This has very little to do with the colonial borders drawn by the British and French almost 100 years ago. Rather it’s animosity due to more recent events. In this case, Israel’s betray of the Iranian people right before the revolution of 1979.

Russia’s new strategy is to take it slow. Hence why they just created two new army for defense in Ukraine. They aren’t looking to risk trying to finish this quickly.

Likely not. Everyone who wanted to leave Russia did so in the 1990’s

Pakistan is propped up by the US and China. They will collapse if they lose that support.

About 30-40% of food is wasted in the US, in India its 22%, in China 27%. These are the largest nations in the world. The reality is that we can build more efficient infrastructures that can drastically cut down on this. But we don’t need to yet, because it’s not cost efficient. That’s how much ‘free’ resources we have produced based on current technologies.

Only bad for nations that are shrinking too fast, like some nordic nations and South Korea. But most other nations will benefit from the less population growth rate.

sonally, I like 6B as a good place to plateau. We’re probably already beyond the planet’s carrying capacity so nee

With the current food growing technologies, we can handle 10 billion comfortable well. We will obviously not reach that number anytime soon. But we are on track to shrinking rapidly in many nations. That will destroy these nations.

Being accused isn’t the same as being found guilty. Especially in the case of real estate, there is always a possibility that what he did to skirt to law and obtain that wealth may not actually be illegal.

That being said I don’t know enough on the laws or what he did, but it’s probably likely why China hasn’t killed him yet. They likely are doing a more drawn out investigation to find out if it’s their own poorly written policies that enable men like this to obtain that wealth and what to do to correct it in the eyes of common Chinese citizens.

Just like North America, when the British sent their religious fanatics to colonize their new colonies.

We don’t have a partner for peace? Well then get to work creating partners for peace.

The US has been trying for years with the Saudi’s, Egyptians, etc… to support and encourage a peace treaty between the Palestinians and Israeli. And when the Saudi’s shifted, the Palestinians immediately went to Iran for support. Many other middle eastern countries nearby either hates the US, like Syria, or unable due to a crisis themselves, like Lebanon. So this policy isn’t possible.

First, I challenge the assumption that I have to provide a credible peace plan in order to demand an end to violence.

The reason for this war is because neither Hamas or Israeli wants to back down, and unfortunately thousands of Palestinians are caught in the cross-fire. At this point in the conflict, it doesn’t seem either Hamas or Israeli cares what happens to the civilians of Gaza, they just want to win this war. So unless you offer them a viable solution to peacefully end this conflict, they will not accept a cease fire.

We’re just a paper tiger anymore with a leftover military from a bygone era.

Not entirely true. America is still the most powerful nation-state globally. Although I do think that the era of aircraft carrier fleets is probably obsolete just like the era of battleships was made obsolete right before WW2.

Thank you, i will edit my comment.

Millions of people are at risk of dying of deliberate starvation. Millions are being pushed off their land. The region is being destabilized, Jews and Muslims worldwide are facing increasing antisemitism due to a complex set of reasons, Israelis are facing a rapid erosion in civil liberties… and we need to say NO. We need to interrupt all of these.

Indeed. I agree globally the world need to find a way to end this impending genocide of the Palestinian people.

We need to demand peace, we need to force from power leaders who pursue agendas designed to escalate conflicts because its in their interests, we need to halt the logistics operations that allow for people to be caged and starved and blown up and tortured…

The problem is for us to demand peace, we need to have a solution that most people would agree with, including the majority of Israel and Palestinians. What would that solution be at this point in the conflict?

Coder isn’t a professional title. Software engineer and engineer are very broad of a term, because they can cover alot of work that’s not directly coding software. Not all programmers write software code, some just ‘program’ software that’s already written.

So i think developer is the best term for someone that ‘develops’ and write software code for a living. Or even software developer, those terms are interchangable.

Bernie is the only US politician that actually fights for the common man. And the only reason I think he’s still a politician is because he’s got the support of enough people behind him that America’s oligarchy can’t stop him from at least holding some official positions of power and decision making. But I don’t ever see him being president of this nation, and at his age, it’s likely too late now.

This is a perfect use for AI to automate systems. The job of maintaining a train isn’t dynamic, it’s very predictable, AI shouldn’t haven’t a problem doing this task well.

It’s as likely that I’m overestimating the support for this plan as it is that you’re underestimating it

Indeed. It’s hard to make a clear assumption on how Israel’s geopolitical agenda plays out, and your assumption maybe more correct than mine.

To my horror, the Israeli center and even left are far more amenable to the full ethnic cleansing of Israel-Palestine than any time in my lifetime.

The origin of the Palestinian - Israel conflict is of statehood and governmental control, not ethnicities. Arabs who have never called themselves Palestinians but have lived in the state of Israel since it’s founding have as much claim to the region as Palestinians themselves and are of the same ethnicity. In other words even if Israel remove all Palestinians from the regions they want, it will never be considered ethnic cleansing by the rest of the world, because Palestinians isn’t an ethnical identity, it’s a political identity.

I’ve only point out what the IDF had said was their plan. Some Orthodox zionist have been calling for all the territory of West bank and Gaza to be theirs, but they are a tiny minority.

You can have biz systems compatible with Western and allied economies

Did you remember the controversy over ASME ASML from the Netherlands not wanting to give in to US pressure to stop selling China their machines? Or Germany not wanting to support allied efforts to sanction Russia, because it would be a massive loss to their economy?

China and its vassal states, russia & NK.

Lots of african nations will disagree with you, they’re quite happy to lend their support to Africa and Russia, as they benefit from both.

It’s not a rumor, that was their official announced plan, or rather small parts of north gaza. The conspiracy is that they want all of Gaza which they didn’t say, but is pushed by pro-hamas supporters.
