Russia plans to import 12,000 North Koreans to work in its massive Shahed drone plant, HUR says Russia has actively recruited, hoodwinked and kidnapped workers for its war machine from across the developing world.

Russia is β€œimporting” 12,000 North Koreans to work in its drone plant.

NK, with its desperate poverty & cruel tyranny, is the perfect supplier of what’s been called β€œslave-like” hard labor.

In return, Russia teaches NK to build weapons.

Deals between devils.

It’s #WorldPrematurityDay

Every year, 15 million babies are born too soon.
Too small. Too early. And far too vulnerable to life-threatening complications.

Chevron plans to grow oil and gas production by 2% to 3% per year through 2030. It currently produces around 4 million barrels of oil equivalent per day.
"There is need for significant investment to close the oil supply gap, equivalent to five Saudi Arabias" over the next decade, Wirth said.

When Big Oil companies claim to be partners in climate solutions, remember: they are lying.

As the climate crisis intensifies, Chevron is once again "increasing investments in oil and gas exploration," Reuters reports.
