Yes, but read the title headline without context. Marriage rate down, bride prices up. Without any context that sounds like human trafficking/slavery and the selling of women, which is a farcry from reality.

So they are being deliberately being misleading to incite more chinese hatred.

You 'could' have done something better with your time than waste it posting that nonsense

Did the treaty include that the military would evac BEFORE the citizens and allies? Here’s a short NBC report admitting the failure . Even my rotted conservative brain knows that you keep military presence until AFTER the civilians are evacuated.

What kind of message would it send? It’s clear that the withdrawal was not successful. American citizens are still stuck there. If you’re saying that the Trump agreement was a “bad” one then the message it would send to other countries would have been “my predecessor made a bad agreement. I’m undoing it because it was bad and this is the right thing to do.”

Again, I am skeptical that Trump promised “I will hastily withdraw everyone in the span of two weeks, first withdrawing the military so that it’s near impossible to protect the only airport. Then I’ll get some service members killed and finically we’ll finish off by leaving Americans and Allies behind and we’ll get the press secretary to spin it as a historic success.”

Who is lying? Two generals testified to Congress that they advised Biden to keep 2,500 troops in Afghanistan. Biden said “military advisers did not tell me to keep troops on the ground past the withdrawal deadline”.

It's "dowry"

Because China sees other countries doing diplomacy with Taiwan as a recognition of Taiwan’s sovereignty, something China cannot stand the idea of. China thinks they own Taiwan, and are willing to make threats to keep other countries from recognizing Taiwan’s independence, for fear of a massive retaliation.

on mobile there's a 'home' feed which shows you posts from all the subs you've joined. And 'popular' which is just all the hot posts from 'all'.

Isn't dowry essentially "bride price"? It's a price you pay for a bride?

The issue is that dowry is so rare in western countries people likely don't know what it is anymore.

Money is a bartering system. We barter time and work for money then money for goods and services.

You need a universal medium of exchange otherwise how does e.g. a plumber keep his family fed? There's a limit to how many farmers in the area want plumbing work, so then the guy would be stuck needing a warehouse to store all of the bullshit he works for but does not want, and needs to store until it can be bartered. Everyone has to be a General Store.

Money is good. How we allow it to work and be politically controlled is not great.

Edit: it would be even worse for the farmer trying to offload a whole harvest and just needing to accept whatever people could trade before it expired.

No because we usually eat our mici and sarmale more than pasta

The Biden administration didn’t “have” to do anything. Again, Biden had no problem upending many other things. And again, everyone knew that was going to happen - hence all of his military advisors telling him not to proceed. here is a NBC report (so you can’t scream “bias”) on the administration botching the withdrawal If you want to argue that Trump signed this agreement and therefore they were “forced” to go forward with it, fine. Was the agreement that the US would evac their military before all of the non-military citizens? Was the agreement that they would surrender all the major airports, leaving only a small one to evac thousands of people? Was the agreement that Afghan allies would fall to their deaths from hanging off wheel wells of flying planes?

You at right in the technical sense, but I think you are just nitpicking. If someone convinces grandma to give them her Facebook login, grandma says she got hacked, and would probably call that person a hacker. GPT isn’t really an AI, but we call it that anyways because how society uses words doesn’t stick to a single dictionary definition.

thats going to be one hell of a long ride to get it to ukraine.

Whut? I didn't say I was a climate scientist man. Those most likely studied physics. I said I am an environmental scientist. And as I said, I'm not asking you to trust me. What the other guy said is true.

>scenarios with very low and low GHG emissions and CO2 emissions declining to net zero around or after 2050, followed by varying levels of net negative CO2 emissions23 (SSP1-1.9 and SSP1-2.6), as illustrated in Figure SPM.4.

As we all know, that is very unlikely. But hey, it's conceivable. Anyway, become an environmental activist. Don't give up. There's good reasons to fight.

>If we can learn to work together on a bartering system again, the whole idea of money would go away and these people would have zero power.

And if my grandmother had wheels, she would have been a bike.

"moron"

My point is, that anyone can trick a naive person to give up their password. They don't need to be a "Hacker" and they often aren't. The article's title is misleading and sensationalized.

My dude. The United States’ CIA founded the Taliban as a means of counterbalancing USSR presence in the region.

Literally the CIA gave the Taliban indoctrination materials. The CIA admits to doing this as well.

Its worth it if you think the Russian people are worth redemption. There are still 100+ millions in Russia.

You’re*

There are a number of parts in this that i find distressful.

Neutrality. What does that mean??? I understand you won't take sides in a conflict situation so does that mean you have no opinion? no empathy? Where/how is neutrality enforced? do you declare you are neutral and then what??? putin would say .."guys, i think they a neutral country, we cant have any special operation.."

also if you are "neutral" shouldn't you listen more??? understand/determine motivation??? i think people countries that blanket themselves under "neutrality" are not to be trusted nor played with.

what does pro-russian mean? does it mean eliminating freedom of speech? eliminating choosing who leads you?

i think we need more politicians, and people, who would be like Marcus Aurelius.

The fact that the US can know a detail as relatively small as this is so interesting to me. I know every country has it's covert operations and spy networks, but it seems like we have ears everywhere

Stolen grain, probably.

Imagine being dubious about working with China. How outrageous.

What was he supposed to do break a treaty the previous president signed ? What msg would that send to other nations ? That the us will break a treaty when they want just because ? Your conservative brain rot is showing.
