On se, covek, ne lozi na trofeje.

CNN — Russia is entering its third year of war in Ukraine with an unprecedented amount of cash in government coffers, bolstered by a record $37 billion of crude oil sales to India last year, according to new analysis, which concludes that some of the crude was refined by India and then exported to the United States as oil products worth more than $1 billion. The funds at the Kremlin’s disposal put Moscow in a better position to sustain a lengthy war than Kyiv, which is struggling to maintain the desperately needed flow of Western cash. According to an analysis of public data from the Russian finance ministry by RAND economist Howard Shatz, Russian federal revenue and expenditure were both at an all-time high in 2023. Yet Moscow still didn’t balance the books, he said, an indication of the war’s sheer cost, but also of the hit to oil revenue from sanctions. “Despite the jump in revenues, the federal budget deficit was at its third-highest… larger only in 2022 and 2020,” he said. “Tax on domestic production and imports are both high and effective, which means they are taxing their own population to pay for this war,” he said. India has justified its purchases from Russia as a means of keeping global prices lower as it’s not competing with Western nations for Middle Eastern oil. India’s Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas Hardeep Singh Puri told CNBC last week: “If we start buying more of the Middle Eastern oil, the oil price will not be at $75 or $76. It will be $150.”

Rokas igra zadnja dva meseca kosarku karijere, dokazao je da je legitiman starter EL tima (doduse donjeg dela table). Isto vazi i za Bolomboya, doduse on je prakticno od pocetka sezone krenuo da 'isporucuje', ako ne racunamo onaj pocetni eksperiment Ivanovica sa Bolomboyem na 4.

sad vidim da i Hanga igra za reprezentaciju, bas bzvz, njemu najvise treba odmor.

od ranije se pominjalo da idu i Tobi i Roki. To bi trebalo da je to? Tobiju svakako trebaju minuti i samopouzdanje, dok svim ostalim reprezentativcima bi prijala pauza, narocito Davidovcu i Luki. Teo, Lazic i Topic bi mogli da iskoriste da se lepo 'zalece', a Smat, Gilespi, Lazarevic i Ilic da lepo treniraju i fokusiraju se na nastavak sezone. Bolomboj, Hanga i Nedovic trebaju svakako vise odmora, narocito Hanga. A o Tompkinsu svi cekamo vesti.

zanimljivo da je odigrao neverovatan mec, sa indexom 34(!), trojkama 6-8, ali sa njim na terenu su imali -4. E, da, ko sve od nasih ide na utakmice reprezentacije?

kako god, ovaj odgovor 'sa najvise mesta' znaci da ce Ostoja do veceras nekako da se javno poliva zna se cime i pegla ovo od sinoc. pomoglo bi i da ode na kolenima zna se kod koga.

Posle osvajanja domaceg trofeja (na koji su cigani postali uzasno gadljivi, pa jos o njemu govore sa prezrenjem I sa nekakve visine uz obavezni podsmeh, da ne zaboravim i cuveno omalovazavanje domace osnove). Neke kosarkaske stvari su me podsetile koliko ovo takmicenje moze da bude lepo, kao debitantska utakmica I rola Andreja Kostica. Momak je postao u kosarkaskim krugovima 'vruca' tema, a da nije ovog takmicenja, za njega bi culi koliko i za bilo kog kazahstanskog kosarkasa. Ne znam za vas, ja idem da jos jednom preslusam ZOCovu konferenciju, da se podsetim razloga zbog cega je ovo nebitno takmicenje.

I ja samo da napomenem da isti kriterijum primenite i na vredjanje zvezdinih igraca i uopste ljudi o kojima se govori na forumu.

Vidim da neki zapadni vojni analiticari kazu da je vrlo moguce da se posle izbora u Rusiji krene u totalnu ofanzivu ciji je cilj da se Ukrajna potpuno slomi.

N1 Zbog smrti vodećeg ruskog opozicionara Alekseja Navaljnog iz Rusko demokratskog društva, ispred Ambasade Rusije u Beogradu organizovan je protestni skup. Kako je javio reporter N1, ispred ambasade je u 16 sati, kada je skup počeo, bilo izuzetno tiho, ljudi su bili vidno potreseni, međusobno se grlili, tešili i u suzama zajedno tugovali. Reporter je javio da je utisak kao da je svako od prisutnih izgubio nekog člana porodice.

bbc Celebrated former world chess champion and strident Kremlin critic Garry Kasparov has posted a strongly worded series of posts on X about Alexei Navalny's death. "Putin is Navalny's killer," he says, but also criticises Western governments for not taking a stronger stance against his treatment by the Kremlin. "My rage and eternal scorn toward the Western politicians who treated Navalny's poisoning and jailing as just another negotiating point with Putin," he says, referencing his repeated imprisonment and his poisoning with Novichok in 2020. "Big talk, no action, more blood on their hands." Kasparov calls Navalny a fighter, and adds that Western politicians "should keep his name out of their mouths" unless they are willing to fight too.

Zapravo, kad je rec o Rusima, ispiranje mozga je toliko, da preko 60% Rusa misli da iza ubistva Prigozina ne stoji njihova drzava, nego eto, avio nesreca, cia itd.

bbc The US has warned that Russia could seize Ukraine's key eastern town of Avdiivka - the scene of some of the fiercest fighting in recent months. "Avdiivka is at risk of falling into Russian control," National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said, citing Ukraine's ammunition shortages. At Thursday's briefing in Washington, Mr Kirby said Avdiivka could fall largely "because the Ukrainian forces on the ground are running out of artillery ammunition". "Russia is sending wave after wave of conscript forces to attack Ukrainian positions," he said. "And because Congress has yet to pass the supplemental bill, we have not been able to provide Ukraine with the artillery shells that they desperately need to disrupt these Russian assaults. Nato Secretary General Jen Stoltenberg warned on Thursday that the US failure to approve continued military assistance to Ukraine was already having an impact on the battlefield. On Friday, Mr Zelensky is visiting Berlin and Paris where he is expected to sign security pacts with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and French President Emmanuel Macron. A similar agreement on security co-operation was signed between Ukraine and the UK in January.

A valjda je sinoc Senat odobrio tu pomoc, 60 milijardi za oruzje, municiju I hum pomoc izbeglicama I zrvtama rata. Ili ima jos neka institucija koja to treba da odobri?

bbc Almost two years into Russia's full-scale invasion, there's no flood of volunteers to the front line anymore. Most of those who wanted to fight are either dead, injured or still stuck at the front waiting to be relieved by new recruits. U spoileru je link do cele reportaze na sajtu, usput je i odlican prikaz stanja u Ukrajni

U Evropi se sve vise stice utisak da u USA vec deset meseci pre izbora vlada Trump, odnosno da je prakticno toliko ogranicio vladavinu Bidena, da se on vise pita i vise utice na americku spoljnu i unutrasnju politiku od aktuelnog predsednika. Vidim da su u EU ozbiljno popizdeli na subotnje Trumpove opaske o NATOu, a republikanski senatori mu cak i daju podrsku. Njegov eventualni uspeh na predsednickim izborima u novembru ce oznaciti jednu potpuno novu eru u odnosima Evrope i USA. U tom smislu, bas dobar uvodni teksta na cnn sajtu, da ga ne kopiram celog, evo link kog zanima https://edition.cnn.com/2024/02/12/europe/trump-nato-putin-europe-analysis-intl/index.html

Pa ne radi starlink u Rusiji, radi u Ukrajni, odnosno u nekim njenim okupiranim delovima.

Dakle na kupu centarski par Bolomboy i Mitrovic, uz eventualnu pomoc Ilica. Zanimljivo, s ozirom da Mitrovic cele sezone prakticno igra na 4. A na 4 Davidovac, opet ilic, i uskacu Roki i Lazarevic. Uzbudljivo.

cnn Ukraine’s Defence Intelligence claims it has confirmed the use of Starlink satellite communications by Russian forces in occupied areas. It says it has intercepted conversations which indicate the Starlink terminals are being used to provide internet access to Russia’s 83rd Air Assault Brigade operating in the Donetsk region. Elon Musk’s SpaceX company, which owns Starlink, says it does not do business of any kind with the Russian government or its military. “If SpaceX obtains knowledge that a Starlink terminal is being used by a sanctioned or unauthorized party, we investigate the claim and take actions to deactivate the terminal if confirmed,” the company said in a statement.

pa NATO ima problem da obezbedi oruzje (i pre svega municiju) i za sadasnji broj mobilisanih vojnika. sa tolikim brojem mobilisanih, a ne i dobro obucenih ljudi/vojnika ne bi znali sta da rade, verovatno bi bili tezak balast za budzet, a neadekvatno opremljeni bi ginuli bi zecevi, sto opet nije dobro po moral. imajuci u vidu sta sve lupeta Tramp, meni sasvim verovatno izgleda skori raspad te alijanse, a EU ce morati da se 'postara' za sopstvenu bezbednost van NATO.

Nikad svi nece da budu tu

bbc At least seven people have been killed in an overnight Russian drone attack that hit a petrol station in the north-eastern city of Kharkiv, officials say. The drones caused large fires in a residential area in the east of the city, regional head Oleh Syniehubov said.
