Oh so true Zindernauf, Marat …… to which I’ll add as a buttress to that which you opine.. by all means do so… be proud of The Russian Federation, you have every right to be for it is written, long written a long time ago in the only book used for true self development, as relates directly to the warmongers, those who are filled with greed and avarice that covet death, destruction, injury, bloodshed, who orchestrate to profit from the very same, or who simply “get off” knowing they have perpetrated such psychotic endeavour as they coalesce together, continue the agenda to feed what seems with each passing decade an insatiable hunger of the evil they worship…. of the demonic… Balaam, Balac, Moloch.
Given what I am sharing below was written ever so long ago, the text seems almost prescient, poignant, construed as being ever so applicable, indeed, it could be opined, what has been written by Paul/Saul is exactly that which many of us endure and are expected to abide in these latter days… whether one believes or not, is faithful, agnostic, atheist…. it matters not, the true genesis of the following as wast written millennia ago, is that it summarises ever so succinctly and seemingly more apt, with each passing hour, with each day… underscoring it is more than fare to say, all that we have in recent decades been expected to simply accept, to abide, as we witness much of that which was written so long ago, play out before us…
Simply put, it’s a historical account of letters Paul, a prophet, he who had a true Damascene moment, who achieved and was given Sainthood had written as related to events unfolding and to which he and many others alike him, who shared his beliefs were exposed and subjected unto… just as we today and upon reflection, in recent years have been expected to simply accept and as noted.. to merely abide and who was it that said “history repeats”.
Whoever that statement is attributable unto, was bang on… [ The quote "history repeats itself, first as a tragedy, second as a farce" is famously attributed to Karl Marx. Other notable figures like Mark Twain ("history doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes") and George Santayana ("those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it") are also associated with the theme of history's cycles, notes the Ohio Wesleyan University and the Smithsonian American Art Museum.

Hence it appears, we live it seems… in times of gross malfeasance, of a negligence borne of an heretofore in our living memories, of the truly inane, of a contagion of genuine leadership immorality, of a shared by our so called, political elites… of a genuine wanton “lust for death, injury, destruction” a lust that has only grown amongst our supposed liberal globalist leaders as relates these latter days, that date back to the bombing of the Balkans, whilst many could rightfully and properly suggest you can go back to the Napoleonic Wars, the Zulu Wars, the many Genocides in Africa, West Asia, within and especially the America’s with the destruction of so many indigenous populaces, from the Eskimo in the northern reaches of North America, all the way down into the interior and hinterlands of the North American continent..
Many however would opine that if one considers all events since the late 1800’s indeed from throughout the 19th Century, that humanity has been at war with itself ever since… being so on an ever uglier basis, each kinetic conflagration worse than the previous experienced, made ever more so by a willing and complicit political class whilst their constituents are not much better, many being tired, not just figuratively but actually as they try to sustain their existence that has them all but captured, no time to spend truly looking in order to satisfy questions an individual might have in order to ensure they properly align and square with that which they are being force fed… we live in a world, in an existence whereby each passing decade brings upon us more war, death, destruction than the previous… all being the consequences of contrived and orchestrated wanton bloodshed feeding a bloodlust that ought not exist save for the evil that pervades our existence.. thus I now refer to one far more qualified than I to summarise, doing so as follows…
From Paul’s Epistle to The Romans…1
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
Who 28 ***And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;***
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
From the very same 1st Epistle Ch 3..
3:11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
13 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:
14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:
15 Their feet are swift to shed blood:
16 Destruction and misery are in their ways:
17 And the way of peace have they not known:
Now before the agnostic and atheists amongst us get twisted over what has been presented above by way of biblical scripture, take a deep breath, step back from your abyss and take your hand off of it.. the go button, and think of the subliminal message being relayed… namely, that within the context of such as copied above… and personally speaking, I find the writings in the KJV to be ever more applicable when overlaid events we are presently and recently been exposed unto…
If nothing else, such is and remains a great exemplar of that opined upon as wast experienced and observed to have been lived at the time of writing, as had impacted those resulting the myriad events of the period as we know 34 - 70 A.D, certainly there is nothing wrong in that, quoting from a source that is known to have existed at that specific time, a time of much change in man’s world, man grappling and searching for answers to imponderables just as we have been millennia later, all being from an acknowledged author and learned scholar, a Lawyer and Citizen of Rome no less, experienced as he had lived, more importantly believed his actuality and reality to have been….
Who having viewed, witnessed and importantly.. lived as had been opined upon, thenst felt bold enough to comment upon such, all I can say is thank goodness Saul/Paul did such as to write for posterity his views, given there are scant others of such repute who have done likewise, thus his letters to the Romans stand as a testimony to that observed, his feelings and experiences of that time…
Add to the same, the fact that what is written aligns with plenty that we in the present and recent past as I have stated, have come to know, to understand, to have experienced and it all becomes … both hardly surprising but equally … most worrying.. I mean who’d have ever thought let alone guessed such would … could be so? That it seems to capture perfectly the insouciance that plagued authorities and those in power, the elites of the time, the loss of their moral compass, their lack of humanity, behavioural traits that mirror the present and the recent past.. frightening really, makes you wonder if they in their quest to dominate, rule, to ultimately subjugate, have also read the same but apply the lessons read, the lessons that have been learned to meet a totally different agenda… and that is the truly frightening aspect to it
Brilliant analysis. Marat Khairullin captures something Western analysts completely overlook - that the Special Military Operation has not only re-engineered Russia’s military-industrial complex but has also triggered an extraordinary civilizational re-awakening in the economic and maritime domains. The transformation of Russia from a so-called “gas station” to a self-sufficient energy superpower with its own tanker and insurance fleet marks the true birth of a sovereign economic order, independent of Anglo-American control.
What stands out most is that sanctions, that were intended to isolate and collapse the Russian economy, instead catalyzed it's structural independence. By forcing the creation of the Svoboda Fleet and parallel financial systems, the West accidentally dismantled centuries of maritime dominance built by London and reinforced by Washington. Russia has effectively merged its continental depth with maritime reach which is something few powers in history have achieved.
The larger insight here is that multipolarity is not just military or diplomatic but also logistical, industrial and infrastructural. By mastering the arteries of global trade like shipping, insurance and finance, Russia now competes in the very domains that once defined the empires of the sea. The “gas station” has become a global energy-logistics power and that may prove a more decisive victory than any battlefield success.
Western leaders know best how to destroy their own countties/economies.
Honestly, I haven't seen anything this inconpetend. One country let's the other bomb their gas pipeline and doesn't even want to protest/reinstall it despite the fact that it's manufacturing/producing industry collapses. Mass immigration of people that are difficult to integrate into society and labour markets, spending billions on a war that is lost, losing access to cheap resources because everyone says Russia is bad.... I mean I could continue with this list the whole day... I'd laugh if it wasn't so sad.
It should be added, just for the sake of completeness, that the Russian Freedom Fleet mostly does *not* sail under the Russian flag. In the latest Western attempt of fighting the laws of nature, according to Bloomberg, the "EU Eyes Sanctions on Fake Flags Used by Russia Shadow Oil Fleet". ROFL!
Very nice article, and immensely informative. Thanks so much!
Incidentally, I don't think the USA or the UK can still be considered "maritime powers". Neither, as far as I know, has a significant merchant marine of its own - I believe that China outbuilds the USA by something ridiculous like 200 to 1 or more, and the UK even more.
Nor are the US and UK navies the forces they were. The US Navy still has a formidable submarine force (according to Andrei Martyanov), but of course today all surface warships are simply targets. The UK has two absurd aircraft carriers and a few frigates, but is absolutely not a naval power. It can't even keep hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants from crossing the "English Channel" in rubber dinghies!
What a marvellous article! It is so encouraging and positive to see all these figures. Reading and seeing interviews with people like Glenn Diesen, Alexander Mercouris, Jacques Baud, others on Dialogue Works give us information and opinions, but your knowlege and clarity go right to the sort of detail that others cannot necessarily provide. I read your reports daily!!!
Other than a few statistics I know next to nothing about the Russian oil industry. Even so I was able to determine on my own that whatever attacks Ukraine was mounting, it wasn't making a difference. As a foreigner, you just have to google 'Russian petrol prices' and you'll get a wealth of statistics including historical numbers, on what Russians are paying at the pump for diesel and car gas.
There is no shortage of fuel in Russia. Prices are stable at the pump, rising only in step with the general inflation rate.

Just saying
Kia Kaha (stay strong) From New Zealand
God Bless Russia
Marat, does Russia have any strategy about national transportation corridor, national energy grid corridor, urban planning.
Russia rises, Europe collapses. Slava Russia
'But if Russia
1:15:47 allowing NATO to install defense industrial capacity in western Ukraine
1:15:52 and to bring weapons in and stockpile them, warehouse them there so they can keep feeding them into the front, you
1:15:58 know, that lends itself to another conclusion. Um, and then the answer came this week and it just blinding flash of
1:16:06 the obvious. Um, what Russia did was create the perception of a safe haven in
1:16:12 western Ukraine. Uh see if Russia had acted decisively early on these
1:16:17 warehouses, these defense industrial facilities would have been built in NATO
1:16:23 um as they were early on. You know, they were doing the rehab facilities, everything was being done in NATO and
1:16:28 that's untouchable. Uh gives Ukraine the strategic depth, but NATO was seeking to
1:16:34 push this stuff into Ukraine. But in order to do that, you have to create the perception that Western Ukraine is
1:16:39 strategic depth for Ukraine. And then the West deposited hundreds of
1:16:45 billions of dollars worth of resources, weapons, warehouses, facilities,
1:16:51 defense, industrial facilities, uh the whole thing jammed into the west. Um and
1:16:57 now it's this capability that the British in their keep Ukraine in the fight uh are emphasizing this is now
1:17:05 made it easy. All NATO has to do is provide the money and they can rapidly ship weapons into the holding uh cells
1:17:13 in western Ukraine and this war can go on forever. We can keep Ukraine in the fight. Except last week Russia took them
1:17:19 out. Russia came in and said, "Oh, you guys thought that the Patriots in Western Ukraine had a 60% intercept
1:17:26 rate. Try six." And they just blew up these facilities and they're going to continue to blow them up. All that 1:17:32
investment is gone. And now you see the desert. The day that happened, did you see what Zalinski did after saying,
1:17:39 "We're going to strike Russia deep. We're doing that." He said, "I need a ceasefire in the air right now." Because
1:17:46 he just woke up and said, "I lost everything." And NATO can't replicate that. There isn't a plan B. There's no
1:17:52 NATO facilities that can replace this. They're gone. And this is the reality that Europe's
1:17:58 waking up to right now, that there ain't nothing they can do about this. Russia just dramatically changed the calculus
1:18:05 of this uh game. Which is why all of a sudden Usku was like, "Yeah, yeah, we're we're we're talking. I think I think
1:18:13 there's going to be a peace deal." Well, why? Because Europe doesn't have any cards left. Trump dumped everything on
1:18:19 Europe. Europe's plan was predicated on being able to transfer weapons to a
1:18:24 Western Ukrainian safe haven and have defense industry work that up in there. That's gone. Europe has no plan B.
1:18:32 And they're all sitting there just swinging in the wind right now. And Russia's like, "Yeah, oh that pro that
1:18:38 northern picroka offensive you guys did, it's over. We won. Uh you're all dead
1:18:43 and we've resumed the offensive there. Uh that drone wall you built, all the drone operators that operate, they're
1:18:49 dead. We killed them all and we've reasserted drone dominance." '?
