  • EU countries destroy €4B worth of COVID vaccines

    Jump

  • I mean, to some degree it just makes economic sense: the Sputnik vaccine was $10/dose compared to the $30/dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines. If Guatemala has to burn it's entire budget to get enough Sputnik vaccines, I don't think the budget would have supported buying Pfizer/Moderna ones.

  • Seems like the big EU/US countries stockpiled the "acceptable" vaccines and left you guys in a shit position tbh

    The egregiously overextended demand for the few "acceptable" vaccines drove prices above what a country like Guatemala could reasonably accept, forcing the adoption of Sputnik

  • BP halts oil and gas shipments through Red Sea after rebel attacks

  • Maybe, just maybe, you should just allow food to be sent into Gaza, then?

  • Maersk to pause all container ship traffic through the Red Sea

  • At least 90 killed in latest Israeli attacks on Gaza’s Jabalia refugee camp

  • At least now we know that the American JDAMs Israel loves to use so much are good at surgical strikes, so long as the target is just "any building with Palestinians in it."

  • Bank Of Korea warns Korea's economy may enter negative territory in 2040s

    Jump

  • The ROK is sacrificing long-term growth (by mandating set work hours and increasing fertility) for short-term growth.

  • North Korea test fires ballistic missile with potential to reach entire US, Japan says

    Jump

  • North Korean engineering is fucking crazy.

  • Afghanistan: 'Tea is sometimes all I have to give my hungry baby'

    Jump

  • Afghanistan has always been one of the poorest countries on the planet. The Taliban-mandated stop in opium production collapsed their economy further. This is the aftermath of ceasing opium production more than anything else.

  • Quebec to raise university fees and mandate French for out-of-province students

    Jump

  • Frankly, good. Montreal was already becoming remarkably English and that has risks of encouraging Quebec secessionism. Same thing should happen for the Mayan language in Yucatan, Mexico.

  • EU countries destroy €4B worth of COVID vaccines

    Jump

  • Why was the EU stockpiling so many while Africa, Southeast Asia, and South America were reliant on the Sinovac/Sinopharm/CanSino vaccines?

  • BP halts oil and gas shipments through Red Sea after rebel attacks

  • It's funny how most companies are halting shipments through the Red Sea instead of opting for the much cheaper option of just... Not shipping to Israel.

  • I don't know what WW3 will be fought with, but WW4 will be fought with glorified supersoakers and loud music.

  • The short-term impacts of fugitive methane from oil and gas extraction are horrendous and can outweigh the long-term benefits compared to coal. If we can't even reach an agreement on acknowledging methane as an underreported problem that makes natural gas much worse than it's claimed to be, how can we expect to make any progress towards a resolution phasing out the use of fossil fuels?

    American energy production from fossil fuels has risen 40% over the past two decades with the rise of natural gas and it's showing no signs of stopping. China, despite owning the majority of the renewables market, has only managed to build up enough renewables manufacturing capacity to outpace energy demand growth this year. India is still stuck with coal for lack of better options. The EU is literally subsidizing tens of cents per kWh to prop up their economy with coal after the loss of cheap Russian gas. The big players are asleep at the wheel.

  • Chinese state media drops ‘Tibet’ for ‘Xizang’ after release of Beijing white paper

    Jump

  • Two questions:

    1. How do you define colonialism?
    2. Do you understand how the CPC functions as a government? How responsibilities are delegated from national to provincial and regional governments? How those governments are elected?

  • A name is a name. The Chinese name for America is 美国 (meiguo, "beautiful nation"). The English name for 中国 is China. A name makes no indication of ownership, unless you're suggesting the British still hold power over India?
