Mezhevyi’s children were taken while he was being held in jail by Russian-backed separatists for 45 days. Unlike the many parents who have no knowledge of their children’s whereabouts, his family has been reunited, after he undertook a risky journey over the border to rescue them.

A Ukrainian fintech founder and drone developer is offering about $540,000 in prize money to the winner of a race to land a drone on Moscow's Red Square.

Volodymyr Yatsenko, the co-founder of Monobank, a Ukrainian online banking service, announced the competition in a Facebook post last week. The competition is open to any Ukrainian drone developers and will take place on May 9, according to the Ukrainian Military Center, a Ukrainian news outlet covering defense.

May 9 in Russia is Victory Day, a time when the country celebrates the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany.

Yatsenko himself is the developer of the Dovbush drone, which will also attempt the flight to the Russian capital but will not be a part of the competition, according to Forces, a Ukrainian military news blog.

"I hope that this amount will be fairly divided between the manufacturer and the military operators who will successfully complete the task, and will be directed to the improvement of the UAV," Yatsenko wrote on Facebook, according to a translation by Forces.

Yatsenko encouraged participating drone developers to write Ukrainian slogans on the wings of their drones, like "Glory to Ukraine," so that they can be identified when they land in Moscow, Forces reported.

Russia's economy is becoming increasingly primitive as its war in Ukraine drags on, and the repercussions could push it down the same path the Soviet Union endured three decades ago, according to the Russian economist and University of Chicago professor Konstantin Sonin.

The academic explained that the country's GDP has contracted 3%, instead of expanding 4% as anticipated. And with consumption and retail activity plunging, citizens have suffered even more than what's been reflected in GDP.

"Everything that is happening makes the Russian economy more primitive, more backwards," Konstantin said. "This makes backwardness and primitivism more persistent. And I think we are seriously going to follow the Soviet Union's path from the 1970s to the complete economic implosion of the late 1980s."

The collapse has already started, in his view. The Kremlin posted a $29 billion deficit in the first quarter, new data showed, as energy revenue continued to decline.

While Russia's coming demise may not be as dramatic in scale as the Soviet Union's fall, since certain parameters exist now that weren't present decades earlier, the economic drag will be severe, Konstantin said.

"[T]he stagnation can reach the level that will cause the full collapse of the state government machine, as it happened in the 1990s."

Falling oil prices and fears about capital flight helped push the Russian ruble to its weakest level against the U.S. dollar in a year on Monday, the latest milestone in what has been a dramatic reversal of fortune for the currency.

The ruble showed surprising resilience against the U.S. dollar last year despite Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, with the dollar falling 2.7% against the Russian currency in 2022.

But a changing backdrop both at home and abroad has weighed on the ruble since the start of the new year, currency analysts and economists said.

Since Jan. 1, the greenback has appreciated by more than 12% against the ruble, according to FactSet data. This makes the ruble the second-worst-performing major emerging-market currency after the Argentine peso, according to Marc Chandler, chief market strategist at Bannockburn Global Forex.

On Monday, the U.S. dollar USDRUB, +0.42% rose 0.7% to 81.55 to log its highest level against the ruble since April 11, 2022, according to FactSet. That’s on top of the dollar’s 4.5% advance against the Russian currency from last week, its biggest weekly advance since September, according to FactSet.

While the Russian government has historically kept a tight grip on its currency, international sanctions and falling oil and gas prices have made stabilizing the ruble more difficult, said Robin Brooks, chief economist at the Institute for International Finance, in commentary emailed to MarketWatch.

Lots of these small events could be leading up to something....

Basically seems like China will invade Taiwan at some point (by 2025) but they're trying to create as much anti American sentiment as possible so that the world wouldn't come together against China. In that situation the US might not have the ability to carry out and win this war.

And the USA is already fractured so badly internally since 2016 (thanks FOX News) that it may eventually lead to great civil unrest and cumulate to something terrible within the next decade. Because the right wing extremism is on the rise at the legislature level and they're quite open about it in many States. Definitely a lot of it is mirroring what happened in Germany in the 1920s and 1930s.

Another facet of these alliances is to have a trading zone unaffected by American sanctions.

It will be a big incentive for smaller countries to move their trade over.

People in the Americas see the USA in decline.
People from Asia see the PRC in decline.

Dumbasses and shitforbrains believe that the survey data was skewed.

[img]//uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230415/69237fc3bcd30513b915ad6e0ae354b4.jpg[/img]

China remains the most influential superpower in Southeast Asia but its grip on the region is waning, unlike that of the United States. This is what emerges from a survey conducted by the Singapore institute Iseas-Yusof Ishak on a sample of 1.308 citizens of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). If a year ago 54,4 percent of those interviewed said they considered China the most influential country in the region, now this opinion is shared by only 41,5 percent. The decline in Beijing's influence is felt particularly in Laos (from 75 to 30,8 percent) and in Myanmar (from 70,9 to 40 percent today). Conversely, support for the United States appears to be growing strongly in countries such as Indonesia, Myanmar, Singapore and the Philippines. And if a year ago only 29,7 percent of those interviewed considered Washington the most influential player in Southeast Asia, today 31,9 percent think so.

Isn't the source of this story a report from Seymour Hersh, the journalist who claimed that the US and Norway blew up the Nord Stream pipelines?

Two big political exposes in six months is a pretty fast pace for an investigative journalist that is nearly ninety years old. *tips hat*

This story first appeared on TASS at the start of the week.

On Sunday, the legendary investigative journalist Seymour Hersh finally released a story that he has been rumored to have been working on for years: the truth about the killing of Osama bin Laden. According to Hersh's 10,000-word story in the London Review of Books, the official history of bin Laden's death — in which the US tracked him to a compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan; killed him in a secret raid that infuriated Pakistan; and then buried him at sea — is a lie.

Hersh's story is amazing to read, alleging a vast American-Pakistani conspiracy to stage the raid and even to fake high-level diplomatic incidents as a sort of cover. But his allegations are largely supported only by two sources, neither of whom has direct knowledge of what happened, both of whom are retired, and one of whom is anonymous. The story is riven with internal contradictions and inconsistencies.

The story simply does not hold up to scrutiny — and, sadly, is in line with Hersh's recent turn away from the investigative reporting that made him famous into unsubstantiated conspiracy theories.

A decade ago, Hersh was one of the most respected investigative journalists on the planet, having broken major stories from the My Lai massacre in 1969 to the Abu Ghraib scandal in 2004. But more recently, his reports have become less and less credible. He's claimed that much of the US special forces is controlled by secret members of Opus Dei, that the US military flew Iranian terrorists to Nevada for training, and that the 2013 chemical weapons attack in Syria was a "false flag" staged by the government of Turkey. Those reports have had little proof and, rather than being borne out by subsequent investigations, have been either unsubstantiated or outright debunked. A close reading of Hersh's bin Laden story suggests it is likely to suffer the same fate.

But you love Russia, don't you? Didn't you say that you wanted Putin's face on your birthday cake?

Of course, you already know that Russia is one of the most corrupt countries in the world, has one of the highest wealth inequalities on the planet, that the bottom half of the Russian population has less savings per person than the bottom half of India, and that about one-third of Russia's wealth is controlled by about 100 Russians - but you don't want to face that part.

The misinformation bubble seems to be getting more and more crowded.

During the rule of Putin-ally Viktor Yanukovych, Ukraine was known for high levels of corruption across the government. It was during that period that Ukraine achieved its lowest score on Transparency International’s corruption index.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 was a stark reminder of the threat that corruption and the absence of government accountability pose for global peace and security: kleptocrats in Russia (28) have amassed great fortunes by pledging loyalty to President Vladimir Putin in exchange for profitable government contracts and protection of their economic interests. The absence of any checks on Putin’s power allowed him to pursue his geopolitical ambitions with impunity. This attack destabilised the European continent, threatening democracy and killing tens of thousands.

Russia has pounded the southern Ukrainian cities of Kherson and Beryslav, destroying about 30 buildings and injuring civilians, as a Ukrainian advance has been reported in the Kherson region onto the eastern bank of the Dnipro River (called the Dnieper River in Russia), which is controlled by Russian forces.

The US Institute for the Study of War said on Sunday that published geodata and reports by Russian military bloggers indicated that Ukrainian forces have taken up positions on the east bank of the river.

However, the extent and objectives of these Ukrainian successes, recorded for the first time, were unclear, according to the US-based think tank.
