  • Ukraine now in full control of Kherson Oblast’s left bank, forcing Russians to flee from reinforced ‘Surovikin'

    Jump

  • The source is the current director of the National Antarctic Science Center. Dr. Dykyi has not been in service since 2015, when the Aidar Battalion was dispanded following reports (from Amnesty International) of war crimes committed in Donbas.

  • Russia Facing 'Mass Casualties' from Ukrainian Strikes Behind Lines, UK Ministry Says

    Jump

  • Isn't VOA still funded by the US government? VOA literally purges journalists that don't say that the President's ass smells like flowers.

  • Pakistan seeks BRICS membership, turns to Russia for support

    Jump

  • BRICS is really trying to create world peace lmao

    Saudi Arabia and Iran in the same bloc. India and China in the same block. India and Pakistan in the same bloc. These are literally the most dangerous flashpoints in the world.

  • UN climate meetings organized in a way that benefits richer, larger countries: Study

    Jump

  • The countries whose economies are tied to O&G exploitation (Norway, Canada, Saudi Arabia, the United States, etc.) are the same ones that are trying to subjugate the voices of others? Say it isn't so...

  • Paris aims to drive out large SUVs by increasing parking fees

    Jump

  • They should drive out large cars before heavy cars.

  • More than 1 million gallons of oil leaks into Gulf of Mexico, potentially putting endangered species at risk

    Jump

  • Turns out, building your entire economy and financial system on O&G causes problems for the environment, huh?

  • Cuban ministers reveal details of food, fuel shortages amid economic crisis

    Jump

  • The US embargo of Cuba has been widely condemned by every country except Israel and Ukraine. The UN General Assembly has tried time and time again to get the US to end the embargo, but to no avail.

  • US thwarted plot to kill Sikh separatist, issued warning to India

    Jump

  • The US, who has jurisdiction to operate in territory covering ~80% of Canada's population...

  • Israel recalls ambassador ahead of South African parliamentary vote to shut down Israeli embassy

    Jump

  • Surely, South Africa wouldn't have any reason to view apartheid in a negative light.

  • Far-right leader Geert Wilders wins Dutch election: Exit poll

    Jump

  • The slide towards far-right fascism continues...

  • US thwarted plot to kill Sikh separatist, issued warning to India

    Jump

  • The US thwarts one on US soil, but lets two proceed in the sovereign territory of it's closest ally with little more than a statement of "children, stop fighting." Glad to know that the lives of two Canadians is worth substantially less than the life of one American.

    Five Eyes, NATO, NORAD, and for what?

  • South Korea suspends no-fly zone near border after purported North Korea spy satellite launch

    Jump

  • South Korea does not yet have a spy satellite, but is planning to launch one later this month.

  • Israel, Hamas agree deal for release of Gaza hostages, truce

    Jump

  • The concept of evaluating media for bias and conflating that with factuality is, frankly, terrifying. A site's political views is not necessarily representative of its factuality, but Media Bias Fact Check consistently penalizes sites that have "never failed a fact check" because they are not considered to be "least biased."

    These sites bite off more than they can chew. They're extremely US-Western-centric (mostly because the authors of these sites tend to be American and thus have their own set of American biases) - claiming that America is somehow the paragon of journalistic freedoms and free speech is, in itself, an American bias. CBC, which hasn't failed a fact check, is only a "high" on the factual reporting scale, for example. Meanwhile Reuters, for which I can point to multiple instances where they got key details wrong, gets a "very high" for factual reporting.

  • Israel, Hamas agree deal for release of Gaza hostages, truce

    Jump

  • A blockade is an act of war as defined by international law.

  • China closes hundreds of mosques to ‘sinicise Muslims’

    Jump

  • Sinicization is when people are forced to become atheists.

  • Is it too late to keep global warmingbelow 1.5 °C? The challenge in 7 charts

    Jump

  • It's been North American policy for years now that there's no chance of keeping temperature below 1.5C. We've ramped up natural gas production at a terrifying rate, knowing that it will be worse for the environment on a 20-year (and maybe even a 100-year) time scale because of fugitive emissions, but trusting that it will eventually equalize.

    That policy is just plain fucked up because it takes the brunt of the environmental impact today and pushes the recovery to some unknown time far in the future, but that's the policy that we've taken. In fact, US energy production from fossil fuels has risen by 40% since it's plateau in the 1970s-2000s period. Fourty percent.

  • Canada-China detention feud reopened after claims of ‘unwitting’ espionage

    Jump

  • If anyone has actually done some digging into the backgrounds of the two Michaels, this shouldn't be at all surprising. Either China accidentally found the two most suspicious Canadians in China, China intentionally found the two most suspicious Canadians in China explicitly to unfairly detain them despite knowing that nobody would believe the justification anyway, or the two most suspicious Canadians in China were either spies or unwitting spies.

    Kovrig is a "former diplomat and current geopolitical analyst working with the International Crisis Group." His work involves "splitting his time between Hong Kong and Beijing offices and travelling around the the east Asia region for research."

    Spavor is "director and founder of Paektu Cultural Exchange, an NGO that facilitates cultural exchange with North Korea." His work involves constantly crossing into and out of North Korea and he supposedly has connections with Kim Jong-Un as well as high-level officials in the DPRK government.

    If you've read any of the public reports on typical covers given to spies, this should be raising so many red flags.

  • Philippines vows not to surrender 'square inch' of territory in South China Sea

    Jump

  • They do when speaking in Hawaii

  • Biden and Netanyahu to discuss Potential economic plans for Gaza centred around offshore natural gas fields

    Jump

  • O&G once again is the key driver behind foreign policy around the world: the US in the Middle East, China in the South China Sea, Israel in Gaza...

    The renewables transition cannot happen quickly enough.
