There are a lot of weirdest stuff around that war.
Even if you carefully look at the recording of Putin's meeting about starting that war you will clearly see that nobody except Putin is enthusiastic about that war. Like managers getting a weird order from CEO who is bribed by shareholders to force something unusual and weird.
Also, there is article 353 in criminal code of Russian Federation with 20 years in jail for planning, preparing or starting war with another country without statute of limitation that was voted for and signed by the same people who participate in all that thing now.
Ukrainian "nationalists" issue an order for border control to not allow males from 18 to 65 to leave Ukraine. With one exception - jews are allowed to leave Ukraine without limitations.
Still no any real battles between Russian and Ukrainian armies. MSM from both sides have to use footage from other older conflicts, even from completely different locations to support propaganda. Just think - there are not enough real footage even for propaganda. They don't even mind to use photos with grass and green trees for it, thinking nobody remember that it is still winter now, and Kiev is something like Toronto by climate.
Stupidiest sanctions, harming West more than Russia. Just think - they cancel leasing contracts, so they have to pay penalty. Then, they need somehow get the planes back. Since they cancel leasing contracts they need a thousand pilots to fly the planes home. But how they plan to bring that pilots to Russian airports if they cut the flights? If they don't cancel leasing - how they suppose to receive payments from Russia? If they somehow return planes home, what will they do with them, when transportation business nearly destroyed by coronahoax, and they already have thousands of unused planes. And a cherry on the top - installments of direct Boeing sales are not affected. WTF? US want to ruin EU airspace manufacturers and owners?
Chechen thing is also weird. Even putting apart that thing with clearly anti-Russian narrative of Putin. Ukrainian pseudonationalists (there can't be a real nationalist who will support jewish government and all that NWO stuff) supported Chechens during their war against Russian federals (and no, they never fight for independence, they fight for the right to rob and racket Russians in Russian cities and clearly win). The same Chechens who with Ukrainian pseudonationalists fight against Russians in Chechnya now fight against same Ukrainian pseudonationalists they was allies with.
My theory on the sanctions is that Putin actually wanted for Russia to be taken out of SWIFT, since it already has its own alternative system, as do China and India. They use their own national currencies, while SWIFT is mostly based around the dollar. So there's likely a major upcoming financial crisis concerning one or the other (or both), and detaching from them is a precaution.
As for the other sanctions - I find them laughable at best. Especially the censorship concerning Russian media in the EU - both RT and Sputnik are getting blocked or DDoS-ed as "government propaganda"... but Pravda is completely ignored? How come? (Though maybe it's just not that popular.) Never mind just using VPN or Tor, but it's not like digital literacy has ever been a strong suit for politicians, even younger ones.
All in all, I do think we have a Wag the Dog situation unfolding, either a complete distraction or a particular spin on certain other events. I'm pretty sure Kiev is not a fun place to be in right now, but I doubt it can be properly called a war zone.
In the meantime, I just hope they don't close the Russian stores where I live. Finding good caviar is hard enough, never mind having to make my own salads.
SWIFT is just fast way of money transfers. It is not necessary for transfers at all.
Putin never did anything really harmful for NWO or even slightly against NWO narrative. Everything from mass-surveillance to tolerance shit and of course coronahoax.
RT is very interesting thing - you will never find their most interesting english articles in russian. Especially it become noticealble with coronahoax. There even was cases when russian users of Vkontakte was banned and fall under the attention of police for disinformation for translating english RT articles and posting translations on their pages.
It is not even Wag the Dog, it is like a bad modern remake of good old movie where main plot mostly replaced with gay love story, transgender problems and BLM narrative.
We have a lot of dfferent caviars - red (salmon), black (sturgeon), white (pike), other (cod, halibut, etc). Black caviar was artificially made superluxury food. You could easily buy sturgeon from local fish farms, and it is not very expensive (twice a price of salmon and three-four times chaper than tuna), so population of sturgeon already restored, but production of sturgeon caviar is prohibited by authorities. All black caviar sold here now is imported from Turkmenia or Kazakhstan and cost mindblowing $100/50gram.
