Sorry, but it was Obama who has won the Chamberlain waard for giving away Crimea and allowing Assad and co. To use chemical weapons. But even he is worse than Chamberlain, as the latter at least increased spending on defense and preparation for war.

The plane is from Qatar,... and Saudi Arabia is heavily investing in renewable energies, so they probably think he is just stupid, or the Americans, for whom this was said, are stupid.

A serious over simplification. As a result in Belgium and The Netherlands there is some backlash against these green energies as they do cause problems that should have, but were not predicted.

The funny thing is that Saudi Arabia is investing massively in solar and also in wind energy. Although I am sure they like the money, they probably think him quite stupid.

He seems to be rather reducing Russian male life expectancy to 50 years.

No, they just reregistered their trade mark, as otherwise any company can use it in Russia. Most international companies are doing that, it says nothing about them returning to Russia in current circumstances.

Saudi Arabia buys weapons from Israel and they share intelligence, so I doubt it will be a problem.

One Russian paper today reports that “Half of all clothes and shoe shops in Russia have shut down….[due to] drop in incomes & slowing economic growth.” Another wonders whether Russia is suffering from “economic stagnation or technical recession.” #ReadingRussia

Kazakhstan stated that their infrastructure at the Port to transport Kazach oil was operating normal. So might be that part?

The fact that in the past income on several occasions went down at least indicates some sloppiness.

Less consumption so less to transport, high fuel prices and high interest on debt.

I agree for defending critical infrastructure in Russia, but it could be used to force them to the front in Ukraine. Officially they can only fight on Russian soil, but I doubt those in charge give a damn about the law.

No, Putin is not going to give up, unless Ukranian soldiers are at the outskirts of Moscow. He knows he is destroying the Russian economy at full pace, he knows there is a demographic catastrophe coming, he knows about a million soldiers were killed, just signed for 2 million to be called up.

Well, this war will only end when Putin and co are removed from power or Ukraine losing the war, as I doubt Ukraine has the strength to capture Moscow. That leaves Russian revolting as basically the only morally correct outcome.
