That's cool, but I'd like to see them start selling any meaningful amounts of their gold reserves. Putin was preparing for sanctions since 2006 and they currently hold 2,335.85 tonnes of gold that is worth approximately $144.94 billion. They also produce circa $20 billion worth of gold per year with plans to ramp it up a bit. Not enough to cover the war effort, but it helps them. Once this chart goes down we'll know they're in trouble.

The question I have is - how to get India off of the Russian oil supply?

I think the two-party system you've got there has got you by the balls. No offence.

Its occasional coding by night for me.

I think the next logical step for Brazil is to revoke a license to operate in that spectrum, rendering all user terminals illegal.

The ground antennas that enable the service totally broadcast from inside Brazil.

Thankfully for us, the spacecraft that deployed the sail contains four cameras that can capture a panoramic view of both the reflective sail and the accompanying composite booms. The first of the high-resolution imagery is expected to be accessible on Wednesday, Sept. 4.

I can't wait.

While you may be right that joining BRICS might not be the greatest option I don't think they have broad choice at this point. What would you do in their place?

This is no kindergarden, there are no winner and loser clubs, only national interests and geopolitics. Membership is voluntary, so Palestine can chose whatever best serves their country.

Seems like Palestine is being pushed into that sphere of influence by lack of support from western countries.
