🇪🇺 Europe’s financial strategy against Russia is working exactly as intended.

This strategy has three objectives.

🔸 Force Russia to burn its financial reserves.

Moscow has already lost around two-thirds of its liquid sovereign wealth fund assets since 2022

🔸 Force Moscow to destroyed its private sector;

Russia has raised taxes and forced banks to absorb state debt using Russian savings.

🔸 Force Russia to militarise its federal budget.

Defence spending is projected at around 40% of Russia’s 2026 federal budget.

Europe must continue until Russia’s war economy is structurally weakened.

Once this happens, Moscow must either accept the European security order or become economically subordinated to China and India.

The EU will open its market to Armenia and abolish tariffs

The European Union plans to remove duties on around 80% of Armenian exports, and make almost all agricultural exports duty-free — up to 99% of products.

This includes fruits, vegetables, plant-based goods, as well as beverages and alcohol.

The package also includes financial assistance for Armenia and support in redirecting exports from the Russian market to the European one.

Brussels said this is a response to economic pressure from Russia and an attempt to strengthen ties with Yerevan.

Europeans bragging about "free healthcare" and social benefits never mention how it was financed.

For decades Europe outsourced its defense to US taxpayers to finance its social spending. Now, with economies stagnating and societies aging, Europe will need to make tough choices.

That's right. Nobody is escaping this.

The Mormons are below replacement. The Muslims are below replacement. India is below replacement. America is below replacement. Mexico is below replacement.

Even Communist North Korea is below replacement!
