Ukrainian nationalism as a principle is centered around Ukrainians being ethnically and linguistically distinct from Russians.

Do you not understand why Ukraine exists as a country?

Yeah that ICJ ruling sure did a lot to stop Israeli aggression.

Meanwhile "Western countries" enforcing the so-called "rules-based international order" don't give a fuck about the ICJ ruling on literal genocide.

CoL in China is rising so fast that it's now cheaper to return to Japan.

Kinmen is 10km from Xiamen on the Chinese mainland and 187km from Taiwan.

This time on shit the IDF says...

Did you know that almost every home has a metal tube that extends into an underground tunnel network that's commonly used to transport liquids and waste?

I doubt Israel will give up their Palestinian prisoners as leverage, so this deal is probably DOA.

Bulk price of $193000/unit for 6000 units with a $50000 cost basis.

Macron is a fucking joke

Deeply troubled that it was released

After criticising Israel for its scorched-earth military operation in Gaza and defending Palestinian human rights, Chinese dissident artist Ai Weiwei had his long-planned exhibition at the famed Lisson Gallery in London abruptly cancelled in November. When asked about the experience at the weekend on Sky’s Sunday Morning, a current affairs TV programme in Britain, the 66-year-old likened it to political censorship in China.

“I grew up within this heavy political censorship,” he said. “I realise now, today in the West, you are doing exactly the same.”

Referring to the suspension of two New York University professors for comments related to Gaza, he added: “This is really like a cultural revolution, which is really trying to destroy anybody who [has] different attitudes, not even a clear opinion. So I think that this is such a pity, that it happened in the West, so broadly in universities, in media, in every location. In universities or political sector – everywhere – you cannot talk about the truth.”

Southern and central China are drowning. Since June 18, the regions have suffered their worst bout of flooding in a decade, furthered by a category 4 typhoon that hit the mainland after sweeping through Taiwan Friday morning, local time.

Coincidentally happened after Belgium refused to cut UNRWA funding. Pure coincidence from a country using some of the most advanced guided munitions in the world.

Hamas will demand that all Palestinian hostages will be released and Israel won't "release them" and take even more. Unlikely to happen given Israel's track record.

To not lose face, didn't you read?

1. Gives weapons to group saying they'll exterminate Palestinians
2. Group uses weapons to attack Palestinians
3. Palestinian allies are upset about the situation
4. Don't threaten me bro!

But I was told America's MIC had infinite resources?

Central Asia may finally be stabilizing? The Taliban might not be your ideal government, but it's a well-supported government in a region that's dealt with way too much chaos and way too much bloodshed.
