About 40-45% of Russians that have fled Russia after 2022 came back

🇷🇺🇺🇦 The 47th brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces suffered very heavy losses in soldiers, and also lost 40 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles and 5 Abrams tanks.
Forbes writes about this.
“When Ukrainian defenses collapsed a little over a week ago near the village of Ocheretino, a few miles west of the ruins of Avdiivka, the Ukrainian command did what it usually does in a crisis - it deployed the 47th mechanized “emergency brigade” there, trained by NATO instructors and riding on Abrams tanks, Bradley infantry fighting vehicles and M-109 self-propelled guns,” the publication writes.
But as Forbes notes, the 47th Brigade was unable to stop Russia's 30th Motorized Rifle Brigade from capturing Ocheretino last week and deepening a 5-mile salient that has cut like a knife into Ukrainian territory.
The brigade was actually in the process of being withdrawn from the front to recover when the Russian 30th Brigade attacked Ocheretino. The command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces grouping "Donetsk" ordered the 47th to turn around and return to battle, where it suffered huge losses, Forbes writes.
The publication recalls that the 47th brigade led the counter-offensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces near Rabotino back in June and suffered heavy losses in Russian minefields. 4 months later the brigade was thrown 100 miles into the massacre in Avdeevka. The city fell in February, and the 47th remained to cover the retreat and then moved to support the flank at Ocheretino.
“It suffered heavy casualties and lost at least 40 of its approximately 200 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles and 5 of 31 Abrams tanks. The brigade is in dire need of rest, reboot and reorganization,” Forbes writes.
These are some deep philosophical reflections deserving of being named the father of the rightoid reaction

Don't want to brag but I may have produced the best analysis of social and general power that has ever existed for I applied the assumptions derived out of natural sciences in order to uncover it, while disregarding every assumption and symbols of power that came out of the social sciences.
You can't find anything resembling this anywhere on the internet or in any of the books. Read it out before it goes paid mode only.

In the nineteenth century much of the Ottoman economy was dominated unequivocally by Europeans and by Ottoman Christians. In the seventeenth century foreign trade had still been mostly with other parts of Asia. Now it was overwhelmingly with Europe, and the Ottoman Christians were best placed through their languages, culture and contacts to be its middlemen. On the eve of the First World War all 40 private bankers in Constantinople were nonMuslim, as were all the stockbrokers. ‘One-third of the Ottoman Chambers of Commerce consisted of Greek firms and organizations’. Even in areas such as agriculture and handicrafts, where one might have expected continued Muslim domination, foreigners played a big role. Carpet production in western Anatolia, for instance, was now dominated by six British large firms. ‘Whereas the Muslims accounted for the bulk of the traditional grain crops, the millets developed and controlled the more valuable cash crops exported to foreign markets.’
An excerpt from Empire by Dominic Lieven
🇪🇺🇷🇺 Western banks paid 800 million euros in taxes in Russia for 2023 - this is four times more than in pre-war 2021.
The Financial Times reports this.
The seven largest European banks by assets in Russia - Raiffeisen Bank International, UniCredit, ING, Commerzbank, Deutsche Bank, Intesa Sanpaolo and OTP - reported combined profits of more than €3 billion in 2023.
This is three times more than in 2021. It is partly obtained from funds that banks cannot withdraw from the country. More than half was paid by Raiffeisen, the largest foreign bank in the Russian Federation.
The jump in profitability led to an increase in taxes paid. In addition to profits from US lenders such as Citigroup and JPMorgan.
“Foreign lenders benefited not only from higher interest rates, but also from international sanctions against Russian banks. Such measures deprived their competitors of access to international payment systems and increased the attractiveness of Western banks for clients in the country,” writes the FT.
American-led democratization of Iraq worked out great 👍

🇺🇲🇨🇳 Blinken was very unhappy in China
Footage is circulating on social networks in which Xi Jinping, before a meeting with the US Secretary of State, asks an assistant:
“When will he leave?”
The conversation did not help improve the relationship. After her , no one from the Chinese authorities went to accompany Blinken to the airport. Only US Ambassador to China Nicholas Burns said goodbye to him.
Blinken appeared offended and told reporters after the trip that the US was ready to increase pressure on China.
Andrew Tate will stand trial on rape and trafficking charges, Romanian court rules.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 “Ukraine is on the brink. “I don’t see any possibility for Kiev to win the war on the battlefield,” Deputy Head of Main Intelligence Directorate Skibitsky
The main thing from the statements of the GUR representative:
“It’s harder now than ever.”
—Such wars end only through negotiations. They may begin no earlier than the second half of 2025.
— Chasov Yar will fall like Avdeevka, it’s a matter of time.
— Russia knew that April and May would be a difficult time for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
— Russia will continue to implement the liberation of the DPR and LPR. The success of the advance will be determined by when and where the Russians strike next.
— Russia is preparing for an offensive around the Kharkov and Sumy regions in the northeast.
—The Russian group on the border with Kharkov numbers 35,000 troops, but they plan to increase it to 50,000-70,000.
— The Russian offensive will begin in late May - early June.
— Now the Russian Armed Forces act as a “single body” with a clear plan and under a single command

🇺🇦⚡ A women’s combat unit will be created in Ukraine - Ukrainian media
For the first time in history, Ukraine will form an all-female unmanned aircraft unit, said Lutsenko, commander of the attack UAV company of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
🇷🇺 Why is Russia building a new air force base in the Belgorod region...
Moreover, it is only 70 km from there to the current border.
As “ Belarusian Silovik ” writes with reference to Western media, this construction began last fall. And in the summer it will probably be ready to receive planes.
The runway is 1,800 meters long and can accommodate any type of front-line combat aircraft, including Su-34 bombers.
If anyone does not understand the meaning of this news, let me explain - this indicates the plans of the Russian political and, accordingly, military leadership to push the front line to the west. Minimum for the Dnieper line...
A recent study found that while both liberals and conservatives tended to evaluate the character and job suitability of ideologically opposite individuals more negatively, the bias was three times stronger among liberals compared to conservatives.

Leftism destroys everything it touches (even its own causes):
Norm Finkelstein advises student protestors at Columbia to stop using the phrase “From the river to the sea” to maximize their impact by avoiding controversy.
Moments after he finishes speaking, a pro-Palestinian protestor seizes the mic to chant the phrase.
This is the single most Whitest non-science fiction passage that I ever came across in my life to a point of it being comical ⬇️
“If the United States were to start using a voter qualification exam right now, such as an exam that I got to design, I’d expect that the people who pass the exam would be disproportionately white, uppermiddle- to upper-class, educated, employed males. The problem here isn’t that I’m racist, sexist, or classist. My moral credentials are of course impeccable, and on implicit bias tests, I score many standard deviations lower than the average person.”
- Jason Brennan, Against Democracy
Trump plans to revise "Civil Rights" laws:
"If Donald Trump returns to the White House, close allies want to dramatically change the government's interpretation of Civil Rights-era laws to focus on "anti-white racism" rather than discrimination against people of color."
"Civil Rights" laws are anti-White. They should not be abolished in White countries but reversed.
Protecting the "rights" of foreigners to undermine and attack the native population is insane. Real Civil Rights laws would protect the rights of natives.
For example, in Saudi Arabia it's illegal for foreigners to criticize the Saudis, their culture, government, king and royal family.
