These of course are russians talking to each other: (R1): Is there no one to replace you? (R2): F*ck knows, Igor. They withdrew the battalions, they will be forming one out of three since there is no people left. And no one knows if it can be formed at all. The battalions have rolled back a bit. (R1): A lot of people died? (R2): Died, and a f*ck ton of wounded. They’ll be forming now… f*ck knows, if they can form a battalion, or not. If not, who’s going to fight? Perhaps we’ll be withdrawn. Psychologists will be speaking to them for like 10 days now, since no one wants to go in anymore. Two thousand people were entering, now I’m telling you if 500 people remained then that’s good. https://wartranslated.com/intercepted-calls-by-gur-23-24-july/ Lots of great intercepted calls on this site. https://wartranslated.com/

Poland and the Baltic countries understand the situation. Prime Minister Kaja Kallas of Estonia: "I think a fundamental mistake was made after the Second World War," she said, sitting beneath a painting of Moses receiving the Ten Commandments. "While the Nazi crimes were widely condemned, the communists' crimes never were. So we see a strong revival of Stalinism right now in Russia. Seventy percent of Russians support Stalin, despite his having murdered 20 million people, despite the deportations, the prisons camps, war, everything. History books in Estonia were rewritten after communism, whereas Russians are still being taught the same history that we had to read during the Soviet period, which was total crap." https://news.yahoo.com/estonias-pri...nt-worry-about-putins-feelings-223606146.html

She's right that a debt crisis is on the way. However her solutions are the wrong approach. For all those who don't understand the importance of Bitcoin (and sound money) that no government or entity can control - this is the perfect test case.
