I once saw a survey done in Seattle asking people whether they would prefer to eat feces raw or deep-fried. Based on the result of that survey, I have concluded that people in Seattle like deep-fried feces and are actively choosing to eat it.
*cheapest and the best
Bong Joon-ho said it best. We live in one country called capitalism.
Essentially the goal is this: to use a giant electromagnetic launch track to accelerate a hypersonic aircraft to Mach 1.6. The aircraft would then separate from the track, ignite its engine and enter near space at seven times the speed of sound.
Does no one read the article anymore before commenting? I’m not responding to all the comments here since it’s clearly a waste of my time, but every single one of the concerns that people mention in this thread so far has been acknowledged in the article already.
Market analysts said that there is no relief as of yet from this difficult period. They urged the government to play a role as a mediator, so companies can map out more specific investment plans by clearing away any lingering uncertainties.
“The government is advised to stand at the forefront in discussing subsidy-related issues with its U.S. counterparts, so local chipmakers and battery firms’ uncertainties can be alleviated,
Give more money please lol. These global companies just keep a train of endless grift going.
We’re not paying Dalai Lama to stay quiet. Have him say “to the last Ukrainian” immediately!
There goes Gaza…
For the last couple of years, a few North Korean vloggers – Song-Ah, YuMi, and Un-A – launched their YouTube channels. These three vloggers gave a glimpse of their everyday lives, from what they eat to their hobbies to their travels. They also have videos that showcase the infrastructures in North Korea, such as the Hwaseong Apartment Complex, Pyongyang Metro, and Kim Il Sung Square.
In June 2023, however, YouTube announced that it had banned these YouTube channels “to comply with US sanctions and trade compliance laws, including those related to North Korea.” The videos disappeared for a while but many of these have been reuploaded by other YouTube users.
It doesn’t feel fair to label North Korea “secretive” when the rest of the world bans them from even using Youtube and even hides their videos.
Makes sense. It’s communism when tanks don’t run over people, so the inverse must be true as well.
We also saw something that really stood out, which is that the PRC believed the United States was in terminal decline — that our industrial base had been hollowed out, that our commitment to our allies and partners had been undercut, that the United States was struggling to manage a once-in-a-century pandemic, and that many in Beijing were openly proclaiming that “the East was rising and the West was falling.”
Sullivan can’t get away with this. He can’t just say a banger line like this and continue on without addressing it.
They’re not even going to stop buying Russian gas & oil lol.
Historical sticklers could also note that Latvia had a brief past as a colonial power. The Duchy of Courland, an antecedent to Latvia, held territory on the island of Tobago in the Caribbean and on the Gambia River in West Africa in the mid-1600s.
lol
Europe is complicit in this. Frontex is a European effort, not just Italian.
The problem of that approach is that winter is coming soon and battles will soon ground to a halt. Which will give Russians the time to build up their defensive layers again.
Spring offensive of 2024 will commence afterwards. And then the spring offensive of 2025, 2026, 2027…
In May, a court rejected Lai’s bid to halt his security trial on grounds that it was being heard by judges picked by Hong Kong’s leader. That is a departure from the common law tradition China promised to preserve for 50 years after the former British colony returned to China in 1997.
Don’t tell me that British laws are actually that corrupt. No way, right?
Spineless Australia can’t protect their own citizens from the US but they still delude themselves into thinking that they’re partners with America, not a lapdog.
They do it for free! They don’t even get paid to spout US State Department propaganda lmao.
At least we get Xi-bucks.
If this is the best example you can come up with, it is fairly unconvincing that any mainstream political will be restricted.
