The Chief Executive of the Company Mondelez who now own the Cadbury’s brand and have factories in Russia has defended their decision to stay in Russia despite the Ukraine invasion by the Russian’s in 2022.

His reasoning is that although they pay taxes to Russia which could be being used to fund the Ukranian War, the reality is that they have also kept employing a lot of Russians , who let’s face it need jobs and careers and also that if they had left their factories and all the equipment, it would have been taken over by the Russian’s at great cost to Mondelez and it is estimated that the Russian’s would have made more money from their own production of chocolate then even Mondelez.

So it has been a compromise, unlike Mc Donalds who exited straight away, the makers of the Cadbury Brand has continued in the hope that the conflict will be resolved and that the Eastern European sweet tooth can continue to be satisfied.

The targeting of Russian Oil Refineries has had the knock on effect of causing fuel shortages in Russia and in President Putin announcing that Russia’s air defence systems were not robust enough.

The truth is becoming to come out, perhaps the Russian’s never saw air defence as a priority, it is such a big Country. There is also a problem with repairing and replacing spare parts should a key are of the refinery be damaged by a Ukranian Drone.

Sad to say , it all comes down to oil supplies again, with Russia now saying it will stop exporting oil and aviation fuel. So all of it’s output will be for the domestic market. Perhaps prices are coming down again since the Strait of Hormuz looks as if it will be open for traffic again.

Perhaps this is yesterday’s news or perhaps it isn’t. It’s really hard to tell. The one thing I know is we must have “Peace”.

What happened in the Middle East apparently is one of the greatest strategic blunders in US History.

I beg to differ, the whole thing was a crime against Humanity and perhaps we are fortunate today that we see these people for who they are and that their motives were despicable and so many innocent people have been harmed by their actions.

Thanks to Egypt today for the Headline

How culturally different the approach to being in the News is in Egypt. The citizen who spotted and successfully rescued six endangered loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) in the local Obour Market in Cairo Governate remains nameless.

However he bought all six turtles from the market stall holder and contacted the Ministry of the Environment and they intervened to ensure their safe rescue.

The Ministry’s Sea Turtle Rescue Center praised the citizen for his actions, I in turn praise the citizen for his modesty and initiative. The sea turtles play a vital role in maintaining the balance of marine ecosystems.
