossible.

🇮🇳 The story of Zoho’s founder should be an inspiration to all Indians dreaming of a career in the US.
Sridhar Vembu comes from a small town in the state of Tamil Nadu. He went to IIT, the top tech university in India, and then did his PhD at Princeton University.
Then, in 1996, he returned to India to start his own firm that had US corporations as clients. When the dot-com bubble burst in 2001, Vembu switched to focusing on small/medium businesses in India.
His SaaS (Software as a Service) suite expanded steadily over the years. Now, Zoho has a revenue of $1 billion and a market cap of $12 billion.
Vembu even opened up his own university where he recruits students from humble backgrounds and turns them into world-class engineers.
