"The Russian Ministry of Defense wants to change the age limit for mobilized soldiers to 65. Currently, no one older than 50 can be mobilized."
what a great news for Russians just before presidential election. Fyi - for decades retirement age in Russia for men was 60y. In 2018, the Russian Government approved a bill to gradually increase the retirement age for men to 65, starting from the beginning of 2019 until 2028. Currently it is 63y.
All in all, you might be considered too old to hold an office job, but you are not considered too old to crawl through trenches in sub zero conditions, carry say 20kg of mil. equipment all day and fight to death.
But think of the money that will be saved on pensions!

Cooperation is a good thing. It can lead to scientific advances. However, being threatened with a so-called "GERM" response team by Bill Gates does not count as cooperation (unless they've redefined that term, too).

UKRAINE WAR GRINDS ON -
Slav kills Slav
RW: .."When the SMO started we had that sort of famous Blitzkrieg and rush towards Kiev, which was semi encircled, and according to Putin an agreement was drawn up; there was going to be some sort of ceasefire.
The agreement, at least according to Putin. contained some sort of language about outlawing Nazi ideology, and then according to Putin, Germany and France came to him and said:
"You can't expect Kiev to sign this agreement with a gun to their head. Please pull your troops back.”
And Putin did that..and then Ukraine actually used that opportunity to build up its military; get supplies from Washington; and continue the war.
So I guess my problem with this idea of how much can Russia tolerate? Well it had a gun to Kiev's head and then it allowed itself to be lied to again.
I don't get this..If war is politics by other means and and you know again and again again, over the last 30 years, Russia has been deceived and lied to and led by the nose, why would you then launch a military operation to solve this issue and then sort of decide: "Well okay, we're not going to wait until the issue is actually solved. We're gonna take the word of the West again."
The wording is a bit misleading (in Russian too). https://avto.vesti.ru/hitech/article/3791028 I'm not sure whether he's referring to 5% of citizens who have specifically gone out of their way to state their refusal to have their biometric data collected and used (https://www.gosuslugi.ru/help/faq/biometrics/64889 -- involves going to a govt office or bank and making a written request. Many people against their biometry being collcted/used didn't do this, as they smelled a scam, were too lazy, had no idea this was an option, or had no idea their biometrics had already been collected) or 5% of people who have said no when the nice bank teller asked to take their picture, or something else entirely. In any case I doubt that it was presented as "hey would you like to have banks and the government collect and use your biometric data?" Because I'm pretty sure the no's would have had more than 5%. Of course, opinions are nice to have, but if you get fooled nonetheless it doesn't matter much, I guess.
Seems to me that Russia is in the same mess as the west. This is going to end badly for everyone. As Gerald Celente says; 'When all else fails(and it has, covid didn't work as expected and no one in their right mind is buying EVs because no one believes in the climate change narrative)they take you to war'. History proves Gerald to be correct.
Cute. Obviously trying to argue with you is going to end in disaster but let's at least perform a single simple test. This Yahshua person, what of him? What's his deal?
Well, you mentioned his body so that particular test has been passed. If you had been chanelling a demon (directly), you would have denied he had a body. Although I suppose there are still little details that can make it go anywhere.

Here's a great interview with former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis where he goes into the different ways big tech is like a modern fiefdom. In China though, the banks work with the tech... Meanwhile in Russia and USA the banks have way too much power..
Thanks for this comprehensive round-up. A couple of comments:
1) Norway also announced it would be sending more NASAMs to Ukraine.
2) Here in Tiraspol (PMR), cucumbers are scarcer's than hen's teeth and insanely expensive. I have a feeling that the issue stems from a lack of supplies from Turkey, for reasons that I'm unaware of (Turkey is the #3 global producer of cucumbers). But I do know that Holland previously provided a heck of a lot of (hothouse) cucumbers for Europe, so recent legislative attacks on farmers there may also be affecting the global "supply chain."
3) Tomatoes, by contrast, are widely available here at normal prices for this time of year. Tomatoes are just about the ideal vegetable to grow in vast quantities inside natural gas-powered hothouses (aka greenhouses), so I have no clue why Russia isn't producing all the tomatoes it needs, domestically.
4) If Chubais ever strokes out from a Covid shot, I don't think there will be many people crying about it :)

Thank you for this very informative update, Mr Waggaman. It's always appreciated. I don't comment to your posts often, but I always read them.
I would like to take the opportunity to leave a comment here about a (recommended) discussion between Mr Rurik Skywalker (comments only open to subscribers) and Mr Iaian Davis (but they are both subscribers here, so perhaps they will read it here, and of course Mr Waggaman's subscribers might benefit from this comment).
Mr Skywalker expresses an interest in the metaphysical or esoteric reasons for events in the world right now (just like Mr Hrvoje Morić of Geopolitics & Empire does, from time to time).
It's important to know that by viewing absolutely everything 'esoteric' as 'dark' can only lead to misunderstanding and limited knowledge:
A lot of what's unfolding in the world at this time is both ORGANIC and CYCLIC on a metaphysical level:
Ancient civilizations understood very well what would happen at the end of a very long cycle (the End of Days/End Times, also described in the Bible), which is; people and their rulers become destructive and self-destructive at the same time (it's not only the elites - the is a general trend, meaning we also have to look at ourselves). Humanity destroys itself at the end of the cycle. THE REMNANT makes it through to the other side and starts a new world.
At the end of a long cycle everything degenerates into collapse. It happens internally (spiritually/mentally/consciously because of collapsing morality, ethics, conscience, etc), as well as externally (deterioration of rule of law, corruption, authoritarianism, etc). Please See: Pitirim Sorokin: 'The Crisis of Our Age' (transition phenomena described in detail).
We are at the end of a 26,000-year cycle (Precessional System - The 'Great Year' in the Yuga system) as well as transitioning between two 5,125-year 'Great Cycles' (in the Maya system).
Accelerationism: ("embracing apocalypse through acceleration") is the result of darkening and declining consciousness at the end of this 26,000-year cycle. The 26,000-year cycle 'reboots' in 2032 (which is why 2030/2032 are such important years and feature in so many agendas).
Everything is being accelerated because 2032 is a deadline (time is running out! - so limited windows exist for certain forces to achieve their objectives), after which everything turns UPWARDS again in the cycle - this is the GOOD NEWS.

if we are to believe anyone, then anyone can make up anything about metaphysics, and it should all be taken equally seriously because it is literally all unproven opinion/assertion. in that sense, i should stop listening to anyone else and go back to praying to the rocks in my backyard. that would have just as much validity.

If you are planning for enhancing your 2024 garden back in the village life and would like to get some highly productive (and delicious) crops in there (assuming you and/or Ekaterina do not already have them growing on your property) I highly suggest looking into Serviceberries/Saskatoon berries. Amelanchier spicata and amelanchier ovalis are already naturalized in Russia (but I think Amelanchier alnifolia would do well where your place is at as well).
If you are unfamiliar with this species and want to learn more about service berries, here is a link to my most recent post that delves into amelanchier (service berries) and the many benefits it can provide in the context of permaculture design and forest gardening.
mr. slavsquat, the obvious way to get rich (at this precise moment and place) is to get a geothermal heat bank underneath a green house and start growing tomatoes and cukes for the hungry cities on your newfound homestead.
raising them "on gas heat" is a dumb waste of resources and raises the costs. even if gas is abundant in your country.

i cannot agree with your opinion of the future. the nature of reality, yin/yang
states that if some thing exists, so too does it's complement. therefore some will do well,
some people will survive, learn, grow stronger,
and some of the corrupt, or many of them
will fall to their own machinations.
every man has a choice on whether or not he goes to war,
decides if there are reasons for such drastic actions.
perhaps the war you speak of will be;
those on the side of Life, Peace and honouring the Creator and Creation
and those on the side of death, destruction and falsehoods..
That’s not Taoism that’s social Darwinism lol
When I said 'everyone' that was an externalized generalization. There are rough waters ahead, no doubt. Hence; newmoonfarm.ie
