And you get to remain rich.

It's already been done.

Cultured human meat has already been done.

The article doesn't actually say anything. If waffles between different (Ukraine war) topics with little connection. The only quote that actually suggests women are suffering dis-proportionally is unattributed. The article itself has no credit.

Think ya'll getting baited into getting upset at some AI-regurgitated filler.

Let that Aussie get him out. USA shouldn’t do a damn thing to free him imho.

Besides just being an interesting celestial thing, this is a non-story. They happen often and this one will probably not cause any issues.

>an arms dealer…

Yes and life is exactly like Hollywood and this guy is going to become the next big evil genius who is going to bring down the world. We need James Bond stat /s

In reality he's an old washed up burnt criminal that's been held in prison for far too long to even be considered a threat. Contacts are all gone, respect is all dried up, his criminal network doesn't exist anymore etc. Any more on who thinks this guy is any kind of problem anymore is truly a class a moron. Fairytale believer

He was a trophy release for Russia just to say that they got to "win". While we got a decent person back in return.

Well...she's a decent person unless you're a bigoted POS. If that is you then I do apologize. I know I'm not going to convince you otherwise.

To be clear:

(a) Taiwan is an independent state, not a quasi-independent state.

(b) The only reason that any other state maintains the sham that is the "One China" policy is because China threatens to sever diplomatic and trade relations if they don't.

You do not authentically imply that a state is not independent because you are coerced into an evasive policy or you maintain it only to keep the peace.

(c) The only reason that China has not used military force to annex Taiwan in the past is because it did not have the capabilities to do so; it is beginning to believe that it might have that capability in the near future, which is why the prospect of an invasion is becoming more likely.

It is not because of Taiwan's importance as a producer of semiconductors; China wanted to annex Taiwan before it became a dominant manufacturer of semiconductors.

(d) The US and other states take seriously China's intention to invade Taiwan; very few serious commentators think (as your comment implies) that there is no (or even a very low) risk of invasion over the medium-term time horizon.

Commentators take seriously Xi Jinping's express direction to the PLA that it should be able to invade Taiwan by 2027.

(e) Other countries were "cozying up" to Taiwan long before it became a major manufacturer of microchips; most democratic states recognised Taiwan as the legitimate government in mainland China until the rapprochement between the US and the CCP in 1972.

The US and its allies continue to support Taiwan because it is a vibrant democratic state with liberal values in South East Asia that a ruthless authoritarian state wants to crush; it is not "because microchips" as you have claimed.

That it is a major manufacturer of microchips only increases its importance; but the US and its allies would defend it against Chinese aggression even if it wasn't (as the US did in the 1990s).

I don’t think anyone plays basketball in the WBNA

Lol where did i tell these poor, noble "under developed" countries they must change. I'm not mad. You're the one so triggered by me suggesting make as many changes AS POSSIBLE at an individual level while pressuring for bigger changes resulting in your mind numbing comments.

But hey keep hiding behind other groups some more to avoid adapting your diet.

You are right that most of us are fortunate to have gone through our industrial revolutions polluting away while now seeming hypocritical by not allowing other countries to do the same. The onus is on us to help everyone develop in the least environmentally (negative) impactful way. Your suggestion seems like that of someone weak willed

The headline appeared to be pretty dismissive of the hardship men have endured during this conflict. However headlines are often misleading (especially on Reddit) so I decided to read the article. There is really nothing in the article to support the claim that “women and children have suffered disproportionately” but it is also a short and poorly written article. Perhaps they try and justify the statement in the primary source material? The article has no link to the primary source.

As it currently stands, it seems like a pretty sexist statement.

You mean he’s kidnapping 400,000 people at gunpoint and sending them to the front lines to an almost sure death.

I hope Diana from Sky gets out, and that BBC guy too, their in danger. 😐

It's not about if we will go to war but more about when we will go.

There is a State Department travel advisory warning against travel to Russia. Because of the risk of unlawful detentions like this.

What was WSJ thinking here?

I never met an American chinese person that cares about one china or propaganda except some being “understanding of ccp control of 1 billion people as necessary”

Interesting, thank you.

There's no democratic process in Russia regardless of the superficial laws you impose. Term limits are pointless when the country is held hostage by the FSB and their cronies.

Same for Iran and North Korea.

Does he play basketball 🏀 in the WBNA? If he doesn’t fill the box or agenda. I think he will be there for a looooong time.
