If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

Zelensky is now publicly pushing FREYA, Ukraine's own anti-ballistic project previously discussed only by Shtilerman. A cheaper, mass-producible Patriot alternative. First meeting with industry leaders in France coming soon. Patriot queues are too long, so Ukraine is building its own, he says.

A Russian military analyst claims Flamingo production is growing fast, with Ukraine holding 90 units by early July vs 64 in June. European engineers are working to extend range from 2,500-3,000 km to 4,000-4,500 km, enough to reach Krasnoyarsk or Irkutsk, the analyst claims.

📈Russians brace for accelerated price increases due to the fuel crisis

In the coming month, prices for basic products, goods, and services will rise faster than before – this is the answer chosen by 49% of respondents surveyed by the Public Opinion Foundation (FOM) on July 3–5.

A month earlier, 35% responded this way, a lower proportion than those who thought prices would rise "the same as before" (40%, now 31%).

Expectations of price increases are now even higher than after the war began. In March 2022, inflation was 7.6%, but quickly declined (1.56% in April, 0.12% in May). The last time expectations were as high as now was in November 2021, and worse during the COVID-19 lockdowns (50% in March-April 2020).

The situation has changed dramatically in a month. In May, inflation was only 0.17%, but it accelerated sharply from mid-June due to soaring fuel prices.

🇨🇳 China has offered Russia assistance in the fields of loitering munitions, air defense, and artificial intelligence, - The Insider, Der Spiegel, and Le Monde.

China wants Russia to test these technologies in Ukraine and share the results with Beijing. China has involved Russia in a program to counter Elon Musk's Starlink by directly destroying satellites.

According to the investigation, China should supply Moscow with microchips and electronics.

More of the same ol' blah, blah, blah!

Like I've said before, I don't think that the Russians' nuclear weapons actually work anymore, based on what we've seen with the rest of their military incompetence, corruption, and piss-poor maintenance.  The warheads and bombs do have a shelf-life after all, and require constant tender-loving care.  And the last time they actually tested one underground was in October 1990.

So all that saber rattling rings hollow.

More of the same ol' blah, blah, blah!

Like I've said before, I don't think that the Russians' nuclear weapons actually work anymore, based on what we've seen with the rest of their military incompetence, corruption, and piss-poor maintenance.  The warheads and bombs do have a shelf-life after all, and require constant tender-loving care.  And the last time they actually tested one underground was in October 1990.

So all that saber rattling rings hollow.

The amazing thing to me is to hear your average Russians being interviewed being completely OK with Russia using nukes against Ukraine.  Their contempt for the Ukrainian people is on the same level with the nazis against the Jews.  (Or Russian communists against Ukrainian Jews if you want to go back nearly a century).

Going back to Putin's words before the SMO [sic] was launched - 'Ukraine is full of nazis, criminals, and drug addicts'.  This shows why their war is waged almost exclusively against Ukrainian civilians.

Meanwhile, Russia continues to target Ukrainian civilians.  How Stalin-esque!

❗️Tragically, a critically injured man has passed away in the hospital.
The death toll from the russian guided aerial bomb strike on Sumy has risen to five, including 13-year-old girl.

The number of injured has risen to 30. Currently, five people are in critical condition. Medics are providing all necessary care to everyone.

A rule of thumb: whenever the international media suddenly fills up with stories quoting anonymous senior Kremlin sources insisting that Russia isn't even thinking about stopping, that Ukraine's front is just about to collapse, that Russia is stronger than ever, its economy is booming so much Putin is considering nukes and invading the Baltics, and that all those strikes on its oil industry and the resulting fuel collapse have only made Russians even more determined to wage war forever like Tsar Peter...

...it usually means the Russians have just gotten their asses handed to them somewhere.

Makes sense. Smaller vessels capable of transporting refined fuels up river or into canal systems, including tugs moving barges are key to providing some relief to refinery shortfalls for military or civilian use.

The refinery hits are starting to be felt by the population, and that will cause the narrative to be questioned and unrest.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

📈Amid the fuel crisis, the prices of basic products are starting to rise for Russians, — The Moscow Times.

Food problems may also arise due to a shortage of diesel, which is needed by farmers.

Meanwhile, Tajikistan, which has been buying fuel from Russia, is also facing a shortage. The energy minister said that the country's oil reserves will last only two months.
