"Przekleństwo dla Rosji". Donald Trump przez przypadek podtopił Moskwę. "Ambicje Putina zmiażdżone"

2 weeks ago | wiadomosci.onet.pl | Jason Corcoran

Jak na ironię losu, wojna celna i lekkomyślna polityka handlowa Trumpa sprawiły, że rosyjskie akcje gwałtownie spadły, a ceny ropy osiągnęły najniższe poziomy od czterech lat — potencjalnie zatapiając rosyjską gospodarkę w sposób, którego prezydent USA starał się uniknąć. Globalne trzęsienie ziemi. Donald Trump zrobił największy błąd — zjednoczył swoich rywali. "To spędza mu sen z powiek" Ropa Brent kosztuje obecnie zaledwie 63 dol.

2 weeks ago | themoscowtimes.com | Jason Corcoran

U.S. President Donald Trump’s policies, once seen as a potential lifeline for his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin, are finally delivering a harsh and unintended punishment to Moscow. In a stunning irony, Trump’s tariff war and reckless trade policies have sent Russian stocks plummeting and oil prices crashing to their lowest levels in four years — potentially sinking the Russian economy in the very way he sought to avoid.

When the compromised Signal chat involving senior U.S. officials and their mishandling of classified military info surfaced, the Trump administration’s frantic, disjointed efforts to spin, deny, and deflect felt all too familiar. It felt like a script straight from the Kremlin’s playbook.
Hedge Funds, Beware — Russia Is a Bad Investment - The Moscow Times

1 month ago | themoscowtimes.com | Jason Corcoran

President Vladimir Putin’s move to allow major U.S. hedge funds to divest their frozen Russian securities marks a tentative first step in Russia’s bid to re-enter global capital markets. But do not be fooled — this is far from a breakthrough. With trust between Russia and the West shattered and bridges burned, rebuilding economic ties will require far more than a few opaque and dubious deals.
Reopening the Skies to Russian Flights Would Be a Mistake

1 month ago | themoscowtimes.com | Jason Corcoran

The U.S. is reportedly considering reopening its airspace for direct Russian flights, a move that would throw a lifeline to Putin’s war economy and a ticket back to Western luxury for the elites. If Aeroflot, the Kremlin’s flagship carrier, regains access to American airspace, the EU would likely be pressured to follow suit, unraveling sanctions across the board.
Forget ESG – Western Firms Will Rush Back to Russia When War Ends - The Moscow Times

If Donald Trump — by sheer audacity or dumb luck — manages to broker a ceasefire in Ukraine, brace yourself. It will not just be diplomats celebrating. Western corporate executives will break out the champagne too. The ink on any peace deal will have barely dried before Western multinationals and expats rush back into Russia, chasing profits with little regard for geopolitical or ethical considerations.

Honeytrap Russian Spy Scandal Shows Ireland Is Europe’s Soft Underbelly

Oct 10, 2024 | themoscowtimes.com | Jason Corcoran

Dublin's storied pubs this week were buzzing with salacious gossip about a politician compromised by a Russian honeytrap. But the real issue is Ireland's incredible vulnerability to espionage and other forms of influence. Russian intelligence used a strikingly beautiful female agent to recruit the politician, codenamed Cobalt, as an agent aiming to – among other things – undermine relations between Britain, Ireland and the EU during Brexit negotiations.
