Subject: EFFECTS OF SANCTIONS ON RUSSIA – TUCKER CARLSON
potustoast.com/tucker-carlson-visits-russian-grocery-store-discovers-americans-have-been-told-a-lie/
While in Russia to interview Vladimir Putin, Tucker Carlson visited a grocery store in Moscow, Russia, and documented his experience. This visit was part of his efforts to understand the impact of U.S. and European sanctions on Russia’s economy. Contrary to the narrative that these sanctions have had a devastating effect on Russia’s economy, Carlson discovered a different situation during his visit.

Carlson’s video titled “TC Shorts: The Moscow Grocery Store,” provides an inside look at a Russian supermarket. He noted that the sanctions from the United States and other European nations seem to have no visible impact on grocery stores in Russia, despite claims made by corporate media. He also highlighted the variety of food items available in the Moscow supermarket, pointing out that their prices are much more affordable compared to those in the U.S.
This observation raises questions about the effectiveness of the sanctions imposed on Russia and how they are perceived by the general public. It also highlights the importance of firsthand experiences and direct observations in understanding complex socio-economic issues.
During his trip, Carlson also commented on the overall aesthetic appeal and cleanliness of Moscow, stating it was “so much cleaner, and prettier aesthetically — its architecture, its food, its service — than any city in the United States.” He even noted his surprise about the efficiency and cleanliness of the Moscow subway system.
These observations by Carlson present a contrasting view of Russia compared to what is often portrayed in Western media. While this does not negate the political differences and ongoing tensions between Russia and Western countries, it offers a fresh perspective on the living conditions in Russia’s capital.
However, it’s important to note that these observations are based on one individual’s experiences and may not represent the overall economic situation in Russia. The impact of sanctions often takes time to manifest and may not be immediately visible, especially in consumer-facing sectors like retail.

“Creative destruction,” the term coined by Joseph Schumpeter to describe the power of capitalism to create something greater from the destruction of something lesser, is an optimistic forecast of the outcome of Monday’s vote in the Iowa Caucuses.
Former President Donald Trump resoundingly won the contest, setting himself up for a triumphant return as the GOP nominee who will confront whomever the Democrats nominate this year, whether it is an ailing and unpopular President Joe Biden or a late-game substitute.
Within the Republican contest, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, whom I favored, couldn’t overcome the wellspring of support for Trump that came from unfair, undemocratic prosecutions by the Biden administration and local hick prosecutors in New York City and Atlanta. Those prosecutors and officials in Colorado, Maine and elsewhere who have sought illegally and outrageously to deny voters the option of voting for Trump—supposedly in the name of democracy—helped propel his ascent.
Trump still faces former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, but the former president seems likely to prevail. Haley is a happy warrior like Trump, but will be cast as a globalist, neoconservative, establishment Republican for the simple reason that she is one. Few on the Right beyond the Wall Street Journal editorial page and Chamber of Commerce long for uncontrolled immigration, exporting manufacturing to Asia, or funding the defense of wealthy European moochers.
But Iowa was about more than the prosecutions. Trump is right on policy and right on the image of America, which appealed to Iowa voters. They want the Three Fat Years of economic growth that Trump and his economic team achieved before China inflicted the COVID-19 pandemic on the world. Through those years, Trump had ended the decade of economic malaise that created the populist wave that brought him to power. He made everyone willing to work hard better off—especially minorities.

Another excellent article by Sam Faddis a retired CIA operations specialist who spent the majority of his career in the Middle East. Nancy
Joe Broke The Planet – You Pay The Price
By Sam Faddis January 9, 2024
Ever since Joe Biden sat down in the White House a great many people, myself included, have been talking about the possible dire consequences down the road of a Biden Presidency. Putting a mentally incompetent Chinese puppet in the Oval Office seemed calculated to turn out badly. “Eventually, we will pay the price” has been the standard refrain.
“Eventually” is today.
The Iranians, via their Houthi surrogates, have closed the Red Sea. Ninety-five percent of the commercial shipping that would have normally transited the Red Sea and the Suez Canal is now taking the long way around Africa instead. Shipping costs have skyrocketed by 60% already. Insurance costs are up 20%.
You will pay the price for that at the pump, the grocery store, and in all your purchases. Orders of merchandise will be delayed by weeks in delivery.
The U.S. Navy is conducting a pointless and toothless exercise called Operation Prosperity Guardian. It accomplishes nothing. We shoot down cheap throwaway drones that cost less than $2000 and junk missiles with 2 million dollar interceptors. The Houthi missile batteries on shore remain untouched and intact.
Our forces across the Middle East are under almost continuous attack by other Iranian surrogates. Every once in a great while we strike a target of no real significance. Mostly, we pretend like it is not happening. We are at war. We are under continuous assault. We take no meaningful action to defend ourselves.
The Communist Chinese are ramping up for action against Taiwan. At least twenty Chinese spy balloons have passed over Taiwan in the last week. The CCP just launched a “satellite” directly over Taiwan. That launch was initially mistaken for a missile attack on the island. Chinese officials are making almost continuous statements regarding the inevitability of “reunification” between the mainland and Taipei.

Another excellent report from Sam Faddis Nancy
Paying The Price For Our Arrogance – Russia Gives North Korea A Missile Capable Of Hitting Washington D.C.
by Sam Faddis November 27. 2023
EXCERPT FROM THIS ARTICLE: How far Russia will go in furthering North Korean capabilities remains unclear. North Korea is estimated to have roughly 30 nuclear weapons and enough fissile material on hand to increase that inventory to 50 or 60 weapons if it chooses to. It has had the capability to put those warheads on missiles for some time but now has a dramatically enhanced ability to actually strike first against the United States. Not only can its new missile reach D.C., but because it is solid-fueled it can be readied and launched in a fraction of the time of older, liquid-fueled missiles. That means we may well have little or no warning of an impending strike.
Recent reporting has revealed that early on in the Ukraine war the Russians appeared willing to sit down at the negotiating table and talk about a negotiated end to the war. We were not interested. The Neo-Cons were having too much fun “killing Russians” and there were dreams of total victory. We poured jet fuel on the fire and dismissed any thought of the consequences.
We are now paying the price. War has a way of spiraling out of control, and the consequences are often difficult to predict. In 1914 the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand led very quickly to the deaths of millions. In this case, our hubris has produced a new Russian-North Korean alliance and quite possibly a direct threat to the homeland.

With the extremely alarming events that took place in Afghanistan and are now taking place in the Middle East and the Ukraine, it is time to evaluate our military’s readiness. The following video is intended as a wake up call to address the damage that Marxism is having on our defenses. Marxism can take many forms but it is troubling to hear our generals speak about white privilege and how the military needs to be more Woke. Listen to the following speakers and come to your own conclusions. One of the speakers in the video is Sam Faddis, a retired CIA operations officer. I have recently sent out one his articles – The War To End Israel. If you haven’t read it, now might be a good time to catch up with him. Also, if you agree with the speakers, please do contact your senators with your concerns about the numerous woke military officers that will be coming before the senate for confirmation. Nancy

These ‘climate change’ activists/alarmists just never give up their attempt to scare people into believing that ‘Climate Change’ is going to destroy the world ! Nancy
1st ARTICLE
Elites Enjoy Lavish Dinner at Palace of Versailles While Discussing Climate Change
One of the topics of discussion for the night was climate change. Can you even begin to imagine the size of the carbon footprint of this crowd?
Remember, these are the people who want the peasants to live without air conditioning and eat bugs. Not for them, though.
2nd ARTICLE
Climate Change Is ‘Killing People and Devastating Communities’ Says U.N. Chief António Guterres
EXCERPT FROM THIS ARTICLE: One must assume that Mr. Guterres is also unaware that far more people die each year from cold weather than from heat.
The United Nations alarmist-in-chief António Guterres called for “drastic steps” Friday to eliminate all fossil fuels in order to curb global warming.
“Climate change is not just a change in the weather. It is changing life on our planet,” Guterres asserted in a Twitter (X) post. “It is killing people and devastating communities.”
The U.N. chief did not share data on who exactly has died from “climate change” or which communities have been “devastated” by it, in accord with his usual practice of rhetoric-heavy, fact-light discourse.
Instead, he cut right to the chase: “To limit global temperature rise, we must phase out coal, oil & gas in a fair & equitable way – and massively boost renewables.”
In a video he embedded in his post, Guterres makes the remarkable claim that “every continent, every region, and every country is feeling the heat.”
That may be true in his native Portugal, but in Greenland, where the average yearly temperature is just over 1°F (-17°C), feeling the heat is a luxury.
Russia, spanning the continents of Asia and Europe, has a still colder annual average of -5.2ºF (-20.7ºC), meaning that below freezing is the norm.
Even in Canada, where the annual average sits at a balmy 20.6°F (-6.4°C), one supposes that an added 1.5ºC would be a welcome (if insufficient) change for the better.
One must assume that Mr. Guterres is also unaware that far more people die each year from cold weather than from heat.

National Archives Has About 5,400 Emails, Records Linked to Joe Biden’s Email Aliases
The National Archives (NARA) possesses about 5,400 emails and records linked to President Joe Biden’s email aliases, the House Oversight Committee revealed Monday evening.
The email aliases — “Robert Peters,” “Robin Ware,” and “JRB Ware” — were used to share government information and discuss business with Hunter Biden and associates, according to the Southeastern Legal Foundation, which filed a lawsuit to compel the agency to turn over the emails.
“All too often, public officials abuse their power by using it for their personal or political benefit. When they do, many seek to hide it,” Southeastern Legal Foundation general counsel Kimberly Hermann told Just the News in a statement. “The only way to preserve governmental integrity is for NARA to release Biden’s nearly 5,400 emails to SLF and thus the public. The American public deserves to know what is in them.”
