Funnily enough there's a lot of Irish heritage in Mexico. During the Mexican-American war the Irish who were on the American side thought "this is messed up" and swapped to Mexico's side.
This news story is horrible, but the headline is funny with this context.
I guess a little, I shouldn't have assumed all people with family connections in China would speak Chinese as their first language. And I completely forgot about Hong Kong which has (or had, IDK) a significant English-speaking population.
Unrelated but why is the South China Morning Post asking me for money. I'd assume an English language Chinese newspaper exists solely for propaganda purposes. Is there a market for this in the West?
EDIT: It's Hong Kong based, that's why it's so weird.
This is terrible for business. But worse between this and the Rhode Island wind farm he cancelled he seems to be particularly striking fear into the "green" sectors (I know EV's aren't really that green). This is not good for the climate.
"About 70% of commodities grown in Brazil go to China. This allows the Chinese to coerce farmers there to buy equipment and products from Chinese vendors, Grobmyer added."
There were reports America was gonna offer everyone $10,000 for Greenland.
America has the money to easily offer every citizen of Greenland $5,000,000. If it were me I'd take that and move to Norway or something. But of course they weren't prepared to offer more than chump change to the few thousand people there so they went straight to espionage.
Like, Trump could easily make a pretty good deal from America's perspective. There's basically nobody there. But he's choosing coercion.
China I'm still undecided on, though it's nearly impossible to avoid. The reason isn't so much war crimes as just becoming a bit uncomfortably powerful and who knows whether that's a good or bad thing.
If you fly via El Salvador you should be able to get around America.
