We are slowing moving towards peak insanity, but still quite a way to go, I fear. Hang on to your hats…

Why plummeting oil price could finally undo Putin ‘Russia is getting billions of dollars of money from oil sales’ Kellogg said. ‘What if you drop that to $45 a barrel, which is basically the baseline break-even point’ ‘That’s how we’re going to finish this thing off. It’s not going to be done by killing each other. That’s not going to work’ Kellogg said.’ 24 Jan 2025 ‘….the timing of the sanctions works in Trump’s favor. Unlike in the immediate post-2022 period — when Joe Biden’s administration hesitated to sanction Rosneft and Lukoil for fear of fueling oil price shocks and inflation — the market outlook is now bearish. The International Energy Agency (IEA) predicts a record global oil surplus in 2026. The Russian Finance Ministry itself expects a gradual $1-per-year decline in the base oil price in the federal budget until 2030; by 2026, it expects a price of $59 per barrel.’ Russian Urals oil trades at up to $10/barrel less than Brent crude. ‘Russia’s Urals crude at Baltic ports fell below the $47.60 per barrel European Union price cap on Wednesday for the first time, pressured by a five-month low in benchmark Brent prices and higher freight costs’ ‘I used to admire him as a strong leader who brought us a better life, with stability not… Read more »

‘People in Lithuania have felt fear and understood the threat for centuries, which allows us to prepare’ says Antanaitis. “But today, as Nato and EU members, we are significantly safer.”

‘This year, Poland will invest 4.5 per cent of GDP in defence, Lithuania will allocate 4 per cent, Latvia 3.7 per cent and Estonia 3.4 per cent, all comfortably ahead of America’s 3.2 per cent – and far above Britain’s 2.4 per cent.’

….the decision of Sweden and Finland to join Nato in 2023 has transformed the situation for the better. The Baltic is now a Nato lake, with both shores of the Gulf of Finland and the approaches to St Petersburg falling inside the alliance.’

Putin has never been worried about NATO. The evidence is that the threat from Putin’s lunatic and inhuman demographic imperialist colonial war has only enhanced NATO capabilities.

Just how dumb is that?

Top marks for this as a Halloween costume team effort. They even went full ‘black face’ and everything!😆

Well, all we’ve got so far as a description of one of the attackers in this horrific mass stabbing is that the guy was black and dressed in black.
Meanwhile, in Birmingham last night, 9 arrested for launching fireworks at a bus. It’ll be Gary Neville’s “angry, middle-aged white men” again, no doubt;

The Birmingham film is horrific. I would hazard a guess the perps were probably not British, well white British.

“Two British nationals” (as confirmed just now) is more than enough for me to know the rest of their description.

I wonder if British nationality was granted earlier this morning?

Haha, was thinking the same thing! They should have a mobile citizenship unit along with a parapriest for christening.

If after having been over 13 hours in custody the authorities have released no information about the suspects, then you can be certain that you already know a lot about the suspects.

How many times in the last oh, twenty years have we seen reports of white, British males going on the rampage and engaging in err mass stabbings?

That is correct.

Police being decidedly unbothered here. Should’ve set a police dog on him. That’d sharp move his arrogant, entitled arse;

”UK: In Leeds, during a pro-Palestine protest, a Muslim migrant sets a police van on fire, climbs on another one, and starts waving the Quran to assert dominance.

The police just stand by as if it’s normal.”

I wish I could say that’s unbelievable, but it’s very believable. As a nation we’ve lost our backbone thanks to decades of being run by spineless politicians.

Horrifying accounts of how Sudan has descended into Hell

Wondering why one clown’s RSF troops massacred, raped and tortured 2000 Sudanese civilians, instead of fighting the Sudanese Army, I looked it up, and it seems that the RSF clown is not Sudanese at all, but a kind of Wealthy Arabic Gangster from Chad, whose Family of Camel Herders made a fortune from gold mining and other “activities”, and is happy to slaughter 2000 Sudanese civilians and turn thousands more into sex slaves, because they are not from his own Ethnic Arabic Chadian tribe. Perhaps he is also gathering more African slaves to work in his Arabic Camel Herder family’s gold mines?

Yet more senseless mass rapes, mass sex slavery, mass murders and forced military conscription of young boys in Africa, by Africans and Arabs.
It’s what they do.

Remind me again why we are importing all these people to the West?
