But woe if we laugh at the wrong "jokes". We no longer need to wait for fascist methods, they are already there.

More life gas is good for life, who would have thought that?

The earth is getting greener and greener. By this I do not mean politics or energy production, fortunately.

"THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN MASSACRES if it wasn't for Russia,
says Medvedev about Georgian-South Ossetian 2008 attacks,
stressing that Moscow's intervention prevented further killings and tragedy.

"A lot of people had already been killed, our peacekeepers beaten. Russia could not leave this without retribution.
Main thing is to prevent further victims.
Since then, there has been a lasting peace on the territory of South Ossetia and Abkhazia, which is provided by Russia"

Here is a nice (well quite horrible actually) article to put those words in perspective: https://www.sott.net/article/483680-Organ-trafficking-paedophile-networks-The-hell-of-children-abducted-by-Ukraines-White-Angels
"At the conference, Vassily Prozorov, a former employee of the SBU (Ukrainian intelligence services) explained that one of his investigations had revealed that some of the children abducted by Ukraine are sent to paedophile networks in Great Britain, via a whole network of Ukrainian and British officials or former officials who work together. At the heart of it all is one man, Sergei Borissov, a former SBU agent who was arrested in 2020 for kidnapping entrepreneurs for ransom! Strangely enough, he and his entire gang were released on bail in 2021, and here he is again, trafficking Ukrainian children to the UK! On the British side, members of MI6 and the Foreign Office are involved."

A huge explosion in the center of Khratoum in Sudan

On Saturday, huge explosion rocked, the center of the Sudanese capital, as a result of an aerial bombardment
of a fuel depot located under the control of the Rapid Support Forces, near Khartoum Airport.
The sources pointed out that "the burning warehouse is adjacent to a weapons store for the Rapid Support Force.

The army bombed the target belonging to the Rapid Support Forces,
in the center of Khartoum, and in the vicinity of the Republican Palace.

The Rapid Support Forces responded from their positions in Khartoum,
by bombing sites they believe belong to the Sudanese army in central Omdurman.

UAE provides weapons to the RSF... the military junta blows them up.

Ethiopia is a new member of the BRICS. For what?

 This country of 110 million Christians in the north-east of Africa is known to be the only state on the continent that has never been a Western colony.

Since the 14th century, Europeans have been invading its territory: Italians, Germans, Belgians and, above all, the British. But the Ethiopian mentality is based on patriotism. And this (together with the considerable help of the Russian Empire) helped to protect the country from the occupation.

The accession of Ethiopia to the BRICS countries is a clear signal to all African countries : the Commonwealth has no vocation to subjugate the neo-colonial territories under its jurisdiction, they come to us to demand justice and independence.

The reaction of the West is also not surprising : the Washington Post reacted very quickly to the withdrawal of an African country from the postcolonial world – the Ethiopian army is accused of rape and war crimes.

How do credit rating agencies rate a country?

The ratings are based on an evaluation of a number of macroeconomic, financial, and political variables (see table), including a country's economic growth rate, its cur- rent account balance relative to GDP, and various ratios—savings to investment, external debt to GDP, debt-service pay- ments to GDP, and interest ...

https://www.imf.org/external/pubs/ft/fandd/1997/03/pdf/ulhaque2.pdf

Germany - Credit Rating
Standard & Poor's credit rating for Germany stands at AAA with stable outlook. Moody's credit rating for Germany was last set at Aaa with stable outlook. Fitch's credit rating for Germany was last reported at AAA with stable outlook. DBRS's credit rating for Germany is AAA with stable outlook. In general, a credit rating is used by sovereign wealth funds, pension funds and other investors to gauge the credit worthiness of Germany thus having a big impact on the country's borrowing costs. This page includes the government debt credit rating for Germany as reported by major credit rating agencies.

A debt spiral refers to a situation where a country (or firm or individual) sees ever-increasing levels of debt. This increasing levels of debt and debt interest become unsustainable, eventually leading to debt default.

Stages in debt spiral

 

•  Debt Levels increase. (This could be due to overspending, inefficient tax collection, bank bailouts or economic slowdown)
   
  
•  Markets become concerned about debt levels leading to higher bond yields (higher rate of interest)
   
  
•   Higher cost of servicing debt. Rising debt increases debt interest payments. But, also Governments have to pay higher interest payments on debt because of rising bond yields. This increases government spending even more.
   
  
•   To reduce bond yields, governments need to cut spending and increase tax.
   
  
•   Trying to reduce debt can cause a recession. The Impact of spending cuts leads to lower aggregate demand more unemployment and lower economic growth. Lower economic growth leads to lower tax revenues.
   
  
•   The shrinking economy means it is harder to meet debt repayments. Confidence falls. Bond yields remain high despite the spending cuts.
   
  
•   With a shrinking tax payments, the government struggles to meet interest payments. Also markets no longer want to buy more government debt, leading to partial or total default.
  

https://www.economicshelp.org/blog/5118/economics/debt-spiral-explained/

Sovereign default
A sovereign default is the failure or refusal of the government of a sovereign state to pay back its debt in full when due. Cessation of due payments (or receivables) may either be accompanied by that government's formal declaration that it will not pay (or only partially pay) its debts (repudiation), or it may be unannounced. A credit rating agency will take into account in its gradings capital, interest, extraneous and procedural defaults, and failures to abide by the terms of bonds or other debt instruments.

Countries have at times escaped some of the real burden of their debt through inflation. This is not "default" in the usual sense because the debt is honored, albeit with currency of lesser real value. Sometimes governments devalue their currency. This can be done by printing more money to apply toward their own debts, or by ending or altering the convertibility of their currencies into precious metals or foreign currency at fixed rates. Harder to quantify than an interest or capital default, this often is defined as an extraneous or procedural default (breach) of terms of the contracts or other instruments.

Oh shit, that's important to know and understand. Germany has quietly and secretly agreed to the amendment of the 2+4 Treaty that NATO troops may be stationed on the territory of the GDR. The whole thing happened, of course, without the consent of Russia, and, moreover, before Russia's intervention in Ukraine. 

Unfortunately, the video is only in German. Maybe Putinger's Cat will translate that for me.
