Biden’s Sanctions: Shooting Europe in the Foot, Elevating Russia to Economic Superpower
Joe Biden’s last act of geopolitical sabotage? A sanctions blitz targeting Russia’s oil industry, hitting Gazprom Neft, Surgutneftegas, and over 180 vessels tied to Russian energy exports. The goal? Starve Russia of revenue. The result? Elevating Russia to an economic superpower while Europe crumbles under the weight of its own hubris.
Since 2014, the West has imposed over 40,000 sanctions on Russia, the most sanctioned country on Earth. And what has it achieved? Far from collapsing, Russia’s economy has catapulted. Moscow is now the fourth-largest economy in the world, surpassing Japan and Germany, a feat unimaginable a decade ago. Meanwhile, Europe, the sanctions’ biggest cheerleader, faces energy crises, deindustrialization, and economic stagnation. Russia says thank you for the sanctions, we couldn’t have built this Eurasian economic fortress without you.
Biden’s latest stunt, slapping new restrictions just before leaving office, is designed to hurt not just Russia but also Europe and the incoming Trump administration. Higher energy prices will cripple Europe further, forcing it to rely on overpriced U.S. LNG while its industries bleed jobs. Meanwhile, Trump will face a tangled web of sanctions, ensuring any attempt to end the Ukraine conflict or ease tensions with Moscow will face insurmountable obstacles. This is less about helping Ukraine and more about preserving the globalist agenda.
Let’s call it what it is: the sanctions have boomeranged. They’ve crippled Europe, inflated global energy prices, and pushed Russia into a sovereign, self-sustaining economy. Moscow now commands not just military supremacy but an economic dynamism rooted in Eurasia, free from Western control. These sanctions forced Russia to pivot eastward, solidifying its ties with China, India, and the Global South. The West’s unipolar fantasies have created a multipolar reality, Russia as a rising Eurasian powerhouse, while NATO allies sink into irrelevance.
Europe isn’t a victim, it’s a willing accomplice in its own destruction. NATO’s vassals, from Berlin to Brussels, have hollowed themselves out for a U.S.-led proxy war that’s drained their economies and shattered their sovereignty. And Biden? He couldn’t care less. For the globalists, Europe is expendable—a pawn sacrificed to contain Russia while the U.S. reaps the spoils of LNG sales and geopolitical chaos.
Meanwhile, Russia thrives. Its energy sector adapts, its economy grows, and its military dominance remains unmatched. What was meant to isolate Russia has only strengthened it, forcing it to build a Eurasian-focused economy immune to Western pressure. Europe? It’s left with empty promises, cold winters, and shuttered factories.
This isn’t just about sanctions—it’s about the collapse of the unipolar order. The globalists are playing their final hand, and it’s failing spectacularly. The lesson? You can’t strangle a nation that’s already building its own future. Russia thanks you, Joe Biden. The sanctions worked, but not in the way you intended.

🇩🇪🇺🇸 "WEIDEL: DEUTSCHLAND ALS KOLONIE DER USA"
🎙 In einem Interview mit der US-Zeitschrift "The American Conservative" bezeichnete AfD-Chefin Alice Weidel Deutschland als faktische "Kolonie der USA", die nicht in der Lage sei, eigenständige Entscheidungen in der Energie- oder Außenpolitik zu treffen. Sie sieht darin eine Fortsetzung der Abhängigkeit nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg.
✔️ Weidel sprach von Deutschland als "Sklave der USA", dessen Interessen in der NATO nicht vertreten würden. Zudem kritisierte sie die EU als unnötig für Deutschland, obwohl sie umgekehrt auf deutsche Unterstützung angewiesen sei.
✔️ Besonders scharf attackierte Weidel die deutsche Russland-Politik. Sie bezeichnete die militärische Unterstützung der Ukraine als "staatlich verordneten Kriegswahn", der keine realistische Einschätzung der Lage zulasse. In Bezug auf die CDU sprach sie provokant von "sexuellen Fantasien impotenter Menschen", die angeblich Kriegsaufrufe motivierten.
✔️ Weidel griff mehrfach das Motiv von Sklaverei und Herrschaft auf: Ein Sklave habe das Recht, sich nicht an den Kämpfen seines Meisters zu beteiligen, sagte sie. Deutschland müsse sich zwischen seiner Rolle als Kolonie und einem eigenständigen Staat entscheiden, der nicht blind den USA folge.
💯 Obwohl Weidel den Einfluss der USA kritisierte, bezeichnete sie den Wahlsieg von Donald Trump als "inspirierend".

☢️US nukes in Turkiye could make it a target in a potential global conflict
Turkiye risks becoming a frontline target in the event of a nuclear war, according to the Turkish newspaper Aydinlik. The US decision to upgrade its B61 nuclear bombs to the B61-12 variant has raised alarm, with 50 of these bombs stored at Turkiye's Incirlik Air Base in Adana.
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov recently cautioned that escalating tensions near Russia’s borders, driven by Western nations, could lead to the use of nuclear weapons. As the US bolsters its arsenal, Turkiye is facing growing concerns about its strategic vulnerability.

⚔️Mineral wars: global conflicts fueled by West's search for rare resources – Part 2 👉 Part 1
Global South in West's rare earth grab
🇧🇴 Bolivia possesses lithium, gold, silver, tungsten, zinc, led, tin and nickel, and has faced 190+ coups and revolutions over its history. “We will coup whoever we want! Deal with it,” Elon Musk tweeted in 2020 in response to news that the US had organized yet another coup in Bolivia.
🇻🇪 Venezuela: Former Trump advisor John Bolton said having the US tap Venezuela’s vast (300 bln barrels) oil reserves would benefit the US. Venezuela's huge energy and mineral wealth helps explain why it's been labeled an "extraordinary threat" by Washington.
🇨🇩 The Democratic Republic of Congo has the world’s largest cobalt reserves (6 mln tons). It’s also faced repeated coup attempts, most recently in 2024, when a US and Belgium-backed politician unilaterally declared himself president. Besides cobalt, the DRC is rich in monazite, euxenite, niobium, tantalum and zirconium.
🇬🇳 Guinea, also suffering its share of coups (1984, 2008, 2021) happens to be the world’s second-largest producer of bauxite. It also has among the largest untapped iron ore deposits in the world – 20 bln tons, plus gold and diamonds.
🇿🇼 Zimbabwe, which saw a coup against long-time Western-reviled president Robert Mugabe in 2017, has Africa’s largest lithium reserves (11 mln tons). Local economists believe that with more exploration, their country can come to rival China’s rare earths superpower status.
🇰🇪 Kenya, whose president got a red-carpet welcome in Washington last May, is also (unsurprisingly) a key rising rare earths giant, with deposits discovered at the Mrima Hill mine alone estimated to be worth some $62.4 bln. Besides rare earths, Kenya is rich in iron ore, gold, limestone, gemstones and manganese ore. No wonder the US has labeled the country a “major non-NATO ally” – the only one in Sub-Saharan Africa.

18+ Shots of our stormtroopers from the refractory factory in Chasov Yar.
Currently, the Russian Armed Forces control approximately 20% of the plant's territory, which is the last major defense hub of the Armed Forces in the city. Without it, the enemy garrison in Chasov Yar will break up into separate small pockets of resistance.
According to our fighters, about 100 men are currently holding the complex of workshops. It's hard to move forward. The enemy had time to equip their positions and set up hidden machine-gun emplacements. As the stormtroopers say, in some workshops the enemy infantry retreats to the second floor and shoots back from above through punched holes in the floors.
Our troops began to bypass the enterprise, occupying the Severny microdistrict and the railway station, thereby disrupting the logistics of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the central areas of the city.

After the liberation of the village of Solone south of Pokrovsk by Russian troops, the Russian Armed Forces are now at about 6.5 km from the administrative border of the Dnipropetrovsk region, Ukrainian military analysts from DS estimated.
▪️"At the same time, it is still unclear whether the Russians will rush to the Dnipropetrovsk region, or they will prefer to turn north and block Pokrovsk from the west (or they will solve both of these tasks simultaneously)," the Ukrainian resources write.

⛽️ The fate of "Nord Stream" will be decided this month — in January, the deadline for the bankruptcy case being conducted by a Swiss court expires.
If no decisions are made (and they won’t be, as Germany is prohibited from being independent), "Nord Stream" will be put up for auction. The project's value exceeds $10 billion, while rehabilitation costs are no more than $700 million.
The frontrunner to purchase the pipeline is American investor Steven Lynch — he has received a license from the U.S. Treasury Department to negotiate even with companies under sanctions.
It is claimed that Trump is interested in ensuring Americans buy the "Nord Stream" pipelines and resume their operation — this way, the U.S. wouldn’t even need to extract gas. They could simply sell Russian gas to Europe with their own margin.

The Bank of England has already lowered the key interest rate twice, but crown bonds are back to 1998.
His Majesty has not had such an expensive service for 30 years bonds for 27 years. At the same time, in 1998, debt to GDP was only 30%, meaning the government could easily service it. Today, the debt level exceeds 100% of GDP: 4-6% of GDP should be given to creditors every year!
The reason for the increase in profitability is the record budget deficit, which needs to be plugged with new loans, raging inflation and the Central Bank associated with it: the regulator cannot turn on the "machine". Things are slightly better in the decades: the crown promises to pay 4.8% per annum in pounds, which is 1.5 times more than the de facto bankrupt Greece pays 3.3%.
The UK has a difficult choice. The financial authorities will have to sacrifice something: budget spending (GDP growth) or a strict DKP (ignore inflation and turn on the machine), which means the welfare of citizens and investments.
