| 'There is no money left': Europe is frantically looking for options |

| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. by Elena Karaeva [RIA] When Russian assets were frozen in the West, whether public or private, when sanctions were imposed and everything that was possible under restrictions, the eyes of the globalist Atlanticists sparkled with excitement and anticipation of profits. Still, their robbery (of countries, peoples and sometimes entire continents) for many years and even centuries has been the most effective and, most importantly, the fastest source of obtaining large incomes with a minimum of effort. Now we will freeze Russian assets, and then, under the guise of "Russia's defeat," we will confiscate them and continue to dispose of the loot as we see fit. The euphoria, despite the warnings of experienced people who knew a little about Russian history, continued for more than a year and a half. And here is a cold "Charcot shower" right on the head of the collective Brussels . A shower with pressure and ice water was opened by someone from whom nothing like this European Commissiondid not expect. The European Central Bank in a memorandum that was "leaked" in the media warned that if the European bureaucrats touched not even the assets themselves, but the interest that had grown over these months, not just capital flight from the eurozone would begin (there is a depression - or rather, a recession - already has come), but the credibility of the common European currency will be undermined, which means the beginning of de-Europeanization. In other words, the euro will gradually lose its status as one of the reserve currencies. And his place will be taken. Farewell, farewell to the stability of the continent's financial system. Bankers love silence, not chatter, and even more they shy away from political PR. And it can be assumed that the publication of the contents of the confidential document is also a reaction to what was said, in particular, by French Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna, that "there are financial opportunities for the restoration of Ukraine, which will be discussed in London ." In the capital of the kingdom, the second conference on the restoration of the Ukrainian economy should begin with pomp. After the first one, held in Lugano, all the pleasant words were said to all the participants. AND? Germany , apparently anticipating something bad, announced last week that, firstly, it would not increase its contribution to the general EU budget , because "due to assistance to Ukraine, there was no money left." And secondly, if everything continues to develop like this, then kaput will come to German industry, Berlin said. Paris, sensing that at least here he could become a "Napoleon for an hour", hinted at the possibility of collecting finances. If the German budget can still be called a budget, then the French budget is when specially trained people are looking for those who would lend them. Macron likes this kind of activity - with pomp he received the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia at the Elysee Palace , he could not get around the topic of money and oil. The press reported that "the issue of influence on Russia in connection with the situation in Ukraine" was discussed. But in fact, Paris needs something else: in London, you need to at least promise to give funds to Kiev for the "recovery of the economy", but to receive money for yourself. If the German industry skiffs in the absence of Russian gas in the pipeline, then the French treasury will not be able to pay its obligations to its own citizens. And these obligations are not at all the construction of transport arteries, the creation or reconstruction of facilities that make up the infrastructure of the economy. Everything is simpler - in question, for example, the availability of the most elementary medicines in pharmacies in the coming autumn. Antibiotics, antipyretic, anti-inflammatory. Were in short supply last winter, and this will continue. Their production in France has not been established in the required volume. The problem of providing ambulances has not been resolved - emergency departments of hospitals, even in large cities, are closed and do not receive patients at night. Because there is no medical staff. So, dear patients, either endure until the morning, or die. There is a choice. An illustration of pan-European social decadence is the Marseille streets and avenues, overgrown with mud and uncollected garbage so that swimming after the rain, which washes away used diapers, used feminine hygiene products and male contraception in the sea, is regularly and regularly prohibited. The only area in the city with almost a million inhabitants, where the sidewalk is without a single speck and empty trash cans - next to the Russian consulate. Even here, our country turned out to be a winner - not only economic and geopolitical, but also civilizational. |

| #2 Europe has reduce Russian oil imports by 90%. What the Russians can sell to India and China, the price is discounted by $20/barrel compared to Brent. Not much profit left (as intended) after production costs and shipping to Russian ports. |
