War crimes confirmed by CBS news. I know that both sides of the war try to score political points through false reporting, so I always take a wait-and-see approach until independent third-parties confirm the facts. But Russian war crimes in Bucha are now confirmed by an independent news source.

CBS News correspondent Debora Patta and her team visited Bucha to see for themselves the evidence of killings that Russia has dismissed as "fake."

Patta said that when she and her team visited the town, they saw evidence of atrocities: Civilians shot in the head with their hands bound; at least one resident apparently cut down by Russian tank fire while riding down the street on a bicycle; mass graves filled with nearly 300 bodies.

There is a trail of destruction and death carved through Bucha, and Patta said it is exactly what war crimes look like. Having reported from many conflict zones and bearing witness to some of the most brutal atrocities of this century, Patta said what she found in Bucha was among the worst she had ever seen.

"I personally saw evidence of war crimes," Patta reported on Tuesday. "These stories cannot be staged, and the overwhelming grief I have witnessed cannot be manufactured."

Now, let's see.. A town controlled by russian forces, with people along the street wearing russian-safe signs, get killed by a mortar shell.
Who fired that? the russians?

Is this story going to be hidden soon like the mariupol teathre story?

Except they were not Russians, my friend. Particularly those who "were killing and torturing people in KGB prissons".

he has no clue that soviet union had many ethnics where some were known for their brutality and inhumanity.

LOL typical Ukraine propaganda.
Russia fucked them heavily with their siege on big cities they made sure ukrainian soldiers couldn't move and support when taking mariupol.
Now where mariupol is taken russians are moving from the west to east to take the rest including the 60k ukrainian battalion which is cut from everything/resources

Mocked As "Rubble" By Biden, Russia's Ruble Comes Roaring Back

International sanctions on Vladimir Putin's regime sank the ruble to a record low of 121.5 rubles per dollar, triggering memories of the battering it took during the 1998 Russian financial crisis.

My fear is that Russia's decision of attaching ruble to gold is the last drop to make the whole hollow economy of the west collapse.
If now you can exchange rubles for gold, even at a good price (well, not anymore as of now 1€ = 84rub and dropping), what are the chance that gold price in eur or dollar will now skyrocket?

 

[khinkali]

what are the chance that gold price in eur or dollar will now skyrocket?

In the case of economic war, gold could max out at a legal official price of <$2,500 in the USA. With no physical availability. And a black market price of >$10,000

Could price controls be the answer to inflation that Biden is seeking?

Price controls are not ideal, but neither is negotiating with Iran or Venezuela from a position of need.

Russia has gold, oil, gas, coal, wheat, fertiliser. China will soon be the largest economy. Growth will be in India and Africa.

In the case of economic war, North America will be largely self sufficient but EU is in a lot of trouble.
