  1. 11:55 Do you suppose that perhaps the reason the US and UK are so focused on "Breaking through to Crimea" is that they desperately want Sevastopol? As a NATO naval base?

  2. 35:20 The embargo on Russian diamonds will affect the gem trade in the West and it will very badly affect the metal and stone working industries in the West. Particularly industries that are concerned with very high precision will be badly hit, as diamond cutting tools are essential to them.

  3. 15;00 Not merely did they not crash through the Russian lines and sweep all before them all the way to the Sea of Azov, but there was never the slightest sign of it happening! They got stuck almost as soon as they started and though they struggled mightily, it availed them almost nothing to write home about.

  4. 38:23 Maybe, this prohibition on trade in Russian diamonds, is designed to destroy competition to the US diamond trade? Just as the embargo on Russian Gas. destroyed the German industries and the ban on buying Russian Gas benefitted the US trade in LNG? It all seems to be in the same pattern. I even see reports, that the US is buying Russian oil to give to the Ukrainian military!

  5. 20:30 The Ukrainian MIC churning out all the weapons Ukraine needs (Including F-16s?) is not so much a fantasy as a propaganda theme. It is a determined effort to fool the ignorant and stupid. A fantasy, to be a fantasy would need to exist in the minds of the people putting it forward. Wouldn't it? Of course, for the Ukrainian MIC to build tanks, they would need lots and lots of scrap steel. They would be well placed for that!
