UK-US air strikes launched against Houthis in Yemen

Jump

  • By... Enforcing a blockade of companies that trade with Israel?

    Jeez, you're really starting to sound like an antisemite with your idiotic "Jews control the world" narrative. Are you going to pull out an octopus emoji next?

  • There's still a bunch of nukes swimming around. I don't think AI is a humanity-wiping level threat so much as it is a way of dehumanizing conflicts.

  • Enforcing a blockade while at war? Lmao yes.

  • Both the KMT and the TPP are in favour of closer ties, not reunification.

    It's far more likely Taiwan ends up in a One Country, Two Systems dynamic.

    • Canada not getting behind 'premise' of South Africa's genocide case against Israel

    Jump

  • I have never felt more ashamed to be Canadian. In 2016, Canada had 220 thousand Lebanese-Canadians and 50 thousand Palestinian-Canadians. It feels like the complete alienation of the Arab community.

    • West divided? Italy, Spain, France 'fail' to even back US-UK action on Ansarallah

  • This becomes really bad for Europe and really not so bad for everywhere else. Suez traffic is dominated by Asian exports to Europe.

  • Boeing has bad operations and engineering, instead relying on "neutral" government support to cut out competitors.

  • Norway once again demonstrating that their regard for the environment only extends so far as it does not affect corporate profits.

    • Japanese firms opt out of Malaysia-Singapore high-speed rail project

    Jump

  • Japanese firms are getting outcompeted by Chinese ones in critical fields like trains and cars. Japanese firms should be terrified of the implications.

  • This is the same "international recognition" that doesn't consider Taiwan to be a legitimate government?

    International recognition isn't worth shit. Ansarallah has de facto control over the vast majority of Yemen's territory. Just as the ROC is the government of Taiwan, Ansarallah is the government of Yemen.

  • Oh, Ansarallah is now using Stingers? Must be a coincidence.

  • There's an interesting discussion here about how surplus energy shifts the economics of certain fields.

    There recently was a paper discussing repurposing old computers and smartphones for use during periods of energy excess: while this compute might not be practical at average electricity rates, it might be worthwhile to have them available for use when electricity is cheap.

    • UK-US air strikes launched against Houthis in Yemen

    Jump

  • Ansarallah has been very clear on the degree of association with Israel they consider sufficient for enforcement of the blockade.

    Again, COSCO is literally sailing ships through the Suez Canal.
