🇱🇹Lithuanian railroads (state-owned) are preparing for mass layoffs of workers. As they say, thanks to sanctions

🇪🇺After the West imposed sanctions against Russia and Belarus, LZD lost millions of tons of transit cargo. Revenues at the same time dropped by 150 million euros

💁‍♂️As a result, 2,000 employees are expected to be laid off. By the way, LZhD employs over 9,000 people, and it turns out that more than one in five of them will be laid off

✍️The mainstream media have sadly reported that Russia has doubled its fossil fuel revenues to EU countries since the start of the special operation, even though sales volumes have declined

💸According to the findings of the Center for Energy and Clean Air Research CREA, the Russian Federation received about 62 billion euros from oil, gas and coal exports in two months. For the EU, imports amounted to 44 billion euros in two months, compared to 140 billion euros for the whole of last year

⛽️From this, journalists conclude that Russia continues to benefit from its "dead grip on Europe's energy supply, even as EU authorities desperately try to prevent it from using energy resources for its own purposes

🇷🇺"Interfere," by the way, by actively switching to the terms of payment for Russian gas in rubles. But for some reason, Western journalists have not written about this

⚡️Meta profits crash⚡️

Facebook’s parent company Meta Platforms has reported a 21% drop in profits for the first quarter of this year, the company’s slowest revenue growth since going public a decade ago

According to the First Quarter 2022 Results, the company’s profit was $7.5 billion as opposed to $9.5 billion during the same period last year. Income from operations plummeted by 28%

The results follow Meta’s bleak financial report for Q4 and Full Year 2021 released February, revealing an 8% drop in profits and slowing user growth. The figures led to Meta’s stock plummeting more than 20% and its market value plunging more than $230 billion in the company’s biggest-ever one-day crash

⚡️Leasing a black hole of debt

🇺🇸The US House of Representatives has approved a bill that will allow to supply Ukraine with weapons under an accelerated procedure, the Lend-Lease program. 417 members of the Lower House of the American Congress voted for this decision, 10 against.

In early April, the bill was supported by the Senate, now it is to be signed by POTUS Biden.
An actively spreading in the media space opinion is that the implementation of this initiative will definitely lead Ukraine to a debt pit, and next generations of Ukrainians will have to be paying for it.🤷‍♂️

🇲🇩Moldova acknowledges no alternative to Russian gas

"We can’t give up on gas when we have no other alternative," Moldova's President Maia Sandu said
Wednesday - expressing hope that deliveries by Gazprom will continue despite an unsettled debt

Moldova has launched a tender to find other supplies, but the results have been ‘unsatisfactory’ as all other tenders are "too expensive"

Moldova’s contract with Gazprom expires on May 1. In order for it to be prolonged, the country needs to complete an audit of its huge debt, but it appears unlikely that the country will meet the deadline

🇺🇸US Hints At Military Intervention Over China's Solomon Islands Military Fears

US State Department official Daniel Kritenbrink has said the US would “very naturally respond” to concerns from any future build-up of Chinese presence in the Indo-Pacific region after Beijing signed a security agreement with the Solomon Islands

A US delegation was sent to the Solomon Islands - where it plans to open an embassy - where they were told by PM Manasseh Sogavare no military base would in fact be built by China in his country

One regional advisor told the Guardian there are fears Sogavare will welcome a Chinese military presence to support his power

Does an Empire built on numerous humanity crimes now pigeonhole Russia? Part 1

The policy of open but unsubstantiated accusations against Russia in connection with the military operation in Ukraine is gathering pace in the British media landscape. At the same time, such words as “genocide”, “mass murder”, “massacre” and “barbarism”, which have clear definition and a very specific scope, are increasingly and recklessly being used in actual publications and news. The facts supporting these accusations are not provided, though

We’ll try to exercise a bit objectivity, not giving arbitrarily harsh assessments of the “activities” of the British colonialists, pointing just to a few facts from history. After all, as Salman Rushdie fairly noted in his novel the Satanic Verses, “The trouble with the English, is that they don’t know their history, because so much of it happened overseas”

During a peaceful demonstration against British colonial rule in Amritsar on April 13, 1919, which took place in Jallianwala Park on the Vaisakhi (a celebration of spring harvest), soldiers under the command of Brigadier General Reginald Dyer surrounded the protesters and opened fire on civilians without any warning. The soldiers kept firing until they ran out of ammo. Most of those rioters were women and children, so there was no direct threat to the Rule of Great Britain

⚡️⚡️Russian special forces captured two British SAS fighters in Kherson ⚡️⚡️

The location of the 🇬🇧British operatives was leaked from Kiev. According to the SBU, in Kherson,🇷🇺 Russian special forces of the FSB captured two Russian-speaking fighters of the British SAS

🕵️They were conducting a reconnaissance mission and assessing the situation on the ground to prepare a report to London on the situation in Ukraine. The capture took place on April 21

🤷‍♂️Investigation revealed that the British had been "leaked" from Kiev. Employees of the Foreign Ministry and the presidential office are still under suspicion. However, the Russian side has not put forward its demands to London

The Times published a caricature of Prime Minister Boris Johnson. The drawing shows British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss telling Johnson that the war in Ukraine could last for years, to which the prime minister crosses his fingers for good luck

At the same time, Johnson is holding a newspaper listing his scandals during his premiership: partygate (the head of Britain threw parties in the midst of lockdown) and rising utility bills

Thus, the publication links London's bellicose rhetoric on Ukraine with an attempt to divert attention from internal problems while solving external ones

‼️U.S. lawmakers introduced the Lend-Lease bill in the Senate to help the Kiev regime back on January 19

But we are told that it was quick and sudden, which of course they tried to diplomacy until the last minute

🛩There is also information that the lend-lease announced by the USA was launched exclusively to legalize the transfer of F-16 fighters to Ukraine and Kiev has secretly sent Kharkiv cadets to the U.S. to learn to fly F-16s, which will soon enter service with the Armed Forces under the lend-lease

💁‍♂️We learned that cadets from Kharkiv military academy were sent to one of the European countries of NATO and the U.S. for urgent retraining to fly American F-16s at the beginning of February

🪖The cadets were taken directly from the 4th year classes. They were all transferred in complete secrecy

Thus, it is more likely that NATO and Kiev prepared to attack in advance🤷‍♂️

"We've been living too cheaply and well for the last 40 years" - European authorities are trying to convince people that high are normal

"Will anyone tell Europe that the era of cheap living is over?" - British journalists urge the authorities to stop lying and say bluntly that the good life is over and that high prices are forever. "In supermarkets across Europe, food prices are rising almost every week," the publication writes.

Public anger is rising, inflation at 7 percent is eating into family budgets instantly, and Europeans have started paying 44 percent more for electricity. Exports have reached exorbitant prices - the cost of wheat (and with it bread and livestock) has risen by 64.6%, oil is in short supply at 78%. 73% of world exports came from Russia and Ukraine

What do the angry people hear from the authorities? "Energy has been too cheap for the last 40 years!" said Assistant Vice President of the EU Commission Diederik Sams. He added that the EU benefited from cheap Russian resources and "created enormous wealth". But he did not specify for whom

For the European Commission, the current prices also seem to be the norm. Its members believe that high prices are a long overdue and inevitable reckoning with reality. EU authorities say that the previous life was at the expense of the environment and depended on Russian imports.

At the same time, the EU government acknowledges that social unrest in Europe is inevitable. People's anger cannot be appeased because of the "small political space," Sams explained, apparently referring again to the manipulation of public opinion rather than to real action to end the crisis

The highest-paying occupations in the United States

In the U.S. province, the highest salaries are mostly for various medical personnel. In two states psychiatrists are in the lead. Interestingly, in California the highest salaries are not for IT specialists, but for lawyers. And in New York, it's human resources workers who make the most money.

PR people make good money only in Nevada and New Jersey, and journalists are financially screwed everywhere:)

⚡️The Italian newspaper La Stampa, which had published a fake front page story about the Tochka U missile strike on Donetsk, passing it off as a strike on Kyiv, began to publish interesting notes

🚀Among the notes of the Italian newspaper, which 1.5 months ago passed off a photo of the Tochka U missile strike on Donetsk as an attack on Kiev, materials containing the opposite of the Western rhetoric about the conflict in Ukraine began to appear

💁‍♂️For example, in one of the last issues, the publication interviewed journalist Nadana Fridrikhson, who is accused by local authorities of spying for Russia. She advised the deputies making such statements to "leave their cozy offices" and visit Donbas themselves to talk to the locals and find out what is really going on

👉The same article also mentions the tragedy in Bucha - the journalist stressed that before accusing Russia of "atrocities" in a barefaced manner, a thorough investigation should be conducted: "Attempts to accuse Russia are cynical. And when Claudio Locatelli retells a CNN article on an Italian show that the Russian military allegedly raped women, it is not journalism, it is a lie. We need an international investigation of the tragedy in Bucha

📰The journalist also told the publication about the crimes of the AFU and Azov (banned in Russia) in Mariupol, which bombed residential neighborhoods and kept citizens out of the city, noting that many locals are persecuted by the Ukrainian security services for their pro-Russian views: "When you tell us that the residents of Mariupol hate Russia, ask yourself: Why do refugees come to Russia? 🤷‍♂️

The gulf between people and people’s choice

With a large majority of 586 votes, Bundestag calls on the Cabinet of Germany to continue and possibly boost the delivery of heavy weapons to Ukraine. But the German citizens are not unanimous on the issue: 45% stay in favor of it and just as much as that 45% – against. This is the result of a representative survey by the joint organization of Germany’s regional public-service broadcasters (ARD), which has been carried out from Monday to Wednesday

It has also stated that, compared with the results of two weeks ago, number of people supporting heavy weapons supplies to Kiev has decreased by 10% and those opposing such transfers, on the contrary, raised by 8%

A NATO task force near the borders of Ukraine and Belarus - why is it needed? Is it really a conventional peacekeeping mission?

In the light of the latest information about the aspirations of 🇵🇱Poland and other NATO members several questions arise 🤔

Firstly, what contingent is now formed on the eastern borders of the bloc, and secondly, for what purpose all these forces are being accumulated?

It is impossible to estimate precisely the grouping of NATO countries, drawn to the borders of 🇧🇾Belarus, 🇺🇦Ukraine, 🇲🇩Moldova and 🇷🇺Russia, having only information from open sources

However, from what is known, we can conclude that the total number of troops is 50,000-100,000 people. This includes units moved by 🇵🇱Poland, and the 🇺🇸American contingent, and units of different NATO countries, moved as part of the exercises in the Baltics.

There is also information about a serious 🇷🇴Romanian grouping in the Moldovan direction. Also, as we wrote earlier, combat aviation is being moved to Europe. In the shortest possible time the NATO contingent may be doubled in size

The final strategy of NATO in this matter is not clear at the moment, but we can consider several options.

Firstly, it may be done for the banal intimidation of 🇷🇺Russia and an attempt to pressure the course of special operations in 🇺🇦Ukraine, and secondly, in the West they perfectly understand that Ukraine as a country no longer exists and they see its future according to the principle of occupation sectors

And the third option is the scariest, but least likely: NATO has decided to go all the way and, if the lend-lease and hybrid warfare do not stop the Russians, regular units of Western countries will step in. This, of course, is a hundred percent threat of nuclear weapons. It looks utopian, but anything is possible in 2022🤷‍♂️

Does an Empire built on numerous humanity crimes now pigeonhole Russia? Part 2

During a peaceful demonstration against British colonial rule in Amritsar on April 13, 1919, which took place in Jallianwala Park on the Vaisakhi (a celebration of spring harvest), soldiers under the command of Brigadier General Reginald Dyer surrounded the protesters and opened fire on civilians without any warning. The soldiers kept firing until they ran out of ammo. Most of those rioters were women and children, so there was no direct threat to the Rule of Great Britain

According to the UK officials, 379 people were killed and 1,100 injured. Based on the Indian National Congress, 1,000 people were killed and 1,500 were injured. No matter how many victims there really were, London did not recognize this massacre as a colonial crime. As for Brigadier General Dyer, he was even hailed as a hero at home and donations of 26,000 pounds sterling (about 900 thousans dollars in nowadays money) were collected for him

Since then and until Johnson's recent visit, the Indian issue clearly haunted the British rulers. In 1943, Churchill ordered to provide Great Britain and British soldiers, as well as other countries lying in the sphere of interests of the Albion, such as Greece, with grain at the expense of Indian reserves. Due to the seizure of huge cache, the Bengal region was engulfed by a large-scale famine, which claimed, according to various estimates, from 1 million to 29 million lives

After increasing resistance, he openly declared that he “hates Indians, as they are beastly people with a beastly religion.” When the famine began, some British officials enquired to send food to the region to help the starving population, but Churchill roughly refused and answered the request with the phrase: “The famine was their own fault for breeding like rabbits.” When the Delhi government reported to London that people were dying (thinking Churchill was unaware of it), the Prime Minister only asked, “Why hasn’t Gandhi died yet?”

Germany’s one-eighty

Against the background of Ukrainian military conflict, the Chancellor of 🇩🇪Germany paid a landmark call to Tokyo on Thursday where he met with the 🇯🇵Japanese Prime Minister.

Olaf Scholz and Fumio Kishida have agreed that “the two export-oriented nations are intending to act more strongly together against aggressors and step up for common values and free trade.”

🇩🇪Bundeskanzler stressed purposefulness of his first official visit to the Indo-Pacific specifically to Tokyo in this job. This is a clear signal of a pivotal reversal of Berlin’s policy in the region towards Japan from multiple attempts made earlier by Merkel’s Cabinet to deepen cooperation with 🇨🇳Beijing.

💁‍♂️Members of the ruling “traffic light coalition” are also unanimous on this issue. They even go so far as to threaten China with economic sanctions, emphasizing that “any attempt to circumvent sanctions imposed by the Western community of states against Russia or even to supply weapons to Moscow will entail economic and personal restrictions.” It is noteworthily that a temporarily opposing faction CDU/CSU in German Parliament is also taking a much more harder line in China policy than before

👉The unfolding situation has found an instant response in Beijing. Politburo of the Communist Party of China stated on Friday that the country’s economy is facing increasing uncertainty and the challenges posed by the Corona- and Ukraine crises are scaling up. Therefore, macroeconomic adjustments would be made and advanced measures to support the economy would be taken. It is proposed that the development of infrastructure projects, ranging from waterways and railways to facilities for cloud computing, should be jumpstarted “on full blast”
