The Financial Consequences from Russia-Ukraine War
Russia’s oil reserves are worth 1.2 trillion dollars and they represent 72% country’s gross domestic product (the cost per production of barrel is $15.5/barrel). Russia has been exporting around 7 million barrels of oil and refined products, representing 7% of the global supply, and to the European Union, Russia provides 40% of natural gas.
Since the sanctions imposed by the United States, brent oil rose $139.13/barrel, West Texas Intermediate crude rose $130.50/barrel. Analysts from JP Morgan stated the oil cost per barrel could rise up to $185 this week. While analysts at Bank of America are saying that the cost per barrel could go up to $200. How long do you think the people will cheer the government for sanctioning Russia when they realize that they will be paying $5/gallon?
And it gets even better. On January 3rd, 2020, the U.S. government assassinated the Iranian hero, Major General Qasem Soleimani as he was crossing the Syrian border. Rumors were that Soleimani was on a mission to broker peace between Iran and Saudi Arabia. Israel had the United States government interfere by killing the general causing a national outrage in Iran. And since the U.S. is banning Russian gas, the government find itself negotiating the nuclear deal, once more with Iran.

DeSantis, Hero for the Oppressed Republican Underdogs, and Future President of the United States
This year, I registered to vote as a #Republican, and if Governor Ron #DeSantis runs for the next president in 2024, I will vote for him. Last year, in November, I voted for President #Biden because I saw January 6th coming. A racial #riot was inevitable. Which is why I don’t understand why #Democrats were so shocked. Let me tell you something, #Trump didn’t divide America. Deeply in your core, you are #racist and very intolerant.
Biden’s #mandate is not only foolish, #inconsiderate but also #dictatorial. Biden does not care about the average #bluecollar Joe; President Biden does not care about the hardworking #black and brown people, because if he did, his focus should have been in uplifting the #middleclass from the #financialhardship and #insecurity that we are all facing, but instead, he is imposing #unrealistic mandates and threatening to take our jobs if we do not do what he mandates. That does not make you a #progressive president. That makes of you a #bully and a #dystopian despot.
Obviously, you are very oblivious of those who are still incapable of finding a job; those who have still not receive either their #unemployment check or the #childtaxcredit you promised; those who are living in their car with their children because they couldn’t pay their rent due to the loss of their #employment. Therefore, how could you #threaten those same people in a fragile situation to take their jobs from them?
Governor DeSantis, if you wish to become the #hero of the people, make sure that all the #Floridians in your state are able to have access to #financialsecurity; make sure that all your #Floridian in prison have access to a decent meal, #education and #mentalhealth counseling; and make sure that battered victims can find the resources they need to escape their abusers. Do this, and you will become the Hero of the People.

Capital Coach Line Bus kidnapping by 400 Mawozo
Yesterday morning, around 9:00 am, a charter bus belonging to Capital Coach Line, traveling to the #DominicanRepublic was halted on its way, hijacked, and Kidnapped along with all of its passengers by the terrorist group. As the bus was riding in Muchot going towards #Malpasse, #400Mawozo stopped the vehicle on its trajectory and directed it towards Belontan. Since then, there has been neither news about the bus or the passengers.
Besides this horrid event, Wednesday early in the morning, around 6:00 am, on Mucho, a group of female victims, wifes, mothers with their children, young women on their way to work or to school, waiting for their tap tap or the local buses in #CroixdesBouquets, were also kidnapped by a group of armed bandits from 400 Mawozo. The poor women were dragged into a nearby car-wash and they have been successively and repeatedly sexually battered by their captors. One of them was a married woman who woke up early to get to work. She found herself captured, dragged against her will and gangraped by 9 individuals.
