I'm not sure about this source. That guy (Dan Cohen) used to work for RT (Russian Television) America. He also worked with Blumenthal "The Grayzone". Both are not very reputable sources.
the article is veeery vague as to what "more" means, no actual data.
From the article:
"From October through January, US Border Patrol agents registered about 19,000 illegal Chinese entries. During the same period in 2021, while pandemic restrictions were still in place, only 55 were registered. "
Wealthy countries shoulf stop exporting waste to LICs as well though.
I get what you are saying. But for reference, developed countries also import waste from other counties. All countries are payed for the import and for waste process. What the countries really do with it is an entire other matter, but it seems many countries simply dump it.
Also the proposal to turn it in a methane producing plant, or simply fill it up with soil would be smart choice. Some countries don't do either.
"The Nato chief, Jens Stoltenberg, has said any attack on the western military alliance would be met with a “united and forceful response”, after Donald Trump invited Russia to attack member countries that he perceived as not meeting their financial obligations.
Stoltenberg said in a statement: “Any suggestion that allies will not defend each other undermines all of our security, including that of the US, and puts American and European soldiers at increased risk. I expect that regardless of who wins the presidential election, the US will remain a strong and committed Nato ally.”
Tnx for pointing me in the right direction. I also looked it up (NYT link
"Ms. O’Neill’s elevation to first minister of Northern Ireland on Saturday will mark the first time that a politician who wishes to take the territory out of the United Kingdom has held that role."
The best word I've heard that covers that, is the Portuguese " Saudade "; especially because it's ingrained in the culture ( e.g. Fado) .same for Brazil ofc.
