Russia is toast no matter the outcome of the Ukraine invasion
It is absolutely the case that women prioritise money. They actually select men based on whether their lifestyle is "exciting", in other words, can he go to fancy resorts, restaurants, can he buy me LV bags, etc etc, they prioritise this over loyalty, kindness and intelligence, research has found. Those last three are "nice to haves", but women want the man with the successful and exciting lifestyle, ie the money. That's why billionaire novels sell so well for women and why 50 Shades of Grey" has a billionaire protagonist, like so many chicklit novels. Women select based on money, they want the resources. Nowhere is this more apparent than in Thailand, where women abandon their own kind, their own people, and seek out foreigners from another land, whose language they don't speak, just for the money. Not always of course, if a surfer dude is dead attractive, he'll do for the night. But for long term, the dude better have a good lifestyle. ie money. -

Report Intense Competition as Vietnamese Workers Pursue Lucrative South Korean Jobs
File photo for reference only Nearly 23,000 Vietnamese workers are vying for only 3,300 jobs in South Korea's agricultural and manufacturing sectors, where wages can be quadruple those in Vietnam. On May 5, approximately 7,900 candidates from northern Vietnam sat for the Korean proficiency exam at Hanoi's Sona School of Labor Export Training. Additional testing will see 11,700 from central Vietnam taking exams in Da Nang from May 8 to June 11, and 3,200 from the south in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) during May and June. Among the hopefuls is Tran Thi Hang from Bac Giang Province, who traveled to Hanoi by motorbike, arriving two hours early for her exam. With a current income of approximately VND12 million (US$460) per month as a manual laborer, Hang aims to significantly increase her earnings in South Korea. "Once you pass the exam, you have one foot in the door," she remarked. Her husband, who passed the exam last year, is awaiting selection, and the couple prefers agricultural roles to facilitate traveling together. The Korean proficiency exam employs strict anti-cheating protocols, including biometric scanning. Cheating results in disqualification and a four-year ban from retaking the exam, underscoring the high stakes involved. According to Dang Huy Hong, director of the Center of Overseas Labor, over 21,400 applicants are competing for 3,000 manufacturing positions, while 1,400 are contending for 300 agricultural roles. Vietnam aims to send approximately 8,000 workers to South Korea this year through the Employment Permit System (EPS), which has facilitated South Korean companies in recruiting qualified foreign workers since 2004. Candidates are advised to maintain their current employment in Vietnam, as job offers are not guaranteed immediately after passing the proficiency exam. As of October 2024, over 650,000 Vietnamese guest workers were employed in more than 40 countries, contributing around $4 billion annually in remittances. With potential earnings up to $2,000 a month, South Korea is an attractive destination for Vietnamese workers, followed closely by Japan, offering about $1,500.

Russia is toast no matter the outcome of the Ukraine invasion
How is it in Russia's best interest to kill off the men in one of its vassal states? What do they have then? A bunch of dependent females? There's no doubt that the Soviet Union was an "empire." Not unlike the US empire. That's the way it was and that's the way it continues to this day. Not unlike 30 year ago, when even then, they couldn't hold things together. What has changed? And yes, the war against Ukraine may weaken what remains of the Russian empire. What's your point? -

Suppressing people who are gay does not change their sexuality, so I'm not sure how you figure that it increases the number of heterosexuals.
