Commander of the Central Military District has been dismissed
Saturday, 29 October 2022, 19:28
Colonel-General Alexander Lapin, the Commander of the Central Military District, has been dismissed from his post.
Source: Chechen state television and radio channel, RBC, Meduza, the Russian Latvia-based media outlet
Details: On Saturday, a number of Russian media sources, including Chechen state television and radio channel and an RBC source familiar with the personnel decision, reported about Lapin's dismissal.
As Meduza noted, Lapin has recently been actively criticised by Ramzan Kadyrov, the Head of the Chechen Republic: in early October, he accused the general of surrendering Lyman and called him "talentless". According to Kadyrov, Lapin, in charge of this area of defence, did not provide the mobilised occupiers from Luhansk Oblast with the necessary means, and he allegedly "was hiding" in Luhansk.

None of those countries are going to invest in Russia. Will they buy oil and gas at deep discounts? absolutely. But will they invest in any type of Russian busines or partner with Russia on big projects? no.
After what has happened the last months you would have to be insane to do business with Russia.

Does Russia have any warships left in the Black Sea for us to sink?

I'm no economic expert, but I suspect that increased oil revenues are making all the numbers look good. If that was subtracted out, I think that Russian economy would look very different.
What NC is missing is cost to produce oil in Russia. It was $50 a barrel several years ago. They have gotten it down a bit but not below $45. Revenue and net earnings are two different things. The earnings reported are projected from Brent crude price and not after steep discounts to attract buyers.

As a comparison, what is being exported from the USA is West Texas Light not West Texas Intermediate which sells for around $75 per barrel. If memory serves me correctly it costs under $35 to produce.
So Russian crude (depends which grade) is actually net gain is around $10 per barrel net for months, it was higher in the Spring, but not since. Meanwhile the lowest grade in the US is making $40 per barrel net.
We must remember that WTI and Brent are widgets which are sets of specifications and not physical crude oil.

No. TBH, I thought Russian breakeven was slightly higher than that.
What I'm missing is how Russia lost large components contributory to its GDP, yet somehow mitigated those effects. On paper, loss of EU hydrocarbon sales, and exit of virtually all foreign corps/investment should have been devastating far beyond a 2.9% contraction.
It smells like there are players out there helping Russia, significantly. It would behoove us to identify them if they exist, or otherwise understand how Russia has sidestepped economic devastation.

Another extraordinary clip. Thanks for that. Some of these talking heads are actually starting to break with Putin in public. I did not expect to see that.

Bombing civilian infrastructure will just further galvanize support in Ukraine…. It provides no real strategic or tactical advantage.
I guess it wins you some headlines domestically, but that’s it.

These aren’t just old T-55 tanks though. They have been upgraded like a son of a bitch with western parts that make them just as good as Russia’s upgraded T-72s. These will help a lot and it’s enough to make their own special T-55 tank battalion.

Surely a sign of things going well for Russia.

Good ole Vlad Solovyov says they will put 10-15 million under rifle and take a walk across Europe.
If you note in this and many other of his rants he insinuates significant numbers of people from Europe are fighting IN Ukraine and their armies are getting ground up.

Access to the t.me domain owned by Telegram has been restricted in Russia
Saturday, 29 October 2022, 23:09
Roskomnadzor [Russian federal executive agency responsible for monitoring, controlling and censoring Russian mass media], at the request of the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation, has restricted access to the t.me domain owned by Telegram in Russia.
Source: Russian business channel RBK
Details: Access to the t.me domain owned by Telegram is limited, according to the data of the Roskomnadzor service for checking the restriction of access to websites and website pages.
The justification for the service’s inclusion in the Roskomnadzor’s register was Article 15.3 of the law on information (restriction of access to sites on the Internet that contain information with calls for mass riots, the implementation of extremist activities or participation in mass events held in violation of the established order, unreliable socially significant information).
The decision is based on the requirement of the Prosecutor General's Office of Russia dated 29 October.

I wonder why Russia blocked Telegram. I can think of several possible reasons.
Apparently, they have now taken it off the official list of blocked websites, but it's still unavailable. So, it's not officially blocked anymore, but it actually is blocked in reality.
By the way, has anyone seen BKR lately? I'm worried that Prigozhin might have decided that he wasn't trolling effectively enough and sent him to Bakhmut.

But you're arguing around the edges.
If by some estimates the present measures should have waxed 40% of Russian GDP, they're way off. Why? All I'm saying is that does not happen without under-the-table-dealing. Who is involved and how?
