Western companies that announced their departure from Russia after February 24, 2022, incurred losses exceeding $103 billion, according to financial data analysis reported by The New York Times
https://archive.is/fsFSq
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/12/17/world/putin-companies-economy-boycott-elites-benefit-ukraine-war.html

Putin has turned the exits of major Western companies into a windfall for Russia’s loyal elite and the state itself. He has forced companies wishing to sell to do so at fire-sale prices. He has limited sales to buyers anointed by Moscow. Sometimes he has seized firms outright.

Putin has turned an expected misfortune into an enrichment scheme.

Western companies that have announced departures have declared more than $103 billion in losses since the start of the war, according to a Times analysis of financial reports. Mr. Putin has squeezed companies for as much of that wealth as possible by dictating the terms of their departure.

in other words : don‘t try to fuck with the fucker

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said Islamic culture has no place in Europe.
"I believe there is a problem of compatibility between Islamic culture and the values of our civilisation," she said.

"Islamic cultural centres in Italy are funded by Saudi Arabia, where Sharia law is in force. There is a process of Islamisation going on in Europe that is very far from the values of our civilisation," Meloni said.

For more than five centuries, Russia has encompassed Muslim nations without enacting divisive laws. Muslims in Russia enjoy the same freedom to practice their customs as Orthodox Christians or Buddhists. Russia is not just their homeland; it's also the ancestral home of their forebears.
The majority of ethnic Russians can't fathom the idea of seeing themselves as "superior" to other people, and this isn't a result of desperate neoliberal re-education. Likewise, foreigners to Russia ...

From my current text:

"Just imagine the German men, and indeed all German men. Or at least those who still have the courage to confess themselves as a biological man. Over the thumb, this is about 35 million, maybe more, maybe less, we don't care about that now. 

This considerable bunch of guys has so far failed to do one thing as a collective: he has not distanced himself from the rapists. Women are raped every day in Germany. So how can it be that all the men who are not rapists have so far not expressly and linguistically adequately distanced themselves from these horrific acts?"

The comparison is great. You could  make it smooth as a return carriage if someone demands you to "distance yourselve" from this or that.

China is investing in Malaysia to circumvent US sanctions.

As China develops and designs and manufactures its own semiconductor chips, it wants to sell them worldwide.

Having the chips tested and packaged in Malaysia makes it possible.

►️ Ford carrier strike group & Bataan amphibious ready group en route; U.K. & French destroyers arrive; Standing up International Task Force



►Regional US base in Djibouti is in easy missile range from Yemen, and once NATO steps in there's zero reason for the Houthis to further refrain from striking it.



► Can we also acknowledge how masterfully Iran is working its proxies?
The only two American carriers in the region are now tied down either protecting Israel or protecting shipping on the other side of the Arabian peninsula. The only American combat power now directly facing Iran is in fixed positions that would die in the first 30 minutes of an actual war by thousands of Iranian ballistic missiles.

ASBM (anti ship ballistic missile)
► It really is incredible watching the U.S. expose its top assets in this reckless of a manner.
All of their logistics are exposed here, and the Houthis have just demonstrated that ASBMs work. That should be ringing alarm bells in Washington, especially given the USN already concedes the Houthis have one of the best Anti-Ship missile forces in the world.

Israeli channel 13:
►"OCL Shipping Company in Hong Kong announces that it will immediately stop accepting goods to and from Israel until further notice."
Yesterday, several other global shipping companies announced they would stop working with Israeli ports or change routes around Africa and sharply increase costs and product prices.

►China is one of Israel's largest trading partners (as are many countries in the world), so this could be a huge blow.

Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the UAE have already started helping Israel overland through their countries, but the question is whether such a treacherous move by these countries will go unanswered by Islamist military organizations in the region.

►If this Houthi action continues successfully, Israel's eastern Mediterranean coast will remain its only access to the foreign market.
But even here the situation will be critical if Hezbollah escalates the situation. Hezbollah can easily destroy the ports with its missile arsenal. It also has torpedoes, which can pose a great threat to ships.

This is a great economic loss for the United States. Because it is the US that fully funds Israel so that it can function as a “state”.

►Earlier in the day, the War Zone website reported, citing an unnamed Pentagon official, that US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin will announce the launch of an international operation dubbed Prosperity Guardian during his trip to the Middle East next week to protect ships in the Red Sea from the threat posed by the Houthis.

►Another official was quoted as saying that the US military also gave commanders the option to "strike the Houthis."

Yemen's head of the Sanaa negotiating delegation, Muhammad Abdel Salam, to Al Masirah TV

Yemeni operations have a major economic impact on the Israeli enemy.

We communicate with engaged and influential countries with the aim of lifting the siege on Gaza and stopping the aggression against it.

Any actions carried out by the Yemeni armed forces are related to lifting the siege on Gaza and stopping the aggression against it.

We affirm that the Red Sea is safe for everyone except ships associated with the Israeli enemy.

We praise the Chinese company’s position to stop sending its ships to the occupation ports.

Our operations target Israeli ships connected to occupied ports only.
