There’s a good YouTube video titled something like “china’s economy is 60% smaller than they state”. It’s worth watching.

It might surprise you to learn that Canada is really big, not everyone lives in cities, and some places are inaccessible by transit.

I’m not sure where else, but Canada desperately needs more cost-effective electric options.

If nothing else, Zelensky knows he has to toe the American policy line. I don’t blame him, really. It’s self-protection.

Kid wanted to be tiktok famous.

Dunno…probably has something to do with their psychotic Russian neighbours lowering property values or something.

Yes, because I’ve seen your posts elsewhere and you are definitely intelligent enough to hold your own.

No objection to you being hot (not sure how to say that without being creepy, but oh well). My objection is only that they could reference the strike first rather than what you are wearing.

Geez, they couldn’t write an article about the strike and the issues rather than how “runway-ready” she looks in a t-shirt?

He is responsible for the deaths of children.

This is a greater overall danger than many of you seem to realize. Their leader was a face and figurehead, the real power of Wagner mercenaries lies with the lieutenants. Without him, they are likely to splinter and become more brutal. Some are likely to be hired by the anti-Putin oligarchs, while others may align with Putin. This may result in Russia having to pull out of Ukraine, but that’s not the end of this. Even if Putin is slammed out of power, that just results in an internal power struggle with deadly consequences. Those will not stay inside their borders.

As I said…

That’s on the Russians who are in Ukraine doing these things.

Are your friends in Ukraine doing these things? I said there are Russians doing these things, not Putin. Other innocent Russians of course should not be blamed for the actions of these people, but innocent Russians should stop blaming mean people on the internet and instead call out the citizens who are making Russians look bad through committing war crimes.

Overall, I agree with your points.

Unfortunately though, Putin himself isn’t raping Ukrainian women, blowing up kids, destroying crops, etc. That’s on the Russians who are in Ukraine doing these things. As they showed in Nuremberg, following orders is not an excuse.

Ecuador, I thought you were cool.

He may be right, but that doesn’t mean he’s not an asshole.

Well, she campaigned on being a fascist and made a number of racist claims. But after she was elected she toned it down and even said there was no room for classic fascism in Italy.

So, really, no one should like her.

A strong peso makes gentrification less likely as rich Americans and Canadians become less likely to retire in Mexico.

I think that only applies at the border and the coastline, but the rules may have changed.

I remember when the political right was wholly against electric cars because of the range. Then Elon showed he hates who they hate, and now they make excuses for the range while polishing his balls.

I fully expect that some of them will say the cure for inflation is austerity next.

They should fear more.
