The International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants for Maria Lvova-Belova, Russian Commissioner for Children's Rights, and Vladimir Putin. This discredited court, controlled by Western elites such as Soros through their NGOs, acted on information provided by the media-academia-intelligence complex funded and managed by the US. Yale University's Humanitarian Research Lab, part of the Ukraine Conflict Observatory, set up by the US State Department plays a prominent role in the investigation, and so does the European Democratic Resilience Initiative (EDRI), an initiative launched by the Biden administration with $320 million in new funding to "support societal resilience and defend human rights in Ukraine and neighboring countries." Ironically, neither Ukraine nor the US are among signatories to the ICC. @LauraRuHK

Big Serge on Twitter: The funniest thing about the Hague issuing an arrest warrant for Putin is that neither the USA, Russia, Ukraine, Iran, or Belarus are party to the ICC - nobody involved in the conflict is under obligation here (except the EU)

Just another case of Europeans pretending they have power.

"The more turbulent and unstable the world becomes, the more it is necessary for China-Russia relations to steadily move forward. Faced with a complicated international situation, China is willing to work with Russia to maintain peace, security and development, jointly build a global community of shared future, implement the BRI, promote the leapfrog development of pragmatic cooperation between the two countries, and continuously advance China-Russia relations for a new era. Regardless of how the international situation changes, the China-Russia comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination for a new era will inevitably move forward at a higher level." (Chinese Ambassador to Russia, Zhang Hanhui) https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202303/1287508.shtml

RUSSIA E MONDO ISLAMICO SEMPRE PIU' VICINI. Una delle direzioni chiave della politica estera russa nel contesto della continua distruzione dell'ordine mondiale globale istigata dall'Occidente è la formazione di un ordine mondiale multipolare più giusto e basato sui principi della Carta delle Nazioni Unite. Lo ha dichiarato il capo del Comitato per gli affari internazionali del Consiglio della Federazione Russa, Grigory Karasin.

Il 6 marzo si è tenuto nella Casa dei Ricevimenti del Ministero degli Esteri russo un incontro informativo con gli ambasciatori dei Paesi membri dell'Organizzazione per la Cooperazione Islamica (OIC) sotto gli auspici del Gruppo di Visione Strategica "Russia - Mondo Islamico". L'evento si è svolto in continuità con gli sforzi per rafforzare l'interazione con i rappresentanti dei Paesi dell'OIC.

La presidente del Consiglio della Federazione Valentina Matvienko ha più volte sottolineato che oggi il mondo islamico è uno dei centri dell'emergente mondo multipolare.

Nella costruzione di un ordine mondiale policentrico, la Russia sta unendo le forze con i Paesi amici dell'Oriente, dell'America Latina e dell'Africa. "Allo stesso tempo, in quanto maggiore potenza eurasiatica, la Russia mantiene relazioni strette e basate sulla fiducia e sul rispetto reciproco con i Paesi del mondo islamico", ha aggiunto Karasin.

Grazie alla mediazione di Cina e Russia il processo di riconciliazione in Medio Oriente e' in pieno svolgimento. Chi trae beneficio dal caos e dalla guerra e' cosi' impegnato su altri fronti che si e' creata un'opportunita' storica per la pace in questa zona del mondo. Dopo l'accordo raggiunto tra Iran e Arabia Saudita per ripristinare relazioni diplomatiche, anche Israele comincia a rendersi conto che rischia di restare isolata a seguito di una normalizzazione dei rapporti tra paesi del mondo arabo e Iran. Israele sa che il declino dell'egemonia statunitense in Medio Oriente e' inarrestabile. Ma senza una soluzione alla questione palestinese non puo' esserci pace nella regione. Non e' escluso che la Cina possa riuscire laddove altri hanno fallito. https://www.haaretz.com/opinion/2023-03-13/ty-article-opinion/.premium/former-mossad-chief-after-iran-saudi-deal-should-israel-also-send-out-feelers-to-tehran/00000186-dbe9-d6b2-adff-fbfd0bc30000

Si puo' pensare il peggio di Israele e dei suoi crimini contro i palestinesi, ma una cosa va ammessa: gli israeliani hanno un sistema di intelligence tra i piu' avanzati al mondo, gli israeliani fanno sempre i propri interessi e quando la barca sta per affondare sono i primi a saltare giu'. Anche loro hanno capito che la barca USA e' in rotta di collisione con l'iceberg.

FRANCIA - Continuano gli scioperi e le proteste contro l'innalzamento dell'eta' pensionabile da 62 a 64 anni e contro iI governo Macron che ha esautorato il parlamento per approvare la legge. La Francia e' paralizzata, ma grazie alla censura che vige in Europa, fuori dai confini nazionali quasi non se ne parla. Questa e' Parigi al 12esimo giorno di sciopero dei netturbini. Montagne di rifiuti che marciscono sui marciapiedi, topi che banchettano. @LauraRuHK

SCHIZOPHRENIA - Joe Biden says International Criminal Court’s decision to issue arrest warrant for Putin is JUSTIFIED, but adds that the US does not recognize ICC’s jurisdiction. 🤡

It turned out that back in 2011, Navalny Associates Inc (company number 0400427060) was set up in the USA to promote Navalny.

During that period, the "more-Ukrainian-than-Russian" was executing an order to destabilize Russia's political system in the run-up to the parliamentary and presidential elections. He torpedoed voters' trust in the United Russia party, which had helped our poverty-stricken and terrorist-ridden Fatherland to start the road to unification and avoid collapse.
Then, in the fall of 2012, Navalny reported in London https://youtu.be/udrdH4U6FqI on how he had screwed over naive hamsters by pulling the strings of their infantilism.

Western media led the demonization campaign against Maria Lvova-Belova, Russian Commissioner for Children's Rights. This is a post i wrote over a month ago about these absurd claims that Russia had kidnapped Ukrainian children. https://t.me/LauraRuHK/3565

✖️New York Times: le sanzioni antirusse infliggono pesanti perdite alle compagnie aeree americane

👀L'effetto boomerang delle sanzioni crea una nuova vittima: i vettori aerei americani, che non possono sorvolare la Russia, stanno intensificando una campagna di lobbying alla Casa Bianca per risolvere "un problema che si sta aggravando": perdono quote di mercato a favore di concorrenti stranieri che possono trasportare passeggeri tra gli Usa e l'Asia con voli più veloci ed economici.

👁‍🗨Air India, Emirates e China Eastern Airlines godono di un vantaggio sleale, ha affermato il gruppo lobbista del settore "Airlines for America".

▪️Le compagnie aeree americane avevano accesso allo spazio aereo russo grazie a una serie di accordi con Mosca, che beneficiava di introiti da centinaia di milioni di dollari l'anno, afferma un rappresentante di una compagnia aerea americana. Airlines for America ha stimato la perdita annuale di quota di mercato per i vettori nazionali a 2 miliardi $.

US Department of Transportation has prepared a draft order to ban Chinese airlines flying passengers to the United States from flying through Russia - RBC

The US Department of Transportation has developed a draft order to ban Chinese air carriers from flying to the United States over Russian territory, the document was submitted to the National Security Team and other White House officials, writes The New York Times with reference to three sources.

From the NYT; Because of the war in Ukraine, U.S. carriers have to take the long way on flights to and from Asia, giving an advantage to foreign rivals flying the same routes.

Restrictions on flights through Russian airspace have been proposed in Congress and among US air carriers for other countries, particularly India. However, according to The New York Times, the White House is "aware of the possible diplomatic consequences of taking steps against a long-time ally such as India" or the potential increase in tensions with Beijing.

Turkiye’s Foreign Minister, Mevlut Cavusoglu, met with his Egyptian counterpart, Sameh Shoukry, for official talks on Saturday, 18 March.
The meeting is deemed a vital step to mend political ties between the two countries and is the first of its kind in over a decade.
“In the meetings, all aspects of our bilateral relations will be discussed, and views on regional and international issues will be exchanged,” the Turkish Foreign Ministry said.
During the joint press conference, Shoukry announced that his country is working to normalize relations with Turkiye and start a new phase of cooperation.
“We have solid ground, and we are confident that we will restore relations with Turkey in a strong way,” he added.
The Egyptian foreign minister also highlighted the desire to restore cooperation with Turkiye on all political and economic levels.
In addition, Cavusoglu said that his country is planning to exchange ambassadors with Egypt once again after Egypt expelled the Turkish ambassador on 23 November 2013 while recalling its own due to repeated criticism by the Turkish president following the ouster of Mohamed Morsi.
In a statement on Friday, Abu Zeid, the spokesman for Egypt’s foreign ministry, said that Cavusoglu’s visit marks “the inauguration of the path of restoring normal relations between the two countries.”
Following the devastating 7.8 magnitude earthquake in Syria and Turkiye, Sameh Shoukry visited Turkiye’s Adana and Mersin provinces, the first time an Egyptian foreign minister visited Turkiye in over a decade.
In addition, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi expressed his condolences to the Turkish earthquake victims during a phone call with his President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and promised humanitarian aid and assistance. 
On 20 November, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan shook hands with his Egyptian counterpart Abdel Fattah al-Sisi on the sidelines of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Turkey’s state-owned Anadolu Agency reported that Erdogan briefly met with Sisi and other regional leaders, including King Abdullah of Jordan and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. 
In March 2021, Turkiye claimed to have resumed diplomatic relations at the level of intelligence and foreign ministries with Cairo; however, the Egyptian Foreign Ministry denied these claims at the time."

PUTIN'S FIRST VISIT TO DONBASS - After visiting Crimea to mark the ninth anniversary of the peninsula’s reunification with Russia, President Vladimir Putin made an unannounced working trip to Mariupol, the Black Sea port city which was liberated by Russian forces last spring and joined Russia as part of the Donetsk People’s Republic following a referendum in September. It was Putin's first visit to Donbass.

Putin arrived in Mariupol by helicopter and drove through several districts of the city, accompanied by Russian Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin, multiple Russian news agencies reported on Sunday morning.

Putin inspected several social and educational facilities, housing and communal services infrastructure, medical institutions and spoke with local residents.
Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin reported in detail to the head of state on how construction and restoration work is going on in Mariupol and its environs. (Source: RIA Novosti) @LauraRuHK

The 2nd International Parliamentary Conference “Russia – Africa” is taking place in Moscow. Over 40 official delegations from all over the continent participate in the event, with discussions ranging from Russian-African cooperation to Western neocolonialism.

The forum is just one link in a long chain of recent contacts between officials in Moscow and their African counterparts that will culminate in the second Russia-Africa Summit, scheduled for July of this year in St. Petersburg. Moscow hopes that the event will elevate its relations with the countries involved to “a new level of cooperation”. Based on recent meetings between Russian diplomats and their African counterparts, it is clear that the new relations will be marked not only by economic, but also military partnership. Moscow demonstrated its serious interest in the world’s fastest-growing region, Africa, at the end of the last decade. The first Russia–Africa Summit, held in Sochi in 2019, gathered representatives of all 54 African countries, with 43 states being represented at the highest level. Eight major integration associations and organizations also participated. Following the military offensive in Ukraine and the rupture of relations between Russia and the West, contacts with the Global South have become even more valuable for Russia. This is evidenced by Minister for Foreign Affairs Sergey Lavrov’s recent activity.

In the first months of 2023, he has already toured Africa twice. At the end of January, he visited several sub-Saharan countries: South Africa, Eswatini (Swaziland), Angola, and Eritrea. In February, he traveled around North Africa to Mali, Mauritania, and Sudan. Lavrov’s previous large-scale tour of Africa was in July 2022 and included Egypt, Ethiopia, Uganda, and the Republic of the Congo. (Source: RT) @LauraRuHK

🇩🇪🏦 “Good Morning from #Germany, where Deutsche Bank is falling further behind in the global banking crisis. In terms of market capitalization, JPMorgan is now 18 times larger than Deutsche Bank. In January, the factor was only 14.”

- Holger Zschaepitz

US "too-big-to-fail" banks are gobbling up smaller financial institutes...thanks to a crisis that seemed engineered to help them. This system of crisis-prone, hyper-financialized capitalism is like a junkie. If it doesn’t get its regular fix of public sector help, it will simply collapse and die. And the public sector pumped trillions of dollars into the financial system under the guise of helping the economy survive after it had been battered by ill-advised Covid lockdowns. At the heart of the crisis is the gigantic pile of low-interest debt, about $4.2 trillion of it, that was issued during the height of the pandemic. https://thegrayzone.com/2023/03/15/covid-lockdowns-financial-crisis/

➖In Serbia si sta considerando l'idea di ritirarsi dallo Statuto di Roma, sulla base del quale è stata istituita la Corte Penale Internazionale (CPI) all'Aia.

✖️Movimento dei Socialisti, partito fondato da Aleksandar Vulin, capo del controspionaggio e vicino al presidente, ritiene che Belgrado debba smettere di sostenere la CPI, “la cui obiettività è messa in dubbio a causa di doppi standard, conflitti d'interesse e incompetenza dei giudici”.
