  • International law doesn't work too well when basically everyone ignores it.

    Russia? Yep. The US? Yep. Ukraine? Yep. Israel? Yep. Palestine? Yep. China? Yep. Vietnam? Yep. Taiwan? Yep.

    People are too attached to their profits and global trade to do anything.

  • Have you considered that the journalist might have been Hamas?

    Just like that Reuters journalist that was killed. Just like that Al Jazeera journalist that was killed.

    Odd. A lot of journalists are being killed. Maybe they're all Hamas?

  • It's a fundamentally different problem here: it's new infrastructure, which in this day and age is barely profitable in terms of first-order effects (fees, fares, etc.) but is significantly profitable in terms of second- and third-order effects (economic growth, new businesses, yada yada).

    If you could build a new subway in New York, spend zero capital, but have to give up the fare revenue for that subway, why wouldn't you?

    Also, the India/US alternative is to... Just outright give the Indian Adani group a majority stake in their port expansion. So much better. So much. Truly.
