【ANBOUND GEOPOLITICAL REVIEW】 Does the Russian army still possess combat capability despite such heavy casualties? It certainly does. Russia’s "partial mobilization" has effectively mobilized 350,000 people. Adding other personnel, it is estimated that the Russian army has actually replenished about 500,000 people. Is it possible for Russia to conduct a full-scale war mobilization? This is indeed possible. Throughout history, hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops were captured by the Germans in the Battle of Kyiv alone. Even after several major battles where more than 4 million were killed or injured, the Soviet army maintained its combat effectiveness. Largely, it will be the end of the war. Neither Ukraine will agree to the negotiation, nor agree to it. As for Russia, when it enters the post-Putin era, it will become a community of mobs and a source of global crimes, assumed

>> The current geopolitical, economic, and trade relations between the U.S. and China have dual aspects. One is conventional trade, involving ordinary ongoing commodities and the scale will continue to increase. Another is science and technology, as well as certain important investment fields. China wants the U.S. market space, especially when the political relationship is tense, it is good to keep warmer economic and trade relations. The U.S. likes to meet the market demands with China's cheap manufacturing capacity in providing goods, and also to consider the profits that American companies earn in China. Its doors will not be closed easily, said

>>Anita Chandra, Vice President and Director at RAND Social and Economic Well-Being, noted that
their research sheds light on topics surrounding communities and health equity in the United States, both on the advancements and the issues that hold them back. Many of the sentinel communities prefer a broad-based economic equity frame, but often miss the context of racism and the upstream drivers of health inequity. More fundamental narrative shifts will be necessary before policies and practices tackling structural inequities can yield sustainable results. Changing mindsets is integral to improving health equity so our studies look for progress there. Centering communities more fully on health equity is gaining momentum.
【PRESENT VALUE】 All regions (Northeast, South, West, Midwest) in the U.S. have seen a sharp decline in total public transit trips during the pandemic.
Joyce Liu, senior analyst at Econsult Solutions, Inc. (ESI),
discussed that, for any public transit agency to meet the changing ridership demand and stay competitive, a good step forward is understanding the performance and establishing a way to measure future success. Then, a set of performance metrics can follow these goals and objectives.
Under the multiple blows of capital outflows, bottoming out of foreign reserves, soaring prices, natural disasters, and political chaos, it is difficult for Pakistan to rely on external assistance such as the IMF to overcome its current crisis. It is likely that Pakistan would be the first nuclear power to go bankrupt. If this happens, China could also suffer negative economic and geopolitical ramifications due to its close relationship with Pakistan., wrote
