The Kaliningrad region fishing enterprise "For the Motherland" has started bringing in migrant workers from India due to a local labour shortage – according to media reports

We began bringing in Indians because we believe there are many of them, and they are different from others who have been in Russia for a long time and are unlikely to gain citizenship.

The company’s chairman of the board added that, in his view, "without foreign workers, Kaliningrad would struggle economically and with taxes". However, he cautioned against "granting too much citizenship" to migrants or relocating their families to the region, "as their numbers have grown significantly".

The estimated salary for foreign workers brought in by the company is at least 70,000 rubles (about $740 USD) without mentioning the healthcare.

If Trump starts drilling oil (as he promised in his declaration of lowering gas prices), petroleum economies will collapse.

What do you notice?

How clinically retarded do you have to be to fire an ICBM with no nuclear warhead (useless, no difference from other missiles), and not only that, but you choose a target that has been destroyed and abandoned 2 years ago?

Day 1003 of three day special military operation to denazify and demilitarize Ukraine. I am grand strategist. I am 4d chess player. We are superpower. Please take me seriously. Do not ridicule me.

Recent polls show widespread opposition in South Korea to directly supplying weapons to Ukraine, with 82% of respondents disapproving.

Opposition stems from concerns about domestic backlash, geopolitical consequences, and limited perceived benefits.

A little history lesson.

When the Soviet Union collapsed, Russia terminated the "Friendship Treaty" with North Korea, basically recognising both and having a status quo, much like everyone else.

In 1998, the biggest financial crisis (yet) has hit Russia, and Korea offered cheap loans to them. When the payment time has come, Russia did not have liquid to pay, so, they agreed on something else. That being several dozens and hundreds of Soviet vehicles, crucial industrial technology that have built modern Korean MIC. They've honored this agreement, because it wasn't just free gifts, but a payment for the debt.

When Russia invaded and annexed Crimea, Korea did not impose any sanctions at all. Even after the full scale invasion in 2022, Korean government kept their ties to Russia and the sanctions were minimal, not affecting their military technology exchange and trade.

However, seeing that Russia re-signed the "Friendship Treaty" with the North, some conclusions were made about partnership with the Russians.

In practice, though, via third party countries, Korea has given Ukraine 750k~ 152mm shells. So, in this context, the "weapons" being referred are the Soviet vehicles that cannot be given away.

Old-timers probably remember Ilya Goryachev - in the early Putin era, there was such a "Russian nationalist" loyal to the authorities, the leader of the "Russian Image" organization. The anti-system right called "Russian Image" "Bitch Image", which quite characterizes this movement.

Then the FSB pulled Goryachev in the "BORN case", he quickly gave the necessary testimony, and hoped to survive thanks to this. But in the end, he still sat down for life in the same "BORN case" - now those he turned in testified against him in court. They were brought from the colonies, they stood in court in robes.

During the trial, federal TV channel operators had a huge problem with Goryachev: they had to film him in the court aquarium so that his T-shirt with the huge innoscription "CRIMEA IS OURS" was not visible. That was just the time of the Crimean hysteria.

But "Crimea is ours" did not help Goryachev, nor did his cooperation with the FSB before, nor did his heart-rending desire to be useful to the Presidential Administration even earlier. Upon hearing the life sentence, he fainted.

Why am I recalling this? Now, they are reporting that Goryachev has started to scribble lawsuits in his prison colony against literally every media outlet that has ever mentioned him - from the liberal Novaya Gazeta to the pro-government NTV. The amounts claimed there are some kind of schizoid, hundreds of millions of rubles.

Goryachev plans to send this money to "the needs of the SVO". Namely: the Espanyol unit, the Rusich DShRG and (attention) the Russian Special Forces University in Kadyrov's Chechnya.

This is the path of the "nationalist-statists" who appeared sometime in the murky Surkov era. A lackey's desire to serve the Presidential Administration, murky affairs, then idiotic criminal cases, bending over to the FSB and the finale - a lackey's desire to serve, but already in a cell for life sentences. The circle is closed.

The funniest thing: Goryachev and others like him always considered themselves very cunning manipulators. But all one hundred percent of the guys who consider themselves cunning manipulators are just ordinary fools. Such is the interesting phenomenon of life.

I swore to refrain from posting anything about the sand wars, but it's too ridiculous not to be noticed or spoken of.

It took almost 6 years for Assadist forces to take control of Aleppo, the second biggest city in Syria, with Russia and Iran heavily assisting them, both on the land and in the sky. All this progress has been nullified in less than 3 days.

Russia continues to lose their global influence and regional power status at the cost of continuing to wage the war against Ukraine.
