Why Russia′s economy is unlikely to collapse even if oil prices fall (The Guardian)

Hopes that tougher sanctions and lower oil prices could derail Putin's war effort underestimate how far the Kremlin has rewired its economyPacing inside the Kremlin last weekend, as news feeds churned out minute-by-minute reports of Donald's Trump's Venezuelan coup, Vladimir Putin may have been wondering what it would mean for the price of oil.Crude oil has lubricated the Russian economy for decades – far more than gas exports to Europe – and so the threat of falling oil prices, prompted by US plans for control of Venezuela's rigs, will have been a source of concern.

Germany's Conversion To Planned Economy, War With Russia As Driver
Submitted by Thomas Kolbe
The president of the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, Moritz Schularick, makes no secret in an interview with the Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung that the signs are pointing toward a war economy. It is bizarre to witness how economists succumb to the intellectual mediocrity of central planning.
Professor Moritz Schularick, president of the Kiel Institute for the World Economy (IfW), seems to have found the ultimate solution to Germany's economic problems. In conversation with the Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung (NOZ), the economist complained about a leadership vacuum in German arms policy. He sees it as central to an active industrial policy that could lead Germany out of its economic woes. Schularick expects that arms production will act as a, in his own words, “job booster.”
He said literally: “If we want Europe to truly stand on its own in defense soon and not remain dependent on the MAGA-USA, the...

Russia On Paris Ukraine Summit: Western 'Peacekeeping' Troops Would Be "Legitimate Combat Targets"
Authored by Dave DeCamp via AntiWar.com,
The Russian Foreign Ministry on Thursday repeated its long-standing objection to troops from NATO countries deploying to Ukrainian territory as part of a potential future peace deal, as Ukraine and its Western backers continue to push the idea.
"The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs warns that the deployment of military units, military facilities, warehouses, and other infrastructure of Western countries on Ukrainian territory will be classified as foreign intervention, posing a direct threat to the security of not only Russia but also other European countries," Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said.

Three Takeaways From Trump's Seizure Of A Russian-Flagged Tanker In The Atlantic
Authored by Andrew Korybko,
The overarching trend is that the US is militarily reasserting its historical “sphere of influence” over the Americas, and enforcing the maritime component of “Fortress America” is so important for Trump 2.0 that it's willing to rubbish the “rules-based order” over it and even risk an accidental war with Russia.
The Russian-flagged Marinera tanker was just seized by the US in the Atlantic. It was earlier named the Bella 1 and is under US sanctions due to connections to Hezbollah. It sailed under the Guyanese flag from Iran to Venezuela and attempted to break the US' blockade. It failed, turned around, changed its name to the Marinera, and received a temporary permit to sail under the Russian flag before being seized. Russian then demanded that its citizens on board be treated humanely and returned home.
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth posted that “The blockade o...

Qatari Embassy Damaged In Russian Drone Strike, Doha Shrugs
We earlier detailed yet another massive overnight Russian strike on Ukraine - including on the capital and the Western city of Lviv, the latter which was hit with a nuclear-capable hypersonic ballistic missile.
More details have emerged Friday as emergency crews assess the damage in Kiev. Notably the Embassy of Qatar in Kyiv appears to have been directly hit, likely by a drone, or else possibly from missile debris.
Residential building struck in overnight attack, via Ukrainian govt handout.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha was the first to announce and confirm that the embassy suffered damage, though without casualties to diplomatic staff or personnel.
Sybiha blasted the Russian attack as a "clear violation of the Vienna Convention" and said Moscow's "brutality" is without bounds, and offered the Zelensky government's full support for Qatar.
Alongside this, Sybiha once again called on NATO to urgentl...

Russia Thanks Trump For Releasing Two Russian Crew From Seized Tanker
Even though the Ukraine war is on a trajectory of escalation, which has included Russia launching a hypersonic ballsitic missile overnight on the western city of Lviv, the United States and Moscow are still finding small areas of understanding and cooperation - keeping the window for improved bilateral relations open. Russia-EU relations have spiraled and are essentially broken, but there's yet still at least a glimmer of hope that ties with Washington could soften or even turn around.
Russia confirmed Friday that the United States had agreed to free two Russian crew members from a Russian-flagged oil tanker seized earlier this week. The vessel Marinera is alleged to be part of the so-called shadow fleet transporting oil for countries including Venezuela, Russia and Iran - and it was intercepted a day ago by the US in the North Atlantic after escaping the southern Caribbean off Venezuela.
It was surprising that the ship wa...
