More guns, bulletproof backpacks and heavily armed compounds, maybe kids should be trained at age of 7 to shoot at the bad guys. Since the school has preschool, why don't you start younger at age 5.

Is he asking for hate mail? Sheesh. That's like me showing a photo of me getting high after a bunch of kids ODed on Fentanyl.

Should have clarified. Putin insisted on China accepting India in SCO as a return for letting Pakistan to join it, due to Putin wanting to "balance" China's influence lmfao

As I have said a lot of times, Putin is not the sharpest tool in the shed. Unfortunately though, China has to pay for his stupidity with having India playing its stupid games and acting as a US saboteur in SCO
SCO has lost its focus on Central Asian security ever since US withdrew from Afghanistan, Tajikistan kicked US bases out of it's country, so now it's taken a more economic-focus, but has still kept it's principles of multipolarity.

So long as India/Pakistan support multipolarity and economic focus of SCO, they are free to dick around in bilateral security sphere. It's not really in conflict with SCO focus, since SCO could never rival the traditional alliances like NATO or CSTO. It's still nice that India is in BRICS/SCO while also in QUAD. They are nominally non-aligned so good to keep them around even if SCO doesn't do much.

And India isn't a British construct?
India was divided based on Arabic ideology and its Arabic wealth that run the show. They did it as favor . More Prosperous India is in there interest that division hindered it. who knows they may change policy depends how things develop. I am sure all those leaders of Turkic states that visit Middle East they see visible carrot and hidden stick. No one object to India entering SCO and i am sure it is cleared behind the scenes with all.

If this disaster spreads from the Ohio River downstream to the Mississippi and contaminates the US breadbasket, China should blanket ban all agricultural imports from that region.

Make them undergo inspection by Chinese authorities before selling in China. Good way to repay the US for their Xinjiang ban. Turnabout is fair play.

Not the best idea.

Just wait for the American civil war unfold, then there will be progress being made to that end. The government is not forever but the people are and the people are not interested in dying overseas for the USA for stupid reasons like once before.

"We found that some exemplars, such as heroes should love their country, related to the feature of patriotism, have been reported frequently by Chinese participants. However, the feature of patriotism was not prevalent in Western heroes.

Chinese participants, compared with American participants, are likely to perceive social heroes (e.g., martyrs, political figures, and religious leaders who lead a nation or inspire a movement for civil rights and freedom) as being more heroic than the other two types of heroes (martial and civil types)."

*note: fascinating study, but take the entire psych field with a grain of salt.

The Office of the United States Trade Representative is expected to make what was described as a "final offer" to Mexico negotiators to open its oil and power industry and agree to some increased oversight.

U.S. oil companies such as Chevron and Marathon Petroleum have struggled to get permits to operate in Mexico in recent years.

If the panel rules against Mexico and it fails to take corrective action, Washington and Ottawa could ultimately impose billions of dollars in retaliatory tariffs on Mexican goods.

The criminals blocked the investigation of their crime.

The UN Security Council did not support the Russian-Chinese resolution on the international investigation of the Nord Stream sabotage Monday.

The resolution was supported by 3 countries, with zero votes against and 12 nations abstained. Thus, the resolution failed to receive nine votes required for approval.

The resolution was supported by Russia, China and Brazil.

Albania, the UK, Gabon, Ghana, Malta, Mozambique, the UAE, the US, France, Switzerland, Ecuador and Japan abstained.

The resolution, if adopted, would have requested the Secretary-General to establish an international, independent investigation commission to conduct a comprehensive, transparent and impartial international investigation of all aspects of the act of sabotage on the Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas pipelines — including identification of its perpetrators, sponsors, organizers and accomplices.
