It is strategic necessity for China for energy security and for their own environment. Their predominant source of electricity has been coal which they have abundant of but is polluting the air they breathe. Does anyone recall the issues they had at Beijing Olympics? They have insufficient sources of oil and gas domestically. Alternative energy sources are their best domestic source of energy.

So let me give you an update. It’s not been the Rohingyas they’ve been murdering. They’ve been murdering everybody else in the last 4 years. The state Rohingyas live in have fallen into the hands of Arakan Army who are comprised primarily of the natives of the state, called Arakans. Ironically, Junta has been attempting to revive Rohingya guerillas, arming Rohingya militants and fighting along side them against Arakan Army in Arakan State.

“The ban was brief, as the vice president’s account was reinstated just minutes later,” the report says. “It does not appear that the vice president’s post ran afoul of any of Bluesky’s community guidelines.”

For most things. I’m sure there’ll be carve-outs for his bribers. We’ll have to wait for details.

This is still too high IMO. What are the carve-outs? EVs? iphones? laptops?

What do you mean TACO aren’t they striking Ukraine daily? TACO are you announcing that Russia and Ukraine are at war?

According to world directory of modern aircraft, this comprises 33% of Russian bomber fleet of 120: https://www.wdmma.org/russian-air-force.php. Not the entire fleet, but a significant loss for Russia.

You can’t generalize the entire race like that though. That’s why they banned you. There are Jews and Israelis who dissent from what the current Israeli government is doing.

Nor is it possible to ignore what has been happening in some Israeli military units, including special forces, where the best and most daring soldiers serve. There have been too many incidents of cruel shooting at civilians, of destruction of property and homes, even when this should not happen. There is too much looting and theft from homes, about which in many cases Israeli soldiers have boasted. Some have gone as far as posting about their antics online. Israelis are committing war crimes.

First, starving out Gaza. On this issue, the position of senior government figures is public and clear. Yes, we’ve been denying Gazans food, medicine and basic living needs as part of an explicit policy. Netanyahu, typically, is trying to blur the type of orders he’s been giving, in order to evade legal and criminal responsibility in due course. But some of his lackeys are saying so outright, in public, even with pride: Yes, we will starve out Gaza. Because all Gazans are Hamas, there’s no moral or operational limitation on exterminating them all, over two million people.

Congress has surrendered its powers to Trump. Democrats in congress are sleeping on the job.

Governments of Israel supported Hamas to counter PLO’s influence in order to undermine Palestinians’ statehood goals. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/10/world/middleeast/israel-qatar-money-prop-up-hamas.html

According to a web source, retail price of a kilo of chicken is US$ 2.06 to $3.84 per kilo in Myanmar. https://www.selinawamucii.com/insights/prices/myanmar/chicken-meat/

Adidas workers are earning $US1.20 PER DAY. That means working the whole day at Adidas will not buy a single meal for these workers.

Isn’t it funny there’s no mention of drugs from Chinese companies.

Art of the deal: make concessions before negotiations.

And they’ve had several hot wars since indepedence. Modhi is a Hindu nationalist leader so he’s going to stroke nationalistic themes when ever opportunities arise.

This is stupid.

Better title would be “Asian countries dumping US dollar.”

This is going to fuck up the oceans. If US violates international agreements to do this, China is going to follow on a much bigger scale and destroy seabeds everywhere. Look at what they’ve done with fishing. If we think environmental damage is bad, we ain’t see nothing yet.
