As a result of the Russian missile and drone strikes, the Mayaky Bridge in Odesa Oblast has been temporarily closed to all traffic.
Drivers have been advised to take an alternative route through Moldova to the city of Sokyryany, Chernivitsi Oblast, more than 300 km away.

90 bn here, 90 bn there. The EU leaders know perfectly well that those 90 bn last only so long and before half of next year is gone, they’ll have to find 90 bn more.
 
Meanwhile, their populations will start to wonder what happened to their purses. There is a glimmer of hope this is the end of EU, but I don’t really believe it until I see it.

Say what you want about Western elites, but they don’t leave essential assets just lying around in Moscow.

Well, if you’re absolutely sure about that, then this article must be obviously wrong:

RUSSIA’S THREATS TO RESPOND TO THE THEFT OF ITS ASSETS ARE CAUSING PANIC IN EUROPEAN CAPITALS – Financial Times
 
Russia has promised the “toughest response” if its sovereign assets are used to finance Ukraine. This threat caused panic in several European capitals, the British newspaper Financial Times notes.
 
Although Moscow has not yet specified what measures it will take, European officials fear the confiscation of all Western assets still in Russia.
 
After freezing its funds abroad, Russia imposed full control over securities owned by Western investors and over the profits of foreign companies that continue to operate in the country. These funds were transferred to special “C” type accounts, from which funds cannot be withdrawn without special permission.
 
In case of asset confiscation, the first step of the Central Bank of Russia may be to transfer funds from type “C” accounts to the state budget. This operation can happen quickly, without the need for complex legal proceedings.
 
In addition, all Russian branches of Western companies will be affected. The head of the Russian state has already signed a decree establishing an accelerated procedure for their nationalization and subsequent sale.

Precisely this. Expanding the piracy campaign of interdiction to the level it becomes more than irrelevant means tit-for-tat retribution from Russia and potentially her allies, a retaliation that the West is not prepared for. This isnt intelligent strategy, its desperate grasping by losers, as Trump might say.

In Ukraine, there may be a shortage of fuel due to Russian strikes on the bridge in the Odessa region
 
Ukraine can expect a shortage of fuel due to strikes on the bridge in the Odessa region, because 60% of the market is [from] Izmail
 
According to RegioNews , this was announced by the founder of the Prime group Dmitry Leushkin.

“This is in a negative scenario. As early as on Monday, prices on western bases will rise by at least UAH 2, which will create a wild shortage of fuel trucks and lead to gradual shutdowns of gas stations, starting from the eastern and southern regions, ” 

he wrote.
 

According to experts, the market will be in a fever for the next week.
“While the logistics will be rebuilt through Moldova and Romania, while prices will recover with the new logistics. But the most important thing is that again and again, any problem in the fuel market sharply exposes the issue of transport, since only fuel trucks are able to quickly solve this problem, and fuel trucks require drivers who are already very few. And if there was a high season now, we would quickly remember what the fuel crisis is in its heyday, ”

added Lioushkin.

 
Recall that in the Odessa region, traffic to a number of checkpoints on the Ukrainian-Moldovan border is difficult, in particular, due to Russian attacks, traffic on the Odessa-Reni highway is suspended.

It will probably take some weeks before fuel shortages take place on the front, but then there will be no more trucks moving things around for the AFU. So they will just be able to hold position and eventually die.

“At an operational level, we will sharpen our edge and impact with audacity, tapping into, if you like, our historical SOE instincts.
 
“We’re at our best when we’re hustling to make things happen because our intelligence is most valuable when it changes reality on the ground. We will take calculated risks where the prize is significant and the national interest clear.”
 
Mercouris found that.  Looks innocent enough when taken in the context of the speech.  A remarkably foolish and provocative statement when taken in the context of the Bucha atrocity theatre and other outrages.

Attacks on tankers, completely defenseless civilian ships is pure impotent fury from the Brits.
Britain itself is crumbling, financial center losing power, the army is in the doldrums. And the British avenge their impotency with terror attacks.

It is probably connected (I am not a linguist) to the Roman goddess Juno (d-j is common) and related to Janus, and probably even Jupiter.

There’s no plausible deniability; these attacks are entirely transparent, Russia can see all the way through them to MI6.
 
As @ Doctor Eleven points out, they are irrelevant, they make damn all difference. I’ll let you work out why they make damn all difference, but here’s some hints:

• land border with its major trading partner (don’t need ships for high value non-bulk cargo)
• Northern sea route (get back to me when attacks start there…)
• extensive network of inland waterways (terrorist drones don’t seem able to reach those)

However, as posted earlier, the West runs a huge risk of opening a Pandora’s box, setting a precedent that will torpedo (no pun intended) its carefully-constructed globalisation model.
 
Carry on with these attacks, “but at what cost ?” comes into play for the West.

I ask again, who is doing the deterring, if a state actor decides to follow the Western precedent, and launches attacks against another nation’s fleet?

In your example the aggrieved parties would be the country of registration, the two trading partners, and any 4th party involved (insurers, etc). Even if the trading partners were hypothetically weaker than Algeria, I would think that the chain of interests could involve more power than Algeria would be willing to face off in armed conflict.

Well they only need to follow one/two boats to set a precedent.
 
Here is what I would do if i were Russian or Chinese or Venezuela etc. First i would send a boat or so to the waters around Somalia and catch a couple of real pirates. Fly them to Moscow  or Beijing and announce a public trial for piracy, date to be specified.  
 
Then I would follow closely (by submarine) any ship that looks like intercepting a Russian or Venezuelan oil carrier (or one carrying their oil).  If boarding such a ship wait until ship seized then surface and with fire power take control of the actual ship and that of the attackers.  Board and arrest for piracy the attackers, leaving a skeleton crew on the attack boat.  Transfer the pirates to submarine and then to Moscow.
 
Organise trial for piracy at the same time and same prosecutors as the Somalians.  demand that the defence show just how they differ from the Somalians. Given that no war is declared there is no difference. Make sure the judge awards identical sentencing.
 
Now as for drone attacks. Problem for all shipping. reply in kind. UK/UKraine have sea drones. Maybe Russia still does not but presumably they are working on it. In the interim what about using some sort of net to act as a barrier to drones. Certainly slow down the ship but probably only needed in littoral waters as drones will not be our at sea (with plausible UK deniability)

“Hmmm, didn’t something similar happen in WWI? German U-boats started attacking unarmed merchantmen, Churchill armed then making them fair game in the process, then suddenly the Lusitania blew up and sank with a load of Yanks aboard, Germany got blamed and it was Woodrow Wilson to the rescue…Huzzah!”
 
Even worse, the Lusitania and several other superliners were built with Admiralty support and included pre-built gun ports and ammunition holds so the ships could quickly be requisitioned and armed in the event of war. The Lusitania was then used as a munitions transport ship, carrying civilian passengers as human shields.

Reminds me of the Belgian PM’s dressing down of the jingo shill for Politico (which is extremely British in terms of EU/NATO perspective, despite being funded by Germans). Still don’t see anything on this (UK) on Politico.
Anyhow, Ukraine funding having to come from participant budgets will definitely have impact… That’s the reality they were trying to avoid with the daylight robbery plan. Lagarde’s (ECB) comments here being as frank as possible here.
As I understand it, authorizing increased debt on emergency basis isn’t itself unprecedented (aside from point of anti-Russian crusader hobby not exactly being a clear emergency). Having some facility to equalize interest costs also isn’t a big deal (even if Germany and Nordics hate this). But the inescapable problem is that this debt will be considered when wanting to book other future debt. That would either be impossible due to total debt levels, or subject to even higher interest rates (even if some participants benefit from pooled.interest rate for Ukraine debt itself). And of course all the talk about 5% GDP military de factor would require further debt.
UK having one of worst debt levels already, and not able to participate in EU interest rate pooling for the Ukraine funding itself, just puts them in the worst position. All this just to extend the war with more Ukrainian bodies as Maidan Ukraine continues losing.

There’s no plausible deniability; these attacks are entirely transparent, Russia can see all the way through them to MI6.

Until Russia can present evidence of direct British involvement, the narrative of Ukrainian attacks is plausible. But this brings up an interesting point: the fact that Russia isn’t putting much effort to counter that claim suggests it isn’t willing to face off Britain.

As @ Doctor Eleven points out, they are irrelevant, they make damn all difference. I’ll let you work out why they make damn all difference, but here’s some hints: land border with its major trading partner (don’t need ships for high value non-bulk cargo) Northern sea route (get back to me when attacks start there…) extensive network of inland waterways (terrorist drones don’t seem able to reach those) However, as posted earlier, the West runs a huge risk of opening a Pandora’s box, setting a precedent that will torpedo (no pun intended) its carefully-constructed globalisation model. Carry on with these attacks, “but at what cost ?” comes into play for the West.

I’d wait for official numbers and trends of Russian trade before concluding that these attacks are irrelevant. Also, recent examples suggest a widening reach of attacks in the air, on the surface and underwater.

Where’s the cost/benefit analysis for mobilising a Carrier Battle Group in response to a tanker or container vessel being sunk? Operation Prosperity Guardian exposed that it doesn’t add up. Mobilising expensive, energy-hungry assets, with limited replenishment availability, in response to attacks on merchant shipping didn’t pay off. No effective deterrence, just a lot of expenses.

I think we can consider Ansar Allah as a non-state actor, so the reasoning is different. The return address isn’t obvious. However, I’m pretty sure that the devastation inflicted on Yemen by the West and its Persian Gulf allies serves as an effective deterrence for other parties considering a fight with the West.

When the people susceptible to said narratives happen to be the arbiters of whether their country should follow belligerent policies, narratives are in fact more determinant than you think.
 
If the European and North-American electorate were to come to believe that pursuing hostilities with Russia is absolutely not in its interest, then there would be strong political pressure to end the conflict. That needle would move to a stop and everyone gets to go home.

That would be an incorrect premise. Ansar Allah is not the de jure government, but it is the de facto government of Yemen. “De Jure” in the Western Zionist gender queer sense, like how Juan Guaidó is (supposedly) the de jure President of Venezuela, when Maduro is the de facto President.
 
To the people of Yemen, Ansar Allah runs the show. In diplomacy, in social services, in the military, etc.
 
Truly Islamic countries do not have tax regimes. The only tax a Muslim is responsible for is Zakat, which is an obligation placed by God on Muslims to engage in charity, to literally “spread the wealth to the needy”. Non-Muslims living under an Islamic state may be responsible for Jizya.
 
The latter is for the services and protection provided by the Islamic government, as well as the right to be exempt from defense duties if they are needed. The Muslims will fight and die for you, but you will pay towards some of the costs of the regime providing the protection.
 
I know Yemenis engage in Zakat; it’s part of everyday Islamic life, and not enforced by the state. I don’t know of any Islamic states that still levy the jizya.
