The time from inception to going online for a new Nuclear reactor is in the range of 15-25 years.

In the US. In China, nuclear reactors go from first pour to operation in 5-6 years. Economies of scale apply.

Today, there is 413GW of nuclear capacity globally. Of that, 57GW is in China.

China plans to reach 300GW of nuclear capacity by 2035. Assuming linear growth, that number will be around 550GW by 2050 (more than double the current global nuclear capacity) There are currently 57 nuclear power plants under construction. 21 are in China. 1 is in the US.

This US pledge is basically useless.

According to an author that still calls the place by its colonial British name? Pot, meet kettle...

Saying the Gray Zone is disinformation...

Based on them denying a genocide theory that's been spread primarily by Adrian Zenz, a radical right-wing Christian extremist funded by the US government?

Israel built the tunnels under al-Shifa.

In classic Western-sphere policy, they don't believe that anyone else could possibly innovate or produce their own things.

China... Lost control... Of ethnic armies... In Myanmar?

Is China secretly colonizing Myanmar?

Maybe if BoJo hadn't tanked the peace deal last year idk

Didn't Khashoggi write for MEE? I sure wonder why Saudi Arabia wouldn't like MEE...

Hamas only exists because of Israel. They are only radicalized because of the IDF.

The US did the same thing to the Native Americans and supported the South African apartheid regime, so it's no surprise they support colonialism and apartheid here.

Fentanyl for China is about not wanting to regulate action that's legal domestically. The illusion of a free market and whatnot.

Basically 0 lmao

A fine of about 10k USD or... life in prison

Gee, sure sounds similar to me

Japan is getting caught in the middle of the US-China trade war. Japan's largest trading partners are, in order, China, ASEAN and the US. The strong USD is leading to more expensive imports from the US and American policy on trade curbs is harming trade with China.

I guess this is one way to ensure a bipolar world... Crush the EU (by knocking out the German economic powerhouse) then force Japan to go against their largest trading partner so their economy ends up in the gutter.

Is this the classic democracy that ignores when 68% of the population calls for a ceasefire in Israel?

The classic free market that leads to the highest per-capita healthcare spending?

Maybe it's the free market that's [stopping people from being EVs]('They Want To Be The Gatekeepers': Car Dealers Are Stopping Customers From Buying EVs)?

Oh, maybe it's the secular state where issues like abortion are decided on religious lines.

Did those people forget to condemn Hamas?

Vietnam and Mexico could take advantage of the arbitrage opportunity (sell domestic bonds, buy US bonds), but clearly aren't because they think there's no edge?

That's... Pretty crazy. Doesn't bode well for US inflation.

By the widely recognized origin of the word (the Soviet Union rolling in tanks to suppress revolution in Hungary) and what it means (people in support of that use of force and tanks to suppress civilian revolution), supporters of Israel and the US are both "tankies." Glad we agree, good talk!

Let me be a bit more clear:

By the widely recognized origin of the word

Edit: maybe I wasn't clear enough

widely recognized origin

Infamous because... People buy them? Better tell Apple that all crimes conducted by their users are the responsibility of the company.

The US uses Israel for regional destabilization. A unified Arab world (proposed by Nasser, Gaddafi, among others) would be a threat to US hegemony and the petrodollar. Most importantly, this would harm the US' ability to print obscene amounts of money in a crisis with minimal effect on domestic prices.
