Chay Bowes, Irish Journalist, Analyst and Correspondent Showing you the real Russia 🇷🇺
Suggesting that Russians are targeting civilians in Ukraine just doesn't add up.
Because if they did, Kiev would look like Gaza by now.
The lies have a certain shelf life until reality dawns.
The Ukrainians are losing more men and vehicles than the Russians, but nobody wants to talk about it.
Meanwhile, the Western media tells you Ukraine is winning just because they struck an oil refinery in St Petersburg.

The aggression continues.

Demand from foreign countries for US government debt is now failing to keep up with the rapid growth of US debt obligations.
Foreign government entities now hold just 12.5 percent of outstanding US Treasury bonds, the lowest share since the start of the century.
That is down 24 percentage points from the peak in 2009. Over the same period, total US marketable government debt has surged by $23 trillion, a 379 percent increase, reaching $29.1 trillion, near all time highs.
Crucially, foreign holdings of US Treasuries grew by only $1.5 trillion, or 63 percent, to roughly $3.9 trillion.
China’s holdings have fallen by more than half to $651.1 billion, the lowest level since September 2008.
Meanwhile the US continues to pile on government debt at a record pace.

Japanese experts studying counterfeit supernotes reprinted at 400 times magnification to spot any discrepancies.
These high quality fakes have long been linked to North Korea and a supposed secret outfit "Room 39" but as per usual there is no solid proof or any actual evidence of their involvement.
The notes first turned up in Manila in 1989. They have since surfaced in many places around the world. The brilliant counterfeits featured a microprint of just 0.00002381 inches high. They used paper made of 75 percent American cotton and 25 percent linen along with optically variable inks that shifted color under different lighting exactly like genuine US dollars from that era.
Criminal groups reportedly bought the notes for 30 to 50 cents on the dollar.
Interestingly, Some of the notes ended up in the possession of Chen Chang Wilson Liu. He was arrested at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas after moving nearly two million dollars in fakes through casinos over 18 months. The bills were good enough to fool the detectors on slot machines, at at cashiers desks. Liu would feed them into machines play briefly then cash out the real winnings and leave. Investigators caught him only after he sold some to an undercover FBI agent named Robert Hammer.
The alleged Room 39 also known as Office 39 or Bureau 39 has been tied to all sorts of schemes to raise money for North Korea over the years from hacking to smuggling via consulates to remote work in American firms with stolen identities. Many of these claims circulate but hard evidence often proves elusive, there are even some suggestions that the entire "Room 39" allegation is a front for US intel backed operations.
Who knows?

If NATO believes Russia is about to attack Poland, then why give all their defensive capabilities to Ukraine?
In reality, of course, Russia has zero interest in war with NATO.
It is a lie by a warmongering cabal in the EU, made up to justify stealing taxpayers' money.

The Western lie that "Russia is targeting civillians" is not only one of the most pernicious lies peddled by Kiev's pay masters, its also the most idiotic.
Russia could, of course, if it wished, wipe out the entire populations of cities and towns in Ukraine, but it hasn't.

"I'm going because of Erdoğan. He is a friend."
