Even if they could, they wouldn't get the resources as cheaply as theyre getting them now. Also China has recall elections, if Xi went mad and unilaterally decided to go to war with a country so important to Chinas economy, he'd be booted so fast.
France was forcing Niger to give up its resources for a fraction of market value while keeping them from developing industry. Buy their product at a fair market value, or even better: follow China's mutual development strategy and provide funds and experts to build a refinery.
China doesnt mine much uranium, but they do fabricated fuel pellets with ore from Kazakhstan.
Nuclear energy was the answer between like 1950 and 2010. But the fact that China isnt going all in on nuclear despite having optimal conditions; central planning allows them to predict maximum prices for materials and labor available 5-10 years in advance, the scale allows them to produce reactors more efficiently with better investment in tooling than any other country, and being the workshop of the world ensures higher demand than any other country. They are at <5% nuclear right now and expect <10% by 2035.
Not when coal and gas fill the void. They can get fuel rods from France, Canada, China. Hell Germany could just refine their own, Niger is looking for trading partners.
Not on state charges. But Newsom doesn want the optics of going after the troops for illegally kicking the shit out of his own constituants, because that would play terribly with the only important demographic for democrats, republican voters.
No, the pregnancy is accelerated, but I think it takes longr than a day, but it might be faster in some circumstances. Even if you get 3 billion dollars, it doesnt really matter if you're going to die giving birth to a hermaphroditic hybrid of homosapian and smallpox days later.
As far as mpreg goes; we dont know. Do you want to take that risk?
Making headlines by having the equivalent of a twitter fight does nothing to prevent harm. You know what would? Newsom ordering the national guard to return to base and reminding them that they will be prosecuted under state law for following unlawful orders.
No, even in 1776, there were contemporaries who mocked a bunch of rich slave owners talking about freedom while stealing land from native americans. American freedom had always been the freedom for the ruling class to exploit the underclass.
Biden could have packed the court, but said "it would make it political forever". Tge commander-in-chief could have ordered military hospitals to provide women's healthcare, he could have told the AG abd everyone else he nominated to pressure/punish red states which ban abortion.
Strom Thurmond's friend, who split with the party to end desegregstion, chose to let the Republicans do this, because he does not want what we want.
Do we consider the armed German settlers living around the ghetto in a foreign country civilians? I mean they brought their own children to help colonize their new living space.
Also all their examples of non-violent successes had violent factions demonstrating the alternative.
