Russia and Ukraine flashpoint

[Tico]

You will like the news that comes from Russian sources:

-In economics I have been saying for quite some time that the Russian GDP is not collapsing; that what does collapse is the Russian GDP destined for the well-being and prosperity of Russia; but not the Russian GDP itself.

Well, that has been true until just yesterday, May 29. The demise of Russia's real economy means bond buyers see runaway inflation coming. You have to offer them increasingly higher rates so that they agree to buy them. Until there comes a point where it is not profitable to sell bonds. Well, this month they have placed a third of the bonds that they placed in April, only one day there was a normal sale of bonds, and just yesterday they decided not to sell more. The official explanation they gave "stabilizing the market" is a lie. They don't sell because it doesn't pay for them. The Russian dictatorship needs a few trillion rubles, which will now come from raising taxes on the working class: that is, more destruction of the real Russian economy. Russia's economy is entering another spiral. And if they don't find a solution to this (and I don't know what rabbit they're going to pull out of the hat now), then they're headed straight for the perfect storm.

-In military production they reach their zenith this fall and after the winter the irreversible decline begins.

-Gentlemen, the campaign of drone attacks has not actually started yet. Ukraine has been testing configurations, models, blind spots and routes for a few months. In a few more months Ukraine will have the data and the campaign will begin. So far all they have done is hinder Russian critical infrastructure; When it really starts they are going to make it disappear. And it is a situation where all the cards are in favor of Ukraine.
