Putin Recognizes Donbass Republics, Sends Russian Military to 'Denazify' Ukraine

The dollar will not be used in commercial transactions between Iran and Russia.

Iran and Russia, which reached an agreement despite US sanctions, are preparing to use their own currency instead of the dollar in bilateral trade transactions. In the context of the military conflict in Ukraine, Russia has introduced an obligation to use the ruble in energy trade and is now embarking on a new path in its agreements with Iran.

Iran's Central Bank Governor Ali Salihabadi told reporters in Tehran that important agreements had been reached between sanctions-fighting Tehran and Moscow in banking, finance and economics.

At least we can use our dollars to help us keep warm this winter. :P

They want to accelerate the collapse.
Regarding Nordstream 1, besides the collapse, maybe Gasprom says that preemptively because they know that Nordstream 1 is under consideration as a terrorist object by people with an interest in destabilizing Europe, or someone who is not satisfied with Germany and others buying gas in Russia, or someone who thinks gas and energy in Europe is still too cheap, or someone who thinks Germany has not supported Ukraine enough. Or it may be because they think some changes will happen in the Russian approach to the war, for instance if Kaliningrad is not opened up due to Lithuania and the US.

Whatever they may be thinking, they are not thinking in terms of their citizens in an already dire situation.

Without gas, no electricity as well.

As much as Germany has migrated other energies - solar energy will not be of much use in the following months, it is not compensated and - I assume - that is why news like this comes out....‘The situation is more than dramatic’: Germany is rationing hot water and turning off the lights to reduce natural gas consumption

Rationing hot water?

This week, a city official in Hamburg—Germany’s second-largest city—warned that “warm water could only be made available at certain times of the day in an emergency,” forecasting the possibility of a severe natural gas shortage. And on Friday, residents in the eastern German state of Saxony were told by their housing association that they could take hot showers only between 4 a.m. and 8 a.m., 11 a.m. and 1 p.m., and 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. each day, the Financial Times reported.
I may be imagining things but, unless things work differently than in other countries... here in Mexico each house/apartment has its own gas tank and each family "rations/saves" itself with the use of gas or electricity.

The article mentions that the association of houses are practically the ones who will deliver? at different times.

Question... Do the German apartments/houses have their own boiler?..... Or, is it just one? It must be very powerful to supply hot water to all of them at those times? Isn't it dangerous for hot water to circulate in the pipes - longer than in a single house?..... Besides, if the temperature drops, the water will reach the last house already cold.

But it turns out that it will not only be for bathing, gas will also be used to prepare/heat food. Yes, many households may be able to heat it in a microwave oven, but not all food is microwaveable.

It seems to me that they will also be able to heat/prepare food within the shower schedule.

I get the impression that the food industry will also be rationed either by gas or electricity. They would not produce the same. Just to clarify, I haven't read anything that specifies this, though.
 
Rationing hot water?

German leaders have the solution for the German pleb:

"Just wash these 4 areas if you want to make Putin angry"

Germany's social advertising offers citizens not to wash completely, but only to rinse certain parts of the body with water. "It is worth saving water for freedom", they say in Germany. Because to have hot water, you need energy and since it seems that the EU has decided, masochistically, to continue to ban Russian energy...

I do really need this emoticon 🙄

No soap? No washing hair?... Of course they do not use a woman clipart, impact would be greater.

Water for freedom?... How many Germans believe this BS?

I don't know how the Germans have organized heating, but in Denmark many areas have centralized heating, which means one unit, or a couple of units produce warm water and heating for a whole town. If you move out in the countryside, or in small villages, each household have their own heating system. Even in smaller towns, buildings with many flats have their central heating, and then the bills are shared according to consumption.

In Ukraine in the 90ies, there wasn't hot water all the time, nor water. As many Ukrainian have fled Ukraine, maybe a few will have experienced something similar and can teach the people in Germany what to do. If electricity becomes erratic, they might share the insight of emigrants from poorer backgrounds. It does not take long to adapt, and then you have a new normal.

I don't know how many Germans will believe the propaganda, but were you surprised how many followed the story about needing to wear a mask and get vaccinated? Extrapolating, there could be many "followers" all across EU-NATO, but we can wait and see.
 
"Putin: this is the beginning of the transition from liberal-globalist American egocentrism to a truly multipolar world. A world not based on selfish rules for no other reason than the pursuit of hegemony. Nor on hypocritical double standards, but on the basis of international law and the genuine sovereignty of peoples and civilizations."

"MOSCOW, July 14. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a law on provision of counter-terrorism and other operations of Russian Armed Forces, other forces, counter-terrorism and other operations units abroad. The document has been published on the official legal information website Thursday.

"The law gives the Russian government power to introduce special economic measures. It also allows state clients - Ministry of Defense, Ministry of Emergency Situations, National Guard, Federal Security Service and Federal Protective Service - to expand or reduce the volume of goods and services within their contracts."

"The special governmental measures also include "unlocking of state reserve assets, temporary engagement of mobilization capacities and facilities." In case of introduction of special measures, companies regardless of their type and ownership are not allowed to reject state contracts "on shipment of goods, fulfillment of works, and provision of services in order to ensure counter-terrorism and other operations, carried out by Russian Armed Forces, other forces, militias, counter-terrorist and other agencies beyond the Russian Federation.".
