In the immediate aftermath of the US Treasury Department’s extraordinary decision to impose sanctions on the Russian businessman Oleg Deripaska and by extension his Rusal group, a very interesting article penned by the financial analyst Tim Ashe appeared in the Financial Times.
Discussing the sanctions imposed on Deripaska and Rusal, Ashe made this highly interesting comment
The Russian government has confirmed that Prime Minister Netanyahu of Israel has been invited to attend Russia’s forthcoming 9th May Victory Day Celebration as the guest of honour. He will also hold high level talks with the Russian government and with President Putin.
The Kremlin’s website has published a statement to that effect
A week ago the British media were full of reports from the usual anonymous sources of a breakthrough in the Skripal case.
Allegedly the British authorities by comparing CCTV pictures from Salisbury and details of travellers to and from Britain had been to identify the persons who were supposedly responsible for the attack on Sergey and Yulia Skripal.
These stories came with further stories of a Russian James Bond style assassin – “Gordon” aka “Mihails Savickis” – who together with his team had supposedly carried out the attack.
Here is Vladimir Putin in extemporaneous discussion and interview (translated into English):
This next video shows Putin offering Russia’s billionaires the choice between being dispossessed of their companies by the Government, or else signing an agreement with the Government, promising that they will henceforth place the welfare of their workers and of the people of Russia, above their own personal welfare and wealth, and only one billionaire there, Oleg Deripaska, hesitated, at which point Putin treated him contemptuously and Deripaska promptly signed.
Charles Bausman, the editor-in-chief of Russia Insider, has chosen a path well-trodden: he decided to woo his audience by discovering the “Jewish origin” of today’s wars and tensions.

In that time, we called these major events right, where most were dead wrong:
