Lifting Sanctions against Russia. Multiple Trump Family ties to Sanctioned Russian Former SU Oligarchs + CHINA

#TrumpCrimeFamily 

Trump properties have drawn LOTS of people with ties to Russian oligarchs / mob figures who paid cash for their units.


The proposed Trump Tower Tbilisi flies in the faces of people who have been going out to the streets of Tbilisi every night for 2+ years protesting against Russian involvement in Georgian elections.


This video cites credible numbers about how much Russia is making being able to sell oil with the easing of sanctions. Oil earnings are funding support of Iran but are not enough to salvage the war on Ukraine. Such nasty tradeoffs and RantWoman suspects that crypto and sovreign wealth funds hide even more objectionable matters. 


Such nasty tradeoffs




Oh, and Russia, China: a starving lack of wolves...out of desperation
and  RTV mouthpiece Vladimir Solovyov complaining about how dependent Russia is on China
Interesting comment about internal repression occurs when a county is in a state of weakness.
Chian debt
China buying oil from Russia but demanding massive discounts
China helps with a LNG pipeline and demands product at same prices as Russians pay.
China feeds Russia a drip feed of backing for war. Every month Russia stays in weakens Russia. China purchasing Russian gold at discounted price and paying in YUAN which can only be used for Chinese goods at inflated prices.
Road signs in Siberia in Chinese
"persecuted citizens" in others' territory.

RantWoman is collecting links that seem related hopefully for more in-depth analysis.








"If Iran had wanted a nuclear weapon, it would have gotten one a long time ago."
enriched uranium: a bargaining chip?

A bigger worry than Iran's nukes especially if the Strait of Hormuz stays closed

The "bigger worry than Iran's nukes" spin is RantWoman's 

30% of the world's fertilizer comes through the Strait of Hormuz

UN mechaism to reopen the Strait.





:the goal of the US is to get into a time machine to get back to the world before..."

And in North Korea...listen carefully

Believe the ISRAELI pressabout MOSSAD role in the deadly iran protests.

#Iran #protests #MOSSAD #palantir #SurveillanceState #GetMoneyOutOfPolitics

Rantwoman has wondered for a while whether someone outside Iran has been trying to foment the protests in Iran where thousands of people were just mowed down by the IRGC.


RantWoman does NOT like probably having guessed correctly


Friendly observation: people in Israel have universal free healthcare. US keeps shoveling cash toward Israel, no matter the human rights violations? Help RantWoman out: HOW IS THIS #AmericaFirst?


And why should the US EVER send another penny to Israel?
