I sincerely hope for all our sakes that you're wrong. But it does look grim indeed ;_;
New vaccination requirements in Russia.

Meant to say obedient ...
Good point, and that seems to be the case. Consider the way Putin has been used to great effect as the 'bete noir' for Western populations for many years.
Joe are you trying to insult me ? I did not say it is not abundant in oil or it is abundant in oil. I did not even talk about oil. And yes, ISIS controlled areas where oil is located, later on SDF-YPG captured areas with US help.
But I will give you big analysis of Syrian oil. Syria has according to estimates, about 2500 (millions of barrels) in reserves which is not too much when compared with UEA or Kuwait which have around 100 000 millions of barrels each, but much smaller population, thus much richer countries. Syria had production of around 400 000 of barrels per day in 2010. Price per barrel at that time was around 100 dollars take 20 dollars of production cost for each barrel and that is 80 dollars profit per barrel. For one year profit is (my estimate) 11 680 000 000 divided by 24 000 000 of people that is for one year 468 dollars per person. For family of 5 (in middle east you have big families), if they would actually receive this money it could be nice support for whole year. You could pay for electricity and water, certain amount of food and some other things as well.

This entry is the total oil produced in barrels per day (bbl/day). The discrepancy between the amount of oil produced and/or imported and the amount consumed and/or exported is due to the omission of stock changes, refinery gains, and other complicating factors.

Joe, I will give you a clue, ask if you want Cassiopaeans how many civilians died in Syrian civil war up until this moment and what percentage was killed by Syrian regime/Russians/Shia militias (Iraqi, Lebanese, Afghani, Pakistani). And that includes bombing by airplanes, torture in prisons, other executions. You may be surprised. Also, how many women were raped in the same war and what percentage by Syrian regime and groups fighting for it.
That's my take on this as well, including what he said about Global Warming. That was actually jaw dropping, considering his previous more carefully phrased descriptions of "climate change". And I also thought that now asking the C's if he knew or not before going to Zheneva is pretty much unnecessary. It doesn't really matter, because now we know that in effect he is supporting the measures.
Yes, he said that vaccinations should remain voluntary, and some known patriotic figures like Malofeev make sure to emphasize this point. And to be honest, it's hard not to give him benefit of the doubt or think that he may have a good reason, because he did so much for Russia. And I still have hope. But the fact is that all the draconian measures weren't really explained or criticized during the Direct Line, and he just brought up the immunization law from 1998, and that officials simply acted on that law. This doesn't bode well.
What also doesn't bode well is how he brought up Soviet Union for the comparison, and how all the vaccinations there were mandatory, and no one asked for people's opinions. As if we should be grateful that this doesn't happen now as well. In general, my impression was that during this Direct Line his replies were more curt and less "fatherly like" ("we have harsh times, and I ask you to endure and do what's necessary" or something like this), like during the previous Direct Lines. Yes, it's a manipulation, but that's what Russian people respond to, specifically the main part that supports him.
At the moment there are vague signs that perhaps some officials, particularly Duma, are more cautious and not eager to institute even harsher measures. For example, they refused to add covid vaccination to the mandatory vaccination schedule. But there are still contradictory orders, like one official says that it's not necessary to vaccinate if you had covid and have antibodies, and at the same time other officials release decrees that everyone, including those who have antibodies still need to vaccinate, etc.
Also there are some easements when it comes to tourism within Russia, after they saw that up to 70% cancelled their vacations and hotel reservations in Krasnodar region, because local governor released a decree that says that only vaccinated will be able to have a holiday in the region. They saw that they shot themselves in the foot. This region makes the most money during summer.
Bottom line is that people wanted some clarity and support from the President, especially since the prices are already rising and the measures are destroying businesses. And what they got is just a mention that while he is personally pro-free will, there is a law, and local officials can do with the law as they see fit or necessary.
What makes matters worse, that we do have pretty vocal people on both sides of the political spectrum, who are rabidly pro vaccination, so it's not a matter of political orientation anymore. Guess Joe is right, and we are on our own.

I understand what you are suggesting here, since I also thought along those lines for a while. I even went as far as suggesting that Putin knows what is going on in regard to Covid (on the human level), by dissecting some of his speeches in "minute detail". Having said that, I now think there is a good likelihood that what I was doing there was more or less wishful thinking/hoping from my side, when it comes down to Corona and what Putin does. If you leave all the assumptions about "what he knows" out of the way, his recent statements (and more so, the way he said/delivered them) leaves me with the following: He seems to have somewhat (if not completely) swallowed the Corona Kool-Aid, probably in large part because he believes in what "experts" and/or his advisers tell him. Sometimes you just have to call a spate a spate. The main reason I now think that is a good possibility, is what Andrian summarized as follows:
Putin quite clearly went out of his way in this recent example in basically parroting/reinforcing many of the propaganda points, not only in regard to Corona but also in regard to "global warming" in a way that pretty much sounds like he believes what he is saying. If we still want to go with the assumption that "Putin knows what's up there", it is hard for me to reconcile the fact that he said all those things on his own initiative in such a way. As Adrian pointed out, if Putin would really "know what is going on" you can bet that he wouldn't have said the things he said in the way he delivered them. As we have seen on many occasions, Putin is a very talented and smart diplomatic speaker and can deliver things in a roundabout way if he knows what is going on and wants to avoid backlash from the PTB at the same time. He clearly could have done that if he "would know what's up" and the fact that he didn't do this here speaks volumes to me. We have seen him being able to "tell the truth" on many geopolitical topics throughout the years, but as it seems now; Corona has caught him blindsighted. The same seems to be true for "global warming" and other topics.
It could very well be that Putin has fallen victim to some of his own blind spots.
First blind spot seems to be: Believing "experts", because "they have to know, because they are experts". Most ordinary people think the same.
Second blind spot: Believing in the advances of modern medicine; and more generally; the established health recommendations (vaccines among them). Again, most ordinary people think the same.
Third blind spot: If most people/experts around the globe say/think so, it must be so. Not only in regard to topics such as Covid but also in regard to conspiracies. Again, most ordinary people think the same.
Fourth blind spot: Psychopathology. Again, most ordinary people have no clue there as well.
Fifth blind spot: Not accounting for Hyperdimensional aspects. Again, most ordinary people have no clue there as well.
So at this point, I fully agree with Niall's summary.

I think it's still too early to tell and I'm not forming any conclusions as of yet. Putin knows how to lie when he thinks it is for the greater good.
Just 2 years ago at the International Arctic Forum he told there is no solid proof that climate change is man-made. So what changed?

'Tinfoil hat explanation': maybe the Sputnik jab he got recently did something to him?
So, as far as I can see, here are the options on the human level (excluding hyperdemensional aspects):
1: Putin caved in, in regard to Covid and global warming
2: Putin is playing a long term strategic game and at least partly "knows what's up" in regard to Covid and global warming
3: Putin believes the Covid and global warming business largely (or completely) himself
4: Putin knows what is going on in regard to Covid and global warming and has no problems telling a different story to the public, either because he doesn't care, or because he knows something we don't and thinks that is the best way to do it like that, all things considered
All things considered, I think option 3 might be the case.

We still do not have climate lockdown, or mandatory umbrellas outside, to protect us from the sun rays
The long game is to survive in the meantime, play along, wait for the Earth Changes to kick in, and after, when your opponents are weakened, and a New Dawn arises hope you come out on top?
Just guessing...
And how aware is the Russian high command of ''the thinning of the veil''? How much are they really in the know generally speaking? That's the million-dollar question.

A question comes to mind not just for Russia, but what percentage of heads of state, minister, and other valets have been seen in media photos getting vaccinated and who is there have actually been... or not ?

That bugs me too. But was he speaking to the audience here. Or did he tried to convey a message to someone else? I guess the Cabal has certain expectations of how world leaders should act on issues they deem important. If that is what is going on ...
