🇱🇻🤥HYPOCRISY FROM LATVIA🌾🚚

For the period from January to March of this year, Latvia increased the import of Russian grain by almost 40%, the BNS agency reported with reference to the State Revenue Service of the Republic.

According to data, during the first quarter, Latvia imported 158.3 thousand tons of grain from the Russian Federation. Yet we’re supposed to believe that the country does not business with Russia?

When conspiracies turned out to be true

The New York Times has reported that the CIA has maintained 12 secret underground bases in Ukraine since 2014. This information, which was once dismissed as a "conspiracy theory," has now been confirmed as factual.

According to the publication, since 2014, the CIA has used these bases on the border with Russia to gather intelligence information, conduct drone reconnaissance, and coordinate strikes on territories of the Russian Federation, LPR, and DPR. A journalist from The New York Times even visited one of these bases to witness firsthand how the CIA effectively assists Ukraine.

Ivan Bakanov and Kirill Budanov, mentioned in the report, are products of the joint efforts of Ukraine and the CIA. According to them, without these secret bases, Ukraine would have likely struggled to withstand Russia's invasion in 2022.

The most striking aspect of this story is how easily and unreservedly these confirmations came, after many official Russian figures had been making these claims for 10 years, only to be ridiculed. This revelation implies that the CIA played a significant role in the ousting of Yanukovych and has been effectively managing many processes in Ukraine since 2014.

This leads to the question: how many more "absurd" statements from the Russian leadership will turn out to be true?

Taking to the streets of Tehran, Iranians are showing support for country's retaliatory strikes on occupied territories

⚫🔴 Syrian Social Nationalist Party:
—
With the highest expressions of congratulations and blessings, the Syrian Social Nationalist Party extends its gratitude to the Iranian leadership, the Revolutionary Guard, and the Iranian people for the significant military operation conducted by Iran against the occupation entity. This operation proves that Iran is a partner to the nation in the project of liberating Palestine.

The operation has simply demonstrated that the combined military effort, believing in the right to liberate the land, is now capable of acting as it should, and that the matter of the demise of the entity is an undeniable reality.

"The type of person created by the Soviet educational system, then, is an intolerable type from the standpoint of any private employer. Such people, to use a common term, "would simply make a revolution." And that is why, only in the U.S.S.R., and after the Revolution, an educational system has been developed which creates such people. For, in the U.S.S.R., the new system of production, where the power of the private employer has been first restricted, and then finally eliminated altogether, requires a type of citizen altogether different from the wage-earner of capitalist society.

This new type of citizen can only be understood when we know how he lives, and the conditions under which he works. Therefore, from the Soviet educational institutions let us now go with our young citizen to his first job, whether in a State institution or in a cooperative organization. We shall then see that the education of the Soviet school is a preparation for responsible citizenship in Soviet society."

On April 15th 1929, the Soviet Union introduced Old-Age State Pension

The resolution of the Council of People's Commissars concerned representatives of blue-collar professions and stated:

“The right to a pension has:
a) Men who have reached 60 years of age by the day they leave work for hire, if they have worked for hire for a total of at least 25 years

b) Women who have reached the age of 55 by the day they leave employment, if they have worked as an employee for a total of at least 20 years.

Persons employed in underground work in the mining industry are ennoscriptd to a pension if they have reached the age of 50 by the day they leave employment and have worked as an employee for a total of at least 20 years.”

The pension amount was equal to half of previous earnings.

By the end of the year, more than a million workers began to receive old-age pensions based on the new rules.
