After the ceasefire news, the oil market crashed📉🛢️, just because of the news in the media. In reality, not a single tanker passed trough the strait when the market started to crash, as of now 2 tankers left the strait today, which is the lowest number of passing ships in a day in April btw. Now, that Iran🇮🇷 basically said fuck your ceasefire, the market is still down and didn't even react (AFAIK its open) to the fact that the Iranian forces keep the strait closed. I wonder if the orange man say something to the media will change this *SOMEHOW*. Because this is nonsense, oil tankers are still stuck, and the last tankers which left the strait before the escalation are about to dock, which means we will feel the real price of the closure of the Hormuz strait in the coming days.

🇷🇺Russians are promised 17.5 million in the first year of contract service ($220,000). The sum includes 'coffin money' payments, Russian military correspondents have calculated.

They're advertising death benefits. As a selling point. Let that sink in.

To give you some contrast to the 220k dollars, the median monthly income in Russia is ₽40,000 (~$412/month), meaning half of Russians earn less than that.

At median income, that payout is 35 years of wages.
