Holy crap… the disregard.

That’s a much better word. Ty.

Authoritarian creep is a danger to all western democracies.

Exactly… A danger to people in general. Never came across people who lived under a dictatorship who felt free, happy or without having lost friends & family to the regime.

Sometimes there are apologists though, but that’s a imo a trauma induced coping strategy or they were collaborating (often under some life or death threat).

Yaah I’ve seen his vids. Former military analyst something from Denmark or there abouts?

Kidnapped

Is usually is a term used when asking for a “ransom” they ask money or something, and usually people are taken for a (limited) period of time.

I’s more like human trafficking, but still it’s not the right term . In a way its a combination of kidnapping, human trafficking and sort of genocidal thing. Or all the above? #Ed quoting layout

to surrender half his country

And Zelensky would probably consider this for peace in a alternate universe, if it wasn’t for the 1000% untrustworthy Putin who always breaks treaties and promises.

Also RF “stole” (I don’t know what’s even the proper name) a minimum of 20K children, and and are momentarily brainwashing them. Some are being trained to fight against Ukraine.

That’s probably a pill many find ( too) hard to swallow.

And to be very CLEAR, about the deliberate treason by the Trumptraitor:

• As discussions began in Geneva, Donald Trump said Ukraine had shown “zero gratitude” for US efforts to end the conflict

• Speculation based on the use of language in the plan suggests it may have been written in Russian and later translated into English.

• " A group of US senators said Rubio told them the text was not an American one. It was, they said, a Russian document deliberately leaked by Moscow which the US then passed on to Ukraine.

"These measures have become almost standard,” said Jan Brouwer, law professor at the University of Groningen. “For longer periods, anyone walking in these areas can be searched, even someone taking their dog for a walk.”

Imagine going for a regular stroll and suddenly you need to show your ID and are frisked (sometimes followed). It’s not a nice experience, and you can write off your relaxing walk.

Well, for some (secure) areas it does make more sense, like with airports & drone incidents etc.

Almost as if the UK’s “right” is following Orban’s script to take over the media and poltics in the country. I mean considering the BBC’s takeover and board drama story too.

Hi fyi this link was already posted earlier in worldnews

“constructive meetings with Chinese authorities"

I hope they really were constructive.

Also the Dutch got a lot of heat from basically everywhere ( Europe), the Chinese maybe too, because of the chipshortages. So there was pressure coming from everywhere.

I misread. They did end up letting them in.

Why should Palestinians need exit stamps from Israel?

… And why didn’t S.A. help and or welcomed them? Even though their flight or voyage was mysterieus or via a shady organisation. I thought S.A was sympathetic to Palestine.

If it was wrong for the West to do it, it is wrong for China to do it as well. It’s just so sad to see all the apologists China has right

Very well said. People can be shitty and sometimes do very horrible things.

And according to the comments up-and downvotes( 54 to 10) , that’s almost 20% are still apologists. Thats 20% too many.

I think they first should want to start at all, it’s an ratrace unless the EU can agree. And then follows how, and how much and who.

Does anyone have a sound report of the cost/benefit if the EU decouples, including projection of competitiveness in these times? I mean like what can be done and what should be done economically. For it must go in sync with the rollout of the planned Dragha reformsfor it to be feasable at least, I reckon.

Will do so. Thx for the ping.

US OF world…/s

I am positively surprised that there is a plan at all; and that subsequently, some countries have forwarded a pollution reduction plan. Though it’s clear that some countries are producing and polluting more than others, either by GDP and or per capita, it’s also true that some very poor countries ( ex. Bangladesh, Sahel region, Iran) are suffering way more than others.

Even though climate change is undeniable, some factors like responsible land, forest, water, agricultural use ( resources), but also building quality, can contribute to or alleviate disasters.

It is a complex and codependent world we humans have created, within an apperantly more and more fragile ecosystem. Who will pay, whom will receive, and how much, should be based on some clear measurable variables, but mostly it will probably all depend on political will and moral responsibility.

For context according to this link they need 39 B USD, and this “dim-sum” bond is part of the Indonesian diversification strategy.

"According to the budget plan, the Government aims to raise 642.6 trillion rupiah (39 billion USD) this year to cover the deficit. This year, Indonesia has issued many other types of foreign currency bonds such as: Dual currency bonds (USD and Euro) in January and October, raising a total of more than 3 billion USD; Islamic bonds (sukuk) in July; Japanese Yen samurai bonds in June (worth 103.2 billion Yen); Australian dollar (AUD) kangaroo bonds in August (worth 800 million AUD).,
