What happened to how India was going to win the future because it had so many young people? It means nothing if they aren't skilled to make the money.

Why 70 hour workweek is inhumane? India can still compete without this 70 hour workweek. They just have to doubly increase the number of young people working to reach the same level of productivity and win the future as the MSM claimed.

Yes, but there are limits to this. Make Japan realize that its well-being relies on Chinese, not American power and they should come around. The transition shouldn't be difficult at all. Chinese and Japanese are very visually and culturally similar. I find it hard to believe that given the chance, they would not want to get up from under the foot of the country that dropped 2 bombs on them; only shaking this spectre can get Japan its self-respect back. But that said, it's from my own limited interactions and logic. If, for some reason, they just won't play ball, China can put pressure on them, turn them into the next Nort Korea, let them sit there and rot as they see other nations exalted before them at China's grace. BUT there is no maximum force simply for them exercising their free choice to not join China. After all, we criticize Japanese cruelty; we don't replicate it. Japan didn't have the right to invade China for our refusal to join their east asian cooperation sphere and we don't have to right to invade them for any refusal to join our new world order either.

Japan never had the right to do what they did because they were not the originator of East Asian civilization.

China, as the mother civilization of all of East Asia, has a right to creating an East Asian sphere of influence and inducting nation states (by force if necessary) into this order.

Looks like Putin is right that Russia can wait out for a victory and good term for peace.

She is not mainstream so her views will be minority.

In the 13-minute recording released by Vovan and Lexus, whose real names are Vladimir Kuznetsov and Alexei Stolyarov, Ms Meloni also complains that Italy

and that the EU refuses to offer any real help.

“They don’t care. They don’t pick up the telephone,” she said. “They think that it is Italy’s problem.”

This will be better indicator but we have to see practical reliability.

Our source in the OP said that Turkey has almost completely stopped arms supplies to Ukraine, and not only through the official line. Our traders on the black market are not allowed to work and their contacts are blocked; on Bankova I believe that these are unspoken agreements between Erdogan and Putin.

Apple has warned over a half dozen Indian lawmakers from Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s main opposition of their iPhones being targets of state-sponsored attacks, these people said Tuesday, in a serious digital espionage charge just months ahead of next year’s general elections.

New Delhi has been accused of deploying the Israeli Pegasus spyware, blacklisted by the U.S. government, on activists and opposition leaders for years. While India has never acknowledged dealings with NSO, the Israeli developer of Pegasus, the company’s malware, has

Sounds like part of the reason Modi sides pro-Israel is because he needs their spyware.

Canadians trying not to glorify war criminals, fascists and Nazis challenge (impossible):

Canadian Heritage is conducting a review to ensure the monument is compatible with 'Canadian values.'

The controversial monument, already $6 million over its original cost estimate of $1.5 million and years behind schedule, gained national attention in 2021 when CBC News

that commemorative “virtual bricks” were purchased to pay tribute to an assortment of suspected war criminals, fascists and Nazi collaborators.

“I flagged names that were potentially problematic because they appeared to have belonged to people who were involved in fascist or collaborationist outfits during the Second World War, mostly in Eastern Europe or the Balkans.”

One of the most notorious names is Roman Shukhevych: “[…] Shukhevych commanded the Nachtigall battalion, a Ukrainian unit embedded in the Wehrmacht, which partook in the anti-Jewish Lviv pogrom on July 1, 1941.”

As a commander of various Nazi units, and later as the leader of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army, Shukhevych is believed to be responsible for the deaths of around 90,000 Polish civilians, according to Rudling, as well as thousands of Jews, Armenians, Russian prisoners of war, Czechs and other minority groups across Eastern Europe.

The Shukhevych monument in Edmonton, one of

monuments to Nazi collaborators across Canada, has been the target of anti-racist and anti-fascist graffiti.

Our dear Nazis need protection from those evil anti-fascists.

No, China doesn't have a right to force Japan, Korea and Vietnam into vassal status. If they want to isolate themselves from the world, as Japan did for centuries, then they can do that. China only offers win win cooperation. But if they host enemy troops from America then they're legitimate targets for destruction and invasion

Did she ever work to start with? Or even managed 5 people in any setting? Giving 18-25 year olds political power is among the dumbest Western "cool" trends. It is really a medieval era thing. It is arguably even worse because back then the children of royalty were educated in state affairs from their early childhood. The same is not true for modern politicians in their early-20s.

Don't worry, in NZ politics she's in the opposition in a minor party (a party of the indigenous people) with no political power at all, at least for this term anyway.

It's just a cosy job earning about NZD 170,000 a year, not bad for a 21 yr old. She will get invited to public events, have a few speeches, perhaps getting involved in some select committees with no real consequences. If she performs well, she might get noticed and perhaps join one of the bigger parties with more say in the future.

If she's keen on staying in politics, she can learn the ropes, build a network of connections in the govt, build a support base in her constituency.

China is taking a stance that can be called as anti-israel. I believe China has calculated enough to know what they're doing.

BYD can kiss goodbye to the Israel market for sure, a small price in the grand scheme of things.

They have defeated the Xinjiang narrative and won more than a billion people with their stance, that is trade and business that the Yanks and Europeans are gonna lose out on.
