Yeah shocking isn’t it. China has taken over in US backyard.

Watch Trump strike down this fee on his first day with an executive order. Why did Biden take so long to implement these? He had the mandate in 2022.

Interesting. Cops are corrupt in Mexico that’s why they’re using troops. Can they make troops cops too?

Which ones have successfully eradicated the drug trafficking culture in their countries? Mexico and Columbia have always been the traditional ones. Not sure how big drug industry is elsewhere.

I haven’t suggested otherwise. I’m merely giving you more nuanced and complex understanding of the situation. “Genocide” by definition isn’t just against Rohingya. It is happening against many ethnicities who have been fighting the military for decades in Myanmar. Again, for some reason, the Western media focuses only on Rohingya. It is not your fault you are inadequately informed. However you want to insist on this one-dimensional view of Myanmar, it is only a small slice of reality.

HRW decided to use a single instance of Rohingya victims getting killed in the civil war to say the genocide is continuing. Why haven’t they done the same for the Karens, the Shans, the Karennis, Chins, Kachins, etc? The report of civilians getting killed in Myanmar during this war is nothing new. I invite you to visit https://lemmy.ca/c/myanmar. I ask you then why is it they only focus on Rohingya? It is because they the HRW are lazy. They have a singular narrative that sells in the West and earns them donations. (The same goes for the press). They aren’t out there on the ground monitoring and reporting on the rest of the country. They don’t even need to be on the ground. Read the news and speak with all the different factions to grasp the situation.

You are specifically referring to the Rohingya genocide where over 100 Rohingyas were killed. At the time of the Rohingya massacre the government was not a junta; it was under civilian NLD party led by Suu Kyi who won the parliament despite the constitution that was designed to give military power. The junta happened in 2021 when the military lost the election again that they designed to win. So they staged the coup.

Kamala wasn’t the better candidate. Biden would’ve done better. They forced the old man out in the middle of a campaign. Kamala never fared well on her own. Stupid Dems thought because Biden lost the debate he’d lose the election. Well Trump lost the freakin debate, but did it matter?! NO! THAT’S why they need to be gone. They got lucky with Biden. They ain’t getting lucky again.

Pricing in all the jjuicy tax breaks and stock buy backs from all that extra cash.

They need to fire the leaders of Democratic party. Find new blood and new direction. Swing to the right didn’t help them.

My guess is it must be at capacity and there’s no space to build a parallel lane next to the tracks. This is conveyor belt so it is constantly moving in both directions with pellets being dropped back and forth. Of course rail industry has been trying to get to the “conveyor belt” idea for sometime but to have one that’s constantly moving both directions isn’t executable.

Well then, do enlighten me? Who’s going to step up providing aid to Ukraine once US stops?

Without Biden Ukraine is gone. Europe doesn’t have a single backbone to stand up to Russia. If they become Russia’s beeswax, it’s on them.

This is the most damning rebuke of Democrats and their leaders. Trump’s tactics worked.

This article comes on the heels of another that says Japanese births continue to decline this year: https://www.bangkokpost.com/world/2896432/births-in-japan-fall-another-6-in-first-half

Just because some 500 years ago Portuguese who’s never been there before called the area “South China Sea” Chinese thinks they own it.

I am a bit puzzled at European response to the Ukraine invasion. The initial support was slow (obviously due to economic ties to Russia). It took sometime to galvanize some meat into the assistance being provided to Ukraine. Still not seeing leadership being taken on this issue by any of the bigger NATO nations (i.e. Germany, France). Part of this I suspect is that they are playing it smart by letting US take the leadership AND fund the Ukrainian defense thus costing them little. Part of it is perhaps the belief that Russia won’t touch non-former USSR countries. But what European countries should realize is, the current world order depends on respecting the borders. If one country is allowed to take territories from another by hot conflict, we’re going to see more of this elsewhere in the world, including in Europe! Threat of war, and wars are the enemy of trade, investment, and economic growth. It will impact Europe directly or indirectly.

It’s more like he doesn’t need it anymore since he’s got that new billion dollar palace now.

lol is this what passes for “scandal” in Japan? They are so fortunate.

NSFL. This is particularly gruesome:

The official confirmation came after photos circulated on messaging app WhatsApp depicting a severed head on top of a pick-up truck, appearing to be that of Arcos. Reuters could not independently verify the photos’ authenticity.
