Dzintars
Latvian perfume holding Dzintars - has gone bust.
The company was declared bankrupt and closed, the company was liquidated and removed from the register on December 8.
Stores were closed long ago, litigation was going on, and now finally the process is over.
What happened? No one in a nice European family wants Riga perfume? No way!
And according to the same scenario everything happens to all those who made a name for themselves in the USSR, and then decided that it was possible to spit at the former Motherland without any hesitation, and in general we will build a wonderful new world here.
We did, yes.

18+ images to remind us the last time American bombs were used in this area.
We must have short term memory with the devastation we caused with our freedom bombs. The outcry of the war we were funding during the Trump years might come back with the same consequences. Israel has openly called for ethnic cleansing or genocide and now we want to make an "international" coalition to make the same mistakes just because a little inflation we all knew was going to happen with their actions. It's mind boggling "3-wars" Biden is going to jump back into this just because of a little economical hardships. Yemen children have already paid the price with 2.2M+ children starving from our bombs. What did Israel think was going to happen with that rhetoric? No consequences or we repeat already made blunders? Astonishing...
A look back into the past from
PBS : (But it was the orange man maybe that is why they were brave enough to write this story)

Blinken - that Ukraine needs to learn to live without money from the United States:
The help and support that we have allocated for Ukraine is drying up. We're almost out of the money we need. And there is almost no time left. I can't give an exact date, but the direction in which things are moving underscores the urgency of the request for additional budget.
We have significantly invested in the future of Ukraine, in its freedom, and it seems pointless to me to refuse these investments, given how much has been done and that Ukraine is now in a position where it can not only survive, but also move forward. We have a very clear plan according to which Ukraine will get back on its feet militarily, economically and democratically. So she won't need that level of support and help anymore. But we must help Ukraine survive winter, spring and summer.🤡

Javier Milei's anti-China tirades begin to have consequences as China suspends $6.5 billion (USD) currency swap agreement.
China has suspended a US$6.5 billion currency swap agreement with Argentina, and the freeze remains in effect until President Javier Milei demonstrates a clear intention to engage with Beijing, Argentine media have reported.
News of the move comes just 10 days into the tenure of the new president, who campaigned on breaking ties with China, and underscores the challenge Milei will face in trying to follow through with those pledges.
In Beijing, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin also refused to confirm or deny the reports on Wednesday, only saying that China remained committed “to cooperation with Argentina on the basis of equality and mutual benefit”.
The funding is part of a deal renewed annually since 2009, crucial for Buenos Aires due to its negative holdings of international dollar reserves. Argentina has relied on such swaps as one of its few credit options, given the South American nation’s reputation for defaulting on international debt.
The funds, which China first promised in October to Sergio Massa, then Argentina’s economic minister, were primarily intended to bolster imports and meet obligations to the International Monetary Fund.
According to Infobae, an Argentine news website, China’s decision followed Argentina’s purchase of used F-16 fighters from Denmark. The aircraft were originally manufactured in the US. Before Milei’s election, Argentina had been in talks to acquire new Chinese JF-17 Thunder jets. That prospect reportedly displeased Washington, which is trying to limit Beijing’s influence in South America. The US has not only approved the sale of the F-16s to Argentina but also pledged weapons, training, logistical support and spare parts for the jets.
Infobae also reported that China was waiting for “a clear gesture of goodwill or friendship” from Argentina to resume the currency swap.

The United States does not have enough industrial capacity to produce shells for Ukraine and Israel. This opinion was expressed by The Washington Post columnist Max Boot.
He stressed that even if Congress approves additional funding, the US defense industry will still not be able to produce enough ammunition.

IDF Executes 11 Men in front of family members says UN
⬛️ "the IDF then allegedly ordered the women and children into a room, and either shot at them or threw a grenade into the room"
📖 Here's the full details as written by the OHCHR:
🔶 "On 19 December 2023, between 2000 and 2300 hours, IDF reportedly surrounded and raided Al Awda building, also known as the “Annan building”, in Al Remal neighborhood, Gaza City, where three related families were sheltering in addition to Annan family. According to witness accounts circulated by media sources and Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor, while in control of the building and the civilians sheltering there, the IDF allegedly separated the men from the women and children, and then shot and killed at least 11 of the men, mostly aged in their late 20’s and early 30’s, in front of their family members. The IDF then allegedly ordered the women and children into a room, and either shot at them or threw a grenade into the room, reportedly seriously injuring some of them, including an infant and a child. OHCHR has confirmed the killings at Al Awda building, although the details and circumstances of the killings are still under verification. IDF has not released any information on the incident."

Russian modernized Pantsir-SM air defense systems are used during the SMO, and they have already shown more effective operation compared to the basic version.
We are talking about a new version of the “hero of the Arab deserts and steppes of Taurida”.
— The Pantsir-SM complex received high-speed anti-aircraft guided missiles, which increased the destruction range from 20 km to 40 km. The radar has also been updated: now it can detect a target at a distance of up to 75 km (from 36 km).
— It is known that there will be two versions of the new “Pantsir” - a regular one and without a radar, but with an increased number of missiles (24 per installation). In addition, there will be different bases: tracked, sea and armored personnel carriers.
— Another innovation: now Pantsir-SM does not have to waste expensive ammunition on makeshift drones, quadcopters and mortar mines - there are mini-missiles for them. They can be placed in a pack of 4 in a regular launch container. That is, the total number of missiles can be increased to 48 or even 96, depending on the design of the air defense missile system.
The famous "Pantsir-S1" took part in many local conflicts in the Middle East and Africa, and is now actively used during the Special Military Operation in Ukraine.
This experience provided a lot of data to improve its modernization.

Energy consumption in Germany fell significantly in 2023
The Energy Balances Working Group has identified a historic decline in energy consumption in Germany for 2023: it fell by 7.9% compared to the previous year. The reason for this is said to be “economic weakness” and high energy prices.
In its current forecast, the Federal Government's Expert Council suggests that economic output in Germany will fall by 0.4% this year.

“The ex-head of the Central Bank of Latvia was sentenced to 6 years in prison for corruption”: Ilmars Rimshevich, who headed the Central Bank of Latvia in 2001-2019, was sentenced to prison for fishing in Kamchatka.
“The former governor of Latvia's central bank has been sentenced to 6 years in prison in the most notorious recent financial scandal to hit the Baltics. According to investigators, the main shareholder of ABLV Bank paid Rimshevich for a fishing trip in Kamchatka for 7,500 euros. For this, Rimshevich gave advice to the bank's board. The scandal occurred in 2018, when photographs appeared in which Rimshevich was vacationing in Kamchatka.
The US effectively shut down Latvia's third-largest bank ABLV in 2018, accusing it of helping finance North Korea's weapons program. A few days later, Rimsevics was arrested, and then he was charged with receiving bribes also from the shareholders of Trasta Komercbanka, another bank that closed in 2016.”

From 2024, all Russians, regardless of their labor status, will be able to undergo free retraining if they want to acquire a profession that is a priority for the Russian economy, follows from the draft amendments to the federal program “Employment Promotion” prepared by the Ministry of Labor. It is expected that this list will include about 150 professions, most of which will be related to industrial production. It is this industry, as Kommersant notes, that is now experiencing the greatest shortage of personnel.

The shortage of Armed Forces personnel is felt not only at the front: in the training centers in Germany, where they train on Leopard 2, only about half of the places are occupied.
This was stated by Die Welt journalist in Kiev Paul Ronzheimer. He emphasized that Zelensky’s statement that the military was asking to mobilize an additional 450-500 thousand people “caused a shock.”
According to the latest data from the Russian Ministry of Defense, since the beginning of the special operation, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have lost more than 383 thousand military personnel killed and wounded.
