Major Dam Collapses in Ukraine – LIVE Breaking News Coverage (Nova Kakhovka Dam Destroyed)
The Australian contribution to D–Day
6 Jun 2019 – Lachlan Grant
The stories of the Australian men and women who participated in the battle of Normandy aren’t well known, yet more than 3,300 Australians were active in the D–Day landings (2,800 airmen, 500 sailors, and small numbers of men and women serving with the British Army), while thousands more served during the subsequent Normandy campaign. Thirteen Australians were killed on 6 June, but the campaign lasted beyond that one day. On 7 June, 20 Australian airmen were killed; on 8 June another 22 died, and the losses continued until August. In fact, more than 1,100 Australians were killed in Europe in the build-up to and during the Normandy battle (April–August 1944). To this day, June 1944 remains the costliest month in terms of casualties in the history of the RAAF.
Footage of the collapse here.
I quick search revealed some damage in November last year.

I saw rumours of this this morning. I’m not sure why the Russians would blow a dam that would actually flood some of their defensive line and make the delivery of water to Crimea difficult as well as cooling water for the ZNPP further upstream problematic (apparently, it also produced energy for use at the plant. Everything points to the Ukrainians doing this as a part of their offensive operations; as it will likely lower river levels upstream and make crossing attempts easier to navigate. The footage of the break in the dam is incredible, as is the strike.

ABC Gnus has it all.
Without knowing whos done the dam demo job yet.
1: As mentioned, makes a crossing further up easier.
or
2: Makes area downstream a nightmare for attacking forces for months.
So either side has a motive, depending on their tactics for the next couple of months.
It’s greater than 0, and anything greater than 0 is a problem. Whatever hit the dam was large.

In Reality Bites news:
Power prices to take years to fall and Albanese’s bill cut pledge at risk by lack of green energy
Electricity prices will take years to return to pre-Covid levels as the nation fails to build enough green energy, business leaders warn.
When I looked at the many comments on this ridiculous piece there was not a single one who bought the lie that power prices will come down. In fact they will never come down EVER, even if, by some miracle, a proper thermal power plant ever gets built. The vandalisation of the electricity grid has passed the point of being reversible.
That piece illustrates the role of the mainstream media as propaganda agents for the malignancy of government. Keep the masses believing that you can improve their lives and they will swallow the story and thank you for it. It’s just like the bit in 1984 about the good news of the chocolate ration being increased to 10 grams with no mention that the same government had reduced it the week before. The OZ may not be quite as blatant as the Age but they all do it.
And in other surprising news, the Age published a letter yesterday castigating them for unseemly gloating over the BRS affair. Either they have some self awareness or more likely, the letters editor missed it because they were sick with the plague or monkey pox.

The dam was previously attacked in Nov last year, but did NOT look from video like it was totally breached. Maybe attacker decided to have another go?
It’s not too surprising that the cash rate has risen.
The RBA has said at the start of last year that 9% mortgage rates are not out of the question. The cash rates are still low on trend anyway.

Well, if there was any doubt that the Uke offensive was happening, that dam getting blown up removes it. I suspect history will see it as the start of a new phase. Possibly the final phase? It buggers up a lot of the status quo downstream, can’t go on for years more without it being rebuilt if a big humanitarian problem is to be prevented.

Would sphagnum moss suck up the energy from the temple idol faster?
This is a “scientific” question.
There was always a high chance of this occurring, the pressure in Europe has seen Germany crack.
Property prices have been cruelling business development and commodity (food & utilities) prices have bitten consumers and businesses.
Mortgage rates were always going to go up, look at how mortgages are financed in Australia. Mortgage funding was slowing recently and there’s very little domestic funding for it. If the rates didn’t go up the interest rate parity would have been arbitraged away. The major banks have been previously this year putting up rates regardless of what the RBA was going to do.
A few weeks ago, the RBA said it was holding off on reversing QE with QT (Quantitative Tightening). I don’t get why they couldn’t leave interest rates alone and tighten policy by initiating the QT program.
It’s not a given that raising the o/n rate is actually a tightening.
I must say that the wage hikes (8.5% for the minimum wage and 5.75%) is wonderful to entice manufacturing back into the country. This is the sort of progressive, forward looking policy we need in the country and we finally have a government prepared to act and ensure wages rise even without commensurate productivity gains. Thank God for the current government.
Humphrey was being a glum bear when he said:
We dumped or drove out the previous main industries of manufacturing, but we’ve got barely a handful of companies building the new industries of robotics and AI.

I’m on neither side so I read both sides of the UKR/RSS opinions. One particular side says he’s been very restrained in his efforts, particularly in relation to civilians (yes I know there’s causalities but there always are… oh sorry not according to last week’s ruling but you know what I mean) – but also willing to attack civillian towns where UKR troops may be based.
9% residential mortgages will be Mad Max territory. Even tinned tuna won’t save you.
And Dot – I think a distinction needs to be made that there’s a difference between Putin not winning in UKR versus Russia losing. They’re not the same thing.
Russia won’t lose any pre-2014 territory but I’ve been saying for months they are much weaker than before the war.

1) Taxation – ie visible PAYG etc – is un-necessary and only kept as a punitive/nudge measure (you want to buy booze – we tax it, you want to buy ciggies – we tax them too, you want to buy diesel – taxed taxed taxed). If they can fund PART of government expenditure without directly taxing it – eg by borrowing, inflation etc, they can fund ALL of it that way.
2) Inflation itself is a tax (if they print, say, 10% of the existing money supply in a year, but the size of the economy only increases 3%, they just stole the difference from your purchasing power in inflation) – this is the same as taxing it out of you.

Glasnost but done right this time. That would be the West’s ultimate goal, and if Putin keeps on making wrong moves this might be the end result.

Can you tell my Martin Armstrong made out as though the USSR ending was a bad thing in what you posted yesterday? (He also mistakenly said the Ukrainians were the first to leave, Lithuania was).
Why conflate the USSR ending with a conspiracy to end Russia if they’re definitely not the same thing?
Sure, they’re struggling, but Ukraine annexed Russian-controlled land last year and Russians are reporting on Telegram that Leopard 2s are patrolling near Zaporizhzhia.
How many new Armata tanks have been produced in the last year and a half?
Zero.
Dover,
Your link to the strike has disappeared. The Ukrainians got plenty of practice in demolishing large concrete structures in the retreat from Bakhmut. As you say, it would take a very big bang to break a dam.
Cui bono? Beats me. The Zaporizhzhia NPP sits on the reservoir, from which it gets its cooling water, which is still necessary even though the reactors are in standby mode.
Yes, let’s see how things washout in the next couple of days.

Anyway, I wonder what her idea of ‘ceded’ would have been? A big meeting where representatives of the one, united, state of Aboriginal Australia reads a document and, binding upon all Aboriginal people everywhere, signed acceptance of British sovereignty?
It reminds me a bit of how vegans think animals die in the wild.
I doubt Gardner has really thought how ceding territory would be done by a sparse nomadic people. She must be a one of those people such as lawyers can be, or bureaucrats, who think the substance of a thing is in its formal protocols.
It would have been hundreds of little cedings which might not be as spectacular as Gardner immediately associates with the word. If nothing else all attempts to pry back land rights has been done from within the law, which is to say that they are predicated on accepting our current national sovereignty. They have to cede to our right to give it back (or not).

Early footage of the breach in the dam.
The left bank is the low side of the river opposite Kherson city; that is, the side occupied by the Russians. One of the reasons they abandoned the city and the right bank was because of the possibility that Ukraine would breach the dam and leave their forces isolated. This was being canvassed before the withdrawal.
Russian fortifications close to the left bank will be flooded. There won’t be much time to re-establish them once the ground dries out sufficiently for an offensive. It looks as though the balance of benefits is with Ukraine.
Who knew slaughtering or expelling all the ethnic Germans in Eastern Europe

Answer the question.
Why in what you posted yesterday did Martin Armstrong (the author) make out as though the USSR ending was a bad, nefarious and underhanded thing (done by Ukraine, where he even forgot about Lithuania leaving first) and make it part of a narrative about the “destruction of Russia”, all planned by Ukraine?
Please explain.
IT have asked me not to click on these sort of links.
Just after the Mabo judgment, a deputation of the local indigenous waited on the local police sergeant. They informed him that “Mabo means we don’t have to obey whitefella law.” I would have liked to have heard his reply.

Real Estate, Blackrock & Dodd-Frank
QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong, I have a question about Blackrock buying up all these homes. It seems that the Dodd-Frank bill empowered Blackrock to buy up all of these homes and rent them out. Was this all rigged for their benefit?
Thank you for being a rare light of truth in these dark times.
ED
ANSWER: Dodd-Frank Title XIV establishes minimum standards for all mortgage products. It was a very clever piece of legislation that I would suspect Blackrock had a hand in creating. It prevents making a home mortgage loan unless they reasonably determine that the borrower can repay the loan based on the borrower’s credit history, current income, expected income, and other factors. The solution was to stiffen regulations to trap people into being perpetual renters and in reality shuts them down from ever owning a home. This has created the marketplace for Blackrock. It would be one hell of a coincidence that this provision came from a politician who did not understand the economy. It has the fingerprints of something much more sinister.
The Dodd-Frank Act effectively legislated that banks cannot allow a low-income person to own a home. Obama claimed that to make sure that a crisis like this never happens again, he signed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act into law which was indeed the most far-reaching Wall Street reform in history. It was pitched that the Dodd-Frank legislation would prevent the excessive risk-taking that led to the financial crisis. Yet it did so by outlawing home ownership for the low-income and trapping them as perpetual rental clients for Blackrock. That was very convenient. Quite a few hands were in the cookie jar on this one. The wording was discriminatory for the potential home buyer rather than targeting the practices of the banks who made the mortgages and resold them. The better way would be to penalize the original mortgage lender for their lack of fiduciary duty than to codify restrictions on the consumer.”

Russia …… are much weaker than before the war.
Much weaker? Not sure about that. No doubt that the war has had a financial impact but assorted western figures paint a strange picture. For example, Trading Economics suggest that the GDP per capita has slipped from $US10,216 in 2021 to $10,100 in 2022 whereas both the World Bank and Statista say the 2021 GDP per capita was ~$US12, 200 and the World Bank say the figure will increase to $US15,443 in 2022. (but is forecast to slip to $US14,400 in 2023).
Who knows. I’ve always thought of Russian GDP, whether at a country level or per capita, was cast in the same manner as China – namely, it is what the Kremlin (or the CCP) say it is. Some things can be readily measured by western observers but others…. not so much.
Setting aside the financial element, the other test is the people and their overall ‘contentment’; the availability of fresh foods and other goods; and, whether they can afford to heat/cool their homes, drive their cars, and generally afford the accoutrements of life etc. From everything I have seen on the internet plus the direct reports of family/friends in Russia, life hasn’t changed. Indeed, our family/friends report that new (smallish) factories are opening to feed the demand for assorted goods. More factories means more jobs and more money in the community. And this is just in a small pocket of Russia south from Rostov-on-Don through Krasnodar and Pyatigorsk to the Georgian border. I can’t imagine it’s any different heading north from Rostov towards Volgograd and Moscow and I’m told that St Petersburg and surrounds is booming.
Everybody knows that the rate of goods flowing in from China has increased and the rate of western goods via Turkey (in particular) is a torrent. (Turkish wholesalers, by the way, must be laughing and never want the war to end). But none of this can happen if the people cannot afford those goods. Russians are still travelling overseas to holiday and Turkey, Dubai, Thailand, Indonesia and others are thick with Russian tourists as are assorted destinations in the Caribbean.
So, for the average Russian, life hasn’t changed very much (for some, at all) and for a others, has probably improved with new factories opening and the consequent jobs. Even McDonalds is still open, albeit operating under another name.
We all know that the western media loves to paint a bleak picture of life in Russia but the reality, on the ground, is far different to the western propaganda.
(this is not to downplay the lives lost in the conflict which has caused terrible misery for some families.)

The expurgated versions, where they have happy endings.
What I mean is the Russian conventional military is much less capable.
Having nuclear weapons as your first choice really limits your options. Emigration (roughly 1 million Russians since the start of the war) means a draft has much less potential and you have lost the best-skilled workers needed for modern weapons manufacture and maintenance. The long-term existential threat to Russia (specifically in the Far East) is China. Apart from some drunken fool from MICIMATT, no Westerners seriously want to “end” Russia, it’s a disaster waiting to happen. (Russia as we know it has existed more or less for over 300 years now, fifty years longer than the USA and as long as a formalised Great Britain). A permanently smaller and less capable Russia does not help the West except temporarily in that our politicians clash with Putin. Tacitly enabling China which managed to avoid outright failures of Communism and may never fall as expected does not help the West as their rhetoric has slowly changed from insular ethnic policies to regional domination and exceptionalism. I never believed the “end of history” nonsense, applying it to a nation many times the size of a small Middle Eastern kleptocracy would be insane as it hardly worked in the Middle East anyway.

Speedbox, that isn’t necessarily a good thing if the reason these factories are springing up is because (likely government subsidies) Russia is substituting for imports they are import with ease. This has the impact of actually depressing purchasing power, and therefore living standards, if domestic production is more expensive.

Ive kept 1/2 an eye on Russian farm prices for about 10 years or so (as well as US and others).
I expected the prices to crater with the war, if anything they seem to be higher.
One consequence of this is that prior to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the level of self-sufficiency in essential food products in Russia was relatively high. For instance, according to Rosstat, in 2020, the level of self-sufficiency in potatoes in Russia was 89.2%, 84% for milk, over 100% for meat, 86.3% for vegetables and melons, and 42.4% for fruits and berries.
.
I suppose it could be wealthy Russkis parking their money at home ?
The war has been a calamity for the Ukrainian people, and a catastrophe for the Russkis, many thousands dead/wounded and a generation of wealth squandered.
With so far China and the Vatican being the only ones trying to negotiate a peace/ceasefire. (after Macron was slapped down by the EU for daring to suggest talks would be good)
Yep. And we are still being woo’d by developers wanting to put 9 units on our lovely large block.
We are very happy to share it in a triplex of three stories with each one the three getting a whole floor Art Deco apartment with its own entrance and harbour views and sharing the garden. Developers are not getting their hands on our ‘parklike’ (sez the treeman) garden nor our orchard planted around the edges, which is doing so well now and beginning to fruit. I also think they underestimate the sort of shrieks and lawfare their development application might incur from the seven other homes that abut our fences.

Russia is most definitely not in a stronger position now than before they started the war. Same goes for Ukraine, even more so as they had less to lose.

I disagree. In times of war in Europe money flees to the USA. That happened in WW1 and WW2.
We started quite a good historical TV series last night – one of those sort where they have actors playing out the scenes and renowned professors offering comment on the scenarios. It was about the lead up to the Eastern Front conflict between the Nazis and Russia, with emphasis on the players, especially Hitler, Stalin and the key generals. It was very watchable so we’ll see the rest of it now. They emphasised how the general population in Berlin had no idea what the Barbarossa push would entail and they were partying as usual, while Stalin refused to accept spy information that the push was coming and for nearly a week when it started he hid out not knowing what to do.
Some few people could see it coming. I wonder what the hell we are sleep-walking into ourselves now.
