Honestly, I think this is mostly symbolic - the economic cooperation between the two governments is about as minimal as it gets anyway, and the tourist scheme was already suspended for nearly a decade. Presumably there were no near term plans to resume the scheme, so it's not going to bring in any more money for the north. Might as well axe the legislation to give your rival the middle finger if it's not useful otherwise.
I think it would be an enormous strategic error for NK to engage in war any time soon, given China's military is not in a healthy state, and Russia is busy in Ukraine. A direct conventional conflict with SK would be extremely difficult to win with the difference in technology, even with their enormous military spending.
And nuclear weapons are, frankly, much more effective as a deterrent than as a weapon itself. Firing them on SK will inevitably trigger response fire from the US nuclear weapons stationed on the peninsula.
That one stumped me for a bit too - I think the minimum threshold is 100k, but he had more than that (~150k for the maths to check out)
This, though, means that even ignoring the "irregular" signatures he would still have been well over that threshold, so there also would have been no motive for him to even want to falsify signatures.
Yes, you're definitely getting ratiod into oblivion because there's a shadowy cabal of around 30 people who spend their days downvoting your posts, specifically.
Definitely not just that your take is bad, and your response to criticism of that take is even worse.
Brics doesn't even have a centralised currency of any form lol.
For it to have the world standard currency, the bunch of systemic competitors that make up brics (almost all of which have at least some major cause of friction with at least one of member) to:
agree on a name, design and production strategy that every single member is happy with
have a centralised bank somewhere that is controlled by some (presumably inter-state) entity
have all members adopt that currency as their primary currency, phasing out their existing state controlled ones
have the currency be more stable and commonly accepted than USD
Only then can it even really begin to start being a world currency
Frankly, I don't think there's nearly enough cooperation within the group to even start making steps toward a common currency for decades
Or, alternatively, whatever their actual role in the organisation is. In this case, no current formal role, but he is the ex-chairman of Hamas.
Of course, the article would like to pretend he's still a key figure so it can imply that he speaks for Hamas, but in reality he retired over a decade ago.
"Moderately related" as in "written by and with royalties paid to"
People, and trans people especially, absolutely have good reason to not want to buy a product that directly funds a person who is actively hostile to their existence.
You can't deal with critical comments from a community who are directly affected by the actions of a major stakeholder? That's pathetic.
Ooh, I do!
