🇷🇺⚡Vladimir Putin signed a decree according to which the number of full-time servicemen of the Russian Armed Forces will be increased by 137,000 to 1,150,628 people.
There is no doubt that this increase in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is directly related to the entry into Russia of the liberated territories.

🇷🇺 Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree on Thursday to increase the size of Russia's armed forces from 1.9 million to 2.04 million as the war in Ukraine enters its seventh month.
The increase includes a 137,000 boost in the number of combat personnel to 1.15 million. It comes into effect on Jan 1, according to the decree published on the government's legislative portal.
The last time Putin fixed the size of the Russian army was in November 2017, when the number of combat personnel was set at 1.01 million from a total armed forces headcount, including non-combatants, of 1.9 million
According to an authoritative annual report by the International Institute for Strategic Studies, Russia had 900,000 active service personnel at the start of this year, and reserves of 2 million people with service within the past five years.

🇫🇷 🇪🇺 Anonymous: It's because of the EU. We don't rely on Russian gas, we are almost totally nuclear in France. But, because of the EU we can't use our nuclear power plants. As it would be an "unfair advantage" and "contrary to European free competition in the trade union". So we are forced to pay our nuclear energy the same price as Germans pay for Russian gas to "keep a healthy balance in the EU".

🇺🇸 The transformer shortage is the outcome of the "green" transition towards constructing EV charging stations en masse. They're trying to rush EVs even before the domestic refurbishment for transformer production to solve current energy needs is solved.
This comes at a time when the US is in an unfinished process of reshoring manufacturing facilities back to North America in general. Sizable figures of skilled labor are also heading into retirement due to demographic aging. These are the two most common hiccups in the American supply chain today.
Keep in mind that another common supply issue during the pandemic occurred because of the rapidly changing requirements for vaccination. Whether dock workers and Men in shipping refused the jab and retired or became victims of circumstance by impossible to adapt to vaccine requirements on a country by country basis. The end result is that global shipping is increasingly breaking down and being replaced by deglobalized supply chains.

🇰🇷📃 — Take in consideration that most of South Korean/ROK demographic growth currently is purely on the shoulders of its Religious practitioner population, i.e. Christians (both Protestants and Roman Catholics) and Buddhists
It would not be foolish to imagine that in a few years South Korea will in fact be a formally Christian/Buddhist majority country.

🇯🇵⛩📃 — Same Logic applies for Japan, although, in the case of Japan, the idea of a "Cultural Shinto" rather than something like a "Practicing Shinto", similar to the shift between the so-called "Cultural Christians" and "Faithful Christians" in the "West", is quite pervasive in the Japanese society.
Also, Demographic breakdowns always tend to cause radical changes, socially speaking.
Take, for example, the demographic decline that occurred at the end of the Edo Period (which some might argue was one of the reasons that it collapsed, but it's a topic for another time) and period of internal instability at the beginning of Imperial Japan (Meiji Era)
As de-globalization is pushed around the world, it is expected that trends seen by our much-loved "progressive friends" as 'reactionary' will become the norm and eventually birth rates and a return to social models taken today as "outdated" returns as a solution.
After all, history is a cycle forced to repeat itself, not a line that just moves forward.
