Let’s move back and gain another perspective…The often “amoral” Oil/Gas Industry are willing to deal with anyone calibre of actor as long as they have “Contract Sanctity” to gain the most profits for themselves. Dictators are less complicated to deal with and manipulate markets accordingly. Russia used oil and gas as a weapon and this was back in 2019 and no doubt before. But listen to Rachel Maddow and her vision starting with the potential of DEMOCRACY….
“Blow Out” is the name of the book.

Russia exporting corrupted oil to Europe….and so much more ie back in 2019.

Japan has decided to buy Russian Oil. Even though they sanctioned same. Japan buying oil gas above the cap price. Remember Japan needs OIL. Add to this Japan is part of the G7. Where can we include the marker “Beware of vested interests”? Watch out for OPEC+. Note that decisions to cut supply enables manipulation of markets with prices invariably going up. Commodities is an interesting market to watch and if you have money to speculate in. Then the power of BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) 41% of world’s population. 24% of world’s GDP. Russia is mooting for a different currency to the US$ for obvious reasons. US and Vanuata and Guam…other strategic locations for the Americans in the Pacific and the silent switching of allegiances to China.

Realities for Ukraine: A video to inspire going forward. The Marshall Plan Rebuilt Germany after World War II. The Lend Lease is already in progress now for Ukraine. The Ukraine Phoenix will rise from the ashes once more. The resilience is in the people. This video is about corruption in Ukraine but what is of importance is their recognition of the corruption that exists and the “Will” to make changes at a time that war is waged upon them by the Russian Federation. As of today formally known as Rashists. They are guilty of genocide in accordance with the International Criminal Court.
“Ukraine the most open and transparent corrupt country in the world…” Ukraine has its own anti-corruption investigators; backed up by investigative journalism. They have fired corrupt judges, and have brought in panel to re-appoint judges who are honest and most importantly independent. Advanced IT can add to greater transparency in financial transactions; Ukraine has made advancements here.

So, now we understand what game Prigozhin was playing. He said Wagner was short of ammo, and the flanks were crumbling. He fooled Ukrainians to continue fighting, yet he massively bombed Bakhmut and continued to advance until the complete capture of the city. Well played!
