  3. Immigration has been a major part of Meloni's campaigns with promises of stricter border controls, blocking boat landings, and establishing EU-managed centres outside the bloc to evaluate asylum applications. Giorgia Meloni's border protection is similar to Australia's Operation Sovereign Borders with offshore asylum facilities. With Meloni and Salvini’s parties both eurosceptic, the programme commits to “full adherence to the European integration process” while seeking a “more political and less bureaucratic” bloc i.e. "small government" idealogy. Real fascism has a big government interventionist ideology.

  8. A scorpion wants to cross a river but cannot swim, so it asks a frog to carry it across. The frog hesitates, afraid that the scorpion might sting it, but the scorpion promises not to, pointing out that it would drown if it killed the frog in the middle of the river. The frog considers this argument sensible and agrees to transport the scorpion. Midway across the river, the scorpion stings the frog anyway, dooming them both. The dying frog asks the scorpion why it stung despite knowing the consequence, to which the scorpion replies: "I am sorry, but I couldn't resist the urge. It's in my nature."

Philippines native Baybayin script is not Chinese script. Philippines native Baybayin script was replaced by the Latin script during Spanish Empire's influence.

  26. 1. France has backed Italy’s decision to block COVID-19 vaccine exports to Australia. France has shown its bias for Italy ahead of Australia. 2. A French lawmaker raised questions in the country’s parliament in June about Australian concerns over delays, and whether Australia might be considering submarine alternatives, French government records show. Proving the French were aware of the cost overruns and the failure to complete the design on time had created issues with the Australians. After Australia had spent 2.5 billion dollars for no tangible results. The French asked for an extension nearly two years ago which would extend the design completion date from July 2022 to September 2023. Cost overruns, failure to deliver contractual obligations on time, hostility from the French whenever Australia tried to work out these issues with the French. 2.5 billion dollars and no finished design after five years. That is a cost overrun and all the French lies and tantrums don't change the facts. France failed to honour the contract with Australia. Macron is a lying brat, he should explain why the French have failed to deliver when all they were doing is modifying an existing design from nuclear propulsion to diesel-electric propulsion. After five years and 2.5 billion dollars they did not even finish the design let alone start building the first sub in France as specified by the contract, nor did they start building a shipyard in Adelaide as specified by the contract. Why Australian media is spinning this issue with the French as Australia's fault when the evidence is there for all to see says everything about the Australian media. Whether you love him or hate him, Morrison pull the plug on a scam, a scam that cost Australia 2.5 billion dollars and was only going to get worse, for a submarine that belongs back in the 20th century and does not meet Australia's defence needs in the 21st Century.

  42. Before Euromaidan, Russia successfully used political and economic leverage to dissuade Ukraine from signing the E.U. deal. In the months prior to the Vilnius summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin engaged in a trade war with Kyiv, blocking nearly all imports from Ukraine and cutting energy supplies to the country. In turn, this reduced Ukrainian exports by 25 percent and shrank the economy by 1.5 percent. Ukraine Constitution 1991, disallows foreign military bases after 2017. According to former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, Ukraine's constitution forbids the country from hosting foreign military bases after 2017. Yanukovych breached the Ukraine Constitution 1991, Article 17. After 2017, Ukraine's constitution is incompatible with foreign military bases hosting either NATO or CSTO. In 2018, President Petro Poroshenko's constitution amendment allowed temporary foreign military bases. If Yanukovych didn't sign the military base rental extension, Russia would be kicked out of Crimea.

  54.  @ovaughan3836  The U.S. position on Taiwan’s international status is “undetermined,” in accordance with the outcome of the 1951-52 San Francisco Peace Treaty. In that treaty, Japan had formally ceded sovereignty over the island, but it was not decided to whom. Most countries at the 1951 Peace Conference argued that Taiwan’s status needed to be determined in due time, in accordance with the principle of self-determination enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations. Post-WW2, Taiwan and the Pescadores islands are not handed to China, and KMT is a foreign government in exile under the American occupation of Japanese Taiwan islands. In Taiwan, the KMT government was politically defeated by partly aboriginal Taiwanese Tsai Ing-wen Democratic Progressive Party. On the eve of the 1894 Sino-Japanese War, about 45 percent of the island was administered under the Manchus Qing administration (Imperial China) while the remaining was populated by Taiwanese aborigines. Imperialist Manchus Qing's Imperial China didn't fully control Taiwan.

"The current Russian threats look quite strange, when we know that, even without the present security situation, they keep the weapon 100 km from Lithuania's border," the minister was quoted by the wire on Thursday. "Nuclear weapons have always been kept in Kaliningrad ... the international community, the countries in the region, are perfectly aware of this ... They use it as a threat," he was quoted.

  67. The other odd thing about this holiday is that until 1994, Australia Day was always celebrated on the last Monday of January, as close as possible to 26 January, so we could all have a long weekend, whether it was 26 January or not! But the government of Paul Keating changed it so that as of 1994, Australia Day was celebrated on the actual day of 26 January with a public holiday no matter what day it fell on as it was deemed a significant enough date in this nation’s history that we should all commemorate it on the day, even if it fell on a weekend as it does this year. Blame Paul Keating and the Australian Labor party for the mess. Many leftists protested for BLM when police departments are run by Democrats while being pro-Democrat voters.

  92. From http://www.warisboring.com/2009/02/10/russian-super-fighter-not-so-scary/ Pierre Sprey comments on Flankers 1. The Su-30MK is simply another modification of the Su-27, a not-very-high-performing Russian imitation of our F-15 that had its prototype flight in 1977. The new version is significantly heavier and has poorer dogfight acceleration and turn than the original, mainly because of all the weighty and draggy gadgetry (e.g., canards, vectored thrust nozzles) added to allow these spectacular maneuvers. 2. The spectacular maneuvers … are purely and simply airshow tricks, intended to wow the gullible. Not one of these maneuvers has any application to combat, because they can only be performed at speeds well under 150 knots. At that speed in a dogfight against any competent pilot, your life expectancy is measured in seconds. 3. My guess is that there are no more than six pilots in all of Russia that can actually fly these maneuvers — and that they have been in training for years in order to trot out these tricks at international airshows. 4. Executing these wonderful tricks at the Paris airshow with these Olympic-athlete type of pilots, the Russians have crashed two of the Su-30 “Wunderwaffen,” one in 1999 and one in 2006. 5. The Russians have, in fact, palmed off versions of the Wunderwaffen to the Chinese, as well as to the Indians, Malaysians, Algerians, and the dreaded Venezuelans. Despite these triumphs of Russian salesmanship. I’m not losing much sleep over the specter of the awesome Su-30 in the hands of these superb air forces. The more of these turkeys the Russkies sell, the longer the now-ancient F-16 (designed in 1972) will reign supreme as the world’s best fighter. The same person who labeled F-35 being a turkey also labeled SU-30MK a turkey. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4DWX-R8ME8&index=4&list=PLG8j-n4MjuQAg6jQHX2dVOFYWuaqr5NKD F-35AvsF-22vsEF-2000 TURN

After Australia had spent 2.5 billion dollars for no tangible results.

Cost overruns, failure to deliver contractual obligations on time, hostility from the French whenever Australia tried to work out these issues with the French. 2.5 billion dollars and no finished design after five years. That is a cost overrun and all the French lies and tantrums don't change the facts. France failed to honour the contract with Australia. Macron is a lying brat, he should explain why the French have failed to deliver when all they were doing is modifying an existing design from nuclear propulsion to diesel-electric propulsion.

Whether you love him or hate him, Morrison pull the plug on a scam, a scam that cost Australia 2.5 billion dollars and was only going to get worse, for a submarine that belongs back in the 20th century and does not meet Australia's defence needs in the 21st Century. ----- The Australian’s Editor at Large Paul Kelly is wrong.

  110. According to CSIS, The United States has not published figures about its Javelin inventory , so this must be deduced. According to the Army budget books, total production has been 37,739 since production began in 1994. Every year, U.S. forces use some missiles for training and testing. Thus, there may be 20,000 to 25,000 remaining in the stockpiles. These 7,000 systems represent about one-third of the U.S. total inventory. The United States has been buying Javelins at the rate of about 1,000 a year. The maximum production rate is 6,480 a year, though it would likely take a year or more to reach that level. The delivery time is 32 months; that is, once an order is placed, it will take 32 months before a missile is delivered. ------

Australia does more than its share of the heavy lifting for the global sequestration of carbon dioxide. Since Australia has a small population for the given land mass, Australia sequesters some five times as much carbon dioxide as it emits.

British Empire's Imperial Preference trading system (ECC style trade pact) is largely dismantled as the price for US supporting UK's war against Germany. British Dominions such as Canada, Australia, Singapore and New Zealand has switch to US's sphere of influence during WW2. Canada, Australia, Singapore and New Zealand switched to dollar based currencies after WW2. There are other reasons for British Empire's disintegration e.g. lack of Federation federal structure with UK's bias towards London centralized government.

"Chinese funds and engineers are mobilised to build infrastructure outside China, as part of a partnership that was meant to be win-win: this is the very definition of the rationale of the Silk Road," said Jean-François Dufour, economist and director of DCA China-Analysis. The Chinese president integrated the Sri Lankan project into his Silk Road initiative in 2013. But in 2015, financial clouds began gathering over the future of Hambantota’s port, which cost $1.1 billion. Sri Lanka was crumbling under the debt, and was unable to repay the more than $8 billion in loans it had taken from China for several infrastructure projects in the country. Furious, Beijing turned up the heat and threatened to cut off financial support to the island nation if it didn’t quickly find a solution. In December, 2017, after two years of negotiations, Colombo finally agreed to turn over the port to China for 99 years in exchange for the cancellation of its debt.

  138. For Transnistria, the region's origins can be traced to the Moldavian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, which was formed in 1924 within the Ukrainian SSR. During World War II, the Soviet Union took parts of the Moldavian ASSR, which was dissolved, and of the Kingdom of Romania's Bessarabia to form the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic in 1940. The Moldavian SSR, organised by a decision of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR on 2 August 1940, was formed out of a part of Bessarabia (taken from Romania on 28 June, after the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact) and out of a part of the Moldavian ASSR roughly equivalent to present-day Transnistria. Transnistria was a product of NAZI-Germany's and USSR's Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact. Just on a sidenote: Europeans including Russians do have a common fate: two World Wars. It's a byproduct of the UK and Poland defense agreement that only specified Nazi Germany and it watered down USSR's Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact component

Hamas attacks on Israel and pro-Hamas protests in non-Muslim countries have fueled the pushback.

"On 10 March 2011, France was the first country in the world to recognise the National Transitional Council as the legitimate government of Libya". United Nations Security Council Resolution 1973 was adopted by the United Nations Security Council on 17 March 2011 in response to the First Libyan Civil War. The Security Council resolution was proposed by France, Lebanon, and the United Kingdom. Muammar Gaddafi played stupid games and win stupid prizes. The US supported the France(EU)'s and UK(EU)'s, and Lebanon's United Nations Security Council Resolution 1973. NATO wasn't used until United Nations Security Council Resolution 1973 since it was vetoed by Turkey. If, however, you are referring to the NATO intervention in Libya, that was NATO agreeing to enforce a United Nations Security Council Resolution.

Russia continued its alliance with Cuba and even hosted military bases there BEFORE and AFTER the Cuban crisis. The Cuban crisis was about nuclear weapons! Ukraine doesn't have nuclear weapons because it handed them over to Russia back in the 90's for an agreement with Russia... that agreement which Russia signed was a promise to NEVER invade Ukraine.

One aspect concerns risk to foreign lenders, where according to the Bank for International Settlements, international banks had outstanding loans of $224 billion to Turkish borrowers, including $83 billion from banks in Spain, $35 billion from banks in France, $18 billion from banks in Italy, $17 billion each from banks in the United States and in the United Kingdom, and $13 billion from banks in Germany.[125][126] Another aspect concerns the situation of other emerging economies with high levels of debt denominated in USD or EUR, with respect to which Turkey may either be considered "a canary in the coalmine" or even by its crisis and the bad handling thereof increase international investors' retreat for increased perception of risk in such countries.

  267.  @Pats4lyfe  1. Greece is an EU member. 2.

Greece has an allance with Israel, hence F-35I would come into this picture. 5. There's Australian interest with Israeli gas i.e. Australia's largest natural gas and oil company, Woodside Petroleum. https://www.timesofisrael.com/top-australian-company-buys-into-israeli-natural-gas/ Australia has a squadron of F-35A Block 3F, 24 F/A-18F Block 2 Super Hornets, 11 EA-18 and 71 F/A-18A MLU (similar to F-16C Block 52+). 6. There's US interest with Cyprus gas i.e. ExxonMobile https://www.cnbc.com/2019/02/28/exxonmobil-makes-big-natural-gas-discovery-off-the-coast-of-cyprus.html It's not advisable to get in the way US/EU gas interest. https://eur-lex.europa.eu/summary/glossary/mutual_defence.html The Treaty of Lisbon strengthens the solidarity between EU countries in dealing with external threats by introducing a mutual defence clause (Article 42(7) of the Treaty on European Union). This clause provides that if an EU country is the victim of armed aggression on its territory, the other EU countries have an obligation to aid and assist it by all the means in their power, in accordance with Article 51 of the United Nations Charter. Article 43(1) The tasks referred to in Article 42(1), in the course of which the Union may use civilian and military means, shall include joint disarmament operations, humanitarian and rescue tasks, military advice and assistance tasks, conflict prevention and peace-keeping tasks, tasks of combat forces in crisis management, including peace-making and post-conflict stabilisation. All these tasks may contribute to the fight against terrorism, including by supporting third countries in combating terrorism in their territories The Treaty of Lisbon lays the ground work for European Army. EU is more poltical union since it has judicial and monetary union, hence it's proto-United States of Europe. NATO agreement does not apply when there's conflicts between NATO members, hence EU's Article 42(7) would be used. EU supported Australia's geopolitics in Antarctica against Russia/China US supported New Zealand's geopolitics in Antarctica against Russia/China The gas pipeline from Israel, Greek Cypriot and Greece are attracting US, EU and Australia.

  270.  @raymondutter2616  For Crimea, Before Crimean Khanate, it was the Crimean Goth which is Germanic. The Ostrogoths had a huge kingdom north of the Black Sea in the 4th century, which the Huns overwhelmed in the time of the Gothic king Ermanaric. The Ostrogoths became vassals of the Huns until the death of Attila when they revolted and regained independence. The Crimean Goths had converted from Arian to Chalcedonian Christianity by the 6th century. The Principality of Theodoro continued until 1475 when it was finally incorporated in the Khanate of Crimea and the Ottoman Empire. This is generally considered to be the fall of the Crimean Goths and their eventual extinction. Crimean Gothic was an East Germanic language spoken by the Crimean Goths. The territory of Crimea was controlled by the Crimean Khanate and was annexed by the Russian Empire on 19 April 1783. Crimea was incorporated into the Empire as the Taurida Oblast. Later that year, the Ottoman Empire signed an agreement with Russia that recognised the loss of Crimea and other territories that had been held by the Khanate. The agreement, signed on 28 December 1783, was negotiated by Russian diplomat Yakov Bulgakov. The formal treaty of transfer has been referred to as The Treaty of Constantinople (1784). By the late 19th century, Crimean Tatars continued to form a slight plurality of Crimea's still largely rural population. Crimean People's Republic = December 1917 – January 1918, Crimean Tatar government Taurida Soviet Socialist Republic = 19 March – 30 April 1918, Bolshevik government Ukrainian People's Republic = May–June 1918 First Crimean Regional Government = 25 June – 25 November 1918, German puppet state under Lipka Tatar General Maciej (Suleyman) Sulkiewicz Second Crimean Regional Government = November 1918 – April 1919, Anti-Bolshevik government under Crimean Karaite former Kadet member Solomon Krym Crimean Socialist Soviet Republic = 2 April – June 1919, Bolshevik government South Russian Government = February 1920 – April 1920 Government of South Russia = 16 August – 16 November 1920 Bolshevik Revolutionary Committee government = November 1920 – 18 October 1921. Almost immediately after retaking of Crimea from Axis forces, in May 1944, the USSR State Defense Committee ordered the deportation of all of the Crimean Tatars from Crimea. The deportees were transported in trains and boxcars to Central Asia, primarily to Uzbekistan. The Crimean Tatars lost 18 to 46 percent of their population as a result of the deportations.

  271. Quoting Out Of The Shadows: RNLAF experiences with the F-35A - Combat Aircraft Magazine May 2018 specifically against David Axe's leaked Y2015 report. Knight divulged a little more information about flying basic fighter manoeuvres (BFM) in an F-35. 'When our envelope was cleared to practise BFM we got the opportunity to fight some fourth-generation fighters. Remember, back the rumors were that the F-35 was a pig. The first time the opponents showed up [in the training area] they had wing tanks along with a bunch of missiles. I guess they figured that being in a dirty configuration wouldn't really matter and that they would still easily outmanoeuvre us. By the end of the week, though, they had dropped their wing tanks, transitioned to a single centerline fuel tank and were still doing everything they could not to get gunned by us. A week later they stripped the jets clean of all external stores, which made the BFM fights interesting, to say the least ---- 1. Lightest empty weight F-16A MLU air-superiority model needs to be clean (no weapons, no external tanks) to make visual range dogfight interesting against combat loaded F-35A Block 3F. 2.

Agreement between 'RS' and Bosnian Government to a ceasefire in Sarajevo, negotiated by Lieutenant-General Sir Michael Rose, then Commander of UN forces in Bosnia. UN Security Council through UNSCR 836 of 4 June 1994 authorizes the use of air power to defend the safe areas created by UN Security Council resolution 824 of 6 May 1993. >Libya NATO STOPPED the bloody civil war in Libya. Putin STARTED the bloody war in Ukraine. On 16 August 2003, Libya formally admitted responsibility for Pan Am Flight 103 (Lockabie bombing) in a letter presented to the president of the United Nations Security Council. "On 10 March 2011, France was the first country in the world to recognise the National Transitional Council as the legitimate government of Libya". United Nations Security Council Resolution 1973 was adopted by the United Nations Security Council on 17 March 2011 in response to the First Libyan Civil War. The Security Council resolution was proposed by France, Lebanon, and the United Kingdom. Muammar Gaddafi played stupid games and win stupid prizes. The US supported France(EU)'s and UK(EU)'s, and Lebanon's United Nations Security Council Resolution 1973. NATO wasn't used until United Nations Security Council Resolution 1973 since it was vetoed by Turkey. >Iraq Facts: Iraq started the hot war against Kuwait. Iraq attempted to annex Kuwait. If a country attempted to annex another country, the invading country that attempted to enlarge its territory (expansionist nationalism) should be prepared to be annexed by another country. Don't cry to me about moral superiority when Iraq doesn't have this position in the first place! If you can't handle the heat, don't start a hot war in the 1st place.

  304.  @keepingcalm6469  US has its own interest. The United States remained Europe’s top supplier of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in the first 3 months of 2021 as it continued to gain market share at the expense of Russia and Qatar, Europe’s second- and third-largest sources of LNG, according to the EU Commission’s latest European Gas Market Report. The US supplied 24% (4.2 Bcm) of the EU’s overall LNG imports (17 Bcm in Q1 2021); Russia placed second at 21% (3.7 Bcm); and Qatar was third at 18% (3.1 Bcm), the EU Commission reported in early July. When compared to Q4 2020, the US picked up 2% market share from January to March this year, while Russia bested Qatar to become Europe’s second-largest LNG supplier. Nigeria placed fourth, followed by Algeria and Trinidad and Tobago. A review of EU Commission reports dating back to 2019 reveals a steady quarter-to-quarter decline in Europe’s LNG purchases while it also documents the growing rivalry between the US and Russia, Qatar’s fall from dominance, and the emergence of the US as Europe’s top LNG supplier starting Q4 2019. The EU is the world’s third-largest LNG market, though its imports amounted to only about half that of Japan (36 Bcm) and China (32 Bcm) in Q1 2021. European gas consumption rose 7.6% to 132 Bcm in Q1 based on a year-on-year comparison. The commission noted that demand for gas as fuel to generate electricity rose 3.4%, also year-on-year (increasing by 4.9 TWh.) In terms of gas deliveries overall, including pipeline gas, Russia remained the leading gas supplier to Europe (45% of all imports) with the Nord Stream 1 pipeline across the Baltic Sea as its most important supply route.

  333.  @spideken123  Laguna Copperplate Inscription. Prior to the European colonial era, South East Asia was under the Indosphere of greater India, where numerous Indianized principalities and empires flourished for several centuries in what are now Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, Cambodia, and Vietnam. The influence of Indian culture in these areas was given the term Indianization.[4] French archaeologist George Coedes defined it as the expansion of an organized culture that was framed upon Indian originations of royalty, Hinduism and Buddhism, and the Sanskrit dialect.[5] This can be seen in the Indianization of Southeast Asia, the spread of Hinduism, and the transmission of Buddhism. The Indian diaspora, both ancient (PIO) and current (NRI), played an ongoing key role as professionals, traders, priests, and warriors.[6][7][8] Indian honorifics also influenced the Malay, Thai, Filipino and Indonesian honorifics.[9] The pre-colonial native Filipino script called Baybayin, known in Visayan as badlit , as kur-itan/kurditan in Ilocano and as kulitan in Kapampangan, was itself derived from the Brahmic scripts of India. Alphabet scripts from Laguna Copperplate Inscription are NOT Chinese. The Philippines is NOT adopted Chinese scripts like Japan's Kanji transmission.

Restrictive measures implemented by the EU also concern the financial and transport sector as well as the financing of certain enterprises and infrastructure projects in Syria. In addition to this, funds and economic resources of persons and entities supporting and/or benefiting from the Syrian regime have also been frozen.

  358. @Nichòlas Nicholas Wrong narrative. Specifically, On 7 May 1999, between the time of 11:30 and 11:40, fighter jets of the Royal Netherlands Air Force dropped two containers of cluster bombs over Niš, directed at Niš Airport, located at the end of the city. The bombs impacted near the city center, which is at least 3km from the airport, their presumed target. The bombs were scattered from the two containers and were carried by the wind and then fell in three locations in the central part of the city: 1. The Pathology building next to the Medical Center of Niš in the south of the city, 2. Next to the building of "Banovina" including the main market, bus station next to the Niš Fortress and "12th February" Health Centre 3. Parking of "Niš Express" near the Nišava River. After the incident, the Royal Netherlands Air Force stopped using cluster bombs in the campaign. At fault are the Royal Netherlands Air Force and their lossy targeting skills. Niš city is located in Serbia, NOT Kosovo.

Unlike the Black Sea with NATO defense treaty allies, Russia has no defense treaty allies around Australia. In 2022, Russia did a similar activity near non-NATO member Ireland's waters. Russia was meddling in Australia's Antarctica interest that caused Australia to enlist EU support. Russia was meddling in New Zealand's Antarctica interest that caused New Zealand to enlist US support. ---- Russia went against Australia's interest in the 2014 (G20 meeting) and 2019 (AUS-NZ's Antarctic marine park plan), and are you expecting continued friendly relations between Australia and Russia?

Knight divulged a little more information about flying basic fighter manoeuvres (BFM) in an F-35. 'When our envelope was cleared to practise BFM we got the opportunity to fight some fourth-generation fighters. Remember, back the rumors were that the F-35 was a pig. The first time the opponents showed up [in the training area] they had wing tanks along with a bunch of missiles. I guess they figured that being in a dirty configuration wouldn't really matter and that they would still easily outmanoeuvre us. By the end of the week, though, they had dropped their wing tanks, transitioned to a single centerline fuel tank and were still doing everything they could not to get gunned by us. A week later they stripped the jets clean of all external stores, which made the BFM fights interesting, to say the least ---- 1. Lightest empty weight F-16A MLU air-superiority model needs to be clean (no weapons, no external tanks) to make visual range dogfight interesting against combat-loaded F-35A Block 3F. 2.

  400.  @dipthongthathongthongthong9691  Chile example, USSR has supported its Cuban proxy that in turn supported Marxist Salvador Allende. You're a hypocrite. Marxist Salvador Allende clashed with the right-wing parties that controlled Congress and with the judiciary. On 11 September 1973, the military moved to oust Allende in a coup d'état. Marxist Salvador Allende's presidential branch effectively declared war on the judiciary and right-wing majority governed Congress branches. During the 1970 Chilean presidential election, both the United States and the Soviet Union poured money into this election through their intelligence agencies and other sources. 💰KGB money was more precisely targeted. Allende made a personal request for Soviet money through his personal contact, KGB officer Svyatoslav Kuznetsov, who urgently came to Chile from Mexico City to help Allende. The original allocation of money for these elections through the KGB was $400,000, and an additional personal subsidy of $50,000 directly to Allende.[8] It is believed that help from KGB was a decisive factor, because Allende won by a narrow margin of 39,000 votes of a total of the 3 million cast. After the elections, the KGB director Yuri Andropov obtained permission for additional money and other resources from the Central Committee of the CPSU to ensure Allende victory in Congress. In his request on 24 October, he stated that KGB "will carry out measures designed to promote the consolidation of Allende's victory and his election to the post of President of the country".[8] You're a hypocrite.

  401. After the Kosovo war... From NYTimes Date: Dec. 11, 2012 Asked for comment, former officials involved said their business dealings with the Kosovo government would benefit Kosovars by building a more prosperous economy. “We’re going to employ people, provide training, create exports and help the country grow and develop as a democracy,” said General Clark, who is chairman of Envidity, a Canadian energy company seeking to explore Kosovo’s lignite coal deposits and produce synthetic fuel. ... Lawrence Lessig, a law professor and director of the Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics at Harvard, said the appearance of “cashing in” risked undermining the prestige of the United States by clouding the humanitarian nature of the 1999 intervention, which was aimed at ending Serbian atrocities against Kosovars. ... General Clark said it was “insulting” to suggest that there could be any conflict between private profit-making and his past responsibilities. “My business is aboveboard, transparent and helps the Kosovar people,” he said. “We are going to use a resource that had no value to the Kosovo people and bring in hundreds of millions of dollars of investment.”

  431.  @kl_guy6969  In the mid-2000s, Colombo (the commercial capital of Sri Lanka) agreed to let Beijing build a new port from scratch in the town of Hambantota, in the south of the island. It wasn’t yet thought of as part of a new Silk Road -- that programme was conceptualizsed by Xi Jinping in 2012 -- but all the ingredients were there. "Chinese funds and engineers are mobilised to build infrastructure outside China, as part of a partnership that was meant to be win-win: this is the very definition of the rationale of the Silk Road," said Jean-François Dufour, economist and director of DCA China-Analysis. The Chinese president integrated the Sri Lankan project into his Silk Road initiative in 2013. But in 2015, financial clouds began gathering over the future of Hambantota’s port, which cost $1.1 billion. Sri Lanka was crumbling under the debt, and was unable to repay the more than $8 billion in loans it had taken from China for several infrastructure projects in the country. Furious, Beijing turned up the heat and threatened to cut off financial support to the island nation if it didn’t quickly find a solution. In December, 2017, after two years of negotiations, Colombo finally agreed to turn over the port to China for 99 years in exchange for the cancellation of its debt. The concession was humiliating for Sri Lanka, while "the opponents of China, like India, painted the entire operation as a deliberate plan to acquire strategic positions in the region," Dufour said. China was suspected of intentionally strangling Colombo with loans at a 6 percent interest rate, which was much higher than the other lenders - such as the World Bank – from which Colombo had previously borrowed.

  433.  @claudiopereira9900  Timeline of Yugoslav breakup 22 January 1990: Slovenian, Croatian and Macedonian delegates abandon the last Congress of the Communist League of Yugoslavia. The Communist Party of Yugoslavia is dissolved. 1 July 1990: The Parliament of Slovenia votes to declare independence (but independence is not proclaimed). 1 October 1990: George Bush, in a meeting with the Yugoslav president of the Presidency, gives full support to Yugoslavia. 21 February 1991: After receiving news of the Slovenian parliament's decision to start legal actions for independence and for the possible creation of new union of independent states, the Croatian parliament makes a similar decision. 25 September 1991: Macedonia declares independence. 8 October 1991: Croatia declares independence from Yugoslavia. 2 December 1991: President of Macedonia sends an official letter to the presidents of the foreign governments asking for recognition of the independence of Macedonia. Immediately after that Greece starts military provocations on the Macedonian-Greece border. 11 December 1991: Ukraine recognizes Croatia. ... 19 December 1991: Germany announces that it will recognize Croatia on January 15, 1992, with or without the rest of the European Community. 23 December 1991: Germany becomes the first major power to recognize Croatia and Slovenia as independent states 15 January 1992: The European Community recognizes Slovenia and Croatia. 21 February 1992: United Nations Security Council Resolution 743 sets up a Protection Force (UNPROFOR) mandated to create three IJN Protected Areas (UNPAs) in Croatia. ----- GERMANY has pushed NATO and the EU to smash Yugoslavia when Germany failed to smash Serbia in WW1 and WW2 goals. Your narrative is NOT based on facts! Your narrative is based on separating Germany from the US so that Russia can take on Germany, again. Without NATO, Germany would have done it alone and we would have another WW1 trigger i.e. Russia would have declared war against Germany as in WWI. Russia knows when North America's raw material security guarantees are decoupled from mainland Europe, it will enable Russia to win any war of attrition against Germany! Germany used NATO with North America's raw material security guarantees to further its own interest when it failed in WW1's goals. NATO was used to check Russia and avoid the WW1 trigger.

  500.  @zharkoo  The Chile example, USSR supported its Cuban proxy which in turn supported Marxist Salvador Allende. Marxist Salvador Allende clashed with the right-wing parties that controlled Congress and with the judiciary. On 11 September 1973, the military moved to oust Allende in a coup d'état. Marxist Salvador Allende's presidential branch effectively declared war on the judiciary and right-wing majority-governed Congress branches. During the 1970 Chilean presidential election, both the United States and the Soviet Union poured money into this election through their intelligence agencies and other sources. 💰KGB money was more precisely targeted. Allende made a personal request for Soviet money through his personal contact, KGB officer Svyatoslav Kuznetsov, who urgently came to Chile from Mexico City to help Allende. The original allocation of money for these elections through the KGB was $400,000, and an additional personal subsidy of $50,000 directly to Allende.[8] It is believed that help from KGB was a decisive factor, because Allende won by a narrow margin of 39,000 votes of a total of the 3 million cast. After the elections, the KGB director Yuri Andropov obtained permission for additional money and other resources from the Central Committee of the CPSU to ensure Allende victory in Congress. In his request on 24 October, he stated that KGB "will carry out measures designed to promote the consolidation of Allende's victory and his election to the post of President of the country". In your argument's summary, the USSR-supported regime change intervention is okay while the US intervention is bad. Your argument is hypocritical. USSR's proxy attempted to remove Chile's check-and-balance Congress system. USSR's proxy attempted to concentrate political power into a single entity (individual and political party). The US has no problems with the Swedish-style nanny market led-socialism that is practiced in the CANZUK and Nordic groups. Look in the mirror.

  536. @The Dark Forest "fly near electrical storms because that messes with its electronic warfare systems" That's a false narrative i.e. it's F-35’s Onboard Inert Gas Generation System, or OBIGGS issue with fuel tanks. Air Force Times Date: FEB 3, 2022 Reported today that F-35 Joint Program Office spokesperson Laura Seal said the first F-35A to receive the repair could have it by July. Lockheed Martin has been installing an updated version of OBIGGS onto F-35As since November 2020, but crews will need to install the new system on older aircraft that have already been delivered. It’s unknown if the other variants currently in production have received the updated OBIGGS. The fix is for the F-35’s Onboard Inert Gas Generation System, or OBIGGS. This system is designed to inject nitrogen-enriched air into the F-35’s fuel system in order to reduce the potential buildup of highly flammable vapors. If the interior of the aircraft’s main fuel tank and associated fuel lines aren’t kept “inert” by the OBIGGS system, a lightning strike can ignite these flammable gasses and potentially cause an explosion.

  550. Before Euromaidan, Russia has successfully used political and economic leverage to dissuade Ukraine from signing the E.U. deal. In the months prior to the Vilnius summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin engaged in a trade war with Kyiv, blocking nearly all imports from Ukraine and cutting energy supplies to the country. In turn, this reduced Ukrainian exports by 25 percent and shrank the economy by 1.5 percent. Ukraine Constitution 1991, Article 17, disallows foreign military bases after 2017. According to former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, Ukraine's constitution forbids the country from hosting foreign military bases after 2017. Yanukovych breached the Ukraine Constitution 1991, Article 17. After 2017, Ukraine's constitution is incompatible with foreign military bases hosting either NATO or CSTO. In 2018, President Petro Poroshenko's constitution amendment allowed temporary foreign military bases. If Yanukovych didn't sign the military base rental extension, Russia would be kicked out of Crimea. Russia's narrative is wrong.

  565.  @ghostdog4330  Myth 1: NATO promised Russia it would not expand after the Cold War Fact: Such an agreement was never made. NATO’s door has been open to new members since it was founded in 1949 – and that has never changed. This “Open Door Policy” is enshrined in Article 10 of NATO’s founding treaty, which says “any other European State in a position to further the principles of this Treaty and to contribute to the security of the North Atlantic” can apply for membership. Decisions on membership are taken by consensus among all Allies. No treaty signed by the United States, Europe and Russia included provisions on NATO membership. The idea of NATO expansion beyond a united Germany was not on the agenda in 1989, particularly as the Warsaw Pact still existed. This was confirmed by Mikhail Gorbachev in an interview in 2014: "The topic of 'NATO expansion' was not discussed at all, and it wasn't brought up in those years. I say this with full responsibility. Not a single Eastern European country raised the issue, not even after the Warsaw Pact ceased to exist in 1991. Western leaders didn't bring it up, either." Declassified White House transcripts also reveal that, in 1997, Bill Clinton consistently refused Boris Yeltsin's offer of a 'gentlemen's agreement' that no former Soviet Republics would enter NATO: "I can't make commitments on behalf of NATO, and I'm not going to be in the position myself of vetoing NATO expansion with respect to any country, much less letting you or anyone else do so…NATO operates by consensus."

  572.  @MrZnarffy  >because stealth is obsolete. FALSE, lower RCS is an advantage. Gripen C has lower RCS when compared to China's SU-27SK and was noted by CCP as an advantage. Thailand's Gripen C beats China's SU-27SK. China's J10C with AESA radar and lower RCS (when compared to SU-27SK) beats Thailand's Gripen C (avionics similar to F-16C Block 40s to Block 50s). Stealth is just extremely low RCS. The minimum fighter to combat China's J-10C with AESA radar is F-16V Block 70/72 or F16E Block 60 (with AESA radar) or Gripen E (with AESA radar). F-16C Block 30s started to include Radar Absorbing Material (RAM) and USAF F-16CJ or F-16CM has Have Glass V ("5th gen") RAM which is the latest improvement from the JSF program. Radar Absorbing Materials improves over time, hence Have Glass V with "5th gen" version. Have Glass V RAM can be applied on the F-15EX, but the US doesn't export high-speed Radar Absorbing Material (RAM). Stealth also enhances electronics warfare functions since the host aircraft's baseline RCS is low. F-35 did NOT skip EuroFighter's gen 4.5 era electronics warfare features. F-35's electronics warfare feature is supplied by UK's BAE.

  577. ​ @raymondutter2616  1. Your speculation about Poland demanding its lands back from Ukraine runs contrary to Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum. The US and UK are enforcing Budapest Memorandum's respect for Ukraine's territorial integrity clause against Russia. France and China signed a watered-down Budapest Memorandum. The Polish government supports US/UK's Budapest Memorandum's respect for Ukraine's territorial integrity clause enforcement as foreign policy sync with its primary security guarantor i.e. the US. 2. Poland's external borders are governed by European Union's customs union rules. This is why the UK executed its exit from the EU and the UK joined the CPTPP alternative. Under Biden, the US rejected UK's membership attempts with USMCA. US-UK "special relationship" has limits. Too bad, Russia didn't offer the Eurasian Economic Union alternative when the UK was shunned by Biden's US. UK joining CPTPP is a win for CPTPP.

The US will undo Roman Empire (Italy)'s Romance and Germanic language divide. ---- Norway has +90% English speaking. The Netherlands has 90% English speaking. Sweden has 89% English speaking. Denmark has 86% English speaking. Finland has 70% English speaking. Germany has 56% English speaking and it's mostly in the younger generation. Belgium has 55% English speaking and it's mostly in the younger generation. Ukraine has 50% English speaking while Russian speaking is around 46%. LOL Poland has 49% English speaking and it's mostly in the younger generation. Austria has 40% English speaking and it's mostly in the younger generation. France has 39% English speaking and it's mostly in the younger generation. Franks were Germanic tribes that were influenced by Latin Roman Empire. Italy has 13% English speaking and it's mostly in the younger generation. It's relatively easy for Germanic-speaking countries to adopt English due to structural similarities. The European Union is slowly turning into the United States of Europe i.e. there are English-Germanic speaking majority countries within the EU that can form into another United States or Australian-style federation. Nordics has combined its airforce services into a single command. The Nordics + Netherlands population has 44 million population and when combined with Germany's 80 million population, it's 124 million. The Russian Federation has about 144 million population.

Respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders. 2. Refrain from the threat or the use of force against Ukraine. 3. Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine to influence their politics. 4. Seek immediate Security Council action to provide assistance to Ukraine if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used". 5. Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against Ukraine. 6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments. China and France gave somewhat weaker individual assurances in separate documents. Better learn history when UK's entry into WW1 was via defense treaty with Belgium that was invoked when Germany invaded Belgium. US and UK are fulfilling points 4 and 6 in accordance with Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum. Budapest Memorandum's security assurances are weaker than NATO Article V.

The judges convicted Frans van Anraat, 63, a Dutch businessman, of complicity in war crimes because they said he had known that the materials he sold to Iraq during the rule of former president Saddam Hussein could be used to make lethal poison gas.

  621. Date: Jan. 7, 2010 Yanukovych: Ukraine will remain a neutral state. "It’s certain that Ukraine was and will be non-aligned state… We strive neither to join NATO nor the [CIS]CSTO [Collective Security Treaty Organization]. We’ll maintain a neutral status," Yanukovych said in an interview with the Komsomolskaya Pravda in Ukraine newspaper. -------- The trigger for Euromaidan was Yanukovych initiated non-neutrality policies such as joining a trade block instead of executing Switzerland-style neutrality. UK leaving the EU and joining CPTPP proves freedom of association. Before Euromaidan, Russia, however, has successfully used political and economic leverage to dissuade Ukraine from signing the E.U. deal. In the months prior to the Vilnius summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin engaged in a trade war with Kiev, blocking nearly all imports from Ukraine and cutting energy supplies to the country. In turn, this reduced Ukrainian exports by 25 percent and shrank the economy by 1.5 percent. Some trade background for the context From Tradebarrier Index (lower score = less trade barriers) New Zealand's tariff score is 2.92 Australia's tariff score is 3.03 UK's tariff score is 3.94 (after Brexit) Japan's tariff score is 4.05 US's tariff score is 4.54 Germany's tariff score is 4.88 EU's tariff score is 4.88 Russia's tariff score is 6.16 <-------- China's tariff score is 6.8 <------ Russia wants to maintain its higher trade protectionist policies. On a side note, Trump is correct on the EU's higher trade protection when compared to the US.

Unlike the Black Sea with NATO defense treaty allies, Russia has no defense treaty allies around Australia. In 2022, Russia did a similar activity near non-NATO member Ireland's waters. Russia was meddling in Australia's Antarctica interest that caused Australia to enlist EU support. Russia was meddling in New Zealand's Antarctica interest that caused New Zealand to enlist US support. ---- Russia went against Australia's interest in the 2014 (G20 meeting) and 2019 (AUS-NZ's Antarctic marine park plan), and are you expecting continued friendly relations between Australia and Russia? Russia doesn't respect Australia's southern sphere of influence why should Australia respect Russia's sphere of influence? Putin is the best salesman for NATO.

  646. A French lawmaker raised questions in the country’s parliament in June about Australian concerns over delays, and whether Australia might be considering submarine alternatives, French government records show. Proving the French were aware of the cost overruns and the failure to complete the design on time had created issues with the Australians. After Australia had spent 2.5 billion dollars for no tangible results. The French asked for an extension nearly two years ago which would extend the design completion date from July 2022 to September 2023. Cost overruns, failure to deliver contractual obligations on time, hostility from the French whenever Australia tried to work out these issues with the French. 2.5 billion dollars and no finished design after five years. That is a cost overrun and all the French lies and tantrums don't change the facts. France failed to honour the contract with Australia. Macron is a lying brat, he should explain why the French have failed to deliver when all they were doing is modifying an existing design from nuclear propulsion to diesel-electric propulsion. After five years and 2.5 billion dollars they did not even finish the design let alone start building the first sub in France as specified by the contract, nor did they start building a shipyard in Adelaide as specified by the contract. Why Australian media is spinning this issue with the French as Australia's fault when the evidence is there for all to see says everything about the Australian media. Whether you love him or hate him, Morrison pull the plug on a scam, a scam that cost Australia 2.5 billion dollars and was only going to get worse, for a submarine that belongs back in the 20th century and does not meet Australia's defence needs in the 21st Century.

There are a total of 11 British WW2 Aircraft carriers (1939 to 1945) vs USN (14 May 1945)'s 28 fleet carriers and 71 escort carriers. UK's total carrier count for WW2 is similar Imperial Japan's total WW2 aircraft carrier count. In terms of amount of steel production and available raw materials, US out-guns the Axis powers. When Nazi Germany uses old men and young boys to defend Berlin, then there's a problem with young men resource pool. Both USA and USSR has a larger population pool for a war of attrition.

  727.  @princevelkan04  For Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum context, Russia, the US and the UK confirmed their Ukraine becoming parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and effectively abandoning their nuclear arsenal to Russia and that they would: 1. Respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders. 2. Refrain from the threat or the use of force against Ukraine. 3. Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine to influence their politics. 4. Seek immediate Security Council action to provide assistance to Ukraine if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used". 5. Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against Ukraine. 6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments. China and France gave somewhat weaker individual assurances in separate documents. US and UK are fulfilling points 4 and 6 in accordance with Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum. Budapest Memorandum's security assurances are weaker than NATO's Article V and EU's Article 42.7. Are you arguing for the US to abandon the Budapest Memorandum? ----- Date: Jan. 7, 2010 Yanukovych: Ukraine will remain a neutral state. "It’s certain that Ukraine was and will be non-aligned state… We strive neither to join NATO nor the [CIS]CSTO [Collective Security Treaty Organization]. We’ll maintain a neutral status," Yanukovych said in an interview with the Komsomolskaya Pravda in Ukraine newspaper. -------- The trigger for Euromaidan was Yanukovych initiated non-neutrality policies such as joining a trade block instead of executing Switzerland-style neutrality. Before Euromaidan, Russia, however, has successfully used political and economic leverage to dissuade Ukraine from signing the E.U. deal. In the months prior to the Vilnius summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin engaged in a trade war with Kiev, blocking nearly all imports from Ukraine and cutting energy supplies to the country. In turn, this reduced Ukrainian exports by 25 percent and shrank the economy by 1.5 percent. UK leaving the EU and joining CPTPP proves freedom of association. Some trade background for the context From Tradebarrier Index New Zealand's tariff score is 2.92 Australia's tariff score is 3.03 UK's tariff score is 3.94 (after Brexit) Japan's tariff score is 4.05 US's tariff score is 4.54 Germany's tariff score is 4.88 EU's tariff score is 4.88 Russia's tariff score is 6.16 <-------- China's tariff score is 6.8 <------ Russia wants to maintain its higher trade protectionist policies.

  785.  @michaelmanning5379  The Crimean Tatars were formed as a people in Crimea and are descendants of various peoples who lived in Crimea in different historical eras. The main ethnic groups that inhabited the Crimea at various times and took part in the formation of the Crimean Tatar people are Tauri, Scythians, Sarmatians, Alans, Greeks, Goths, Bulgars, Khazars, Pechenegs, Italians and Circassians. At the beginning of the 13th century, the Crimea, the majority of the population of which was already composed of a Turkic people — Cumans, became a part of the Golden Horde. The Crimean Tatars mostly adopted Islam in the 14th century and thereafter Crimea became one of the centers of Islamic civilization in Eastern Europe. In the same century, trends towards separatism appeared in the Crimean Ulus of the Golden Horde. De facto independence of the Crimea from the Golden Horde may be counted since the beginning of princess (khanum) Canike's, the daughter of the powerful Khan of the Golden Horde Tokhtamysh and the wife of the founder of the Nogai Horde Edigey, reign in the peninsula. During her reign she strongly supported Hacı Giray in the struggle for the Crimean throne until her death in 1437. Following the death of Сanike, the situation of Hacı Giray in Crimea weakened and he was forced to leave Crimea for Lithuania. The Crimean Tatars emerged as a nation at the time of the Crimean Khanate, an Ottoman vassal state during the 16th to 18th centuries.[50] Russian historian, doctor of history, Professor of the Russian Academy of Sciences Ilya Zaytsev writes that analysis of historical data shows that the influence of Turkey on the policy of the Crimea was not as high as it was reported in old Turkish sources and Imperial Russian ones.[51] The Turkic-speaking population of Crimea had mostly adopted Islam already in the 14th century, following the conversion of Ozbeg Khan of the Golden Horde.[52] By the time of the first Russian invasion of Crimea in 1736, the Khan's archives and libraries were famous throughout the Islamic world, and under Khan Krym-Girei the city of Aqmescit was endowed with piped water, sewerage and a theatre where Molière was performed in French, while the port of Kezlev stood comparison with Rotterdam and Bakhchysarai, the capital, was described as Europe's cleanest and greenest city

Super Crusader III was also cancelled after the defeat by F-4 Phantom II. Both Super Crusader III and F-4 Phantom II are under USN's program.

However, the F-16 has about one-third the drag of an F-4 in level flight. At angle of attack, it is about one-fifteenth We knew that we wanted low wing loading and high thrust loading.

The Palestinian Authority nominally recognizes international human rights standards, which include freedom of thought and expression, as well as freedom of association and assembly. However, these are only selectively enforced and are frequently violated by the various governing authorities. The PA does not recognize certain religious groups, for example Protestants. Religious affiliation is declared on identification papers. Further, there is no official process to gain recognition and consequently, every religious group has to seek agreements with the PA. Proselytizing is restricted and the authorities control Friday sermons,. “Blasphemy” The PA Basic Law declares Islam to be the official religion of Palestine and states that “respect and sanctity of all other heavenly religions (Judaism and Christianity) shall be maintained.” In the West Bank territories governed by the Palestinian Authority, the old Jordanian law against “defaming religion” is still in force and may result in a maximum penalty of life imprisonment. Hamas authorities in Gaza have enforced orthodox Sunni Islamic practices and conservative dress, and have regularly harassed worshippers at non-Hamas-affiliated mosques.

The territory controlled by the empire included much of modern-day northern and central Nigeria. The sultan sent out emirs to establish a suzerainty over the conquered territories and promote Islamic civilization, the emirs in turn became increasingly rich and powerful through trade and slavery. By the 1890s, the largest slave population in the world, about two million, was concentrated in the territories of the Sokoto Caliphate. The use of slave labour was extensive, especially in agriculture. In 1885, British claims to a West African sphere of influence received recognition from other European nations at the Berlin Conference. The following year, it chartered the Royal Niger Company under the leadership of Sir George Taubman Goldie. By the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the company had vastly succeeded in subjugating the independent southern kingdoms along the Niger River, the British conquered Benin in 1897, and, in the Anglo-Aro War (1901–1902), defeated other opponents. The defeat of these states opened up the Niger area to British rule. In 1900, the company's territory came under the direct control of the British government and established the Southern Nigeria Protectorate as a British protectorate and part of the British Empire, the foremost world power at the time. Nigeria was independent since October 1st, 1960. ---- Starting from 1801, the Barbary Wars were a series of two wars fought by the United States, Sweden, and the Kingdom of Sicily against the Ottoman Empire's pro-slave traders Barbary states (including Tunis, Algiers, and Tripoli) of North Africa in the early 19th century. US's anti-slavery direction lead to the 1861 US civil war with Republican-governed anti-slavery USA vs Democrat-governed pro-slavery CSA.

CONSTITUTION OF UKRAINE Adopted at the Fifth Session of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on 28 June 1996 Article 17 The location of foreign military bases shall not be permitted on the territory of Ukraine. Yanukovych breached the Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17. After 2017, Ukraine's constitution is incompatible with foreign military bases hosting either NATO or CSTO. If Yanukovych didn't sign the military base rental extension, Russia would be kicked out of Crimea. Putin's narrative is FALSE. Putin's pressure caused Yanukovych to make a mistake.

  870.  @bearboy9520  Kyle's business is to defend a 3rd party private business. The US constitution allows peaceful protest AGAINST the government. The First Amendment guarantees freedoms concerning religion, expression, assembly, and the right to petition. It forbids Congress from both promoting one religion over others and also restricting an individual’s religious practices. It guarantees freedom of expression by prohibiting Congress from restricting the press or the rights of individuals to speak freely. It also guarantees the right of citizens to assemble peaceably and to petition their government. For the Second Amendment, in the 2008 case District of Columbia v. Heller, the Supreme Court held that the "Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home." The Fifth Amendment's Takings Clause: “nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation.” There's nothing in the US constitution that gives rioters to destroy 3rd party private businesses.

  942.  @rattusfinkus  Australia is already at Net Zero. Australian forests absorb 940 million tonnes of carbon dioxide per annum compared to our domestic and industrial emissions of 417 million tonnes. Add to that the absorption of carbon dioxide in continental Australia to the carbon dioxide adsorption of 2,500,000 square kilometers of continental shelf waters and Australia sequesters some five times as much carbon dioxide as it emits. Australia does more than its share of the heavy lifting for the global sequestration of carbon dioxide. Since Australia has a small population for a given land mass, Australia sequesters some five times as much carbon dioxide as it emits.

Without NATO (and the U.S.), Germany would have done it alone and we would have another WW1 trigger i.e. Russia would have declared war against Germany as in WWI. Germany used NATO with North America's raw material security guarantees to further its own interest when it failed in WW1's goals. Russia knows the decoupling of North America's raw material security guarantees from mainland Europe will enable Russia to win any war of attrition against Germany!

CONSTITUTION OF UKRAINE Adopted at the Fifth Session of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on 28 June 1996 Article 17 The location of foreign military bases shall not be permitted on the territory of Ukraine. Yanukovych breached the Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17. After 2017, Ukraine's constitution is incompatible with foreign military bases hosting either NATO or CSTO. If Yanukovych didn't sign the military base rental extension, Russia would be kicked out of Crimea. Putin's narrative is FALSE. Putin's pressure caused Yanukovych to make a mistake.

The Germans, Americans, British, and French agreed that there would be “no deployment of non-German NATO forces on the territory of the former GDR (East Germany)“. That agreement was incorporated in Article 5 of the Treaty on the Final Settlement with Respect to Germany, which was signed on 12 September 1990 by the six countries : Until Soviet forces had completed their withdrawal from the former GDR, only German territorial defense units not integrated into NATO would be deployed in that territory. There would be no increase in the numbers of troops or equipment of U.S., British and French forces stationed in Berlin. Once Soviet forces had withdrawn, German forces assigned to NATO could be deployed in the former GDR, but foreign forces and nuclear weapons systems would not be deployed there. --- The Three Seas Initiative member countries did NOT sign Treaty on the Final Settlement with Respect to Germany.

F-16C Block 52 Wing area: 300 ft² Empty weight: 18,900 lb Wing loading: 63 lbs/ sq feet. F-35A's empty weight is 1.54X scaled from F-16C. F-35A's wing area is 1.53X scaled from F-16C. F-35A's 43,000 lbf thrust is 1.50X scaled from F-16C's 28,600 lbf. There's a reason for the engine upgrade program. F-35A's 45,000 lbf thrust upgrade road map is 1.57X scaled from F-16C's 28,600 lbf. F-35A needs at least 44,330 lbs thrust to preserve 1.55X scale factor There's a near straight 1.5X scaling between F16C to F-35A on basic wing loading, engine thrust, and empty weight.

For Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum context, Russia, the US and the UK confirmed their Ukraine becoming parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and effectively abandoning their nuclear arsenal to Russia and that they would: 1. Respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders. 2. Refrain from the threat or the use of force against Ukraine. 3. Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine to influence their politics. 4. Seek immediate Security Council action to provide assistance to Ukraine if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used". 5. Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against Ukraine. 6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments. China and France gave somewhat weaker individual assurances in separate documents. Better learn history when UK's entry into WW1 was via defense treaty with Belgium that was invoked when Germany invaded Belgium. US/UK is fulfilling points 4 and 6 in accordance with Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum. Budapest Memorandum's security assurances are weaker than NATO's Article V.

Alexander Hamilton said, "A nation which can prefer disgrace to danger is prepared for a master, and deserves one." Now let's set the record straight. There's no argument over the choice between peace and war, but there's only one guaranteed way you can have peace -- and you can have it in the next second -- surrender. Admittedly, there's a risk in any course we follow other than this, but every lesson of history tells us that the greater risk lies in appeasement, and this is the specter our well-meaning liberal friends refuse to face -- that their policy of accommodation is appeasement, and it gives no choice between peace and war, only between fight or surrender. If we continue to accommodate, continue to back and retreat, eventually we have to face the final demand -- the ultimatum. And what then -- when Nikita Khrushchev has told his people he knows what our answer will be? He has told them that we're retreating under the pressure of the Cold War, and someday when the time comes to deliver the final ultimatum, our surrender will be voluntary, because by that time we will have been weakened from within spiritually, morally, and economically. He believes this because from our side he's heard voices pleading for "peace at any price" or "better Red than dead," or as one commentator put it, he'd rather "live on his knees than die on his feet." And therein lies the road to war, because those voices don't speak for the rest of us. From Ronald Reagan. --------- Replace Nikita Khrushchev with Vladimir Putin.

Older F-16A units are carefully mothballed. There are major differences between AESA and PESA radars. US has 616 stealth fighters i.e. refer to http://www.f-16.net/aircraft-database/F-35/serials-and-inventory/ 438 F-35s and 178 F-22A. F-117A fleet is in enclosed storage. Four "retired" F-117A was secretly deployed late 2016 in the Middle East. F-117A still has common GE F404 engine parts with Hornets. Recently, 200 late model F-16 Block 40/50s was painted with F-35 era R&D "Glass Gen V" stealth coating with ~1m2 RCS Super Hornet Block 2 has RCS less than 1m2. Advance Super Hornet has the option to reach US export near-stealth restriction. F-4, F-8 and F-106 are mothballed and covered in white vinyl plastic compound. F-16A, F-4 and F-106 are used for target drones and unmanned fighter R&D. In terms of mass production, F-16 and F-35 single-engine design is designed for a "total war" situation just like WW2 There's an upgrade path for F-16A to evolved into F-16V Block 70/72. US is ready for a total war against Russia and China.

Respect the signatory's independence and sovereignty in the existing borders. US, UK, and Russia have signed Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum. China and France gave somewhat weaker individual assurances in separate documents. Russia has exited Budapest Memorandum. Budapest Memorandum's territorial integrity assurances are weaker than NATO Article 5, the Japan-US mutual defense pact, and Taiwan Relations Act 1979 (some of the Sino-American Mutual Defense Treaty's content was carried over). Both ANZUS Treaty (non-binding collective security agreement between Australia, United States, and New Zealand) and Budapest Memorandum are non-binding. Budapest Memorandum lacks ANZUS Treaty's defense and security cooperation. .

  1041. Anthony Albanese's argument position is with France 1st. France has backed Italy’s decision to block COVID-19 vaccine exports to Australia. --- A French lawmaker raised questions in the country’s parliament in June about Australian concerns over delays, and whether Australia might be considering submarine alternatives, French government records show. Proving the French were aware of the cost overruns and the failure to complete the design on time had created issues with the Australians. After Australia had spent 2.5 billion dollars for no tangible results. The French asked for an extension nearly two years ago which would extend the design completion date from July 2022 to September 2023. Cost overruns, failure to deliver contractual obligations on time, hostility from the French whenever Australia tried to work out these issues with the French. 2.5 billion dollars and no finished design after five years. That is a cost overrun and all the French lies and tantrums don't change the facts. France failed to honour the contract with Australia. Macron is a lying brat, he should explain why the French have failed to deliver when all they were doing is modifying an existing design from nuclear propulsion to diesel-electric propulsion. After five years and 2.5 billion dollars they did not even finish the design let alone start building the first sub in France as specified by the contract, nor did they start building a shipyard in Adelaide as specified by the contract. Why Australian media is spinning this issue with the French as Australia's fault when the evidence is there for all to see says everything about the Australian media. Whether you love him or hate him, Morrison pull the plug on a scam, a scam that cost Australia 2.5 billion dollars and was only going to get worse, for a submarine that belongs back in the 20th century and does not meet Australia's defence needs in the 21st Century.

Romania's government has condemned Putin's demand to remove Romania's freedom of association. Finland's government has condemned Putin's demand to remove Finland's freedom of association. Estonia's government has condemned Putin's demand to remove Estonia's freedom of association. Latvia's government has condemned Putin's demand to remove Latvia's freedom of association.

  1056.  @michaelroot6064  Date: March 2017 Kurdistan’s Interior Minister said on Tuesday the Regional Government (since its formation) had demanded from the federal government to pay compensation to the families of Kurdish victims who suffered genocide, killing, and displacement from the former Iraqi regime. Rebar Ahmed stressed during the Parliament session that in 2014 “we decided to announce Halabja as a governorate,… but perhaps the big problem facing Halabja is that Iraq is not yet ready to recognize it as a governorate. Therefore, the federal government did not allocate a financial budget for it.” Ahmed continued that when the first Kurdish delegation went to Baghdad, it delivered the Prime Minister a request to compensate the victims of the people of Kurdistan with 380 billion dollars for the crimes committed by Saddam Hussein's regime in Halabja, Anfal and to Barzanis, Faili Kurds, and all victims of Baath crimes. The Halabja chemical attack, also known as the Halabja Massacre or Bloody Friday was a massacre of Kurdish people that took place on 16 March 1988, during the closing days of the Iran–Iraq War in the Kurdish city of Halabja in Iraqi Kurdistan. The attack was part of the Al-Anfal Campaign in Kurdistan, as well as part of the Iraqi Army's attempt to repel the Iranian Operation Zafar 7. It took place 48 hours after the capture of the town by the Iranian Army. A United Nations (UN) medical investigation concluded that mustard gas was used in the attack, along with unidentified nerve agents. The incident was the largest chemical weapons attack directed against a civilian-populated area in history, killing between 3,200 and 5,000 people and injuring 7,000 to 10,000 more, most of them civilians. Preliminary results from surveys of the affected region showed an increased rate of cancer and birth defects in the years afterward. The Halabja attack has been officially defined by the Supreme Iraqi Criminal Tribunal as a genocidal massacre against the Kurdish people in Iraq

  1064.  @dorinpopa6962  The core issue Date: Jan. 7, 2010 Yanukovych: Ukraine will remain a neutral state. "It’s certain that Ukraine was and will be non-aligned state… We strive neither to join NATO nor the [CIS]CSTO [Collective Security Treaty Organization]. We’ll maintain a neutral status," Yanukovych said in an interview with the Komsomolskaya Pravda in Ukraine newspaper. -------- The trigger for Euromaidan was Yanukovych initiated non-neutrality policies such as joining a trade block instead of executing Switzerland-style neutrality. UK leaving the EU and joining CPTPP proves freedom of association. Before Euromaidan, Russia, however, has successfully used political and economic leverage to dissuade Ukraine from signing the E.U. deal. In the months prior to the Vilnius summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin engaged in a trade war with Kiev, blocking nearly all imports from Ukraine and cutting energy supplies to the country. In turn, this reduced Ukrainian exports by 25 percent and shrank the economy by 1.5 percent. Some trade background for the context From Tradebarrier Index (lower score = less trade barriers) New Zealand's tariff score is 2.92 Australia's tariff score is 3.03 UK's tariff score is 3.94 (after Brexit) Japan's tariff score is 4.05 US's tariff score is 4.54 Germany's tariff score is 4.88 EU's tariff score is 4.88 Russia's tariff score is 6.16 <-------- China's tariff score is 6.8 <------ Russia wants to maintain its higher trade protectionist policies.

  1067.  @rossbrown6136  https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/02/27/dear-bernie-sanders-you-cant-separate-cubas-social-policies-its-authoritarianism/ First, consider the issue of literacy in Cuba before Castro came along. Was pre-Castro Cuba a nation of illiterates, and Castro’s literacy campaign as great an accomplishment as Sanders avers? Not at all. A Cuban census from 1953 found that 77.9 percent of the island’s total population was already literate, and that in urban areas the literacy rate was 88.9 percent: among the highest in Latin America and higher than in some benighted rural counties in the United States. Seven years later, in 1960, according to data compiled at Oxford University, the literacy rate for the entire island was 79 percent. So the scope of Castro’s 1961 literacy campaign, much admired by Sanders, is more myth than reality . Moreover, the image of pre-Castro Cuba as a primitive society rescued from poverty and illiteracy by a so-called revolution is a deceitful caricature, one brilliantly conceived by the Castro regime to make its brutality seem less offensive — merely “authoritarian” rather than monstrous. ------------------- Bernie Sanders is repeating Castro's fake news.

  1086.  @personaa422  From https://mises.org/library/business-under-nazis It was common in those days, as it is in ours, to identify the Communists as leftist and the Nazis as rightists, as if they stood on opposite ends of the ideological spectrum. But Mises knew differently. They both sported the same ideological pedigree of socialism . "The German and Russian systems of socialism have in common the fact that the government has full control of the means of production. It decides what shall be produced and how. It allots to each individual a share of consumer's goods for his consumption." The difference between the systems, wrote Mises, is that the German pattern "maintains private ownership of the means of production and keeps the appearance of ordinary prices, wages, and markets." But in fact the government directs production decisions, curbs entrepreneurship and the labor market, and determines wages and interest rates by central authority. "Market exchange," says Mises, "is only a sham." Mises's account is confirmed by a remarkable book that appeared in 1939, published by Vanguard Press in New York City (and unfortunately out of print today). It is The Vampire Economy: Doing Business Under Fascism by Guenter Reimann, then a 35-year-old German writer. Through contacts with German business owners, Reimann documented how the "monster machine" of the Nazis crushed the autonomy of the private sector through onerous regulations, harsh inspections, and the threat of confiscatory fines for petty offenses. ----- Try again.

When they enquired "concerning the ground of the pretensions to make war upon nations who had done them no injury", the ambassador replied: It was written in their Koran, (that all nations which had not acknowledged the Prophet were sinners, whom it was the right and duty of the faithful to plunder and enslave; and that every mussulman who was slain in this warfare was sure to go to paradise). He said, also, that the man who was the first to board a vessel had one slave over and above his share, and that when they sprang to the deck of an enemy's ship, every sailor held a dagger in each hand and a third in his mouth; which usually struck such terror into the foe that they cried out for quarter at once.[25] -------------- This is an existing "old world" issue.

  1121. The Ten Great Campaigns (Chinese: 十全武功; pinyin: Shíquán Wǔgōng) were a series of military campaigns launched by imperialist Qing dynasty of China in the mid–late 18th century during the reign of the Qianlong Emperor (r. 1735–1796). President Xi's argument is based on historical Imperial China's Ten Great Campaigns (Chinese: 十全武功; pinyin: Shíquán Wǔgōng). They included three to enlarge the area of Qing control in Inner Asia: two against the Dzungars (1755–1757) and the "pacification" of Xinjiang (1758–1759). The other seven campaigns were more in the nature of police actions on frontiers already established: two wars to suppress the Gyalrong of Jinchuan, Sichuan, another to suppress the Taiwanese Aboriginals (1787–88), and four expeditions abroad against the Burmese (1765–1769), the Vietnamese (1788–1789), and the Gurkhas on the border between Tibet and Nepal (1790–1792), with the last counting as two. Imperial China is an imperialist power that led to the engagement with European powers. Example from Sino-Burmese Wars, Imperial China invaded the Konbaung dynasty of Burma (Myanmar) multiple times. During the 4th Sino-Burmese Wars starting in 1768, Imperial China invaded the Kingdom of Burma. Burma hired European musketeers and gunners, hence Burma allied itself with the rising French Empire against Imperial China's invasion. The old world issues didn't disappear.

The bill creates a state-wide inspection program for condo buildings taller than three stories. Starting in 2025, the buildings will go through a "milestone inspection" certification process when reaching 30 years of age, or 25 years if the building is located within three miles of the coast, and will be inspected again every 10 years afterward. The inspection records must be posted online and shared with tenants, and condo associations will no longer be able to waive the requirement that they keep a reserve fund large enough to maintain the structural integrity of the building.

Respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders. 2. Refrain from the threat or the use of force against Ukraine. 3. Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine to influence their politics. 4. Seek immediate Security Council action to provide assistance to Ukraine if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used". 5. Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against Ukraine. 6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments. China and France gave somewhat weaker individual assurances in separate documents. Russia has exited Budapest Memorandum. The US and UK are fulfilling points 4 and 6 in accordance with Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum. Budapest Memorandum's security assurances are weaker than NATO's Article V and EU's Article 42.7.

  1161. The U.S. position on Taiwan’s international status is “undetermined,” in accordance with the outcome of the 1951-52 San Francisco Peace Treaty. In that treaty, Japan had formally ceded sovereignty over the island, but it was not decided to whom. Most countries at the 1951 Peace Conference argued that Taiwan’s status needed to be determined in due time, in accordance with the principle of self-determination enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations. Post-WW2, Taiwan and the Pescadores islands are not handed to China, and KMT is a foreign government in exile under the American occupation of Japanese Taiwan islands. In Taiwan, the KMT government was politically defeated by partly aboriginal Taiwanese Tsai Ing-wen Democratic Progressive Party. On the eve of the 1894 Sino-Japanese War, about 45 percent of the island was administered under the direct Manchus Qing administration (Imperial China) while the remaining was populated by Taiwanese aborigines. Imperialist Manchus Qing administration's Imperial China didn't fully control Taiwan.

  1190. Facts from Lockheed’s codeone magazine https://www.codeonemagazine.com/article.html?item_id=137 By the late 1960s, Pratt & Whitney was designing and testing a three-bearing swivel nozzle for use on the Convair Model 200 Sea Control fighter. Design drawings dated 1967 show detail design layouts. The first nozzle was built and tested on a Pratt & Whitney JT8D in the mid 1960s. The tests included operating the nozzle in full afterburner with the nozzle deflected ninety degrees. The test rig was positioned to exhaust upward to avoid heating the ground under the test stand, though subsequent tests positioned the nozzle downward at the ground to assess the effects of ground proximity back pressure on nozzle performance. http://www.codeonemagazine.com/article.html?item_id=137 A great deal of misinformation has appeared on the Internet regarding the relationship of the Soviet Yak-41 (later Yak-141), NATO reporting name Freestyle, to the X-35 and the rest of the JSF program. The Pratt & Whitney 3BSD nozzle design predates the Russian work. In fact the 3BSD was tested with a real engine almost twenty years before the first flight of the Yak. Yakovlev was looking for money to keep its VTOL program alive, not having received any orders for a production version of the Yak-141. Lockheed provided a small amount of funding in return for obtaining performance data and limited design data on the Yak-141. US government personnel were allowed to examine the aircraft. *However, the 3BSN design was already in place on the X-35 before these visits*. -------- Yak copied the same flawed 3 engine hot cores design from Convair Model 200. F-35 has a single-engine hot core. Yak 141's forward hot air flow degrades the main engine's effective thurst.

Immediately after that Greece starts military provocations on the Macedonian-Greece border. .. 19 December 1991: Germany announces that it will recognize Croatia on January 15, 1992, with or without the rest of the European Community. 23 December 1991: Germany becomes the first major power to recognize Croatia and Slovenia as independent states 15 January 1992: The European Community recognizes Slovenia and Croatia. ------------------- Without NATO, Germany would have done it alone and we would have another WW1 trigger i.e. Russia would have declared war against Germany as in WWI. It's in Russia's interest to decouple North America's raw material security guarantees from mainland Europe that will enable Russia to win any war of attrition against France or Germany! Germany used NATO with North America's raw material security guarantees to further its own interest when it failed in WW1's goals. NATO was used to check Russia and avoid the WW1 trigger. Can France factor in Germany's self-interest in Croatia at the expense of Serbia (again )?

The study concluded that the Warlpiri are descended from ancient Asians whose DNA is still somewhat present in Southeastern Asian groups, although greatly diminished. The Warlpiri DNA also lacks certain information found in modern Asian genomes, and carries information not found in other genomes, reinforcing the idea of ancient Aboriginal isolation.[14] _ Aboriginal Australians are genetically most similar to the indigenous populations of Papua New Guinea, and more distantly related to groups from East Indonesia. They are quite distinct from the indigenous populations of Borneo and Malaysia, sharing relatively little genomic information as compared to the groups from Papua New Guinea and Indonesia. This indicates that Australia was isolated for a long time from the rest of Southeast Asia, and remained untouched by migrations and population expansions into that area.[14]

Unlike Russia, the US did NOT assimilate Iraq, Syria, Libya, Afghanistan, and Yugoslavia into US federal structure. >Yugoslavia 9 February 1994: At UN request, NATO agreed to authorise air strikes, declared 20 km total exclusion zone around Sarajevo and required Bosnian Serbs to withdraw heavy weapons from zone or place them under UN control within 10 days; also called on Bosnian Government to place heavy weapons in Sarajevo under UN control. Agreement between 'RS' and Bosnian Government to a ceasefire in Sarajevo, negotiated by Lieutenant-General Sir Michael Rose, then Commander of UN forces in Bosnia. UN Security Council through UNSCR 836 of 4 June 1994 authorizes the use of air power to defend the safe areas created by UN Security Council resolution 824 of 6 May 1993. Paragraph 10 of UNSCR 836 stipulates: "...Member States, acting nationally or through regional organisations or arrangements, may take, under the authority of the Security Council and subject to close coordination with the Secretary-General and UNPROFOR, all necessary measures, through the use of air power, in and around the safe areas in the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, to support UNPROFOR in the performance of its mandate..." >Libya NATO STOPPED the bloody civil war in Libya. Putin STARTED the bloody war in Ukraine. On 16 August 2003, Libya formally admitted responsibility for Pan Am Flight 103 (Lockabie bombing) in a letter presented to the president of the United Nations Security Council. "On 10 March 2011, France was the first country in the world to recognise the National Transitional Council as the legitimate government of Libya". United Nations Security Council Resolution 1973 was adopted by the United Nations Security Council on 17 March 2011 in response to the First Libyan Civil War. The Security Council resolution was proposed by France, Lebanon, and the United Kingdom. Muammar Gaddafi played stupid games and win stupid prizes. The US supported France(EU)'s and UK(EU)'s, and Lebanon's United Nations Security Council Resolution 1973. NATO wasn't used until United Nations Security Council Resolution 1973 since it was vetoed by Turkey. If, however, you are referring to the NATO intervention in Libya, that was NATO agreeing to enforce a United Nations Security Council Resolution. It was never intended as a permanent expansion of the Alliance to embrace Libya nor to establish a NATO base in the country.

Estonia has purchased medium-range strike missiles from Israel. Poland's PAC3 purchase comes with Israel's Stunner interceptor missiles. Have you noticed the pattern?

  1347.  @vaibhav07  >Nato also made a commitment to not expand towards eastern Europe That's a false narrative. Myth 1: NATO promised Russia it would not expand after the Cold War Fact: Such an agreement was never made. NATO’s door has been open to new members since it was founded in 1949 – and that has never changed. This “Open Door Policy” is enshrined in Article 10 of NATO’s founding treaty, which says “any other European State in a position to further the principles of this Treaty and to contribute to the security of the North Atlantic” can apply for membership. Decisions on membership are taken by consensus among all Allies. No treaty signed by the United States, Europe and Russia included provisions on NATO membership. The idea of NATO expansion beyond a united Germany was not on the agenda in 1989, particularly as the Warsaw Pact still existed. This was confirmed by Mikhail Gorbachev in an interview in 2014: "The topic of 'NATO expansion' was not discussed at all, and it wasn't brought up in those years. I say this with full responsibility. Not a single Eastern European country raised the issue, not even after the Warsaw Pact ceased to exist in 1991. Western leaders didn't bring it up, either." Declassified White House transcripts also reveal that, in 1997, Bill Clinton consistently refused Boris Yeltsin's offer of a 'gentlemen's agreement' that no former Soviet Republics would enter NATO: "I can't make commitments on behalf of NATO, and I'm not going to be in the position myself of vetoing NATO expansion with respect to any country, much less letting you or anyone else do so…NATO operates by consensus."

Their foreign ministers both discussed the ruling with ASEAN counterparts in the Laotian capital. But before the meeting, China’s closest ASEAN ally Cambodia opposed the proposed wording, throwing the group into disarray.

  1364.  @saihajmann6622  Before Euromaidan, Russia successfully used political and economic leverage to dissuade Ukraine from signing the E.U. deal. In the months prior to the Vilnius summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin engaged in a trade war with Kyiv, blocking nearly all imports from Ukraine and cutting energy supplies to the country. In turn, this reduced Ukrainian exports by 25 percent and shrank the economy by 1.5 percent. Ukraine Constitution 1991, Article 17, disallows foreign military bases after 2017. According to former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, Ukraine's constitution forbids the country from hosting foreign military bases after 2017. Yanukovych breached the Ukraine Constitution 1991, Article 17. After 2017, Ukraine's constitution is incompatible with foreign military bases hosting either NATO or CSTO. In 2018, President Petro Poroshenko's constitution amendment allowed temporary foreign military bases. If Yanukovych didn't sign the military base rental extension, Russia would be kicked out of Crimea.

Germany and the Soviet Union signed a commercial agreement, dated August 19, providing for the trade of certain German military and civilian equipment in exchange for Soviet raw materials Your argument is hypocritical.

"Chinese funds and engineers are mobilised to build infrastructure outside China, as part of a partnership that was meant to be win-win: this is the very definition of the rationale of the Silk Road," said Jean-François Dufour, economist and director of DCA China-Analysis. The Chinese president integrated the Sri Lankan project into his Silk Road initiative in 2013. But in 2015, financial clouds began gathering over the future of Hambantota’s port, which cost $1.1 billion. Sri Lanka was crumbling under the debt, and was unable to repay the more than $8 billion in loans it had taken from China for several infrastructure projects in the country. Furious, Beijing turned up the heat and threatened to cut off financial support to the island nation if it didn’t quickly find a solution. In December, 2017, after two years of negotiations, Colombo finally agreed to turn over the port to China for 99 years in exchange for the cancellation of its debt. The concession was humiliating for Sri Lanka, while "the opponents of China, like India, painted the entire operation as a deliberate plan to acquire strategic positions in the region," Dufour said. China was suspected of intentionally strangling Colombo with loans at a 6 percent interest rate, which was much higher than the other lenders - such as the World Bank – from which Colombo had previously borrowed.

  1392.  @wedjongkwowe4679  Chile example, USSR has supported its Cuban proxy that in turn supported Marxist Salvador Allende. You're a hypocrite. Marxist Salvador Allende clashed with the right-wing parties that controlled Congress and with the judiciary. On 11 September 1973, the military moved to oust Allende in a coup d'état. Marxist Salvador Allende's presidential branch effectively declared war on the judiciary and right-wing majority governed Congress branches. During the 1970 Chilean presidential election, both the United States and the Soviet Union poured money into this election through their intelligence agencies and other sources. 💰KGB money was more precisely targeted. Allende made a personal request for Soviet money through his personal contact, KGB officer Svyatoslav Kuznetsov, who urgently came to Chile from Mexico City to help Allende. The original allocation of money for these elections through the KGB was $400,000, and an additional personal subsidy of $50,000 directly to Allende.[8] It is believed that help from KGB was a decisive factor, because Allende won by a narrow margin of 39,000 votes of a total of the 3 million cast. After the elections, the KGB director Yuri Andropov obtained permission for additional money and other resources from the Central Committee of the CPSU to ensure Allende victory in Congress. In his request on 24 October, he stated that KGB "will carry out measures designed to promote the consolidation of Allende's victory and his election to the post of President of the country".[8] You're a hypocrite.

  1419.  @brucetucker4847  From en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racial_segregation Imperial China Tang dynasty Several laws which enforced racial segregation of foreigners from Chinese were passed by the Han Chinese during the Tang dynasty.[citation needed] In 779 the Tang dynasty issued an edict which forced Uyghurs to wear their ethnic dress, stopped them from marrying Chinese females, and banned them from pretending to be Chinese.[11] In 836, when Lu Chun was appointed as governor of Canton, he was disgusted to find Chinese living with foreigners and intermarriage between Chinese and foreigners. Lu enforced separation, banning interracial marriages, and made it illegal for foreigners to own property. Lu Chun believed his principles were just and upright.[12] The 836 law specifically banned Chinese from forming relationships with "Dark peoples" or "People of colour", which was used to describe foreigners, such as "Iranians, Sogdians, Arabs, Indians, Malays, Sumatrans", among others.[13][14]

  1429. It's a lesson Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum's security assurances are useless. Feelings are useless, firepower is real. For Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum context, Russia, the US, and the UK confirmed their Ukraine becoming parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and effectively abandoning their nuclear arsenal to Russia and that they would: 1. Respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders. 2. Refrain from the threat or the use of force against Ukraine. 3. Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine to influence their politics. 4. Seek immediate Security Council action to provide assistance to Ukraine if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used". 5. Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against Ukraine. 6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments. China and France gave somewhat weaker individual assurances in separate documents. Russia has exited Budapest Memorandum. The US and UK are fulfilling points 4 and 6 in accordance with Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum. Budapest Memorandum's security assurances are weaker than NATO's Article V and EU's Article 42.7. ------- Before Euromaidan, Russia, however, has successfully used political and economic leverage to dissuade Ukraine from signing the E.U. deal. In the months prior to the Vilnius summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin engaged in a trade war with Kiev, blocking nearly all imports from Ukraine and cutting energy supplies to the country. In turn, this reduced Ukrainian exports by 25 percent and shrank the economy by 1.5 percent. Russia started a series of events that lead to Euromaidan.

This ancient virus is related to HIV( i.e. HTLV-1) and reduces an adult's life span. Aborigines have extra welfare payments e.g. Abstudy. The initial White British population is the rejected poor e.g. sent to Australia (known as New Holland) from stealing a loaf of bread. The UK avoided the French-style revolution by throwing the poor to Australia. Australia's poor worked hard from near ground zero and adopted maritime trading culture like the British to build a country to reach the 12th largest GDP (nominal) 2021 estimate.

It's in India's own interest to gain useful allies against China. From April 2022, Australia and India to sign a $12 billion free trade agreement. India is effectively restoring some Commonwealth preferential trade components with another Commonwealth member. Tariffs will be eliminated on more than 85 percent of Australian goods exports to India, valued at more than $12.6 billion a year, rising to almost 91 percent over 10 years. Australian exports that will benefit include barley, sheep meat, wine, and rock lobster. Nationally, coal will be a big winner as around a quarter of total Indian imports of coal come from Australia. Remember, Brazil and Portugal are the major powers of the Lusophone Commonwealth. Lusophone Commonwealth's integration has progressed deeper than the CANZUK initiative e.g. Lusophone Citizenship, cooperation protocol in defense i.e. Brazil aims for the increased interoperability of the armed forces of Angola, Brazil, Cape Verde, Equatorial Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, Portugal, São Tomé and Príncipe, and Timor-Leste. The relationship between the rising power of Brazil and the smaller Portugal mirrors the relationship between the larger USA and the smaller UK.

US exit from Budapest Memorandum = restore Ukraine's nuclear weapons-grade enriched fissile materials. In the Budapest Memorandum agreement, the US, Russia, and the UK gave "security assurances" in exchange for Ukraine's highly enriched fissile materials and Ukraine joining the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. For my POV, dismantle the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons program IF the US can't uphold their "security assurances".

Germany was imposing pro-Russian natural gas via EU proxy at the expense of coal was stupid. UK's Lithium mines are a reasonable alternative when there is a German-led (via EU proxy) push for wreaking other countries' coal. Australia's free trade deal with the EU has reached an impasse due to the EU's "climate change" definition and market access for Australian agricultural products in the EU. Australia is inching closer to walking away from negotiations with the EU as talks on a free trade agreement reach an impasse. Australia currently has a trade deficit with Europe of more than $26.68 billion USD annually. ----------------- Australia is already at Net Zero. Australian forests absorb 940 million tonnes of carbon dioxide per annum compared to our domestic and industrial emissions of 417 million tonnes. Add to that the absorption of carbon dioxide in continental Australia to the carbon dioxide adsorption of 2,500,000 square kilometers of continental shelf waters and Australia sequesters some five times as much carbon dioxide as it emits. Australia does more than its share of the heavy lifting for the global sequestration of carbon dioxide. Since Australia has a small population for a given land mass, Australia sequesters some five times as much carbon dioxide as it emits. EU's demand for "climate change" action on Australia is a joke.

  1509. Facts from Lockheed's Code One magazine A great deal of misinformation has appeared on the Internet regarding the relationship of the Soviet Yak-41 (later Yak-141), NATO reporting name Freestyle, to the X-35 and the rest of the JSF program. The Pratt & Whitney 3BSD nozzle design predates the Russian work. In fact the 3BSD was tested with a real engine almost twenty years before the first flight of the Yak. Yakovlev was looking for money to keep its VTOL program alive, not having received any orders for a production version of the Yak-141. Lockheed provided a small amount of funding in return for obtaining performance data and limited design data on the Yak-141. US government personnel were allowed to examine the aircraft. *However, the 3BSN design was already in place on the X-35 before these visits*. -------- Yak copied the same flawed 3 engine hot cores design from Convair Model 200. F--35 has a single-engine hot core. Yak 141's forward hot air flow degrades the main engine's effective thurst.

If Yanukovych didn't sign the military base rental extension, Russia would be kicked out of Crimea. Putin's narrative is FALSE. Putin's pressure caused Yanukovych to make a mistake.

  1561.  @TjJay-ev6mx  Syria A Jewish wedding in Aleppo, Syria (Ottoman Empire), 1914. Ruins of the Central Synagogue of Aleppo after the 1947 Aleppo pogrom In 1947, rioters in Aleppo burned the city's Jewish quarter and killed 75 people.[191] As a result, nearly half of the Jewish population of Aleppo opted to leave the city,[5] initially to neighbouring Lebanon.[192] In 1948, there were approximately 30,000 Jews in Syria. In 1949, following defeat in the Arab–Israeli War, the CIA-backed March 1949 Syrian coup d'état installed Husni al-Za'im as the President of Syria. Za'im permitted the emigration of large numbers of Syrian Jews, and 5,000 left to Israel.[192] The subsequent Syrian governments placed severe restrictions on the Jewish community, including barring emigration.[192] In 1948, the government banned the sale of Jewish property and in 1953 all Jewish bank accounts were frozen. The Syrian secret police closely monitored the Jewish community. Over the following years, many Jews managed to escape, and the work of supporters, particularly Judy Feld Carr,[193] in smuggling Jews out of Syria, and bringing their plight to the attention of the world, raised awareness of their situation. Although the Syrian government attempted to stop Syrian Jews from exporting their assets, the American consulate in Damascus noted in 1950 that "the majority of Syrian Jews have managed to dispose of their property and to emigrate to Lebanon, Italy, and Israel".[194][195] In November 1954, the Syrian government temporarily lifted its ban on Jewish emigration.[196] The various restrictions that the Syrian government placed on the Jewish population were severe. Jews were legally barred from working for the government or for banks, obtaining driver's licenses, having telephones in their homes or business premises, or purchasing property. In March 1964, the Syrian government issued a decree prohibiting Jews from traveling more than three miles from the limits of their hometowns.[197] In 1967, in the aftermath of the Six-Day War, antisemitic riots broke out in Damascus and Aleppo. Jews were allowed to leave their homes only for few hours daily. Many Jews found it impossible to pursue their business ventures because the larger community was boycotting their products. In 1970, Israel launched Operation Blanket, a covert military and intelligence operation to evacuate Syrian Jews, managing to bring a few dozen young Jews to Israel.[198] Clandestine Jewish emigration continued, as Jews attempted to sneak across the borders into Lebanon or Turkey, often with the help of smugglers, and make contact with Israeli agents or local Jewish communities. In 1972, demonstrations were held by 1,000 Syrian Jews in Damascus, after four Jewish women were killed as they attempted to flee Syria. The protest surprised Syrian authorities, who closely monitored Jewish community, eavesdropped on their telephone conversations, and tampered with their mail.[198] Following the Madrid Conference of 1991, the United States put pressure on the Syrian government to ease its restrictions on Jews, and during Passover in 1992, the government of Syria began granting exit visas to Jews on condition that they did not emigrate to Israel. At that time, the country had several thousand Jews. The majority left for the United States—most to join the large Syrian Jewish community in South Brooklyn, New York—although some went to France and Turkey, and 1,262 Syrian Jews who wanted to immigrate to Israel were brought there in a two-year covert operation.[199] In 2004, the Syrian government attempted to establish better relations with its emigrants, and a delegation of a dozen Jews of Syrian origin visited Syria in the spring of that year.[199] As of December 2014, only 17 Jews remain in Syria, according to Rabbi Avraham Hamra; nine men and eight women, all over 60 years of age.[200] ------------- Your argument is bullshit.

  1570.  @thedj3319  Wrong again. From http://library.cqpress.com/cqresearcher/document.php?id=cqresrre1940110100 Growth of Government Control of Business In the meantime, the mechanisms for government control of the economic system had been extended and strengthened. During the banking crisis of 1932, almost all of Germany's large private banks were brought under the control of the Reichsbank. This was even more important in Germany than it would have been elsewhere, because the banks handled a large part of business investment as well as commercial loans, and consequently were in a position of very great influence in German industry. In this same period, the percentage of German national income which went to the state in one form of taxes or another was also increased, adding to the direct importance of the state in the economic life of the nation. The result, according to Stolper, was that: When it came to its end, the democratic Republic left as a heritage to the National Socialist state an economic system that corresponded rather closely to a complete system of “State Socialism.” The state was, so to speak, in command of the whole blood circulation as represented in a modern economic system by the banking mechanism. The state held in its grip the most important “commanding heights” over business, such as the transportation system, the power supply, and the influence over cartel prices. The state had, furthermore, taken over vital functions of the trade unions and the employers' organizations. … The road to the totalitarian state had teen well laid out. The National Socialist government needed but to utilize for its own aims the instruments of state power forged by its predecessors.3 This observation is confirmed by Fritz Ermarth, who writes, “When the National Socialists seized power in Germany early in 1938, the German national economy was under Government control to a wider extent than ever before during peacetime.”4 In addition to the railroads, telegraph and telephone lines, which had long been state-owned, the Reich had invested government funds directly in the German steel cartel, in a moving picture company, in numerous construction enterprises, and in other “private” businesses. -------- Try again.

The city of Donetsk was founded in 1869 when the Welsh businessman John Hughes operated a steel plant and several coal mines at Aleksandrovka. The worker's settlement at the plant merged with Aleksandrovka and the place was named Yuzovo, later Yuzovka (Russian: Юзово, Юзовка), after Hughes. In its early period, it received immigrants from Wales, especially from the town of Merthyr Tydfil. By the beginning of the 20th century, Yuzovka had approximately 50,000 inhabitants, and attained the status of a city in 1917. The main district of Yuzovka is named English Colony, and the British origin of the city is reflected in its layout and architecture. Donetsk's immigrants from Wales were Russified.

  1629.  @aesop8694  There was no mutual military assistance treaty between Czechoslovakia and UK. After the Munich agreement, UK signed mutual military assistance between the nations if either was attacked by some "European country" After the German occupation of Prague in March 1939 in violation of the Munich agreement, the Chamberlain government in Britain sought Soviet and French support for a Peace Front. The goal was to deter further German aggression by guaranteeing the independence of Poland and Romania. However, Stalin refused to pledge Soviet support for the guarantees unless Britain and France first concluded a military alliance with the Soviet Union. Although the British cabinet decided to seek such an alliance, the western negotiators in Moscow in August 1939 lacked urgency. The talks were conducted poorly and slowly by diplomats with little authority, such as William Strang, an assistant under-secretary. Stalin also insisted on British and French guarantees to Finland, the Baltic states, Poland and Romania against indirect German aggression. Those countries, however, became fearful that Moscow wanted to control them. Although Hitler was escalating threats against Poland, which refused to allow Soviet troops to cross its borders for fear that they would never leave. Historian Michael Jabara Carley argues that the British were too committed to anticommunism to trust Stalin. Meanwhile, both Great Britain and USSR were separately involved into secret negotiations with Germany. Eventually Stalin was attracted to a much better deal by Hitler, the control of most of Eastern Europe, and decided to sign the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact .

  1632.  @claudiopereira9900  Against "Russia invaded the territory of Poland, the Polish government in exile agreed" claim. This is false. The Polish government in exile, Mikołajczyk and his colleagues in the Polish government-in-exile insisted on making a stand in the defense of Poland's pre-1939 eastern border (retaining its Kresy region) as a basis for the future Polish-Soviet border. Churchill is a realist who didn't support Mikołajczyk's demands since the UK is unable to fight a war on two fronts. The fight against USSR was inherited by the post-WW2 superpower US. After WW2 and the creation of the Five Eyes alliance, the US inherited most of the UK's foreign policy positions e.g. alliance with Saudi Arabia, and distrust of the Russians. After WW2, exiled Polish government continued its struggles against USSR until the fall of the USSR. In December 1990, when Lech Wałęsa became the first non-Communist president of Poland since the war, he received the symbols of the Polish Republic (the presidential banner, the presidential and state seals, the presidential sashes, and the original text of the 1935 Constitution) from the last president of the government in exile, Ryszard Kaczorowski. In 1992, military medals and other decorations awarded by the government in exile were officially recognized in Poland.

Blame Denmark's green policies for delaying this pipeline. A new gas pipeline from Poland to Baltic countries i.e. Gas Interconnection Poland–Lithuania (GIPL). The link can transport about 2 billion cubic metres per annum of gas from Poland to Lithuania and onwards to Latvia and Estonia. Spain is not dependent on Russian gas since the majority of its gas supplies are from Algeria and Morocco via the Maghreb-Europe gas pipeline (MGE). The UK is not dependent on Russian natural gas, making up less than 4% of the supply. EU funded Croatia's new LNG terminals for Australian and Qatari LNG shipments. Croatia's new LNG terminals are located near Bulgaria and Romania. Croatia's new LNG terminals enable better access for LNG shipments from countries like Qatari and Australian LNG for EU's southeast members. Poland and Bulgaria were planning for the expiration of supply contracts with Gazprom by the end of 2022. ----- The old Axis, Italy's, Germany's and Austria's preparation is poor.

  1654. In the mid-2000s, Colombo (the commercial capital of Sri Lanka) agreed to let Beijing build a new port from scratch in the town of Hambantota, in the south of the island. It wasn’t yet thought of as part of a new Silk Road -- that programme was conceptualizsed by Xi Jinping in 2012 -- but all the ingredients were there. "Chinese funds and engineers are mobilised to build infrastructure outside China, as part of a partnership that was meant to be win-win: this is the very definition of the rationale of the Silk Road," said Jean-François Dufour, economist and director of DCA China-Analysis. The Chinese president integrated the Sri Lankan project into his Silk Road initiative in 2013. But in 2015, financial clouds began gathering over the future of Hambantota’s port, which cost $1.1 billion. Sri Lanka was crumbling under the debt, and was unable to repay the more than $8 billion in loans it had taken from China for several infrastructure projects in the country. Furious, Beijing turned up the heat and threatened to cut off financial support to the island nation if it didn’t quickly find a solution. In December, 2017, after two years of negotiations, Colombo finally agreed to turn over the port to China for 99 years in exchange for the cancellation of its debt. The concession was humiliating for Sri Lanka, while "the opponents of China, like India, painted the entire operation as a deliberate plan to acquire strategic positions in the region," Dufour said. China was suspected of intentionally strangling Colombo with loans at a 6 percent interest rate, which was much higher than the other lenders - such as the World Bank – from which Colombo had previously borrowed.

  1656. Before Euromaidan, Russia has successfully used political and economic leverage to dissuade Ukraine from signing the E.U. deal. In the months prior to the Vilnius summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin engaged in a trade war with Kyiv, blocking nearly all imports from Ukraine and cutting energy supplies to the country. In turn, this reduced Ukrainian exports by 25 percent and shrank the economy by 1.5 percent. Ukraine Constitution 1991, Article 17, disallows foreign military bases after 2017. According to former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, Ukraine's constitution forbids the country from hosting foreign military bases after 2017. Yanukovych breached the Ukraine Constitution 1991, Article 17. After 2017, Ukraine's constitution is incompatible with foreign military bases hosting either NATO or CSTO. In 2018, President Petro Poroshenko's constitution amendment allowed temporary foreign military bases. If Yanukovych didn't sign the military base rental extension, Russia would be kicked out of Crimea.

  1661.  @zava5025  Hitler's socialism has favored the "Ayran race" group that benefited from direct mass stealing from the undesirable groups of people and it's enforced by a big interventionist nation-state government. Marxist socialism has favored the "worker class" group that benefited from direct mass stealing from the undesirable groups of people and it's enforced by a big interventionist nation-state government. All major Marxist socialism implementation does NOT transfer private property titles to benefactors. Marxist supports attempt to cast Hitler's socialism as rightwing when it's similar to the extreme left socialism. For post-WW2 Japan, MacArthur also executed land reform by shifting significant wealthy landlord's lands to the workers with private land title transfers. MacArthur = land reform transfers that included private land title transfers to the workers. From http://www.crosscurrents.hawaii.edu/content.aspx?lang=eng&site=japan&theme=work&subtheme=AGRIC&unit=JWORK098# Land Reform in Postwar Japan As part of the democratization of Japan after World War II, Japanese leaders and Occupation authorities worked together to carry out land reform. It is regarded as one of the most successful of the Occupation-era reforms, and has become the model for land reform in other countries. The purpose of land reform was to reduce the wide gap between absentee landlords who owned agricultural land but did not farm it themselves, and tenant farmers who rented the land in exchange for giving the landlord a high proportion of the crop. The land reform laws were intended to limit the amount of farmland one household could own to about the amount of land that one family could farm themselves, without outside labor. The government forced absentee landlords to sell all their land to the government. Farmers were allowed to own a small amount of farm land that they could rent out to others ( 2.5 acres or one hectare in most parts of Japan, and 10 acres or 4 hectares in Hokkaido), and had to sell any excess to the government. The government then sold this land, usually to the tenant who had been farming it. The result greatly improved the living conditions of farmers. Idealogical basis: A family's land ownership. The new world west has its own idealogy on land reform with family units and private ownership as its core idealogy. VS Marxist socialism = land reform transfer to the state, no private land title transfer to the workers.

The word corporation comes from the Latin word “corporare” which means “to combine in one body”.

The Saudis want the United States to give arms and intelligence to Kurdish rebels in north Iraq, Shiite Muslim fighters in the south and Sunni Muslim opposition forces in central Iraq, the Times said, quoting U.S. and allied officials it didn’t name. ------ Date: December 2005 Dutch dealer gets 15 years for chemical sales to Saddam. A Dutch businessman was yesterday jailed for 15 years after a court in The Hague found him guilty of complicity in war crimes for selling chemicals to Iraq that Saddam Hussein's regime used in lethal gas attacks on Kurdish villages. ------ Date: March 2017 Kurdistan’s Interior Minister said on Tuesday the Regional Government since its formation had demanded from the federal government to pay compensation to the families of Kurdish victims who suffered genocide, killing, and displacement from the former Iraqi regime. Rebar Ahmed stressed during the Parliament session that in 2014 “we decided to announce Halabja as a governorate,… but perhaps the big problem facing Halabja is that Iraq is not yet ready to recognize it as a governorate. Therefore, the federal government did not allocate a financial budget for it.” Ahmed continued that when the first Kurdish delegation went to Baghdad, it delivered the Prime Minister a request to compensate the victims of the people of Kurdistan with 380 billion dollars for the crimes committed by Saddam Hussein's regime in Halabja, Anfal and to Barzanis, Faili Kurds, and all victims of Baath crimes. The Halabja chemical attack, also known as the Halabja Massacre or Bloody Friday was a massacre of Kurdish people that took place on 16 March 1988, during the closing days of the Iran–Iraq War in the Kurdish city of Halabja in Iraqi Kurdistan. The attack was part of the Al-Anfal Campaign in Kurdistan, as well as part of the Iraqi Army's attempt to repel the Iranian Operation Zafar 7.

  1703. Twenty Iraqi Kurds have taken legal action to expose French firms who supplied poison gas to Saddam Hussein in 1988. The plaintiffs were among the victims of a chemical weapon attack that killed 5,000 in the town of Halabja during the Iran-Iraq war. A Dutch businessman who sold Iraq chemicals used in the attack was ordered to pay 400,000 euros to some of the victims in April 2013. ----------- Date: March 2017 Kurdistan’s Interior Minister said on Tuesday the Regional Government since its formation had demanded from the federal government to pay compensation to the families of Kurdish victims who suffered genocide, killing, and displacement from the former Iraqi regime. Rebar Ahmed stressed during the Parliament session that in 2014 “we decided to announce Halabja as a governorate,… but perhaps the big problem facing Halabja is that Iraq is not yet ready to recognize it as a governorate. Therefore, the federal government did not allocate a financial budget for it.” Ahmed continued that when the first Kurdish delegation went to Baghdad, it delivered the Prime Minister a request to compensate the victims of the people of Kurdistan with 380 billion dollars for the crimes committed by Saddam Hussein's regime in Halabja, Anfal and to Barzanis, Faili Kurds, and all victims of Baath crimes. The Halabja chemical attack, also known as the Halabja Massacre or Bloody Friday was a massacre of Kurdish people that took place on 16 March 1988, during the closing days of the Iran–Iraq War in the Kurdish city of Halabja in Iraqi Kurdistan. The attack was part of the Al-Anfal Campaign in Kurdistan, as well as part of the Iraqi Army's attempt to repel the Iranian Operation Zafar 7. It took place 48 hours after the capture of the town by the Iranian Army. A United Nations (UN) medical investigation concluded that mustard gas was used in the attack, along with unidentified nerve agents. The incident was the largest chemical weapons attack directed against a civilian-populated area in history, killing between 3,200 and 5,000 people and injuring 7,000 to 10,000 more, most of them civilians.

Australian gas competes against Russian gas in the Chinese market. Poland has new gas terminals for US LNG. From the guardian Date: 26th of Jan 2022. Australia is considering supplying extra liquefied natural gas (LNG) to Europe after the US and the UK raised fears the continent’s reliance on Russia makes it vulnerable in a growing standoff with Vladimir Putin. A senior Biden administration official revealed the US was also “looking at the global flow of LNG – whether it’s from the United States or from Australia or from other places”. Qatar is also part of the energy supply talks. The official said Russia had already restricted the flow of gas through the pipeline running through Ukraine from about 100m cubic metres a day to 50m. The Australian resources minister, Keith Pitt, said Australia was “a leading and reliable global exporter of LNG” and “stands ready to assist with any request for further supplies”. “This shows how important Australian resources are to energy supplies around the world,” Pitt said in a statement. From The World Factbook Top natural gas exporters in m3/year (estimates) in 2020 1. Russia = 199,928,345,000 2. United States = 149,538,000,000 3. Qatar = 143,700,000,000 4.

During World War II, the Soviet Union took parts of the Moldavian ASSR, which was dissolved, and of the Kingdom of Romania's Bessarabia to form the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic in 1940. The Moldavian SSR, organised by a decision of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR on 2 August 1940, was formed out of a part of Bessarabia (taken from Romania on 28 June, after the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact) and out of a part of the Moldavian ASSR roughly equivalent to present-day Transnistria. Transnistria was a product of NAZI-Germany's and the USSR's Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact. LOL.

The Security Council resolution was proposed by France, Lebanon, and the United Kingdom. Muammar Gaddafi played stupid games and win stupid prizes.

NATO wasn't used until United Nations Security Council Resolution 1973 since it was vetoed by Turkey.

The trigger is the 1956 Suez Canal crisis when the Soviets have threaten to nuke Britain, France, and Israel without US nuclear weapons coverage. Russian-dominated USSR's threaten to nuke non-nuclear states and the withdrawal of US nuclear weapons coverage have made the argument for independent nuclear weapons armed US allies!

  1770. The Ten Great Campaigns (Chinese: 十全武功; pinyin: Shíquán Wǔgōng) were a series of military campaigns launched by the Qing dynasty of China in the mid–late 18th century during the reign of the Qianlong Emperor (r. 1735–1796). They included three to enlarge the area of Qing control in Inner Asia: two against the Dzungars (1755–1757) and the "pacification" of Xinjiang (1758–1759). The other seven campaigns were more in the nature of police actions on frontiers already established: two wars to suppress the Gyalrong of Jinchuan, Sichuan, another to suppress the Taiwanese Aboriginals (1787–88), and four expeditions abroad against the Burmese (1765–1769), the Vietnamese (1788–1789), and the Gurkhas on the border between Tibet and Nepal (1790–1792), with the last counting as two. President Xi's argument is based on historical Imperial China's Ten Great Campaigns. Territorial disputes around Xi's China are based on Imperial China's Ten Great Campaigns. During the 4th Sino-Burmese Wars starting in 1768, Imperial China invaded the Kingdom of Burma. Burma hired European musketeers and gunners, hence Burma allied itself with the rising French Empire against Imperial China's invasion. Imperial China's imperialist conquest led to kinetic engagement with other powers. Look in the mirror.

  1788.  @robertmarmaduke9721  False narrative By the 16th century, increasing numbers of Chinese fishermen, traders and pirates were visiting the southwestern part of the island. When the Dutch arrived in 1623, they found about 1,500 Chinese visitors and residents. The Dutch East India Company (VOC) came to the area in search of an Asian trade and military base. Defeated by the Portuguese at the Battle of Macau in 1622, they attempted to occupy Penghu, but were driven off by the Ming authorities. They then built Fort Zeelandia on the islet of Tayowan off the southwest coast of Taiwan. (The site is now part of the main island, in modern Anping, Tainan.) On the adjacent mainland, they built a smaller brick fort, Fort Provintia.[22] Local aboriginals called the area Pakan[23] and on some old maps the island of Taiwan is named Pakan.[24] In 1626, the Spanish Empire, viewing the Dutch presence on Taiwan as a threat to their colony in the Philippines, established a settlement at Santísima Trinidad on the northeast coast of Taiwan (modern Keelung), building Fort San Salvador. They also built Fort Santo Domingo in the northwest (modern Tamsui) in 1629, but had abandoned it by 1638. The small colony was plagued by disease and a hostile local population, and received little support from Manila.[25] The Dutch Governor Pieter Nuyts got entangled in a dispute with the Japanese Hamada Yahei. The Dutch were defeated at the Battle of Liaoluo Bay by the Chinese Zheng Zhilong in 1633. The Dutch set out to turn Taiwan into a Dutch colony.[11] The first order of business was to punish villages that had violently opposed the Dutch and unite the aborigines in allegiance with the VOC. The first punitive expedition was against the villages of Baccloan and Mattauw, north of Saccam near Tayowan. The Mattauw campaign had been easier than expected and the tribe submitted after having their village razed by fire. The campaign also served as a threat to other villages from Tirossen (modern Chiayi) to Lonkjiaow (Hengchun). The 1636 punitive attack on Lamay Island in response to the killing of the shipwrecked crews of the Beverwijck and the Golden Lion ended ten years later with the entire aboriginal population of 1100 removed from the island including 327 Lamayans killed in a cave, having been trapped there by the Dutch and suffocated in the fumes and smoke pumped into the cave by the Dutch and their allied aborigines from Saccam, Soulang and Pangsoya.[26] The men were forced into slavery in Batavia (Java) and the women and children became servants and wives for the Dutch officers. The events on Lamay changed the course of Dutch rule to work closer with allied aborigines, though there remained plans to depopulate the outlying islands.[27] In 1642, the Dutch ejected the Spanish from the north of the island.[28][29] They then sought to establish control of the western plains between the new possessions and their base at Taoyuan. After a brief but destructive campaign in 1645, Pieter Boon was able to subdue the tribes in this area, including the Kingdom of Middag.[30][31] On the mainland, Manchu forces broke through Shanhai Pass in 1644 and rapidly overwhelmed the Ming dynasty. In 1661, a naval fleet led by the Ming loyalist Koxinga arrived in Taiwan to oust the Dutch from Zeelandia and establish a pro-Ming base in Taiwan.[36] Koxinga was born to Zheng Zhilong, a Chinese merchant and pirate, and Tagawa Matsu, a Japanese woman, in 1624 in Hirado, Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan. He was raised there until seven and moved to Quanzhou, in the Fujian province of China. In a family made wealthy from shipping and piracy, Koxinga inherited his father's trade networks, which stretched from Nagasaki to Macao. Following the Manchu advance on Fujian, Koxinga retreated from his stronghold in Amoy (Xiamen city) and besieged Taiwan in the hope of establishing a strategic base to marshal his troops to retake his base at Amoy. In 1662, following a nine-month siege, Koxinga captured the Dutch fortress Zeelandia and Taiwan became his base (see Kingdom of Tungning).[37] The Taiwanese Aboriginal tribes who were previously allied with the Dutch against the Chinese during the Guo Huaiyi Rebellion in 1652 turned against the Dutch during the Siege of Fort Zeelandia and defected to Koxinga's Chinese forces.[38] The Aboriginals (Formosans) of Sincan defected to Koxinga after he offered them amnesty. The Sincan Aboriginals then proceeded to work for the Chinese and behead Dutch people in executions. The frontier aboriginals in the mountains and plains also surrendered and defected to the Chinese on 17 May 1661, celebrating their freedom from compulsory education under the Dutch rule by hunting down Dutch people and beheading them and trashing their Christian school textbooks.[39] Koxinga died four months after the siege was over, there were speculations that he died in a sudden fit of madness when his officers refused to carry out his orders to execute his son Zheng Jing. Zheng Jing had an affair with his wet nurse and conceived a child with her.[40] Other accounts are more straightforward, attributing Koxinga's death to a case of malaria.[41][42] Following the death of Koxinga, his son Zheng Jing took over the Zheng regime, leading the remaining 7,000 Ming loyalist troops to Taiwan. In response to raids by Zheng Jing and in an effort to starve out the forces in Taiwan, the Qing decreed to relocate all of the southern coastal towns and ports that had been the targets of raids by the Zheng fleet and thus provided supplies for the resistance. This measure largely backfired, and between 1662 and 1664, six major waves of immigration occurred from these coastal towns to Taiwan, spurred by the severe hardships incurred from the Qing relocation policy. In a move to take advantage of this Qing misstep, Zheng Jing promoted immigration to Taiwan by promising free eastern land cultivation and ownership for peasants in exchange for compulsory military service by all males in case the island was in danger of a Qing invasion. ... From 1683, the Qing dynasty ruled part of the island as Taiwan Prefecture and in 1875 divided the island into two prefectures, north and south. In 1887, the island was declared as a separate Fokien-Taiwan Province. The Qing authorities tried to limit immigration to Taiwan and barred families from traveling to Taiwan to ensure the immigrants would return to their families and ancestral graves. Illegal immigration continued, but many of the men had few prospects in war-weary Fujian and thus married locally, resulting in the idiom "has Tangshan[a] father, no Tangshan mother" The Qing tried to protect aboriginal land claims, but also sought to turn them into tax-paying subjects. Chinese and tax-paying aborigines were barred from entering the wilderness which covered most of the island for the fear of raising the ire of the nontaxpaying, highland aborigines and inciting rebellion. A border was constructed along the western plain, built using pits and mounds of earth, called "earth cows", to discourage squatting. ----- In the 1600s, Imperial China didn't control Taiwan. Dutch Taiwan was a refugee Island for Ming loyalists against Qing (ruling Imperial China).

  1876.  @zsarimaxim692  The U.S. position on Taiwan’s international status is “undetermined,” in accordance with the outcome of the 1951-52 San Francisco Peace Treaty. In that treaty, Japan had formally ceded sovereignty over the island, but it was not decided to whom. Most countries at the 1951 Peace Conference argued that Taiwan’s status needed to be determined in due time, in accordance with the principle of self-determination enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations. Post-WW2, Taiwan and the Pescadores islands are not handed to China, and KMT is a foreign government in exile under the American occupation of Japanese Taiwan islands. In Taiwan, the KMT government was politically defeated by partly aboriginal Taiwanese Tsai Ing-wen Democratic Progressive Party. On the eve of the 1894 Sino-Japanese War, about 45 percent of the island was administered under the Manchus Qing administration (Imperial China) while the remaining was populated by Taiwanese aborigines. Imperialist Manchus Qing's Imperial China didn't fully control Taiwan. 1. KMT is overreaching its territorial claim since on the eve of the 1894 Sino-Japanese War, about 45 percent of the island was administered under the Manchus Qing administration (Imperial China) while the remaining land area was populated by Taiwanese aborigines. 2. KMT was militarily defeated by CCP. KMT rejected CCP and it has runaway to Formosa. 3. KMT was politically defeated by partly aboriginal Taiwanese Tsai Ing-wen Democratic Progressive Party.

  1877.  @zsarimaxim692  1952 Treaty of Taipei's Article 2 refers to San Francisco Treaty. Article 2 It is recognized that under Article 2 of the Treaty of Peace with Japan signed at the city of San Francisco in the United States of America on September 8, 1951 (hereinafter referred to as the San Francisco Treaty), Japan has renounced all right, title and claim to Taiwan (Formosa) and Penghu (the Pescadores) as well as the Spratly Islands and the Paracel Islands. Article 2 didn't confer the new owner for Taiwan. Article 3 is between the Government of the Republic of China and the Government of Japan, not with PRC. In Articles 2 and 5, the Treaty of Taipei makes direct references to the San Francisco Peace Treaty (SFPT), also known as the Japanese Peace Treaty, which was signed and ratified by most Allies with the government of Japan respectively in 1951 and 1952. The San Francisco Peace Treaty was signed on 8 September 1951 and ratified on 28 April 1952, the same date that the Treaty of Taipei was signed. The latter treaty entered into force on 5 August 1952 with the exchange of the instruments of ratification between Tokyo and Taipei. British officials did not consider Taiwan's sovereignty to be transferred to China by the SFPT; American officials recognized no such transfer in either treaty According to United Nations Treaty Series Volume 138, the Japanese plenipotentiary, Isao Kawada, acknowledged "The present Treaty (Treaty of Peace) shall, in respect of the Republic of China, be applicable to all the territories which are now, or which may hereafter be, under the control of its Government," which included Taiwan (Formosa), Penghu (the Pescadores) through the Exchange of Notes No. 1.[13] Regarding the effect of the Exchange of Notes No. 1, in 1964, Japanese Minister for Foreign Affairs Masayoshi Ōhira explained in the House of Councillors: "This note of exchange has nothing to do with the Republic of China's territorial sovereignty… The effect of this provision is under the prerequisite of the Republic of China's actual administration over these territories and clearly does not mean its Government has the territorial sovereignty over these territories. We used the word "control" to make such a connotation obvious."[14] You are wrong.

A detailed statistical report prepared for the Commission for Reception, Truth and Reconciliation in East Timor cited a minimum of 102,800 conflict-related deaths in the period between 1974 and 1999, including approximately 18,600 killings and 84,200 "excess" deaths from hunger and illness. Portuguese, Indonesian, and Catholic Church data estimated 200,000 deaths. The East Timorese guerrilla force (Forças Armadas da Libertação Nacional de Timor-Leste, Falintil) fought a campaign against the Indonesian forces from 1975 to 1998. The mess is Indonesia's NOT the west. ---- East Timor is a full member state of the Community of Portuguese Language Countries (CPLP), also known as the Lusophone Commonwealth, an international organisation and political association of Lusophone nations across four continents. In each of those nations, Portuguese is an official language. Brazil and Portugal are the major powers for Lusophone Commonwealth. Lusophone Commonwealth's Defense component, In 2016, CPLP revised its cooperation protocol in defense, affirming the organization in the promotion of peace and security. The 2017 Exercício Felino military exercise taking place in Academia Militar das Agulhas Negras, Resende, in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, aims for the increased interoperability of the armed forces of Angola, Brazil, Cape Verde, Equatorial Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, Portugal, São Tomé and Príncipe, and Timor-Leste. The Parliamentary Assembly of Lusophony is the body that brings together the representations of all the Parliaments of the Member States, constituted on the basis of the respective electoral results of the legislative elections. Lusophone Citizenship Easing citizens' cross-border movement between the member states was proposed at the 2017 CPLP Summit.[30] This proposal by Portugal and Cape Verde to Brazil was thought by some to conflict with Europe's Schengen area. However, this free movement is based on a different model: as residence permits, associated with the recognition of academic degrees and professional qualification, and maintenance of social rights including pension systems. It would henceforth establish Lusophone citizenship. Brazil has a nuclear-powered submarine and Sweden's Gripen E (F-39). As the rising power of Brazil coupled with Portugal partner, the Portuguese speakers have their own transnational Portuguese interest. The relationship between the raising power of Brazil and the smaller Portugal mirrors the relationship between the larger USA and the smaller UK. Brazil has a large landmass (linked to mineral wealth) and a large enough population size to be near super-power. Work in progress CANZUK initiative is the English-speaking version of Lusophone Commonwealth's Lusophone Citizenship. Lusophone Commonwealth's integration is far more advanced when compared to the CANZUK initiative. Russia and China are NOT the only groups reverting back to historical empires.

  1917.  Felipe Lim  Taiwan was an aboriginal country and has never belonged to China. 1644, China was colonized by foreigners who came originally from Manchuria, a northern region sandwiched between China, Mongolia, and Siberia (Russia). On the eve of the 1894 Sino-Japanese War, about 45 percent of the island was administered under the direct Qing administration (Imperial China) while the remaining was populated by Aborigines. A significant number of Taiwan's population are from Ming loyalists (defeated by Qing) and Republic of China refugees (defeated by CCP). The current Taiwanese president is partly aboriginal hence the reason why She doesn't recognize mainland China's claim over the Island of Taiwan. Dutch East India Company (VOC) arrived in Taiwan in 1623. The VOC administered the island and its predominantly aboriginal population until 1662, setting up a tax system, schools to teach romanized script of aboriginal languages. In 1661, a naval (refugee) fleet led by the Ming loyalist Koxinga arrived in Taiwan to oust the Dutch from Zeelandia (Taiwan) and establish a pro-Ming base in Taiwan. Koxinga was born to Zheng Zhilong, a Chinese merchant and pirate, and Tagawa Matsu, a Japanese woman, in 1624 in Hirado, Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan.

The Flanker has a pretty decent roll-rate per se (270°/s), but due to its engines being spaced widely apart it has a high moment of inertia so the rotation takes quite long to build up. Single engine aircraft (F-16, Mirage 2000) are most impressive in this regard. F-35C = 300 °/s.

The Hornets have done fairly well, even during 1v1.” WGCDR Jones said Australian pilots were getting a “buzz out of working with a new platform,” but he too declined to offer an opinion on the capabilities of the Flankers. Instead he diplomatically said, “I remain very comfortable that we have the Super Hornet in RAAF service.” GPCAPT Kitcher assessed the Super Hornets as enjoying parity with the Flankers, but that “a pilot’s skill is the most important factor”.

  1931. +Scott Everett, Australia's Medicare is a government owned medical insurance.  Australians pay Medicare levy which is currently 2 percent of  taxable income. An exemption applies to low income earners, with different thresholds applying to singles, families, seniors and pensioners, with a phasing-in range. Since 2015–16, the exemptions applied to taxable incomes below $21,335, or $33,738 for seniors and pensioners. The phasing-in range is for taxable incomes between $21,335 and $26,668, or $33,738 and $42,172 for seniors and pensioners.A Medicare levy surcharge (MLS) was introduced in July 1997 by the Howard Coalition government to encourage people on higher incomes to take out and maintain private health insurance. It was part of an effort to reduce demand on the public Medicare system by encouraging people to use the private hospital system. In 2014, the surcharge increased to 1.25% for individuals without private hospital cover on incomes over $105,000, from $97,000, and 1.5% for those on incomes over $140,000, from $130,000; and the threshold amounts are doubled for families.

  1942. Omar Iw Any detection has to factor in the range. Near sea level, the air is denser so when the jet moving through the air it heat up more. For hover abilities, F-35B has empty weight of about 32,300 lbs hence total thrust from lift fan and main engine would be close to F-35B's empty weight + fuel. When flying with aerodynamic lift, engine power can be set lower e.g. 50 percent of 28,000 lbf (pounds of force). My point, heat generated from engines can be lowered.  https://i.imgur.com/qpJf15El.jpg F-18 has nearly zero effort with thermal signature management i.e. lacking F-35's fuel to cool the body of the aircraft. http://defense-update.com/20160812_f35_thermal.html While the video highlights the extremely hot air exhaust during vertical hovering, it also shows the striking low thermal contrast of the skin, canopy and engine bay, against the sky, which testify to the Lightning II’s effective thermal masking. While the aircraft and exhaust are clearly visible against the sky background in the flypast, it is clear that such image is taken with maximum gain, which isn’t likely to be useful for normal operation. In other shots that are tuned to show the exhaust heat, the aircraft itself almost blends with background, as it would be, when seen in a front view that masks most of the jet exhaust. Low contrast objects would be less detectable by thermal imagers, at long range. For aircraft it also improves protection from heat seeking missiles.

  1944. Behrooz Karimian On 21 August 2013 C-Span reported that Congressional Quarterly and the Government Accountability Office were indicating the "total estimated program cost now is $400b—nearly twice the initial cost". The current investment was documented as approximately $50 billion. The projected $316 billion cost in development and procurement spending was estimated through 2037 at an average of $12.6 billion per year. Rafale's program cost to date is around €45.9 billion (Y2013) with 130 units (June 2014). That's about 61.27 billion USD. F-35's program cost to date is around $50 billion USD (Y2013) with 100 units. Euro currency is higher than USD. There are fighters programs that has similar "cost to date" to F-35 program and France is not buying 2400 units i.e. France's airforce is tiny in comparison to US's airforce. If you read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planned_Canadian_Forces_projects Canada's major planned asset purchases are stuck in no signed contracts status  i.e. it's all talk, talk, talk ...

Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (Russian SFSR) also seceded from USSR. Before Euromaidan, Russia successfully used political and economic leverage to dissuade Ukraine from signing the E.U. deal. In the months prior to the Vilnius summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin engaged in a trade war with Kyiv, blocking nearly all imports from Ukraine and cutting energy supplies to the country. In turn, this reduced Ukrainian exports by 25 percent and shrank the economy by 1.5 percent. According to former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, Ukraine's constitution forbids the country from hosting foreign military bases after 2017. Yanukovych breached the Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17. If Yanukovych didn't sign the military base rental extension, Russia would be kicked out of Crimea.

Immediately after that Greece starts military provocations on the Macedonian-Greece border. 11 December 1991: Ukraine recognizes Croatia. ... 19 December 1991: Germany announces that it will recognize Croatia on January 15, 1992, with or without the rest of the European Community. 23 December 1991: Germany becomes the first major power to recognize Croatia and Slovenia as independent states 15 January 1992: The European Community recognizes Slovenia and Croatia. 21 February 1992: United Nations Security Council Resolution 743 sets up a Protection Force (UNPROFOR) mandated to create three IJN Protected Areas (UNPAs) in Croatia. 30 May 1992: United Nations Security Council Resolution 757 imposed a wide range of economic and political sanctions against Serbia and Montenegro. 14 September 1992: United Nations Security Council Resolution 776 approved the expansion of UNPROFOR into Bosnia, where it was mandated to facilitate the provision of humanitarian aid throughout the region by protecting convoys run by the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). UNPROFOR was also intended to protect convoys of released detainees. 9 October 1992: United Nations Security Council Resolution 781 introduced a No-fly zone (NFZ) for all military flights over Bosnia. ... 7 February 1994: EU Foreign Ministers backed use of NATO airpower if necessary to lift Bosnian Serb siege of Sarajevo. 9 February 1994: At UN request, NATO agreed to authorise air strikes, declared 20 km total exclusion zone around Sarajevo and required Bosnian Serbs to withdraw heavy weapons from zone or place them under UN control within 10 days; also called on Bosnian Government to place heavy weapons in Sarajevo under UN control.

Timeline 21 February 2011: Libyan deputy Permanent Representative to the UN Ibrahim Dabbashi called "on the UN to impose a no-fly zone on all of Tripoli to cut off all supplies of arms and mercenaries to the regime." *23 February 2011: French President Nicolas Sarkozy pushed for the European Union (EU) to pass sanctions against Gaddafi (freezing Gaddafi family funds abroad) and demand he stop attacks against civilians. * >>>> 25 February 2011: Sarkozy said Gaddafi "must go." <<< 26 February 2011: United Nations Security Council Resolution 1970 was passed unanimously, referring the Libyan government to the International Criminal Court for gross human rights violations. It imposed an arms embargo on the country and a travel ban and assets freeze on the family of Muammar Al-Gaddafi and certain Government officials 28 February 2011: British Prime Minister David Cameron proposed the idea of a no-fly zone to prevent Gaddafi from "airlifting mercenaries" and "using his military aeroplanes and armoured helicopters against civilians. 12 March 2011: The Arab League "called on the United Nations Security Council to impose a no-fly zone over Libya in a bid to protect civilians from air attack." The Arab League's request was announced by Omani Foreign Minister Yusuf bin Alawi bin Abdullah, who stated that all member states present at the meeting agreed with the proposal.

  1976.  @cliff311976  >All western Ukraine Nazi elements started to discrimate the Russian speaking population in Ukraine for the last 8 years . For Transnistria, the region's origins can be traced to the Moldavian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, which was formed in 1924 within the Ukrainian SSR. During World War II, the Soviet Union took parts of the Moldavian ASSR, which was dissolved, and of the Kingdom of Romania's Bessarabia to form the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic in 1940. The Moldavian SSR, organised by a decision of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR on 2 August 1940, was formed out of a part of Bessarabia (taken from Romania on 28 June, after the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact) and out of a part of the Moldavian ASSR roughly equivalent to present-day Transnistria. Transnistria was a product of NAZI-Germany's and USSR's Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact. Russia is actually supporting the NAZI-era Molotov–Ribbentrop pact Just on a sidenote: Europeans including Russians do have a common fate: two World Wars. It's a byproduct of the UK and Poland defense agreement that only specified Nazi Germany and it watered down USSR's Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact component EU and NATO will NOT tolerate another Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact. Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact is part of WW2 problem. I wonder who is the real NAZI.

  2009. 737 Max is based on 737 NG. The MCAS workaround is due 737 Max's legacy 737 design coupled with the larger diameter engine upgrades. Because the CFM International LEAP engine used on the 737 MAX was larger and mounted further forward from the wing and higher off the ground than on previous generations of the 737, Boeing discovered that the aircraft had a tendency to push the nose up when operating in a specific portion of the flight envelope (flaps up, high angle of attack, manual flight). MCAS was intended to mimic the flight behavior of the previous Boeing 737 Next Generation. 737 Max should be re-designed for larger engines.

Australia has a 34,000 km coastline and there's no AIP-equipped submarine design that can cover 34,000 km range while deeply submerged. Australia does not have defense treaty with Taiwan, but Australia supplies raw materials to Japan and South Korea, hence Australia needs submarines with long-range shadow escorts capability to enforce its own freedom of navigation.

Knight divulged a little more information about flying basic fighter manoeuvres (BFM) in an F-35. 'When our envelope was cleared to practise BFM we got the opportunity to fight some fourth-generation fighters. Remember, back the rumors were that the F-35 was a pig. The first time the opponents showed up [in the training area] they had wing tanks along with a bunch of missiles. I guess they figured that being in a dirty configuration wouldn't really matter and that they would still easily outmanoeuvre us. By the end of the week, though, they had dropped their wing tanks, transitioned to a single centerline fuel tank and were still doing everything they could not to get gunned by us. A week later they stripped the jets clean of all external stores, which made the BFM fights interesting, to say the least ---- 1.

IF Russia attacks EU/NATO member's shipments and EU supply depots, then NATO Article V can be invoked. IF Russia attacks Norway's shipments and supply depots, then NATO Article V can be invoked. The US also has the infamous "freedom of navigation" foreign policy. For WW1, Germany's attempts to block US trade with the UK has resulted in the WW1 trigger.

Respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders. 2. Refrain from the threat or the use of force against Ukraine. 3. Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine to influence their politics. 4. Seek immediate Security Council action to provide assistance to Ukraine if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used". 5. Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against Ukraine. 6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments. China and France gave somewhat weaker individual assurances in separate documents. Russia has exited Budapest Memorandum. The US and UK are fulfilling points 4 and 6 in accordance with Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum. Budapest Memorandum's security assurances are weaker than NATO's Article V and EU's Article 42.7.

  2073.  @AlexanderStone  The core conflict between Ukraine, and DPR/LPR is based on state language recognition. Ukraine still allows English language schools. LOL Both UK (1) and Australia have English as the official law courts language. 1. The written records of Common Law cases remained in Latin until the Proceedings in Court of Justice Act of 1730 required that English become both the language of pleadings and of the written record of cases in the law courts of the United Kingdom of Great Britain. ---- The only reason why NATO is involved in Ukraine is due to the Budapest Memorandum. With the 1994 Budapest Memorandum, existing nuclear powers (US, UK, Russia) negotiated with Ukraine to disarm its nuclear weapons in exchange for "respecting" Ukrainian territorial integrity. France and China signed a watered-down agreement with Ukraine. Russia has exited from Budapest Memorandum. In 2008, Germany's Angela Merkel blocked Ukraine's NATO membership bid. Ukraine's nuclear disarmament has weakened Ukraine's strategic defense capability, hence US, UK, and France have some responsibility for this situation. Germany has some responsibility for blocking Ukraine's year 2008 NATO membership bid.

  2079. Australia is already at Net Zero. Australian forests absorb 940 million tonnes of carbon dioxide per annum compared to our domestic and industrial emissions of 417 million tonnes. Add to that the absorption of carbon dioxide in continental Australia to the carbon dioxide adsorption of 2,500,000 square kilometers of continental shelf waters and Australia sequesters some five times as much carbon dioxide as it emits. Australia does more than its share of the heavy lifting for the global sequestration of carbon dioxide. Since Australia has a small population for a given land mass, Australia sequesters some five times as much carbon dioxide as it emits. "Big Australia" population model overcome natural absorption of carbon dioxide in continental Australia.

When Russia sells its missile products to Israel's adversarial countries, Israel will also sell missile products to Russia's potential adversaries. Perhaps Israel should sell their Popeye Turbo SLCM (can hit a target with 1500 km range) to Finland and Estonia. Popeye Turbo SLCM can be nuclear weapons armed. The main reason for independent nuclear weapons from US allies such as the UK, France, and Israel is mostly due to the 1956 Suez Canal crisis when the Soviets has threaten to nuke Britain, France, and Israel without US nuclear weapons coverage. Sweden joined the British Team Tempest program. Sweden's government has already condemned Russia's statement on restricting Sweden's NATO membership potential.

Spain is part of PIIGS and it's nearly bankrupt and badly governed nearly like any other Latin American country. Finland is not European colonial power like Spain, the UK, France, and Russia since it's the loser against the Russian empire. Finland is subjugated by Sweden and Russia. Sweden is not European colonial power like Spain, the UK, France, and Russia since it's the loser against the Russian empire i.e. Sweden lost Finland to the Russian empire!

  2159. France has backed Italy’s decision to block COVID-19 vaccine exports to Australia. France has shown its bias towards Italy ahead of Australia. -------------------- A French lawmaker raised questions in the country’s parliament in June about Australian concerns over delays, and whether Australia might be considering submarine alternatives, French government records show. Proving the French were aware of the cost overruns and the failure to complete the design on time had created issues with the Australians. After Australia had spent 2.5 billion dollars for no tangible results. The French asked for an extension nearly two years ago which would extend the design completion date from July 2022 to September 2023. Cost overruns, failure to deliver contractual obligations on time, hostility from the French whenever Australia tried to work out these issues with the French. 2.5 billion dollars and no finished design after five years. That is a cost overrun and all the French lies and tantrums don't change the facts. France failed to honour the contract with Australia. Macron is a lying brat, he should explain why the French have failed to deliver when all they were doing is modifying an existing design from nuclear propulsion to diesel-electric propulsion. After five years and 2.5 billion dollars they did not even finish the design let alone start building the first sub in France as specified by the contract, nor did they start building a shipyard in Adelaide as specified by the contract. Why Australian media is spinning this issue with the French as Australia's fault when the evidence is there for all to see says everything about the Australian media. Whether you love him or hate him, Morrison pull the plug on a scam, a scam that cost Australia 2.5 billion dollars and was only going to get worse, for a submarine that belongs back in the 20th century and does not meet Australia's defence needs in the 21st Century.

Respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders. 2. Refrain from the threat or the use of force against Ukraine. 3. Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine to influence their politics. 4. Seek immediate Security Council action to provide assistance to Ukraine if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used". 5. Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against Ukraine. 6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments. China and France gave somewhat weaker individual assurances in separate documents. Russia has exited Budapest Memorandum. The US and UK are fulfilling points 4 and 6 in accordance with Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum. Budapest Memorandum's security assurances are weaker than NATO's Article V and EU's Article 42.7.

The Parliamentary Assembly of Lusophony is the body that brings together the representations of all the Parliaments of the Member States, constituted on the basis of the respective electoral results of the legislative elections. Lusophone Citizenship Easing citizens' cross-border movement between the member states was proposed at the 2017 CPLP Summit.[30] This proposal by Portugal and Cape Verde to Brazil was thought by some to conflict with Europe's Schengen area. However, this free movement is based on a different model: as residence permits, associated with the recognition of academic degrees and professional qualification, and maintenance of social rights including pension systems. It would henceforth establish Lusophone citizenship. Brazil has a nuclear-powered submarine and Sweden's Gripen E (F-39). As the rising power of Brazil coupled with Portugal partner, the Portuguese speakers have their own transnational Portuguese interest. The relationship between the rising power of Brazil and the smaller Portugal mirrors the relationship between the larger USA and the smaller UK. Brazil has a large landmass (linked to mineral wealth) and a large enough population size to be near super-power. Work in progress CANZUK initiative is the English-speaking version of Lusophone Commonwealth's Lusophone Citizenship. Lusophone Commonwealth's integration has progressed deeper than the CANZUK initiative. Brazil has placed higher importance on Lusophone Commonwealth over BRICS. You're overselling India's importance.

  2227.  @locksmack  >If we assume worst case scenario where 100% of the electricity to charge a Tesla is from coal, the Tesla still has lower emissions than an internal combustion engine car. That’s the beauty of EV efficiency. For CO2 in grams per km But let’s start at the tailpipe, beginning with a regular internal combustion vehicle. A Volkswagen Golf 1.0 TSI is a frugal car, officially emitting 124g/km of CO2. However, we should also consider the CO2 generated by producing the fuel used by this car. This lengthy process varies in emissions depending on where the oil is produced, starting with getting oil to the refinery, refining it, and transporting it to the pump. The average figure for emissions from fuel production was calculated to be 30% extra on top of tailpipe emissions for petrol/gasoline and 24% for diesel by Auke Hoekstra, a senior advisor in smart mobility at Eindhoven University of Technology. In other words, the “well to wheel” emissions for the Golf are 162g/km of CO2. Not terrible, but a considerable bump on the published figure. Next, let’s do a similar calculation for a battery-electric vehicle (BEV). I’m going to choose the Volkswagen ID.3 with the Pro Performance powertrain (58kWh battery and 204PS motor), because it’s a similarly sized vehicle to the Golf and is essentially the latter’s BEV replacement. The ID.3 Pro Performance has a top WLTP energy consumption rating of 250Wh/mile, or 156Wh/km. Obviously, the vehicle itself emits no CO2, but the electricity used to charge the battery does. On average, a kWh of electricity in the UK produced 233g of CO2e in 2019 during generation. This varies a lot worldwide. The US national grid produced 417g per kWh in 2019, and in China the figure was over 600g per kWh. Australia, with one of the world’s worst polluting national grids, generated 656.4g of CO2 per kWh. Taking these figures into account, this would mean the ID.3’s electricity would have produced 36g/km of CO2 in the UK, up to 103g/km in Australia. So even with one of the most polluting national grids, BEVs really are greener “well to wheel” than fossil fuel. ------ Volkswagen Golf 1.0 TSI has CO2 162g/km of CO2. Volkswagen ID.3 has CO2 103g/km in Australia (1). Toyota Prius Hybrid 2018 (on 15-inch wheels) has 78g/km, based on new WLTP testing (2). UK has nuclear power. References 1. Electric Vehicles Are Not Zero Emissions - But They Are Much Greener Than Fossil Fuel And Hydrogen, Forbes, Oct 2021 2.

The judges convicted Frans van Anraat, 63, a Dutch businessman, of complicity in war crimes because they said he had known that the materials he sold to Iraq during the rule of former president Saddam Hussein could be used to make lethal poison gas.

  2254.  @qinby1182  My "Australia doesn't exploit its mineral wealth like China's raw materials to the manufacturing chain" context based on the following news articles From WSJ Date: Aug. 15, 2010 Title: After securing Rare-Earth monopoly, China Dangles Rare-Earth Resources to Lure Investment BEIJING—China is cautiously using rare-earth resources as bait for foreign investment that could bring in sophisticated technologies that it needs. Industry and government officials have begun talking about a Chinese government plan to offer access to its rare-earth resources—which are used in products such as hybrid-car batteries and missiles and are under strict export restrictions—to get companies including electronics manufacturers and auto makers to set up rare-earth-processing plants in China. ---- My comment: China has a government policy that enforces manufacturing located in China when using China's rare earth. Setting up the leverage to use China's rare earth . From Graphite Publications article from 2010. Title: Will chinas Outrageous Rare Earth Monopoly Persist Year Date: 2010. Heavy importers of these REEs such as the U.S., Germany, and Japan believe these rationales disguise China’s true exploitative motive: to force foreign factories to move to China to keep their costs low and their supply high Second, importing countries have been concerned with the agglutination of Chinese mining companies in what appears to be a calculated move to make China’s monopoly even more monopolistic. Most prominently, Bao Gang Rare Earth (BGRE), a state-owned REE company forcibly merged with four smaller companies and numerous smaller companies were shut down to create a monopoly in Northern China which accounts for two-thirds of China’s output. Moreover, China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) decreed minimum production thresholds for domestic companies in early August 2012, essentially truncating the smallest REE producers as well as with 20% of China’s rare earths capacity. ---- Your argument and mindset are simplistic, NOT holistic. You're stupid while China is smart. Australia's increase in rare earth exports is relatively recent and backed by the Australian government's $2 billion state loan facility (Sep 2021) for Australian critical minerals projects.

The United States remained Europe’s top supplier of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in the first 3 months of 2021 as it continued to gain market share at the expense of Russia and Qatar, Europe’s second- and third-largest sources of LNG, according to the EU Commission’s latest European Gas Market Report. The US supplied 24% (4.2 Bcm) of the EU’s overall LNG imports (17 Bcm in Q1 2021); Russia placed second at 21% (3.7 Bcm); and Qatar was third at 18% (3.1 Bcm), the EU Commission reported in early July. When compared to Q4 2020, the US picked up 2% market share from January to March this year, while Russia bested Qatar to become Europe’s second-largest LNG supplier. Nigeria placed fourth, followed by Algeria and Trinidad and Tobago. A review of EU Commission reports dating back to 2019 reveals a steady quarter-to-quarter decline in Europe’s LNG purchases while it also documents the growing rivalry between the US and Russia, Qatar’s fall from dominance, and the emergence of the US as Europe’s top LNG supplier starting Q4 2019. The EU is the world’s third-largest LNG market, though its imports amounted to only about half that of Japan (36 Bcm) and China (32 Bcm) in Q1 2021. European gas consumption rose 7.6% to 132 Bcm in Q1 based on a year-on-year comparison. The commission noted that demand for gas as fuel to generate electricity rose 3.4%, also year-on-year (increasing by 4.9 TWh.)

Kurdistan was divided into three parts and diluted with other groups i.e. Syria, Iraq, and Iran. Iran should have east Iraq's Shia majority. Iran's east should be allocated to either Afghanistan or Pakistan. Kurdistan should have northern Iran, northern Iraq, and north-east Syria. Iraq's southern areas have a Sunni Arab majority and should be allocated to Saudi Arabia. As long as Turkey is in NATO, the status quo holds. The US could dump the UK/France/Turkey post WW1 agreement to redraw the map in their ethnic lines. This is why the UK establishment doesn't want wildcard Trump.

  2291.  @vaibhav07  Myth 1: NATO promised Russia it would not expand after the Cold War Fact: Such an agreement was never made. NATO’s door has been open to new members since it was founded in 1949 – and that has never changed. This “Open Door Policy” is enshrined in Article 10 of NATO’s founding treaty, which says “any other European State in a position to further the principles of this Treaty and to contribute to the security of the North Atlantic” can apply for membership. Decisions on membership are taken by consensus among all Allies. No treaty signed by the United States, Europe and Russia included provisions on NATO membership. The idea of NATO expansion beyond a united Germany was not on the agenda in 1989, particularly as the Warsaw Pact still existed. This was confirmed by Mikhail Gorbachev in an interview in 2014: "The topic of 'NATO expansion' was not discussed at all, and it wasn't brought up in those years. I say this with full responsibility. Not a single Eastern European country raised the issue, not even after the Warsaw Pact ceased to exist in 1991. Western leaders didn't bring it up, either." Declassified White House transcripts also reveal that, in 1997, Bill Clinton consistently refused Boris Yeltsin's offer of a 'gentlemen's agreement' that no former Soviet Republics would enter NATO: "I can't make commitments on behalf of NATO, and I'm not going to be in the position myself of vetoing NATO expansion with respect to any country, much less letting you or anyone else do so…NATO operates by consensus."

Add to that the absorption of carbon dioxide in continental Australia to the carbon dioxide adsorption of 2,500,000 square kilometers of continental shelf waters and Australia sequesters some five times as much carbon dioxide as it emits. Australia does more than its share of the heavy lifting for the global sequestration of carbon dioxide. Since Australia has a small population and weak heavy industrial capacity for a given land mass, Australia sequesters some five times as much carbon dioxide as it emits.

They included three to enlarge the area of Qing control in Inner Asia: two against the Dzungars (1755–1757) and the "pacification" of Xinjiang (1758–1759). The other seven campaigns were more in the nature of police actions on frontiers already established: two wars to suppress the Gyalrong of Jinchuan, Sichuan, another to suppress the Taiwanese Aboriginals (1787–88), and four expeditions abroad against the Burmese (1765–1769), the Vietnamese (1788–1789), and the Gurkhas on the border between Tibet and Nepal (1790–1792), with the last counting as two.

  2337.  @kerrynball2734  >Yalta defined post war Europe That's false. Read "Treaty on the Final Settlement with Respect to Germany". Fact: Only six countries have signed Treaty on the Final Settlement with Respect to Germany. In 1990, six countries – East and West Germany, the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain and France – held discussions on the reunification of Germany. The Germans, Americans, British, and French agreed that there would be “no deployment of non-German NATO forces on the territory of the former GDR (East Germany)“. That agreement was incorporated in Article 5 of the Treaty on the Final Settlement with Respect to Germany, which was signed on 12 September 1990 by the six countries : Until Soviet forces had completed their withdrawal from the former GDR, only German territorial defense units not integrated into NATO would be deployed in that territory. There would be no increase in the numbers of troops or equipment of U.S., British and French forces stationed in Berlin. Once Soviet forces had withdrawn, German forces assigned to NATO could be deployed in the former GDR, but foreign forces and nuclear weapons systems would not be deployed there. US/NATO military bases in Germany remained in West Germany.

  2343.  @whitezombie10  > The soviet union never wanted a war For Transnistria, the region's origins can be traced to the Moldavian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, which was formed in 1924 within the Ukrainian SSR. During World War II, the Soviet Union took parts of the Moldavian ASSR, which was dissolved, and of the Kingdom of Romania's Bessarabia to form the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic in 1940. The Moldavian SSR, organised by a decision of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR on 2 August 1940, was formed out of a part of Bessarabia (taken from Romania on 28 June, after the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact) and out of a part of the Moldavian ASSR roughly equivalent to present-day Transnistria. Transnistria was a product of NAZI-Germany's and USSR's Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact. Russia is actually supporting the NAZI-era Molotov–Ribbentrop pact Europeans including Russians do have a common fate: two World Wars. NAZI-Germany's and USSR's Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact started WW2 i.e. both Nazi Germany and USSR invaded Poland!

In the late 15th century, the Muscovite Grand Dukes began taking over former Kievan territories and proclaimed themselves the sole legal successors of the Kievan principality according to the protocols of the medieval theory of translatio imperii. VS On the western periphery, Kievan Rus' was succeeded by the Principality of Galicia-Volhynia. Later, as these territories, now part of modern central Ukraine and Belarus, fell to the Gediminids, the powerful, largely Ruthenized Grand Duchy of Lithuania drew heavily on Rus' cultural and legal traditions. From 1398 until the Union of Lublin in 1569 its full name was the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, Ruthenia and Samogitia.] Due to the fact of the economic and cultural core of Rus' being located on the territory of modern Ukraine, Ukrainian historians and scholars consider Kievan Rus' to be a founding Ukrainian state.

I quote (Blum, 1992): Furthermore, in Article 1 of the fifth declaration, entitled ‘On UN Membership’, the eleven signatories agreed that ‘Member states of the Commonwealth support Russia in taking over the USSR membership in the UN, including permanent membership in the Security Council.’

Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine to influence their politics. 4. Seek immediate Security Council action to provide assistance to Ukraine if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used". 5. Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against Ukraine. 6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments. China and France gave somewhat weaker individual assurances in separate documents. Russia has exited Budapest Memorandum.

From graphitepublications.com/will-chinas-outrageous-rare-earth-monopoly-persist/ China's rare earth near-monopoly was built on SOE (state-own enterprise) which driven private competitors from the market. Rare earth is important for the electronics component production logistics chain. From forbes.com/sites/douglasbulloch/2016/10/12/protectionism-may-be-rising-around-the-world-but-in-china-it-never-went-away/#5dc3f5df73da Protectionism May Be Rising Around The World, But In China It Never Went Away Promises unkept? Since joining the WTO in 2001, China has repeatedly insisted that it will live up to those undertakings made on entry. In particular, the use of currency manipulation has been identified by the US as a breech of the commitment to end price controls for the purposes of protecting domestic industries. This became a major political issue from 2005 onwards, and has only recently subsided because it is assumed that the RMB is slightly overvalued on the market. Nevertheless, for years it was deliberate policy for the PBoC to accumulate US Dollars and suppress the exchange rate for the RMB, resulting in exactly the price distortions China had committed to eliminate in 2001, and fuelling an enormous trade surplus with the US, which persists and expands to this day. Furthermore TRIPS implementation has been given some effect on paper, but has made little progress when it comes to 'enforcement.' This is (according to the WTO) as recently as February 2015, fully 14 years after TRIPS was supposed to be already in effect. The US Trade Representative produces an annual report to Congress on China's WTO compliance which leaves little room to conclude they have so far lived up to their accession commitments. The most recent several-hundred-page document - produced in December 2015 - recites a long list of small measures, committees established, announcements made and new administrative complications faced, all continuing disputes over an agreement theoretically in effect since 2001. Although, therefore, protectionism is rising around the world, it is also true to say that existing practices of protectionism have not fallen in the way that they should have since China's accession to the WTO in 2001. Because of this lack of progress in easing trade, the extended period of currency manipulation, the lack of observance of TRIPS and the sheer administrative resistance exporters face when trying to get their products into China, we now face of world of highly unbalanced trade, and rising mistrust. And it is this that is leading to rising protectionism; the simple fact that it never went away. --------------- Note that Australia created its universal health care system without the Communist-style mass stealing i.e. built a parallel system to the private health care system. Australia's universal health care system does not compete in international trade.

  2463.  @tomogburn2462  Not correct, from econlib.org/archives/2004/06/milton_friedman_1.html In an interview, Milton Friedman explains why shifting education and health care from the market to the government is inefficient. Milton Friedman is against government-run health care. Milton Friedman assumes the market will behave, which contradicted Australia's capitalist nanny to keep the market honest and efficient. Milton Friedman's argument is bullshit. Australia's health care administration efficiency (ranked 1st) murdered the US's health care system's administration efficiency. From theconversation.com/why-biologics-were-such-a-big-deal-in-the-trans-pacific-partnership-48595 During the Obama-Biden administration, Australia's center-right wing (Liberal-National Coalition) federal government has identified the US "data-exclusivity-medications" condition as the killer to their universal health care system. Australia's medical patent system also supports the private insurance system's cost controls. Obama-Biden Democrats attempted to wreak Australia's single-payer health care system which caused the center-right wing (Liberal-National Coalition) federal government to defend Australia's health care system! Australia implements its universal health service with the aid of "the ideal market competition" principles while the classic socialism approach would have nationalized the drug companies. Australia's NIB (private insurance) managing director/CEO Mark Fitzgibbon (with Harvard Business School education in Global Strategic Management masters degree) who argued for the removal of Australia's Medicare system, which caused the center-right wing (Liberal-National Coalition) federal government to defend Australia's health care system with an "over my dead body" counter reply. Mark Fitzgibbon wants Australia to adopt US-style Obama care with private insurance overhead. DO NOT copy and paste American politics on another country's conservatives. PS; I do support the CANZUK initiative (with a combined population size of 134 million) as an alternative to the USA. Churchhill is a conservative-liberal.

That's bullshit. The Democratic Party is in government at both state and majority levels. Hint: Ban knee-to-the-neck tactics. >And of course you'll try to assert china is anything but corportatist. Funny. That's bullshit. CCP is a hypocrite when it has higher protectionist policies while complaining about Australia's reciprocal protectionist policies e.g. Australian entities can't buy land nor invest in certain sectors such as farming and mining in China, hence a no-brainer when countries imposed reciprocal investment restrictions.

DEMOCRATS are in government at the two levels and there are no excuses for you. Keep blaming GOP without taking responsibility for the DEMOCRATIC party's governance = continual shit results. DEMOCRATIC party's Super Delegates system is not democratic. Knee-to-the-neck tactics should have been banned a long time ago e.g. handcuff and leg cuff/rope to the legs tactics. George Floyd's white-collar crime (i.e. fake money) should NOT have ended in death. Ruling Democrats should be able to change operational tactics for the police department, but they are incompetent. For the US context, the US Federal level government wouldn't be handling mayor-level administration like the local police department. This is basic civics 101 and I'm not even an American.

  2468.  @personaa422  >overfunding of the police Overfunding of the police argument means little when good funding does NOT equal good administration.

I'm not an American, but I voted against GOP-style IR in 2007's Australian politics. Australia's current center-right federal government has defended Australia's dual universal and private health care system against the Obama-Biden administration's BS. It's interesting (and funny at the same) to see Hollywood actors from the US supporting Australia's dual universal and private health care system i.e. two systems, one country model. LOL. I should credit Australia's dual universal and private health care system to our ex-PM Paul Keating (Australian Labor party) when he was in the treasurer position. Paul Keating's crushed** doctor's associations (union), private insurance associations, and big pharma associations (for patent reforms) to implement Australia's universal health care system. **Created a separate system in parallel to the existing private system method instead of a classic socialism's nationalization method. Obama care is like Australia's Medibank system in the 1970s with runaway cost blowout. Australia's Medibank system was replaced by the Medicare system in the 1980s. US's health care system evolution is many years behind when compared to A-NZ's health care systems.

  2469.  @personaa422  >And I agree, police aggression and violence should have been banned ages ago.

Who were the ones pushing for those changes? Oh right, leftists. Leftists "defund the police" and "BLM's bend the knee" arguments wouldn't win the moderates. Enforcing state laws to be applied to the police is better e.g. death should be executed in accordance with the law i.e. white-collar crimes should NOT have resulted in a death, hence the police department's aggressive tactics are actually lawless. The argument can be framed differently. Demand a professional police service instead of a crap police service. Police service should be keepers of the law and to be peacekeepers. The US's hard blue/hard red politics entrenches hard positions. Note that BLM's politics has been banned by more than 70% of IOC's country-based membership.

Royal African Company shipped more African slaves to the Americas than any other company in the history of the Atlantic slave trade until 1731. On 25 March 1807, King George III signed into law the Act for the Abolition of the Slave Trade. Royal African Company (RAC) was an English mercantile (trading) company set up in 1660 by the royal Stuart family and City of London merchants to trade along the west coast of Africa. House of Stuart's final ruler was Anne, Queen of Great Britain in 1714. Queen Anne died childless, House of Stuart was replaced by the House of Hanover. The current British royal family can be traced back to the House of Hanover. George III is a member of the House of Hanover. The reform has been implemented by the House of Hanover's George III.

  2520.  @alone-tt8dg6ic6f  The Philippines says it is ready to open the country’s military facilities to America should the conflict in Ukraine spread into Asia, the country’s ambassador to the United States said yesterday. Ambassador Jose Manuel Romualdez told reporters during an online forum that President Rodrigo Duterte made the remarks in a recent meeting in Manila. If the U.S. asks for support, the shoot-from-the-hip president “was very clear that – if push comes to shove – the Philippines will be ready to be part of the effort, especially if this Ukrainian crisis spills over to the Asian region,” Romualdez said, according to a report from BenarNews. Specifically, Romualdez said that Duterte indicated that in the event of an “emergency situation” the Philippines would allow the U.S. forces to return to the former naval station at Subic Bay and the nearby Clark Air Base, gargantuan U.S. facilities that were mothballed at the end of the Cold War. “He offered that the Philippines will be ready to open its doors, especially to our ally the U.S. in using our facilities, any facilities they may need,” Romualdez said. ---- You are wrong.

Hint: the US government is less dependent on natural gas revenues when compared to Russia!

  2524.  @mam0lechinookclan607  The United States remained Europe’s top supplier of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in the first 3 months of 2021 as it continued to gain market share at the expense of Russia and Qatar, Europe’s second- and third-largest sources of LNG, according to the EU Commission’s latest European Gas Market Report. The US supplied 24% (4.2 Bcm) of the EU’s overall LNG imports (17 Bcm in Q1 2021); Russia placed second at 21% (3.7 Bcm); and Qatar was third at 18% (3.1 Bcm), the EU Commission reported in early July. When compared to Q4 2020, the US picked up 2% market share from January to March this year, while Russia bested Qatar to become Europe’s second-largest LNG supplier. Nigeria placed fourth, followed by Algeria and Trinidad and Tobago. A review of EU Commission reports dating back to 2019 reveals a steady quarter-to-quarter decline in Europe’s LNG purchases while it also documents the growing rivalry between the US and Russia, Qatar’s fall from dominance, and the emergence of the US as Europe’s top LNG supplier starting Q4 2019. The EU is the world’s third-largest LNG market, though its imports amounted to only about half that of Japan (36 Bcm) and China (32 Bcm) in Q1 2021. European gas consumption rose 7.6% to 132 Bcm in Q1 based on a year-on-year comparison. The commission noted that demand for gas as fuel to generate electricity rose 3.4%, also year-on-year (increasing by 4.9 TWh.)

  2573.  @eliso5973  Participating countries in a total war situation, the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) restriction is rendered useless. The problem for defending countries is the R&D time for reaching a working nuclear bomb along with its delivery platform after a hot war is started. Russia betting on Ukraine's underfunded R&D and longer duration time for building a working nuclear bomb and its delivery platform. The US, UK, and Russia signed Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum that traded Ukraine's nuclear weapons for security assurances. The US made a security assurance for Taiwan in exchange for Taiwan halting its nuclear weapons program. The US made a security assurance for Japan in exchange for Japan halting its nuclear weapons program. The US made a security assurance for South Korea in exchange for South Korea halting its nuclear weapons program. The US made a security assurance for Australia in exchange for Australia halting its nuclear weapons program and exiting its partnership with the UK's nuclear weapon program. The UK, France, and Israel don't trust US security assurances after the Suez Canal incident i.e. allowing USSR to threaten a nuclear attack on UK, France, and Israel after the US withdraws nuclear umbrella protections. US EXIT from Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum has a negative outcome for US allies being in the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT). Russia has exited Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum. Many Republicans want EXIT from Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum without paying compensation for the lost R&D time. Trump argued for US nuclear umbrella protection EXIT for South Korea and Japan. Trump doesn't give a damn about South Korea's and Japan's democratic status. Many economically advanced countries with reserve nuclear weapon capability can develop a nuclear bomb in 6 months to 2 years, and a delivery platform needs to be created at the same time. 6 month to 2 years gap could mean the end of the country's independent existence by "old world" imperialist powers. Unlike the US, "old world" imperialist powers like Putin's Russia plays for keeps and they don't maintain another country's territorial integrity. There are no formal territorial assurance agreements between Australia and China. Both current China nor Russia doesn't support the status quo and it shows by their actions i.e. words are cheap.

  2599.  @clo5282  Q: So why isn’t Russia a member of NATO? A: Despite Russia signaling its interest to join NATO, there has since been a lot of tension between them. “Once Russia can show it is upholding democracy and human rights, NATO can seriously consider its membership,”says Rasmussen, the former Danish Prime Minister who served as NATO Secretary General from 2009 to 2014. In the meantime, he adds “we tried to build strong cooperation with Moscow.” He cites the 2002 Russia-NATO council, a development of the 1997 Act, which serves as a mechanism for cooperation, consensus building and joint-decision making. “We do share common interests. We cooperated on counter terrorism in Afghanistan, counter narcotics and counter piracy,” says Rasmussen. ---- For Transnistria, the region's origins can be traced to the Moldavian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, which was formed in 1924 within the Ukrainian SSR. During World War II, the Soviet Union took parts of the Moldavian ASSR, which was dissolved, and of the Kingdom of Romania's Bessarabia to form the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic in 1940. The Moldavian SSR, organised by a decision of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR on 2 August 1940, was formed out of a part of Bessarabia (taken from Romania on 28 June, after the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact) and out of a part of the Moldavian ASSR roughly equivalent to present-day Transnistria. Transnistria was a product of NAZI-Germany's and USSR's Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact. Russia is actually supporting the NAZI-era Molotov–Ribbentrop pact ---- Russia's NATO membership was frozen due to the 1992 Russo-Moldovan (Transnistria) and 2008 Russo-Georgian conflicts. From Transnistria War, Putin's 2022 tactics against Ukraine weren't original since Boris Yeltsin has employed them in 1992. Boris Yeltsin's Russia replaced Warsaw Pact with Collective Security Treaty Organisation (CSTO) in 1992, but countries like Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, and Bulgaria have PTSD against Russia.

  2607.  @masterbaiter0fthebait572  Less than 1 year from October 2001 to 2002. The US officially invaded on 7 October 2001 by launching Operation Enduring Freedom. Fifteen days after the 9/11 attack, the US covertly inserted members of the CIA's Special Activities Division into Afghanistan, forming the Northern Afghanistan Liaison Team. They linked up with the Northern Alliance in the Panjshir Valley north of Kabul. In October, 12-man Special Forces teams began arriving in Afghanistan to work with the CIA and Northern Alliance. Within a few weeks the Northern Alliance, with assistance from the US ground and air forces, captured several key cities from the Taliban. The Taliban retreated throughout the country, holding steady only in Kunduz Province, outmatched by US air support. By November, the Taliban had lost control of most of the country. At the Bonn Conference in December 2001, Hamid Karzai was selected to head the Afghan Interim Administration.

  2700.  @stagg2158  France does not participate in NATO's nuclear planning mechanisms and its forces are not formally assigned to NATO. NATO Allies retain political control of all aspects of nuclear decision-making. The Nuclear Planning Group (NPG), founded in 1966, is the main forum to discuss nuclear issues within NATO. While the North Atlantic Council is the ultimate authority within NATO, the NPG acts as the senior body on nuclear matters. The NPG reviews the Alliance’s nuclear policy, including the safety, security, and survivability of nuclear weapons, and communications and information systems. Irrespective of whether or not they have nuclear weapons, all Allies are members of the NPG with the exception of France, which has decided not to participate.

Due to the US CARB states, the US went full electric direction with Tesla leading the change and large-scale EV charging infrastructure construction. Tesla-Panasonic has an early start in establishing long-led lithium supply contacts in multiple countries, hence the production EV advantage when compared to the competition. Using large-scale state intervention, China Inc tried to catch up against Tesla. China, the US, Canada, Australia, and Chile have lithium supply advantages. Canada, Australia, and Chile are with Japan in the CPTPP.

  2773.  @oogdhugee_3072  What is a refugee The 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees (the 1951 Refugee Convention) is the key international legal document defining who is a refugee, their rights and the legal obligations of countries that are signatories to the 1951 Refugee Convention. Article 1A(2) of the 1951 Refugee Convention defines a ‘refugee’ as: a person who is outside his country of nationality or habitual residence has a well-founded fear of persecution because of his race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group or political opinion, and is unable or unwilling to avail himself of the protection of that country, or to return there, for fear of persecution. A Convention ‘refugee’ is different from an ‘asylum seeker’ because the former has had their asylum claims assessed and been found to satisfy the above definition. This assessment can be done by a country that has acceded to the 1951 Refugee Convention or by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). There is no such thing as a ‘genuine refugee’. A refugee by technical definition is simply someone who has been recognised as satisfying the above Convention definition. Further, a person is a refugee within the meaning of the 1951 Convention as soon as they satisfy the above definition. This might actually occur before their refugee status is formally determined by a country or the UNHCR. Refugee status is therefore declaratory in nature—in that a refugee does not become a refugee because they have been recognised to be one but rather, they are recognised because they are a refugee.

Respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders. 2. Refrain from the threat or the use of force against Ukraine. 3. Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine to influence their politics. 4. Seek immediate Security Council action to provide assistance to Ukraine if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used". 5. Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against Ukraine. 6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments. China and France gave somewhat weaker individual assurances in separate documents. Russia has exited Budapest Memorandum.

  2797.  @Botzorz  Any idealogy has to pass the race neutrality test. This is a simple concept to understand. Marx's Jw blaming statement is the same as Hilter's Jw blaming statement. Both failed the race neutrality tests. Both ideologies come from the same loser Germany. Imperial Japan's Yamato race theory was racist against other east Asians.

  2799.  @Botzorz  Against your "Whatever race is in power does what is best for them to the exclusion of others, it will always be that way". Your statement is FALSE when East Asians in the US rivals Whites' income levels which is no surprise considering the top GDP countries includes Japan, South Korea, and China along with White majorities EU and USA.

  2800.  @Botzorz  I might point out, Australia's convicts' population started from very poor who steals bread and was thrown from the UK. It took hard work to move Australia to rival UK's income per capita. Your "white privilege" argument is false. The statement "Without a government taking things from whichever indigenous group wouldn't be to difficult" is wrong when Australia is compared to Papua New Guinea with a native population majority.

British East India Company was suppose to facilitate sea trade which ended up governing India. UK government dismantled British East India Company when it reached state governance power. British East India Company was nationalized as the British Raj. British East India Company example is the backdoor to dictatorship. 3. For the most cases, taxes are used to fund government services which includes state law enforcement via the police service and legal system. Your arguments are absurd.

  2808.  @RobinEvans1234  1. Directly comparing West Germany vs East Germany and both states started from near ground zero after WW2, your argument falls apart. 2. The major reason for Eastern European countries being less wealthy when compared to Western Europe is Communism ideologies in the Eastern European countries.. The impact from Soviet Communist economic influence over less wealthy Eastern European countries are still being felt to this day. Your argument falls apart.
    2
  2809.  @RobinEvans1234  Your UN study didn't factor in the cultural influences over the major economic doctrines. For example, both Australia and Papua New Guinea (with native population majority) started from similar hunter gathering society, Australia's wealth development outpaced Papua New Guinea. Australia's convicts was poor who steals bread to survive and thrown out from the UK.

  2810.  @RobinEvans1234  1. Capitalism enforcement in nation states is to stop neighbors from stealing from neighbors. 2. The basic lesson for capitalism is a squirrel gathering and storing food. Most animals store excess food as fats and it's a hedge against periodic lack of food.

South Korea = wealthy North Korea = less wealthy After WW2 and the Korean war, both Korean state started from the same burnout wreaked state. Both German and Korean examples are based from similar ethnicity group. As for Australia vs Papua New Guinea (with native population majority), I remind you that Australia started at a near zero wealth condition. Overtime, Australians copied the British maritime mercantilism. UK style maritime mercantilism template is also true for maritime power like Japan. The real ignorance comes from you.

  2819.  @RobinEvans1234  Read https://www.quora.com/How-did-Germany-helped-the-Russian-revolution Refer to Ann Hag's post German Kaizer Wilhelm fully financed the Russian revolution in order to put the Russian emperor Nicolas down and to pull the Russian empire out of the ww1. The German imperial treasury approved 2 million marks "to support revolution in Russia in 1910." Bolsheviks were getting not only propaganda support from Kaiser Wilhelm . Weapons and dynamite also crossed the border. With the help of these "presents from Germany," ships were sunk in Archangelsk and ports were set alight. Lenin’s actions were coordinated by the German ambassador in Copenhagen, Count Ulrich von Brockdorff-Rantzau. Kaiser Wilhelm II had spent around half a billion euros ($582 million) in today's money supporting Lenin to successfully destroy Russian empire. Even after the revolution 1917 Kaiser’s army continue to put their military affords to reinforce Lenin’ new government, to foster bolshevik resilience and empowerment. Without the help of professional german army bolsheviks would be easily defeated by the russian peasantry. Example: After the revolution in July 1918 experienced German officers bombed and fully destroyed Yaroslavl city in the sake to establish there the bolshevik regimen. It is well documented case of how resultatively Germans fought for bolsheviks . ------------------ It's a full-blown proxy war between the West's White Russia vs Kaiser funded Bolsheviks.

  2820.  @RobinEvans1234  Your "Germans only supported the Bolsheviks extremely reluctantly in a desperate act of realpolitik" statement is a no-brainer. 1. The fact remains that the Kaiser's Prussian government has its motivation to destabilised the Tsar's government via the asymmetric method. Read Sun Tzu's The Art of War 2. Your "14 capitalist States literally invading on the side of reaction" narrative hides the supporters for White Russia, the separatists, bolsheviks, and central axis powers. Your narrative talks about "14 capitalist States literally invading on the side of reaction" when part of the Russian civil war are separatists who fighting against imperialist Russian invaders e.g. Poland, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and 'etc'.

John Hyten an US Air Force general NOT US Navy admiral https://www.popularmechanics.com/military/research/a27045/raytheon-hypersonic-weapon-defense/ Raytheon makes three types of ballistic missile interceptors, the SM-3 Block 1B midcourse interceptors that intercept incoming warheads at very high altitudes and the Standard SM-6 and Patriot PAC-3 terminal phase interceptors that destroy warheads as they near their targets. A successful hypersonic defense would likely use both types of interceptors to provide a layered defense system. PAC-3 = US Army SM3 = US Navy USAF wants their share i.e. USAF has very little on missile defence, hence USAF wants hypersonic missiles.

  2845.  @dukedase7  Poland has a communist centrally planned economy. In total, 31,000 km2 of land were nationalised in Poland and 5 million in the former German territories, out of which 12,000 km2 were redistributed to farmers and the rest remained in the hands of the government (Most of this was eventually used in the collectivization and creation of sovkhoz-like State Agricultural Farms "PGR"). However, the collectivization of Polish farming never reached the same extent as it did in the Soviet Union or other countries of the Eastern Bloc.[17] Nationalisation began in 1944, with the pro-Soviet government taking over industries in the newly acquired territories along with the rest of the country. As nationalization was unpopular, the communists delayed the nationalization reform until 1946, when after the 3xTAK referendums they were fairly certain they had total control of the state and could deal a heavy blow to eventual public protests. Some semi-official nationalisation of various private enterprises had begun also in 1944. In 1946, all enterprises with over 50 employees were nationalised, with no compensation to Polish owners.[18] ------ Your "Poland never had communism" argument is bullshit!

France and China signed a watered-down Budapest Memorandum. Budapest Memorandum requires Ukraine to join Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty as part of Ukraine's nuclear WMD disarmament. Tucker is ignorant of Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum. Did you know Australia has similar security assurances like Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum and Australia does NOT have a NATO Article V level guarantee with the US?

The Ten Great Campaigns (Chinese: 十全武功; pinyin: Shíquán Wǔgōng) were a series of military campaigns launched by the Qing dynasty of China in the mid–late 18th century during the reign of the Qianlong Emperor (r. 1735–1796). They included three to enlarge the area of Qing control in Inner Asia: two against the Dzungars (1755–1757) and the "pacification" of Xinjiang (1758–1759). The other seven campaigns were more in the nature of police actions on frontiers already established: two wars to suppress the Gyalrong of Jinchuan, Sichuan, another to suppress the Taiwanese Aboriginals (1787–88), and four expeditions abroad against the Burmese (1765–1769), the Vietnamese (1788–1789), and the Gurkhas on the border between Tibet and Nepal (1790–1792), with the last counting as two. President Xi's argument is based on historical Imperial China's Ten Great Campaigns (Chinese: 十全武功; pinyin: Shíquán Wǔgōng). China current's territorial dispute is based on Imperial China's Ten Great Campaigns. History is repeating itself.

AUKUS's tech providers come from both UK (with new builds i.e. SSN-Aukus) and the US (three to five existing Virginia-class builds). SSN-Aukus is a combination of a UK submarine design platform and US defence technology. China didn't condemn Brazil's Fench aid nuclear-powered submarine since it's a BRICS member. Russia leased its nuclear-powered submarines to India. Russia supported nuclear-power tech for India. China supported nuclear power tech for Pakistan. Since the 1970s, China has been instrumental in Pakistan's nuclear and missile programs. China provided Pakistan with highly enriched uranium, ring magnets necessary for processing the uranium, and education for nuclear engineers. Pakistan's nuclear bomb, in fact, is widely believed to be based on Chinese blueprints. Look in the mirror, hypocrite.

While China has made progress, some problems remain: a lack of transparency industrial policies and non-tariff measures that discriminate against foreign companies strong government intervention in the economy, resulting in a dominant position of state-owned firms, unequal access to subsidies and cheap financing poor protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights In 2016 the EU adopted a new strategy on China mapping out the European Union's relationship with China for the next five years. The Strategy promotes reciprocity, a level playing field and fair competition across all areas of co-operation. The strategy also includes a trade agenda with a strong focus on improving market access opportunities – including negotiations on a Comprehensive Agreement on Investment. It also deals with overcapacity and calling on China to engage with ambition at multilateral level. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-eu-steel-china/eu-raises-import-duties-on-chinese-steel-angering-beijing-idUSKBN1780VU EU already raises import duties on Chinese steel in 2017.

China played rare earth dumping game i.e. it sent non-Chinese competitors to the wall and if a foreign company want to use Chinese rare earth, China puts pressure on the foreign company to partner with local Chinese company which lead to IP transfer. 3, http://nationalinterest.org/blog/the-buzz/scary-statistic-chinas-debt-gdp-ratio-reached-257-percent-22824 According to the Bank for International Settlements, China’s debt to GDP ratio reached 257 per cent in 2017, higher than the United States’ 152 per cent China has copied US debt addiction.

In the meantime, he adds “we tried to build strong cooperation with Moscow.” He cites the 2002 Russia-NATO council, a development of the 1997 Act, which serves as a mechanism for cooperation, consensus building and joint-decision making. “We do share common interests. We cooperated on counter terrorism in Afghanistan, counter narcotics and counter piracy,” says Rasmussen.

  2964. In the mid-2000s, Colombo (the commercial capital of Sri Lanka) agreed to let Beijing build a new port from scratch in the town of Hambantota, in the south of the island. It wasn’t yet thought of as part of a new Silk Road -- that programme was conceptualizsed by Xi Jinping in 2012 -- but all the ingredients were there. "Chinese funds and engineers are mobilised to build infrastructure outside China, as part of a partnership that was meant to be win-win: this is the very definition of the rationale of the Silk Road," said Jean-François Dufour, economist and director of DCA China-Analysis. The Chinese president integrated the Sri Lankan project into his Silk Road initiative in 2013. But in 2015, financial clouds began gathering over the future of Hambantota’s port, which cost $1.1 billion. Sri Lanka was crumbling under the debt, and was unable to repay the more than $8 billion in loans it had taken from China for several infrastructure projects in the country. Furious, Beijing turned up the heat and threatened to cut off financial support to the island nation if it didn’t quickly find a solution. In December, 2017, after two years of negotiations, Colombo finally agreed to turn over the port to China for 99 years in exchange for the cancellation of its debt. The concession was humiliating for Sri Lanka, while "the opponents of China, like India, painted the entire operation as a deliberate plan to acquire strategic positions in the region," Dufour said. China was suspected of intentionally strangling Colombo with loans at a 6 percent interest rate, which was much higher than the other lenders - such as the World Bank – from which Colombo had previously borrowed. ------ Sri Lanka sided with CHina.

  2967.  @deniscicic8074  For Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum context, Russia, the US, and the UK confirmed their Ukraine becoming parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and effectively abandoning their nuclear arsenal to Russia and that they would: 1. Respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders. 2. Refrain from the threat or the use of force against Ukraine. 3. Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine to influence their politics. 4. Seek immediate Security Council action to provide assistance to Ukraine if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used". 5. Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against Ukraine. 6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments. China and France gave somewhat weaker individual assurances in separate documents. Russia has exited Budapest Memorandum. The US and UK are fulfilling points 4 and 6 in accordance with Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum. Budapest Memorandum's security assurances are weaker than NATO's Article V and EU's Article 42.7. Are you arguing for the US to abandon the Budapest Memorandum?

  2979.  @edytan.932  Date: March 2017 Kurdistan’s Interior Minister said on Tuesday the Regional Government since its formation had demanded from the federal government to pay compensation to the families of Kurdish victims who suffered genocide, killing, and displacement from the former Iraqi regime. Rebar Ahmed stressed during the Parliament session that in 2014 “we decided to announce Halabja as a governorate,… but perhaps the big problem facing Halabja is that Iraq is not yet ready to recognize it as a governorate. Therefore, the federal government did not allocate a financial budget for it.” Ahmed continued that when the first Kurdish delegation went to Baghdad, it delivered the Prime Minister a request to compensate the victims of the people of Kurdistan with 380 billion dollars for the crimes committed by Saddam Hussein's regime in Halabja, Anfal and to Barzanis, Faili Kurds, and all victims of Baath crimes. The Halabja chemical attack, also known as the Halabja Massacre or Bloody Friday was a massacre of Kurdish people that took place on 16 March 1988, during the closing days of the Iran–Iraq War in the Kurdish city of Halabja in Iraqi Kurdistan. The attack was part of the Al-Anfal Campaign in Kurdistan, as well as part of the Iraqi Army's attempt to repel the Iranian Operation Zafar 7. It took place 48 hours after the capture of the town by the Iranian Army. A United Nations (UN) medical investigation concluded that mustard gas was used in the attack, along with unidentified nerve agents. The incident was the largest chemical weapons attack directed against a civilian-populated area in history, killing between 3,200 and 5,000 people and injuring 7,000 to 10,000 more, most of them civilians. Preliminary results from surveys of the affected region showed an increased rate of cancer and birth defects in the years afterward. The Halabja attack has been officially defined by the Supreme Iraqi Criminal Tribunal as a genocidal massacre against the Kurdish people in Iraq

  3012. The Chile example, USSR has supported its Cuban proxy that in turn supported Marxist Salvador Allende. You're a hypocrite. Marxist Salvador Allende clashed with the right-wing parties that controlled Congress and with the judiciary. On 11 September 1973, the military moved to oust Allende in a coup d'état. Marxist Salvador Allende's presidential branch effectively declared war on the judiciary and right-wing majority governed Congress branches. During the 1970 Chilean presidential election, both the United States and the Soviet Union poured money into this election through their intelligence agencies and other sources. 💰KGB money was more precisely targeted. Allende made a personal request for Soviet money through his personal contact, KGB officer Svyatoslav Kuznetsov, who urgently came to Chile from Mexico City to help Allende. The original allocation of money for these elections through the KGB was $400,000, and an additional personal subsidy of $50,000 directly to Allende.[8] It is believed that help from KGB was a decisive factor, because Allende won by a narrow margin of 39,000 votes of a total of the 3 million cast. After the elections, the KGB director Yuri Andropov obtained permission for additional money and other resources from the Central Committee of the CPSU to ensure Allende victory in Congress. In his request on 24 October, he stated that KGB "will carry out measures designed to promote the consolidation of Allende's victory and his election to the post of President of the country". --------------- In your argument's summary, the USSR-supported regime change intervention is okay while the US intervention is bad.

  3028.  @adarshgarhwal747  From US EIA In 2021, a large share of Europe’s supply of liquefied natural gas (LNG) originated in the United States, Qatar, and Russia. Combined, these three countries accounted for almost 70% of Europe’s total LNG imports, according to data by CEDIGAZ. The United States became Europe’s largest source of LNG in 2021, accounting for 26% of all LNG imported by European Union member countries (EU-27) and the United Kingdom (UK), followed by Qatar with 24%, and Russia with 20%. In January 2022, the United States supplied more than half of all LNG imports into Europe for the month. Exports of LNG from the United States to EU-27 and the UK increased from 3.4 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) in November 2021 to 6.5 Bcf/d in January 2022—the most LNG shipped to Europe from the United States on a monthly basis to date, according to the U.S. Department of Energy’s LNG Monthly reports and our own estimates, which are based on LNG shipping data. Rising U.S. LNG exports are the result of both natural gas supply challenges in Europe and the sizable price differences between natural gas produced in the United States and current prices at European trading hubs. Natural gas supply constraints in Europe and the low storage inventories of the past year contributed to recent increases in U.S. LNG exports to Europe. Europe’s natural gas production has been in continuous decline because of production limits on the Groningen field in the Netherlands and declines in the mature fields in the North Sea. To meet demand, Europe’s natural gas imports, particularly from Russia, have increased in recent years. Pipeline flows of natural gas from Russia decreased during 2021. Pipeline receipts from Russia at the three main entry points (Kondratki in Poland, Greifswald in Germany, and Velke Kapusany in Slovakia, which combined account for 14.3 Bcf/d of import pipeline capacity from Russia) averaged 10.7 Bcf/d in 2021, compared with 11.8 Bcf/d in 2020 and 14.1 Bcf/d in 2019, according to data by Refinitiv Eikon. More natural gas delivered by pipeline from Norway, which increased from 10.4 Bcf/d in 2019 and in 2020 to 11.1 Bcf/d in 2021, was not enough to offset reduced pipeline receipts from Russia. Supply challenges in the European market have led to rising regional prices for natural gas. The natural gas spot price at the Title Transfer Facility (TTF) in the Netherlands—the most liquid virtual natural gas hub in Europe—has been trading at all-time high levels. The TTF price averaged $28.52 per million British thermal units (MMBtu) from September 2021 through the first week of February 2022. The TTF price peaked at $60.20/MMBtu on December 21, 2021. Prior to this sharp price increase, the TTF price had averaged $9.28/MMBtu from January through August 2021, $3.28/MMBtu during 2020, $4.45/MMBtu during 2019, and $6.45/MMBtu from 2014 through 2018. Historically, spot natural gas in Europe has traded at prices lower than LNG spot prices in Asia. In recent months, however, natural gas prices in Europe have closely tracked LNG prices in Asia. On some days, the natural gas price in Europe has exceeded the LNG price in Asia, attracting higher volume of flexible LNG supplies to Europe. LNG imports to Europe increased in December 2021 and January 2022, averaging 10.8 Bcf/d and 14.9 Bcf/d, respectively, partly in response to the price at TTF rising above LNG spot prices in Asia.

  3029. Poland is about to complete its new gas pipeline from Norway. The Norway-Poland gas pipeline construction was suspended due to Danish "environmental reasons". From 25th of April 2022 The European Union has announced plans to slash by two-thirds its imports of Russian gas by the end of the year to reduce its dependence on Moscow. ------ The new Norway-Poland gas pipeline. The pipeline is designed to reduce Poland's reliance on Russian gas but construction was halted in May 2019 due to environmental issues. Energinet said it had now received a new environmental permit and it still expects the pipeline to be partially operational from Oct. 1 this year and running at full capacity of up to 10 billion cubic metres from Jan. 1, 2023. The suspension has already delayed the start date by three months. Russia's invasion of Ukraine has triggered worries that Russian gas supplies to Europe could be cut, highlighting the need for diversification of supplies. Construction on two parts of the pipeline has been suspended since 2019 following the rescinding of an environmental permit by a Danish public appeals committee due to concerns over the pipeline's impact on protected mice and bat species. Russia's Gazprom supplies half of Poland's 20 billion cubic meters of gas consumption, but the long-term contract expires at the end of this year and Warsaw doesn't plan to renew it. Poland aims to replace these supplies with shipments via Baltic Pipe. A natural gas pipeline linking Poland to a liquefied natural gas terminal in Lithuania, called GIPL, will open on May 1, Lithuania said on Monday, earlier than the scheduled mid-2022 start.

Your "American sphere of influence' narrative is false when modern Germany dragged the entire NATO and EU to effectively support Germany's unresolved WW1 interest i.e. wreak Serbia. Germany used NATO with North America's raw material security guarantees to further its own interest when it failed in WW1. NATO was used to check Russia and avoid the WW1 trigger. Yugoslav breakup is on Germany and the EU. Modern Germany dragged the US into Germany's WW1 unresolved self-interest. The US tolerated and reluctantly supported Germany's interests.

Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine to influence their politics. 4. Seek immediate Security Council action to provide assistance to Ukraine if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used". 5. Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against Ukraine. 6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments.

  3092.  @slatsgrobneck7515  The United States remained Europe’s top supplier of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in the first 3 months of 2021 as it continued to gain market share at the expense of Russia and Qatar, Europe’s second- and third-largest sources of LNG, according to the EU Commission’s latest European Gas Market Report. The US supplied 24% (4.2 Bcm) of the EU’s overall LNG imports (17 Bcm in Q1 2021); Russia placed second at 21% (3.7 Bcm); and Qatar was third at 18% (3.1 Bcm), the EU Commission reported in early July. When compared to Q4 2020, the US picked up 2% market share from January to March this year, while Russia bested Qatar to become Europe’s second-largest LNG supplier. Nigeria placed fourth, followed by Algeria and Trinidad and Tobago. A review of EU Commission reports dating back to 2019 reveals a steady quarter-to-quarter decline in Europe’s LNG purchases while it also documents the growing rivalry between the US and Russia, Qatar’s fall from dominance, and the emergence of the US as Europe’s top LNG supplier starting Q4 2019. The EU is the world’s third-largest LNG market, though its imports amounted to only about half that of Japan (36 Bcm) and China (32 Bcm) in Q1 2021. European gas consumption rose 7.6% to 132 Bcm in Q1 based on a year-on-year comparison. The commission noted that demand for gas as fuel to generate electricity rose 3.4%, also year-on-year (increasing by 4.9 TWh.) In terms of gas deliveries overall, including pipeline gas, Russia remained the leading gas supplier to Europe (45% of all imports) with the Nord Stream 1 pipeline across the Baltic Sea as its most important supply route. ---- Russia itself doesn't have a US-level consumption.

  3102.  @robertmarmaduke9721  False. The government of the Republic of China, led by the Kuomintang, retreated to Taiwan Island in 1949 after losing the Chinese Civil War with the Communist Party of China. At that time, the Temporary Provisions Effective During the Period of Communist Rebellion was enforced and largely restricted civil and political rights including voting rights of the Taiwanese people. In the eight elections starting from the 1948 Republic of China presidential election in Nanking (later known as Nanjing) to the 1990 Taiwan presidential election, the President was indirectly elected by the National Assembly first elected in 1947 and which had never been reelected in its entirety since. Similarly, the Legislative Yuan also had not been reelected as a whole since 1948. The provincial Governor and municipal Mayors were appointed by the central government. Direct elections were only held for local governments at the county level, and for legislators at the provincial level. In addition, the Martial law in Taiwan also prohibited most forms of opposition. From the 1990s, a series of democratic reforms were implemented in Taiwan. The Additional Articles of the Constitution were adopted to grant full civil and political rights to the Taiwanese people (officially the people of the Free area of the Republic of China). Under the Additional Articles, the President are to be elected by popular vote and all seats in the national parliament are to be reelected. Following the reforms, the first parliamentary elections on Taiwan were held in 1991 for the National Assembly and 1992 for the Legislative Yuan. The first election for provincial Governors and municipality Mayors was held in 1994. Most importantly, Taiwan held the first direct election of the President and Vice President in 1996. The provincial government was reconstructed as a subsidiary of the central government in 1998 and elections for governor and provincial legislators were terminated. The National Assembly ceased to be convened regularly in 2000 and was abolished in 2005. The number of members of the Legislative Yuan was reduced to 113 from 2008.

  3135.  @AlphaHorst  Old English was brought to Great Britain by Anglo-Saxon settlers in the mid-5th century, and the first Old English literary works date from the mid-7th century. After the Norman conquest of 1066, Old English was replaced, for a time, by Anglo-Norman (a relative of French) as the language of the upper classes. This is regarded as marking the end of the Old English era, since during this period the English language was heavily influenced by Anglo-Norman, developing into a phase known now as Middle English in England and Early Scots in Scotland. Again, English's French influence was before the 1316–1328 "100-year war against France". The facts: the current English language is the product of multiple invasions. French Napoleon's aggression wasn't original.

  3146. Al Spreen https://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/a-guide-to-understanding-the-dairy-dispute-between-the-us-andcanada/article34802291/ Canada has long maintained a high tariff wall on most dairy products. The duty on milk is 270 per cent. That keeps most imports from the United States and elsewhere out of Canada, while helping to prop up higher domestic prices. One notable exception is ultrafiltered milk and other protein-rich dairy ingredients used to make dairy products such as cheese and yogurt. North American free-trade rules do not cover these ingredients, so they enter Canada duty-free. And in recent years, U.S. dairies have developed a booming business selling these low-cost products to dairies in Canada ($133-million last year). That all changed about a year ago, when Canadian dairy farmers and producers moved to close the breach in the tariff wall with a new "ingredients strategy." They persuaded regulators to create a new lower-priced class of industrial milk as an incentive to get dairies to produce protein substances in Canada, using Canadian milk. The result was predictable: U.S. imports fell in 2016, and are declining sharply so far this year. In 2016, Canada started a trade war against US

  3181.  @sergeypopov8279  Russian armed Iraq invaded Kuwait. Iraq's territorial integrity was kept intact. Russian armed Libya invaded Kuwait. Libya's territorial integrity was kept intact. Fact: The US didn't land grab Yugoslavia's breakaways. Russia land grabs Ukraine's 5 Oblast territories. The Chile example, USSR has supported its Cuban proxy that in turn supported Marxist Salvador Allende. You're a hypocrite. Marxist Salvador Allende clashed with the right-wing parties that controlled Congress and with the judiciary. On 11 September 1973, the military moved to oust Allende in a coup d'état. Marxist Salvador Allende's presidential branch effectively declared war on the judiciary and right-wing majority governed Congress branches. During the 1970 Chilean presidential election, both the United States and the Soviet Union poured money into this election through their intelligence agencies and other sources. 💰KGB money was more precisely targeted. Allende made a personal request for Soviet money through his personal contact, KGB officer Svyatoslav Kuznetsov, who urgently came to Chile from Mexico City to help Allende. The original allocation of money for these elections through the KGB was $400,000, and an additional personal subsidy of $50,000 directly to Allende.[8] It is believed that help from KGB was a decisive factor, because Allende won by a narrow margin of 39,000 votes of a total of the 3 million cast. After the elections, the KGB director Yuri Andropov obtained permission for additional money and other resources from the Central Committee of the CPSU to ensure Allende victory in Congress. In his request on 24 October, he stated that KGB "will carry out measures designed to promote the consolidation of Allende's victory and his election to the post of President of the country". --------------- In your argument's summary, the USSR-supported regime change intervention is okay while the US intervention is bad. Your argument is hypocritical. USSR's proxy attempted to remove Chile's check-and-balance Congress system. USSR's proxy attempted to concentrate political power into a single entity (individual and political party). The US has no problems with the Swedish-style nanny market led-socialism that is practiced in the CANZUK and Nordic groups.

In 1752, Kuwait became independent after an agreement between the Sheikh of Kuwait and the Emir of Bani Khalid in which Bani Khalid recognised Sabah I bin Jaber's independent rule over Kuwait and in exchange Kuwait would not ally itself or support the enemies of Bani Khalid or interfere in the internal affairs of Bani Khalid in any way.

Iraq's WMD issue is not yet resolved since Kurdish victims are winning their course case against European entities who supplied chemicals for Saddam's WMDs. 1. On 24 April 2013, the district court of The Hague sentenced Dutch businessman Frans van Anraat to payment of damages to the victims of mustard-gas attacks in Iraq and Iran in the 1980s 2. Date: March 2017 Kurdistan’s Interior Minister said on Tuesday the Regional Government since its formation had demanded from the federal government to pay compensation to the families of Kurdish victims who suffered genocide, killing, and displacement from the former Iraqi regime. Rebar Ahmed stressed during the Parliament session that in 2014 “we decided to announce Halabja as a governorate,… but perhaps the big problem facing Halabja is that Iraq is not yet ready to recognize it as a governorate. Therefore, the federal government did not allocate a financial budget for it.” Ahmed continued that when the first Kurdish delegation went to Baghdad, it delivered the Prime Minister a request to compensate the victims of the people of Kurdistan with 380 billion dollars for the crimes committed by Saddam Hussein's regime in Halabja, Anfal and to Barzanis, Faili Kurds, and all victims of Baath crimes. The Halabja chemical attack, also known as the Halabja Massacre or Bloody Friday was a massacre of Kurdish people that took place on 16 March 1988, during the closing days of the Iran–Iraq War in the Kurdish city of Halabja in Iraqi Kurdistan. The attack was part of the Al-Anfal Campaign in Kurdistan, as well as part of the Iraqi Army's attempt to repel the Iranian Operation Zafar 7. It took place 48 hours after the capture of the town by the Iranian Army. A United Nations (UN) medical investigation concluded that mustard gas was used in the attack, along with unidentified nerve agents. The incident was the largest chemical weapons attack directed against a civilian-populated area in history, killing between 3,200 and 5,000 people and injuring 7,000 to 10,000 more, most of them civilians. Preliminary results from surveys of the affected region showed an increased rate of cancer and birth defects in the years afterward. The Halabja attack has been officially defined by the Supreme Iraqi Criminal Tribunal as a genocidal massacre against the Kurdish people in Iraq

  3207. The United States remained Europe’s top supplier of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in the first 3 months of 2021 as it continued to gain market share at the expense of Russia and Qatar, Europe’s second- and third-largest sources of LNG, according to the EU Commission’s latest European Gas Market Report. The US supplied 24% (4.2 Bcm) of the EU’s overall LNG imports (17 Bcm in Q1 2021); Russia placed second at 21% (3.7 Bcm); and Qatar was third at 18% (3.1 Bcm), the EU Commission reported in early July. When compared to Q4 2020, the US picked up 2% market share from January to March this year, while Russia bested Qatar to become Europe’s second-largest LNG supplier. Nigeria placed fourth, followed by Algeria and Trinidad and Tobago. A review of EU Commission reports dating back to 2019 reveals a steady quarter-to-quarter decline in Europe’s LNG purchases while it also documents the growing rivalry between the US and Russia, Qatar’s fall from dominance, and the emergence of the US as Europe’s top LNG supplier starting Q4 2019. The EU is the world’s third-largest LNG market, though its imports amounted to only about half that of Japan (36 Bcm) and China (32 Bcm) in Q1 2021. European gas consumption rose 7.6% to 132 Bcm in Q1 based on a year-on-year comparison. The commission noted that demand for gas as fuel to generate electricity rose 3.4%, also year-on-year (increasing by 4.9 TWh.)

  3221.  @personaa422  FACTS: Post-WW2 Japan vs Eastern European results speak for themselves. For post-WW2 Japan, MacArthur also executed land reform by shifting significant wealthy landlord's lands to the workers with private land title transfers. MacArthur = land reform transfers that included private land title transfers to the workers. From http://www.crosscurrents.hawaii.edu/content.aspx?lang=eng&site=japan&theme=work&subtheme=AGRIC&unit=JWORK098# Land Reform in Postwar Japan As part of the democratization of Japan after World War II, Japanese leaders and Occupation authorities worked together to carry out land reform. It is regarded as one of the most successful of the Occupation-era reforms, and has become the model for land reform in other countries. The purpose of land reform was to reduce the wide gap between absentee landlords who owned agricultural land but did not farm it themselves, and tenant farmers who rented the land in exchange for giving the landlord a high proportion of the crop. The land reform laws were intended to limit the amount of farm land one household could own to about the amount of land that one family could farm themselves, without outside labor. The government forced absentee landlords to sell all their land to the government. Farmers were allowed to own a small amount of farm land that they could rent out to others ( 2.5 acres or one hectare in most parts of Japan, and 10 acres or 4 hectares in Hokkaido), and had to sell any excess to the government. The government then sold this land, usually to the tenant who had been farming it. The result greatly improved the living conditions of farmers. Idealogical basis: A family's land ownership. The West has its own idealogy on land reform with family unit and private ownership as its core idealogy. VS Marxist = land reform transfer to the state, no private land title transfer to the workers. --- The debate about left-wing or right-wing is an attempt to censor debate on the ACTUAL implementation details.

The region soon came under the rule of the Bani Khalid Emirate in 1670 after the expulsion of the Ottomans from Eastern Arabia (Lahsa Eyalet) by Barrack bin Ghurayr, Emir of the Bani Khalid, who successfully besieged the Ottoman governor Umar Pasha who surrendered and gave up his rule as the fourth Ottoman governor of al-Hasa. In 1752, Kuwait became independent after an agreement between the Sheikh of Kuwait and the Emir of Bani Khalid in which Bani Khalid recognised Sabah I bin Jaber's independent rule over Kuwait and in exchange Kuwait would not ally itself or support the enemies of Bani Khalid or interfere in the internal affairs of Bani Khalid in any way.

Imperial Japan's oil was supplied from the Indonesia and Malaysia i.e. main reason for war against the US. 2. Imperial Japan army has inferior tanks which is far inferior to M4 Sherman or T-34 tanks. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_invasion_of_Manchuria#Combatant_forces Imperial Japan's land forces in China Kwantung Army had over 700,000 men Manchukuo: 170,000[1]–200,000 troops[5] Mengjiang: 44,000 troops The Kwantung Army had over 700,000 men in twenty-five divisions (including two tank divisions) and six Independent Mixed Brigades. These contained over 1,215 armored vehicles (mostly armored cars and light tanks), 6,700 artillery pieces (mostly light), and 1,800 aircraft (mostly trainers and obsolete types). However, the Kwantung Army was far below its authorized strength; most of its heavy equipment and all of its best military units had transferred to the Pacific Theater over the previous three years to contend with the advance of American forces. By 1945 the Kwantung Army contained a large number of raw recruits and conscripts, with generally obsolete, light, or otherwise limited equipment. Almost all of the tanks were early 1930s models such as the Type 95 Ha-Go and Type 89 I-Go, the anti-tank units only possessed Type 1 37 mm anti-tank guns that were ineffective against Soviet armor, and the infantry had very few machine-guns and no anti-materiel rifles or submachine guns. As a result, the Japanese forces in Manchuria and Korea had essentially been reduced to a light-infantry counter-insurgency force with limited mobility and limited ability to fight a conventional land war against a coordinated enemy. In fact, only six of the Kwantung Army's divisions existed prior to January 1945. Accordingly, the Japanese regarded none of the Kwantung Army's units as combat ready, with some units being declared less than 15% ready 3. USSR entered a land war against Imperial Japan on 9–20 August 1945 which is too late when Imperal Japan's navy was already destroyed e.g. Yamato was sunk on the 7th of April 1945

  3311. For Transnistria, the region's origins can be traced to the Moldavian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, which was formed in 1924 within the Ukrainian SSR. During World War II, the Soviet Union took parts of the Moldavian ASSR, which was dissolved, and of the Kingdom of Romania's Bessarabia to form the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic in 1940. The Moldavian SSR, organised by a decision of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR on 2 August 1940, was formed out of a part of Bessarabia (taken from Romania on 28 June, after the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact) and out of a part of the Moldavian ASSR roughly equivalent to present-day Transnistria. Transnistria was a product of NAZI-Germany's and USSR's Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact. Russia is actually supporting the NAZI-era Molotov–Ribbentrop pact

  3321.  Michael Kopischke  The "tiny unarmed Russian flotilla" are armed. Varyag Slava-class cruiser is capable of carrying nuclear-tipped cruise missiles. Varyag has 16 large P-1000 Vulkan anti-ship missiles i.e. that's two antiship missiles for each RAN Anzac class and RAN only has eight Anzac class frigates. P-1000 Vulkan's warhead is designed against fleet aircraft carriers and it's total overkill against a small 3600-ton Anzac class frigate. The 1st Hobart class didn't exist in 2014 until it's commissioned in 2015. Ex-PM Paul Keating's Irish mentality selected these weak German MEKO 200 design frigates. One Hobart class destroyer (with 48 strike length VLS) rivals the firepower of the RAN's entire Anzac class frigate fleet.

But the plan remains highly controversial. Trying to balance all of those sometimes competing priorities makes Murray-Darling water sharing one of the most divisive and complicated policy issues in the country. That was brought into sharp focus during the Millennium drought (which ran approximately from 2002-2009), leading to the passage of the Howard government's Water Act in 2007. That committed $10 billion towards a decade-long effort to reach a national agreement on water use in the Murray-Darling, to redress the over-allocation of water licenses and to return water to the environment. The 2012 Murray-Darling Basin Plan was the result of that long and painful process. Broadly speaking, it plans to remove 2,750 gigalitres of water from irrigated agriculture, and return that to the river system. As of the end of June 2017, a little over 2,080 gigalitres had been recovered through a mix of government purchases of water licences, and taxpayer-funded infrastructure improvements. In return for making their farms more water-efficient, farmers surrender the water they save to the Commonwealth.

In 1752, Kuwait became independent after an agreement between the Sheikh of Kuwait and the Emir of Bani Khalid in which Bani Khalid recognised Sabah I bin Jaber's independent rule over Kuwait and in exchange Kuwait would not ally itself or support the enemies of Bani Khalid or interfere in the internal affairs of Bani Khalid in any way.

The US enforced freedom of navigation via arms i.e. US entry into WW1 trigger. 5. Australia ships material support to Japan for US/JP war effort. 6. China attacks Australia's material shipments. Australia initiates its own freedom of navigation via arms. NATO Article V can be invoked since China attacked US military shipments or attack on US territory of Guam i.e. another Hawaii trigger point like US entry into WW2. Trump has a solution, the US to allow countries like Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan to be armed with their own nuclear weapons and reduce US defense treaty obligation. Reduced US defense treaty obligation results in Australia's reduced involvement in East Asia.

  3396.  @A13b100  At the sphere of influence level, Arabia supports a Sunni proxy in Yeman while Iran supports a Shia proxy in Yemen. It's effectively a continuation "old world" conflict between Sassanid Empire (modern-day Iran) and Rashidun Caliphate (modern-day Saudi Arabia). Byzantine Empire (Christian orthodox) supported Sassanid Empire. In the modern day, the Christian orthodox majority Russian Federation supports Iran. Rashidun Caliphate imposed additional taxes on Zoroastrians i.e. Isalm religion was imposed with lower tax advantages. By the late 10th century, the majority of the Iranians had become Muslim. The rise of Safavids in the early 16th century and their forced conversion of Iranian Sunnis lead to rising of Shi'a Muslim faith in Iran. The USA followed UK's foreign policy support for Saudi Arabia after WW2. The old-world conflicts don't disappear until one side is completely annihilated and lost in history.

  3405.  @mouradbelkas598  Date: March 2017 Kurdistan’s Interior Minister said on Tuesday the Regional Government (since its formation) had demanded from the federal government to pay compensation to the families of Kurdish victims who suffered genocide, killing, and displacement from the former Iraqi regime. Rebar Ahmed stressed during the Parliament session that in 2014 “we decided to announce Halabja as a governorate,… but perhaps the big problem facing Halabja is that Iraq is not yet ready to recognize it as a governorate. Therefore, the federal government did not allocate a financial budget for it.” Ahmed continued that when the first Kurdish delegation went to Baghdad, it delivered the Prime Minister a request to compensate the victims of the people of Kurdistan with 380 billion dollars for the crimes committed by Saddam Hussein's regime in Halabja, Anfal and to Barzanis, Faili Kurds, and all victims of Baath crimes. The Halabja chemical attack, also known as the Halabja Massacre or Bloody Friday was a massacre of Kurdish people that took place on 16 March 1988, during the closing days of the Iran–Iraq War in the Kurdish city of Halabja in Iraqi Kurdistan. The attack was part of the Al-Anfal Campaign in Kurdistan, as well as part of the Iraqi Army's attempt to repel the Iranian Operation Zafar 7. It took place 48 hours after the capture of the town by the Iranian Army. A United Nations (UN) medical investigation concluded that mustard gas was used in the attack, along with unidentified nerve agents. The incident was the largest chemical weapons attack directed against a civilian-populated area in history, killing between 3,200 and 5,000 people and injuring 7,000 to 10,000 more, most of them civilians. Preliminary results from surveys of the affected region showed an increased rate of cancer and birth defects in the years afterward. The Halabja attack has been officially defined by the Supreme Iraqi Criminal Tribunal as a genocidal massacre against the Kurdish people in Iraq. -------------- Again, Iraq invaded Kuwait and Iran i.e. those who live by the sword will die by the sword. Ukraine did NOT invade another country.

  3407.  @ransertu7630  Sheikhdom of Kuwait BEFORE WW1! Kuwait was founded in 1613 AD as a fishing village known as Grane (Kureyn). The region soon came under the rule of the Bani Khalid Emirate in 1670 after the expulsion of the Ottomans from Eastern Arabia (Lahsa Eyalet) by Barrack bin Ghurayr, Emir of the Bani Khalid, who successfully besieged the Ottoman governor Umar Pasha who surrendered and gave up his rule as the fourth Ottoman governor of al-Hasa. In 1752, Kuwait became independent after an agreement between the Sheikh of Kuwait and the Emir of Bani Khalid in which Bani Khalid recognised Sabah I bin Jaber's independent rule over Kuwait and in exchange Kuwait would not ally itself or support the enemies of Bani Khalid or interfere in the internal affairs of Bani Khalid in any way. ---- Iraq invaded Kuwait.

  3408.  @ransertu7630  In July, Saddam accused Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates of breaking with Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) production quotas and over-producing crude oil for export, which depressed prices, depriving Iraq of critical oil revenues. The difference, UAE has US military base. Feelings are useless without firepower. Saddam's oil-stealing argument against Kuwait and UAE is unproven.
    2
  3409.  @mouradbelkas598  Against Saddam's argument on Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates stealing oil from Iraq. American drillers denied that Kuwait would need to incorporate this technology saying, “Oil flows easily from the Rumalia field [to the Ratqa field] without any need for these techniques.” Lastly, it should be noted that a, “Senior vice president of OGE Drilling Inc., a Houston company that provided oilfield supervisors and workers for Kuwait in the same area, said he was ‘positive’ all of the weeks his employees drilled and operated ran vertically down to the Rumalia pay zone. ‘That field crosses the border in north Kuwait,’ he added. ‘Iraqis were drilling on one side, and Kuwaitis on the other side.’” Now of course no company would come out and say they were stealing from Iraq so this information should be looked at with a healthy skepticism. Due to Saddam's imperialist actions, Saddam deserves to be removed. Despite Iraq's imperialist actions against Kuwait, the US preserved Iraq's territorial integrity. After WW2, the US follows France/UK's post-WW1 Middle East border divisions that were imposed on WW1 loser Ottoman Empire. Russia does NOT preserve Ukraine's territorial integrity.

  3410.  @mouradbelkas598  Before Euromaidan, Russia started a trade war against Ukraine, forcing Yanukovych to sign a base rental extension agreement that breached Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17 disallows foreign military bases after 2017. Read the Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17 which disallows foreign military bases after 2017. CONSTITUTION OF UKRAINE Adopted at the Fifth Session of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on 28 June 1996 Article 17 The location of foreign military bases shall not be permitted on the territory of Ukraine. Yanukovych breached the Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17. After 2017, Ukraine's constitution is incompatible with foreign military bases hosting either NATO or CSTO. If Yanukovych didn't sign the military base rental extension, Russia would be kicked out of Crimea. Putin's narrative is FALSE. Putin's pressure caused Yanukovych to make a mistake. Pro-Ukraine political parties exploited Yanukovych's constitutional mistake.

The judges convicted Frans van Anraat, 63, a Dutch businessman, of complicity in war crimes because they said he had known that the materials he sold to Iraq during the rule of former president Saddam Hussein could be used to make lethal poison gas. ----- The Iraqi WMD question is still ongoing and the European courts will deal with it.

Without NATO (and U.S.), Germany would have done it alone and we would have another WW1 trigger i.e. Russia would have taken on Germany as in WWI. Germany used NATO with North America's raw material security guarantees to further its own interest when it failed in WW1's goals. Russia knows that decoupling North America's raw material security guarantees from mainland Europe will enable Russia to win any war of attrition against resource-poor Germany.

M4 tanks has 49,234 units x 33 tons = 1,624,722, Russian T34 tanks has similar number. M10 tank destroyer has 6,406 units x 29 tons = 185,774 tons M18 tank destroyer has 2,507 units x 39 tons = 97,773 tons M36 tank destroyer has 2,324 units x 29 tons = 67,396 tons M36 has 90 mm gun. Sub-Total: 2,072,993 tons M4 Sherman Firefly (UK) has 2,200 units x 35 tons = 77,000 tons. Firefly takes on Tiger I and Panther tanks. US has both quality (M26) and numbers (M4). Significant amount of US Army's tonnage was against German army. US has the following aircraft carrier production 24 Essex-class fleet carriers with 90 to 110 aircraft each. 650,400 tons for Essex-class. 21 Commencement Bay class with 228,900 tons 50 Casablanca-class with 390,000 tons. 45 Bogue-class with 747,900 tons 3 Yorktown-class fleet carriers with 59,400 tons Sub-Total: 3,798,645 tons Modern day USN aircraft carrier tonnage is just about 1,460,000 tons. Significant amount of USN's tonnage was against Japanese navy. WW2 UK has similar aircraft carrier builds as Imperial Japan i.e. around 10 to 11 units. Not including UK, US and Canada other surface combat ships e.g. destroyers, heavy cruisers, battleships and 'etc'. Grand Total: 5,871,638 tons For US, that's already 10.3X times over Germany's iron/steel tonnage extract/production. WW2 Russian navy is small. WW2 German navy is small.

Aussie's medical patent system also supports the private insurance system's cost controls. Australian's nanny state difference vs Communism is the Aussie system enforces the ideal healthy market competition to cause downward pressure on health costs for both single-payer universal health care and private systems. https://www.thelocal.dk/20151101/danish-pm-in-us-denmark-is-not-socialist Danish PM in US: Denmark is not socialist https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Index_of_Economic_Freedom Many Nordic and CANZUK "nanny" states beat US on Economic Freedom index scores and thump communist states. Australia's nanny state system tumps Cuba. US already has a single-payer system via VA system, but it's gimped by monopolistic friendly patent laws and inefficient administration with high overheads. A Nordic nanny-state model combines life-critical welfare with a robust market lead economy.

The lead-up to the 1801 Barbary war created the US Department of the Navy and the infamous "freedom of navigation" foreign policy.

"On 10 March 2011, France was the first country in the world to recognise the National Transitional Council as the legitimate government of Libya". United Nations Security Council Resolution 1973 was adopted by the United Nations Security Council on 17 March 2011 in response to the First Libyan Civil War. The Security Council resolution was proposed by France, Lebanon, and the United Kingdom. Muammar Gaddafi played stupid games and win stupid prizes. The US supported France(EU)'s and UK(EU)'s, and Lebanon's United Nations Security Council Resolution 1973. NATO wasn't used until United Nations Security Council Resolution 1973 since it was vetoed by Turkey.

  3571.  @lordmike9384  The difference, the US has LNG interest in Poland and US is NOT resource poor UK, France and Germany. ------- The United States remained Europe’s top supplier of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in the first 3 months of 2021 as it continued to gain market share at the expense of Russia and Qatar, Europe’s second- and third-largest sources of LNG, according to the EU Commission’s latest European Gas Market Report. The US supplied 24% (4.2 Bcm) of the EU’s overall LNG imports (17 Bcm in Q1 2021); Russia placed second at 21% (3.7 Bcm); and Qatar was third at 18% (3.1 Bcm), the EU Commission reported in early July. When compared to Q4 2020, the US picked up 2% market share from January to March this year, while Russia bested Qatar to become Europe’s second-largest LNG supplier. Nigeria placed fourth, followed by Algeria and Trinidad and Tobago. A review of EU Commission reports dating back to 2019 reveals a steady quarter-to-quarter decline in Europe’s LNG purchases while it also documents the growing rivalry between the US and Russia, Qatar’s fall from dominance, and the emergence of the US as Europe’s top LNG supplier starting Q4 2019. The EU is the world’s third-largest LNG market, though its imports amounted to only about half that of Japan (36 Bcm) and China (32 Bcm) in Q1 2021. European gas consumption rose 7.6% to 132 Bcm in Q1 based on a year-on-year comparison. The commission noted that demand for gas as fuel to generate electricity rose 3.4%, also year-on-year (increasing by 4.9 TWh.) --------- You can't handle it when Russia is not the only energy superpower with interest.

In the months prior to the Vilnius summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin engaged in a trade war with Kiev, blocking nearly all imports from Ukraine and cutting energy supplies to the country. In turn, this reduced Ukrainian exports by 25 percent and shrank the economy by 1.5 percent. ---------- 1. 1863–1864 January uprising, Russian Empire crushed Polish, Lithuanian, and Ukrainian insurgents uprising. 2. Soviet–Ukrainian War occurred between 1917 to 1921, a war between the Ukrainian People's Republic vs the Bolsheviks i.e. Ukrainian Soviet Republic and Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (modern-day Russian Federation). 3. 2014, Russo-Ukrainian War. March 1, 2014, the Federation Council of the Russian Federation unanimously adopted a resolution to petition Russian President Vladimir Putin to use military force in Ukraine.

Hawker Hurricane's range = 970 km or 485 km combat radius (defensive fighter, the backbone of RAF). F-16s has a similar short legs issue as Hawker Hurricane's. F-16 is designed as defensive fighter aircraft. Supermarine Spitfire has the range endurance to cover British/French armies over Belgium and most of France, but they are few in numbers when compared to Hawker Hurricanes. For the bomber escort missions, most of RAF's fighter fleet with Hawker Hurricanes does NOT have long-range escort bomber capability! Prior to P-51 Mustang, RAF bomber escort via Spitfires can cover most of France and into Germany's northwest areas around Cologne and Bonn. The statement "uk definitely had the power to attack germany with airpower and didn't." is FALSE since most of RAF's fleet is made up of air defense fighter Hawker Hurricanes. LOL January 1942 (for RAF) US's P-51D Mustang's range with external tanks = 2,660 km or 1,330 km combat radius. F-35A has a 1407 km combat radius (Israeli info) with just internal fuel tanks.

  3611.  @Shenzhou.  > Xinjiang was part of China even before Jesus Christ himself was born FALSE. China's multiple languages are echoes of the past separate individual kingdoms. The earliest inhabitants of the region encompassing modern day Xinjiang were genetically of Ancient North Eurasian and Northeast Asian origin, with later geneflow from during the Bronze Age linked to the expansion of early Indo-Europeans. These population dynamics gave rise to a heterogeneous demographic makeup. Iron Age samples from Xinjiang show intensified levels of admixture between Steppe pastoralists and northeast Asians, with northern and eastern Xinjiang showing more affinities with northeast Asians, and southern Xinjiang showing more affinity with central Asians _Between 2009 and 2015, the remains of 92 individuals in the Xiaohe Cemetery were analyzed for Y chromosome and mitochondrial DNA markers. Genetic analyses of the mummies showed that the paternal lineages of the Xiaohe people were of European[42] origin, while the maternal lineages of the early population were diverse, featuring both East Eurasian and West Eurasian lineages, as well as a small number of Indian lineages. Over time, the west Eurasian maternal lineages were gradually replaced by east Eurasian maternal lineages. _ Nomadic tribes such as the Yuezhi, Saka and Wusun were probably part of the migration of Indo-European speakers who had settled in Western Central Asia long before the Xiongnu and Han Chinese. By the time the Han dynasty under Emperor Wu (r. 141–87 BC) wrested the western Tarim Basin away from its previous overlords (the Xiongnu), it was inhabited by various peoples who included the Indo-European-speaking Tocharians in Turfan and Kucha, the Saka peoples centered in the Shule Kingdom and the Kingdom of Khotan, the various Tibeto-Burmese groups (especially people related to the Qiang) as well as the Han Chinese people.[48] Some linguists posit that the Tocharian language had high amounts of influence from Paleosiberian languages,[49] such as Uralic and Yeniseian languages.

  3619.  @yggdrasil9039  Most recently, Bjørn Nyland had an opportunity to test the entry-level Made-in-China (MIC) Tesla Model 3 SR+ (currently named Tesla Model 3 RWD) with LFP (lithium iron phosphate) lithium-ion batteries. LFP battery chemistry is known for its limitation of charging at low temperatures (especially below 0°C). We already know that its winter range (at 1°C) is noticeably lower than in the Summer. But it was a test with a normal battery temperature (roughly 25°C). The next episode is about how the cold weather affect the Tesla Model 3. The car was left intentionally with a low state-of-charge and the battery had only a few degrees °C in the morning (outside temperature was 2°C). We can treat it as the worst-case scenario. The EV battery packs are thermally isolated so they maintain temperature quite long. The general operation of the car is surprisingly good and it appears to accelerate normally Regenerative braking is ok (it can reach substantial levels - up to a few times higher than continuous fast charging). However, the fast charging is significantly limited when the battery is cold. After plugging-in, the car was able to barely reach 20 kW at about 11% state-of-charge (SOC), and then it decreased to an even lower level, like 13 kW (after 10 minutes). This proves that the battery temperature is crucial for charging. Fortunately, the pre-conditioning of the battery (heating) ahead of fast charging (car feature), combined with driving (additional heat losses and heat scavenging) improves the charging performance relatively quickly. The later test at 8% SOC with 25°C battery temperature resulted in charging power of 111 kW (and it dropped to 90 kW after a while). The conclusion is to avoid leaving the cars in the cold, disconnected from a charging point, and if that happens, maybe start conditioning immediately to achieve best performance and fast charging capability.

The Air Force also said the hangars were needed in the winter to protect the B-2 from snow and ice. "Traditional methods of ice and snow removal will degrade the B-2's low-observable ("stealth") characteristics and cannot be used," the service said, referring to the use of brooms to remove snow and deicing fluids to melt ice.

  3650.  @firetree2007  FALSE. That's "Cairo Conference 1943" The U.S. position on Taiwan’s international status is “undetermined,” in accordance with the outcome of the 1951-52 San Francisco Peace Treaty. In that treaty, Japan had formally ceded sovereignty over the island, but it was not decided to whom. Most countries at the 1951 Peace Conference argued that Taiwan’s status needed to be determined in due time, in accordance with the principle of self-determination enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations. Post-WW2, Taiwan and the Pescadores islands are not handed to China, and KMT is a foreign government in exile under the American occupation of Japanese Taiwan islands. In Taiwan, the KMT government was politically defeated by partly aboriginal Taiwanese Tsai Ing-wen Democratic Progressive Party. On the eve of the 1894 Sino-Japanese War, about 45 percent of the island was administered under the direct Manchus Qing administration (Imperial China) while the remaining was populated by Taiwanese aborigines. Imperialist Manchus Qing's Imperial China didn't fully control Taiwan.

'When our envelope was cleared to practise BFM we got the opportunity to fight some fourth-generation fighters. Remember, back the rumors were that the F-35 was a pig. The first time the opponents showed up [in the training area] they had wing tanks along with a bunch of missiles. I guess they figured that being in a dirty configuration wouldn't really matter and that they would still easily outmanoeuvre us. By the end of the week, though, they had dropped their wing tanks, transitioned to a single centerline fuel tank and were still doing everything they could not to get gunned by us. A week later they stripped the jets clean of all external stores, which made the BFM fights interesting, to say the least --- 1. Lightest empty weight F-16A MLU air-superiority model needs to be clean (no weapons, no external tanks) to make visual range dogfight interesting against combat loaded F-35A Block 3F. 2.

  3661.  @robertmarmaduke9721  Following a shipwreck of a Ryukyuan vessel on the southeastern tip of Taiwan in winter of 1871, in which the heads of 54 crew members were taken by the aboriginal Taiwanese Paiwan people in the Mudan incident, the Japanese sought to use this incident as a pretext to have the Qing formally acknowledge Japanese sovereignty over the Ryukyu Islands as Japanese territory and to test reactions to potential expansion into Taiwan. According to records from Japanese documents, Mao Changxi [zh] and Dong Xun [zh], the Qing ministers at Zongli Yamen who handled the complaints from Japanese envoy Yanagihara Sakimitsu [ja], replied first that they had heard only of a massacre of Ryukyuans, not of Japanese, and quickly noted that Ryukyu was under Chinese suzerainty, and therefore this issue was not Japan's business. In addition, the governor-general of the Qing province Fujian had rescued the survivors of the massacre and returned them safely to Ryukyu. The Qing authorities explained that there were two kinds of aborigines on Taiwan: those governed by the Qing, and those unnaturalized "raw barbarians ... beyond the reach of Qing government and customs." They indirectly hinted that foreigners traveling in those areas settled by indigenous people must exercise caution. After the Yanagihara-Yamen interview, the Japanese took their explanation to mean that the Qing government had not opposed Japan's claims to sovereignty over the Ryukyu Islands, disclaimed any jurisdiction over Aboriginal Taiwanese, and had indeed consented to Japan's expedition to Taiwan.[51] The Qing dynasty made it clear to the Japanese that Taiwan was definitely within Qing jurisdiction, even though part of that island's aboriginal population was not yet under the influence of Chinese culture. The Qing also pointed to similar cases all over the world where an aboriginal population within a national boundary was not completely subjugated by the dominant culture of that country. The Japanese nevertheless launched an expedition to Mutan village with a force of 3600 soldiers in 1874. The number of killed Paiwan was about thirty, and that for the Japanese was six. Eventually, the Japanese withdrew after being paid a massive indemnity by the Qing. This incident caused the Qing to re-think the importance of Taiwan in their maritime defense strategy and greater importance was placed on gaining control over the wilderness regions. On the eve of the First Sino-Japanese War, about 45 percent of the island was administered under direct Qing administration while the remaining was lightly populated by Aborigines.[52] ... It was not until the defeat of the Chinese navy during the First Sino-Japanese War in 1894–95 that Japan was finally able to gain possession of Taiwan, and with it saw the shifting of Asian dominance from China to Japan. The Treaty of Shimonoseki was signed on April 17, 1895, ceding Taiwan and the Penghu Islands to Japan, which would rule the island for 50 years until its defeat in World War II. ----- On the eve of the First Sino-Japanese War, the Qing administration controls 45 percent of Taiwan.

Lusophone Citizenship Easing citizens' cross-border movement between the member states was proposed at the 2017 CPLP Summit.[30] This proposal by Portugal and Cape Verde to Brazil was thought by some to conflict with Europe's Schengen area. However, this free movement is based on a different model: as residence permits, associated with the recognition of academic degrees and professional qualification, and maintenance of social rights including pension systems. It would henceforth establish Lusophone citizenship. Brazil has a French-designed nuclear-powered submarine and Sweden's Gripen E (F-39). As the rising power of Brazil coupled with Portugal, the Portuguese speakers have their own transnational Portuguese interest. The relationship between the raising power of Brazil and the smaller Portugal mirrors the relationship between the larger USA and the smaller UK.

The Germans, Americans, British, and French agreed that there would be “no deployment of non-German NATO forces on the territory of the former GDR (East Germany)“. That agreement was incorporated in Article 5 of the Treaty on the Final Settlement with Respect to Germany, which was signed on 12 September 1990 by the six countries : Until Soviet forces had completed their withdrawal from the former GDR, only German territorial defense units not integrated into NATO would be deployed in that territory. There would be no increase in the numbers of troops or equipment of U.S., British and French forces stationed in Berlin. Once Soviet forces had withdrawn, German forces assigned to NATO could be deployed in the former GDR, but foreign forces and nuclear weapons systems would not be deployed there. --- The Three Seas Initiative member countries did NOT sign Treaty on the Final Settlement with Respect to Germany.

CONSTITUTION OF UKRAINE Adopted at the Fifth Session of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on 28 June 1996 Article 17 The location of foreign military bases shall not be permitted on the territory of Ukraine. Yanukovych breached the Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17. After 2017, Ukraine's constitution is incompatible with foreign military bases hosting either NATO or CSTO. If Yanukovych didn't sign the military base rental extension, Russia would be kicked out of Crimea. Putin's narrative is FALSE.

  3754.  @nilsvn2052  Poland was fighting Soviet communists in 1919-1920. From 1918 to 1925, the US, UK (along with Canada, Australia, India, South Africa), Japan, Greece, France, White Russia, Estonia, Serbia, Italy, Romania battled a limited war against Bolshevism. Winston Churchill was the loudest for action against Bolshevism, but he was in a minority. In 1949, Churchill has stated, “I think the day will come when it will be recognized without doubt, not only on one side of the House, but throughout the civilized world, that the strangling of Bolshevism at its birth would have been an untold blessing to the human race.” In June 1954, Churchill has stated “If I had been properly supported in 1919, I think we might have strangled Bolshevism in its cradle, but everybody turned up their hands and said, ‘How shocking!’”. Hilter was late to the party and used the wrong method in gaining allies against Bolshevism. Again, the "Poland question" is the dividing line between UK/France and Nazi Germany. NATO and the EU didn't repeat Hilter's mistake. I didn't understand Hilter's anti-Slavic idealogy when Slavic women are hot and beautiful.

  3756.  @Lancor84  For post-WW2 Japan, MacArthur also executed land reform by shifting significant wealthy landlord's lands to the workers with private land title transfers. MacArthur = land reform transfers that included private land title transfers to the workers. From http://www.crosscurrents.hawaii.edu/content.aspx?lang=eng&site=japan&theme=work&subtheme=AGRIC&unit=JWORK098# Land Reform in Postwar Japan As part of the democratization of Japan after World War II, Japanese leaders and Occupation authorities worked together to carry out land reform. It is regarded as one of the most successful of the Occupation-era reforms, and has become the model for land reform in other countries. The purpose of land reform was to reduce the wide gap between absentee landlords who owned agricultural land but did not farm it themselves, and tenant farmers who rented the land in exchange for giving the landlord a high proportion of the crop. The land reform laws were intended to limit the amount of farm land one household could own to about the amount of land that one family could farm themselves, without outside labor. The government forced absentee landlords to sell all their land to the government. Farmers were allowed to own a small amount of farm land that they could rent out to others ( 2.5 acres or one hectare in most parts of Japan, and 10 acres or 4 hectares in Hokkaido), and had to sell any excess to the government. The government then sold this land, usually to the tenant who had been farming it. The result greatly improved the living conditions of farmers. Idealogical basis: A family's land ownership. The West has its own idealogy on land reform with family unit and private ownership as its core idealogy. VS Marxist Communism = land reform transfer to the state, no private land title transfer to the workers. The state has the power instead of individual family units.

NATO's slow speed has led to calls for EU Army. The operation started on 23 March 2011 and gradually expanded during the following weeks, by integrating more and more elements of the multinational military intervention, which had started on 19 March in response to the same UN resolutions. As of 31 March 2011, it encompassed all international operations in Libya. Around a similar time when NATO takes over operations in Libya, European participants such as France run out of smart bombs. Less than a month into the Libyan conflict, European participants are running short of precision bombs, highlighting the limitations of Britain, France, and other European countries in sustaining even a relatively small military action over an extended period of time, according to senior NATO and U.S. officials. US-backed NATO guarantees weapons stock piles for NATO members.

Collins Class's silent run has about 890 km range at 4 knots. Japanese AIP subs can do 6.5 knots with an 11,000 km range. Japanese AIP tech is licensed from Sweden. Cargo ships have a higher speed e.g. 20 knots. At higher speeds, Collins Class is not silent with submerged diesel run. Europe's non-nuclear powered submarines that defend smaller European countries' smaller coastlines shouldn't be used for Australia's 35,000 km coastline defense i.e. Australia is not France nor Sweden. Paul Keating's defense mindset is in Ireland or Sweden instead of East Asian and Australia's large coastline. Paul Keating is wrong.

On the same day, it was reported that an anonymous UN diplomat confirmed to Agence France Presse that France and Britain were drawing up a resolution on the no-fly zone that would be considered by the UN Security Council during the same week.[44] The Gulf Cooperation Council also on that day called upon the UN Security Council to "take all necessary measures to protect civilians, including enforcing a no-fly zone over Libya." 9 March 2011: The head of the Libyan National Transitional Council, Mustafa Abdul Jalil, "pleaded for the international community to move quickly to impose a no-fly zone over Libya, declaring that any delay would result in more casualties."[41] Three days later, he stated that if pro-Gaddafi forces reached Benghazi, then they would kill "half a million" people. He stated, "If there is no no-fly zone imposed on Gaddafi's regime, and his ships are not checked, we will have a catastrophe in Libya."[42] 10 March 2011: France recognized the Libyan NTC as the legitimate government of Libya soon after Sarkozy met with them in Paris. This meeting was arranged by Bernard-Henri Lévy.[59] 12 March 2011: The Arab League "called on the United Nations Security Council to impose a no-fly zone over Libya in a bid to protect civilians from air attack."[49][50][51][60] The Arab League's request was announced by Omani Foreign Minister Yusuf bin Alawi bin Abdullah, who stated that all member states present at the meeting agreed with the proposal.[49] On 12 March, thousands of Libyan women marched in the streets of the rebel-held town of Benghazi, calling for the imposition of a no-fly zone over Libya.[43] 14 March 2011: In Paris at the Élysée Palace, before the summit with the G8 Minister for Foreign Affairs, Sarkozy, who is also the president of the G8, along with French Foreign Minister Alain Juppé met with US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and pressed her to push for intervention in Libya.[61] File:US Supports No-Fly Zone Against Libya.ogv VOA News report on the United States joining Lebanon, France and United Kingdom to support the no-fly zone. 15 March 2011: A resolution for a no-fly zone was proposed by Nawaf Salam, Lebanon's Ambassador to the UN. The resolution was immediately backed by France and the United Kingdom. 17 March 2011: The UN Security Council, acting under the authority of Chapter VII of the UN Charter, approved a no-fly zone by a vote of ten in favour, zero against, and five abstentions, via United Nations Security Council Resolution 1973. The five abstentions were: Brazil, Russia, India, China, and Germany. Less than twenty-four hours later, Libya announced that it would halt all military operations in response to the UN Security Council resolution. Libyan anti-government rebels, 1 March 2011 18 March 2011: The Libyan foreign minister, Moussa Koussa, said that he had declared a ceasefire, attributing the UN resolution.[67] However, artillery shelling on Misrata and Ajdabiya continued, and government soldiers continued approaching Benghazi.[19][68] Government troops and tanks entered the city on 19 March.[69] Artillery and mortars were also fired into the city. 19 March 2011: French[73] forces began the military intervention in Libya, later joined by coalition forces with strikes against armoured units south of Benghazi and attacks on Libyan air-defense systems, as UN Security Council Resolution 1973 called for using "all necessary means" to protect civilians and civilian-populated areas from attack, imposed a no-fly zone, and called for an immediate and with-standing cease-fire, while also strengthening travel bans on members of the regime, arms embargoes, and asset freezes. 21 March 2011: Obama sent a letter to the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the President Pro Tempore of the Senate claiming the actions were justified under the War Powers Resolution. 24 March 2011: In telephone negotiations, French foreign minister Alain Juppé agreed to let NATO take overall military operations on 29 March at the latest, allowing Turkey to veto strikes on Gaddafi ground forces from that point forward. Later reports stated that NATO would take over enforcement of the no-fly zone and the arms embargo, but discussions were still underway about whether NATO would take over the protection of civilians mission. Turkey reportedly wanted the power to veto airstrikes, while France wanted to prevent Turkey from having such a veto. 25 March 2011: NATO Allied Joint Force Command in Naples took command of the no-fly zone over Libya and combined it with the ongoing arms embargo operation under the name Operation Unified Protector. ------ NATO command has gimped by Turkey that was later resolved, but that slowdown didn't stop France from leading the military intervention in Libya.

  3846.  @tossancuyota7848  The Archives of the University of Santo Tomas in Manila, one of the largest archives in the Philippines, currently possesses the world's biggest collection of ancient writings in Baybayin. Despite being primarily a historic script, the baybayin script has seen some revival in the modern Philippines. It is often used in the insignia of government agencies and books are frequently published either partially or fully, in baybayin. Bills to require its use in certain cases and instruction in schools have been repeatedly considered by the Congress of the Philippines. From the material that is available, it is clear that baybayin was used in Luzon, Palawan, Mindoro, Pangasinan, Ilocos, Panay, Leyte and Iloilo, but there is no proof supporting that baybayin reached Mindanao. It seems clear that the Luzon and Palawan varieties started to develop in different ways in the 1500s, before the Spaniards conquered what we know today as the Philippines. Baybayin was noted by the Spanish priest Pedro Chirino in 1604 and Antonio de Morga in 1609 to be known by most Filipinos, and was generally used for personal writings and poetry, among others.

French archaeologist George Coedes defined it as the expansion of an organized culture that was framed upon Indian originations of royalty, Hinduism and Buddhism and the Sanskrit language.

The goal: to ensure competition between an SOE and a private enterprise takes place on a level playing field inside the host country. But China’s 150,000 SOEs form the bedrock of the Chinese economy and therefore have certain privileges. About a thousand SOEs are listed in the Shanghai or Shenzhen Stock Exchanges, indicating they are commercial in nature. More than 150 of these are managed by the central SASAC, and the list includes some of the largest companies in the world. The Chinese government assists these SOEs in various ways, including preferential interest rates. Although there have been exceptions under the TPP (for example New Zealand was able to get exemptions for its powerful cooperative Fonterra), it would have been an uphill battle for China to negotiate exemptions for so many of its SOEs engaged in various international operations within TPP member countries. --- CPTPP was designed to be anti-China SOE.

'When our envelope was cleared to practise BFM we got the opportunity to fight some fourth-generation fighters. Remember, back the rumors were that the F-35 was a pig. The first time the opponents showed up [in the training area] they had wing tanks along with a bunch of missiles. I guess they figured that being in a dirty configuration wouldn't really matter and that they would still easily outmanoeuvre us. By the end of the week, though, they had dropped their wing tanks, transitioned to a single centerline fuel tank and were still doing everything they could not to get gunned by us. A week later they stripped the jets clean of all external stores, which made the BFM fights interesting, to say the least

F-35A's 43,000 lbf thrust is 1.50X scaled from F-16C's 28,600 lbf. F-35A's 45,000 lbf thrust upgrade road map is 1.57X scaled from F-16C's 28,600 lbf. F-35A needs at least 44,330 lbs thrust to preserve the 1.55X scale factor There's a near-straight 1.5X scaling between F16C to F-35A on basic wing loading, engine thrust, and empty weight. F-35A's wing area is influenced by weight growth and F-16C's empty weight wing loading target. For engine thrust, F-35A needs a minor engine upgrade to maintain a 1.55X scaling factor.

The US already planned for the Turkish exit from NATO. For the Libya strike operation example, operating from Crete, F-16 typically had to refuel several times - the F-35A would have done the whole mission without mid-air refueling. This is from Norway's POV. From either Bahrain or UAE or Cyprus UK military bases, USAF F-35A can reach deep into Iran without mid-air refueling. With F-35A's longer range, USAF also reduced the need for US Navy's aircraft carriers.

  3941.  @susangreen495  The United States is ultimately the guarantor for NATO and the US can refuse to cover Turkey's insurance, which effectively kicks Turkey out of NATO, just as Turkey was kicked out of the JSF program. The United States has its own security interest, hence the importance of the "common values" argument. Finland and Sweden are already part of the EU with Article 42.7 mutual defense clause. EU Article 42.7 mutual defense clause is weaker when the UK exited the EU. Sweden is already a member of the "14 Eyes" alliance. For the total war of attrition, Finland's and Sweden's joining NATO enables participation from raw resource-rich Canada and the United States. The United States hasn't given up on Turkey and is willing to work with Turkey's issues.

Finland and Estonia purchased the Gabriel Mk V Blue Spear missile system! Russia sells hardware to Syria, Israel retaliated by selling medium-range missile strike to Estonia and Finland. Gabriel Mk V Blue Spear with 400km range can nearly strike at Moscow. Finland (Gabriel Mk V) and Estonia (Gabriel Mk V Blue Spear 5G SSM) have rejected Russian demands. UK (British Trident II ICBM, Tomahawk Land Attack Missile, Storm Shadow) rejects Russian demands. Britain will grow its nuclear warhead stockpile by more than 40% from 180 warheads.

Russia was meddling in Australia's Antarctica interest that caused Australia to enlist EU support. Russia was meddling in New Zealand's Antarctica interest that caused New Zealand to enlist US support. ---- Russia went against Australia's interest in the 2014 (G20 meeting) and 2019 (AUS-NZ's Antarctic marine park plan), and are you expecting continued friendly relations between Australia and Russia? Russia doesn't respect Australia's southern sphere of influence why should Australia respect Russia's sphere of influence? Putin is the best salesman for NATO.

  3960.  @yogiahmad328  Indonesia wasn't part of the British Empire and the Commonwealth of Nations. Dutch controlled Java, Sumatra, and most of the Indonesian archipelago. When Napoleon fell from power and the French left Holland, the Dutch and the British signed The Treaty of London in London 1824. This treaty stated that all colonies that belonged to the Dutch from 1801 be returned to the Dutch Administrators. In 1801 the British took control of Minahasa, which is a region located on the northern tip of the Indonesian island of Sulawesi. In 1814, during Napoleonic rule when the French were occupying Holland, the British arrived on the island of Sumatra in Indonesia. The British established Fort York as headquarters, which was later renamed Fort Marlborough. Due to the power shift to the British the leader of the Java people became Lieutenant Governor Sir Thomas Stanford Raffles. Governor Raffles proposed to the Indonesians a partial self- government and the land-tenure system. The land-tenure system threw out the much-hated agricultural system that had been put in place by the Dutch. The land-tenure system was a system where crops were grown and were given freely to the government. This is different from the system in place under the Dutch, which was that the crops were grown by the citizens and the government took them without paying for them. Governor Raffles also ended slave trade, restored the native temples in Indonesia, and allowed research to be conducted on many topics. When Napoleon fell from power and the French left Holland, the Dutch and the British signed The Treaty of London in London 1824. This treaty stated that all colonies that belonged to the Dutch from 1801 be returned to the Dutch Administrators.

  3966. The Ten Great Campaigns (Chinese: 十全武功; pinyin: Shíquán Wǔgōng) were a series of military campaigns launched by the Qing dynasty of China in the mid–late 18th century during the reign of the Qianlong Emperor (r. 1735–1796). They included three to enlarge the area of Qing control in Inner Asia: two against the Dzungars (1755–1757) and the "pacification" of Xinjiang (1758–1759). The other seven campaigns were more in the nature of police actions on frontiers already established: two wars to suppress the Gyalrong of Jinchuan, Sichuan, another to suppress the Taiwanese Aboriginals (1787–88), and four expeditions abroad against the Burmese (1765–1769), the Vietnamese (1788–1789), and the Gurkhas on the border between Tibet and Nepal (1790–1792), with the last counting as two. President Xi's argument is based on historical Imperial China's Ten Great Campaigns (Chinese: 十全武功; pinyin: Shíquán Wǔgōng). China current's territorial dispute is based on Imperial China's Ten Great Campaigns. History is repeating itself.

  3999. Before Euromaidan, Russia started a trade war against Ukraine, forcing Yanukovych to sign a base rental extension agreement that breached Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17 disallows foreign military bases after 2017. Read the Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17 which disallows foreign military bases after 2017. CONSTITUTION OF UKRAINE Adopted at the Fifth Session of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on 28 June 1996 Article 17 The location of foreign military bases shall not be permitted on the territory of Ukraine. Yanukovych breached the Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17. After 2017, Ukraine's constitution is incompatible with foreign military bases hosting either NATO or CSTO. If Yanukovych didn't sign the military base rental extension, Russia would be kicked out of Crimea. Putin's narrative is FALSE. Putin's pressure caused Yanukovych to make a mistake. --- Every country has the right to operate a biolab and Ukraine did NOT invade another country. Basic pathology blood test requires a bio lab. Saddam's Iraq invaded two other countries i.e. Kuwait and Iran. Remember, Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum exchanged Ukraine's nuclear WMD for security assurances from US, UK, and Russia. France and China signed a watered-down Budapest Memorandum. Budapest Memorandum requires Ukraine to join Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty as part of Ukraine's nuclear WMD disarmament. Tucker is ignorant of Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum. Did you know Australia has similar security assurances like Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum and Australia does NOT have a NATO Article V level guarantee with the US? From 1950 to the 1960s, Australia detonated nuclear bombs as a joint partner with the UK. Australia has many Biolabs for agriculture, animal health, human health and 'etc'.

Quoting Out Of The Shadows: RNLAF experiences with the F-35A - Combat Aircraft Magazine May 2018 specifically against David Axe's report Knight divulged a little more information about flying basic fighter manoeuvres (BFM) in an F-35. 'When our envelope was cleared to practise BFM we got the opportunity to fight some fourth-generation fighters. Remember, back the rumors were that the F-35 was a pig. The first time the opponents showed up [in the training area] they had wing tanks along with a bunch of missiles. I guess they figured that being in a dirty configuration wouldn't really matter and that they would still easily outmanoeuvre us. By the end of the week, though, they had dropped their wing tanks, transitioned to a single centerline fuel tank and were still doing everything they could not to get gunned by us. A week later they stripped the jets clean of all external stores, which made the BFM fights interesting, to say the least.

The reinvestment of oil export proceeds has sometimes been called petrodollar recycling. Does the U.S. dollar's global role depend on its use to settle oil sales? No, the U.S. dollar is used to settle oil sales because of its wide global acceptance. That acceptance makes it easier for oil exporters to invest the export proceeds. Is the petroyuan in sight? Oil exporters are free to accept payment in a currency of their choosing. Accepting Chinese currency would be most useful for investment in, and purchases from, China. Chinese capital markets are much smaller and less liquid than those in the U.S., and Chinese currency is not widely accepted outside China.

  4030. 1. Before Euromaidan, Russia successfully used political and economic leverage to dissuade Ukraine from signing the E.U. deal. In the months prior to the Vilnius summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin engaged in a trade war with Kyiv, blocking nearly all imports from Ukraine and cutting energy supplies to the country. In turn, this reduced Ukrainian exports by 25 percent and shrank the economy by 1.5 percent. Ukraine Constitution 1991, Article 17, disallows foreign military bases after 2017. According to former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, Ukraine's constitution forbids the country from hosting foreign military bases after 2017. Yanukovych breached the Ukraine Constitution 1991, Article 17. After 2017, Ukraine's constitution is incompatible with foreign military bases hosting either NATO or CSTO. In 2018, President Petro Poroshenko's constitution amendment allowed temporary foreign military bases. If Yanukovych didn't sign the military base rental extension, Russia would be kicked out of Crimea. Pootin lies. 2. Russia started a hot war against Ukraine. Pootin lies.

Agreement between 'RS' and Bosnian Government to a ceasefire in Sarajevo, negotiated by Lieutenant-General Sir Michael Rose, then Commander of UN forces in Bosnia. >Afghanistan Osama Bin Laden's group in Afghanistan has executed strikes inside the US. >Libya NATO STOPPED the bloody civil war in Libya. Putin STARTED the bloody war in Ukraine. On 16 August 2003, Libya formally admitted responsibility for Pan Am Flight 103 (Lockabie bombing) in a letter presented to the president of the United Nations Security Council. "On 10 March 2011, France was the first country in the world to recognise the National Transitional Council as the legitimate government of Libya". United Nations Security Council Resolution 1973 was adopted by the United Nations Security Council on 17 March 2011 in response to the First Libyan Civil War. The Security Council resolution was proposed by France, Lebanon, and the United Kingdom. Muammar Gaddafi played stupid games and win stupid prizes. If, however, you are referring to the NATO intervention in Libya, that was NATO agreeing to enforce a United Nations Security Council Resolution. It was never intended as a permanent expansion of the Alliance to embrace Libya nor to establish a NATO base in the country. >Iraq Iraq invaded Kuwait. Iraq STARTED the bloody war in Kuwait.

  4066. SeaToby11 From RAAF's F-22A vs F-15D (with DRFM) “…the ability to actually have that data fusion that the aeroplane has makes an incredible difference to how you perform in combat. I saw it first hand on a Red Flag mission in an F15D against a series of fifth-generation F22s. We were actually in the red air. In five engagements we never knew who had hit us and we never even saw the other aeroplane…. After that particular mission I went back and had a look at the tapes on the F22, and the difference in the situational awareness in our two cockpits was just so fundamentally different. That is the key to fifth-generation. That is where I have trouble with the APA analysis…. To me that is key: it is not only stealth; it is the combination of the EOS and the radar to be able to build a comprehensive picture. In that engagement I talked about at Nellis, in Red Flag, the ability to be in a cockpit with a God’s-eye view of what is going on in the world was such an advantage over a fourth-generation fighter – and arguably one of the best fourth-generation fighters in existence, the F15. But even with a DRFM jamming pipe, we still had no chance in those particular engagements. And at no time did any of the performance characteristics that you are talking about have any relevance to those five engagements. ------------- According to the Norwegian pilot, F-35A can dogfight and shoot down F-16 without the need for stealth.

  4077. http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2016/dec/06/donald-trump/fact-checking-donald-trumps-tweet-air-force-one-bo/ The Air Force has published a budgetary document that says research, development, testing and evaluation of the new Air Force Ones -- officially known as the Presidential Aircraft Recapitalization -- will cost $2.87 billion between fiscal years 2015 and 2021. However, the project is expected to extend beyond 2021, and experts told PolitiFact it would likely require another $1 billion in subsequent years to finish the job. The Teal Group has estimated that the project will require an additional $858 million between fiscal years 2022 and 2026.That adds up to a grand total of $3.73 billion over 12 years. That’s not "more than $4 billion," as Trump said, but it’s reasonably close -- and it’s no secret that defense contracts have a history of escalating in cost over time. Already, in response to inquiries from the media after Trump’s tweet, an Air Force spokesman told reporters to expect the interim $2.7 billion figure "to change as the program matures."So as a raw number, Trump’s $4 billion figure is in the ballpark.

  4082. Matthew Ray Range F-15E Combat radius: 790 mi (1,150 mi (max)) Ferry range: 2,400 mi (2,100 nmi, 3,900 km) with conformal fuel tank and three external fuel tanks. Ferry range has no weapons. Rafale Combat radius: 1,852+ km (1,000+ nmi) on penetration mission. Range: 3,700+ km (2,000+ nmi)  with 3 drop tanks. F-35A's range with 2500 lb tactical load out is 3000km with just internal fuel tank. Adaptive engine increase the range to around 3900 Km Israel is working on conformal fuel tank solution for F-35 for greater range e.g. >3000 km or adaptive engine >3900 km. F-35A Maximum speed: Mach 1.6+ (1,200 mph, 1,930 km/h) (tested to Mach 1.61) Very little difference between internal weapons loaded or clean. Dassault_Rafale Maximum speed(clean):  Mach 1.8 (1,912 km/h, 1,032 knots) Note the MPH or km/h numbers. F-35's Mach number is being down played, while MPH or  km/h are  similar to F-18E/F and Rafale. Speed of sound is not a constant Altitude vs speed of sound sea level = 761 MPH 10000 feet = 734 MPH 20000 feet = 701 MPH 30000 feet = 678 MPH 40000 feet = 660 MPH 50000 feet = 660 MPH With internal weapons bay, F-35A would be faster than Rafale and F-18E/F. F-35's stealth is just an extra layer in addition to it's counter-measures i.e. "break the kill chain" which makes it harder to get a missile lock. There's a difference between missile lock and detection. F-35A is not another B2 or F-117 i.e. F-35A's main goal is F-16 like fighter with stealth and longer transits range. USAF's F-35 has better stealth than F-22. Year 2012 Block 2A is long past and it's nearly year 2015 Block 2B. Australia has delayed their main F-35 purchases to around 2019 to 2023. "Lockheed Martin's development roadmap extends until 2021, including a Block 6 engine improvement in 2019" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_Martin_F-35_Lightning_II#Engines The latest  F-35s orders are without engines.

  4106. macfly72 , On the ATLC Air Forces Monthly had an article, "The Big Fight", about the Advanced Tactical Leadership Course (ATLC) in its April 2010 issue. The successive article (same issue), "Justifiably Proud!", was an interview with Lt. Col. Fabrice Grandclaudon, Commander of EC 1/7. "AFM: You apparently said 'the Rafale rubbed F-22 - the most modern fighter of the USAF. During six encounters the F-22 hit its goal only once'. The 27th FS doesn't remember the engagements that way and say the F-22 scored several victories against Rafale. Did you offer DACT to the Raptors and did they decline? I did not say we 'rubbed them', I said that there was only one shot claimed (ie a simulated kill) for the six that were set-up. I read in a recent issue of Air et Cosmos that it was two. As far as I am concerned, one or two shots of six Basic Fighter Manoeuvres (BFM) encounters is a victory for the F-22 but not an overwhelming one. Not like the one we claimed against the Typhoons after combat in Solenzara, Corsica during September (9 set-up: 8 to 1 for the Rafale*). The other set-ups versus F-22s were terminated for combat deck, an un-decisive situation or lack of fuel. We never shot them down, but we hope to do so soon since we are quite good opposition for them, and it is in the pilot's spirit not to give up! Like almost every nation, we offered Beyond Visual Range DACT, of course, but the F-22 was only authorized to do BFM 1v1 Within Visual Range (WVR) versus foreign countries (except the UK, with whom they did not fight even in the BFMs). I wish we could have done so, but we didn't - which bring me back to Air et Cosmos, where its information about BVR engagement with AMRAAM in stealth mode is wrong: besides the fact that we did not even fly BVR vs F-22s! F-22 was fitted with some specific device to increase their radar signature. It enabled us to have contact with them during work ups for example. But that's not the point here." ------------- 1. "one or two shots of six Basic Fighter Manoeuvres (BFM) encounters is a victory for the F-22" . 2. "We never shot them down" on another setup. Note that F-22s has to increase it's RCS for the training. In a real combat, F-22A's specific device to increase their radar signature would be turned off and Rafale's pilots would have comparably inferior situation awareness than F-22's pilots since Rafale's pilots wouldn't be aware of F-22A's specific location i.e. it's another F-22's mass (simulated) killing of F-15s type scenario. Without F-22A's RCS booster, Rafale's pilots wouldn't be able to locate the F-22s for training.

"Speed (full internal weapons load) Mach 1.6 (~1,200 mph)" http://www.af.mil/AboutUs/FactSheets/Display/tabid/224/Article/478441/f-35a-lightning-ii-conventional-takeoff-and-landing-variant.aspx https://www.nasa.gov/centers/armstrong/news/FactSheets/FS-006-DFRC.html F/A-18 has Mach 1.8 ( 1190 mph ). Speed of sound is not a constant https://www.grc.nasa.gov/www/k-12/WindTunnel/Activities/knots_vs_mph.html Refer to I.C.A.O. Standard Atmosphere table. Altitude (relates to air density) vs speed of sound example sea level = 761 MPH 10000 feet = 734 MPH 20000 feet = 701 MPH 30000 feet = 678 MPH 40000 feet = 660 MPH 50000 feet = 660 MPH Using NASA's speed of sound for F/A-18, F-35's 1200 mph yields mach 1.815. LM is using about 10,000 feet's 734 MPH speed of sound. Using 40,000 ft's 660 Mph speed of sound yields mach 1.81 i.e. 1200 Mph / 660 Mph = 1.81

From http://www.airforce.gov.au/Technology/Future-Acquisitions/F-35A-Lightning-II/?RAAF-ZRnYQhJUh1u0e44uR32olOT1rt+Ym4K3 "The first F-35 aircraft will arrive in Australia in 2018 and the first squadron, Number 3 Squadron, will be operational in 2021.  All 72 aircraft are expected to be fully operational by 2023" "The total capital cost of $12.4 billion for this acquisition includes the cost of associated facilities, weapons and training." "Around $1.6 billion in new facilities and infrastructure will be constructed, including at RAAF Base Williamtown in New South Wales and RAAF Base Tindal in the Northern Territory." ---- Australia is upgrading it's air bases together with F-35s. Some JSF countries wouldn't be bothered with airbase upgrades. Minus the airbase upgrades, its $150 million AUD for each F-35A which includes the cost of weapons and training. Australian Dollar is slightly weaker than US Dollar i.e. that's about 131 million dollar per F-35A unit that includes new weapons. Fighters without weapons are useless. Rafale's program cost to date is around €45.9 billion (Y2013) with 130 units (June 2014). That's about 61.27 billion USD. F-35's program cost to date is around $50 billion USD (Y2013) with 100 units. Euro currency is higher than USD. The reason for near $400 billion USD is due to United States' 2,443 aircraft purchase which is magnitude larger than France's Rafale fleet.. ----------- Reference for F-35 program cost. On 21 August 2013 C-Span reported that Congressional Quarterly and the Government Accountability Office were indicating the "total estimated program cost now is $400b—nearly twice the initial cost". The current investment was documented as approximately $50 billion. The projected $316 billion cost in development and procurement spending was estimated through 2037 at an average of $12.6 billion per year. F-35's critics doesn't apply the same max fuel loads to Russian Flankers i.e. being double standards. From  http://www.f-16.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=23442&sid=bbbc450dad2955377ec5ed7615c49fcc&start=15 Flankers can do quite limited maneuvering capability (max being about 4.5 G's IIRC) with maximum internal fuel load and to do 9 G's they need to be at about 50-60% of maximum internal fuel load. Sukhoi describes the normal takeoff weight as being with only 5270 kg of internal fuel, which is awfully little for a such powerful jet. Su-27/30/33/35 can't have both full maneuverability AND full internal fuel load simultaneously. IIRC this is because the full fuel load adversely affects the center of gravity of the plane, making it nose-heavy. I don't think there is any similar restrictions with F-35. The Vanila Su-27SK had limitation with its internal wing fuel tanks. It had a low wing loading, so if there was fuel in the wing tanks, it was limited to 6G load, until it reached 5600kg of fuel(empty wing tanks). I have not heard of any limitation about it being unballanced(COG) the way you discribe here. ----------- Flankers has it's own G loading issues i.e. effective A2A config for Flankers is around 12700 pound fuel. F-15E can have 14076 lbs of fuel + two CFT (4785 lbs) without significantly changing it's G force performance e.g. 8.0 G.

  4117. ***** Russian data links wasn't that important for scenarios that involves gun fight setups i.e. F-15C was able to exploit SU-30MKI's speed killing manoeuvres by implementing energy manoeuvrability bias tactics. F-15C has lower baseline wing loading than SU-30MKI(or any Flankers). Pro-F-15C camp has created tactics to kill F-22's speed killing manoeuvres/high angle of attack and these tactics was recycled for combating SU-30MKI.  Rookie F-22 pilots use their fighters like Flankers with speed killing manoeuvres/high angle of attack tactics instead of using F-22's low wing loading features. USAF didn't like YF-17/F-18L's high angle of attack/speed killing manoeuvres style tactics. F-18L is the air force for F/A-18 version with 9 G rating. F-35A attempts to combine F-16 and F-18L flight characteristics into one aircraft. F-35C attempts to advance USN fighters with low wing loading fighter i.e. it's substantially lower than the classic Hornet, Super Hornet, Flankers and Fulcrums.

  4123.  @KabelkowyJoe  Amiga 3000's chipset integration level is inferior when it has an Agnus memory controller and a Ramsey memory controller. Super Buster chip handles the Zorro slots. Super DMAC chip handles DMA interface for SCSI controller with Ramsey memory controller. Commodore wasn't able to integrate the Ramsey memory controller, Super Buster and Super DMAC. Commodore management didn't allow Agnus ECS to be upgraded i.e. "read my lips, no new chips" mandate for Amiga 3000's R&D. 1989 Amiga 500 Rev 6A already has Agnus ECS, and memory controller design was frozen in 1985 design.

Furthermore, Rafale is limited to single data link to it's data linked enabled missiles. Then there's restricted information access for the French side with certain non-French weapons systems e.g. a problem with French DCNS with U.S. combat systems for Australia's new submarine plans. Other solution such as EF, Gripen and F35 are out-of-the-box supports US and EU (minus French missiles e.g. MICA) sourced missiles. Your statement for Russian missile support for Rafale is a red herring for Canada. Another problem for Rafale is the industrial offsets i.e. F-16 has beaten the competition with industrial offsets. Industrial offsets are scaled to it's largest customer. The recent F-16V build already has a new customer i.e. Taiwan. For cheap 4.5 gen solution is to upgrade F-16C/D Block 25 to Block 52+ then F-16V configuration. France can't beat U.S. market dumping/flooding F-16C/D Block 25s. http://breakingdefense.com/documents/services-set-ioc-dates-for-f-35s-confidence-is-the-watchword/   The Air Force F-35A will reach the IOC milestone by December 2016. Note that these current fighter solutions are will be rendered obsolete with USAF's 6th gen laser optimised fighter aircraft i.e. aircraft designed around a gun i.e. laser.

  4165. Actually, Xbox 360 has more advanced unified shader GPU over PS3. PS3's CELL SPE was busy patching the  aging NVIDIA RSX GPU. From forum.beyond3d.com/showthread.php?t=57736&page=5 I could go on for pages listing the types of things the spu's are used for to make up for the machines aging gpu, which may be 7 series NVidia but that's basically a tweaked 6 series NVidia for the most part. But I'll just type a few off the top of my head: 1) Two ppu/vmx units There are three ppu/vmx units on the 360, and just one on the PS3. So any load on the 360's remaining two ppu/vmx units must be moved to spu. 2) Vertex culling You can look back a few years at my first post talking about this, but it's common knowledge now that you need to move as much vertex load as possible to spu otherwise it won't keep pace with the 360. 3) Vertex texture sampling You can texture sample in vertex shaders on 360 just fine, but it's unusably slow on PS3. Most multi platform games simply won't use this feature on 360 to make keeping parity easier, but if a dev does make use of it then you will have no choice but to move all such functionality to spu. 4) Shader patching Changing variables in shader programs is cake on the 360. Not so on the PS3 because they are embedded into the shader programs. So you have to use spu's to patch your shader programs. 5) Branching You never want a lot of branching in general, but when you do really need it the 360 handles it fine, PS3 does not. If you are stuck needing branching in shaders then you will want to move all such functionality to spu. 6) Shader inputs You can pass plenty of inputs to shaders on 360, but do it on PS3 and your game will grind to a halt. You will want to move all such functionality to spu to minimize the amount of inputs needed on the shader programs. 7) MSAA alternatives Msaa runs full speed on 360 gpu needing just cpu tiling calculations. Msaa on PS3 gpu is very slow. You will want to move msaa to spu as soon as you can. 8)Post processing 360 is unified architecture meaning post process steps can often be slotted into gpu idle time. This is not as easily doable on PS3, so you will want to move as much post process to spu as possible. 9) Load balancing 360 gpu load balances itself just fine since it's unified. If the load on a given frame shifts to heavy vertex or heavy pixel load then you don't care. Not so on PS3 where such load shifts will cause frame drops. You will want to shift as much load as possible to spu to minimize your peak load on the gpu. *10) Half floats You can use full floats just fine on the 360 gpu. On the PS3 gpu they cause performance slowdowns. If you really need/have to use shaders with many full floats then you will want to move such functionality over to the spu's.* 11) Shader array indexing You can index into arrays in shaders on the 360 gpu no problem. You can't do that on PS3. If you absolutely need this functionality then you will have to either rework your shaders or move it all to spu.Etc, etc, etc...

  4205. Xpenguin17revived YOU are WRONG you stupid clown.  The Korean peninsula had been occupied by Japan from 1910. On August 9, 1945, in the closing days of World War Two, the Soviet Union declared war on Japan and advanced into Korea. Though the Soviet declaration of war had been agreed by the Allies at the Yalta Conference, the US government became concerned at the prospect of all of Korea falling under Soviet control. The US government therefore requested Soviet forces halt their advance at the 38th parallel north, leaving the south of the peninsula, including the capital, Seoul, to be occupied by the US. This was incorporated into General Order No. 1 to Japanese forces after the Surrender of Japan on August 15. On August 24, the Red Army entered Pyongyang and established a military government over Korea north of the parallel. American forces landed in the south on September 8 and established the United States Army Military Government in Korea. The divided Korea mirrored the divided Germany between USSR and West (France/UK/US). They split between the sphere of influence of USSR and USA. China, Korea and Japan issues are old conflicts. In AD 663 the Battle of Baekgang took place, the first China-Japanese conflict in recorded history. The battle was part of the ancient relationships between the Korean Three Kingdoms (Samguk or Samhan), the Japanese Yamato, and Chinese dynasties. The battle itself came near the conclusion of this period with the fall of Baekje, one of the Samguk or three Korean kingdoms, coming on the heels of this battle. Btw. I'm not from England. Your assumptions amounts to fiction. PRC also has capitalist system with "Chinese characteristics". Try again. Go back to school.

In July 1920, Poland was losing the Polish–Soviet War and was in full retreat. The Lithuanians followed retreating Polish troops to secure the territory, assigned to Lithuania by the Soviet–Lithuanian Peace Treaty. The Soviets were the first to enter Vilnius. When Poland achieved a major victory in the Battle of Warsaw and forced the Soviets to retreat in August 1920, Lithuanians defended their new borders. Poland did not recognize the Peace Treaty and claimed that Lithuania had become a Soviet ally. Fighting broke out in the Suwałki Region. During the Battle of the Niemen River, Poland attacked Lithuania on a wide front. The battle drastically altered the military situation and left Vilnius open to an attack. Under pressure from the League of Nations, Poland signed the Suwałki Agreement on October 7, 1920. The agreement drew a new demarcation line, which was incomplete and did not provide protection to Vilnius. Finland's war with Soviets was just two sided war..

While the aircraft and exhaust are clearly visible against the sky background in the flypast, it is clear that such image is taken with maximum gain, which isn’t likely to be useful for normal operation. In other shots that are tuned to show the exhaust heat, the aircraft itself almost blends with background, as it would be, when seen in a front view that masks most of the jet exhaust. Low contrast objects would be less detectable by thermal imagers, at long range.

  4218. ***** Only some Aussies e.g. RepSim Pty Ltd, AirPowerAustralia.   http://www.asiapacificdefencereporter.com/articles/250/Exercise-Pitch-Black  Perhaps the question uppermost on everyone’s minds was how the Flankers compared to equivalent Western aircraft. There is something of a fascination with the legendary status of this aerodynamic fighter, but one official stated categorically that none of the international partners felt outclassed by it. When pressed about the capabilities of the Flankers during an interview, one spokesman remained suitably vague: “The Hornets and Sukhois are having interesting fights with various outcomes. The Hornets have done fairly well, even during 1v1.” WGCDR Jones said Australian pilots were getting a “buzz out of working with a new platform,” but he too declined to offer an opinion on the capabilities of the Flankers. Instead he diplomatically said, “I remain very comfortable that we have the Super Hornet in RAAF service.” GPCAPT Kitcher assessed the Super Hornets as enjoying parity with the Flankers, but that “a pilot’s skill is the most important factor”. ------------- RAAF contradicted RepSim Pty Ltd's and AirPowerAustralia's Sukhois hype with actual Indonesian SU-27SMK and SU-30MKII. RAAF  has observed Thailand's Gripen NG and Singapore's F-16C Block 50 and F-15SG.

  4226. Matthew Ray July 21/14: EIS. The Australian government releases the F-35’s draft Environmental Impact statement Generally, it is predicted that noise levels from the F-35A aircraft will be within a similar range or less than that of the F/A-18A/B Hornet aircraft. In the long-term, the introduction of the F-35A aircraft is predicted to provide a reduction in the number of noise events above the N70 rating (above 70 dB LAmax) and N85 rating (above 85 dB LAmax) in key populated areas surrounding the bases. Areas of Medowie (near RAAF Base Williamtown) are the only areas predicted to experience an increase in the number of noise events above the N70 and N85 ratings. Existing noise mitigation measures for the flying operations of the F/A-18A/B Hornet aircraft will continue to be implemented for the proposed flying operations of the F-35A aircraft. RAAF will also implement additional mitigation measures for the F-35A aircraft to lower potential exposure to high level noise events by adopting a reduced thrust setting during climb and limiting afterburner use on departure, when operationally safe to do so

At 9.6.5 it concludes: "Instantaneous noise levels at RAAF Base Williamtown" – "It is predicted that instantaneous noise levels at RAAF Base Williamtown and the adjacent passenger terminal will be comparable between the F/A-18A/B Hornet aircraft and the F-35A aircraft and below the Commonwealth and NSW Work Health and Safety Regulation criteria of 140dB for the protection of hearing. There may be unexpected periods of increased afterburner use, which could result in external noise levels approaching, or exceeding Commonwealth and NSW Work Health and Safety Regulation criteria. Management measures already in place at RAAF Base Williamtown will be used to maintain use noise levels within Commonwealth and NSW Work Health and Safety Regulation criteria." ....

Matthew Ray From http://breakingdefense.com/2014/06/gen-mike-hostage-on-the-f-35-no-growlers-needed-when-war-starts/3/ General Mike Hostage On The F-35 vs F-16 The F-35, he says, has “at least” the maneuverability and thrust and weight of the F-16. The F-35 is to the F-22 as the F-16 is to the F-15. This is USAF's expectation for F-35A Block 3F, but it's not F-22A. Blame USAF for spec'ing F-35A as current service F-16C. USN is looking at LM's F-35C-Plus proposal for F/A-XX i.e. it should be a double engine F-35C that goes beyond F-35C Block 6 (which includes engine upgrade).  LM has offered both a clean sheet design or upgraded F-35C-Plus variant for F/A-XX. There's very little point building the 4th F-35 variant if  F-35C Block 6 covers USN's F/A-XX requirement.   View http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/aircraft/images/f-22_yf-22_comp.jpg Notice the wing shape difference between YF-22 vs F-22A   F-35A's top view plan. http://www.aerospaceweb.org/question/planes/f35/f16-f35-f22.jpg F-35C's top view plan. http://internetlooks.com/f35ccf01100c.jpg Notice F-35's wing shape almost recycles YF-22's wing shape. A double engine F-35C-Plus is more or less YF-22 for USN. F-22's massive >70000 lbf engines pushes the fighter to mach 2.2+. F-35's aero shaping is similar to YF-22 but with a weaker engine solution i.e. missing an engine. Australia has announced they will be replacing Super Hornets after 72 F-35A units with future F-35 units. We don't know if Australia's purchasing plans follows USN's F/A-XX program.    Buying YF-22 class fighter via F-35C-Plus variant back door would be nicer for Australia. US already has  F-35 based RAM coating with mach 2.2 considerations from F-22 Lot 9. Empty weight wing loading F-35C (240-4 build) Wing area: 668 ft² Empty weight: 32,072 lbs Additional F-135 engine: 3800 lbs New empty weight: 35872 lbs Wing Loading: 53.7 lbs/ sq feet F-22A (USAF) Wing area: 840 ft² Empty weight: 43340 lb Wing loading: 51.59 lbs/ sq feet. <--- Notice how close is the double engine F-35C to F-22A. F-35C-Plus with two 43000 lbf engines would be T/W monster. They may need to expand the wing area for the additional 3800 lb weight engine. Might as well build updated F-22A and rename it as F-35D or F-35E. If Super Hornet gets dumped during 2025 to 2030 time period, F-35C-Plus would be quickest solution for completion. Obama will be out of office sometime in 2016.

Read http://www.rand.org/news/press/2008/09/25.html “Recently, articles have appeared in the Australian press with assertions regarding a war game in which analysts from the RAND Corporation were involved. Those reports are not accurate. RAND did not present any analysis at the war game relating to the performance of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, nor did the game attempt detailed adjudication of air-to-air combat. Neither the game nor the assessments by RAND in support of the game undertook any comparison of the fighting qualities of particular fighter aircraft.” http://www.defense-aerospace.com/article-view/verbatim/133273/f_35-fares-worse-in-rand-wargame.html Mr Price : No, sorry; you will not read a RAND report of that activity.

The overall context was an acquisition focus about building the United States military force capable of independently engaging a near-peer competitor on their own turf with the densest and most dangerous integrated air defence system. I was asked why I needed to upgrade the F22 if I had the F35. I said in that context a reduced USAA F fleet of 763 F35s — we had just finished a conversation on how I needed 1 , 763 F35s and not a single aircraft less — would not provide the air combat capability necessary without the additional 180-plus F22 s.

Only F-35C's wing loading can rival F-22A's wing loading. USAF spec'ed F-35A as F-16 like fighter with F-18's high AoA, hence the blame falls down to USAF. F-35C (recent 240-4 build) Wing area: 668 ft² (larger than F-15C) Empty weight: 32,072 lbs (similar to F-15E) For F-35C, it needs an engine higher F-15C's  47,540 lbf of thrust.

F-22A's two 37000 (using the info F-16.net web site) engines pushes the aircraft to around Mach 2.184 to 2.25, so 66 percent empty weight would equate to 48840 lbf class engine (using 2.184 number).

What is a refugee The 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees (the 1951 Refugee Convention) is the key international legal document defining who is a refugee, their rights and the legal obligations of countries that are signatories to the 1951 Refugee Convention.[1] Article 1A(2) of the 1951 Refugee Convention defines a ‘refugee’ as: a person who is outside his country of nationality or habitual residence has a well-founded fear of persecution because of his race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group or political opinion, and is unable or unwilling to avail himself of the protection of that country, or to return there, for fear of persecution.[2] A Convention ‘refugee’ is different from an ‘asylum seeker’ because the former has had their asylum claims assessed and been found to satisfy the above definition. This assessment can be done by a country that has acceded to the 1951 Refugee Convention or by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). There is no such thing as a ‘genuine refugee’. A refugee by technical definition is simply someone who has been recognised as satisfying the above Convention definition. Further, a person is a refugee within the meaning of the 1951 Convention as soon as they satisfy the above definition. This might actually occur before their refugee status is formally determined by a country or the UNHCR. Refugee status is therefore declaratory in nature—in that a refugee does not become a refugee because they have been recognised to be one but rather, they are recognised because they are a refugee.[3] 1951 Refugee Convention refers to person's safety not picking 2nd or 3rd country with perceive better economic conditions than the first safe country, hence "economic queue jumpers" for those who didn't stay in the first safe country. 1951 Refugee Convention has morphed into something else that caused open border/uncontrolled border policy which effectively overridden the nation's sovereignty.

Officials must still verify this claim “with more data,” she told reporters on June 9 during a company-sponsored media day in Arlington, Va. She noted that Air Combat Command chief Gen. Mike Hostage recently told Breaking Defense that the F-35 needs no jamming support from other aircraft, such as Boeing’s EF-18G Growler, in a heavily defended battlespace to “go where it needs to go.” Hostage said the F-35 actually has better stealth than the F-22. “I can’t say some of those things” due to classification, commented Martin, but she said Hostage accurately represented the F-35’s capabilities. The Growler and similar platforms are going to be “helpful” if there are “fourth generation aircraft … and they need some protection,” but the F-35 has “all the stealth we said it would have,” and can “get in and get out safely with the electronic warfare it has on it,” she asserted. The F-35’s stealth is checked as it exits production and again just before government acceptance. “And, after we fly it a few months, we put it back through the [stealth test] range and verify the stealth is still there,” said Martin. ------------------- Apples to apple comparison WITH engine fuel consumption rates.

  4257. Sean Dutton It's just an estimation. A viable scramjet fighter could render F-35 obsolete. It depends on the gap between F-35 program and 6th generation F-X program. At this time, F-35 program mostly focused on replacing F-16C, classic F-18 and Harrier II.

In the F-35, Lockheed made the decision to limit the AOA to 50°, but test pilots have flown the aircraft well past that. The high AOA limit gives the F-35 "great" instantaneous turn performance. "We knew that 50°, from our years of research, is about as far as you need to go to take advantage of the aerodynamic performance" of the jet, Flynn says. "There is no reason to be there [at extreme AOA]; you're not going to get much more capability at 75° than you would at 50°." PS; Air Force Reserve Col.

In the meantime, he adds “we tried to build strong cooperation with Moscow.” He cites the 2002 Russia-NATO council, a development of the 1997 Act, which serves as a mechanism for cooperation, consensus building and joint-decision making. “We do share common interests. We cooperated on counter terrorism in Afghanistan, counter narcotics and counter piracy,” says Rasmussen.

This is why countries like South Korea and Japan are requesting the same AUKUS deal. Australia's ANZUS treaty doesn't have a NATO Article V quality. Japan can enrich fissile material into weapons-grade and the US ordered that the Japanese highly enrich fissile materials be stored in the US. The US told Taiwan and South Korea to halt the nuclear weapons program in exchange for US security assurances. If the US can't fulfill its security assurance promise, then the NPT rules-based order is dead. A significant number of GOP voters want the US to exit from defense treaties. A significant number of politicians want the US to block the AUKUS agreement. A significant number of GOP voters and politicians want the US to block an Australian company that enriches US nuclear fuels. Democrats and mainstream GOP politicians already warned GOP isolationists that Australia and UK are prepared to unilaterally proceed with the AUKUS agreement. Are you aware the leftist Canadian government has recently switched to supporting the CANZUK initiative? There is doubt about US's long-term security assurance commitment even from Five Eyes. Budapest Memorandum wasn't the 1st treaty with the US offering security assurances for another country's halting the nuclear weapons program. The EU should prepare for its own defense when GOP isolationists gain power in the US and executes unilateral defense treaty exits.

And none of them believe that Russia would have pulled this stunt if Ukraine still had their weapons,” “I knew that President Putin did not support the agreement [then-Russian] President [Boris] Yeltsin made never to interfere with Ukraine’s territorial boundaries – an agreement he made because he wanted Ukraine to give up their nuclear weapons,” “They were afraid to give them up because they thought that’s the only thing that protected them from an expansionist Russia,” --- Budapest Memorandum was not the 1st treaty with the US offering security assurances for another country's halting the nuclear weapons program.

  4310.  @sebe2255  "Security assurance" is weaker than a "security guarantee", hence it's only military hardware aid, intelligence support, financial aid, and trade sanctions which is similar to the US support level for China when Imperial Japan invaded China. Australia's ANZUS treaty doesn't have a "security guarantee". With Budapest Memorandum, these are actions that the United States owes Ukraine for giving up nuclear arms on its territory. In 1994, Washington wrote Kyiv a check for U.S. support in the Budapest memorandum—albeit hoping that it would never be cashed. Unfortunately, it has. This is not just a matter of assisting Ukraine in the fulfillment of U.S. obligations. It is also about preserving the credibility of "security assurances" for the future.

  4311.  @sebe2255  Security assurances such as those in the Budapest memorandum do not carry as much weight as NATO security guarantees. Still, security assurances have played a role in the effort to freeze and end North Korea’s nuclear program. These kinds of assurances may not by themselves offer major leverage. However, when looking for ways to prevent nuclear proliferation, Washington and its partners should marshal every possible tool. The problem is that Russia’s actions against Ukraine have discredited security assurances. If a North Korean diplomat were to ask his or her Ukrainian counterpart how the Budapest memorandum worked out, the response would not be a happy one. At a September conference in Kyiv, former President Leonid Kuchma, who signed the Budapest memorandum for Ukraine, said that Ukraine had been “cheated.” Prime Minister Arseniy Yatseniuk referred to the “notorious” Budapest memorandum. Such comments do not make good advertisements for future security assurances. Washington cannot undo Russia’s violations. It can and should, however, do more to fulfill its obligations under the Budapest memorandum by doing more to bolster Ukraine and penalize Russia until Moscow alters its policy. Such U.S. action could also change the Ukrainian narrative in the hypothetical conversation with a North Korean diplomat to “the Russians violated the memorandum, but the Americans backed us to the fullest and made Moscow pay.” That would help restore credibility to security assurances as an element in the toolkit of America’s non-proliferation diplomacy.

  4312.  @sebe2255  For about 20 years, until the 2014 Russian military occupation of regions of Ukraine, Ukrainian nuclear disarmament was an exemplary case for nuclear non-proliferation. Since the invasions of Ukraine by Russia, the wisdom of Ukraine relinquishing its nuclear weapons has been questioned, even by former president Bill Clinton, one of its signatories.

  4313.  @sebe2255  The US support for Ukraine is based on US's continual political support. The are many "Tucker Carlson" supporters who argued for halting support for Ukraine regardless of the Budapest Memorandum's security assurances and NPT's rules-based order. Ukraine is not a member of NATO, hence they will not have the US's full military support. "Tucker Carlson" supporters don't care about the lost R&D time for Ukraine to reacquire nuclear weapons i.e. no compensation for the lost R&D time when the US exits Budapest Memorandum. House Republicans are in conflict about funding Ukraine's war effort and Republicans that support Ukraine's war effort will need the Democratic party's votes to pass the related funding bills. When Democrats control the House of Representatives, the vote outcome for the aid package for Ukraine is 368-57 vote. All lawmakers who voted against the bill were Republicans. Republicans currently control the House of Representatives.

  4315.  @sebe2255  There are obligations under Budapest Memorandum's "Respect the signatory's independence and sovereignty in the existing borders" in exchange for Ukraine's nuclear weapons disarmament and joining NPT. US support for Budapest Memorandum is due to other similar security assurances that were exchanged for halting nuclear weapons program agreements and the NPT's "rules-based order". Tawan Relations Act is just security assurance and the US told TW to halt its nuclear program.

  4316.  @sebe2255  >What are those exact obligations? 1. Respect the signatory's independence and sovereignty in the existing borders ---------- Since the Ukraine-Russia crisis erupted, Washington has provided political and economic support to Kyiv, as well as non-lethal military assistance. It has worked with the European Union to put in place increasingly tough sanctions on the Russian economy. Washington provided the Ukrainian military with defensive arms, such as anti-tank weapons. These are actions that the United States owes Ukraine for giving up nuclear arms on its territory. In 1994, Washington wrote Kyiv a check for U.S. support in the Budapest memorandum—albeit hoping that it would never be cashed. Unfortunately, it has. This is not just a matter of assisting Ukraine in the fulfillment of U.S. obligations. It is also about preserving the credibility of other security assurances for the future.

  4318.  @sebe2255  The first document in which the US addressed Ukraine’s security concerns was Bush’s letter to Kravchuk, dated 23 June 1992. Hailing the Lisbon Protocol as a “historical accomplishment” that would help Ukraine reduce “the burden” of the Soviet nuclear legacy, Bush outlined four ways in which Ukraine’s security concerns could be addressed First, Bush formally reaffirmed the United States commitment to all non-nuclear NPT member states: it would seek immediate action in the UN Security Council to provide assistance if Ukraine became “the object of aggression or of threats of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used.” Second, Bush urged Ukraine to put faith in Europe’s new collective security system by participating in the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE), North Atlantic Cooperation Council (NACC) and the UN, whose principle of inviolability of borders helps “assure the security of all states.” Finally, he offered US assistance in the development of Ukraine’s conventional armed forces “whose size, equipment, and doctrine contribute to the security of Ukraine and stability in the region.”

  4319.  @sebe2255  The global repercussions of Russia’s breach of the Memorandum lie in its effects on international nonproliferation and disarmament efforts. Despite its shortcomings, the Memorandum politically bounded Ukraine’s denuclearization to the respect for its territorial integrity by the nuclear powers. Continued, unsanctioned violation of this commitment will provide ample rhetorical ammunition to proliferators in favor of a nuclear deterrent as a remedy for both nuclear and conventional military threats. To dissuade them, the international community will have to invent a more convincing bargain than a security assurance. A nuclear-free world now comes at a dearer price.

  4320.  @sebe2255  The U.S. spent more than $849 billion in the 20-year war in Afghanistan and has spent about $113 billion to support Ukraine since Russia invaded in 2022. The spending packages approved by Congress for Ukraine over the last year have, as we said, totaled roughly $113 billion — $13.6 billion in March, $40 billion in May, $12.35 billion in September, and $47 billion in December — including funding for NATO allies. US aid for Ukraine is cheaper than Vietnam War's $168 billion cost or $1 trillion in today's dollars.

(Not specific for nuclear attack.) 4. Seek immediate Security Council action to provide assistance to the signatory if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used".

  4323.  @sebe2255  The cumulative cost of military intervention in the Iraq/Syria war zone has risen to $2.1 trillion since 9/11 (article dated Aug 2021). Again, US aid for Ukraine is cheaper than either Iraq/Syria or Afghanistan wars. A large chunk of US aid for Ukraine is for US manufacturers building ammo for Ukraine i.e. it's a manufacturing job creation scheme for the US while Ukraine receives the ammo i.e.it's a win-win deal for the US and Ukraine. The same for European NATO countries funding their manufacturing industries building ammo for Ukraine. WTO rules allow a state to fund manufacturing activities for military purposes. 2nd Iraq war intervention wasn't about “security guarantees”. Kuwait didn't have US "security guarantees" before the 1st Gulf War. Saddam's Iraq invaded Kuwait and Iran. A major part of Japan's economic recovery after WW2 was US military-related manufacturing for the Korean War. Putin is the best salesman for NATO. Lockheed and Rheinmetall should give Putin golden handshakes.

  4326.  @sebe2255  >Ukraine is receiving more in aid than Russia’s defense spending. You are just fearmongering over nothing The lesson from Budapest Memorandum's failure are; 1. If you want peace, prepare for war. 2. Feelings are useless without real firepower to back them. 3. Chamberlain's 'Peace for our time' paper is just paper. Failure to fulfill the Budapest Memorandum has proven the futility of nuclear disarmament, demonstrated the complete destruction of the system of collective security, and brought the paradigm of the new century into medieval "rule of force" that creates a potential threat to everyone. The weapon again becomes the main argument in international relations, proving the old almost forgotten rule: if you want peace for your country - elaborately prepare for war. -- Russia blocked Australia's and New Zealand's marine park proposals in Antarctica. It is the eighth year the proposal has been knocked back, with China and Russia voting the proposal down on previous occasions.

  4333.  @daniel86250  That's a false narrative. Both USA and Australia have kicked out the colonial UK government's legislative power. Your argument is racist since it supports racial segregation. The Ten Great Campaigns (Chinese: 十全武功; pinyin: Shíquán Wǔgōng) were a series of military campaigns launched by the Qing dynasty of China in the mid–late 18th century during the reign of the Qianlong Emperor (r. 1735–1796). They included three to enlarge the area of Qing control in Inner Asia: two against the Dzungars (1755–1757) and the "pacification" of Xinjiang (1758–1759). The other seven campaigns were more in the nature of police actions on frontiers already established: two wars to suppress the Gyalrong of Jinchuan, Sichuan, another to suppress the Taiwanese Aboriginals (1787–88), and four expeditions abroad against the Burmese (1765–1769), the Vietnamese (1788–1789), and the Gurkhas on the border between Tibet and Nepal (1790–1792), with the last counting as two. Faced with a powerful China in the northeast and a resurgent Siam in the southeast, Burma's King Bodawpaya and his army invaded eastern territories of India, hence bringing the rising British East India Company into the fray which defeated the Kingdom of Burma. British East India Company is allied with mostly Hindu Maratha Empire. The Maratha Empire allied with the British East India Company (based in the Bengal Presidency) against the Mysore Kingdom. Anglo-Mysore Wars started in 1767. President Xi's argument is based on historical Imperial China's Ten Great Campaigns (Chinese: 十全武功; pinyin: Shíquán Wǔgōng). Imperial China is an imperialist power that led to the engagement with European imperialist empires. Look in the mirror.

  4368.  @gore1089  False narratives. Fraud conviction and reversal After a civil suit in 1999 that reached the Queensland Court of Appeal in 2000, involving disgruntled former One Nation member Terry Sharples and a finding of fraud when registering One Nation as a political party,[147] Hanson was facing bankruptcy. She made an appeal to supporters for donations. On 20 August 2003, a jury in the District Court of Queensland convicted Hanson and David Ettridge of electoral fraud. Both Hanson and Ettridge were sentenced to three years imprisonment for falsely claiming that 500 members of the Pauline Hanson Support Movement were members of the political organisation Pauline Hanson's One Nation to register that organisation in Queensland as a political party and apply for electoral funding. Because the registration was found to be unlawful, Hanson's receipt of electoral funding worth $498,637 resulted in two further convictions for dishonestly obtaining property, each with three-year sentences, to run concurrently with the first. The sentence was widely criticised in the media and by some politicians as being too harsh.[148] The prime minister, John Howard, said that it was "a very long, unconditional sentence" and Bronwyn Bishop said that Hanson was a political prisoner, comparing her conviction with Robert Mugabe's treatment of Zimbabwean opponents.[149] The sentence was widely criticised in the media as being too harsh.[148] On 6 November 2003, delivering judgment the day after hearing the appeal, the Queensland Court of Appeal quashed all of Hanson and Ettridge's convictions. Hanson, having spent 11 weeks in jail, was immediately released along with Ettridge.[150] The court's unanimous decision was that the evidence did not support a conclusion beyond reasonable doubt that the people on the list were not members of the Pauline Hanson's One Nation party and that Hanson and Ettridge knew this when the application to register the party was submitted. Accordingly, the convictions regarding registration were quashed. The convictions regarding funding, which depended on the same facts, were also quashed [149] This decision did not specifically follow the Sharples case, where the trial judge's finding of such fraud had not been overturned in the appeal by Hanson and Ettridge. That case was distinguished as a civil suit – in administrative law, as to the validity of the decision by Electoral Commissioner O'Shea to register the party – in which proof had been only on the balance of probabilities. Chief Justice Paul de Jersey, with whom the other two judges agreed overall, suggested that if Hanson, Ettridge and especially the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions had used better lawyers from the start, the whole matter might not have taken so long up to the appeal hearing, or might even have been avoided altogether. The Court of Appeal president, Margaret McMurdo, rebuked many politicians, including John Howard and Bronwyn Bishop MHR. Their observations, she said, demonstrated at least "a lack of understanding of the Rule of Law" and "an attempt to influence the judicial appellate process and to interfere with the independence of the judiciary for cynical political motives", although she praised other leading Coalition politicians for accepting the District Court's decision ---------------------- Margaret McMurdo was appointed by the ALP government (Peter Beattie)

What's needed is business schools that can teach entrepreneurship i.e. teach them how to fish instead of giving them fish. Forever welfare does NOT help the half a million Aboriginal population. The problem, Australia has a weak manufacturing base to transition the unemployed into low-skill jobs and then into high jobs. This is a national issue and not limited to the Aborigines. Australia follows the WTO rules that discourage consumer product manufacturing to be funded by the government. WTO rules allow cultural-related and national security-related government funding. Australia doesn't have China's WTO entry with a promise clause loophole. From my POV, I'll re-reclassify some areas as "developing" to get around the WTO rules.

UK's Boris Johnson already stated NHS (UK's universal health care system) is not negotiable against Obama Administration's big pharma interest. CPTPP has removed US clauses for US big pharma interest. Within CPTPP, CANZUK = Four of Five Eyes/Five Passport Group with the universal health care system. CANZUK group has the Nordic model. The US is stuck in a time warp with powerful pharma companies that have oversize influence i.e. corporate colonialism. Trump kicked the US out of TPP, hence the remaining TPP members kicked out US clauses. British East India Company is an example of corporate colonialism. "The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries." I'm aware of the Biden Administration working on an alternative with their powerful pharma companies interest that undermines CPTPP.

Significant amount of USN's tonnage was against Japanese navy. WW2 UK has similar aircraft carrier builds as Imperial Japan i.e. around 10 to 11 units. Not including UK, US and Canada other surface combat ships e.g. destroyers, heavy cruisers, battleships and 'etc'. Grand Total: 5,871,638 tons For US, that's already 10.3X times over Germany's iron/steel tonnage extract/production. WW2 Russian navy is small. WW2 German navy is small.

  4426.  @MAINA_THETHERE_1704  Date: March 2017 Kurdistan’s Interior Minister said on Tuesday the Regional Government since its formation had demanded from the federal government to pay compensation to the families of Kurdish victims who suffered genocide, killing, and displacement from the former Iraqi regime. Rebar Ahmed stressed during the Parliament session that in 2014 “we decided to announce Halabja as a governorate,… but perhaps the big problem facing Halabja is that Iraq is not yet ready to recognize it as a governorate. Therefore, the federal government did not allocate a financial budget for it.” Ahmed continued that when the first Kurdish delegation went to Baghdad, it delivered the Prime Minister a request to compensate the victims of the people of Kurdistan with 380 billion dollars for the crimes committed by Saddam Hussein's regime in Halabja, Anfal and to Barzanis, Faili Kurds, and all victims of Baath crimes. The Halabja chemical attack, also known as the Halabja Massacre or Bloody Friday was a massacre of Kurdish people that took place on 16 March 1988, during the closing days of the Iran–Iraq War in the Kurdish city of Halabja in Iraqi Kurdistan. The attack was part of the Al-Anfal Campaign in Kurdistan, as well as part of the Iraqi Army's attempt to repel the Iranian Operation Zafar 7. It took place 48 hours after the capture of the town by the Iranian Army. A United Nations (UN) medical investigation concluded that mustard gas was used in the attack, along with unidentified nerve agents. The incident was the largest chemical weapons attack directed against a civilian-populated area in history, killing between 3,200 and 5,000 people and injuring 7,000 to 10,000 more, most of them civilians. Preliminary results from surveys of the affected region showed an increased rate of cancer and birth defects in the years afterward. The Halabja attack has been officially defined by the Supreme Iraqi Criminal Tribunal as a genocidal massacre against the Kurdish people in Iraq ----

The judges convicted Frans van Anraat, 63, a Dutch businessman, of complicity in war crimes because they said he had known that the materials he sold to Iraq during the rule of former president Saddam Hussein could be used to make lethal poison gas. ---- Pedo UN inspector Scott Ritter's argument smashed.

  4429.  @Black_berry894  Nazies. For Transnistria, the region's origins can be traced to the Moldavian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, which was formed in 1924 within the Ukrainian SSR. During World War II, the Soviet Union took parts of the Moldavian ASSR, which was dissolved, and of the Kingdom of Romania's Bessarabia to form the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic in 1940. The Moldavian SSR, organised by a decision of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR on 2 August 1940, was formed out of a part of Bessarabia (taken from Romania on 28 June, after the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact) and out of a part of the Moldavian ASSR roughly equivalent to present-day Transnistria. Transnistria was a product of NAZI-Germany's and USSR's Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact. Russia is actually supporting the NAZI-era Molotov–Ribbentrop pact It's a byproduct of the UK and Poland defense agreement that only specified Nazi Germany and it watered down USSR's Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact component I wonder who is the real NAZIs.

IBC concluded that, "The pressing need is for more truth rooted in real experience, not the manipulation of numbers disconnected from reality."

  4442.  @user1qaz2wsx3edc  You should study real history For Nigeria and before British colonization, at the beginning of the 19th century, Usman dan Fodio led a successful jihad against the Hausa Kingdoms founding the centralised Sokoto Caliphate. The empire with Arabic as its official language grew rapidly under his rule and that of his descendants, who sent out invading armies in every direction . The vast landlocked empire connected the east with the western Sudan region and made inroads down south conquering parts of the Oyo Empire (modern-day Kwara), and advanced towards the Yoruba heartland of Ibadan, to reach the Atlantic Ocean. The territory controlled by the empire included much of modern-day northern and central Nigeria. The sultan sent out emirs to establish a suzerainty over the conquered territories and promote Islamic civilization, the emirs in turn became increasingly rich and powerful through trade and slavery. By the 1890s, the largest slave population in the world, about two million, was concentrated in the territories of the Sokoto Caliphate. The use of slave labour was extensive, especially in agriculture.

The region soon came under the rule of the Bani Khalid Emirate in 1670 after the expulsion of the Ottomans from Eastern Arabia (Lahsa Eyalet) by Barrack bin Ghurayr, Emir of the Bani Khalid, who successfully besieged the Ottoman governor Umar Pasha who surrendered and gave up his rule as the fourth Ottoman governor of al-Hasa. In 1752, Kuwait became independent after an agreement between the Sheikh of Kuwait and the Emir of Bani Khalid in which Bani Khalid recognised Sabah I bin Jaber's independent rule over Kuwait and in exchange Kuwait would not ally itself or support the enemies of Bani Khalid or interfere in the internal affairs of Bani Khalid in any way.

Unlike the UK, Russian Federation still has most of Imperial Russia's land territory. Any new relationship between UK and Australia has to be equal partners i.e. Australia will not tolerate being a subordinate under British authority. For CPTPP's entry, UK requested entry from Commonwealth member countries such as Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Malaysia, Singapore, and Brunei. The UK has to cooperate as equal partners with Australia, Canada, and New Zealand i.e. the UK can't assume its old role in the new relationship. Russia's and Ukraine's relationship is in the 1776 phase and the English-speaking world has resolved UK's place in the grouping.

  4509.  @ozziecoops  Scott Ritter is an incompetent investigator who chicken out on investigating western businesses that profited from Iraqi WMDs. Date: March 2017 Kurdistan’s Interior Minister said on Tuesday the Regional Government since its formation had demanded from the federal government to pay compensation to the families of Kurdish victims who suffered genocide, killing, and displacement from the former Iraqi regime. Rebar Ahmed stressed during the Parliament session that in 2014 “we decided to announce Halabja as a governorate,… but perhaps the big problem facing Halabja is that Iraq is not yet ready to recognize it as a governorate. Therefore, the federal government did not allocate a financial budget for it.” Ahmed continued that when the first Kurdish delegation went to Baghdad, it delivered the Prime Minister a request to compensate the victims of the people of Kurdistan with 380 billion dollars for the crimes committed by Saddam Hussein's regime in Halabja, Anfal and to Barzanis, Faili Kurds, and all victims of Baath crimes. The Halabja chemical attack, also known as the Halabja Massacre or Bloody Friday was a massacre of Kurdish people that took place on 16 March 1988, during the closing days of the Iran–Iraq War in the Kurdish city of Halabja in Iraqi Kurdistan. The attack was part of the Al-Anfal Campaign in Kurdistan, as well as part of the Iraqi Army's attempt to repel the Iranian Operation Zafar 7. It took place 48 hours after the capture of the town by the Iranian Army. A United Nations (UN) medical investigation concluded that mustard gas was used in the attack, along with unidentified nerve agents. The incident was the largest chemical weapons attack directed against a civilian-populated area in history, killing between 3,200 and 5,000 people and injuring 7,000 to 10,000 more, most of them civilians. Preliminary results from surveys of the affected region showed an increased rate of cancer and birth defects in the years afterward. The Halabja attack has been officially defined by the Supreme Iraqi Criminal Tribunal as a genocidal massacre against the Kurdish people in Iraq -------- Iraq's WMD issue is not yet finished when the Kurds are suing WMD profiteers in the European court system.

  4513.  @ozziecoops  >amazing the Hague has done nothing to America who has been in 76 wars since world war 2, not 1 sanction from anyone. The Hague has very little power to sanction anyone outside the Netherlands i.e. sanction is useless without backing it up with real firepower and economic power. For context, Hague is located in the Netherlands and a Dutch national was guilty of precursor supply for Iraqi WMDs. In terms of economic influence and military firepower, the Netherlands is weaker than Australia. Australia has access to FiveEyes, hence Australia has the influence (borrow ) to use US's economic power against individuals against Australia's own interest as long it's not in conflict with US's interest. Before Euromaidan, Russia successfully used political and economic leverage to dissuade Ukraine from signing the E.U. deal. In the months prior to the Vilnius summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin engaged in a trade war with Kyiv, blocking nearly all imports from Ukraine and cutting energy supplies to the country. In turn, this reduced Ukrainian exports by 25 percent and shrank the economy by 1.5 percent. Look at the mirror when Russia applied political and economic sanctions on Ukraine before Euromaidan. The US has the sovereign right to apply economic sanctions on Russia just as Russia applied economic sanctions on Ukraine! Canada, Australia, and Russia have resource-rich exports with similar GDPs.

  4514.  @ozziecoops  The Chile example, USSR has supported its Cuban proxy that in turn supported Marxist Salvador Allende. You're a hypocrite. Marxist Salvador Allende clashed with the right-wing parties that controlled Congress and with the judiciary. On 11 September 1973, the military moved to oust Allende in a coup d'état. Marxist Salvador Allende's presidential branch effectively declared war on the judiciary and right-wing majority governed Congress branches. During the 1970 Chilean presidential election, both the United States and the Soviet Union poured money into this election through their intelligence agencies and other sources. 💰KGB money was more precisely targeted. Allende made a personal request for Soviet money through his personal contact, KGB officer Svyatoslav Kuznetsov, who urgently came to Chile from Mexico City to help Allende. The original allocation of money for these elections through the KGB was $400,000, and an additional personal subsidy of $50,000 directly to Allende.[8] It is believed that help from KGB was a decisive factor, because Allende won by a narrow margin of 39,000 votes of a total of the 3 million cast. After the elections, the KGB director Yuri Andropov obtained permission for additional money and other resources from the Central Committee of the CPSU to ensure Allende victory in Congress. In his request on 24 October, he stated that KGB "will carry out measures designed to promote the consolidation of Allende's victory and his election to the post of President of the country". In your argument's summary, the USSR-supported regime change intervention is okay while the US intervention is bad. Your argument is hypocritical.

Agreement between 'RS' and Bosnian Government to a ceasefire in Sarajevo, negotiated by Lieutenant-General Sir Michael Rose, then Commander of UN forces in Bosnia. UN Security Council through UNSCR 836 of 4 June 1994 authorizes the use of air power to defend the safe areas created by UN Security Council resolution 824 of 6 May 1993. Paragraph 10 of UNSCR 836 stipulates: "...Member States, acting nationally or through regional organisations or arrangements, may take, under the authority of the Security Council and subject to close coordination with the Secretary-General and UNPROFOR, all necessary measures, through the use of air power, in and around the safe areas in the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, to support UNPROFOR in the performance of its mandate..." >Libya NATO STOPPED the bloody civil war in Libya.

Some plants, such as the lodgepole pine, Eucalyptus, and Banksia, have serotinous cones or fruits that are completely sealed with resin. ----- https://www.livescience.com/40583-australia-wildfires-eucalyptus-trees-bushfires.html Like many plants native to fire-prone regions, eucalyptus trees (aka gum trees in Australia) are adapted to survive — or even thrive — in a wildfire. Fallen eucalyptus leaves create dense carpets of flammable material, and the trees' bark peels off in long streamers that drop to the ground, providing additional fuel that draws ground fires up into the leaves, creating massive, fast-spreading "crown fires" in the upper story of eucalyptus forests. Additionally, the eucalyptus oil that gives the trees their characteristic spicy fragrance is a flammable oil: This oil, combined with leaf litter and peeling bark during periods of dry, windy weather, can turn a small ground fire into a terrifying, explosive firestorm in a matter of minutes. That's why eucalyptus trees — especially the blue gums (Eucalyptus globulus) that are common throughout New South Wales — are sometimes referred to wryly as "gasoline trees." And after a bushfire sweeps through an area, the eucalyptus trees have an advantage over other plants. Their seed capsules open up when burned, and the seedlings thrive in freshly burned, ash-rich soils. "Give a hillside a really good torching and the eucalyptus will absolutely dominate," Bowman told KQED. "They'll grow intensively in the first few years of life and outcompete everything."

  4624. Izno Iznogoud, F-35A (year 2016 build) combat radius is 1407 Km with A2A load. http://s31.postimg.org/t6r9098gb/F_35_new_range.jpg F-35A has passive EO-DAS for missile guidance. Air Forces Monthly had an article, "The Big Fight", about the Advanced Tactical Leadership Course (ATLC) in its April 2010 issue. The successive article (same issue), "Justifiably Proud!", was an interview with Lt. Col. Fabrice Grandclaudon, Commander of EC 1/7. "AFM: You apparently said 'the Rafale rubbed F-22 - the most modern fighter of the USAF. During six encounters the F-22 hit its goal only once'. The 27th FS doesn't remember the engagements that way and say the F-22 scored several victories against Rafale. Did you offer DACT to the Raptors and did they decline? I did not say we 'rubbed them', I said that there was only one shot claimed (ie a simulated kill) for the six that were set-up. I read in a recent issue of Air et Cosmos that it was two. As far as I am concerned, one or two shots of six Basic Fighter Manoeuvres (BFM) encounters is a victory for the F-22 but not an overwhelming one. Not like the one we claimed against the Typhoons after combat in Solenzara, Corsica during September (9 set-up: 8 to 1 for the Rafale*). The other set-ups versus F-22s were terminated for combat deck, an un-decisive situation or lack of fuel. We never shot them down, but we hope to do so soon since we are quite good opposition for them, and it is in the pilot's spirit not to give up! Like almost every nation, we offered Beyond Visual Range DACT, of course, but the F-22 was only authorized to do BFM 1v1 Within Visual Range (WVR) versus foreign countries (except the UK, with whom they did not fight even in the BFMs). I wish we could have done so, but we didn't - which bring me back to Air et Cosmos, where its information about BVR engagement with AMRAAM in stealth mode is wrong: besides the fact that we did not even fly BVR vs F-22s! F-22 was fitted with some specific device to increase their radar signature. It enabled us to have contact with them during work ups for example. But that's not the point here." ------------- 1. "one or two shots of six Basic Fighter Manoeuvres (BFM) encounters is a victory for the F-22" . 2. "We never shot them down" on another setup. Note that F-22s has to increase it's RCS for the training. In a real combat, F-22A's specific device to increase their radar signature would be turned off and Rafale's pilots would have comparably inferior situation awareness than F-22's pilots since Rafale's pilots wouldn't be aware of F-22A's specific location i.e. it's another F-22's mass (simulated) killing of F-15s type scenario. Without F-22A's RCS booster, Rafale's pilots wouldn't be able to locate the F-22s for training. 3. None of the OSF pictures released by the French Ministry of Defense represented a kill.

Again, China has a "Negative List of Market Access Restricted: Sector-wise items" which is known as CCP's protectionist list. CCP is a hypocrite when it has higher protectionist policies while complaining about Australia's reciprocal protectionist policies e.g. Australian entities can't buy land nor invest in certain sectors such as farming and mining in China, hence a no-brainer when countries imposed reciprocal investment restrictions. Your argument is China1st. > I watched while Dutton and Morrison made fools of themselves by threatening war with China over Taiwan Wrong, It's China that will attack Australia when Australia executes its material trade to its allies when there's a hot conflict over Taiwan, hence Dutton's argument is about freedom of navigation.

In terms of the dominant culture and Protestant-Catholic religion, North America's three "new world" western European-based countries (i.e. Canada, US, Mexico) are not attached to Russia's dominant Russian Christian Orthodox religion. You will need something like Communism idealogy to displace the Protestant-Catholic religion idealogy that loosely glues North America's three "new world" western European-based countries. Canada, the US, and Mexico refects the halfway house between the "European Economic Community (EEC) and European Union" like relationship but it's located on the North American continent. Ukrainian Christian Orthodox Church detaching itself from Russian Christian Orthodox is part of the decoupling itself from Russia. In December 2020, the head of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine, Metropolitan Epiphanius, said that changing the date of Christmas to 25 December in Ukraine is possible after both the church and the faithful are ready for such a decision, after conducting educational work.

Qing (Ch’ing) emperors learned Chinese, and addressed their subjects using Confucian rhetoric, as their predecessors had. More than half of the important government positions were filled by Manchu and members of the Eight Banners, but gradually large numbers of Han Chinese officials were given power and authority within the Manchu administration.

In the UK, the male suicide rate is its lowest since 1981 – 15.5 deaths per 100,000. But suicide is still the single biggest killer of men under the age of 45. And a marked gender split remains. For UK women, the rate is a third of men’s: 4.9 suicides per 100,000. It’s the same in many other countries. Compared to women, men are three times more likely to die by suicide in Australia, 3.5 times more likely in the US and more than four times more likely in Russia and Argentina. WHO’s data show that nearly 40% of countries have more than 15 suicide deaths per 100,000 men; only 1.5% show a rate that high for women.

  4728. For post-WW2 Japan, MacArthur also executed land reform by shifting significant wealthy landlord's lands to the workers with private land title transfers. MacArthur = land reform transfers that included private land title transfers to the workers. Land Reform in Postwar Japan As part of the democratization of Japan after World War II, Japanese leaders and Occupation authorities worked together to carry out land reform. It is regarded as one of the most successful of the Occupation-era reforms, and has become the model for land reform in other countries. The purpose of land reform was to reduce the wide gap between absentee landlords who owned agricultural land but did not farm it themselves, and tenant farmers who rented the land in exchange for giving the landlord a high proportion of the crop. The land reform laws were intended to limit the amount of farm land one household could own to about the amount of land that one family could farm themselves, without outside labor. The government forced absentee landlords to sell all their land to the government. Farmers were allowed to own a small amount of farm land that they could rent out to others ( 2.5 acres or one hectare in most parts of Japan, and 10 acres or 4 hectares in Hokkaido), and had to sell any excess to the government. The government then sold this land, usually to the tenant who had been farming it. The result greatly improved the living conditions of farmers. MacArthur's ideological basis: A family's land ownership. The West has its own idealogy on land reform with the family unit and private land ownership as its core idealogy. VS Marxist = land reform transfer to the state, no private land title transfer to the workers. Marxist is a fake.

"It’s certain that Ukraine was and will be non-aligned state… We strive neither to join NATO nor the [CIS]CSTO [Collective Security Treaty Organization]. We’ll maintain a neutral status," Yanukovych said in an interview with the Komsomolskaya Pravda in Ukraine newspaper. -------- The trigger for Euromaidan was Yanukovych initiated non-neutrality policies such as joining a trade block instead of executing Switzerland-style neutrality. UK leaving the EU and joining CPTPP proves freedom of association. *Before Euromaidan*, Russia, however, has successfully used political and economic leverage to dissuade Ukraine from signing the E.U. deal. In the months prior to the Vilnius summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin engaged in a trade war with Kiev, blocking nearly all imports from Ukraine and cutting energy supplies to the country. In turn, this reduced Ukrainian exports by 25 percent and shrank the economy by 1.5 percent. Some trade background for the context From Tradebarrier Index (lower score = less trade barriers) New Zealand's tariff score is 2.92 Australia's tariff score is 3.03 UK's tariff score is 3.94 (after Brexit) Japan's tariff score is 4.05 US's tariff score is 4.54 Germany's tariff score is 4.88 EU's tariff score is 4.88 Russia's tariff score is 6.16 <-------- China's tariff score is 6.8 <------ Russia wants to maintain its higher trade protectionist policies.

Low-power, same high bandwidth, 32 bytes per cycle in both directions, lower latency. So everything - and almost instant on-and-off stateless - because it's just a sea of wires going across. So it's a little (bit of a tradeoff) of course, the fabrication technology is more expensive than the one over there (points to a 9950X3D), but it meets the needs of the customer and the fact that it has to be a low power that can actually connect.

Fact: Six countries only Agreed To Restrictions On Former GDR In 1990, six countries – East and West Germany, the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain and France – held discussions on the reunification of Germany. The Germans, Americans, British, and French agreed that there would be “no deployment of non-German NATO forces on the territory of the former GDR (East Germany)“. That agreement was incorporated in Article 5 of the Treaty on the Final Settlement with Respect to Germany, which was signed on 12 September 1990 by the six countries : Until Soviet forces had completed their withdrawal from the former GDR, only German territorial defense units not integrated into NATO would be deployed in that territory. There would be no increase in the numbers of troops or equipment of U.S., British and French forces stationed in Berlin. Once Soviet forces had withdrawn, German forces assigned to NATO could be deployed in the former GDR, but foreign forces and nuclear weapons systems would not be deployed there.

Both Putin's Russia and NAZIs have expansionist nationalism. For Transnistria, the region's origins can be traced to the Moldavian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, which was formed in 1924 within the Ukrainian SSR. During World War II, the Soviet Union took parts of the Moldavian ASSR, which was dissolved, and of the Kingdom of Romania's Bessarabia to form the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic in 1940. The Moldavian SSR, organised by a decision of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR on 2 August 1940, was formed out of a part of Bessarabia (taken from Romania on 28 June, after the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact) and out of a part of the Moldavian ASSR roughly equivalent to present-day Transnistria. Transnistria was a product of NAZI-Germany's and USSR's Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact. Russia is actually supporting the NAZI-era Molotov–Ribbentrop pact

In turn, this reduced Ukrainian exports by 25 percent and shrank the economy by 1.5 percent. Ukraine Constitution 1991, Article 17, disallows foreign military bases after 2017. According to former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, Ukraine's constitution forbids the country from hosting foreign military bases after 2017. Yanukovych breached the Ukraine Constitution 1991, Article 17. After 2017, Ukraine's constitution is incompatible with foreign military bases hosting either NATO or CSTO. In 2018, President Petro Poroshenko's constitution amendment allowed temporary foreign military bases. If Yanukovych didn't sign the military base rental extension, Russia would be kicked out of Crimea. Your narrative is FALSE.

  4877.  @Completeaerogeek  SR-71 has a TurboRamJet engine and the bypass airflow path provides most of the engine thrust at Mach 3+ speeds and the bypass airflow path only has a single heat stage that doubles as an afterburner (reheat for the core airflow).

  4878.  @Completeaerogeek  Boom's Overture is targeting a lower Mach 1.7 supercruise target, NOT Concorde's Mach 2.0 supercruise. The dry and wet (reheat) difference between Concorde's per engine 31,000 lbf (140 kN) dry vs 38,050 lbf (169.3 kN) wet (reheat) is comparably minor. For the Concorde, each Olympus 593 engine has Mach 2.02 @ around 10,000 lbf of thrust profile operating mode.
    1
  4879.  @Completeaerogeek  Modern fighters have small fuel tanks when compared to Concorde's large fuel tanks. Wing lift has its drag factor and maximizing lift is the fighter's main priority. Good lift as slower speed enables the fighter to reach good rolling scissors and minmium turn radius behavior. F-35's flight envelope has straight vertical line cut off at Mach 1.6 (1200 MPH) instead of the usual teardrop shape. For F-22A, Jay Miller's book claims F-22A's supercruise is Mach 1.82. The highest speed from an official source is Mach 1.78. Aviation Week says the F-22 supercruises at Mach 1.78

  4884.  @Completeaerogeek  >The first number is what allowed it to supercruise at Mach 2.0 something the SR could not do SR-71 could achieve and maintain a speed of between Mach 1 and Mach 1.2 without reheating (afterburner). Fuel use was less efficient at Mach 1 to 1.2 than cranking SR-71 to around Mach 3 after transitioning to ramjet mode. SR-71 can technically supercruise at Mach 3 via the turbo ramjet air bypass path and that's a single burner stage since the reheat stage is recycled for the turbo ramjet's hot core burner stage. The ramjet mode's compressed cool airflow is not being reheated! SR-71 is designed to cruise at Mach 3.2 with Mach 3.5+ top speed.

They touted the Raptor’s supercruise capability, where they use AB to take it well supersonic and then cruise supersonic in military. Well I/we did that routinely on the Six (as the F-106 was called its pilots); I would take it in full AB to 49,000 and Mach 1.5, then go to full mil and cruise supersonic for 500 miles or more.”

At the end of the day, feminism and rights for women only exist when the majority of western men allow it i.e. fathers want their own daughters to have the best life, human rights, and opportunities. If there's a fight between the male population vs female population, the female population will lose the fight due to males' general raw strength advantages. Most western men wanted their women counterparts to have equal rights and opportunities. Women are part of the human species and should be treated as such.

The Saudis want the United States to give arms and intelligence to Kurdish rebels in north Iraq, Shiite Muslim fighters in the south and Sunni Muslim opposition forces in central Iraq, the Times said, quoting U.S. and allied officials it didn’t name. ----- It was Saudi Arabia's pressure to remove Saddam.

  4957.  @smartchip  What is the SeaFox? SeaFox is a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) designed to destroy naval mines. It was manufactured by the German company Atlas Elektronik. It is controlled by means of a cable. It is available in two versions – “C” and “I”. The former is a combat vehicle used to blow up mines with the use of a small explosive. The latter is a version used to inspect identified threats. The SeaFox is used by navies of 11 countries, including Finland, Germany and Japan. Important information is that in the “C” version, the vehicle is equipped with a warhead weighing only 1.5 kg. According to the Danish and Swedish authorities, the explosion which destroyed the gas pipelines had the power of “several hundred kilograms of explosives”. It seems impossible for a small vehicle like the SeaFox to be able to damage more than four centimetres of the wall of the gas pipeline to such an extent.

The energy giant said due to maintenance on Nord Stream 1 there would be no gas flow to Germany between August 31 and September 3. It said that there is "necessary" work at a compressor station that needed to be carried out after "every 1,000 hours of operation." Germany, which is heavily dependent on Russian gas, has accused Moscow of using energy as a "weapon." Russia insists the disruptions are due to sanctions following its war on Ukraine. Germany's Federal Network Agency chief Klaus Müller called the cessation of gas flows a "technically incomprehensible decision." ------------------ From 2 Sep 2022 via Aljazeera Russian energy giant Gazprom has postponed a Saturday deadline to restore flows via a crucial gas supply route to Europe, citing an oil leakage in the Nord Stream 1 pipeline discovered during maintenance. ------------------ Look in the mirror.

It was the second time in eight years that Ritter, of Delmar, N.Y., found himself in legal trouble for trying to lure underage girls into illicit sex. ----- On 24 April 2013, the district court of The Hague sentenced Dutch businessman Frans van Anraat to payment of damages to the victims of mustard-gas attacks in Iraq and Iran in the 1980s. ----- Twenty Iraqi Kurds have taken legal action to expose French firms that supplied poison gas to Saddam Hussein in 1988. The plaintiffs were among the victims of a chemical weapon attack that killed 5,000 in the town of Halabja during the Iran-Iraq war. ----- Date: March 2017 Kurdistan’s Interior Minister said on Tuesday the Regional Government since its formation had demanded from the federal government to pay compensation to the families of Kurdish victims who suffered genocide, killing, and displacement from the former Iraqi regime. Rebar Ahmed stressed during the Parliament session that in 2014 “we decided to announce Halabja as a governorate,… but perhaps the big problem facing Halabja is that Iraq is not yet ready to recognize it as a governorate. Therefore, the federal government did not allocate a financial budget for it.” Ahmed continued that when the first Kurdish delegation went to Baghdad, it delivered the Prime Minister a request to compensate the victims of the people of Kurdistan with 380 billion dollars for the crimes committed by Saddam Hussein's regime in Halabja, Anfal and to Barzanis, Faili Kurds, and all victims of Baath crimes. The Halabja chemical attack, also known as the Halabja Massacre or Bloody Friday was a massacre of Kurdish people that took place on 16 March 1988, during the closing days of the Iran–Iraq War in the Kurdish city of Halabja in Iraqi Kurdistan. The attack was part of the Al-Anfal Campaign in Kurdistan, as well as part of the Iraqi Army's attempt to repel the Iranian Operation Zafar 7. It took place 48 hours after the capture of the town by the Iranian Army. A United Nations (UN) medical investigation concluded that mustard gas was used in the attack, along with unidentified nerve agents. The incident was the largest chemical weapons attack directed against a civilian-populated area in history, killing between 3,200 and 5,000 people and injuring 7,000 to 10,000 more, most of them civilians. Preliminary results from surveys of the affected region showed an increased rate of cancer and birth defects in the years afterward. The Halabja attack has been officially defined by the Supreme Iraqi Criminal Tribunal as a genocidal massacre against the Kurdish people in Iraq .

  4967. The real narrative... Poland had originally intended to procure 500 American M142 HIMARS launchers, but such an order could not be fulfilled in a satisfactory timeline, so a decision was made to split the HIMARS order into two stages, buying less of them and adding Chunmoo procurement. M142 HIMARS and M270 MLRS have many design win orders e.g. Australia (in May 2022), Finland (in Feb 2022, M270), Estonia (in July 2022), Latvia (in October 2022), Lithuania (in October 2022), Poland (in November 2018, procurement still on-going), and Taiwan (in October 2020, procurement still on-going). This does not include US Army's and USMC's procurement requirements. Chunmoo's missiles are less capable when compared to the GMLRS and ATACMS. K239 Chunmoo shares the same ammo pod as M270 MLRS and M142 HIMARS.

  4994. India and Pakistan were part of the Islamic Mughal empire. Maratha Empire replaced the Mughal empire. The Maratha Empire soon allied with the British East India Company (based in the Bengal Presidency) against Mysore in the Anglo-Mysore Wars. After the British East India Company had suffered defeat against Mysore in the first two Anglo-Mysore Wars, the Maratha cavalry assisted the British in the last two Anglo-Mysore Wars from 1790 onwards, eventually helping the British conquer Mysore in the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War in 1799. After the British East India Company's conquest, however, the Marathas launched frequent raids in Mysore to plunder the region, which they justified as compensation for past losses to Tipu Sultan. Around 1775, the relationship between the British East India Company and Maratha Empire degraded into a hot war, which started by the British East India Company intervening in a succession struggle in Pune. British East India Company is a powerful company like a megacorp Facebook that attempted to fight (large-scale economic warfare) against the Australian government.

By the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the company had vastly succeeded in subjugating the independent southern kingdoms along the Niger River, the British conquered Benin in 1897, and, in the Anglo-Aro War (1901–1902), defeated other opponents. The defeat of these states opened up the Niger area to British rule. In 1900, the company's territory came under the direct control of the British government and established the Southern Nigeria Protectorate as a British protectorate and part of the British Empire, the foremost world power at the time. Before British colonization, at the beginning of the 19th century, Usman dan Fodio led a successful jihad against the Hausa Kingdoms founding the centralised Sokoto Caliphate. The empire with Arabic as its official language grew rapidly under his rule and that of his descendants, who sent out invading armies in every direction. The vast landlocked empire connected the east with the western Sudan region and made inroads down south conquering parts of the Oyo Empire (modern-day Kwara), and advanced towards the Yoruba heartland of Ibadan, to reach the Atlantic Ocean. The territory controlled by the empire included much of modern-day northern and central Nigeria. The sultan sent out emirs to establish a suzerainty over the conquered territories and promote Islamic civilization, the emirs in turn became increasingly rich and powerful through trade and slavery. By the 1890s, the largest slave population in the world, about two million, was concentrated in the territories of the Sokoto Caliphate. The use of slave labour was extensive, especially in agriculture.

  5003.  @undeadaxolotl8584  >The British were definitely worse than the Spanish; the fact that most Mexicans still have Native American ancestry proves this. That's a false narrative for the USA, the British only have 13 original colonies and the rest are from French, Spanish, and Russian colonies. After the US war of independence, the US engaged in kicking the European colonial powers out of North America. Canada (with UK aid) managed to push back against the US's Monroe doctrine. US's "kicked the European colonial powers out of North America" Monroe doctrine has nothing to do with India's British East India Company situation.

  5022.  @ЮлияШелковникова-м9е  The war between Ukraine vs Russia is an echo of the past Kyiv vs Grand Duchy of Moscow Slavic wars. 1. 1863–1864 January uprising, Russian Empire crushed Polish, Lithuanian, and Ukrainian insurgents uprising. 2. Soviet–Ukrainian War occurred between 1917 to 1921, a war between the Ukrainian People's Republic vs the Bolsheviks i.e. the Ukrainian Soviet Republic and the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (modern-day Russian Federation). Bolsheviks' revolution started in Russia and Bolsheviks inherited Russian Empire's imperialist foreign policies. The economic system can change, but the Grand Duchy of Moscow's power nexus remained the same. These are "old world" issues. Before Euromaidan, Russia started a trade war against Ukraine, forcing Yanukovych to sign a base rental extension agreement that breached Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17 disallows foreign military bases after 2017. Read the Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17 which disallows foreign military bases after 2017. CONSTITUTION OF UKRAINE Adopted at the Fifth Session of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on 28 June 1996 Article 17 The location of foreign military bases shall not be permitted on the territory of Ukraine. Yanukovych breached the Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17. After 2017, Ukraine's constitution is incompatible with foreign military bases hosting either NATO or CSTO. If Yanukovych didn't sign the military base rental extension, Russia would be kicked out of Crimea. Putin's narrative is FALSE. Putin's pressure caused Yanukovych to make a mistake. The US is the wildcard in the "old world" Slavic wars.

  5037.  @Habib_Osman  From https://apps.fas.usda.gov/newgainapi/api/report/downloadreportbyfilename?filename=Biofuels%20Annual_Canberra_Australia_11-7-2018.pdf NSW Government Biofuels Policy NSW introduced an ethanol biofuels mandate in 2017 to encourage broader use of ethanol and other biofuels in the State. Most cars in NSW that use unleaded petroleum (ULP) can use 10 percent ethanol-blended fuel. The NSW government has a legislated ethanol supply mandate of E6 for wholesale companies and a requirement for retailers with 20 or more outlets to offer ethanol product for sale. Under the NSW Biofuels Act 2007, a certain percentage of the total volume of petrol sold in NSW is required to be ethanol and a certain percentage is required to be biodiesel. The main objective of the policy is to support the development of a sustainable biofuels industry in NSW. The Act has a number of secondary objectives, including (a) improving air quality; (b) addressing climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions; (c) providing consumers with cheaper fuel options; (d) reducing the reliance of NSW on imported petroleum products; and (e) supporting regional development. The Biofuels Act is administered by the NSW Office of Fair Trading. The NSW E6 mandate (with exemptions) requires that ethanol must represent six percent of the total volume of petrol sold in NSW. A B2 mandate also exists, which requires two percent of the total volume of diesel sold to be biodiesel. A range of exemptions are provided to petrol retailers, which effectively lowers their ethanol requirements below the E6 mandate. The NSW government has sought to reduce the number of exemptions to the Biofuels Act to encourage greater use of fuel ethanol. Under an amendment to the Biofuels Act, all fuel retailers that sell three or more types of petrol and diesel and have sales above a certain threshold will need to comply with the ethanol mandate.

This is a significant action that will further deprive President Putin of the economic resources he uses to continue his barbaric war of choice against Ukraine. This order does not prohibit dealing in Kazakhstani crude oil of the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (“CPC”) because distribution systems such as those within the CPC can segregate various sources of crude oil, allowing crude oil that is not of Russian Federation origin to be marked and loaded separately. The import ban applies to the import of certain products of Russian Federation origin to the United States and excludes imports that are not of Russian Federation origin, even if such items transit through or depart from the Russian Federation.

  5115. The new Norway-Poland gas pipeline. The pipeline is designed to reduce Poland's reliance on Russian gas but construction was halted in May 2019 due to environmental issues. Energinet said it had now received a new environmental permit and it still expects the pipeline to be partially operational from Oct. 1 this year and running at full capacity of up to 10 billion cubic metres from Jan. 1, 2023. The suspension has already delayed the start date by three months. Russia's invasion of Ukraine has triggered worries that Russian gas supplies to Europe could be cut, highlighting the need for diversification of supplies. Construction on two parts of the pipeline has been suspended since 2019 following the rescinding of an environmental permit by a Danish public appeals committee due to concerns over the pipeline's impact on protected mice and bat species. Russia's Gazprom supplies half of Poland's 20 billion cubic meters of gas consumption, but the long-term contract expires at the end of this year and Warsaw doesn't plan to renew it. Poland aims to replace these supplies with shipments via Baltic Pipe. A natural gas pipeline linking Poland to a liquefied natural gas terminal in Lithuania, called GIPL, will open on May 1, Lithuania said on Monday, earlier than the scheduled mid-2022 start.

  5135.  @SigmaMaleCountMartelus  Date: March 2017 Kurdistan’s Interior Minister said on Tuesday the Regional Government since its formation had demanded from the federal government to pay compensation to the families of Kurdish victims who suffered genocide, killing, and displacement from the former Iraqi regime. Rebar Ahmed stressed during the Parliament session that in 2014 “we decided to announce Halabja as a governorate,… but perhaps the big problem facing Halabja is that Iraq is not yet ready to recognize it as a governorate. Therefore, the federal government did not allocate a financial budget for it.” Ahmed continued that when the first Kurdish delegation went to Baghdad, it delivered the Prime Minister a request to compensate the victims of the people of Kurdistan with 380 billion dollars for the crimes committed by Saddam Hussein's regime in Halabja, Anfal and to Barzanis, Faili Kurds, and all victims of Baath crimes. The Halabja chemical attack, also known as the Halabja Massacre or Bloody Friday was a massacre of Kurdish people that took place on 16 March 1988, during the closing days of the Iran–Iraq War in the Kurdish city of Halabja in Iraqi Kurdistan. The attack was part of the Al-Anfal Campaign in Kurdistan, as well as part of the Iraqi Army's attempt to repel the Iranian Operation Zafar 7. It took place 48 hours after the capture of the town by the Iranian Army. A United Nations (UN) medical investigation concluded that mustard gas was used in the attack, along with unidentified nerve agents. The incident was the largest chemical weapons attack directed against a civilian-populated area in history, killing between 3,200 and 5,000 people and injuring 7,000 to 10,000 more, most of them civilians. Preliminary results from surveys of the affected region showed an increased rate of cancer and birth defects in the years afterward. The Halabja attack has been officially defined by the Supreme Iraqi Criminal Tribunal as a genocidal massacre against the Kurdish people in Iraq ----- The Iraqi WMD issue is not over.

Technically, the ANZUS treaty requires the parties to consult in the event of a threat to one of them, rather than to automatically come to the other's assistance Dr John Blaxland, a senior fellow at Australian National University's Strategic and Defence Studies Centre, agrees the wording of the ANZUS treaty does not guarantee military intervention by the United States in Australia's defence.

  5148.  @SigmaMaleCountMartelus  >CHINA JOE IS SELLING A WAR TO SAVE HIS FRAUDULENT FAILINGS PRESIDENCY. That's a FALSE NARRATIVE. It's Ukraine invoking the Budapest Memorandum's request for aid against Russia. For Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum context, Russia, the US, and the UK confirmed their Ukraine becoming parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and effectively abandoning their nuclear arsenal to Russia and that they would: 1. Respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders. 2. Refrain from the threat or the use of force against Ukraine. 3. Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine to influence their politics. 4. Seek immediate Security Council action to provide assistance to Ukraine if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used". 5. Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against Ukraine. 6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments. China and France gave somewhat weaker individual assurances in separate documents. Russia has exited Budapest Memorandum. The US and UK are fulfilling points 4 and 6 in accordance with Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum. Budapest Memorandum's security assurances are weaker than NATO's Article V and EU's Article 42.7. Are you arguing for the US to abandon the Budapest Memorandum?

  5149.  @TheShezu  Prove "world peace treaty". There is no such thing as a "world peace treaty". Poland and Baltic countries are against Russia. Finland is against Russia i.e. Finns purchased Israeli medium-range strike missiles. Estonia is against Russia i.e. Estonia purchased Israeli medium-range strike missiles. Poland purchased Israeli-designed Stunner interceptor missiles for its PAC3. Reminder, Russian Federation still has its Russian Empire's land area largely intact. You can't say the same for non-existent Spanish, French, and British empires. Your argument is hypocritical. Ukraine Constitution 1991, Article 17, disallows foreign military bases after 2017. According to former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, Ukraine's constitution forbids the country from hosting foreign military bases after 2017. Yanukovych breached the Ukraine Constitution 1991, Article 17. In 2018, President Petro Poroshenko's constitution amendment allowed temporary foreign military bases. Victoria Nuland herself doesn't have the power, but about 73% of the MPs—voted to "remove Viktor Yanukovych from the post of president of Ukraine" has the power. Don't assume Ukraine's president has absolute power when 73% of the MPs have voted to "remove Viktor Yanukovych from the post of president of Ukraine". >As all you know they have the world's best defense systems. S400 and more Rented S400 is useless in Syria. >Because Nato and America is expanding towards their boarder against 1991 treaty Prove "1991 treaty". Anyone who supports the current Russian's view on the two-sphere of influence zones in Europe only continues Nazi Germany-Soviet Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact i.e. the original plan that divides Europe into east/west sphere of influence zones. NATO does NOT support Nazi Germany-Soviet Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact version 2.0.

  5151.  @TheShezu  Putin: “Speaking of security guarantees … our actions will not depend upon the negotiations, they will depend on the unconditional compliance with Russian security demands”. The main articles of Russian draft proposed agreement demand included eight articles with the following points: Article 1: the parties should not strengthen their security at the expense of Russia’s security; Article 2: the parties will use multilateral consultations and the NATO-Russia Council to address points of conflict; Article 3: the parties reaffirm that they do not consider each other as adversaries and maintain a dialogue; Article 4: the parties shall not deploy military forces and weaponry on the territory of any of the other states in Europe in addition to any forces that were deployed as of May 27, 1997; Article 5: the parties shall not deploy land-based intermediate- and short-range missiles adjacent to the other parties; Article 6: all member States of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization commit themselves to refrain from any further enlargement of NATO, including the accession of Ukraine as well as other States; Article 7: the parties that are member States of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization shall not conduct any military activity on the territory of Ukraine as well as other States in the Eastern Europe, in the South Caucasus and in Central Asia; and Article 8: the agreement shall not be interpreted as affecting the primary responsibility of the Security Council of the United Nations for maintaining international peace and security. ---------------- For Article 1, Israel sells missile technology to Eastern Europe while Russia sells missile technology to Israel's adversaries. For Article 3, Being labeled adversaries are based on action and behaviors. Finland, Poland, and the Baltic states have purchased Israeli missile technology and have historical issues with Imperialist Russia. Russia plays "the great game" geopolitics longer than US's existence. For Article 4, Russia's demand to degrade NATO's Article V enforcement. Russia dictating terms against Three Seas Initiative member countries. For Article 5, Israel sells missile technology to Eastern Europe while Russia sells missile technology to Israel's adversaries. For Article 6, Russia demands to restrict counties in Eastern Europe's freedom of association. For Article 7, Russia's demand to degrade NATO's Article V enforcement for NATO members in Eastern Europe. Russia dictating terms against Three Seas Initiative member countries. For Article 8, Putin's bullshit statement.

  5152.  @TheShezu  >You never bother of agreements just like you withdraw from the nuclear treaty. 1. US's 987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty withdrawal did NOT result in the US grabbing another country's land territory into the American union. 2. Signed in 1987, the INF Treaty led to the elimination of 2,692 U.S. and Soviet nuclear and conventional ground-launched ballistic and cruise missiles with ranges between 500 and 5,500 kilometers. Since 2014, the United States has accused Russia of violating the treaty by testing, possessing, and fielding an illegal ground-launched cruise missile (GLCM), known as the 9M729. 3. Trump echoed that statement in Aug. 2 comments, saying that “if [Russia is] not going to live up to their commitment, then we have to—we always have to be in the lead.” The White House previously also cited concerns about the intermediate-range missile arsenal of China, which is not party to the treaty and has deployed large numbers of missiles with ranges that Washington and Moscow were long prohibited from deploying. Trump follows Obama's Pivot to Asia.

Russia continued its alliance with Cuba and even hosted military bases there BEFORE and AFTER the Cuban crisis. The Cuban crisis was about nuclear weapons! Ukraine doesn't have nuclear weapons because it handed them over to Russia back in the 90's for an agreement with Russia... that agreement which Russia signed was a promise to NEVER invade Ukraine. A promise Russia has long since broken! NATO has never even considered putting NUKES in Ukraine or any other Eastern European country!

  5169. 2. FALSE. The promise was only made for Germany and the existing USSR. The Warsaw Pact collapsed on 25 February 1991. Both Warsaw Pact and USSR does NOT exist when NATO's membership increased with ex-Warsaw Pact countries and ex-Soviet states. In 1994, Russia joined NATO Partnership for Peace (PfP) like many ex-Warsaw Pact countries and ex-Soviet states. Several ex-Warsaw Pact countries and ex-Soviet states with NATO Partnership for Peace (PfP) program were upgraded into full NATo membership. Russia's NATO membership path was frozen due to the 1992 Russo-Moldovan (Transnistria) and 2008 Russo-Georgian conflicts. Latvia’s defense minister, Artis Pabriks: "If we were not now a member of NATO or the European Union, we would share the fate of Ukraine now. It would be guaranteed that Russia would invade us. Now they can’t do this because we are a member of NATO.”.

I'm not shy to label it as "bush meat". The "so-called" Chinese takeaway food in Australia is the westernised version. The main reason for selecting meats early in the food chain (e.g. mostly herbivore type animals) is the less toxic chemicals (and other issues) build-up.

  5191.  @jasonm949  Chile example, USSR has supported its Cuban proxy that in turn supported Marxist Salvador Allende. Marxist Salvador Allende clashed with the right-wing parties that controlled Congress and with the judiciary. On 11 September 1973, the military moved to oust Allende in a coup d'état. Marxist Salvador Allende's presidential branch effectively declared war on the judiciary and right-wing majority governed Congress branches. During the 1970 Chilean presidential election, both the United States and the Soviet Union poured money into this election through their intelligence agencies and other sources. 💰KGB money was more precisely targeted. Allende made a personal request for Soviet money through his personal contact, KGB officer Svyatoslav Kuznetsov, who urgently came to Chile from Mexico City to help Allende. The original allocation of money for these elections through the KGB was $400,000, and an additional personal subsidy of $50,000 directly to Allende.[8] It is believed that help from KGB was a decisive factor, because Allende won by a narrow margin of 39,000 votes of a total of the 3 million cast. After the elections, the KGB director Yuri Andropov obtained permission for additional money and other resources from the Central Committee of the CPSU to ensure Allende victory in Congress. In his request on 24 October, he stated that KGB "will carry out measures designed to promote the consolidation of Allende's victory and his election to the post of President of the country".[8] You're a hypocrite.

The shadow of NAZI-Germany's and USSR's Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact reappeared again. Europeans including Russians do have a common fate: starting two World Wars. For Transnistria, the region's origins can be traced to the Moldavian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, which was formed in 1924 within the Ukrainian SSR. During World War II, the Soviet Union took parts of the Moldavian ASSR, which was dissolved, and of the Kingdom of Romania's Bessarabia to form the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic in 1940. The Moldavian SSR, organised by a decision of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR on 2 August 1940, was formed out of a part of Bessarabia (taken from Romania on 28 June, after the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact) and out of a part of the Moldavian ASSR roughly equivalent to present-day Transnistria. Transnistria was a product of NAZI-Germany's and USSR's Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact. The shadow of WW2 still exists to this day.

The Strategy promotes reciprocity, a level playing field and fair competition across all areas of co-operation.

Germany will still lose WW2. USA M26 tanks has 2,212 units x 44 tons = 97,328 tons M26 has 90 mm gun. M4 tanks has 49,234 units x 33 tons = 1,624,722, Russian T34 tanks has similar number. M10 tank destroyer has 6,406 units x 29 tons = 185,774 tons M18 tank destroyer has 2,507 units x 39 tons = 97,773 tons M36 tank destroyer has 2,324 units x 29 tons = 67,396 tons M36 has 90 mm gun. Sub-Total: 2,072,993 tons M4 Sherman Firefly (UK) has 2,200 units x 35 tons = 77,000 tons. Firefly takes on Tiger I and Panther tanks. The US has both quality (M26) and numbers (M4). A significant amount of the US Army's tonnage was against the German army. The US has the following aircraft carrier production 24 Essex-class fleet carriers with 90 to 110 aircraft each. 650,400 tons for Essex-class. 21 Commencement Bay class with 228,900 tons 50 Casablanca-class with 390,000 tons. 45 Bogue-class with 747,900 tons 3 Yorktown-class fleet carriers with 59,400 tons Sub-Total: 3,798,645 tons Modern-day USN aircraft carrier tonnage is just about 1,460,000 tons.

  5254. @Runaway Puppet The US doesn't have territorial disputes while China has territorial disputes. The Ten Great Campaigns (Chinese: 十全武功; pinyin: Shíquán Wǔgōng) were a series of military campaigns launched by the Qing dynasty of China in the mid–late 18th century during the reign of the Qianlong Emperor (r. 1735–1796). They included three to enlarge the area of Qing control in Inner Asia: two against the Dzungars (1755–1757) and the "pacification" of Xinjiang (1758–1759). The other seven campaigns were more in the nature of police actions on frontiers already established: two wars to suppress the Gyalrong of Jinchuan, Sichuan, another to suppress the Taiwanese Aboriginals (1787–88), and four expeditions abroad against the Burmese (1765–1769), the Vietnamese (1788–1789), and the Gurkhas on the border between Tibet and Nepal (1790–1792), with the last counting as two. President Xi's argument is based on historical Imperial China's Ten Great Campaigns. Territorial disputes around Xi's China are based on Imperial China's Ten Great Campaigns. During the 4th Sino-Burmese Wars starting in 1768, Imperial China invaded the Kingdom of Burma. Burma hired European musketeers and gunners, hence Burma allied itself with the rising French Empire against Imperial China's invasion. Imperial China is an imperialist power that led to engagement with other powers. There's nothing new under the sun.

  5257. @Runaway Puppet The Chile example, USSR has supported its Cuban proxy that in turn supported Marxist Salvador Allende. You're a hypocrite. Marxist Salvador Allende clashed with the right-wing parties that controlled Congress and with the judiciary. On 11 September 1973, the military moved to oust Allende in a coup d'état. Marxist Salvador Allende's presidential branch effectively declared war on the judiciary and right-wing majority governed Congress branches. During the 1970 Chilean presidential election, both the United States and the Soviet Union poured money into this election through their intelligence agencies and other sources. 💰KGB money was more precisely targeted. Allende made a personal request for Soviet money through his personal contact, KGB officer Svyatoslav Kuznetsov, who urgently came to Chile from Mexico City to help Allende. The original allocation of money for these elections through the KGB was $400,000, and an additional personal subsidy of $50,000 directly to Allende.[8] It is believed that help from KGB was a decisive factor, because Allende won by a narrow margin of 39,000 votes of a total of the 3 million cast. After the elections, the KGB director Yuri Andropov obtained permission for additional money and other resources from the Central Committee of the CPSU to ensure Allende victory in Congress. In his request on 24 October, he stated that KGB "will carry out measures designed to promote the consolidation of Allende's victory and his election to the post of President of the country". --------------- In your argument's summary, the USSR-supported regime change intervention is okay while the US intervention is bad. Your argument is hypocritical. USSR's proxy attempted to remove Chile's check-and-balance Congress system. USSR's proxy attempted to concentrate political power into a single entity (individual and political party).

The Church of England was disestablished in the colony of New South Wales by the Church Act of 1836. Drafted by the reformist attorney-general John Plunkett, the act established legal equality for Anglicans, Catholics and Presbyterians and was later extended to Methodists. Freedom of Religion was enshrined in Section 116 of the Constitution of Australia of 1901. Canada, Australia, and New Zealand avoid UK's sectarian conflicts.

  5313. Against the Ottoman Empire's Barbary Pirates' slave trade, the United States Department of the Navy (DON) was established by an Act of Congress on 30 April 1798. Barbary Pirates executed raids on Europe and captured Europeans, who were turned into slaves. In 1815, the Danish and British fleets joined the US fleet in declaring war on the Ottoman Empire's Algiers Pirates and forced its leadership to release more than 1,000 European slaves. The Barbary States, although they did not capture any more U.S. ships, began to resume piracy in the Mediterranean, and despite punitive bombardments by the British, did not end their salve trade practices until the French conquest of Algeria in 1830.

  5319. Not all Nordstream pipelines were blown up. Both NS1 and NS2 actually consist of 2 pipelines. After the explosions, one of the NS2 pipes remained functional - technically speaking, because it didn't get approval from Germany. As for Russia's motive to destroy the pipeline: Russia stopped supplying gas via NS due to political reasons (Putin's decision). And Russia was sued for this breach of contracts. Blowing up NordStream can be a way to avoid paying huge fines. Only 2 tubes were ever used, and now 1 is available. If the US wanted to shut down gas, why did they leave 1 tube intact? Don't worry, we know who did it, and why - and it wasn't US.

  5324.  @ovincent35  False narrative. China's rare earth near-monopoly was built on SOE (State-Owned Enterprise) which drove private competitors from the market. Rare earth is important for the electronics component production logistics chain. From Graphite Publications article from 2010. Title: Will chinas Outrageous Rare Earth Monopoly Persist Year Date: 2010. Heavy importers of these REEs such as the U.S., Germany, and Japan believe these rationales disguise China’s true exploitative motive: to force foreign factories to move to China to keep their costs low and their supply high Second, importing countries have been concerned with the agglutination of Chinese mining companies in what appears to be a calculated move to make China’s monopoly even more monopolistic. Most prominently, Bao Gang Rare Earth (BGRE), a state-owned REE company forcibly merged with four smaller companies and numerous smaller companies were shut down to create a monopoly in Northern China which accounts for two-thirds of China’s output. Moreover, China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) decreed minimum production thresholds for domestic companies in early August 2012, essentially truncating the smallest REE producers as well as with 20% of China’s rare earths capacity. Third, Chinese companies have determinedly acted to protect their monopoly by buying potential international rivals. Lynas Corp., an Australian company displayed plans to open a new REE mine when in May 2009, a company owned by the Chinese government swooped in with a $366 million bid and bought a majority stake in it.

  5325.  @ovincent35  From Forbes, Title: Protectionism May Be Rising Around The World, But In China It Never Went Away Year Date: 2016 Promises unkept? Since joining the WTO in 2001, China has repeatedly insisted that it will live up to those undertakings made on entry. In particular, the use of currency manipulation has been identified by the US as a breech of the commitment to end price controls for the purposes of protecting domestic industries. This became a major political issue from 2005 onwards, and has only recently subsided because it is assumed that the RMB is slightly overvalued on the market. Nevertheless, for years it was deliberate policy for the PBoC to accumulate US Dollars and suppress the exchange rate for the RMB, resulting in exactly the price distortions China had committed to eliminate in 2001, and fuelling an enormous trade surplus with the US, which persists and expands to this day. Furthermore TRIPS implementation has been given some effect on paper, but has made little progress when it comes to 'enforcement.' This is (according to the WTO) as recently as February 2015, fully 14 years after TRIPS was supposed to be already in effect. The US Trade Representative produces an annual report to Congress on China's WTO compliance which leaves little room to conclude they have so far lived up to their accession commitments. The most recent several-hundred-page document - produced in December 2015 - recites a long list of small measures, committees established, announcements made and new administrative complications faced, all continuing disputes over an agreement theoretically in effect since 2001. Although, therefore, protectionism is rising around the world, it is also true to say that existing practices of protectionism have not fallen in the way that they should have since China's accession to the WTO in 2001. Because of this lack of progress in easing trade, the extended period of currency manipulation, the lack of observance of TRIPS and the sheer administrative resistance exporters face when trying to get their products into China, we now face of world of highly unbalanced trade, and rising mistrust. And it is this that is leading to rising protectionism; the simple fact that it never went away.

Rebar Ahmed stressed during the Parliament session that in 2014 “we decided to announce Halabja as a governorate,… but perhaps the big problem facing Halabja is that Iraq is not yet ready to recognize it as a governorate. Therefore, the federal government did not allocate a financial budget for it.” Ahmed continued that when the first Kurdish delegation went to Baghdad, it delivered the Prime Minister a request to compensate the victims of the people of Kurdistan with 380 billion dollars for the crimes committed by Saddam Hussein's regime in Halabja, Anfal and to Barzanis, Faili Kurds, and all victims of Baath crimes. The Halabja chemical attack, also known as the Halabja Massacre or Bloody Friday was a massacre of Kurdish people that took place on 16 March 1988, during the closing days of the Iran–Iraq War in the Kurdish city of Halabja in Iraqi Kurdistan. The attack was part of the Al-Anfal Campaign in Kurdistan, as well as part of the Iraqi Army's attempt to repel the Iranian Operation Zafar 7. It took place 48 hours after the capture of the town by the Iranian Army. A United Nations (UN) medical investigation concluded that mustard gas was used in the attack, along with unidentified nerve agents. The incident was the largest chemical weapons attack directed against a civilian-populated area in history, killing between 3,200 and 5,000 people and injuring 7,000 to 10,000 more, most of them civilians. Preliminary results from surveys of the affected region showed an increased rate of cancer and birth defects in the years afterward. The Halabja attack has been officially defined by the Supreme Iraqi Criminal Tribunal as a genocidal massacre against the Kurdish people in Iraq ----- You're the real idiot.

They included three to enlarge the area of Qing control in Inner Asia: two against the Dzungars (1755–1757) and the "pacification" of Xinjiang (1758–1759). The other seven campaigns were more in the nature of police actions on frontiers already established: two wars to suppress the Gyalrong of Jinchuan, Sichuan, another to suppress the Taiwanese Aboriginals (1787–88), and four expeditions abroad against the Burmese (1765–1769), the Vietnamese (1788–1789), and the Gurkhas on the border between Tibet and Nepal (1790–1792), with the last counting as two. Imperial China is an imperialist power that led to the engagement with European imperialist empires. Look in the mirror.

  5380.  @sammanis9148  The U.S. position on Taiwan’s international status is “undetermined,” in accordance with the outcome of the 1951-52 San Francisco Peace Treaty. In that treaty, Japan had formally ceded sovereignty over the island, but it was not decided to whom. Most countries at the 1951 Peace Conference argued that Taiwan’s status needed to be determined in due time, in accordance with the principle of self-determination enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations. Post-WW2, Taiwan and the Pescadores islands are not handed to China, and KMT is a foreign government in exile under the American occupation of Japanese Taiwan islands. In Taiwan, the KMT government was politically defeated by partly aboriginal Taiwanese Tsai Ing-wen Democratic Progressive Party. On the eve of the 1894 Sino-Japanese War, about 45 percent of the island was administered under the Manchus Qing administration (Imperial China) while the remaining was populated by Taiwanese aborigines. Imperialist Manchus Qing's Imperial China didn't fully control Taiwan.

  5388.  @kadikagbay9217  The Philippines-Indonesia Maritime Border Agreement was signed in 2019. Bilateral cooperation between Indonesia and the Philippines experiences a major uplift. One of the developments accomplished is the completion of the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) Boundary ratification process between both countries. The news was conveyed by President Joko Widododuring a bilateral meeting with President Rodrigo R Duterte of the Philippines on the sidelines of the 34th ASEAN Summit in Athenee Hotel, Bangkok, Thailand, on Saturday night (22/6). “I appreciate the smooth completion of the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) boundary ratification process between Indonesia and the Philippines," said the President. Foreign Ministers of the two countries plan to exchange the ratification documents in Jakarta next August 2019. This ratification will provide legal certainty to law enforcement and improve maritime sector cooperation. “I suggest we each assign our team to immediately commence the negotiation on Continent Shelf," said President Jokowi. Continuing on bilateral issues, President Jokowi communicated the plan of the country's private sector to intensify trade and investment in the Philippines. “I also hope that Your Excellency's granting on the exemption of Indonesian instant coffee and ceramic products from the price-based special safeguard list," he continued. Another issue discussed by President Jokowi was the Indo-Pacific cooperation. “I highly appreciate the support and contribution given by the Philippines to the development of the 'ASEAN Outlook on Indo-Pacific Cooperation'," he said. At the beginning of the meeting, the President also expressed his appreciation for the Filipino Government's help in the release of Indonesian hostages. “I believe Your Excellency agrees that we will continue to tighten security cooperation, including in Sulu Sea and the surrounding areas," said President Jokowi.

The forces fueling the breakdown of these multinational states have not been exhausted with the disintegration of Yugoslavia, the Soviet Union, and Czechoslovakia. Most of the successor states of these federations are themselves breaking down.

  5408.  @rathindrasarkar3238  Azerbaijan switched from the Cyrillic to the Latin alphabet in 1991, just after the fall of the Soviet Union, while Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan made the change in 1993. Kazakstan switched from the Cyrillic to the Latin alphabet in 2017 to avoid ethnic war by selecting an outside alphabet system. Three decades since declaring independence from the Soviet Union, Kazakhstan is finally about to ditch the Cyrillic alphabet. At the end of January 2021, the Kazakh government finally announced plans to transition the country’s written language to a Latin-based alphabet after almost two decades of delays. While the change is evidence that the slow, steady decline of Russian influence in the country, both linguistic and political, is shifting into its final phase, the diverse ethnic make-up of the country – which has a substantial ethnic Russian population – means the process is likely to be met with a great deal of hostility. Kazakhstan possesses a large community of Russians – around 25 percent of the country’s 18.75 million people – and Russian is spoken by more than 90 percent of the population. In the immediate aftermath of independence, Kazakh replaced Russian as the primary language of education, and Kazakh-language films and television programmes related to the country’s nomadic culture and traditions were widely promoted. Despite this, only 66 percent of the population are thought to be fluent speakers of Kazakh. The government now wants to put Russian on the same level as English, a foreign language, but still an important one, part of what it calls a trilingual education system aimed at “increasing the competitiveness of Kazakhs in the world arena”.

  5409.  @rathindrasarkar3238  According to Dossym Satpayev, a co-founder of the Alliance of Analytical Organisations of Kazakhstan, both the Kazakh authorities and Kazakh people have long been in favour of the Latin alphabet, perceiving Cyrillic as “part of Russia’s colonial project”. HAHAHAHAHAHA

  5436.  @siddhartagoutama4140 >Most of the conflicts of the modern world were inherited from the criminal actions of England, FALSE. There was a brief opportunity for Kurdish nationalism after World War I with the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire. Western powers (particularly the United Kingdom) promised the Kurds they would act as guarantors for Kurdish freedom, a promise they subsequently broke. Some of the autonomist Kurdish groups received British support leading up to the Treaty of Sèvres (1920), which prepared for local autonomy for the Kurdish regions and envisaged later independence. Opposition from Kemal Atatürk, leader of the new nation-state of Turkey, and changes in British policy, prevented such a result. Following the Treaty of Lausanne (1923) the Kurdish territory was partitioned between Turkey, the French mandate of Syria, the British mandate of Iraq, and Persia. The current borders in the Middle East are due to Turkey's demand for no country for the Kurds policy. That's the price for Turkey's alliance with the West. Without Turkey's demand, 1. Iran's northwest Kurdish area would be allocated to the Kurdistan. 2. Iraq's eastern Shia majority area would be allocated to Iran. 3. Iraq's southern Sunni majority area would be allocated to Arabia. 4. Iraq's northern Kurdish majority would be allocated to Kurdistan. Kurdistan was diluted due to Turkey's interest and the low cost of ending the conflict between the UK and Turkey.

  5437.  @Nathanos355  >Most of the conflicts of the modern world were inherited from the criminal actions of England, FALSE. India and Pakistan were part of the Islamic Mughal Empire. The Maratha Empire replaced the Mughal Empire. The Maratha Empire was founded in 1674 by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj the Bhosle dynasty. Shivaji Maharaj led resistance efforts to free the Hindus from the Mughals and the Muslim Sultanate of Bijapur and established the rule of the Hindus. The Maratha Empire soon allied with the British East India Company (based in the Bengal Presidency) against Islamic Mysore in the Anglo-Mysore Wars. After the British East India Company had suffered defeat against Mysore in the first two Anglo-Mysore Wars, the Maratha cavalry assisted the British in the last two Anglo-Mysore Wars from 1790 onwards, eventually helping the British conquer Mysore in the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War in 1799. After the British East India Company's conquest, however, the Marathas launched frequent raids in Mysore to plunder the region, which they justified as compensation for past losses to Tipu Sultan. Around 1775, the relationship between the British East India Company and the Maratha Empire degraded into a hot war, which started with the British East India Company intervening in a succession struggle in Pune. The British Raj was the rule of the British Crown on the Indian subcontinent; it is also called Crown rule in India, or Direct rule in India, and lasted from 1858 to 1947. The British government dismantled the British East India Company. ---- The aggressor is the Islamic invaders that existed before the British East India Company's arrival.

  5438.  @siddhartagoutama4140  >Most of the conflicts of the modern world were inherited from the criminal actions of England, FALSE. The Ten Great Campaigns (Chinese: 十全武功; pinyin: Shíquán Wǔgōng) were a series of military campaigns launched by the Qing dynasty of China in the mid–late 18th century during the reign of the Qianlong Emperor (r. 1735–1796). President Xi's argument is based on historical Imperial China's Ten Great Campaigns (Chinese: 十全武功; pinyin: Shíquán Wǔgōng). They included three to enlarge the area of Qing control in Inner Asia: two against the Dzungars (1755–1757) and the "pacification" of Xinjiang (1758–1759). The other seven campaigns were more in the nature of police actions on frontiers already established: two wars to suppress the Gyalrong of Jinchuan, Sichuan, another to suppress the Taiwanese Aboriginals (1787–88), and four expeditions abroad against the Burmese (1765–1769), the Vietnamese (1788–1789), and the Gurkhas on the border between Tibet and Nepal (1790–1792), with the last counting as two. Imperial China had an imperialist conquest of Vietnam and Japan. Imperial Japan returned the favor against China. During the Sino-Burmese Wars, Imperial China invaded the Konbaung dynasty of Burma (Myanmar) multiple times. During the 4th Sino-Burmese Wars starting in 1768, Imperial China invaded the Kingdom of Burma. Burma hired European musketeers and gunners, hence Burma allied itself with the rising French Empire against Imperial China's invasion. Imperial China is an imperialist power that led to the engagement with European imperialist empires. China's conflict with Vietnam has drawn in the Philippines and Malaysia.

Tencent became the world's largest gaming company and owner of China's No.1 messaging system without needing to compete with Facebook's WhatsApp. Baidu and Tencent are prime examples of Chinese companies simply copying the successful business models created in Silicon Valley and then rolling them out without fear of competition at home. Alibaba, which built the world's largest online retailing business, was allowed to dominate China's small business lending without interference from foreigners or much competition from local government-owned entities.

Since joining the WTO in 2001, China has repeatedly insisted that it will live up to those undertakings made on entry. In particular, the use of currency manipulation has been identified by the US as a breech of the commitment to end price controls for the purposes of protecting domestic industries. This became a major political issue from 2005 onwards, and has only recently subsided because it is assumed that the RMB is slightly overvalued on the market. Nevertheless, for years it was deliberate policy for the PBoC to accumulate US Dollars and suppress the exchange rate for the RMB, resulting in exactly the price distortions China had committed to eliminate in 2001, and fuelling an enormous trade surplus with the US, which persists and expands to this day. Furthermore TRIPS implementation has been given some effect on paper, but has made little progress when it comes to 'enforcement.' This is (according to the WTO) as recently as February 2015, fully 14 years after TRIPS was supposed to be already in effect. The US Trade Representative produces an annual report to Congress on China's WTO compliance which leaves little room to conclude they have so far lived up to their accession commitments. The most recent several-hundred-page document - produced in December 2015 - recites a long list of small measures, committees established, announcements made and new administrative complications faced, all continuing disputes over an agreement theoretically in effect since 2001. Although, therefore, protectionism is rising around the world, it is also true to say that existing practices of protectionism have not fallen in the way that they should have since China's accession to the WTO in 2001. Because of this lack of progress in easing trade, the extended period of currency manipulation, the lack of observance of TRIPS and the sheer administrative resistance exporters face when trying to get their products into China, we now face of world of highly unbalanced trade, and rising mistrust. And it is this that is leading to rising protectionism; the simple fact that it never went away. ----------------------------

A Japanese-Australian consortium began converting brown coal into liquid hydrogen as part of a $500 million pilot project at AGL’s nearby Loy Yang A power plant. It plans to create hydrogen through the gasification of Latrobe Valley coal before its transport to the Port of Hasting for liquefaction and shipment to Japan. Hydrogen can be stored and handled like natural gas. Your anti-coal mining = bad is based on ignorance.

Unless the water is desalinated prior to entering the electrolyzer, an expensive extra step, the chloride ions in seawater turn into toxic chlorine gas, which degrades the equipment and seeps into the environment. Freshwater resource for human consumption needs to be conserved.

Since joining the WTO in 2001, China has repeatedly insisted that it will live up to those undertakings made on entry. In particular, the use of currency manipulation has been identified by the US as a breech of the commitment to end price controls for the purposes of protecting domestic industries. This became a major political issue from 2005 onwards, and has only recently subsided because it is assumed that the RMB is slightly overvalued on the market. Nevertheless, for years it was deliberate policy for the PBoC to accumulate US Dollars and suppress the exchange rate for the RMB, resulting in exactly the price distortions China had committed to eliminate in 2001, and fuelling an enormous trade surplus with the US, which persists and expands to this day. Furthermore TRIPS implementation has been given some effect on paper, but has made little progress when it comes to 'enforcement.' This is (according to the WTO) as recently as February 2015, fully 14 years after TRIPS was supposed to be already in effect. The US Trade Representative produces an annual report to Congress on China's WTO compliance which leaves little room to conclude they have so far lived up to their accession commitments. The most recent several-hundred-page document - produced in December 2015 - recites a long list of small measures, committees established, announcements made and new administrative complications faced, all continuing disputes over an agreement theoretically in effect since 2001. Although, therefore, protectionism is rising around the world, it is also true to say that existing practices of protectionism have not fallen in the way that they should have since China's accession to the WTO in 2001. Because of this lack of progress in easing trade, the extended period of currency manipulation, the lack of observance of TRIPS and the sheer administrative resistance exporters face when trying to get their products into China, we now face of world of highly unbalanced trade, and rising mistrust. And it is this that is leading to rising protectionism; the simple fact that it never went away.

  5545.  @RustedCroaker  If you play with historical argument, then Crimea is Crimean Khanate. The Crimean Tatars emerged as a nation at the time of the Crimean Khanate, an Ottoman vassal state during the 16th to 18th centuries. In 1736 the Russian army invaded the Crimea, led by Münnich, devastated the peninsula, killed civilians and destroyed all major cities, occupied the capital, Bakhchisaray, and burnt the Khan's palace with all the archives and documents, and then left the Crimea because of the epidemic that had begun in it. One year after the same was done by another Russian general — Peter Lacy. Since then, the Crimean Khanate had not been able to recover, and its slow decline began. The Russo-Turkish War of 1768 to 1774 resulted in the defeat of the Ottomans by the Russians, and according to the Treaty of Küçük Kaynarca (1774) signed after the war, Crimea became independent and the Ottomans renounced their political right to protect the Crimean Khanate. After a period of political unrest in Crimea, Imperial Russia violated the treaty and annexed the Crimean Khanate in 1783.

  5615. Daniel Green https://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/a-guide-to-understanding-the-dairy-dispute-between-the-us-andcanada/article34802291/ Canada has long maintained a high tariff wall on most dairy products. The duty on milk is 270 per cent. That keeps most imports from the United States and elsewhere out of Canada, while helping to prop up higher domestic prices. One notable exception is ultrafiltered milk and other protein-rich dairy ingredients used to make dairy products such as cheese and yogurt. North American free-trade rules do not cover these ingredients, so they enter Canada duty-free. And in recent years, U.S. dairies have developed a booming business selling these low-cost products to dairies in Canada ($133-million last year). That all changed about a year ago, when Canadian dairy farmers and producers moved to close the breach in the tariff wall with a new "ingredients strategy." They persuaded regulators to create a new lower-priced class of industrial milk as an incentive to get dairies to produce protein substances in Canada, using Canadian milk. The result was predictable: U.S. imports fell in 2016, and are declining sharply so far this year. In 2016, Canada started a trade war against US. Hypocrites from Canada. Canada talks about "Free Trade" while installed a trade protection for it's dairy industry.

  5619. For Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum context, Russia, the US, and the UK confirmed their Ukraine becoming parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and effectively abandoning their nuclear arsenal to Russia and that they would: 1. Respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders. 2. Refrain from the threat or the use of force against Ukraine. 3. Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine to influence their politics. 4. Seek immediate Security Council action to provide assistance to Ukraine if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used". 5. Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against Ukraine. 6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments. China and France gave somewhat weaker individual assurances in separate documents. Russia has exited Budapest Memorandum. The US and UK are fulfilling points 4 and 6 in accordance with Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum. Budapest Memorandum's security assurances are weaker than NATO's Article V and EU's Article 42.7 ---- Read the Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17 that disallows foreign military bases after 2017. CONSTITUTION OF UKRAINE Adopted at the Fifth Session of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on 28 June 1996 Article 17 The location of foreign military bases shall not be permitted on the territory of Ukraine. Yanukovych breached the Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17. After 2017, Ukraine's constitution is incompatible with foreign military bases hosting either NATO or CSTO. If Yanukovych didn't sign the military base rental extension, Russia would be kicked out of Crimea. Putin's narrative is FALSE.

They included three to enlarge the area of Qing control in Inner Asia: two against the Dzungars (1755–1757) and the "pacification" of Xinjiang (1758–1759). The other seven campaigns were more in the nature of police actions on frontiers already established: two wars to suppress the Gyalrong of Jinchuan, Sichuan, another to suppress the Taiwanese Aboriginals (1787–88), and four expeditions abroad against the Burmese (1765–1769), the Vietnamese (1788–1789), and the Gurkhas on the border between Tibet and Nepal (1790–1792), with the last counting as two. President Xi's argument is based on historical Imperial China's Ten Great Campaigns (Chinese: 十全武功; pinyin: Shíquán Wǔgōng). China current's territorial dispute is based on Imperial China's Ten Great Campaigns. History is repeating itself. Keating failed history.

A: The term refers to a class of modern reactors that are essentially “small”, and each unit can be manufactured in a factory. Small Modular Reactor WalkAway Safe vs Typical Pressurised Water Reactor Automatic with operator intervention Small Modular Reactors are “modular” in the sense that each unit can be assembled next to another and scaled up or down to meet the local electricity needs. SMRs are designed with a high level of passive or inherent safety features. This means operator intervention or external power supply are not needed to shut down the reactor and maintain cooling to remove the core’s residual heat in the event that power is lost to the plant. SMRs can run on standard reactor fuel because of their passive safety systems that make the reactor ‘walk away safe’.

  5704.  @simonharris4873  As an example The MMR reactor is a walk-away safe reactor. In the case of an accident, the MMR reactor cannot meltdown , as all heat dissipates passively into the environment, no matter the scenario. The plant has no need for active systems to remove heat. Additionally, the plant does not need any outside services, including electrical power, to operate safely. The fuel safety margin is so large that fission product retention is accomplished entirely by the fuel; no other containment is needed. There are no sudden temperature rises – the reactor shuts down naturally in all accident conditions. Passively cools in all scenarios No active safety systems needed No water or power needed Site Area would only be 5 acres and the reactor could be installed in a few months. The MMR reactor is fueled once for its lifetime. A fuel cartridge is rated at 20 years of full power. If operation of the Energy System is desired beyond 20 years, a cartridge replacement can be performed. The MMR’s high-temperature heat has many uses beyond generation of electricity.

  5707.  @simonharris4873  Wrong analogy since it doesn't deal with the technology involved. Better analogy is active vs passive cooling for a CPU. High wattage CPU needs active cooling while low wattage CPU can be cooled down by passive cooling. Without managed safety (e.g. autoshut down, auto thottle down), high wattage CPU can burn when active cooling fails. Passive cooled CPU is popular for walkaway embbeded CPU solution. Your smoking analogy is red herring with any technological issues.

Fast neutron reactors (FNRs) are a technological step beyond conventional power reactors, but are poised to become mainstream. They offer the prospect of vastly more efficient use of uranium resources and the ability to burn actinides which are otherwise the long-lived component of high-level nuclear waste. Generation IV reactor designs are largely FNRs, and international collaboration on FNR designs is proceeding with high priority.

  5716.  @trevorcrook5753  The United States remained Europe’s top supplier of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in the first 3 months of 2021 as it continued to gain market share at the expense of Russia and Qatar, Europe’s second- and third-largest sources of LNG, according to the EU Commission’s latest European Gas Market Report. The US supplied 24% (4.2 Bcm) of the EU’s overall LNG imports (17 Bcm in Q1 2021); Russia placed second at 21% (3.7 Bcm); and Qatar was third at 18% (3.1 Bcm), the EU Commission reported in early July. When compared to Q4 2020, the US picked up 2% market share from January to March this year, while Russia bested Qatar to become Europe’s second-largest LNG supplier. Nigeria placed fourth, followed by Algeria and Trinidad and Tobago. A review of EU Commission reports dating back to 2019 reveals a steady quarter-to-quarter decline in Europe’s LNG purchases while it also documents the growing rivalry between the US and Russia, Qatar’s fall from dominance, and the emergence of the US as Europe’s top LNG supplier starting Q4 2019. The EU is the world’s third-largest LNG market, though its imports amounted to only about half that of Japan (36 Bcm) and China (32 Bcm) in Q1 2021. European gas consumption rose 7.6% to 132 Bcm in Q1 based on a year-on-year comparison. The commission noted that demand for gas as fuel to generate electricity rose 3.4%, also year-on-year (increasing by 4.9 TWh.)

The program has “not been asked” about whether the stealthy LRASM can fit inside the F-35’s weapon bays, he said, nor has the Navy asked to integrate the SLAM-ER (Standoff Land Attack Missile-Extended Range) version of the Harpoon anti-ship missile. <...> Last October, then-Defense Secretary Jim Mattis directed the Air Force to increase mission capable rates for the F-22, F-16, and F-35 to at least 80 percent. At the time, the F-35 rate was 54 percent overall, but for 3F aircraft recently off the production line, the rate was better than 80 percent. Winter agreed that spare parts are the “long pole in the tent” for getting the F-35 fleet up to the 80 percent standard. “We have initiatives underway to increase spare parts production,” he said, including accelerating the rate at which parts can be repaired by the F-35 depot at Hill AFB, Utah. This will allow industry to concentrate on making more new parts, rather than fixing older ones, he said. The Air Force has until Sept. 30 to achieve the 80 percent mission capable rate, assuming the order stands under Acting Defense Secretary Patrick M. Shanahan or his successor. ------ Try again.

  5786.  @AlexandruAlic  The Chile example, Marxist Salvador Allende clashed with the right-wing parties that controlled Congress and with the judiciary. On 11 September 1973, the military moved to oust Allende in a coup d'état. Marxist Salvador Allende's presidential branch effectively declared war on the judiciary and right-wing majority governed Congress branches. During the 1970 Chilean presidential election, both the United States and the Soviet Union poured money into this election through their intelligence agencies and other sources. 💰KGB money was more precisely targeted. Allende made a personal request for Soviet money through his personal contact, KGB officer Svyatoslav Kuznetsov, who urgently came to Chile from Mexico City to help Allende. The original allocation of money for these elections through the KGB was $400,000, and an additional personal subsidy of $50,000 directly to Allende.[8] It is believed that help from KGB was a decisive factor, because Allende won by a narrow margin of 39,000 votes of a total of the 3 million cast. After the elections, the KGB director Yuri Andropov obtained permission for additional money and other resources from the Central Committee of the CPSU to ensure Allende victory in Congress. In his request on 24 October, he stated that KGB "will carry out measures designed to promote the consolidation of Allende's victory and his election to the post of President of the country". --------------- In your argument's summary, the USSR-supported regime change intervention is okay while the US intervention is bad. Your argument is hypocritical. USSR's proxy attempted to remove Chile's check-and-balance Congress system.

Marxist Salvador Allende clashed with the right-wing parties that controlled Congress and with the judiciary. On 11 September 1973, the military moved to oust Allende in a coup d'état. Marxist Salvador Allende's presidential branch effectively declared war on the judiciary and right-wing majority governed Congress branches. During the 1970 Chilean presidential election, both the United States and the Soviet Union poured money into this election through their intelligence agencies and other sources. 💰KGB money was more precisely targeted. Allende made a personal request for Soviet money through his personal contact, KGB officer Svyatoslav Kuznetsov, who urgently came to Chile from Mexico City to help Allende. The original allocation of money for these elections through the KGB was $400,000, and an additional personal subsidy of $50,000 directly to Allende.[8] It is believed that help from KGB was a decisive factor, because Allende won by a narrow margin of 39,000 votes of a total of the 3 million cast. After the elections, the KGB director Yuri Andropov obtained permission for additional money and other resources from the Central Committee of the CPSU to ensure Allende victory in Congress. In his request on 24 October, he stated that KGB "will carry out measures designed to promote the consolidation of Allende's victory and his election to the post of President of the country". --------------- In your argument's summary, the USSR-supported regime change intervention is okay while the US intervention is bad.

Scott Ritter, 50, was taken into custody immediately after Monroe County Judge Jennifer Sibum sentenced him to 18 to 66 months behind bars. It was the second time in eight years that Ritter, of Delmar, N.Y., found himself in legal trouble for trying to lure underage girls into illicit sex. ---- United Nations weapons inspector Scott Ritter's creditability is dead. Date: March 2017 Kurdistan’s Interior Minister said on Tuesday the Regional Government since its formation had demanded from the federal government to pay compensation to the families of Kurdish victims who suffered genocide, killing, and displacement from the former Iraqi regime. Rebar Ahmed stressed during the Parliament session that in 2014 “we decided to announce Halabja as a governorate,… but perhaps the big problem facing Halabja is that Iraq is not yet ready to recognize it as a governorate. Therefore, the federal government did not allocate a financial budget for it.” Ahmed continued that when the first Kurdish delegation went to Baghdad, it delivered the Prime Minister a request to compensate the victims of the people of Kurdistan with 380 billion dollars for the crimes committed by Saddam Hussein's regime in Halabja, Anfal and to Barzanis, Faili Kurds, and all victims of Baath crimes. The Halabja chemical attack, also known as the Halabja Massacre or Bloody Friday was a massacre of Kurdish people that took place on 16 March 1988, during the closing days of the Iran–Iraq War in the Kurdish city of Halabja in Iraqi Kurdistan. The attack was part of the Al-Anfal Campaign in Kurdistan, as well as part of the Iraqi Army's attempt to repel the Iranian Operation Zafar 7. It took place 48 hours after the capture of the town by the Iranian Army. A United Nations (UN) medical investigation concluded that mustard gas was used in the attack, along with unidentified nerve agents. The incident was the largest chemical weapons attack directed against a civilian-populated area in history, killing between 3,200 and 5,000 people and injuring 7,000 to 10,000 more, most of them civilians. Preliminary results from surveys of the affected region showed an increased rate of cancer and birth defects in the years afterward.

  5886.  @vaibhav07  >here is the complete reply that Gorbachev gave. MG: I called this a big mistake from the very beginning. It was definitely a violation of the spirit of the statements and assurances made to us in 1990. These statements were made in the context of the negotiations on German reunification. As former Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze later put it, the idea of the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact dissolving and NATO taking in former Warsaw Pact members was beyond the imagination of the protagonists at the time. The dissolution of the Warsaw Pact and the end of the Soviet Union in 1991 later created a completely new situation, as the countries of Central and Eastern Europe were finally able to assert their sovereignty and define their own foreign and security policy goals. Latvia’s defense minister, Artis Pabriks: "If we were not now a member of NATO or the European Union, we would share the fate of Ukraine now. It would be guaranteed that Russia would invade us. Now they can’t do this because we are a member of NATO,” Just on a sidenote: Europeans including Russians do have a common fate: two World Wars. Russia's attempt to impose a dividing Europe by Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact version 2.0 will be not tolerated by NATO and the EU. US/UK/Poland/Romania/Bulgaria/Estonia/Latvia/Lithuania has unfinished WW2 business with the removal of the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact!! ----- MG: The decision for the U.S. and its allies to expand NATO into the east was decisively made in 1993.

  5889.  @vaibhav07  Fact : Six countries only Agreed To Restrictions On Former GDR In 1990, six countries – East and West Germany, the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain and France – held discussions on the reunification of Germany. The Germans, Americans, British, and French agreed that there would be “no deployment of non-German NATO forces on the territory of the former GDR (East Germany)“. That agreement was incorporated in Article 5 of the Treaty on the Final Settlement with Respect to Germany, which was signed on 12 September 1990 by the six countries : Until Soviet forces had completed their withdrawal from the former GDR, only German territorial defense units not integrated into NATO would be deployed in that territory. There would be no increase in the numbers of troops or equipment of U.S., British and French forces stationed in Berlin. Once Soviet forces had withdrawn, German forces assigned to NATO could be deployed in the former GDR, but foreign forces and nuclear weapons systems would not be deployed there. --- The Three Seas Initiative member countries did NOT sign Treaty on the Final Settlement with Respect to Germany.

  5910.  @jedandreicalasan  >Did anyone this war the Philippine American war Not a major issue for the present human generation when the current Philippines has its independence. President Xi's argument is based on historical Imperial China's Ten Great Campaigns. Territorial disputes around Xi's China are based on Imperial China's Ten Great Campaigns. The Ten Great Campaigns (Chinese: 十全武功; pinyin: Shíquán Wǔgōng) were a series of military campaigns launched by the Qing dynasty of China in the mid–late 18th century during the reign of the Qianlong Emperor (r. 1735–1796). They included three to enlarge the area of Qing control in Inner Asia: two against the Dzungars (1755–1757) and the "pacification" of Xinjiang (1758–1759). The other seven campaigns were more in the nature of police actions on frontiers already established: two wars to suppress the Gyalrong of Jinchuan, Sichuan, another to suppress the Taiwanese Aboriginals (1787–88), and four expeditions abroad against the Burmese (1765–1769), the Vietnamese (1788–1789), and the Gurkhas on the border between Tibet and Nepal (1790–1792), with the last counting as two. During the 4th Sino-Burmese Wars starting in 1768, Imperial China invaded the Kingdom of Burma. Burma hired European musketeers and gunners, hence Burma allied itself with the rising French Empire against Imperial China's invasion. In modern times, China's imperialist actions against Vietnam have spread to Vietnam's neighbor i.e. Philippines. The old world conflict zones remain similar in modern times.

Just like Ukraine That's a FALSE narrative. 1. 1863–1864 January uprising, Russian Empire crushed Polish, Lithuanian, and Ukrainian insurgents uprising. 2. Soviet–Ukrainian War occurred between 1917 to 1921, a war between the Ukrainian People's Republic vs the Bolsheviks i.e. Ukrainian Soviet Republic and the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (modern-day Russian Federation). These "old world" issues existed before the US became a superpower. The US's involvement with Ukraine is done by Ukrainian descendants who fled the Soviet–Ukrainian War that occurred in 1917. Ukraine does not forget. Regardless of the economic system, the Grand Duchy of Moscow's imperialist behavior remained the same. Being communist doesn't hide the fact the Grand Duchy of Moscow didn't change its nationalist expansion.

Wuhan’s major virus type, ‘B’, was prevalent in patients from across East Asia. However, the variant didn’t travel much beyond the region without further mutations – implying a 'founder event' in Wuhan, or 'resistance' against this type of COVID-19 outside East Asia, say researchers. From https://www.pnas.org/content/early/2020/04/07/2004999117 has https://www.pnas.org/content/pnas/early/2020/04/07/2004999117/F1.large.jpg Fig. 1. Phylogenetic network of 160 SARS-CoV-2 genomes. Node A is the root cluster obtained with the bat (R. affinis) coronavirus isolate BatCoVRaTG13 from Yunnan Province. Circle areas are proportional to the number of taxa, and each notch on the links represents a mutated nucleotide position. The sequence range under consideration is 56 to 29,797, with nucleotide position (np) numbering according to the Wuhan 1 reference sequence (8). The median-joining network algorithm (2) and the Steiner algorithm (9) were used, both implemented in the software package Network5011CS (https://www.fluxus-engineering.com/), with the parameter epsilon set to zero, generating this network containing 288 most-parsimonious trees of length 229 mutations. The reticulations are mainly caused by recurrent mutations at np11083. The 161 taxa (160 human viruses and one bat virus) yield 101 distinct genomic sequences. The phylogenetic diagram is available for detailed scrutiny in A0 poster format (SI Appendix, Fig. S5) and in the free Network download files.

Answer: Native Americans had never experienced smallpox, measles or flu before, and the viruses tore through the continent, killing an estimated 90% of Native Americans. Smallpox is believed to have arrived in the Americas in 1520 on a Spanish ship sailing from Cuba, carried by an infected African slave. Both UK and US attacked/pushed out/bought out other European colonial powers in North America. In the end, Spanish, French, Russian, and British colonial powers were removed from the Americas.

We categorically oppose any unilateral changes to the status quo from either side. We do not support Taiwan independence. And we stand firmly behind the principle that cross-strait differences must be resolved by peaceful means. Now, as a part of our one-China policy, we will continue to fulfill our commitments under the Taiwan Relations Act. That includes assisting Taiwan in maintaining a sufficient self-defense capability. And it means maintaining our own capacity to resist any use of force or other forms of coercion that would jeopardize the security or the social or economic system of the people of Taiwan. So our policy hasn’t changed. But unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to be true for the PRC.

  5944.  Huo Yeh  The Republic of Formosa was a short-lived republic that existed on the island of Taiwan in 1895 between the formal cession of Taiwan by the Qing dynasty of China to the Empire of Japan by the Treaty of Shimonoseki and its being taken over by Japanese troops. The Republic of Formosa was proclaimed on 23 May 1895 and extinguished on 21 October, when the Republican capital Tainan was taken over by Imperial Japan's military. Though sometimes claimed as the first Asian republic to have been proclaimed, it was predated by the Lanfang Republic in Borneo, established in 1777, as well as by the Republic of Ezo in Japan, established in 1869. ---- The Republic of Ezo existed for five months before being annexed by the newly established Empire of Japan. On January 27, 1869, the independent "Republic of Ezo" was proclaimed with its government structure based on the United States.

Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine to influence their politics. 4. Seek immediate Security Council action to provide assistance to Ukraine if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used". 5. Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against Ukraine. 6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments. China and France gave somewhat weaker individual assurances in separate documents. Better learn history when UK's entry into WW1 was via defense treaty with Belgium that was invoked when Germany invaded Belgium.

  5996. The Chile example, USSR has supported its Cuban proxy that in turn supported Marxist Salvador Allende. You're a hypocrite. Marxist Salvador Allende clashed with the right-wing parties that controlled Congress and with the judiciary. On 11 September 1973, the military moved to oust Allende in a coup d'état. Marxist Salvador Allende's presidential branch effectively declared war on the judiciary and right-wing majority-governed Congress branches. During the 1970 Chilean presidential election, both the United States and the Soviet Union poured money into this election through their intelligence agencies and other sources. 💰KGB money was more precisely targeted. Allende made a personal request for Soviet money through his personal contact, KGB officer Svyatoslav Kuznetsov, who urgently came to Chile from Mexico City to help Allende. The original allocation of money for these elections through the KGB was $400,000, and an additional personal subsidy of $50,000 directly to Allende.[8] It is believed that help from KGB was a decisive factor, because Allende won by a narrow margin of 39,000 votes of a total of the 3 million cast. After the elections, the KGB director Yuri Andropov obtained permission for additional money and other resources from the Central Committee of the CPSU to ensure Allende victory in Congress. In his request on 24 October, he stated that KGB "will carry out measures designed to promote the consolidation of Allende's victory and his election to the post of President of the country". --------------- In your argument's summary, the USSR-supported regime change intervention is okay while the US intervention is bad. Your argument is hypocritical. USSR's proxy attempted to remove Chile's check-and-balance Congress system. USSR's proxy attempted to concentrate political power into a single entity (individual and political party). The US has no problems with the Swedish-style nanny market led-socialism that is practiced in the CANZUK and Nordic groups.

  6013. Not all Nordstream pipelines were blown up. Both NS1 and NS2 actually consist of 2 pipelines. After the explosions, one of the NS2 pipes remained functional - technically speaking, because it didn't get approval from Germany. As for Russia's motive to destroy the pipeline: Russia stopped supplying gas via NS due to political reasons (Putin's decision). And Russia was sued for this breach of contracts. Blowing up NordStream can be a way to avoid paying huge fines. Only 2 tubes were ever used, and now 1 is available. If the US wanted to shut down gas, why did they leave 1 tube intact? Don't worry, we know who did it, and why - and it wasn't the US.

In the meantime, he adds “we tried to build strong cooperation with Moscow.” He cites the 2002 Russia-NATO council, a development of the 1997 Act, which serves as a mechanism for cooperation, consensus building and joint-decision making. “We do share common interests. We cooperated on counter-terrorism in Afghanistan, counter-narcotics and counter-piracy,” says Rasmussen. Your narrative is not complete.

  6032.  @23strawbale  Minimum Requirements for NATO Membership in 1997. Fact sheet prepared by the Bureau of European and Canadian Affairs, June 30, 1997. NATO membership is potentially open to all of Europe's emerging democracies that share the alliance's values and are ready to meet the obligations of membership. There is no checklist for membership. We have made clear that, at a minimum, candidates for membership must meet the following five requirements: --New members must uphold democracy, including tolerating diversity. --New members must be making progress toward a market economy. --Their military forces must be under firm civilian control. --They must be good neighbors and respect sovereignty outside their borders. --They must be working toward compatibility with NATO forces. Again, while these criteria are essential, they do not constitute a checklist leading automatically to NATO membership. New members must be invited by a consensus of current members. Decisions to invite new members must take into account the required ratification process in the member states. In the case of the United States, decisions are made in consultation with Congress. The key determinant for any invitation to new members is whether their admission to NATO will strengthen the alliance and further the basic objective of NATO enlargement, which is to increase security and stability across Europe.

The region soon came under the rule of the Bani Khalid Emirate in 1670 after the expulsion of the Ottomans from Eastern Arabia (Lahsa Eyalet) by Barrack bin Ghurayr, Emir of the Bani Khalid, who successfully besieged the Ottoman governor Umar Pasha who surrendered and gave up his rule as the fourth Ottoman governor of al-Hasa. In 1752, Kuwait became independent after an agreement between the Sheikh of Kuwait and the Emir of Bani Khalid in which Bani Khalid recognised Sabah I bin Jaber's independent rule over Kuwait and in exchange Kuwait would not ally itself or support the enemies of Bani Khalid or interfere in the internal affairs of Bani Khalid in any way.

  6046.  @squirepraggerstope3591  1. Like Emmanuel Macron's pro-EU army, your militarized EU argument is flawed since you have not factored in the "Treaty on the Final Settlement with Respect to Germany" that limits Germany's troop numbers up to 370,000 personnel. The Treaty of Versailles has a 100,000 German troop limit. The US has largely nullified Germany's war debts by the 1953 London Agreement. The US is unlikely to bail out Germany, again. Atm, NATO-EU members also guarantee EU Article 42.7. The US disagreed with the UK/France's Treaty of Versailles on Germany and the US implemented "the Marshall plan" after WW2. UK/France has their chance after WW1 and created a socio-economic mess in Germany. 2. EU is resource-poor with an inferior total war of attrition strength when compared to the resource-rich Russian Federation. During WW1, the UK relied on resource-rich Canada and Australia. On military strength, Australia beats Canada. Australia and New Zealand have a single economic market.

The US kicked Turkey out of the JSF program and made additional foreign military base agreements with Greece. Changing USAF's short-range F-16C backbone into a longer-range F-35A backbone has reduced the need for the Turkish airbase. The US already made plans for Turkey's potential exit from NATO. The change from F-16 to F-35A with UN's Libya strike mission example, operating from Crete, F-16 typically had to refuel several times while the F-35A would have done the whole mission without refueling. From Crete and Greece air bases with F-35A, USAF can interdict the Aegean and Mediterranean seas with minimal air refueling. 2. Foreign base agreement with the UK for the US supporting UK's WW2 efforts. 3. US defense agreement with smaller countries against old-world imperialist powers.

  6062.  @williamzk9083  1. FACTS: When the German Empire invaded Belgium in August 1914 in violation of the "Treaty of London of 1839", the British declared war on 4 August. Imperialist Germany invaded Belgium. The counterclaim should be blaming Austria-Hungary when Germany is stuck with its defense treaty with Austria-Hungary. The Marshall Plan (ultimately replaced by Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) is the US's post-war method to repair West Germany instead of the French-British's harsh Treaty of Versailles which created an unstable social-economic situation in Germany. OECD factors in the social-economic situation for each of its member countries. Russia has been suspended from OECD. 2. FACTS: Your "Anglo British Naval Treaty of 1904" doesn't exist. Entente Cordiale was signed on April 8, 1904 and the agreement in no sense created an alliance and did not entangle Great Britain with a French commitment to Russia (1894). Entente Cordiale prepares the UK and French cooperation, by solving the issues between the two countries. 3. FACTS: There was "Anglo-French naval agreement of 19I2". "Anglo-French naval agreement of 19I2" would essentially give the French navy responsibility for guarding the Mediterranean, allowing Britain to concentrate its naval power in the North Sea against Germany. The UK has its own sovereign rights for war preparation just like Germany's war preparation. Anything less is hypocritical on your part. 4. Reminder, read the "Treaty on the Final Settlement with Respect to Germany" that limits modern Germany's troop numbers to 370,000. "Treaty on the Final Settlement with Respect to Germany" includes respect for Poland's territorial integrity just like Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum. Unlike Ukraine, Poland is a NATO member with Article V that commits the US/UK nuclear weapons usage in defense of NATO. France does not participate in NATO's nuclear planning mechanisms and its nuclear forces are not formally assigned to NATO. France may call upon its nuclear arsenal if there are threats to its neighbors or allies.

  6067. @Barry 1. Australia Act 1986 eliminated the remaining possibilities for the United Kingdom to legislate with effect in Australia. The principal difference between the Commonwealth and UK versions of the Australia Act lies in the reference, appearing in the long title and preamble to the Commonwealth version but not present in the UK version, to Australia as "a sovereign, independent and federal nation". While this might be understood as a declaration of independence, it can also be understood as an acknowledgment that Australia was already independent, leaving open the question of when independence had been attained. There is no earlier declaration or grant of independence. Australia Act 1986 was Australia's official declaration of independence. 2. Canada Act 1982 ended the power of the British Parliament to amend Canada's constitution. The act also formally ended the "request and consent" provisions of the Statute of Westminster 1931 in relation to Canada, whereby the British parliament had a general power to pass laws extending to Canada at its own request. 3. New Zealand Constitution Act 1986 removed the ability of the British Parliament to legislate for New Zealand. The Act repealed the New Zealand Constitution Act 1852, renamed the General Assembly as the "Parliament of New Zealand" and ended the right of the Parliament of the United Kingdom to make laws for New Zealand.

Medicare levy surcharge rates and thresholds The MLS rate of 1%, 1.25% or 1.5% is levied on: your taxable income total reportable fringe benefits, and any amount on which family trust distribution tax has been paid. The base income threshold (under which you are not liable to pay the MLS) is: $90,000 for singles $180,000 (plus $1,500 for each dependent child after the first one) for families. However, if you had a spouse for the full year, you do not have to pay the MLS if: your family income exceeds the $180,000 (plus $1,500 for each dependent child after the first one), but your own income for MLS purposes was $23,226 or less. If you had a new spouse, or you separated from your spouse, during the year: you may be liable for MLS for the number of days you were single – if your own income for MLS purposes was more than the single surcharge threshold of $90,000 you may be liable for MLS for the number of days you had a spouse or dependent children – if your own income for MLS purposes was more than the family surcharge threshold of $180,000 (plus $1,500 for each dependent child after the first one).

Respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders. 2. Refrain from the threat or the use of force against Ukraine. 3. Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine to influence their politics. 4. Seek immediate Security Council action to provide assistance to Ukraine if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used". 5. Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against Ukraine. 6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments. China and France gave somewhat weaker individual assurances in separate documents. Russia has exited Budapest Memorandum. The US and UK are fulfilling points 4 and 6 in accordance with Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum. Budapest Memorandum's security assurances are weaker than NATO's Article V and EU's Article 42.7. Your argument is hypocritical when security assurance providers are Russia, the UK, the US, France, and China.

CONSTITUTION OF UKRAINE Adopted at the Fifth Session of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on 28 June 1996 Article 17 The location of foreign military bases shall not be permitted on the territory of Ukraine. Yanukovych breached the Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17. After 2017, Ukraine's constitution is incompatible with foreign military bases hosting either NATO or CSTO. If Yanukovych didn't sign the military base rental extension, Russia would be kicked out of Crimea. Putin's narrative is FALSE. Putin's pressure caused Yanukovych to make a mistake.

  6139. Every country has the right to operate a biolab and Ukraine did NOT invade another country. Basic pathology blood test requires a bio lab. Saddam's Iraq invaded two other countries i.e. Kuwait and Iran. Remember, Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum exchanged Ukraine's nuclear WMD for security assurances from US, UK, and Russia. France and China signed a watered-down Budapest Memorandum. Budapest Memorandum requires Ukraine to join Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty as part of Ukraine's nuclear WMD disarmament. Tucker is ignorant of Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum. Russia has exited Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum. If the US exits from Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum, then Ukraine has the right to develop its WMDs to defend itself against land-grabbing Russian imperialists. Russia does not maintain Ukraine's territorial integrity. Did you know Australia has similar security assurances like Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum and Australia does NOT have a NATO Article V level guarantee with the US? From 1950 to the 1960s, Australia detonated nuclear bombs as a joint partner with the UK. Australia has many Biolabs for agriculture, animal health, human health and 'etc'. Allowing Russian-proven WMDs while disallowing Ukraine's ability to defend itself is the height of hypocrisy.

Marxist Salvador Allende clashed with the right-wing parties that controlled Congress and with the judiciary. On 11 September 1973, the military moved to oust Allende in a coup d'état. Marxist Salvador Allende's presidential branch effectively declared war on the judiciary and right-wing majority governed Congress branches. During the 1970 Chilean presidential election, both the United States and the Soviet Union poured money into this election through their intelligence agencies and other sources. 💰KGB money was more precisely targeted. Allende made a personal request for Soviet money through his personal contact, KGB officer Svyatoslav Kuznetsov, who urgently came to Chile from Mexico City to help Allende. The original allocation of money for these elections through the KGB was $400,000, and an additional personal subsidy of $50,000 directly to Allende.[8] It is believed that help from KGB was a decisive factor, because Allende won by a narrow margin of 39,000 votes of a total of the 3 million cast. After the elections, the KGB director Yuri Andropov obtained permission for additional money and other resources from the Central Committee of the CPSU to ensure Allende victory in Congress. In his request on 24 October, he stated that KGB "will carry out measures designed to promote the consolidation of Allende's victory and his election to the post of President of the country".[8] You're a hypocrite.

During World War II, the Soviet Union took parts of the Moldavian ASSR, which was dissolved, and of the Kingdom of Romania's Bessarabia to form the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic in 1940. The Moldavian SSR, organised by a decision of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR on 2 August 1940, was formed out of a part of Bessarabia (taken from Romania on 28 June, after the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact) and out of a part of the Moldavian ASSR roughly equivalent to present-day Transnistria.

The Americans are urging Australia to unleash its retail bank's strength into the money markets, but the AU federal government refuses to move on this issue i.e. WW2 era retail bank protective regulation remains active. At Nov 2021, AU pension funds have passed the $2.1 trillion USD mark, hence the pension savings to GDP ratio is at 1.51.

  6189. For around Nigeria area. Before British colonization, at the beginning of the 19th century, Usman dan Fodio led a successful jihad against the Hausa Kingdoms founding the centralised Sokoto Caliphate. The empire with Arabic as its official language grew rapidly under his rule and that of his descendants, who sent out invading armies in every direction. The vast landlocked empire connected the east with the western Sudan region and made inroads down south conquering parts of the Oyo Empire (modern-day Kwara), and advanced towards the Yoruba heartland of Ibadan, to reach the Atlantic Ocean. The territory controlled by the empire included much of modern-day northern and central Nigeria. The sultan sent out emirs to establish a suzerainty over the conquered territories and promote Islamic civilization, the emirs in turn became increasingly rich and powerful through trade and slavery. By the 1890s, the largest slave population in the world, about two million, was concentrated in the territories of the Sokoto Caliphate. The use of slave labour was extensive, especially in agriculture. -------- The Barbary Wars were a series of two wars fought by the United States, Sweden, and the Kingdom of Sicily against the pro-slave North African Barbary states (including Tunis, Algiers, and Tripoli) of North Africa in the early 19th century. --------- Russia has armed Indonesians to suppress the black west Papuans.

  6191. A statement from the real F-16 designer on a larger wing area F-16 Designer Harry Hillaker Harry Hillaker's statement on low wing loading and wing size... _For example, the drag coefficient of an F-16 is about the same as that of an F-4. However, the F-16 has about one-third the drag of an F-4 in level flight. At angle of attack, it is about one-fifteenth We knew that we wanted low wing loading and high thrust loading. But we also knew that low wing loading means more weight and more drag Critics like Pierre Sprey's argument on low wing loading are insufficient. Larger wings introduce higher drag which degrades acceleration performance. For vortex lift generation, F-16 was designed with low drag at an angle of attack, hence smaller wings.

  6205.  @adrianhdragon718  >US-CHINA TRADE WAR begun by the Trump Administration back in early 2018 That's a false narrative. From SCMP Article date: May 2016 (BEFORE the Trump administration!). Title: Is China making life difficult for foreign companies? China welcomed them with open arms, but now overseas firms are complaining about the country’s increasingly hostile business environment as concerns rise over protectionism, forced technology transfers and tightening censorship ------ China's rare earth near-monopoly was built on SOE (State-Owned Enterprise) which drove private competitors from the market. Rare earth is important for the electronics component production logistics chain. From Graphite Publications article from 2010. Title: Will chinas Outrageous Rare Earth Monopoly Persist Year Date: 2010. Heavy importers of these REEs such as the U.S., Germany, and Japan believe these rationales disguise China’s true exploitative motive: to force foreign factories to move to China to keep their costs low and their supply high Second, importing countries have been concerned with the agglutination of Chinese mining companies in what appears to be a calculated move to make China’s monopoly even more monopolistic. Most prominently, Bao Gang Rare Earth (BGRE), a state-owned REE company forcibly merged with four smaller companies and numerous smaller companies were shut down to create a monopoly in Northern China which accounts for two-thirds of China’s output. Moreover, China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) decreed minimum production thresholds for domestic companies in early August 2012, essentially truncating the smallest REE producers as well as with 20% of China’s rare earths capacity. Third, Chinese companies have determinedly acted to protect their monopoly by buying potential international rivals. Lynas Corp., an Australian company displayed plans to open a new REE mine when in May 2009, a company owned by the Chinese government swooped in with a $366 million bid and bought a majority stake in it.

Iraq-Kurdish victims are winning European court battles against European companies that provided chemical components for Saddam's WMDs. LOL. In Iraq, Date: March 2017 Kurdistan’s Interior Minister said on Tuesday the Regional Government since its formation had demanded from the federal government to pay compensation to the families of Kurdish victims who suffered genocide, killing, and displacement from the former Iraqi regime. Rebar Ahmed stressed during the Parliament session that in 2014 “we decided to announce Halabja as a governorate,… but perhaps the big problem facing Halabja is that Iraq is not yet ready to recognize it as a governorate. Therefore, the federal government did not allocate a financial budget for it.” Ahmed continued that when the first Kurdish delegation went to Baghdad, it delivered the Prime Minister a request to compensate the victims of the people of Kurdistan with 380 billion dollars for the crimes committed by Saddam Hussein's regime in Halabja, Anfal and to Barzanis, Faili Kurds, and all victims of Baath crimes. The Halabja chemical attack, also known as the Halabja Massacre or Bloody Friday was a massacre of Kurdish people that took place on 16 March 1988, during the closing days of the Iran–Iraq War in the Kurdish city of Halabja in Iraqi Kurdistan. The attack was part of the Al-Anfal Campaign in Kurdistan, as well as part of the Iraqi Army's attempt to repel the Iranian Operation Zafar 7. It took place 48 hours after the capture of the town by the Iranian Army. A United Nations (UN) medical investigation concluded that mustard gas was used in the attack, along with unidentified nerve agents. The incident was the largest chemical weapons attack directed against a civilian-populated area in history, killing between 3,200 and 5,000 people and injuring 7,000 to 10,000 more, most of them civilians. Preliminary results from surveys of the affected region showed an increased rate of cancer and birth defects in the years afterward. The Halabja attack has been officially defined by the Supreme Iraqi Criminal Tribunal as a genocidal massacre against the Kurdish people in Iraq ---- According to the Iraqi-Kurdish regional government, Iraq's WMD exist.

The US provided less conventional military equipment than British or German companies but it did allow the export of biological agents, including anthrax; vital ingredients for chemical weapons; and cluster bombs sold by a CIA front organisation in Chile, the report says. The only occasion that Iraq's use of banned weapons seems to have worried the Reagan administration came in 1988, after Lt Col Francona toured the battlefield on the al-Faw peninsula in southern Iraq and reported signs of sarin gas. ----------------- Chasing after Saddam during the Bush Jr administration is too late.

  6252.  Goughs Bastard  1. In 1909, the federal government of prime minister, Alfred Deakin, introduced legislation for a form of conscription for boys from 12 to 14 years of age and for youths from 18 to 20 years of age for the purposes of home defence. The legislation did not allow soldiers to be conscripted for overseas service. This legislation was passed through the combined support of the Protectionist Party and the Australian Labor Party. Following a visit and a report on Australia's defence readiness by Field Marshal Kitchener, the Australian Labor Party government instituted a system of compulsory military training for all males aged between 12 and 26 from 1 January 1911.[1] [2] Under Labor prime minister Billy Hughes, full conscription for overseas service was attempted during WWI through two plebiscites. Try again.

Before Euromaidan, Russia started a trade war against Ukraine, forcing Yanukovych to sign a base rental extension agreement that breached Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17 disallows foreign military bases after 2017. Read the Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17 which disallows foreign military bases after 2017. CONSTITUTION OF UKRAINE Adopted at the Fifth Session of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on 28 June 1996 Article 17 The location of foreign military bases shall not be permitted on the territory of Ukraine. Yanukovych breached the Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17. After 2017, Ukraine's constitution is incompatible with foreign military bases hosting either NATO or CSTO. If Yanukovych didn't sign the military base rental extension, Russia would be kicked out of Crimea. Putin's narrative is FALSE. Putin's pressure caused Yanukovych to make a mistake. My comments are based on former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko's argument for removing Yanukovych.

  6261.  @Shenzhou.  Date August 2013 via DW Tighter Russian customs controls at the joint border amounted to a complete halt of exports, the Federation of Ukrainian Employers said in a statement released Thursday. As hundreds of cargo train cars were stuck at the Russian-Ukrainian border, the business lobby group said the trade restrictions recently imposed by Moscow would cost companies up to $2.5 billion (1.8 billion euros) in losses. On Wednesday, Russian border guards started comprehensive checks on all Ukrainian cargo in the wake of tougher restrictions on products made by its Western neighbor, which had been announced by Moscow earlier this week. While the government in Kyiv didn't comment on the new controls, Ukrainian opposition leader Arseniy Yatsenyuk described them as a trade war which had reached a threatening scale. On Thursday, Yatsenyuk also accused Russia of trying to force Ukraine into joining a Moscow-led economic trade bloc, called Customs Union. Russian President Vladimir Putin pressed the idea of forming a Eurasian economic union during a meeting with Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich last month. However, Yanukovich resisted the attempt, hoping to sign an association agreement with the European Union in November.

  6298. How do Chinese loans compare with others? By 2020, Sri Lanka's inability to honor maturing external debts was looming. The International Monetary Fund put the island's foreign debt at $38.6 billion, or 47.6% of the central government's total debt. China's slice was 10%, as was Japan's, placing the leading bilateral lenders after the main foreign creditors, international sovereign bondholders and the Asian Development Bank. But the cost of borrowing from China set that debt apart. Numbers crunched by Verite Research, a Colombo-based think tank, show that the interest rates on Chinese loans averaged 3.3%, versus 0.7% for Japan's. And the maturity period averaged 18 years for Chinese debt, shorter than India's 24 years and Japan's 34 years. None of this hindered the Rajapaksas' appetite for Chinese credit, opening the door for the Asian powerhouse to fund over a third of 313 debt-funded projects in post-conflict Sri Lanka.

In a 2000 report, journalist Ambrose Evans-Pritchard uncovered a secret plot, which saw US spies directly funding the European project. For example, one paper, dated July 25, 1950, gives instruction for a campaign to promote a fully-fledged European Parliament. It was signed by Gen William J Donovan, head of the American wartime Office of Strategic Services, the CIA's precursor. Mr Pritchard's report claims that Washington's main tool for shaping the European agenda was the American Committee for a United Europe (ACUE). --- The USA supported the United States of Europe concept. Your narrative is false and it's the complete opposite of the US agenda on building the United States of Europe. Gen William J Donovan is Catholic.

Pressured Yanukovych to sign a base rental extension agreement that breached Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17 disallows foreign military bases after 2017. On 21 April 2010, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych signed an agreement[16] in which Russia agreed to a 30% drop in the price of natural gas sold to Ukraine. Russia agreed to this in exchange for permission to extend Russia's lease of a major naval base in the Ukrainian Black Sea port of Sevastopol for an additional 25 years (to 2042) with an option for a further 5-year renewal (to 2047).[17] The agreement put a cap on the scale of price hikes; but the main unfavourable terms for Ukraine of the 2009 gas contract remained in place.[18] This pressure caused Yanukovych to make a mistake that breached Ukraine's Constitution 1996, Article 17. You missed the small detail in Ukraine's Constitution 1996, Article 17 which disallows foreign military bases after 2017. CONSTITUTION OF UKRAINE Adopted at the Fifth Session of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on 28 June 1996 Article 17 The location of foreign military bases shall not be permitted on the territory of Ukraine. Yanukovych breached the Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17. After 2017, Ukraine's constitution is incompatible with foreign military bases hosting either NATO or CSTO.

The Russian narrative to decouple North America's raw material security guarantees from mainland Europe will enable Russia to win any war of attrition against Germany! Germany knows the narrative to detach Europe from North America's raw material security guarantees. Germany used NATO with North America's raw material security guarantees to further its own interest when it failed in WW1's goals. NATO was used to check Russia and avoid the WW1 trigger.

  6361.  @sheronbuytten7054  7. During the G20 meeting in Australia, the Collins Class is unable to perform fast silent interception and silent escort roles since Australia enlisted a US nuclear attack submarine when it monitored a small Russian fleet located outside Australia's northeast waters. Collins Class's silent run has about 890 km range at 4 knots. Japanese AIP subs can do 6.5 knots with an 11,000 km range. Japanese AIP tech is licensed from Sweden. Cargo ships have a higher speed e.g. 20 knots. At higher speeds, Collins Class is not silent with submerged diesel run. Europe's non-nuclear powered submarines that defend smaller European countries' smaller coastlines shouldn't be used for Australia's 35,000 km coastline defense i.e. Australia is not France nor Sweden.

It is the eighth year the proposal has been knocked back, with China and Russia voting the proposal down on previous occasions. This caused Australia to enlist help from the EU while New Zealand enlist help from the US. ------ President Xi's argument is based on historical Imperial China's Ten Great Campaigns. Territorial disputes around Xi's China are based on Imperial China's Ten Great Campaigns. The Ten Great Campaigns (Chinese: 十全武功; pinyin: Shíquán Wǔgōng) were a series of military campaigns launched by the Qing dynasty of China in the mid–late 18th century during the reign of the Qianlong Emperor (r. 1735–1796). They included three to enlarge the area of Qing control in Inner Asia: two against the Dzungars (1755–1757) and the "pacification" of Xinjiang (1758–1759). The other seven campaigns were more in the nature of police actions on frontiers already established: two wars to suppress the Gyalrong of Jinchuan, Sichuan, another to suppress the Taiwanese Aboriginals (1787–88), and four expeditions abroad against the Burmese (1765–1769), the Vietnamese (1788–1789), and the Gurkhas on the border between Tibet and Nepal (1790–1792), with the last counting as two. During the 4th Sino-Burmese Wars starting in 1768, Imperial China invaded the Kingdom of Burma. Burma hired European musketeers and gunners, hence Burma allied itself with the rising French Empire against Imperial China's invasion. Imperial China's imperialist conquest led to kinetic engagement with other powers. Look in the mirror.

In 1752, Kuwait became independent after an agreement between the Sheikh of Kuwait and the Emir of Bani Khalid in which Bani Khalid recognised Sabah I bin Jaber's independent rule over Kuwait and in exchange Kuwait would not ally itself or support the enemies of Bani Khalid or interfere in the internal affairs of Bani Khalid in any way. ------ Report: Saudi Arabia Presses U.S. on Overthrowing Saddam Hussein Date: January 19, 1992 From AP NEWS NEW YORK (AP) _ Saudi Arabia is pressuring the Bush administration to secretly arm and give intelligence to Iraqi opposition forces so they can work to overthrow Saddam Hussein, a newspaper reported Sunday.

Tripolitania had declared war against Sweden and the United States over disputes regarding tributary payments made by both states in exchange for a cessation of Tripolitatian commerce raiding at sea. United States President Thomas Jefferson refused to pay this tribute. Sweden had been at war with the Tripolitans since 1800. In March 1786, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams went to London to negotiate with Tripoli's envoy, ambassador Sidi Haji Abdrahaman (or Sidi Haji Abdul Rahman Adja). When they enquired "concerning the ground of the pretensions to make war upon nations who had done them no injury", the ambassador replied: It was written in their Koran, that all nations which had not acknowledged the Prophet were sinners, whom it was the right and duty of the faithful to plunder and enslave; and that every mussulman who was slain in this warfare was sure to go to paradise. He said, also, that the man who was the first to board a vessel had one slave over and above his share, and that when they sprang to the deck of an enemy's ship, every sailor held a dagger in each hand and a third in his mouth; which usually struck such terror into the foe that they cried out for quarter at once.[21] ------- The same garbage idealogy from the Mullas.

In turn, this reduced Ukrainian exports by 25 percent and shrank the economy by 1.5 percent. Ukraine Constitution 1991, Article 17, disallows foreign military bases after 2017. According to former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, Ukraine's constitution forbids the country from hosting foreign military bases after 2017. Yanukovych breached the Ukraine Constitution 1991, Article 17. After 2017, Ukraine's constitution is incompatible with foreign military bases hosting either NATO or CSTO. In 2018, President Petro Poroshenko's constitution amendment allowed temporary foreign military bases.

  6432.  @MVAT1000  >Russia promised no NATO expansion FALSE. Prove it >Ukraine promised protection The promise was to RESPECT Ukraine's borders. For Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum context, Russia, the US, and the UK confirmed their Ukraine becoming parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and effectively abandoning their nuclear arsenal to Russia and that they would: 1. Respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders. 2. Refrain from the threat or the use of force against Ukraine. 3. Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine to influence their politics. 4. Seek immediate Security Council action to provide assistance to Ukraine if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used". 5. Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against Ukraine. 6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments. China and France gave somewhat weaker individual assurances in separate documents. Russia has exited Budapest Memorandum. The US and UK are fulfilling points 4 and 6 in accordance with Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum. Budapest Memorandum's security assurances are weaker than NATO's Article V and EU's Article 42.7. There is no NATO Article V in Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum.

  6459. From 2016 Report on International Religious Freedom - Iceland (United States Department of State, 15 August 2017) Executive Summary The constitution provides for freedom of religious belief and practice, as long as it is not prejudicial to good morals or public order, and protects the right to form religious associations. It names the Evangelical Lutheran Church (ELC) as the state church, and the government provides it with financial support and benefits not available to other religious groups. Other religious and "life-stance" groups must register to receive state subsidies. The government approved the application of one life-stance group, DiaMat, but rejected the application of one religious group, the Rastafarians, and one life-stance group, Ananda Marga, citing among other reasons, that the groups were not "well-established." The Supreme Court upheld a ruling that school officials had illegally dismissed a grade school teacher after parents complained about the views he expressed against homosexuality, which he said were based on biblical teachings. An online poll on public attitudes toward the construction of houses of worship showed 42.1 percent of respondents opposed the erection of a mosque, while 28.5 percent opposed building a Russian Orthodox church, 20.6 percent were against building a Buddhist temple, and 12.1 percent against the construction of a pagan temple. The Forum for Interfaith Dialogue and Cooperation continued to sponsor programs to strengthen dialogue between religious groups and life-stance organizations. U.S. embassy officials regularly met with government representatives, who agreed on the importance of respecting religious freedom. Embassy officials also maintained regular contact with representatives of religious groups, including the ELC, the Association of Muslims in Iceland, and the Islamic Foundation of Iceland, to discuss religious freedom. Section II. Status of Government Respect for Religious Freedom Legal Framework The constitution states all individuals have the right to form religious associations and practice religion in accordance with their personal beliefs, as long as nothing is "preached or practiced which is prejudicial to good morals or public order." It stipulates everyone has the right to remain outside religious associations and no one shall be required to pay personal dues to any religious association of which he or she is not a member. The constitution also specifies individuals may not lose their civil or national rights or refuse to perform civic duties on religious grounds. The constitution bans only religious teachings or practices harmful to good morals or the public order. The law further specifies the right of individuals to choose or change their religion. The official state religion is Lutheranism. The constitution establishes the ELC as the national church and grants it state support and protection. The law grants the ELC official legal status, and the government directly funds the Church from the state budget. The ELC also receives indirect funding along with other registered religious and life-stance groups from church taxes. ------------- This is under the Trump administration.

France and China signed a watered-down Budapest Memorandum. Budapest Memorandum requires Ukraine to join Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty as part of Ukraine's nuclear WMD disarmament. Tucker is ignorant of Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum. Russia has exited Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum. If the US exits from Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum, then Ukraine has the right to develop its WMDs to defend itself against land-grabbing Russian imperialists. Russia does not maintain Ukraine's territorial integrity. Did you know Australia has similar security assurances like Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum and Australia does NOT have a NATO Article V level guarantee with the US? From 1950 to the 1960s, Australia detonated nuclear bombs as a joint partner with the UK. Australia has many Biolabs for agriculture, animal health, human health and 'etc'. Allowing Russian-proven WMDs while disallowing Ukraine's ability to defend itself is the height of hypocrisy.

CONSTITUTION OF UKRAINE Adopted at the Fifth Session of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on 28 June 1996 Article 17 The location of foreign military bases shall not be permitted on the territory of Ukraine. After 2017, Ukraine's constitution is incompatible with foreign military bases hosting either NATO or CSTO. Yanukovych breached the Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17. If Yanukovych didn't sign the military base rental extension, Russia would be kicked out of Crimea. Putin's narrative is false when Yanukovych breached the 1996 Ukraine Constitution's Article 17. Victoria Nuland's grandparents on her father's side are Ukrainian. You can't handle the truth when anti-Russian Ukrainian descendants are backed by NATO's military and economic firepower. 1. 1863–1864 January uprising, Russian Empire crushed Polish, Lithuanian, and Ukrainian insurgents uprising. 2. Soviet–Ukrainian War occurred between 1917 to 1921, a war between the Ukrainian People's Republic vs the Bolsheviks i.e. Ukrainian Soviet Republic and Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (modern-day Russian Federation). These "old world" issues existed before the US being a superpower. The US's involvement with Ukraine is by Ukrainian descendants who fled the Soviet–Ukrainian War that occurred in 1917.

Accordingly, Article 69 of the Constitution of the Ukrainian SSR stated: "The Ukrainian SSR retains the right to willfully secede from the USSR." Ukraine was one of the founding members of the United Nations when it joined in 1945 as the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. 😂 Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (Russian SFSR) also seceded from the USSR.

  6523.  @Czhr43jh6hyx  >Territory of Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia was purchased by Peter I from Sweden King Both Sweden and Russia are "old world" imperialist European powers. Estonia won the Estonian War of Independence against both Soviet Russia and the German Freikorps and Baltische Landeswehr volunteers. Independence was secured with the Tartu Peace Treaty, signed on 2 February 1920. ---- In 1558, Tsar Ivan the Terrible of Russia invaded Livonia, starting the Livonian War. The Livonian Order was decisively defeated in 1560, prompting Livonian factions to seek foreign protection. The majority of Livonia accepted Polish rule, while Reval and the nobles of Northern Estonia swore loyalty to the Swedish king, and the Bishop of Ösel-Wiek sold his lands to the Danish king. Russian forces gradually conquered the majority of Livonia, but in the late 1570s the Polish-Lithuanian and Swedish armies started their own offensives and the bloody war finally ended in 1583 with Russian defeat. As a result of the war, Northern Estonia became the Swedish Duchy of Estonia, Southern Estonia became the Polish Duchy of Livonia, and Saaremaa remained under Danish control. ----- These old-world issues existed before the US being a superpower. "Livonian factions to seek foreign protection from Poland" against Russia have evolved into Estonian factions seeking foreign protection from the USA against Russia. 😂🤣😅 The same old imperialist Russia.

  6537.  @Дмитрийоколов-ч8щ False, Crimea was Crimean Tatars before the Russians. Russia has land grabbed about 40% Donbas. Donetsk was a British mining city, founded by John James Hughes with a group of ironworkers and miners mostly from South Wales. Hughes personally provided a hospital, schools, bath houses, tea rooms, a fire brigade, and an Anglican church dedicated to the patron saints St George and St David. Over the years, although a Russian workforce was trained by the company, skilled workers from the United Kingdom continued to be employed, and many technical, engineering and managerial positions were filled by British immigrants; who were overwhelmingly Welsh. A thriving expatriate community was established, living in good quality company housing, and provided with an English school and an Anglican church. Despite the cold winters, hot summers and occasional cholera epidemics, some families remained in Hughesovka for many years. Over the next twenty years, the works prospered and expanded, first under John Hughes and then, after his death in 1889, under the management of four of his sons. The Bolshevik revolution of 1917 ended the Hughes family's connection to the works. The Hughes brothers and almost all their foreign employees returned to Britain or other countries. The works were nationalised by the Bolsheviks in 1919. Putin continues Grand Duchy of Moscow imperialism just like Imperial Russia and the Bolsheviks.

Patent number: US20100271253 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In some aspects, embodiments disclosed herein relate to a radar absorbing composite that includes a (CNT)-infused fiber material disposed in at least a portion of a matrix material. The composite is capable of absorbing radar in a frequency range from between about 0.10 Megahertz to about 60 Gigahertz. The CNT-infused fiber material forms a first layer that reduces radar reflectance and a second layer that dissipates the energy of the absorbed radar. Lockheed Martin reveals F-35 Lot 4 to feature nanocomposite structures via flightglobal's lockheed-martin-reveals-f-35-to-feature-nanocomposite-357223 Patent US20100271253 specifically mentions 2 Ghz L-Band problem with older radar absorbing material.

  6578.  @carlose6010  Placed under United States command, Brazilian troops (Portuguese: Força Expedicionária Brasileira, FEB) fought primarily in the liberation of Italy from September 1944 to May 1945. On July 2, 1944, the first 5,000 FEB soldiers, the 6th RCT, left Brazil for Europe aboard the USS General Mann, reaching Naples, Italy on July 16. Lacking weapons, equipment, and even an arrangement for barracks, they remained on the docks while waiting to join the U.S. Task Force 45 on the docks. The poor planning and subsequent embarrassment aroused controversy in Brazilian media. In late July, two more transports with Brazilian troops reached Italy, with three more following in September and November 1944, and February 1945. One notable unit deployed was Brazil's Mountain Infantry Battalion. Brazilian soldiers celebrate Brazilian Independence Day in Italy during World War II, September 1944. The FEB dedicated its first weeks in Italy to acquiring the proper equipment to fight on Italian terrain, and to training under American command.] The preparation in Brazil, despite the two years' interval since the declaration of war, had proved almost worthless. Among the veterans of that campaign, there was a consensus that only combat could adequately prepare the soldier, regardless of the quality of training received earlier. In August, the troops moved to Tarquinia, 350 km north of Naples, where Clark's army was based. In November, the FEB joined General Crittenberger's US IV Corps.

The Strategy promotes reciprocity, a level playing field and fair competition across all areas of co-operation The strategy also includes a trade agenda with a strong focus on improving market access opportunities – including negotiations on a Comprehensive Agreement on Investment.

Ukraine's manportable rocket tactics at the northern areas are less effective in the south due to different environments, hence why NATO is starting to send excess T-72 tanks to Ukraine at this time. 2. Australia is buying Naval Strike Missile for its frigates and destroyers. Naval Strike Missiles can be mounted mobile vehicles and smaller attack ships e.g. cheaper and mass produced offshore patrol vessels. Stealthy and longer range Naval Strike Missiles are replacing Harpoon missiles. 3. On Sep 2021, Australia announced that it would acquire long-range US Tomahawk cruise missiles. 4.

This order does not prohibit dealing in Kazakhstani crude oil of the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (“CPC”) because distribution systems such as those within the CPC can segregate various sources of crude oil, allowing crude oil that is not of Russian Federation origin to be marked and loaded separately. The import ban applies to the import of certain products of Russian Federation origin to the United States and excludes imports that are not of Russian Federation origin, even if such items transit through or depart from the Russian Federation.

  6640. Keeping the F-35 Ahead of the Bad Guys by John A. Tirpak March 2019 <snip...> Although the F-35 can carry the new Long-Range Anti-Ship Missile, or LRASM, externally, Winter said the principal new anti-ship missiles coming in Block 4 are the JSOW C1 for the Navy and the Norwegian JSM. The program has “not been asked” about whether the stealthy LRASM can fit inside the F-35’s weapon bays, he said, nor has the Navy asked to integrate the SLAM-ER (Standoff Land Attack Missile-Extended Range) version of the Harpoon anti-ship missile. <...> Last October, then-Defense Secretary Jim Mattis directed the Air Force to increase mission capable rates for the F-22, F-16, and F-35 to at least 80 percent. At the time, the F-35 rate was 54 percent overall, but for 3F aircraft recently off the production line, the rate was better than 80 percent. Winter agreed that spare parts are the “long pole in the tent” for getting the F-35 fleet up to the 80 percent standard. “We have initiatives underway to increase spare parts production,” he said, including accelerating the rate at which parts can be repaired by the F-35 depot at Hill AFB, Utah. This will allow industry to concentrate on making more new parts, rather than fixing older ones, he said. The Air Force has until Sept. 30 to achieve the 80 percent mission capable rate, assuming the order stands under Acting Defense Secretary Patrick M. Shanahan or his successor. <...> From airforcemag_com/MagazineArchive/Pages/2019/March%202019/Keeping-the-F-35-Ahead-of-the-Bad-Guys.aspx Replace _ with . for URL.

Refrain from economic coercion designed to subordinate to their own interest the exercise by the signatory of the rights inherent in its sovereignty and thus to secure advantages of any kind. 4. Seek immediate Security Council action to provide assistance to the signatory if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used". 5. Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against the signatory. 6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments. If US the wants to exit from security agreements, it should allow ex-signatories to be armed with their nuclear weapons.

  6670.  @Hacking-NASSA-with-HTML  False. The Ten Great Campaigns (Chinese: 十全武功; pinyin: Shíquán Wǔgōng) were a series of military campaigns launched by the Qing dynasty of China in the mid–late 18th century during the reign of the Qianlong Emperor (r. 1735–1796). They included three to enlarge the area of Qing control in Inner Asia: two against the Dzungars (1755–1757) and the "pacification" of Xinjiang (1758–1759). The other seven campaigns were more in the nature of police actions on frontiers already established: two wars to suppress the Gyalrong of Jinchuan, Sichuan, another to suppress the Taiwanese Aboriginals (1787–88), and four expeditions abroad against the Burmese (1765–1769), the Vietnamese (1788–1789), and the Gurkhas on the border between Tibet and Nepal (1790–1792), with the last counting as two. President Xi's argument is based on historical Imperial China's Ten Great Campaigns (Chinese: 十全武功; pinyin: Shíquán Wǔgōng).

CONSTITUTION OF UKRAINE Adopted at the Fifth Session of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on 28 June 1996 Article 17 The location of foreign military bases shall not be permitted on the territory of Ukraine. Yanukovych breached the Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17. After 2017, Ukraine's constitution is incompatible with foreign military bases hosting either NATO or CSTO. If Yanukovych didn't sign the military base rental extension, Russia would be kicked out of Crimea. Putin's narrative is FALSE. Putin's pressure caused Yanukovych to make a mistake.

Katherine Tai served in the office of the US Trade Representative during the Obama administration. Tai has a record of successful prosecutions of Chinese trade practices at the World Trade Organisation and a history of being able to organise America's allies in support of those actions She has been credited with creating the coalition of countries that challenged China's restrictions on exports of rare earths in 2012. Rare earths are a commodity that China dominates and one vital to production of smartphones, electric vehicles, aircraft, military equipment and other 21st century technologies. Tai was able to convince 18 other countries to join the suit against China – including Australia – which eventually ended with China removing the export quotas in 2015. Tai, like Biden and unlike Trump and his trade representative, Robert Lighthizer, is a multilateralist who will seek to enlist allies, and revive multilateral institutions, to prosecute America's trade policies . Biden has said the Trump tariffs on China's exports will remain, at least initially, but Tai is expected to try to create a partnership of western economies and to use the WTO to try to change the way China does business with the rest of the world -----------------

  6714.  @fuckfannyfiddlefart  Marxists claim Marxist Socialism is the overthrow of the state for communally owned control of the means of production. This is bullshit when implementation involves a state with massive government intervention. For post-WW2 Japan, MacArthur also executed land reform by shifting significant wealthy landlord's lands to the workers with private land title transfers. MacArthur = land reform transfers that included private land title transfers to the workers. From http://www.crosscurrents.hawaii.edu/content.aspx?lang=eng&site=japan&theme=work&subtheme=AGRIC&unit=JWORK098# Land Reform in Postwar Japan As part of the democratization of Japan after World War II, Japanese leaders and Occupation authorities worked together to carry out land reform. It is regarded as one of the most successful of the Occupation-era reforms, and has become the model for land reform in other countries. The purpose of land reform was to reduce the wide gap between absentee landlords who owned agricultural land but did not farm it themselves, and tenant farmers who rented the land in exchange for giving the landlord a high proportion of the crop. The land reform laws were intended to limit the amount of farmland one household could own to about the amount of land that one family could farm themselves, without outside labor. The government forced absentee landlords to sell all their land to the government. Farmers were allowed to own a small amount of farmland that they could rent out to others ( 2.5 acres or one hectare in most parts of Japan, and 10 acres or 4 hectares in Hokkaido), and had to sell any excess to the government. The government then sold this land, usually to the tenant who had been farming it. The result greatly improved the living conditions of farmers. Idealogical basis: A family's land ownership. The West has its own idealogy on land reform with family unit and private ownership as its core idealogy. VS Marxist = land reform transfer to the state, no private land title transfer to the workers.

  6718.  @brucetucker4847  Kublai instituted social classes based on race. https://www.travelchinaguide.com/intro/history/yuan/four-class-system.htm The 'Four Class System' was a legal caste system in the Yuan Dynasty. After the founding of the Yuan regime, Kublai Khan, the first emperor in the Yuan Dynasty, set up this system to consolidate the ruling status of the Mongolian Ethnic Minority, which had a small number with great disparity to the majority Han people. Specifically, the four classes of people by the descending order were Mongolian people, Semu people, Han people (in the northern areas of China) and Southerners (people of the former Northern Song Dynasty (1127 - 1279)). According to the Yuan rulers' mind, the grading sequence was based on the sequencing of Mongolian's conquest of these people. Some historical scholars said that it was a kind of psychological indication that the earlier they submitted to Mongolian people, the higher social status they would be. Unfairly, the 'Four Class System' stipulated that four classes of people received different treatment in political, legal and military affairs. First, the real power was mainly grasped in the hands of the Mongolian people and Semu people while few of the court officials were Han people or any other ethnic minorities from the third and the fourth classes. Second, although all classes of people were allowed to attend the imperial examination, people of the third and fourth classes had to participate in more test subjects and exam questions that for them were more difficult, compared with the first and second class. Third, the fourth class people received unequal legal treatment. On committing the same crime, different punishments were handed down to different classes of people. Fourth, the Mongolian people adopted a tight control towards the Han people and Southerners. These two classes were forbidden to possess any weapon or raise any dogs or eagles. Generally, the 'Four Class System' was a national policy of political oppression and ethnic division. Originally, it was established by Yuan's ruling class to guarantee the dominance of the Mongolian minority but it eventually became the catalyst that sped up the decline of the Yuan regime.

  6723.  @tomogburn2462  From independent.co.uk/news/long_reads/nhs-70-formed-florence-nightingale-century-free-healthcare-a8429346.html Finally, Sir Winston Churchill, speaking as prime minister in the spring of 1944, affirmed that it was the policy of the government to establish a national health service that would make accessible to all, irrespective of social class or means, adequate and modern social care. The high and rising cost of medical care was the key consideration. Healthcare shouldn’t be rationed by price. As we celebrate the 70th anniversary of the NHS, that is the key achievement. By contrast, this gruesome story has just arrived from across the Atlantic. A tweet from the New York subway system describes “an awful scene”. A woman’s leg got stuck in the gap between the train and the platform. It was twisted and bloody. Skin came off. She’s in agony and weeping. Just as upsetting she begged no one call an ambulance. “It’s $3,000,” she wailed. “I can’t afford that.” That’s why we have the National Health Service. -------- The missing component for Australia, United Kingdom, Canada, and New Zealand is the economy of scale, hence why I support the CANZUK initiative and the alternative to the USA's crony capitalism.

  6729.  @personaa422  In Australia, we have the following government programs for the poor or below a certain income threshold 1. "Work for the dole" i.e. universal income with community service obligations. Students have universal income from Austudy while 1st nation students have Abstudy which is slightly higher than Austudy. 2. Nanny state-issued debit card that looks like a normal debit card that blocks non-essential items purchases. Nanny state-issued debit cards are issued for cases that a person can't control their non-essential purchases. Australia doesn't believe in US-style food vouchers that can destroy a person's self-esteem i.e. creating extra mental health problems from US-style food vouchers are minimised. Creating extra mental health problems adds an extra burden on the public health system. 3. The single-payer universal health care and subsidised medicines for all Australians. There's an extra income tax penalty above a certain income threshold i.e. they should be on the private health system. Subsidised medicines include patent reform to reduce the public health cost burden. Single-payer lowers overhead cost on the public health system. 4. Free (for government-supported persons) and low-cost technical colleges with a national enforced qualification framework i.e. equality in the education framework. 5. Public housing or rent cost assistance. 6. Promotion of healthy food programs to reduce the public health cost burden. These are life support government program areas and I mostly support the mentioned government programs in moderation. Not every child is blessed with wealthy parents. There are additional welfare programs that I haven't mentioned. 1st nation students Abstudy which has slightly higher benefits than Austudy does not pass the race neutrality test. New Zealand has similar government programs to Australia. I'm not fully aware of UK's and Canada's versions, but there are universal health care agreements across Australia, NZ, and the UK.

Hilter's National Socialist argues for shifting means of production control from private ownership to a particular racial group i.e. "Aryan race". Nazi has state-sponsored mass stolen assets from "non-Aryan race" e.g. Jews, Slavs, Jehovah Witness and 'etc'. Hilter's National Socialist's argument is not even a Nationalist assimilation argument. There's a difference between Hilter's National Socialist's "Aryan" racial control bias arguments vs Nationalist assimilation. Imperial Japan has it's own "racial" ideology i.e. "Yamato race" is being superior to the Chinese race or any other Asians. I dislike the left's balkanization identity politics and I do support assimilation for national unity.

  6750.  @inurmomsbedroom123  Bengal famine of 1943 Throughout 1942 and early 1943, military and political events combined with natural disasters and plant disease to place widespread stress on Bengal's economy.[71] While Bengal's food needs rose from increased military presence and an influx of refugees from Burma,[72] its ability to obtain rice and other grains was restricted by inter-provincial trade barriers.[73] Japanese invasion of Burma The Japanese campaign for Burma set off an exodus of more than half of the one million Indians from Burma for India.[74] The flow began after the bombing of Rangoon (1941–1942), and for months thereafter desperate people poured across the borders, escaping into India through Bengal and Assam.[75] On 26 April 1942, all Allied forces were ordered to retreat from Burma into India.[76] Military transport and other supplies were dedicated to military use, and unavailable for use by the refugees.[77] By mid May 1942, the monsoon rains became heavy in the Manipur hills, further inhibiting civilian movement.[78] By April 1942, *Japanese warships and aircraft had sunk approximately 100,000 tons of merchant shipping in the Bay of Bengal*. [83] According to General Archibald Wavell, Commander-in-Chief of the army in India, both the War Office in London and the commander of the British Eastern Fleet acknowledged that the fleet was powerless to mount serious opposition to Japanese naval attacks on Ceylon, southern or eastern India, or on shipping in the Bay of Bengal.[83] For decades, rail transport had been integral to successful efforts by the Raj to forestall famine in India.[84] However, Japanese raids put additional strain on railways, which also endured flooding in the Brahmaputra, a malaria epidemic, and the Quit India movement targeting road and rail communication.[85] Throughout, transportation of civil supplies were compromised by the railways' increased military obligations, and the dismantling of tracks carried out in areas of eastern Bengal in 1942 to hamper a potential Japanese invasion.[86] ------ Try again. Again, The Spectator labeled British Labor's John McDonnell'sand Owen Jones' narrative as FAKE NEWS.

  6751.  @aayushraj6171  Provincial trade barriers Many Indian provinces and princely states imposed inter-provincial trade barriers from mid-1942, preventing trade in domestic rice. Anxiety and soaring rice prices, triggered by the fall of Burma,[131] were one underlying reason for the trade barriers. Trade imbalances brought on by price controls were another.[92] The power to restrict inter-provincial trade was given provincial governments in November 1941 under the Defence of India Act, 1939.[M] Provincial governments began erecting trade barriers that prevented the flow of foodgrains (especially rice) and other goods between provinces. These barriers reflected a desire to see that local populations were well fed, thus forestalling local emergencies.[132] In January 1942, Punjab banned exports of wheat;[133][N] this increased the perception of food insecurity and led the enclave of wheat-eaters in Greater Calcutta to increase their demand for rice precisely when an impending rice shortage was feared.[134] The Central Provinces prohibited the export of foodgrains outside the province two months later.[135] Madras banned rice exports in June,[136] followed by export bans in Bengal and its neighbouring provinces of Bihar and Orissa that July.[137] The Famine Inquiry Commission of 1945 characterised this "critical and potentially most dangerous stage" as a key policy failure. As one deponent to the Commission put it: "Every province, every district, every [administrative division] in the east of India had become a food republic unto itself. The trade machinery for the distribution of food [between provinces] throughout the east of India was slowly strangled, and by the spring of 1943 was dead."[138] Bengal was unable to import domestic rice; this policy helped transform market failures and food shortage into famine and widespread death.[139] You shutup fukwit.

  6753.  @inurmomsbedroom123  >I instead used my eyes You're blind. From The Guardian In late 1943, thought to be the peak of the famine, rain levels were above average, said the study published in February in the journal Geophysical Research Letters. “This was a unique famine, caused by policy failure instead of any monsoon failure,” said Vimal Mishra, the lead researcher and an associate professor at the Indian Institute of Technology, Gandhinagar. Food supplies to Bengal were reduced in the years preceding 1943 by natural disasters, outbreaks of infections in crops and the fall of Burma – now Myanmar – which was a major source of rice imports, into Japanese hands. Using your brain helps too. The leftist The Guardian didn't support British Labor's far-left John McDonnell's and Owen Jones' narrative.

  6764.  @tnickknight  Tesla China has posted a correction to recent reports alleging that Gigafactory Shanghai’s production would be shut down from January 20-31, 2023. Yesterday, Reuters published a report claiming that Tesla China would be reducing Giga Shanghai’s output next month. The publication claimed that the China-based electric vehicle manufacturing plant would only be active for 17 days since production would be paused from January 20-31. Reuters cited an internal schedule as the source of its information. According to Tesla China, the dates outlined in the recent reports were inaccurate, as Giga Shanghai’s workers would only be getting an extra day off before and after the Chinese New Year. For context, the Chinese New Year for 2023 will fall on January 22, a Sunday, so workers would typically get January 21-27 off. “The rumored information about Tesla’s holiday is not accurate. In fact, most of the employees at the Shanghai Gigafactory will be on holiday from January 20-28, which will be one day longer than the statutory holiday before and after, allowing everyone to flexibly arrange their homecoming time. ---- Reuters published FAKE NEWS.

  6783.  Phon Seng  >its media and mainly the western media liek BBC england and CNN american is lying and pushign lies to start wars That's a false narrative that doesn't address the root cause for Ukraine vs Russian conflict. Date: Jan. 7, 2010 Yanukovych: Ukraine will remain a neutral state. "It’s certain that Ukraine was and will be non-aligned state… We strive neither to join NATO nor the [CIS]CSTO [Collective Security Treaty Organization]. We’ll maintain a neutral status," Yanukovych said in an interview with the Komsomolskaya Pravda in Ukraine newspaper. -------- The trigger for Euromaidan was Yanukovych initiated non-neutrality policies such as joining a trade block instead of executing Switzerland-style neutrality. UK leaving the EU and joining CPTPP proves freedom of association. Before Euromaidan, Russia, however, has successfully used political and economic leverage to dissuade Ukraine from signing the E.U. deal. In the months prior to the Vilnius summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin engaged in a trade war with Kiev, blocking nearly all imports from Ukraine and cutting energy supplies to the country. In turn, this reduced Ukrainian exports by 25 percent and shrank the economy by 1.5 percent. Some trade background for the context From Tradebarrier Index (lower score = less trade barriers) New Zealand's tariff score is 2.92 Australia's tariff score is 3.03 UK's tariff score is 3.94 (after Brexit) Japan's tariff score is 4.05 US's tariff score is 4.54 Germany's tariff score is 4.88 EU's tariff score is 4.88 Russia's tariff score is 6.16 <-------- China's tariff score is 6.8 <------ Russia wants to maintain its higher trade protectionist policies. Ukraine joining the EU's FTA creates a loophole in Russia's higher tariff protectionist policies. Complication, IF Russia blocks trade with Ukraine, it then blocks trade with pro-Russian Donbas and Luhansk. On a related trade topic, the CPTPP zone has very a strong policy on the product's origin and Swizterland is having problems with it. The "Made In" label should be expanded with percentage.

Respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders. 2. Refrain from the threat or the use of force against Ukraine. 3. Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine to influence their politics. 4. Seek immediate Security Council action to provide assistance to Ukraine if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used". 5. Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against Ukraine. 6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments. China and France gave somewhat weaker individual assurances in separate documents. US and UK are fulfilling points 4 and 6 in accordance with Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum. Budapest Memorandum's security assurances are weaker than NATO's Article V and EU's Article 42.7. Are you arguing for the UK to abandon the Budapest Memorandum? Try again.

  6785.  @superbananas7792  >Correction a middle class coup created the USSR.....that crushed an actual workers social revolution. Notice the "so-called" pre-fix. From Cambridge dictionary used to show that you think a word that is used to describe someone or something is not suitable or not correct: Learn proper English. For post-WW2 Japan, MacArthur also executed land reform by shifting significant wealthy landlord's lands to the workers with private land title transfers. Land Reform in Postwar Japan As part of the democratization of Japan after World War II, Japanese leaders and Occupation authorities worked together to carry out land reform. It is regarded as one of the most successful of the Occupation-era reforms, and has become the model for land reform in other countries. The purpose of land reform was to reduce the wide gap between absentee landlords who owned agricultural land but did not farm it themselves, and tenant farmers who rented the land in exchange for giving the landlord a high proportion of the crop. The land reform laws were intended to limit the amount of farm land one household could own to about the amount of land that one family could farm themselves, without outside labor. The government forced absentee landlords to sell all their land to the government. Farmers were allowed to own a small amount of farm land that they could rent out to others ( 2.5 acres or one hectare in most parts of Japan, and 10 acres or 4 hectares in Hokkaido), and had to sell any excess to the government. The government then sold this land, usually to the tenant who had been farming it. The result greatly improved the living conditions of farmers. Idealogical basis: A family's land ownership. The West has its own idealogy on land reform with family unit and private ownership as its core idealogy. VS Marxist = land reform transfer to the state, no private land title transfer to the workers.

Marxist Salvador Allende clashed with the right-wing parties that controlled Congress and with the judiciary. On 11 September 1973, the military moved to oust Allende in a coup d'état. Marxist Salvador Allende's presidential branch effectively declared war on the judiciary and right-wing majority governed Congress branches. During the 1970 Chilean presidential election, both the United States and the Soviet Union poured money into this election through their intelligence agencies and other sources. 💰KGB money was more precisely targeted. Allende made a personal request for Soviet money through his personal contact, KGB officer Svyatoslav Kuznetsov, who urgently came to Chile from Mexico City to help Allende. The original allocation of money for these elections through the KGB was $400,000, and an additional personal subsidy of $50,000 directly to Allende.[8] It is believed that help from KGB was a decisive factor, because Allende won by a narrow margin of 39,000 votes of a total of the 3 million cast. After the elections, the KGB director Yuri Andropov obtained permission for additional money and other resources from the Central Committee of the CPSU to ensure Allende victory in Congress. In his request on 24 October, he stated that KGB "will carry out measures designed to promote the consolidation of Allende's victory and his election to the post of President of the country". In your argument's summary, the USSR-supported regime change intervention is okay while the US intervention is bad. Your argument is hypocritical.

No Australian private or government own companies can match SpaceX's and Tesla's mass-production capabilities. No Australian private or government own companies can launch an orbital-class rocket with a satellite. The Australian government spends more on "the arts" and sports than on aerospace rocket tech.

  6816. Not all Nordstream pipelines were blown up. Both NS1 and NS2 actually consist of 2 pipelines. After the explosions, one of the NS2 pipes remained functional - technically speaking, because it didn't get approval from Germany. As for Russia's motive to destroy the pipeline: Russia stopped supplying gas via NS due to political reasons (Putin's decision). And Russia was sued for this breach of contracts. Blowing up NordStream can be a way to avoid paying huge fines.

  6844. The main cause for western European colonial powers (e.g. Spain's Christopher Columbus, 1492) heading towards the west is to find new maritime routes with East Asia that avoids the Islamic Ottoman Empire. Spain kicks out the Islamic Umayyad caliphate starting from 722 to 1492. Spain's fight against Umayyad caliphate resulted in the creation of a powerful Spainish army and navy. As the rise of the powerful Spanish navy, the rise of the US Navy (i.e. Department of the Navy), and infamous freedom of navigation foreign policy was due to its fight against Islamic Ottoman Empire's North African states in the 1801 Barbary Wars. Ottoman Empire's North African states committed piracy against the US martime trade which resulted in the 1801 Barbary Wars. The U.S win against Ottoman Empire's North African states in the second Barbary Wars 1815 opened up North Africa to other European powers i.e. Scramble for Africa starting around 1840.

  6845.  @Twentycent911  The Barbary slave trade refers to slave markets on the Barbary Coast of North Africa, which included the Ottoman provinces of Algeria, Tunisia and Tripolitania and the independent sultanate of Morocco, between the 16th and middle of the 18th century. European slaves were acquired by Barbary pirates in slave raids on ships and by raids on coastal towns from Italy to the Netherlands, Ireland and the southwest of Britain, as far north as Iceland and into the eastern Mediterranean. The Ottoman eastern Mediterranean was the scene of intense piracy. As late as the 18th century, piracy continued to be a "consistent threat to maritime traffic in the Aegean". The Barbary slave trade declined after Sweden and the United States defeated the Ottoman Empire's Barbary states in the 1st Barbary Wars (1800-1815) and Second Barbary War (1815). Scramble for Africa occurred in 1884. Europe's religious impact on the upper half of Africa is minor when compared to Islamic caliphates which displaced Roman Empire's north Africa. French rule in the Algeria region began in 1830 which is after the Second Barbary War (1815). Ottoman Empire captured Algiers in 1516.

  6851.  @valeriecarlin1524  From a Ukrainian presentation at a 2011 conference, organized by the U.S. State Department’s Biosecurity Engagement Program: What high-containment biological (high BSL) laboratories exist in your country? What are the facilities’ main goals and priorities? There are over 4,000 registered microbiological laboratories in Ukraine, but only 2 of them have a permit to work with microorganisms of the first pathogenic group, 402 laboratories have a permit to work with the microorganisms of the second pathogenic group, and all others are allowed to work only with microorganisms of the third and forth pathogenic groups. Here it is necessary to note that the classification of pathogenic organisms and therefore classification of the laboratories in Ukraine differs from the international one. It is inverted (i.e., in Ukraine “one” is the highest risk and “four” is the lowest risk) and also has some additional differences. . . . According to the available data, there are no laboratories in Ukraine that fulfill BSL-4 requirements. One of the laboratories that has a permit to work with the microorganisms of the first pathogenic group did, however, recently undergo an international audit as a BSL-3 laboratory and received a preliminary positive evaluation. ----- BSL-4 example is the Wuhan lab.

March 1, 2014, the Federation Council of the Russian Federation unanimously adopted a resolution to petition Russian President Vladimir Putin to use military force in Ukraine. Ukrainian People's Republic is the modern-day Ukraine. These "old world" issues have existed before the US being a superpower.

  6854.  @NoumenonAndPhenomenon  Biolabs are rated into biosafety level (BSL), or pathogen/protection level. Biosafety level 1 Biosafety level 1 (BSL-1) is suitable for work with well-characterized agents which do not cause disease in healthy humans. In general, these agents should pose minimal potential hazard to laboratory personnel and the environment.[11] At this level, precautions are limited relative to other levels. Laboratory personnel must wash their hands upon entering and exiting the lab. Research with these agents may be performed on standard open laboratory benches without the use of special containment equipment. However, eating and drinking are generally prohibited in laboratory areas.[11] Potentially infectious material must be decontaminated before disposal, either by adding a chemical such as bleach or isopropanol or by packaging for decontamination elsewhere.[11] Personal protective equipment is only required for circumstances where personnel might be exposed to hazardous material.[11] BSL-1 laboratories must have a door which can be locked to limit access to the lab. However, it is not necessary for BSL-1 labs to be isolated from the general building.[12] This level of biosafety is appropriate for work with several kinds of microorganisms including non-pathogenic strains of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus, Bacillus subtilis, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and other organisms not suspected to contribute to human disease.[13] Due to the relative ease and safety of maintaining a BSL-1 laboratory, these are the types of laboratories generally used as teaching spaces for high schools and colleges.[12] Biosafety level 2 At this level, all precautions used at Biosafety Level 1 are followed, and some additional precautions are taken. BSL-2 differs from BSL-1 in that: Laboratory personnel have specific training in handling pathogenic agents and are directed by scientists with advanced training. Access to the laboratory is limited when work is being conducted. Extreme precautions are taken with contaminated sharp items. Certain procedures in which infectious aerosols or splashes may be created are conducted in biological safety cabinets or other physical containment equipment.[11] Biosafety level 2 is suitable for work involving agents of moderate potential hazard to personnel and the environment.[12] This includes various microbes that cause mild disease to humans, or are difficult to contract via aerosol in a lab setting.[14] Examples include hepatitis A, B, and C viruses, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), pathogenic strains of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus, Salmonella, Plasmodium falciparum, and Toxoplasma gondii.[14][15] Prions, the infectious agents that transmit prion diseases such as vCJD, may be handled under Biosafety Level 2 or higher.[16] Biosafety level 3 Researcher at US Centers for Disease Control, Atlanta, Georgia, working with influenza virus under biosafety level 3 conditions, with respirator inside a biosafety cabinet (BSC). Biosafety level 3 is appropriate for work involving microbes which can cause serious and potentially lethal disease via the inhalation route.[11] This type of work can be done in clinical, diagnostic, teaching, research, or production facilities.[12] Here, the precautions undertaken in BSL-1 and BSL-2 labs are followed, as well as additional measures including: All laboratory personnel are provided medical surveillance and offered relevant immunizations (where available) to reduce the risk of an accidental or unnoticed infection.[11] All procedures involving infectious material must be done within a biological safety cabinet.[11] Laboratory personnel must wear solid-front protective clothing (i.e. gowns that tie in the back). This cannot be worn outside of the laboratory and must be discarded or decontaminated after each use.[11] A laboratory-specific biosafety manual must be drafted which details how the laboratory will operate in compliance with all safety requirements.[11] In addition, the facility which houses the BSL-3 laboratory must have certain features to ensure appropriate containment. The entrance to the laboratory must be separated from areas of the building with unrestricted traffic flow.[11] Additionally, the laboratory must be behind two sets of self-closing doors (to reduce the risk of aerosols escaping).[12] The construction of the laboratory is such that it can be easily cleaned. Carpets are not permitted, and any seams in the floors, walls, and ceilings are sealed to allow for easy cleaning and decontamination.[11] Additionally, windows must be sealed, and a ventilation system installed which forces air to flow from the "clean" areas of the lab to the areas where infectious agents are handled.[11] Air from the laboratory must be filtered before it can be recirculated.[11] A 2015 study by USA Today journalists identified more than 200 lab sites in the U.S. that were accredited biosafety levels 3 or 4.[17] The Proceedings of a Workshop on "Developing Norms for the Provision of Biological Laboratories in Low-Resource Contexts" provides a list of BSL-3 laboratories in those countries.[18] Biosafety level 3 is commonly used for research and diagnostic work involving various microbes which can be transmitted by aerosols and/or cause severe disease. These include Francisella tularensis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Chlamydia psittaci, Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus, Eastern equine encephalitis virus, SARS-CoV-1, MERS-CoV, Coxiella burnetii, Rift Valley fever virus, Rickettsia rickettsii, several species of Brucella, chikungunya, yellow fever virus, West Nile virus, Yersinia pestis,[15] and SARS-CoV-2.[19] Biosafety level 4 See also: List of biosafety level 4 organisms CDC technician dons an older-model positive-pressure suit before entering one of the CDC's earlier BSL-4 labs. Biosafety level 4 (BSL-4) is the highest level of biosafety precautions, and is appropriate for work with agents that could easily be aerosol-transmitted within the laboratory and cause severe to fatal disease in humans for which there are no available vaccines or treatments. BSL-4 laboratories are generally set up to be either cabinet laboratories or protective-suit laboratories. In cabinet laboratories, all work must be done within a class III biosafety cabinet. Materials leaving the cabinet must be decontaminated by passing through an autoclave or a tank of disinfectant. The cabinets themselves are required to have seamless edges to allow for easy cleaning. Additionally the cabinet and all materials within must be free of sharp edges in order to reduce the risk of damage to the gloves. In a protective-suit laboratory, all work must be done in a class II biosafety cabinet by personnel wearing a positive pressure suit. In order to exit the BSL-4 laboratory, personnel must pass through a chemical shower for decontamination, then a room for removing the positive-pressure suit, followed by a personal shower. Entry into the BSL-4 laboratory is restricted to trained and authorized individuals, and all persons entering and exiting the laboratory must be recorded.[11] As with BSL-3 laboratories, BSL-4 laboratories must be separated from areas that receive unrestricted traffic. Additionally airflow is tightly controlled to ensure that air always flows from "clean" areas of the lab to areas where work with infectious agents is being performed. The entrance to the BSL-4 lab must also employ airlocks to minimize the possibility that aerosols from the lab could be removed from the lab. All laboratory waste, including filtered air, water, and trash must also be decontaminated before it can leave the facility.[11] Biosafety level 4 laboratories are used for diagnostic work and research on easily transmitted pathogens which can cause fatal disease. These include a number of viruses known to cause viral hemorrhagic fever such as Marburg virus, Ebola virus, Lassa virus, and Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever. Other pathogens handled at BSL-4 include Hendra virus, Nipah virus, and some flaviviruses. Additionally, poorly characterized pathogens which appear closely related to dangerous pathogens are often handled at this level until sufficient data are obtained either to confirm continued work at this level, or to permit working with them at a lower level.[15] This level is also used for work with Variola virus, the causative agent of smallpox, though this work is only performed at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, United States, and the State Research Center of Virology and Biotechnology in Koltsovo, Russia.[20]

The main articles of Russian draft proposed agreement demand included eight articles with the following points: Article 1: the parties should not strengthen their security at the expense of Russia’s security; Article 2: the parties will use multilateral consultations and the NATO-Russia Council to address points of conflict; Article 3: the parties reaffirm that they do not consider each other as adversaries and maintain a dialogue; Article 4: the parties shall not deploy military forces and weaponry on the territory of any of the other states in Europe in addition to any forces that were deployed as of May 27, 1997; Article 5: the parties shall not deploy land-based intermediate- and short-range missiles adjacent to the other parties; Article 6: all member States of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization commit themselves to refrain from any further enlargement of NATO, including the accession of Ukraine as well as other States; Article 7: the parties that are member States of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization shall not conduct any military activity on the territory of Ukraine as well as other States in the Eastern Europe, in the South Caucasus and in Central Asia; and Article 8: the agreement shall not be interpreted as affecting the primary responsibility of the Security Council of the United Nations for maintaining international peace and security. ---------------- For Article 1, Israel sells missile technology to Eastern Europe while Russia sells missile technology to Israel's adversaries. For Article 3, Being labeled adversaries are based on action and behaviors. Finland, Poland, and the Baltic states have purchased Israeli missile technology and have historical PTSD issues with Imperialist Russia. There are no US nuclear-armed missiles in Eastern Europe. For Article 4, Russia's demand to degrade NATO's Article V enforcement. For Article 5, Israel sells missile technology to Eastern Europe while Russia sells missile technology to Israel's adversaries. There are no US nuclear-armed missiles in Eastern Europe. Finland is not a NATO member. For Article 6, Russia demands to restrict counties in Eastern Europe's freedom of association.

In the months prior to the Vilnius summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin engaged in a trade war with Kiev, blocking nearly all imports from Ukraine and cutting energy supplies to the country. In turn, this reduced Ukrainian exports by 25 percent and shrank the economy by 1.5 percent. Russia started a series of events that lead to Euromaidan ------ Soviets supplied MiG 17 and MiG 21 to North Vietnam. Soviets supplied MiG 15 to North Korea. In 2009, Venezuela buys S300 missiles with Russian loan while Putin complains about NATO's 2018 Aegis Ashore in Poland In 2018, Venezuela buys SU-30 fighter jets from Russia.

Note the existence of independent nuclear weapons from US allies such as the UK, France, and Israel. The trigger is the 1956 Suez Canal crisis when the Soviets have threaten to nuke Britain, France, and Israel without US nuclear weapons coverage. ANSTO (Australia's Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation) centrifuge nuclear material enrichment technology was defunded by Bob Hawke / Paul Keating's Labor government in the mid-1980s. 2. Australia did not sign the Budapest Memorandum. 3. Reminder, Russia already risked world peace by stationing their warships just outside non-NATO member Australia's EEZ during the 2014 G20 meeting. Unlike the Black Sea with NATO defense treaty allies, Russia has no defense treaty allies around Australia. In 2022, Russia did a similar activity near non-NATO member Ireland's waters. Russia was meddling in Australia's Antarctica interest that caused Australia to enlist EU support.

The purpose is for NATO interoperability training, logistics, administrative, and liaison office for German troops deployed in the US. There are 1000 German troops in the US. Other NATO members have deployed troops on other mainland US bases e.g. Dutch pilots are located on Morris Air National Guard base in Arizona, now utilize Luke Air Force Base. UK's RAF pilots are located at Edwards Air Force Base in California. British forces also located California's Camp Roberts and Fort Hunter Liggett. Singaporean airmen are stationed at Idaho's Mountain Home Air Force Base. NATO Article V is less effective without interoperability training. If Russia attacks Germany, there's a high chance that US troops will be injured or killed and it's Lusitania trigger. Both sides have their trip wire if other foreign powers attack a NATO member.

Tucker is ignorant of Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum.

  6937. The main reason why the Hamas paragliders avoided getting shot down is that Israel likely couldn’t detect them, said retired Marine Col. J.D. Williams, a defense policy researcher with the RAND Corporation. “The paragliders would probably have flown very low — popping up to go over the border fencing and then flying low to the ground — staying under the radar coverage of Israeli air and missile defenses,” Williams told Task & Purpose on Thursday. “In addition, those air and missile defenses, primarily the Iron Dome system, are optimized to detect fast-moving, high trajectory weapons — missiles and rockets — and are not tuned to pick up low-flying, slow-moving objects like paragliders.” Although counter-drone systems could engage paragliders, it is unclear how widely Israel deployed such systems before the Oct. 7 attacks or if they were positioned to stop incursions from Gaza, Williams said. Even if counter-drone systems were in the area where Hamas launched its paraglider attacks, they still would have had the same challenges in detecting low-flying paragliders as other air and missile systems, he said. --- The U.S. military has had its own difficulties detecting slow-moving aerial objects and distinguishing threats from harmless balloons. Following the Feb. 4 shoot-down of a Chinese spy balloon off the coast of South Carolina, the head of U.S. Northern Command and North American Aerospace Defense Command acknowledged that U.S. air defense systems had missed previous spy balloons that had flown over the country. “It’s my responsibility to detect threats to North America,” Air Force Gen. Glen VanHerck said at a Feb. 6 Pentagon news conference. “I will tell you that we did not detect those threats. And that’s a domain awareness gap that we have to figure out. But I don’t want to go in further detail.” After the U.S. military recalibrated its radar and other sensors to look for small objects at high altitudes traveling at slow speeds, Air Force fighters shot down three unidentified aerial objects on Feb. 10, 11, and 12 over U.S. and Canadian airspace. President Joe Biden later said the objects were likely balloons being used for scientific research or owned by private companies and hobbyists.

The worker's settlement at the plant merged with Aleksandrovka and the place was named Yuzovo, later Yuzovka, after Hughes. In its early period, it received immigrants from Wales, especially from the town of Merthyr Tydfil. By the beginning of the 20th century, Yuzovka had approximately 50,000 inhabitants and attained the status of a city in 1917. The main district of Yuzovka is named English Colony, and the British origin of the city is reflected in its layout and architecture.

For Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum context, Russia, the US, and the UK confirmed their Ukraine becoming parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and effectively abandoning their nuclear arsenal to Russia and that they would: 1. Respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders. 2. Refrain from the threat or the use of force against Ukraine. 3. Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine to influence their politics. 4. Seek immediate Security Council action to provide assistance to Ukraine if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used". 5. Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against Ukraine. 6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments. China and France gave somewhat weaker individual assurances in separate documents. Russia has exited Budapest Memorandum by grabbing land territory from Ukraine. The US and UK are fulfilling points 4 and 6 in accordance with Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum. Budapest Memorandum's security assurances are weaker than NATO's Article V and EU's Article 42.7.

  6989.  @mikemoore5929  The United States remained Europe’s top supplier of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in the first 3 months of 2021 as it continued to gain market share at the expense of Russia and Qatar, Europe’s second- and third-largest sources of LNG, according to the EU Commission’s latest European Gas Market Report. The US supplied 24% (4.2 Bcm) of the EU’s overall LNG imports (17 Bcm in Q1 2021); Russia placed second at 21% (3.7 Bcm); and Qatar was third at 18% (3.1 Bcm), the EU Commission reported in early July. When compared to Q4 2020, the US picked up 2% market share from January to March this year, while Russia bested Qatar to become Europe’s second-largest LNG supplier. Nigeria placed fourth, followed by Algeria and Trinidad and Tobago. A review of EU Commission reports dating back to 2019 reveals a steady quarter-to-quarter decline in Europe’s LNG purchases while it also documents the growing rivalry between the US and Russia, Qatar’s fall from dominance, and the emergence of the US as Europe’s top LNG supplier starting Q4 2019. The EU is the world’s third-largest LNG market, though its imports amounted to only about half that of Japan (36 Bcm) and China (32 Bcm) in Q1 2021. European gas consumption rose 7.6% to 132 Bcm in Q1 based on a year-on-year comparison. The commission noted that demand for gas as fuel to generate electricity rose 3.4%, also year-on-year (increasing by 4.9 TWh.)

Budapest Memorandum requires Ukraine to join Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty as part of Ukraine's nuclear WMD disarmament. Russia has exited Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum. If the US exits from Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum, then Ukraine has the right to develop its WMDs to defend itself against land-grabbing Russian imperialists. Russia does not maintain Ukraine's territorial integrity. US exit from Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum has a negative outcome for US allies being in the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons Treaty (NPT).

  7031. The Chile example, USSR has supported its Cuban proxy that in turn supported Marxist Salvador Allende. You're a hypocrite. Marxist Salvador Allende clashed with the right-wing parties that controlled Congress and with the judiciary. On 11 September 1973, the military moved to oust Allende in a coup d'état. Marxist Salvador Allende's presidential branch effectively declared war on the judiciary and right-wing majority governed Congress branches. During the 1970 Chilean presidential election, both the United States and the Soviet Union poured money into this election through their intelligence agencies and other sources. 💰KGB money was more precisely targeted. Allende made a personal request for Soviet money through his personal contact, KGB officer Svyatoslav Kuznetsov, who urgently came to Chile from Mexico City to help Allende. The original allocation of money for these elections through the KGB was $400,000, and an additional personal subsidy of $50,000 directly to Allende.[8] It is believed that help from KGB was a decisive factor, because Allende won by a narrow margin of 39,000 votes of a total of the 3 million cast. After the elections, the KGB director Yuri Andropov obtained permission for additional money and other resources from the Central Committee of the CPSU to ensure Allende victory in Congress. In his request on 24 October, he stated that KGB "will carry out measures designed to promote the consolidation of Allende's victory and his election to the post of President of the country". --------------- In your argument's summary, the USSR-supported regime change intervention is okay while the US intervention is bad. Your argument is hypocritical. USSR's proxy attempted to remove Chile's check-and-balance Congress system. USSR's proxy attempted to concentrate political power into a single entity (individual and political party). The US has no problems with the Swedish-style nanny market led-socialism that is practiced in the CANZUK and Nordic groups.

  7041.  @solaroid4442  How is Japan able to function with a debt to GDP ratio of 250%? Because sovereign debt is not debt as you and I know debt. It is debt in name only. Liabilities in the accounting sense only, not a future obligation. The government doesn’t go to Citibank for loans; the government bails out Citibank when Citibank gets into trouble. If you are a government with its own currency, why would you need to borrow that currency from anybody? It is a ridiculous proposition on its face. Yet people cannot seem to get past the word “debt,” and most don’t bother to understand how this gigantic “debt” came into being. Here is how it works in the U.S. (all fiat currency economies operate in much the same manner): Treasury issues bonds and sells them to the private sector; then the government spends the proceeds right back into the economy. The private sector gains financial assets (bonds); the government records more liabilities (bonds, reserves, and cash are all government liabilities). The Fed (our central bank) buys bonds in exchange for reserves it creates on the spot in the normal course of business, as they see fit. So the government is able to alter the makeup of their liabilities in the private sector, as all of those liabilities are interchangeable. Treasury obligations held by the central bank as assets against bank liabilities are often counted as part of the “national debt,” but they shouldn’t be. In any sane description, the central bank is part of the government; it is like your left pocket owing your right pocket money. Notice that in none of the above transactions does the government really borrow any private sector assets. Deficit spending results in a net addition of financial assets (money) to the private sector. Dollars aren’t used, taxed away, tied up, or otherwise made unavailable to the private sector; in fact, the private sector has gained money, income, and aggregate demand in the deal. So sovereign debt is nothing like your mortgage debt. It does not make it more difficult for the government to create and spend money in the future; interest payments are simply paid for with new money; and most importantly, it costs the government nothing in real resources to create and spend assets into the private sector while holding the liabilities indefinitely. And these government liabilities (bonds, reserves, and cash) are held by the private sector as debt-free assets. To answer your question, Japan isn’t burdened by interest payments, because the government creates money at no cost. And they aren’t burdened by “paying off the principle” because all government liabilities are interchangeable - the central bank can exchange bonds for yen (or vice versa) with a few keystrokes; no pre-existing money has to be amassed. It is just accounting. ------- Russian currency doesn't have the luxury of large market's US Dollar or EU's Euros, countries like Australia with similar GDP to Russia's GDP must carefully track their government spending.

Your "A promise he forgot the moment potato head got installed in the US." statement is flawed when Minsk I failed before the Biden administration. Minsk I (2014) After the follow-up memorandum, the Second Battle of Donetsk Airport broke out, and both parties continued to accuse each other of ceasefire violations.[4] In late October, DPR prime minister and Minsk Protocol signatory Alexander Zakharchenko said that his forces would retake the territory it had lost to Ukrainian forces during a July 2014 offensive, and that DPR forces would be willing to wage "heavy battles" to do so. While campaigning in the lead-up to the 2 November elections held by the DPR and LPR in violation of the Protocol, Zakharchenko said "These are historical times. We are creating a new country! It's an insane goal".[15] OSCE chairman Didier Burkhalter confirmed that the elections ran "counter to the letter and spirit of the Minsk Protocol", and said that they would "further complicate its implementation By January 2015, the Minsk Protocol ceasefire had completely collapsed.

Finland is not part of NATO but has purchased medium-range strike missiles from Israel. Estonia has purchased medium-range strike missiles from Israel. Poland's PAC3 purchase comes with Israel's Stunner interceptor missiles. Have you noticed the pattern? Since Russia is playing "the Great Game" in the Middle East at the expense of Israel, Israel will also sell its missiles to Russia's neighbors.

The Pentagon also has put about 8,500 U.S.-based troops on higher alert for possible deployment to Europe. The US can easily increase its troop numbers in Europe into the 100,000 range. The 1,000 U.S. troops going to Romania are members of the 2nd Cavalry Regiment based at Vilseck, Germany. They will augment the approximately 900 U.S. troops already in Romania.

That's a red herring and outside scope of the this video topic. >The US has been renouncing other political system like Socialism . False narrative. The US accepts Nordic's capitalist-socialist hybrid model. For post-WW2 Japan, Douglas Macarthur also executed land reform by shifting significant wealthy landlords' lands to the workers with private land title transfers. Land Reform in Postwar Japan As part of the democratization of Japan after World War II, Japanese leaders and Occupation authorities worked together to carry out land reform. It is regarded as one of the most successful of the Occupation-era reforms, and has become the model for land reform in other countries. The purpose of land reform was to reduce the wide gap between absentee landlords who owned agricultural land but did not farm it themselves, and tenant farmers who rented the land in exchange for giving the landlord a high proportion of the crop. The land reform laws were intended to limit the amount of farm land one household could own to about the amount of land that one family could farm themselves, without outside labor. The government forced absentee landlords to sell all their land to the government. Farmers were allowed to own a small amount of farm land that they could rent out to others ( 2.5 acres or one hectare in most parts of Japan, and 10 acres or 4 hectares in Hokkaido), and had to sell any excess to the government. The government then sold this land, usually to the tenant who had been farming it. The result greatly improved the living conditions of farmers. Idealogical basis: The West has its own idealogy on land reform based on the family unit and private ownership as its core idealogy. This is Macarthur's socialism with private land title transfers. VS Marxist = land reform transfer to the state, no private land title transfer to the workers. Marxist socialism is fake since it doesn't transfer ownership to families.

That's a useless argument when the Australian population has voted First Australians into political offices. Furthermore, there's an ancient virus lurking in remote Australia that affects thousands of Aboriginal adults and this ancient virus is related to HIV( i.e. HTLV-1) and reduces an adult's life span. It's a racist argument to separate Australians by their racial group i.e. your argument is a racial segregation argument, hence you should look in the mirror since your own racial segregation argument failed the race neutrality test. >China do not colonized any countries in the world FALSE.

  7092.  @edisonluo7050  1. US/UK maritime micro-reactors include highly enriched fissile material. This is sealed in normal operations. 2. Aukus class and pre-Block 5 Virginia class submarines include strike-length vertical launch tubes. Each 7-strike-length vertical launch tube cluster makes up an adaptor for a larger diameter missile tube that is similar to a missile tube that can launch multiple warheads Trident II ICBM. For the worst-case scenario, it's closing the development gap between a non-nuclear weapons state and a nuclear weapons-armed state. 3. NPT is rendered void when the country defends itself against invaders. The problem is the time between a non-nuclear weapons state and a nuclear weapons-armed state. Virginia (due to VLS), SSN(x), and Aukus classes are poor man's SSBN.

  7093. @Toask During the G20 meeting in Australia, the Collins Class is unable to perform fast silent interception and silent escort roles since Australia enlisted a US nuclear attack submarine when it monitored a small Russian fleet located outside Australia's northeast waters. Collins Class's silent run has about 890 km range at 4 knots. Japanese AIP subs can do 6.5 knots with an 11,000 km range. Japanese AIP tech is licensed from Sweden. Cargo ships have a higher speed e.g. 20 knots. At higher speeds, Collins Class is not silent with submerged diesel run. Europe's non-nuclear powered submarines that defend smaller European countries' smaller coastlines shouldn't be used for Australia's 35,000 km coastline defense i.e. Australia is not France, nor Sweden nor Ireland. Paul Keating's defense mindset is European instead of East Asian and Australia's large coastline. Paul Keating is wrong.
    1
  7094.  @rossevans1774  Note that the US ordered Japan's highly enriched fissile material to be transferred to the US. JP's ability to generate 2 tons of highly enriched fissile material within a year has closed the gap between non-nuclear status and nuclear-state status to a few months. For a total war situation, NPT (Non-Proliferation Treaty) is rendered void i.e. Article X exit clause from NPT. During a total war situation, an advanced country without nuclear weapons and without highly enriched fissile material, it would take at least 2 years to develop a nuclear bomb. Keep in mind, UK and US marine micro-nuclear reactors are designed with highly enriched fissile material. Australia's direction with the AUKUS project is to close the gap between non-nuclear status and nuclear-state status. Budapest Memorandum's impeding failure will add extra arguments for independent nuclear weapons for smaller countries. The US has made agreements with countries such as SK, JP, AUS, and TW to halt independent nuclear weapons programs in exchange for security assurances. The US and UK signed Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum that traded Ukraine's nuclear weapons for security assurances. Russia has exited Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum. France and China have signed a watered-down Budapest Memorandum. US EXIT (due to Republican isolationism) from Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum has a negative outcome for any US allies being in the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT). Like Ukraine''s Budapest Memorandum, Australia does NOT have a NATO Article V quality defense treaty with the US. Feelings are useless without firepower to back them.

It is the eighth year the proposal has been knocked back, with China and Russia voting the proposal down on previous occasions. This caused Australia to enlist help from the EU while New Zealand enlist help from the US. Feelings are useless without firepower.

  7102. For context, there is a large 2100 km sea gap between Mauritius and the Chagos Islands. The flaw with the UK's deal with Mauritius is the lack of Chagossian input. The US shouldn't support Mauritius' imperialist aims on Chagossians. Do not repeat the UK's Hong Kong 99-year lease. If the UK wants out of Diego Garcia, then the US should abandon its support of other UK foreign interests e.g. the current US is less dependent on Middle East oil when compared to the UK, the rest of the EU countries, and Australia-New Zealand. When compared to the US, both the UK and Australia have higher dependencies on Middle East oil and both countries have Labor/Labour governments. The US presence near the Middle East largely benefits US allies' oil problem, not the current US with good oil supplies. US trade is not dependent on the Suez Canal trade route i.e. this is the US allies' problem e.g. EU's, UK's, and Australia-New Zealand's problem. When the ice melts, the Suez Canal trade route wouldn't be an issue for the EU and UK when northern Canada's trade route is opened. The Trump administration should assess the situation based on "America 1st".

  7175. @Seawolf Victoria's private security contractor was made under "equality" consideration i.e. it was own by non-white instead of biosecurity credentials. The Dan Andrews government contracted a private security company without biosecurity credentials. When compared to NSW, VIC, WA is not a popular immigration destination and it has a 2.667 million population with 9 COVID-19 death. I have visited WA's Perth city prior to 2019 and its small i.e. population size is about 2 million in year 2020. NSW has sent a request for payment ($7 million) to the WA government. NSW government handled hotel quarantine and contact tracing better than the VIC government and luck is NOT involved with it. For the "Australian Federation", COVID-19 contact tracing is done at the state government level NOT the federal government.

  7176. @Seawolf Luck is NOT involved with it READ abc.net.au/news/2020-07-04/victoria-coronavirus-hotel-quarantine-leaves-states-vulnerable/12420970 Quoting from the article A mandatory 14-day quarantine period for travellers returning home from overseas is based on national guidelines, but how those 14 days play out varies across states. A person who tests positive for coronavirus while in hotel quarantine doesn't need to return a negative result before they're allowed to leave, under the national guidelines. In NSW, every returned traveller must be tested at 10 days. In Victoria, people are offered tests on days 3 and 11. Mandatory testing was only introduced last weekend for NSW, and in Victoria the rules have recently been changed so if people decline testing they have to quarantine for a further 10 days. ------------------ NSW is a MUST. VIC is an OFFER. For Victoria's second COVDi-19 wave, Victora is a soft touch. ------------------ From abc.net.au/news/2020-07-04/victoria-coronavirus-hotel-quarantine-leaves-states-vulnerable/12420970 Again, Quoting from the article How is Victoria set up differently? Like other states, Victoria has strict quarantine rules where the person is forbidden from leaving the accommodation unless there is an emergency situation or an exemption based on compassionate grounds. But human error and alleged misconduct has been the main cause of resurgence in COVID-19 cases in Victoria, according to Mr Andrews. Victoria's state-run hotel quarantine has used private security contractors to guard rooms — a process that is now changing after guards contracted the virus and spread it to the community. In NSW, travellers with a fever or who are displaying COVID-19 symptoms are referred to a "Health Hotel", managed by NSW Health. Travellers who are well and have no symptoms are taken to hotels run by NSW Police. Private security guards may assist, but NSW Health says they are all given infection control training. ---------------- Luck is NOT involved with it

The federal government has a quarantine facility near Darwin, NT e.g. Howard Springs quarantine facility. Northern Territory (NT) is not an Australian state, hence the federal government's intervention. Howard Springs quarantine facility is only available for the repatriation of Australians returning from overseas. >under a far stricter lockdown compared to Australia mind you Australia's lockdown is dependant on state and federal (e.g. NT) governments' policies.

  7178. @Seawolf Read abc.net.au/news/2021-01-15/howard-springs-quarantine-facilities-in-other-states-australia/13058438 This is the Australian federal government's "gold standard" purpose-built quarantine facility. QLD and WA state governments wanted the federal (Commonwealth) government to take over the quarantine role while the NSW government is against it. NSW has the bulk of international inflows, hence it has larger say on the matter. Under the Australian Constitution, the Commonwealth (aka Australian federal government) has full legislative power, if it chooses to exercise it, over the Northern Territory, and has devolved self-government to the Territory. Australia is a federation of states, hence there's an extra layer of politics. Australia's COVID-19 management coordination is via https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Council_of_Australian_Governments which is replace by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Cabinet_(Australia) For COVID-19 management, NZ government (via PM Jacinda Ardern) has participated in Australia's National Cabinet. NZ's participation in Australia's National Cabinet effectively NZ is acting a part-time state of Australia.

From theage.com.au/politics/victoria/troops-offered-from-start-of-hotel-quarantine-scheme-but-never-taken-up-20200915-p55vyg.html Recordings of meetings that set up Victoria's failed hotel quarantine program reveal Australian Defence Force troops were on offer to the Victorian government from the start but were never taken up by the state’s Emergency Management Commissioner Andrew Crisp. _Documents supplied by the Morrison government to the state inquiry into quarantine hotels on Tuesday also showed almost 500 ADF staff were working in hotels and at airports in NSW and Queensland at the same time Victoria told the army it didn’t need help_. Victoria’s decision to rely on poorly trained private security guards in its quarantine hotels – instead of a mix of police, soldiers and private guards as other states did more successfully – allowed coronavirus to escape into the community The federal government documents provided to the inquiry on Tuesday included an email with the subject heading "assistance re hotel stay security". The email was sent in April by the boss of the Commonwealth public service, Phil Gaetjens, to Chris Eccles, his Victorian public service equivalent. Mr Gaetjens wrote: "The Commonwealth would be willing to assist Victoria in a similar way [to NSW] if you wanted to reconsider your model" and use the ADF. Mr Eccles replied: "Thanks Phil." ----- Victoria's COVID-19 second wave is on Victoria's Labor state government!

  7269.  @befeleme  The US doesn't have territorial disputes while China has territorial disputes. The Ten Great Campaigns (Chinese: 十全武功; pinyin: Shíquán Wǔgōng) were a series of military campaigns launched by the Qing dynasty of China in the mid–late 18th century during the reign of the Qianlong Emperor (r. 1735–1796). They included three to enlarge the area of Qing control in Inner Asia: two against the Dzungars (1755–1757) and the "pacification" of Xinjiang (1758–1759). The other seven campaigns were more in the nature of police actions on frontiers already established: two wars to suppress the Gyalrong of Jinchuan, Sichuan, another to suppress the Taiwanese Aboriginals (1787–88), and four expeditions abroad against the Burmese (1765–1769), the Vietnamese (1788–1789), and the Gurkhas on the border between Tibet and Nepal (1790–1792), with the last counting as two. President Xi's argument is based on historical Imperial China's Ten Great Campaigns. Territorial disputes around Xi's China are based on Imperial China's Ten Great Campaigns. During the 4th Sino-Burmese Wars starting in 1768, Imperial China invaded the Kingdom of Burma. Burma hired European musketeers and gunners, hence Burma allied itself with the rising French Empire against Imperial China's invasion. Imperial China is an imperialist power that led to engagement with other powers.

CONSTITUTION OF UKRAINE Adopted at the Fifth Session of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on 28 June 1996 Article 17 The location of foreign military bases shall not be permitted on the territory of Ukraine. Yanukovych breached the Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17. After 2017, Ukraine's constitution is incompatible with foreign military bases hosting either NATO or CSTO. If Yanukovych didn't sign the military base rental extension, Russia would be kicked out of Crimea. Putin's narrative is FALSE. Putin's pressure caused Yanukovych to make a mistake.

  7284.  @danishh8454  It's less crucial when the USA builds its military on the British Indian Ocean Territory island and establishes a USN-compatible logistics chain in Australia i.e. AUKUS project. Suez Canal is important for USN's 6th fleet stationed in Italy and access to the Arabian Sea, but the European front is mostly a land war. Canada is exporting natural gas and oil to the EU and UK. Canada completed Trans-Canada (TC Energy) natural gas pipeline in the 1980s. Trans-Canada (TC Energy) natural gas pipeline links up Canada's east and west coast hydrocarbon fuel projects. This factor didn't exist before WW2. Climate change-driven Arctic ice melting via Canada enables the UK an alternative NATO-friendly route to Pacific Ocean CPTPP members. Logistic considerations changed after WW2.

They formed a state known in modern historiography as Kievan Rus', which was initially a multiethnic society where the ruling Norsemen merged and assimilated with Slavic, Baltic and Finnic tribes, ending up with Old East Slavic as their common language.

  7340.  @warheadvun5485  Schiffels et al. (2016) examined the remains of three Iron Age Britons buried ca. 100 BC. A female buried in Linton, Cambridgeshire carried the maternal haplogroup H1e, while two males buried in Hinxton both carried the paternal haplogroup R1b1a2a1a2, and the maternal haplogroups K1a1b1b and H1ag1. Their genetic profile was considered typical for Northwest European populations. Though sharing a common Northwestern European origin, the Iron Age individuals were markedly different from later Anglo-Saxon samples, who were closely related to Danes and Dutch people. The indigenous Britons of Roman Britain were genetically closely related to the earlier Iron Age female Briton, and displayed close genetic links to modern Celts of the British Isles, particularly Welsh (Wales) people, suggesting genetic continuity between Iron Age Britain and Roman Britain, and partial genetic continuity between Roman Britain and modern Britain. In addition, a Brittonic legacy remains in England, Scotland and Galicia in Spain,[38] in the form of often large numbers of Brittonic place and geographical names. Some examples of geographical Brittonic names survive in the names of rivers, such as the Thames, Clyde, Severn, Tyne, Wye, Exe, Dee, Tamar, Tweed, Avon, Trent, Tambre, Navia, and Forth. Many place names in England and Scotland are of Brittonic rather than Anglo-Saxon or Gaelic origin, such as London, Manchester, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Carlisle, Caithness, Aberdeen, Dundee, Barrow, Exeter, Lincoln, Dumbarton, Brent, Penge, Colchester, Gloucester, Durham, Dover, Kent, Leatherhead, and York.

Marxist Salvador Allende clashed with the right-wing parties that controlled Congress and with the judiciary. On 11 September 1973, the military moved to oust Allende in a coup d'état. Marxist Salvador Allende's presidential branch effectively declared war on the judiciary and right-wing majority governed Congress branches. During the 1970 Chilean presidential election, both the United States and the Soviet Union poured money into this election through their intelligence agencies and other sources. 💰KGB money was more precisely targeted. Allende made a personal request for Soviet money through his personal contact, KGB officer Svyatoslav Kuznetsov, who urgently came to Chile from Mexico City to help Allende. The original allocation of money for these elections through the KGB was $400,000, and an additional personal subsidy of $50,000 directly to Allende.[8] It is believed that help from KGB was a decisive factor, because Allende won by a narrow margin of 39,000 votes of a total of the 3 million cast. After the elections, the KGB director Yuri Andropov obtained permission for additional money and other resources from the Central Committee of the CPSU to ensure Allende victory in Congress. In his request on 24 October, he stated that KGB "will carry out measures designed to promote the consolidation of Allende's victory and his election to the post of President of the country".[8] You're a hypocrite.

While China has made progress, some problems remain: a lack of transparency industrial policies and non-tariff measures that discriminate against foreign companies strong government intervention in the economy, resulting in a dominant position of state-owned firms, unequal access to subsidies and cheap financing poor protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights In 2016 the EU adopted a new strategy on China mapping out the European Union's relationship with China for the next five years. The Strategy promotes reciprocity, a level playing field and fair competition across all areas of co-operation. The strategy also includes a trade agenda with a strong focus on improving market access opportunities – including negotiations on a Comprehensive Agreement on Investment. It also deals with overcapacity and calling on China to engage with ambition at multilateral level. -------- Trump is late.

Kimmel Black https://global.handelsblatt.com/politics/trump-may-point-eu-tariffs-ifo-says-899083 “The EU is by no means the paradise for free traders that it likes to think,” said Gabriel Felbermayr, director of the ifo Center for International Economics, a division of the Munich-based ifo Institute. The European Union actually comes off as the bigger offender when compared to the US, he added. The unweighted average EU customs duty is 5.2 percent, versus the US rate of 3.5 percent, according to ifo’s database. So when Mr. Trump complains of “massive tariffs” he is not that far off the mark in several cases. And he does complain. “If the EU wants to further increase their already massive tariffs and barriers on US companies doing business there, we will simply apply a tax on their cars, which freely pour into the US,” the president tweeted earlier this month. “They make it impossible for our cars (and more) to sell there. Big trade imbalance!” .... In fact it wasn’t even Mr. Trump who first broke off negotiations over a US-EU free trade deal known as the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), the German economist noted. It was actually the EU that put the unpopular talks “on ice” ahead of elections in France and Germany.

  7384.  @Apache1970  China's rare earth near-monopoly was built on SOE (State-Owned Enterprise) which drove private competitors from the market. Rare earth is important for the electronics component production logistics chain. From Graphite Publications article from 2010. Title: Will chinas Outrageous Rare Earth Monopoly Persist Year Date: 2010. Heavy importers of these REEs such as the U.S., Germany, and Japan believe these rationales disguise China’s true exploitative motive: to force foreign factories to move to China to keep their costs low and their supply high Second, importing countries have been concerned with the agglutination of Chinese mining companies in what appears to be a calculated move to make China’s monopoly even more monopolistic. Most prominently, Bao Gang Rare Earth (BGRE), a state-owned REE company forcibly merged with four smaller companies and numerous smaller companies were shut down to create a monopoly in Northern China which accounts for two-thirds of China’s output. Moreover, China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) decreed minimum production thresholds for domestic companies in early August 2012, essentially truncating the smallest REE producers as well as with 20% of China’s rare earths capacity.

  7385.  @Apache1970  From Forbes, Title: Protectionism May Be Rising Around The World, But In China, It Never Went Away Year Date: 2016 Promises unkept? Since joining the WTO in 2001, China has repeatedly insisted that it will live up to those undertakings made on entry. In particular, the use of currency manipulation has been identified by the US as a breech of the commitment to end price controls for the purposes of protecting domestic industries. This became a major political issue from 2005 onwards, and has only recently subsided because it is assumed that the RMB is slightly overvalued on the market. Nevertheless, for years it was deliberate policy for the PBoC to accumulate US Dollars and suppress the exchange rate for the RMB, resulting in exactly the price distortions China had committed to eliminate in 2001, and fuelling an enormous trade surplus with the US, which persists and expands to this day. Furthermore TRIPS implementation has been given some effect on paper, but has made little progress when it comes to 'enforcement.' This is (according to the WTO) as recently as February 2015, fully 14 years after TRIPS was supposed to be already in effect. The US Trade Representative produces an annual report to Congress on China's WTO compliance which leaves little room to conclude they have so far lived up to their accession commitments. The most recent several-hundred-page document - produced in December 2015 - recites a long list of small measures, committees established, announcements made and new administrative complications faced, all continuing disputes over an agreement theoretically in effect since 2001. Although, therefore, protectionism is rising around the world, it is also true to say that existing practices of protectionism have not fallen in the way that they should have since China's accession to the WTO in 2001. Because of this lack of progress in easing trade, the extended period of currency manipulation, the lack of observance of TRIPS and the sheer administrative resistance exporters face when trying to get their products into China, we now face of world of highly unbalanced trade, and rising mistrust. And it is this that is leading to rising protectionism; the simple fact that it never went away.

  7390.  @gore1089  During the 1st wave of COVID-19. A former Chinese military officer worked with Chinese Communist Party agencies and a group with links to organised crime to export tonnes of Australian medical supplies to Wuhan at the height of the coronavirus epidemic. CCP sleeper agents directly interfered in Australian medical supplies during 1st wave COVID-19 outbreak. Employees of Greenland Australia, a subsidiary of the Chinese government-backed global property giant Greenland Group, were instructed to put their normal work on hold and source bulk supplies of essential medical items to ship back to China. In February Risland’s LinkedIn page showed pallet-loads of safety gear being stored in a warehouse ready for shipment. "90 tons of selective medical supplies… ready for the air transport direct from Sydney to Wuhan via corporate jet on Monday next week," said the company’s post. That's Russian style "little green" style operation. CCP sleeper agents directly interfered in Australian medical supplies during 1st wave COVID-19 outbreak. You don't know shit.

  7399.  Varangian Guard  19 March 2011: French[73] forces began the military intervention in Libya, later joined by coalition forces with strikes against armoured units south of Benghazi and attacks on Libyan air-defense systems, as UN Security Council Resolution 1973 called for using "all necessary means" to protect civilians and civilian-populated areas from attack, imposed a no-fly zone, and called for an immediate and with-standing cease-fire, while also strengthening travel bans on members of the regime, arms embargoes, and asset freezes.[18] 24 March 2011: In telephone negotiations, French foreign minister Alain Juppé agreed to let NATO take over all military operations on 29 March at the latest, allowing Turkey to veto strikes on Gaddafi ground forces from that point forward.[75] Later reports stated that NATO would take over enforcement of the no-fly zone and the arms embargo, but discussions were still under way about whether NATO would take over the protection of civilians mission. Turkey reportedly wanted the power to veto airstrikes, while France wanted to prevent Turkey from having such a veto.[76][77] 25 March 2011: NATO Allied Joint Force Command in Naples took command of the no-fly zone over Libya and combined it with the ongoing arms embargo operation under the name Operation Unified Protector.[78] ----- NATO Allied Joint Force Command wasn't used until the 25th of March 2011. From the French's POV, not using NATO Command removes Turkey's veto power.

  7412.  @KingOfZamunda  >one party instigated the euromaidan coup That's a FALSE narrative from Putin. Date: Jan. 7, 2010 Yanukovych: Ukraine will remain a neutral state. "It’s certain that Ukraine was and will be non-aligned state… We strive neither to join NATO nor the [CIS]CSTO [Collective Security Treaty Organization]. We’ll maintain a neutral status," Yanukovych said in an interview with the Komsomolskaya Pravda in Ukraine newspaper. -------- The trigger for Euromaidan was Yanukovych initiated non-neutrality policies such as joining a trade block instead of executing Switzerland-style neutrality. UK leaving the EU and joining CPTPP proves freedom of association. Before Euromaidan, Russia, however, has successfully used political and economic leverage to dissuade Ukraine from signing the E.U. deal. In the months prior to the Vilnius summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin engaged in a trade war with Kiev, blocking nearly all imports from Ukraine and cutting energy supplies to the country. In turn, this reduced Ukrainian exports by 25 percent and shrank the economy by 1.5 percent. Some trade background for the context From Tradebarrier Index (lower score = less trade barriers) New Zealand's tariff score is 2.92 Australia's tariff score is 3.03 UK's tariff score is 3.94 (after Brexit) Japan's tariff score is 4.05 US's tariff score is 4.54 Germany's tariff score is 4.88 EU's tariff score is 4.88 Russia's tariff score is 6.16 <-------- China's tariff score is 6.8 <------ Russia wants to maintain its higher trade protectionist policies. ------ Victoria Nuland herself doesn't have the power, but about 73% of the MPs—voted to "remove Viktor Yanukovych from the post of president of Ukraine" has the power. Don't assume Ukraine's president has absolute power when 73% of the MPs have voted to "remove Viktor Yanukovych from the post of president of Ukraine". Ukraine Constitution 1991, Article 17, disallows foreign military bases after 2017. According to former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, Ukraine's constitution forbids the country from hosting foreign military bases after 2017. Yanukovych breached the Ukraine Constitution 1991, Article 17 when Yanukovych renewed foreign base lease with Russia. In 2018, President Petro Poroshenko's constitution amendment allowed temporary foreign military bases. LOL

The British government doesn't govern India, Canada, Australia, United States, New Zealand and 'etc'. The current British government did NOT inherit the British Empire! Your argument is hypocritical when Russian Federation still has most of the land territories from the Russian Empire! 2. Note the existence of independent nuclear weapons from US allies such as the UK, France, and Israel. The trigger is the 1956 Suez Canal crisis when the Soviets have threaten to nuke Britain, France, and Israel without US nuclear weapons coverage. The US has withdrawn nuclear weapons coverage for Britain, France, and Israel.

We cannot speculate where this report originated.” ---- China has effectively nationalized foreign mask producers. The lesson, don't outsource basic medical supplies to another country and they are not Nike shoes or Apple iPhones. China didn't learn from SARS when COVID-19 is also known as SARS-COV-2. It's most likely happen again as long as China has weak bio-security for food production. After the COVID situation, it's better to start DIY stockpile at home.

It does not cover orthodontic or cosmetic dental work or any dental care provided in hospital. Most of the services are bulk billed, so you don’t pay anything. The payments are only available to families who are already receiving other government benefits. Public dental services: The states and territories provide public dental services both for children and adults. These may include emergency dental services or referrals to specialist services like orthodontics in hospital. Adults must generally have a Health Care Card or Centrelink Pensioner Concession Card to be eligible, although the rules vary depending on where you live. Each state and territory offers different services and you may have to wait up to a year or more to see a dentist.

  7457. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/02/27/dear-bernie-sanders-you-cant-separate-cubas-social-policies-its-authoritarianism/ First, consider the issue of literacy in Cuba before Castro came along. Was pre-Castro Cuba a nation of illiterates, and Castro’s literacy campaign as great an accomplishment as Sanders avers? Not at all. A Cuban census from 1953 found that 77.9 percent of the island’s total population was already literate, and that in urban areas the literacy rate was 88.9 percent: among the highest in Latin America and higher than in some benighted rural counties in the United States. Seven years later, in 1960, according to data compiled at Oxford University, the literacy rate for the entire island was 79 percent. So the scope of Castro’s 1961 literacy campaign, much admired by Sanders, is more myth than reality . Moreover, the image of pre-Castro Cuba as a primitive society rescued from poverty and illiteracy by a so-called revolution is a deceitful caricature, one brilliantly conceived by the Castro regime to make its brutality seem less offensive — merely “authoritarian” rather than monstrous.

  7468.  @prhodan59  Air Forces Monthly had an article, "The Big Fight", about the Advanced Tactical Leadership Course (ATLC) in its April 2010 issue. The successive article (same issue), "Justifiably Proud!", was an interview with Lt. Col. Fabrice Grandclaudon, Commander of EC 1/7. "AFM: You apparently said 'the Rafale rubbed F-22 - the most modern fighter of the USAF. During six encounters the F-22 hit its goal only once'. The 27th FS doesn't remember the engagements that way and say the F-22 scored several victories against Rafale. Did you offer DACT to the Raptors and did they decline? I did not say we 'rubbed them', I said that there was only one shot claimed (ie a simulated kill) for the six that were set-up. I read in a recent issue of Air et Cosmos that it was two. As far as I am concerned, one or two shots of six Basic Fighter Manoeuvres (BFM) encounters is a victory for the F-22 but not an overwhelming one. Not like the one we claimed against the Typhoons after combat in Solenzara, Corsica during September (9 set-up: 8 to 1 for the Rafale*). The other set-ups versus F-22s were terminated for combat deck, an un-decisive situation or lack of fuel. We never shot them down, but we hope to do so soon since we are quite good opposition for them, and it is in the pilot's spirit not to give up! Like almost every nation, we offered Beyond Visual Range DACT, of course, but the F-22 was only authorized to do BFM 1v1 Within Visual Range (WVR) versus foreign countries (except the UK, with whom they did not fight even in the BFMs). I wish we could have done so, but we didn't - which bring me back to Air et Cosmos, where its information about BVR engagement with AMRAAM in stealth mode is wrong: besides the fact that we did not even fly BVR vs F-22s! F-22 was fitted with some specific device to increase their radar signature. It enabled us to have contact with them during work ups for example. But that's not the point here." ------------- 1. "one or two shots of six Basic Fighter Manoeuvres (BFM) encounters is a victory for the F-22" . 2. "We never shot them down" on another setup. Note that F-22s has to increase it's RCS for the training. In a real combat, F-22A's specific device to increase their radar signature would be turned off and Rafale's pilots would have comparably inferior situation awareness than F-22's pilots since Rafale's pilots wouldn't be aware of F-22A's specific location i.e. it's another F-22's mass (simulated) killing of F-15s type scenario. Without F-22A's RCS booster, Rafale's pilots wouldn't be able to locate the F-22s for training. 3. None of the OSF pictures released by the French Ministry of Defense represented a kill.

Iraq's WMD issue is not yet over since European courts are chasing down European businesses that profited from the Iraqi WMD program. ----- Date: March 2017 Kurdistan’s Interior Minister said on Tuesday the Regional Government since its formation had demanded from the federal government to pay compensation to the families of Kurdish victims who suffered genocide, killing, and displacement from the former Iraqi regime. Rebar Ahmed stressed during the Parliament session that in 2014 “we decided to announce Halabja as a governorate,… but perhaps the big problem facing Halabja is that Iraq is not yet ready to recognize it as a governorate. Therefore, the federal government did not allocate a financial budget for it.” Ahmed continued that when the first Kurdish delegation went to Baghdad, it delivered the Prime Minister a request to compensate the victims of the people of Kurdistan with 380 billion dollars for the crimes committed by Saddam Hussein's regime in Halabja, Anfal and to Barzanis, Faili Kurds, and all victims of Baath crimes. The Halabja chemical attack, also known as the Halabja Massacre or Bloody Friday was a massacre of Kurdish people that took place on 16 March 1988, during the closing days of the Iran–Iraq War in the Kurdish city of Halabja in Iraqi Kurdistan. The attack was part of the Al-Anfal Campaign in Kurdistan, as well as part of the Iraqi Army's attempt to repel the Iranian Operation Zafar 7. It took place 48 hours after the capture of the town by the Iranian Army. A United Nations (UN) medical investigation concluded that mustard gas was used in the attack, along with unidentified nerve agents. The incident was the largest chemical weapons attack directed against a civilian-populated area in history, killing between 3,200 and 5,000 people and injuring 7,000 to 10,000 more, most of them civilians. Preliminary results from surveys of the affected region showed an increased rate of cancer and birth defects in the years afterward.

China and Russia launched new reactors projects in May 2021 i.e. Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin take part in virtual ceremony to launch the construction of new reactors in a joint project.

Sale of US Virginia-class submarines: From the early 2030s – pending approval by Congress – the US intends to sell Australia three Virginia-class submarines, with a potential option for two more if required. 4. SSN-Aukus: A combination of UK submarine design and US defence technology will contribute to the development of the new SSN-Aukus submarine – intended as the future attack submarine for both the UK and Australia. Both Australia and the UK intend to start building SSN-Aukus submarines in their domestic shipyards before the end of this decade. The first such boat may enter into UK service in the late 2030s, but the Australian navy will receive its first Australian-built SSN-Aukus submarine in the early 2040s.

Marxist Salvador Allende clashed with the right-wing parties that controlled Congress and with the judiciary. On 11 September 1973, the military moved to oust Allende in a coup d'état. Marxist Salvador Allende's presidential branch effectively declared war on the judiciary and right-wing majority governed Congress branches. During the 1970 Chilean presidential election, both the United States and the Soviet Union poured money into this election through their intelligence agencies and other sources. 💰KGB money was more precisely targeted. Allende made a personal request for Soviet money through his personal contact, KGB officer Svyatoslav Kuznetsov, who urgently came to Chile from Mexico City to help Allende. The original allocation of money for these elections through the KGB was $400,000, and an additional personal subsidy of $50,000 directly to Allende.[8] It is believed that help from KGB was a decisive factor, because Allende won by a narrow margin of 39,000 votes of a total of the 3 million cast. After the elections, the KGB director Yuri Andropov obtained permission for additional money and other resources from the Central Committee of the CPSU to ensure Allende victory in Congress. In his request on 24 October, he stated that KGB "will carry out measures designed to promote the consolidation of Allende's victory and his election to the post of President of the country".[8] You're a hypocrite.

In turn, this reduced Ukrainian exports by 25 percent and shrank the economy by 1.5 percent.

  7571.  @petersanders2815  The Ten Great Campaigns (Chinese: 十全武功; pinyin: Shíquán Wǔgōng) were a series of military campaigns launched by the Qing dynasty of China in the mid–late 18th century during the reign of the Qianlong Emperor (r. 1735–1796). They included three to enlarge the area of Qing control in Inner Asia: two against the Dzungars (1755–1757) and the "pacification" of Xinjiang (1758–1759). The other seven campaigns were more in the nature of police actions on frontiers already established: two wars to suppress the Gyalrong of Jinchuan, Sichuan, another to suppress the Taiwanese Aboriginals (1787–88), and four expeditions abroad against the Burmese (1765–1769), the Vietnamese (1788–1789), and the Gurkhas on the border between Tibet and Nepal (1790–1792), with the last counting as two. President Xi's argument is based on historical Imperial China's Ten Great Campaigns (Chinese: 十全武功; pinyin: Shíquán Wǔgōng). China current's territorial dispute is based on Imperial China's Ten Great Campaigns. History is repeating itself. Keating failed history. President Xi is not like the former CCP leaders.

  7607. From Dr Paul Bevilaqua of Lockheed Marin. I quote ----------------- Because the shaft-driven lift fan propulsion concept was new and therefore considered the riskiest of the alternative propulsion systems, it was decided to reduce the perceived risk of our aircraft design by replacing the canard with a more conventional aft tail. This was easily done, as one of the advantages of the lift fan concept was the ability to rebalance the aircraft with relatively small changes in the size and location of the fan. The three JAST variants are shown in Fig. 18. In May 1995, Lockheed Martin gave the Yak Aircraft Corporation a contract to provide an independent assessment of our STOVL propulsion system and airframe concept and also to provide lessons learned from their STOVL aircraft development programs. They were provided with copies of everything regarding the competing CALF concepts that had been published in the open literature, including a copy of the U.S. patent [9] on the Lockheed dual-cycle propulsion system. Drawing on their own experience developing STOVL aircraft, Yak engineers provided us with predictions of the STOVL performance, including ground effects, of all three competing aircraft concepts. They also provided a risk assessment of each concept. In addition, they provided useful design and performance information for the lift systems of the Yak STOVL aircraft. Their final report was very complimentary of our design and gave us confidence that it was the right concept ----------- Fig. 18 already has the three X-35 variants before May 1995's Lockheed Martin contracted the Yak Aircraft Corporation

China Negative List 2020 Category 1: Agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, fisheries 1. The proportion of Chinese companies in the selection and seed production of new varieties of wheat should not be less than 34%.

  7620. From Graphite Publications article from 2010. Title: Will Chinas Outrageous Rare Earth Monopoly Persist Year Date: 2010. Heavy importers of these REEs such as the U.S., Germany, and Japan believe these rationales disguise China s true exploitative motive: to force foreign factories to move to China to keep their costs low and their supply high Second, importing countries have been concerned with the agglutination of Chinese mining companies in what appears to be a calculated move to make China s monopoly even more monopolistic. Most prominently, Bao Gang Rare Earth (BGRE), a state-owned REE company forcibly merged with four smaller companies and numerous smaller companies were shut down to create a monopoly in Northern China which accounts for two-thirds of China s output. Moreover, China s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) decreed minimum production thresholds for domestic companies in early August 2012, essentially truncating the smallest REE producers as well as with 20% of China s rare earths capacity. Third, Chinese companies have determinedly acted to protect their monopoly by buying potential international rivals. Lynas Corp., an Australian company displayed plans to open a new REE mine when in May 2009, a company owned by the Chinese government swooped in with a $366 million bid and bought a majority stake in it.

Xi Jinping's CCP government's arguments are based on Imperial China's, hence Imperial China 2.0 is reborn under the new emperor (chairman for life) Xi Jinping. Both CCP and Russian Federation inherited Imperial China's and Imperial Russia's colonial actions. Both nations think communism clean slates their colonial past. 2. British East India Company has been dismantled by the British government. The British government doesn't govern India, Canada, Australia, United States, New Zealand and 'etc'. The current British government did NOT inherit the British Empire! Your argument is hypocritical and it's NOT the same when the British government does NOT govern the non-existing British Empire while Imperial China's empire still exists under CCP. Your argument is hypocritical and it's NOT the same when the British government does NOT govern the non-existing British Empire while Russian Federation inherited MOST of the Russian Empire's land area.

  7647.  @matthews1082  >Well Ukraine had been a part of the Russian Empire Ukraine was part of Poland since the Ukrainian language has Polish influence, the Polish influence with the Ukrainian language is the major separation from the Russian language. From 1804 until the Ukrainian War of Independence, the Ukrainian language was banned from schools in the Russian Empire, of which the biggest part of Ukraine (Central, Eastern, and Southern) was a part at the time. During the reign of Catherine II of Russia, the Cossack Hetmanate's autonomy was progressively destroyed. After several earlier attempts, the office of hetman was finally abolished by the Russian government in 1764, and his functions were assumed by the Little Russian Collegium, thus fully incorporating the Hetmanate into the Russian Empire. On May 7, 1775, Empress Catherine II issued a direct order that the Zaporozhian Sich was to be destroyed. On June 5, 1775, Russian artillery and infantry surrounded the Sich and razed it to the ground. The Russian troops disarmed the Cossacks, and the treasury archives were confiscated. The Koshovyi Otaman, Petro Kalnyshevsky, was arrested and incarcerated in exile at Solovetsky Monastery. This marked the end of the Zaporozhian Cossacks. ---- 1. 1863–1864 January uprising, Russian Empire crushed Polish, Lithuanian, and Ukrainian insurgents uprising. 2. Soviet–Ukrainian War occurred between 1917 to 1921, a war between the Ukrainian People's Republic vs the Bolsheviks i.e. Ukrainian Soviet Republic and Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (modern-day Russian Federation). 3. 2014, Russo-Ukrainian War.

During World War II, the Soviet Union took parts of the Moldavian ASSR, which was dissolved, and of the Kingdom of Romania's Bessarabia to form the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic in 1940. The Moldavian SSR, organised by a decision of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR on 2 August 1940, was formed out of a part of Bessarabia (taken from Romania on 28 June, after the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact) and out of a part of the Moldavian ASSR roughly equivalent to present-day Transnistria. Transnistria was a product of NAZI-Germany's and USSR's Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact. Russia is actually supporting the NAZI-era Molotov–Ribbentrop pact 🤣😂🤣😅

  7692.  @Crowns-surround_mi21  Lusophone Citizenship Easing citizens' cross-border movement between the member states was proposed at the 2017 CPLP Summit.[30] This proposal by Portugal and Cape Verde to Brazil was thought by some to conflict with Europe's Schengen area. However, this free movement is based on a different model: as residence permits, associated with the recognition of academic degrees and professional qualification, and maintenance of social rights including pension systems. It would henceforth establish Lusophone citizenship. Brazil has a nuclear-powered submarine and Sweden's Gripen E (F-39). As the rising power of Brazil coupled with Portugal partner, the Portuguese speakers have their own transnational Portuguese interest. The relationship between the rising power of Brazil and the smaller Portugal mirrors the relationship between the larger USA and the smaller UK. Brazil has a large landmass (linked to mineral wealth) and a large enough population size to be near super-power. Work in progress CANZUK initiative is the English-speaking version of Lusophone Commonwealth's Lusophone Citizenship. Lusophone Commonwealth's integration has progressed deeper than the CANZUK initiative. Brazil has placed higher importance on Lusophone Commonwealth over BRICS.

In the months prior to the Vilnius summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin engaged in a trade war with Kyiv, blocking nearly all imports from Ukraine and cutting energy supplies to the country. In turn, this reduced Ukrainian exports by 25 percent and shrank the economy by 1.5 percent. Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17, disallows foreign military bases after 2017. CONSTITUTION OF UKRAINE Adopted at the Fifth Session of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on 28 June 1996 Article 17 The location of foreign military bases shall not be permitted on the territory of Ukraine. After 2017, Ukraine's constitution is incompatible with foreign military bases hosting either NATO or CSTO. Yanukovych breached the Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17. If Yanukovych didn't sign the military base rental extension, Russia would be kicked out of Crimea. Putin's narrative is false when Yanukovych breached the 1996 Ukraine Constitution's Article 17.

During the 1970 Chilean presidential election, both the United States and the Soviet Union poured money into this election through their intelligence agencies and other sources. 💰KGB money was more precisely targeted. Allende made a personal request for Soviet money through his personal contact, KGB officer Svyatoslav Kuznetsov, who urgently came to Chile from Mexico City to help Allende. The original allocation of money for these elections through the KGB was $400,000, and an additional personal subsidy of $50,000 directly to Allende.[8] It is believed that help from KGB was a decisive factor, because Allende won by a narrow margin of 39,000 votes of a total of the 3 million cast. After the elections, the KGB director Yuri Andropov obtained permission for additional money and other resources from the Central Committee of the CPSU to ensure Allende victory in Congress. In his request on 24 October, he stated that KGB "will carry out measures designed to promote the consolidation of Allende's victory and his election to the post of President of the country".[8] You're a hypocrite.

Respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders. 2. Refrain from the threat or the use of force against Ukraine. 3. Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine to influence their politics. 4. Seek immediate Security Council action to provide assistance to Ukraine if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used". 5. Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against Ukraine. 6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments. China and France gave somewhat weaker individual assurances in separate documents. Russia has exited Budapest Memorandum. Colonel Douglas Macgregor didn't factor in Budapest Memorandum. Douglas Macgregor should be arguing for a proper exit from Budapest Memorandum. Douglas Macgregor is not a diplomat. US and UK are fulfilling points 4 and 6 in accordance with Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum. Budapest Memorandum's security assurances are weaker than NATO's Article V and EU's Article 42.7.

  7768.  @Jake12220  > it would be fine if it joined the European economic union, but not the military Wrong. Date: Jan. 7, 2010 Yanukovych: Ukraine will remain a neutral state. "It’s certain that Ukraine was and will be non-aligned state… We strive neither to join NATO nor the [CIS]CSTO [Collective Security Treaty Organization]. We’ll maintain a neutral status," Yanukovych said in an interview with the Komsomolskaya Pravda in Ukraine newspaper. -------- The trigger for Euromaidan was Yanukovych initiated non-neutrality policies such as joining a trade block instead of executing Switzerland-style neutrality. UK leaving the EU and joining CPTPP proves freedom of association. Before Euromaidan, Russia, however, has successfully used political and economic leverage to dissuade Ukraine from signing the E.U. deal. In the months prior to the Vilnius summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin engaged in a trade war with Kiev, blocking nearly all imports from Ukraine and cutting energy supplies to the country. In turn, this reduced Ukrainian exports by 25 percent and shrank the economy by 1.5 percent. Some trade background for the context From Tradebarrier Index (lower score = less trade barriers) New Zealand's tariff score is 2.92 Australia's tariff score is 3.03 UK's tariff score is 3.94 (after Brexit) Japan's tariff score is 4.05 US's tariff score is 4.54 Germany's tariff score is 4.88 EU's tariff score is 4.88 Russia's tariff score is 6.16 <-------- China's tariff score is 6.8 <------ Russia wants to maintain its higher trade protectionist policies.

Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security between the United States and Japan's Article 5 commits the United States to defend Japan if it is attacked by a third party. 2. Taiwan, the US demanded to halt Taiwanese nuclear weapons R&D. US and Taiwan have a military weapons supply agreement under the Taiwan Relations Act. The act states that "the United States will make available to Taiwan such defense articles and defense services in such quantity as may be necessary to enable Taiwan to maintain a sufficient self-defense capabilities". 3.

Oxford-AstraZeneca company today reached a $750 million agreement with CEPI and Gavi to support the manufacturing, procurement and distribution of 300 million doses of the potential vaccine, with delivery starting by the end of the year. In addition, AstraZeneca reached a licensing agreement with SII to supply one billion doses for low-and-middle-income countries, with a commitment to provide 400 million before the end of 2020. Under the arrangement, the Serum Institute of India (SSI) will produce 1 billion doses under licence from AstraZeneca for India and low-income countries. The Oxford-AZ deal includes the potential for non-exclusive, royalty-free licences to be offered to manufacturers to support production that is free-of-charge, at-cost, or at cost with limited margin supply. A bilateral licensing deal is in effect between Oxford/AZ and the Serum Institute India (SII). Australia paid $2.2 billion USD for Novavax's 40 million vaccine doses, Pfizer/BioNTech 10 million vaccine doses with a total of 134 million doses from four COVID-19 vaccines. The cost difference between Australia and India shows a large-scale discount given by UK's Oxford university and AstraZeneca. Unlike AstraZeneca, Pfizer/BioNTech didn't provide the vaccines at-cost. Pfizer had shipped around 430 million Corminaty doses to 91 countries at May 2021. The supply deals have resulted in a massive financial haul: Pfizer reported $3.5 billion in global Corminaty sales for the first quarter 2021. Pfizer and BioNTech will provide an additional 500 million doses of their Covid-19 vaccine to the U.S. government to be donated to lower-income countries. Australia's total Pfizer doses are 125 million, and Australia has purchased more than 280 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines. Australia covers Oceania and parts of the South East Asia region. UK (for India, Africa), US (for South America, Africa), and Australia (for Oceania and parts of South East Asia) cover their respective interest area.

On 24 April 2013, the district court of The Hague sentenced Dutch businessman Frans van Anraat to payment of damages to the victims of mustard-gas attacks in Iraq and Iran in the 1980s 2. Date: March 2017 Kurdistan’s Interior Minister said on Tuesday the Regional Government since its formation had demanded from the federal government to pay compensation to the families of Kurdish victims who suffered genocide, killing, and displacement from the former Iraqi regime. Rebar Ahmed stressed during the Parliament session that in 2014 “we decided to announce Halabja as a governorate,… but perhaps the big problem facing Halabja is that Iraq is not yet ready to recognize it as a governorate. Therefore, the federal government did not allocate a financial budget for it.” Ahmed continued that when the first Kurdish delegation went to Baghdad, it delivered the Prime Minister a request to compensate the victims of the people of Kurdistan with 380 billion dollars for the crimes committed by Saddam Hussein's regime in Halabja, Anfal and to Barzanis, Faili Kurds, and all victims of Baath crimes. The Halabja chemical attack, also known as the Halabja Massacre or Bloody Friday was a massacre of Kurdish people that took place on 16 March 1988, during the closing days of the Iran–Iraq War in the Kurdish city of Halabja in Iraqi Kurdistan. The attack was part of the Al-Anfal Campaign in Kurdistan, as well as part of the Iraqi Army's attempt to repel the Iranian Operation Zafar 7. It took place 48 hours after the capture of the town by the Iranian Army. A United Nations (UN) medical investigation concluded that mustard gas was used in the attack, along with unidentified nerve agents. The incident was the largest chemical weapons attack directed against a civilian-populated area in history, killing between 3,200 and 5,000 people and injuring 7,000 to 10,000 more, most of them civilians. Preliminary results from surveys of the affected region showed an increased rate of cancer and birth defects in the years afterward. The Halabja attack has been officially defined by the Supreme Iraqi Criminal Tribunal as a genocidal massacre against the Kurdish people in Iraq

During World War II, the Soviet Union took parts of the Moldavian ASSR, which was dissolved, and of the Kingdom of Romania's Bessarabia to form the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic in 1940. The Moldavian SSR, organised by a decision of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR on 2 August 1940, was formed out of a part of Bessarabia (taken from Romania on 28 June, after the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact) and out of a part of the Moldavian ASSR roughly equivalent to present-day Transnistria. Transnistria was a product of NAZI-Germany's and USSR's Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact.

Both Marxists and Nazis have the doctrine of envy and socialism for their favorite group of people against an undesired group of people.

Without NATO (and the U.S.), Germany would have done it alone and we would have another WW1 trigger i.e. Russia would have declared war against Germany as in WWI. Germany used NATO with North America's raw material security insurance to further its own interest when it failed in WW1's goals. The shopkeeper's inherent self-interest still exists and Germany has learned to drag the US into its adventures. Decoupling North America's raw material security guarantees from mainland Europe will enable Russia to win any war of attrition against Germany! On the other side, Russia was meddling in Australia's Antarctica interest that caused Australia to enlist EU support. Russia was meddling in New Zealand's Antarctica interest that caused New Zealand to enlist US support.

  7857.  @andrewlankford9634  Born in Trier, Germany, Marx studied law and philosophy at the universities of Bonn and Berlin. He married German theatre critic and political activist Jenny von Westphalen in 1843. Due to his political publications, Marx became stateless.

  7858.  @andrewlankford9634  In 1841, Germany : As Marx and Bauer were both atheists, in March 1841 they began plans for a journal entitled Archiv des Atheismus (Atheistic Archives), but it never came to fruition. In 1842, Germany : Marx moved to Cologne in 1842, where he became a journalist, writing for the radical newspaper Rheinische Zeitung (Rhineland News), expressing his early views on socialism and his developing interest in economics. In 1843, Marx became co-editor of a new, radical left-wing Parisian newspaper, the Deutsch-Französische Jahrbücher (German-French Annals), then being set up by the German activist Arnold Ruge to bring together German and French radicals. Therefore Marx and his wife moved to Paris in October 1843. On 28 August 1844, Marx met the German socialist Friedrich Engels at the Café de la Régence, beginning a lifelong friendship. An outline of "Marxism" had definitely formed in the mind of Karl Marx by late 1844. In 1845, after receiving a request from the Prussian king, the French government shut down Vorwärts!, with the interior minister, François Guizot, expelling Marx from France.[93] At this point, Marx moved from Paris to Brussels, where he hoped to once again continue his critical studies of study of capitalism and political economy. Unable either to stay in France or to move to Germany, Marx decided to emigrate to Brussels in Belgium in February 1845. However, to stay in Belgium he had to pledge not to publish anything on the subject of contemporary politics. In Brussels, Marx associated with other exiled socialists from across Europe, including Moses Hess, Karl Heinzen and Joseph Weydemeyer. In April 1845, Engels moved from Barmen in Germany to Brussels to join Marx and the growing cadre of members of the League of the Just now seeking home in Brussels. France and Germany kicked out Karl Marx due to his political views .

Few people realize the German kaiser was also involved: He gave aid to the Bolsheviks in 1917.

  7861. Great Britain shared the general objective of the Monroe Doctrine, and even wanted to declare a joint statement to keep other European powers from further colonizing the New World. The British feared their trade with the New World would be harmed if the other European powers further colonized it. In fact, for many years after the doctrine took effect, Britain, through the Royal Navy, was the sole nation enforcing it, the U.S. lacking sufficient naval capability. The U.S. resisted a joint statement because of the recent memory of the War of 1812; however, the immediate provocation was the Russian Ukase of 1821 asserting rights to the Pacific Northwest and forbidding non-Russian ships from approaching the coast. Great Britain actually agreed and enforced Monroe Doctrine before the US created its own powerful navy.

China Negative List 2020 Let's focus Category 2: Mining 5. Investment in rare earth, radioactive minerals, tungsten exploration, mining, and mineral processing is prohibited. China has invested in mining companies in Australia and the US. From mining.com/web/china-locking-critical-resources-uss-backyard/ Rare earth robbery In 2016 Molycorp’s Mountain Pass Mine in California was shut down because it couldn’t compete with the low rare earth oxide prices coming out of China – which has cornered the market in REOs with about 95% of the world’s production. The timing was bad because Molycorp had just invested $1.25 billion to expand the light rare earths facility. It was forced into bankruptcy, until last summer when an investor group with ties to the Chinese government bought the mine for $20.5 million, beating out American bidders including ERP Strategic Minerals. https://graphitepublications.com/will-chinas-outrageous-rare-earth-monopoly-persist/ China's rare earth near-monopoly was built on SOE (state-own enterprise) which driven private competitors from the market. Second, importing countries have been concerned with the agglutination of Chinese mining companies in what appears to be a calculated move to make China’s monopoly even more monopolistic. Most prominently, Bao Gang Rare Earth (BGRE), a state-owned REE company forcibly merged with four smaller companies and numerous smaller companies were shut down to create a monopoly in Northern China which accounts for two-thirds of China’s output. Moreover, China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) decreed minimum production thresholds for domestic companies in early August 2012, essentially truncating the smallest REE producers as well as with 20% of China’s rare earths capacity. Third, Chinese companies have determinedly acted to protect their monopoly by buying potential international rivals. Lynas Corp., an Australian company displayed plans to open a new REE mine when in May 2009, a company owned by the Chinese government swooped in with a $366 million bid and bought a majority stake in it. --------- Australian OR American mining companies CAN NOT DO THE SAME THING IN CHINA It's a no-brainer when countries like Australia impose restrict investment reciprocity against China.

Replace "European culture" with "East Asian" culture and the conclusion is the same. Your stereotyping reveals your own racist viewpoint. Eastern Europeans are NOT wealthy like in Western Europe.

There are about 800,000 individuals that identify themselves as Aboriginals which is enough for a small city like the Gold Coast. Australia has about 26 million population. For example, Mt Warning was a popular tourist destination and Wollumbin Consultative Group (WCG) closed it! The Wollumbin tribe is economically foolish to stop tourist income.

It is called T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1— or HTLV-1 — and Australia has the highest levels in the world. A distant relative of HIV, it is a blood-borne virus that can be sexually transmitted or passed from mother to child. The virus can lead to inflammation of the skin, eyes and lungs. "You're also at risk of developing things like leukemia, so blood cancer, and becoming disabled through spinal cord injuries," researcher Joel Liddle said. "Once your pro-viral load is high, you're at a high risk of poor health." Researchers said, in most cases, leukaemia caused by the virus could be "rapidly fatal". Researchers from the Baker Institute for Heart and Diabetes in Alice Springs estimated 45 percent of Indigenous adults in central Australia had HTLV-1 . "In remote Australia, it's so out of sight, out of mind with a lot of things, health is just one of those things," Mr Liddle said. One of the difficulties with this virus is that most of those who have HTLV-1, don't know they have it, and a vast number of Aboriginal communities have never been tested. "I think there's probably confusion and a little bit of anger, too. People [question] why haven't they been told about this," Mr Liddle said. "There's a lot of reasons to breastfeed. Prolonged breastfeeding may be something that could be addressed but that's up to Aboriginal people to decide." For Mr Liddle, an Arrernte man, a response to high rates of HTLV-1 demands a delicate approach, with intensive education work delivered in Aboriginal languages. "I think there's a lot of work to do, certainly I think at the moment, what I see as our main thing is to engage sensitively around the issues because we're dealing with people's health, and all the things and complexities that are going on in remote communities, so we have to be really mindful of that." ------ This ancient virus is related to HIV( i.e. HTLV-1) and reduces an adult's life span. Aboriginals have the highest HTLV-1 infection rates in the world. To fix this issue, non-Aboriginal R&D will be needed to cure this ancient issue, promote safe sex culture (i.e. change culture), and practise monogamy (i.e. change culture).

  7964.  @soreeyez  Under the Trump administration, the US has formally withdrawn from a key nuclear treaty with Russia. The Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF) was signed by US President Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev in 1987. It banned missiles with ranges between 500 and 5,500 km (310-3,400 miles). But earlier this year the US and Nato accused Russia of violating the pact by deploying a new type of cruise missile, which Moscow has denied. The Americans said they had evidence that Russia had deployed a number of 9M729 missiles - known to Nato as SSC-8. This accusation was then put to Washington's Nato allies, which all backed the US claim. "Russia is solely responsible for the treaty's demise," Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said in a statement on Friday. "With the full support of our Nato allies, the United States has determined Russia to be in material breach of the treaty, and has subsequently suspended our obligations under the treaty," he added. Russia's foreign ministry confirmed the INF treaty was "formally dead" in a statement carried by state-run Ria Novosti news agency.

  7965.  @soreeyez  >globalists EU listen to Trump False narrative. The United States remained Europe’s top supplier of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in the first 3 months of 2021 as it continued to gain market share at the expense of Russia and Qatar, Europe’s second- and third-largest sources of LNG, according to the EU Commission’s latest European Gas Market Report. The US supplied 24% (4.2 Bcm) of the EU’s overall LNG imports (17 Bcm in Q1 2021); Russia placed second at 21% (3.7 Bcm); and Qatar was third at 18% (3.1 Bcm), the EU Commission reported in early July. When compared to Q4 2020, the US picked up 2% market share from January to March this year, while Russia bested Qatar to become Europe’s second-largest LNG supplier. Nigeria placed fourth, followed by Algeria and Trinidad and Tobago. A review of EU Commission reports dating back to 2019 reveals a steady quarter-to-quarter decline in Europe’s LNG purchases while it also documents the growing rivalry between the US and Russia, Qatar’s fall from dominance, and the emergence of the US as Europe’s top LNG supplier starting Q4 2019. The EU is the world’s third-largest LNG market, though its imports amounted to only about half that of Japan (36 Bcm) and China (32 Bcm) in Q1 2021. European gas consumption rose 7.6% to 132 Bcm in Q1 based on a year-on-year comparison. The commission noted that demand for gas as fuel to generate electricity rose 3.4%, also year-on-year (increasing by 4.9 TWh.) ------ January 29, 2021 Today, the new liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal on the island of Krk in Croatia and its connecting pipeline have been officially inaugurated by the prime Minister of Croatia, Andrej Plenković. The construction of the new LNG terminal and Omišalj-Zlobin gas pipeline, connecting it to the Croatian gas transmission system, have received a total of €124 million EU funding through the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF). ---- June 24, 2020 WARSAW, June 24 (Reuters) - Poland has signed contracts worth 1.9 billion zlotys ($483 million) to expand its liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal in Swinoujscie on the Baltic Sea to 8.3 billion cubic metres (bcm) by 2023 from 5 bcm now in response to increasing domestic demand. An LNG unit of Poland’s gas infrastructure operator Gaz-System and the ports of Szczecin and Swinoujscie on Wednesday signed a contract with a consortium of Porr and TGE Gas Engineering on the expansion project. “The terminal gives us the flexibility of receiving gas from different parts of the world,” Piotr Naimski, a minister responsible for energy infrasructure, told a news conference.

FYI, the US has more than 110,000 troops in mainland Europe (EUCOM, United States European Command) which are similar to the year 2005 numbers. Starting from 63,000 troops in Jan 2022 to more than 110,000 troops in late March 2022. Western armed Ukraine has bog down the Russians while the US builds up their EUCOM troop numbers. US has more than 45,000 JAVELINS, 150,000 logistics trucks, and 125,000 Humvees. The US can "zergling rush" the Russians. US still has older LAWs anti-tank weapons in stockpiles.

And indeed, many of the Fidesz government’s actions since 2010 have been troubling. Fidesz’s influence on the media is one of the most-cited criticisms of Hungary’s flawed democracy. Orbán’s allies have purchased private media networks with loans from state banks and instituted pro-Fidesz editorial stances. Government-controlled media councils have also refused to grant broadcasting licenses to networks that are critical of the party. Orbán’s government also came under fire for passing a 2012 law that would have required Hungarians to register before elections in order to vote, but the constitutional courts struck the move down. In response, Fidesz passed reforms that limited the power of the constitutional courts. ---- Economist Intelligence Unit’s Democracy Index scores Full democracy Australia = 8.90 Netherlands = 8.88 Germany = 8.67 Japan = 8.15 United Kingdom = 8.10 Flawed democracy United States = 7.85 Poland = 6.80 Hungary = 6.50 Try again.

Add to that the absorption of carbon dioxide in continental Australia to the carbon dioxide adsorption of 2,500,000 square kilometres of continental shelf waters and Australia sequesters some five times as much carbon dioxide as it emits. Australia does more than its share of the heavy lifting for global sequestration of carbon dioxide. Australia’s net contribution to global atmospheric carbon dioxide is negative. We are already at Net Zero. This is validated by the net carbon dioxide flux estimates from the IBUKI satellite carbon dioxide data set.

  7994.  @marclang7431  Both seed oil farms compete against human food farms for fertile land resources. Biofuel adds extra demand for existing farming production. The UK is not self-sufficient in food production. The United Kingdom consumed 57.3 million metric tons of oil in 2021. All UK crops used as biofuels 2019: 722,000 tonnes at 0.3% arable area. 2020: 605,000 tonnes at 0.6% arable area. To cover 57.3 million tons of consumption, 24% to 56% of the UK's arable area needs to be allocated toward biofuel production. It would need nuclear power to produce bio-crude oil from the ocean technology to reduce the extra demand on arable farm areas. Australia has the tech to produce bio-crude oil from bio-plant waste and it's currently producing bio-jet fuel. The UK does not have its empire to cover the gap.

At least the UK is developing Lithium mines along with North Sea oil/gas, nuclear power, and renewables. Do everything is best for energy self-sufficiency goals.

  7999.  @matthewspry4217  Role in emission cheating software. In 2006, Volkswagen executives asked Bosch for help in developing software for their emission defeat devices. Volkswagen is one of Bosch's biggest customers. Volkswagen engineers provided detailed specifications to Bosch, which wrote the necessary code. Bosch was apparently concerned about the legality of the software and asked Volkswagen to assume responsibility if the fraud was discovered, but Volkswagen refused. Starting in 2008, Bosch supplied approximately 17 million motor control and mixture control devices containing illegal software to various manufacturers both domestically and globally. With such software, the automobiles fitted with Bosch's devices emitted more nitrogen oxides than allowed under regulations. On 1 February 2017, Bosch agreed to pay consumers in the United States $327.5 million as compensation for its role in devising the software. Bosch also provided emissions software for Fiat Chrysler's 3.0 L V6 diesel engine used in 100,000 model year 2014–2016 Grand Cherokee SUVs and Ram Trucks and agreed to pay affected consumers $27.5 million as part of a broader settlement in January 2019. In May 2019, Bosch paid another $100 million fine for its connection to the Dieselgate scandal.

Installing canards on SU-30MK reduces its top speed down to mach 1.9 and with clean configuration which is without any external missiles and bombs.

The Hornets have done fairly well, even during 1v1.” WGCDR Jones said Australian pilots were getting a “buzz out of working with a new platform,” but he too declined to offer an opinion on the capabilities of the Flankers. Instead he diplomatically said, “I remain very comfortable that we have the Super Hornet in RAAF service.” GPCAPT Kitcher assessed the Super Hornets as enjoying parity with the Flankers, but that “a pilot’s skill is the most important factor”. Your video link's https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6_XtP8Rakg argument with Super Hornet F/A-18F (two seat, higher empty weight) model being BOMBERS are comical when it's on par with Indonesian Flankers.

I saw it first hand on a Red Flag mission in an F15D against a series of fifth-generation F22s. We were actually in the red air. In five engagements we never knew who had hit us and we never even saw the other aeroplane…. After that particular mission I went back and had a look at the tapes on the F22, and the difference in the situational awareness in our two cockpits was just so fundamentally different. That is the key to fifth-generation. That is where I have trouble with the APA analysis…. To me that is key: it is not only stealth; it is the combination of the EOS and the radar to be able to build a comprehensive picture. In that engagement I talked about at Nellis, in Red Flag, the ability to be in a cockpit with a God’s-eye view of what is going on in the world was such an advantage over a fourth-generation fighter – and arguably one of the best fourth-generation fighters in existence, the F15. But even with a DRFM jamming pipe , we still had no chance in those particular engagements. And at no time did any of the performance characteristics that you are talking about have any relevance to those five engagements.” ----- When compared to RAAF, nationalinterest.org's TNI Staff has no experience between F-22's AMRAAM against F-15D with DRFM jamming pipe . https://www.reddit.com/r/F35Lightning/comments/8a66ta/out_of_the_shadows_rnlaf_experiences_with_the/ Out Of The Shadows: RNLAF experiences with the F-35A - Combat Aircraft Magazine May 2018 1.

Dutch F-35 Block 3F, "F-35 sits somewhere in between the F-16 and F/A-18 when it comes to within visual range manoeuvring'". 3. Lightest empty weight F-16A MLU air-superority model needs to be clean (no weapons, no external tanks) to make visual range dogfight interesting against combat loaded F-35A Block 3F. AIM-120D has two-way data link with fighters like F-35 which uses launching fighter's AESA radar, EO-DAS sensors and passive radar sensors on it's wing edge. 2. F-35A Block 4.3 has six AIM-120 type missiles for its internal weapons bay. Most F-35s are beyond Block 3F. 3. Japan has exchanged its micro-AESA radar seeker with UK's Meteor missile. 4. F-35 supports AIM-132 IR with it's internal weapons bay instead of AIM-9X. USAF has other plans with F-35's A2A missiles e.g. Raytheon Peregrine. https://www.raytheon.com/capabilities/products/peregrine-air-air-missile Raytheon Peregrine missiles doubles the weapon bay's payload for F-35 and has higher range when compared to AIM-120D. 5. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3b-b762QRY Super Hornet's high AoA+minimum turn radius advantage holding it's own against F-15's high energy turn rate advantage dogfight example http://nettsteder.regjeringen.no/kampfly/2015/11/20/a-fly-f-35-erfaringer-fra-den-forste-uka/ More F-16 vs F-35 from Norwegian pilot.

  8046.  @aleksandarmanojlovic1189  Wrong. Only USAF F-35A Block 3F model has 9G with 20 to 30 percent common parts with other models. You're a hypocrite when Flankers has different models and roles e.g. air-force and navy model variants. Basic wing loading via empty weight without factoring forward/rear body and vortex lift factors. F-35A Empty weight: 28,999 lb (Year 2015). Wing area: 460 ft² Wing loading: 63.04 lbs/ sq feet. F-16C Block 52 Wing area: 300 ft² Empty weight: 18,900 lb Wing loading: 63 lbs/ sq feet. F-35A's empty weight is 1.54X scaled from F-16C. F-35A's wing area is 1.53X scaled from F-16C. F-35A's 43000 lbf thrust is 1.50X scaled from F-16C's 28600 lbf. There's a near straight 1.5X scaling between F16C to F-35A on basic wing loading, engine thrust and empty weight. F-35A's wing area and empty weight wing loading target are influenced by F-35A's weight growth and F-16C Block 50/52's empty weight wing loading F-35A was spec'ed as F-16C Block 50 with Hornet's angle of attack. From http://breakingdefense.com/2014/06/gen-mike-hostage-on-the-f-35-no-growlers-needed-when-war-starts/3/ General Mike Hostage On The F-35 vs F-16 The F-35, he says, has “at least” the maneuverability and thrust and weight of the F-16.

  8047.  @aleksandarmanojlovic1189  From http://www.warisboring.com/2009/02/10/russian-super-fighter-not-so-scary/ F-35 critic Pierre Sprey comments on Flankers 1. The Su-30MK is simply another modification of the Su-27, a not-very-high-performing Russian imitation of our F-15 that had its prototype flight in 1977. The new version is significantly heavier and has poorer dogfight acceleration and turn than the original, mainly because of all the weighty and draggy gadgetry (e.g., canards, vectored thrust nozzles) added to allow these spectacular maneuvers. 2. The spectacular maneuvers … are purely and simply airshow tricks, intended to wow the gullible. Not one of these maneuvers has any application to combat, because they can only be performed at speeds well under 150 knots. At that speed in a dogfight against any competent pilot, your life expectancy is measured in seconds. 3. My guess is that there are no more than six pilots in all of Russia that can actually fly these maneuvers — and that they have been in training for years in order to trot out these tricks at international airshows. 4. Executing these wonderful tricks at the Paris airshow with these Olympic-athlete type of pilots, the Russians have crashed two of the Su-30 “Wunderwaffen,” one in 1999 and one in 2006. 5. The Russians have, in fact, palmed off versions of the Wunderwaffen to the Chinese, as well as to the Indians, Malaysians, Algerians, and the dreaded Venezuelans. Despite these triumphs of Russian salesmanship. I’m not losing much sleep over the specter of the awesome Su-30 in the hands of these superb air forces. The more of these turkeys the Russkies sell, the longer the now-ancient F-16 (designed in 1972) will reign supreme as the world’s best fighter.

  8053. ​ @aleksandarmanojlovic1189  F-35A has a different wing, body, and engine count design from F-22A. In terms of wing edge and tail design, F-35A and F-35C follow YF-22 which is different from F-22A which has design influence YF-23. US didn't change F-35A and F-35C primary F-35 model number regardless of the wing area, tail size and CG differences. F-35A and F-35C only have 20 to 30 percent common parts. F-16V has internal structural changes from F-16C e.g. 8000 hours to 12000 hours service life which points to improve sustain G load. Newer F-16s has RAM coating since Block 40. The latest USAF F-16 update includes "Glass Gen V" RAM coating from F-35 program. F-16A Block 15 has horizontal tail enlargement. F-16 has at least three engines thrust upgrades. F-16 with GE engine since Block 30 has a larger inlet. F-16 has many avionics updates with the latest AESA radar being lighter than the old version. For India, only Lockheed has followed Russian style model number upgrade when aircraft updates are applied e.g. F-21 which is renamed F-16V Block 70/72.

  8055.  @aleksandarmanojlovic1189  One of the differences between SU-30 and SU-35 comes with its radar i.e. radar upgrades on SU-30 leads to installing canards since heavier radar can change CG which can degrade flight performance. Canards are not required for SU-35. Again, for radar, there cooling and electrical feed differences between SU-30 and SU-35. For USN, F/A-18E has radar changes from Block 1's non-AESA to Block 2's AESA. F/A-18A has center body replacement to improve combat performance from F/A-18C. For USAF, there are internal structural differences between 8000 life hours F-15C to 20,000 life hours F-15EX. Initial F-15A models have 4000 life hours. F-15EX's longer service life enables longer sustain G loads. There are several AESA radar upgrades across lower life hours usage F-15C and F-15Es. F-15EX replaces high life hours usage airframe F-15C. F-15EX or "F-15 Advance" has a Hornet style digital fly-by-wire system i.e. Russians changed MiG 29 into MiG 35 with a similar fly-by-wire upgrade. Boeing is not allowed to change F-15 model numbers due to new model numbers requires fly-off competition rules. There are G load differences between F-15A and F-15C models. There are flight envelope differences with F-15C and F-15E-1 (29K lbf engine version). The majority of F-15A units are ditched in the boneyard. There no standardize Block builds like F-16/F-22/F-35 for F-15. F-22A has reached Block 30/35 F-16V has reached Block 70/72 F-35A has nearly reached Block 4 Lot 15. F-35C and F-35B models have not reached Block 3F. F-35A's Block 3F flight control software can't be applied for F-35C due to flight dynamic changes from different wing and tail. F-35C has a different vortex lift generation design from F-35A. For future Block upgrades, F-35 program is currently executing durability testing for F-135 engine upgrades.

  8067. The Chile example, USSR has supported its Cuban proxy that in turn supported Marxist Salvador Allende. You're a hypocrite. Marxist Salvador Allende clashed with the right-wing parties that controlled Congress and with the judiciary. On 11 September 1973, the military moved to oust Allende in a coup d'état. Marxist Salvador Allende's presidential branch effectively declared war on the judiciary and right-wing majority governed Congress branches. During the 1970 Chilean presidential election, both the United States and the Soviet Union poured money into this election through their intelligence agencies and other sources. 💰KGB money was more precisely targeted. Allende made a personal request for Soviet money through his personal contact, KGB officer Svyatoslav Kuznetsov, who urgently came to Chile from Mexico City to help Allende. The original allocation of money for these elections through the KGB was $400,000, and an additional personal subsidy of $50,000 directly to Allende.[8] It is believed that help from KGB was a decisive factor, because Allende won by a narrow margin of 39,000 votes of a total of the 3 million cast. After the elections, the KGB director Yuri Andropov obtained permission for additional money and other resources from the Central Committee of the CPSU to ensure Allende victory in Congress. In his request on 24 October, he stated that KGB "will carry out measures designed to promote the consolidation of Allende's victory and his election to the post of President of the country". In your argument's summary, the USSR-supported regime change intervention is okay while the US intervention is bad. Your argument is hypocritical.

In the months prior to the Vilnius summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin engaged in a trade war with Kyiv, blocking nearly all imports from Ukraine and cutting energy supplies to the country. In turn, this reduced Ukrainian exports by 25 percent and shrank the economy by 1.5 percent. Read the Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17 that disallows foreign military bases after 2017. CONSTITUTION OF UKRAINE Adopted at the Fifth Session of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on 28 June 1996 Article 17 The location of foreign military bases shall not be permitted on the territory of Ukraine. Yanukovych breached the Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17. After 2017, Ukraine's constitution is incompatible with foreign military bases hosting either NATO or CSTO. If Yanukovych didn't sign the military base rental extension, Russia would be kicked out of Crimea. Putin's narrative is FALSE. Your argument, Russian intervention before Euromaidian is good while non-Russian intervention is bad. You're a hypocrite.

  8088.  @nextlifeonearth  (D) concerning memory as the direct target of ALU instructions is the only aspect that's central to what distinguishes the x86 pseudo-RISC kernel from a true RISC kernel. If some person complaining about x86 doesn't mention this, his or her argument is half-baked. Here, again, Chris was not as forthcoming as he ought to have been. He actually comments on write ports to the register file as a pertinent modern design issue with complex trade-offs. x86 requires fewer write ports through its unique capacity to exploit the dcache as part of a (hugely) extended register file. The rmw instruction family in x86 is a bit like zero page in 6502/6809, as both of these allow memory to substitute for registers you don't have at far less cost than you would otherwise experience. The rmw instructions form a computed address on the fly—without committing this to a named register—and then operate on the memory location (both a read and a write), also without committing this to a named register file. This is why the register colouring algorithm for the original x86 ever survived to live another day, despite the gross inadequacy of the named register file. What does end up a bit stressed out in silicon is what the Pentium Pro used to call the MOB: memory order buffer. A lot more addresses need to be checked for ordering requirements (mostly use of overlapping memory addresses in close succession). I once read a discussion by a core member of the Athlon design team who said that this was almost a blessing in disguise. In a pure RISC design, you have to perform virtual address translation twice: once on read, again on write. In implicitly fused rmw on x86, you only need to perform virtual address translation once. And so the final score: a busier (and hotter) MOB, but a less busy (and less hot) TLB.

Since joining the WTO in 2001, China has repeatedly insisted that it will live up to those undertakings made on entry. In particular, the use of currency manipulation has been identified by the US as a breech of the commitment to end price controls for the purposes of protecting domestic industries. This became a major political issue from 2005 onwards, and has only recently subsided because it is assumed that the RMB is slightly overvalued on the market. Nevertheless, for years it was deliberate policy for the PBoC to accumulate US Dollars and suppress the exchange rate for the RMB, resulting in exactly the price distortions China had committed to eliminate in 2001, and fuelling an enormous trade surplus with the US, which persists and expands to this day. Furthermore TRIPS implementation has been given some effect on paper, but has made little progress when it comes to 'enforcement.' This is (according to the WTO) as recently as February 2015, fully 14 years after TRIPS was supposed to be already in effect. The US Trade Representative produces an annual report to Congress on China's WTO compliance which leaves little room to conclude they have so far lived up to their accession commitments. The most recent several-hundred-page document - produced in December 2015 - recites a long list of small measures, committees established, announcements made and new administrative complications faced, all continuing disputes over an agreement theoretically in effect since 2001. Although, therefore, protectionism is rising around the world, it is also true to say that existing practices of protectionism have not fallen in the way that they should have since China's accession to the WTO in 2001. Because of this lack of progress in easing trade, the extended period of currency manipulation, the lack of observance of TRIPS and the sheer administrative resistance exporters face when trying to get their products into China, we now face of world of highly unbalanced trade, and rising mistrust. And it is this that is leading to rising protectionism; the simple fact that it never went away. ----------------------

Knight divulged a little more information about flying basic fighter manoeuvres (BFM) in an F-35. 'When our envelope was cleared to practise BFM we got the opportunity to fight some fourth-generation fighters. Remember, back the rumors were that the F-35 was a pig. The first time the opponents showed up [in the training area] they had wing tanks along with a bunch of missiles. I guess they figured that being in a dirty configuration wouldn't really matter and that they would still easily outmanoeuvre us. By the end of the week, though, they had dropped their wing tanks, transitioned to a single centerline fuel tank and were still doing everything they could not to get gunned by us. A week later they stripped the jets clean of all external stores, which made the BFM fights interesting, to say the least ---- 1.

  8168. Not all Nordstream pipelines were blown up. Both NS1 and NS2 actually consist of 2 pipelines. After the explosions, one of the NS2 pipes remained functional - technically speaking, because it didn't get approval from Germany. As for Russia's motive to destroy the pipeline: Russia stopped supplying gas via NS due to political reasons (Putin's decision). And Russia was sued for this breach of contracts. Blowing up NordStream can be a way to avoid paying huge fines. Only 2 tubes were ever used, and now 1 is available. If the US wanted to shut down gas, why did they leave 1 tube intact? Don't worry, we know who did it, and why - and it wasn't US.

"It’s certain that Ukraine was and will be non-aligned state… We strive neither to join NATO nor the [CIS]CSTO [Collective Security Treaty Organization]. We’ll maintain a neutral status," Yanukovych said in an interview with the Komsomolskaya Pravda in Ukraine newspaper. -------- The trigger for Euromaidan was Yanukovych initiated non-neutrality policies such as joining a trade block instead of executing Switzerland-style neutrality. Before Euromaidan, Russia, however, has successfully used political and economic leverage to dissuade Ukraine from signing the E.U. deal. In the months prior to the Vilnius summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin engaged in a trade war with Kiev, blocking nearly all imports from Ukraine and cutting energy supplies to the country. In turn, this reduced Ukrainian exports by 25 percent and shrank the economy by 1.5 percent. UK leaving the EU and joining CPTPP proves freedom of association.

Another, Soviet–Ukrainian War occurred between 1917 to 1921, a war between the Ukrainian People's Republic vs the Bolsheviks i.e. Ukrainian Soviet Republic and Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (modern-day Russian Federation). Ukrainian People's Republic is the modern-day Ukraine. This is an "old world" issue.

The total planned portfolio reaching a capacity of 2 GW i.e. 2000 megawatts. According to CEP. Energy CEO Peter Wright, the proposed Hunter Big Battery is eight times the size of the Hornsdale Power Reserve in South Australia (SA)'s upgraded battery farm which is 150 MW/194 MWh grid-connected energy storage system. 2. Origin Energy’s announced that it planned to build a 700 MW battery at the site of its Eraring coal generator also in the NSW Hunter region. 3. Neoen filed planned 500 MW / 1000 MWh big battery. For the state of Victoria 1. Neoen's 300 MW / 450 MWh Victoria Big Battery. 2.

Example IF battery storage has a total generation capacity of 100 megawatts and 129 megawatt-hours of energy storage. This has been described as “capable of powering 50,000 homes”, providing 1 hour & 18 minutes of storage or, more controversially, 2.5 minutes of storage. Idiot Do the math.

HIFAR operated for around 50 years but was retired in January 2007 and replaced by the OPAL reactor. During its life, HIFAR supplied millions of doses of nuclear medicine and provided neutron beams to study the structure of materials. In the 1990s, the Australian and French Governments entered into agreements for France to reprocess HIFAR’s spent nuclear fuel. Reprocessing removed residual uranium and plutonium and made the waste safer to manage. This reprocessed spent fuel was returned to Australia at the end of 2015. This waste is now being temporarily stored by ANSTO at Lucas Heights until a national facility is completed. Australia has accumulated almost 5,000 cubic metres of radioactive waste (around the volume of two Olympic size swimming pools). This does not include uranium mining wastes, which are disposed of at mine sites.

Saddam's Iraq invaded two other countries i.e. Kuwait and Iran. Remember, Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum exchanged Ukraine's nuclear WMD for security assurances from US, UK, and Russia. France and China signed a watered-down Budapest Memorandum. Budapest Memorandum requires Ukraine to join Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty as part of Ukraine's nuclear WMD disarmament. Tucker is ignorant of Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum. Russia has exited Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum. If the US exits from Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum, then Ukraine has the right to develop its WMDs to defend itself against land-grabbing Russian imperialists. Russia does not maintain Ukraine's territorial integrity. Did you know Australia has similar security assurances like Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum and Australia does NOT have a NATO Article V level guarantee with the US? From 1950 to the 1960s, Australia detonated nuclear bombs as a joint partner with the UK. Australia has many Biolabs for agriculture, animal health, human health and 'etc'. Russia has proven WMDs.

  8230.  @teogeorge2203  President Xi's argument is based on historical Imperial China's Ten Great Campaigns. Territorial disputes around Xi's China are based on Imperial China's Ten Great Campaigns. The Ten Great Campaigns (Chinese: 十全武功; pinyin: Shíquán Wǔgōng) were a series of military campaigns launched by the Qing dynasty of China in the mid–late 18th century during the reign of the Qianlong Emperor (r. 1735–1796). They included three to enlarge the area of Qing control in Inner Asia: two against the Dzungars (1755–1757) and the "pacification" of Xinjiang (1758–1759). The other seven campaigns were more in the nature of police actions on frontiers already established: two wars to suppress the Gyalrong of Jinchuan, Sichuan, another to suppress the Taiwanese Aboriginals (1787–88), and four expeditions abroad against the Burmese (1765–1769), the Vietnamese (1788–1789), and the Gurkhas on the border between Tibet and Nepal (1790–1792), with the last counting as two. During the 4th Sino-Burmese Wars starting in 1768, Imperial China invaded the Kingdom of Burma. Burma hired European musketeers and gunners, hence Burma allied itself with the rising French Empire against Imperial China's invasion. In modern times, China's imperialist actions in Vietnam have spread to Vietnam's neighbor i.e. Philippines. The old world conflict zones remain similar in modern times.

  8232. @gamingtideX The Chile example, USSR has supported its Cuban proxy that in turn supported Marxist Salvador Allende. You're a hypocrite. Marxist Salvador Allende clashed with the right-wing parties that controlled Congress and with the judiciary. On 11 September 1973, the military moved to oust Allende in a coup d'état. Marxist Salvador Allende's presidential branch effectively declared war on the judiciary and right-wing majority governed Congress branches. During the 1970 Chilean presidential election, both the United States and the Soviet Union poured money into this election through their intelligence agencies and other sources. 💰KGB money was more precisely targeted. Allende made a personal request for Soviet money through his personal contact, KGB officer Svyatoslav Kuznetsov, who urgently came to Chile from Mexico City to help Allende. The original allocation of money for these elections through the KGB was $400,000, and an additional personal subsidy of $50,000 directly to Allende.[8] It is believed that help from KGB was a decisive factor, because Allende won by a narrow margin of 39,000 votes of a total of the 3 million cast. After the elections, the KGB director Yuri Andropov obtained permission for additional money and other resources from the Central Committee of the CPSU to ensure Allende victory in Congress. In his request on 24 October, he stated that KGB "will carry out measures designed to promote the consolidation of Allende's victory and his election to the post of President of the country". --------------- In your argument's summary, the USSR-supported regime change intervention is okay while the US intervention is bad. Your argument is hypocritical.

  8236.  @Keiz1122  From Graphite Publications article from 2010. Title: Will Chinas Outrageous Rare Earth Monopoly Persist Year Date: 2010. Heavy importers of these REEs such as the U.S., Germany, and Japan believe these rationales disguise China s true exploitative motive: to force foreign factories to move to China to keep their costs low and their supply high Second, importing countries have been concerned with the agglutination of Chinese mining companies in what appears to be a calculated move to make China s monopoly even more monopolistic. Most prominently, Bao Gang Rare Earth (BGRE), a state-owned REE company forcibly merged with four smaller companies and numerous smaller companies were shut down to create a monopoly in Northern China which accounts for two-thirds of China s output. Moreover, China s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) decreed minimum production thresholds for domestic companies in early August 2012, essentially truncating the smallest REE producers as well as with 20% of China s rare earths capacity. Third, Chinese companies have determinedly acted to protect their monopoly by buying potential international rivals. Lynas Corp., an Australian company displayed plans to open a new REE mine when in May 2009, a company owned by the Chinese government swooped in with a $366 million bid and bought a majority stake in it.

Before Euromaidan, Russia started a trade war against Ukraine, forcing Yanukovych to sign a base rental extension agreement that breached Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17 disallows foreign military bases after 2017.

CONSTITUTION OF UKRAINE Adopted at the Fifth Session of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on 28 June 1996 Article 17 The location of foreign military bases shall not be permitted on the territory of Ukraine. Yanukovych breached the Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17. After 2017, Ukraine's constitution is incompatible with foreign military bases hosting either NATO or CSTO. If Yanukovych didn't sign the military base rental extension, Russia would be kicked out of Crimea. Putin's narrative is FALSE. Putin's pressure caused Yanukovych to make a mistake.

  8288. From Amnesty Bangladesh: Reveal whereabouts of disappeared journalist, end repression Bangladesh must put an end to the wave of repression in the country that has seen journalists being targeted and others threatened, Amnesty International said today, as the human rights organization called on the government to promptly amend the draconian Digital Security Act in compliance with international human rights law. Three journalists including a prominent newspaper editor have been accused of “deteriorating law and order” under the Act and one journalist has been brutally tortured this year for producing critical reports. Another journalist accused under the Act is feared to be a victim of enforced disappearance. More than 1,000 cases have been filed under the Act since it was put into implementation in October 2018. “Journalists in Bangladesh are being silenced under the draconian Digital Security Act. Recent cases against journalists, including a prominent newspaper editor, a journalist who was tortured and a newspaper editor feared to be a victim of enforced disappearance are chilling reminders that freely expressing one’s views in Bangladesh can come at a very high cost,” said Saad Hammadi, South Asia Campaigner at Amnesty International. Enforced disappearance Police have denied any information about the whereabouts of journalist Shafiqul Islam Kajol, who has not been seen or heard from since 10 March 2020, a day after police registered a case against him and 31 others under Bangladesh’s troubling Digital Security Act for publishing “false, offensive and defamatory” content on Facebook. Despite Bangladesh’s denial of the allegations of enforced disappearances, human rights organisations have repeatedly raised concerns about the practice of unacknowledged detention and enforced disappearances. Last year, the local human rights organization Odhikar documented at least 34 incidents of alleged enforced disappearances. Eight of them were later found dead, 17 were shown arrested while the fate and whereabouts of the other nine remain unknown. When reviewing Bangladesh’s initial report on its implementation of the Convention Against Torture, the UN Committee Against Torture regretted that Bangladesh did not provide any information about the status of investigations into allegations of enforced disappearances. “No amount of consolation can heal the trauma and anxiety lived by the families of the victims of enforced disappearance, without knowledge about what happened to their loved ones. We urge the Bangladesh government to heed the appeals of the families, look at their suffering and urgently launch investigations to determine their whereabouts,” said Saad Hammadi. Shrinking space for freedom of expression Shafiqul Islam Kajol is accused of “deteriorating law and order” by publishing “false, offensive and defamatory” content on Facebook in a case against prominent newspaper editor Matiur Rahman Chowdhury and 30 others under the draconian Digital Security Act. The law gives the power to security agencies to hold individuals indefinitely in pretrial detention. If convicted, they could each face up to seven years in jail. More than 1,000 cases have been filed under this Act since it was put into implementation in October 2018. The cybercrime tribunal has dismissed more than 200 cases for lacking sufficient evidence into the allegations.

The extra few seconds will de-escalate the situation and may even help your patient. Police officers are all trained in first responder first-aid and will be carrying basic medical supplies. If you quickly explain the situation the attending officers may be able to help your patient on-site, transfer them to the police car for safer transportation to a hospital or in extreme cases even provide an escort for your car. It ultimately depends on the circumstances and the discretion of law enforcement.

In turn, this reduced Ukrainian exports by 25 percent and shrank the economy by 1.5 percent. 2. These are "old world" issues that existed before the US being a superpower. i. 1863–1864 January uprising, Russian Empire crushed Polish, Lithuanian, and Ukrainian insurgents uprising. ii. Soviet–Ukrainian War occurred between 1917 to 1921, a war between the Ukrainian People's Republic vs the Bolsheviks i.e. Ukrainian Soviet Republic and Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (modern-day Russian Federation). iii. 2014, Russo-Ukrainian War.

Marxist Salvador Allende clashed with the right-wing parties that controlled Congress and with the judiciary. On 11 September 1973, the military moved to oust Allende in a coup d'état. Marxist Salvador Allende's presidential branch effectively declared war on the judiciary and right-wing majority governed Congress branches. During the 1970 Chilean presidential election, both the United States and the Soviet Union poured money into this election through their intelligence agencies and other sources. 💰KGB money was more precisely targeted. Allende made a personal request for Soviet money through his personal contact, KGB officer Svyatoslav Kuznetsov, who urgently came to Chile from Mexico City to help Allende. The original allocation of money for these elections through the KGB was $400,000, and an additional personal subsidy of $50,000 directly to Allende.[8] It is believed that help from KGB was a decisive factor, because Allende won by a narrow margin of 39,000 votes of a total of the 3 million cast. After the elections, the KGB director Yuri Andropov obtained permission for additional money and other resources from the Central Committee of the CPSU to ensure Allende victory in Congress. In his request on 24 October, he stated that KGB "will carry out measures designed to promote the consolidation of Allende's victory and his election to the post of President of the country".[8] You're a hypocrite.

  8345.  @Milo19970  Trump's argument that allows its US allies to acquire nuclear weapons enables the US to properly reduce its involvement with multiple defense agreements with its US allies. For example, It was the US with pro-China George Bush Sr as vice president disallowed Taiwan to acquire nuclear weapons. It was the US with the Obama administration), that Japan, Belgium, and Italy reduced their stockpiles of nuclear material. Under the agreement, Japan will ship more than 300kg of plutonium and 200kg of highly enriched uranium (HEU) from its nuclear research site. The material would be enough to build about 40 nuclear warheads. Belgium and Italy also announced agreements with the US on the removal of surplus fissile material. Note the existence of independent nuclear weapons from US allies such as the UK, France, and Israel. The trigger is the 1956 Suez Canal crisis when the Soviets have threaten to nuke Britain, France, and Israel without US nuclear weapons coverage. UK, France, and Israel are examples of when the US withdraws its nuclear weapons coverage.

  8362. Michel Beauregard That's a red herring. Cars are made by multiple smaller parts. https://graphitepublications.com/will-chinas-outrageous-rare-earth-monopoly-persist/ China's rare earth near monopoly was built on SOE (state own enterprise) which driven private competitors from the market. From the article (from 2010) Heavy importers of these REEs such as the U.S., Germany, and Japan believe these rationales disguise China’s true exploitative motive: to force foreign factories to move to China to keep their costs low and their supply high Second, importing countries have been concerned with the agglutination of Chinese mining companies in what appears to be a calculated move to make China’s monopoly even more monopolistic. Most prominently, Bao Gang Rare Earth (BGRE), a state-owned REE company forcibly merged with four smaller companies and numerous smaller companies were shut down to create a monopoly in Northern China which accounts for two-thirds of China’s output. Moreover, China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) decreed minimum production thresholds for domestic companies in early August 2012, essentially truncating the smallest REE producers as well as with 20% of China’s rare earths capacity. Third, Chinese companies have determinedly acted to protect their monopoly by buying potential international rivals. Lynas Corp., an Australian company displayed plans to open a new REE mine when in May 2009, a company owned by the Chinese government swooped in with a $366 million bid and bought a majority stake in it. ---------- http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052748703321004575427050544485366 China Dangles Rare-Earth Resources to Lure Investment BEIJING—China is cautiously using rare-earth resources as bait for foreign investment that could bring in sophisticated technologies that it needs. Industry and government officials have begun talking about a Chinese government plan to offer access to its rare-earth resources—which are used in products such as hybrid-car batteries and missiles and are under strict export restrictions—to get companies including electronics manufacturers and auto makers to set up rare-earth-processing plants in China. ---------- https://theconversation.com/why-china-could-never-sign-on-to-the-trans-pacific-partnership-56361 State-owned enterprises (SOEs) The TPP requires that no subsidies should be provided to an SOE for its international business expansion. The goal: to ensure competition between an SOE and a private enterprise takes place on a level playing field inside the host country. But China’s 150,000 SOEs form the bedrock of the Chinese economy and therefore have certain privileges. About a thousand SOEs are listed in the Shanghai or Shenzhen Stock Exchanges, indicating they are commercial in nature. More than 150 of these are managed by the central SASAC, and the list includes some of the largest companies in the world. The Chinese government assists these SOEs in various ways, including preferential interest rates. Although there have been exceptions under the TPP (for example New Zealand was able to get exemptions for its powerful cooperative Fonterra), it would have been an uphill battle for China to negotiate exemptions for so many of its SOEs engaged in various international operations within TPP member countries. --- CPTPP was designed to be anti-China SOE. CPTPP's nominal GDP for 2018 is $13.06 Trillion (not including interested countries that wants to join CPTPP e.g. UK, South Korea, Colombia). Including UK and SK into CPTPP results in $16 Trillion economy with 619 million population. EU's GDP minus UK has about $16.73 Trillion GDP market. China has $14.09 Trillion GDP.

  8420.  @crushedmarle  India and Pakistan were part of the Islamic Mughal empire. Maratha Empire replaced the Mughal empire. The Maratha Empire was founded in 1674 by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj the Bhosle dynasty. Shivaji Maharaj led resistance efforts to free the Hindus from the Mughals and the Muslim Sultanate of Bijapur and established the rule of the Hindus. The Maratha Empire soon allied with the British East India Company (based in the Bengal Presidency) against Mysore in the Anglo-Mysore Wars. After the British East India Company had suffered defeat against Mysore in the first two Anglo-Mysore Wars, the Maratha cavalry assisted the British in the last two Anglo-Mysore Wars from 1790 onwards, eventually helping the British conquer Mysore in the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War in 1799. After the British East India Company's conquest, however, the Marathas launched frequent raids in Mysore to plunder the region, which they justified as compensation for past losses to Tipu Sultan. Around 1775, the relationship between the British East India Company and Maratha Empire degraded into a hot war, which started by the British East India Company intervening in a succession struggle in Pune. The British Raj was the rule of the British Crown on the Indian subcontinent; it is also called Crown rule in India, or Direct rule in India, and lasted from 1858 to 1947.

  8451. From Reuters, March 17, 2022 CF Industries boosts U.S. fertilizer shipments as war cuts Russian exports CHICAGO, March 16 (Reuters) - CF Industries Holdings (CF.N) is increasing fertilizer shipments to both U.S. coasts from the world's largest nitrogen complex in Louisiana to help offset a decline in exports from Russia after it invaded Ukraine, Chief Executive Tony Will said. Illinois-based CF Industries leased several vessels to transport more fertilizer, mostly liquid nitrogen, from its complex in Donaldsonville, Louisiana, Will told Reuters. The company can ship products up the Mississippi River to the Midwest and load vessels to sail downriver through the Gulf of Mexico to tanks on either coast. "Historically a fair bit of Russian imports have come particularly to the East Coast, and we're trying to make up for that lack of availability by moving our tons over there," Will said. Russia has previously accounted for 15% of U.S. nitrogen imports, said the Fertilizer Institute, an industry group. CF Industries has five U.S. nitrogen manufacturing complexes, along with plants in Canada and the United Kingdom. The company's ability to increase production is limited because it tries to operate plants at their maximum rate all year, Will said.

Yanukovych breached the Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17. After 2017, Ukraine's constitution is incompatible with foreign military bases hosting either NATO or CSTO. If Yanukovych didn't sign the military base rental extension, Russia would be kicked out of Crimea. Putin's narrative is FALSE. Putin's pressure caused Yanukovych to make a mistake.

Your argument with citing implied Australian Aboriginals has returned against you. Hypocrite. Taiwan's independence destination belongs to Taiwanese. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Taiwan Taiwan is contested during Imperial China. Japan had sought to claim sovereignty over Taiwan (known to them as Takasago Koku) since 1592. From 1683 to around 1760, the Qing government limited immigration to Taiwan. Such restriction was relaxed following the 1760s and by 1811 there were more than two million Chinese immigrants on Taiwan. In 1875 Taipeh Prefecture was established, under the jurisdiction of Fujian Province. Also, there had been various conflicts between Chinese immigrants. Most conflicts were between Han from Fujian and Han from Guangdong, between people from different areas of Fujian, between Han and Hakka settlers, or simply between people of different surnames engaged in clan feuds. Because of the strong provincial loyalties held by these immigrants, the Qing government felt Taiwan was somewhat difficult to govern.

  8552. https://graphitepublications.com/will-chinas-outrageous-rare-earth-monopoly-persist/ China's rare earth near monopoly was built on SOE (state own enterprise) which driven private competitors from the market. From the article (from 2010) Heavy importers of these REEs such as the U.S., Germany, and Japan believe these rationales disguise China’s true exploitative motive: to force foreign factories to move to China to keep their costs low and their supply high Second, importing countries have been concerned with the agglutination of Chinese mining companies in what appears to be a calculated move to make China’s monopoly even more monopolistic. Most prominently, Bao Gang Rare Earth (BGRE), a state-owned REE company forcibly merged with four smaller companies and numerous smaller companies were shut down to create a monopoly in Northern China which accounts for two-thirds of China’s output. Moreover, China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) decreed minimum production thresholds for domestic companies in early August 2012, essentially truncating the smallest REE producers as well as with 20% of China’s rare earths capacity. Third, Chinese companies have determinedly acted to protect their monopoly by buying potential international rivals. Lynas Corp., an Australian company displayed plans to open a new REE mine when in May 2009, a company owned by the Chinese government swooped in with a $366 million bid and bought a majority stake in it.

LIU KUN https://theconversation.com/why-china-could-never-sign-on-to-the-trans-pacific-partnership-56361 State-owned enterprises (SOEs) The TPP requires that no subsidies should be provided to an SOE for its international business expansion. The goal: to ensure competition between an SOE and a private enterprise takes place on a level playing field inside the host country. But China’s 150,000 SOEs form the bedrock of the Chinese economy and therefore have certain privileges. About a thousand SOEs are listed in the Shanghai or Shenzhen Stock Exchanges, indicating they are commercial in nature. More than 150 of these are managed by the central SASAC, and the list includes some of the largest companies in the world. The Chinese government assists these SOEs in various ways, including preferential interest rates. Although there have been exceptions under the TPP (for example New Zealand was able to get exemptions for its powerful cooperative Fonterra), it would have been an uphill battle for China to negotiate exemptions for so many of its SOEs engaged in various international operations within TPP member countries. ----- CPTPP was designed to be anti-China SOE. Using IMF 2018 GDP numbers CPTTP has 11 Pacific ocean countries with $13.06 Trillion GDP market with Japan, Canada, Australia and Mexico as it's major economies. South Korea joins CPTTP sometime in 2018. UK is interested joining CPTTP after Brexit. Including UK and SK into CPTPP results in $16 Trillion economy with 619 million population.? EU's GDP minus UK has about $16.73 Trillion GDP market. Australia, Canada, Malaysia, New Zealand, Brunei and Singapore are already part of British Commonwealth countries.

As for Brazil, refer to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercosur https://www.export.gov/article?id=Argentina-trade-barriers Tariff Barriers For countries outside the MERCOSUR area, Argentina and its MERCOSUR partners established the MERCOSUR common external tariff (CET) on January 1, 1995.

A prominent example is ZTE Corporation (ZTE), China’s second largest telecommunication equipment manufacturer and the subject of a U.S. House Committee investigation in 2012. ZTE’s shares are listed on both the Shenzhen and Hong Kong Stock Exchanges. ZTE’s largest shareholder is ZTE Holdings, which owns 30.76% of ZTE’s shares (see Fig. 1).[9] Under both Chinese and Hong Kong law, 30% is the point at which a shareholder is considered to have acquired a large enough stake to trigger a mandatory tender offer requirement. The shares of ZTE Holdings, in turn, are held by Xi’an Microelectronics (34%), Aerospace Guangyu (17%), and Zhongxing WXT (49%). Xi’an Micro Electronics and Aerospace Guangyu are both SOEs. State-owned entities, therefore, control 51% of ZTE Holdings A 51 percent SOE(State-owned entities) ZTE engaging in normal international goods trade distorts the international trade market.

Around the 2014 G20 meeting, the US sent a nuclear-powered submarine to shadow monitor the four Russian warships since Australia doesn't have a nuclear-powered submarine for a long duration with sufficient speed for a shadow monitor mission. Russian fleet consisted of Varyag, Marshal Shaposhnikov, a salvage and rescue tug, and a replenishment oiler. Australia responded by sending Stuart and Parramatta, as well as a P-3 Orion surveillance plane, to monitor the Russians. Although Russia had previously sent warships to accompany presidential attendance at international summits, the size of fleet and the lack of official notification to the host country made this an unprecedented move. If Australia has a nuclear-powered submarine, Australia wouldn't need the US's nuclear-powered submarine.

  8570.  @mar-c3y  Before Euromaidan, Russia has successfully used political and economic leverage to dissuade Ukraine from signing the E.U. deal. In the months prior to the Vilnius summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin engaged in a trade war with Kyiv, blocking nearly all imports from Ukraine and cutting energy supplies to the country. In turn, this reduced Ukrainian exports by 25 percent and shrank the economy by 1.5 percent. Ukraine Constitution 1991, Article 17, disallows foreign military bases after 2017. According to former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, Ukraine's constitution forbids the country from hosting foreign military bases after 2017. Yanukovych breached the Ukraine Constitution 1991, Article 17. After 2017, Ukraine's constitution is incompatible with foreign military bases hosting either NATO or CSTO. In 2018, President Petro Poroshenko's constitution amendment allowed temporary foreign military bases. If Yanukovych didn't sign the military base rental extension, Russia would be kicked out of Crimea.

  8571.  @suzyrottencrotch5132  Not a complete narrative. In 2008, German chancellor Angela Merkel (from East Germany) blocked Ukraine's NATO membership. President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, who served as foreign minister in two of Merkel's cabinets, on Monday admitted that he made a "mistake" in pushing for Nord Stream 2, the controversial pipeline built to double Russian gas imports to Germany. "My adherence to Nord Stream 2 was clearly a mistake. We were holding on to bridges that Russia no longer believed in and from which our partners had warned us about," he said, according to German media reports. The United States and EU members like Poland had deeply opposed the 10-billion-euro ($12 billion) pipeline which bypasses Ukraine, depriving Kyiv of gas transit fees. After obstinately defending it through its construction, Germany finally put the project on ice following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Like Merkel, Steinmeier has come under fire over the pipeline project. His Social Democrats in particular have over the years pushed for closer ties with Russia. Merkel's predecessor Gerhard Schroeder, a Social Democrat, has refused to quit key posts at Russian energy giants Rosneft and Gazprom despite Putin's war on Ukraine. Admitting his miscalculation, Steinmeier said his "assessment was that Vladimir Putin would not accept the compete economic, political and moral ruin of his country for his imperial madness." "Like others, I was wrong." ----- Conclusion: Modern Germany almost created the "Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact" situation that railroaded other EU member countries.

  8572.  @suzyrottencrotch5132  Q: So why isn’t Russia a member of NATO? A: Despite Russia signaling its interest to join NATO, there has since been a lot of tension between them. “Once Russia can show it is upholding democracy and human rights, NATO can seriously consider its membership,”says Rasmussen, the former Danish Prime Minister who served as NATO Secretary General from 2009 to 2014. In the meantime, he adds “we tried to build strong cooperation with Moscow.” He cites the 2002 Russia-NATO council, a development of the 1997 Act, which serves as a mechanism for cooperation, consensus building and joint-decision making. “We do share common interests. We cooperated on counter terrorism in Afghanistan, counter narcotics and counter piracy,” says Rasmussen.

My position on the economic model, "The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries" "The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money." I do support Australia's universal health care via "the ideal market competition" principles, but NOT the classic socialism approach. I do support the 3rd-way Goldilocks approach.

  8599.  @RobinEvans1234  >Capitalist development has been utterly dependent on a network of imperialism for development. On the subjugation of the global south. That's bullshit. Capitalist means private investment. A person who uses their wealth to invest in trade and industry for profit. Extreme Capitalism can result in something like the British East India Company which the British government has dismantled. A modern example is the Australian federal government (with a center right-wing government) vs Facebook showdown. "The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings. The inherent virtue of Socialism is the equal sharing of miseries." -Winston Churchill, House of Commons, 22 October 1945. Extremists at both ends are bad.

  8600.  @stopthephilosophicalzombie9017  Jews' mercantilism culture bias is not much different from East Asian's mercantilism culture bias e.g. Hebrew Proverbs and Chinese Confucius doctrines. Phoenicians have maritime mercantilism culture and the Phoenicians alphabet has influenced the Greek and Latin alphabets. Phoenicians' alphabet has influenced old Hebrew, Greek and Latin alphabets. The English alphabet is on the Latin alphabet. Note that the western world's weekends with Sunday and Saturday points to Judeo-Christian origin. Bible NT has teachings on good stewardship. Both Papua New Guinea and Australia started from the poor state, but Australia has adopted UK's maritime mercantilism culture bias, hence Australia developed faster than Papua New Guinea. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_in_South_Korea In addition, South Koreans also laud Jews as a high achieving and accomplished group of people citing the disproportionate of successful Jewish businesspeople and Nobel Prize winners as evidence and use this as inspiration for the South Korean populace to emulate Jewish success.[6][7][8] The South Korean media often discusses the merits of "Jewish education" to the South Korean populace.[9][10] South Koreans also identify with Judaism's arduous history of being oppressed peoples, surviving adversity with nothing but intellect and ingenuity to socioeconomically succeed, as well as its strong emphasis on family.[11] Like Japan, South Korea is economically strong. South Korea's largest organized religion is Protestant with a large Evangelical Protestant segment. The two envious ideologies from loser Germany can be dangerous.

  8605. President XI's historical arguments effectively are a continuation of Imperial China's Silk Road (known Belt-n-Road) and The Ten Great Campaigns. The Ten Great Campaigns (Chinese: 十全武功; pinyin: Shíquán Wǔgōng) were a series of military campaigns launched by the Qing dynasty of China in the mid–late 18th century during the reign of the Qianlong Emperor (r. 1735–1796). They included three to enlarge the area of Qing control in Inner Asia: two against the Dzungars (1755–1757) and the "pacification" of Xinjiang (1758–1759). The other seven campaigns were more in the nature of police actions on frontiers already established: two wars to suppress the Gyalrong of Jinchuan, Sichuan, another to suppress the Taiwanese Aboriginals (1787–88), and four expeditions abroad against the Burmese (1765–1769), the Vietnamese (1788–1789), and the Gurkhas on the border between Tibet and Nepal (1790–1792), with the last counting as two. ----- "There's nothing new under the sun."

  8636. For Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum context, Russia, the US, and the UK confirmed their Ukraine becoming parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and effectively abandoning their nuclear arsenal to Russia and that they would: 1. Respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders. 2. Refrain from the threat or the use of force against Ukraine. 3. Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine to influence their politics. 4. Seek immediate Security Council action to provide assistance to Ukraine if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used". 5. Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against Ukraine. 6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments. China and France gave somewhat weaker individual assurances in separate documents. Russia has exited Budapest Memorandum. The US and UK are fulfilling points 4 and 6 in accordance with Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum. Budapest Memorandum's security assurances are weaker than NATO's Article V and EU's Article 42.7.

  8691.  @alvinite9164  The British East India Company killed many Chinese Christians during the opium war. To further complicate matters, China was embroiled in the Taiping Rebellion, starting in 1850 and creating a period of radical political and religious upheaval. It was a bitter conflict within China that took an estimated 20 million lives before it finally came to an end in 1864. So as well as the issue of opium continually being sold illegally in China by the British, the Emperor also had to quell a Christian rebellion. However, this rebellion was heavily anti-opium which complicated things further, as the anti-opium stance was beneficial to the Emperor and the Qing dynasty. However it was a Christian rebellion and China at this time practiced Confucism. So although there were parts of the rebellion that were widely supported, including their opposition to prostitution, opium and alcohol, it was not universally supported, as it still contradicted some deeply held Chinese traditions and values. The Qing dynasty’s hold on the region was becoming more and more tenuous, and the open challenges to their authority by the British were only fuelling the fire. Tensions began to escalate between the two great powers once again.

In the months prior to the Vilnius summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin engaged in a trade war with Kyiv, blocking nearly all imports from Ukraine and cutting energy supplies to the country. In turn, this reduced Ukrainian exports by 25 percent and shrank the economy by 1.5 percent. Ukraine Constitution 1991, Article 17, disallows foreign military bases after 2017. According to former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, Ukraine's constitution forbids the country from hosting foreign military bases after 2017. Yanukovych breached the Ukraine Constitution 1991, Article 17. After 2017, Ukraine's constitution is incompatible with foreign military bases hosting either NATO or CSTO. In 2018, President Petro Poroshenko's constitution amendment allowed temporary foreign military bases. 😅🤣😂 If Yanukovych didn't sign the military base rental extension, Russia would be kicked out of Crimea. ------- Ukraine has integrated the English and Ukrainian languages as part of the school system. 😘😂

  8704.  @gvosh  https://www.popularmechanics.com/military/weapons/a22791042/the-first-us-hypersonic-weapons-arrow-and-hacksaw/ The first weapon, the AGM-183A Advanced Rapid Response Weapon (ARRW, pronounced “Arrow”) is an outgrowth of the DARPA’s Tactical Boost Glide program. ARRW is a rocket carried aloft by an aircraft such as a B-52 bomber and has a top speed of up to Mach 20. This makes it up to four times faster than Russian and Chinese hypersonic weapons, including Starry Sky 2 and Kinzhal. The Air Force recently awarded Lockheed Martin a $480 million contract to develop the ARRW, with an eye towards operational capability in 2021. The second weapon is the Hypersonic Conventional Strike Weapon (HCSW, or “Hacksaw”). A solid fuel rocket with GPS guidance, HCSW is also designed to be carried by aircraft with a planned in-service date of 2022. Lockheed Martin received $928 million to work on Hacksaw in April 2018. These aren’t the Pentagon’s only hypersonic projects. DARPA’s Tactical Boost Glide, a weapon with a 500 nautical mile range, is set to begin flight tests in 2019. DARPA is also working on the Hypersonic Air-breathing Weapon Concept (HAWC), which uses scramjet engines to cruise at hypersonic speeds. The U.S. Navy tested an unnamed boost glide weapon in November 2017.

  8705.  @alex_2020  False. Before Euromaidan, 1. Russia, has successfully used political and economic leverage to dissuade Ukraine from signing the E.U. deal. In the months prior to the Vilnius summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin engaged in a trade war with Kiev, blocking nearly all imports from Ukraine and cutting energy supplies to the country. In turn, this reduced Ukrainian exports by 25 percent and shrank the economy by 1.5 percent. Date: Jan. 7, 2010 Yanukovych: Ukraine will remain a neutral state. "It’s certain that Ukraine was and will be non-aligned state… We strive neither to join NATO nor the [CIS]CSTO [Collective Security Treaty Organization]. We’ll maintain a neutral status," Yanukovych said in an interview with the Komsomolskaya Pravda in Ukraine newspaper. -------- The trigger for Euromaidan was Yanukovych initiated non-neutrality policies such as joining a trade block instead of executing Switzerland-style neutrality. UK leaving the EU and joining CPTPP proves freedom of association. Some trade background for the context From Tradebarrier Index (lower score = less trade barriers) New Zealand's tariff score is 2.92 Australia's tariff score is 3.03 UK's tariff score is 3.94 (after Brexit) Japan's tariff score is 4.05 US's tariff score is 4.54 Germany's tariff score is 4.88 EU's tariff score is 4.88 Russia's tariff score is 6.16 <-------- China's tariff score is 6.8 <------ Russia wants to maintain its higher trade protectionist policies. 2. Victoria Nuland herself doesn't have the power, but about 73% of the MPs—voted to "remove Viktor Yanukovych from the post of president of Ukraine" has the power. Don't assume Ukraine's president has absolute power when 73% of the MPs have voted to "remove Viktor Yanukovych from the post of president of Ukraine". 3. Ukraine Constitution 1991, Article 17, disallows foreign military bases after 2017. According to former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, Ukraine's constitution forbids the country from hosting foreign military bases after 2017. Yanukovych breached the Ukraine Constitution 1991, Article 17. In 2018, President Petro Poroshenko's constitution amendment allowed temporary foreign military bases.

Victoria Nuland's grandparents on her father's side are Ukrainian. You and Russia can't handle it when the Ukrainian grandchild returns to Ukraine to finish the unresolved 1917 issue.

  8713.  @t-thedj-t-wanda4083  Colonel Douglas Macgregor should read Budapest Memorandum before presenting his arguments, hence Colonel Douglas Macgregor should be arguing for a proper and orderly exit from Budapest Memorandum. Macgregor's argument is unwise since Ukraine has threatened the west with Ukranian nuclear re-armament. Colonel Douglas Macgregor is not a diplomat since he failed to factor in Budapest Memorandum. Colonel Douglas Macgregor is from US Army not from US Navy, USMC, and USAF. In the Iraq war, most of the anti-tank missions were done by USAF, not by the US Army. Macgregor's career was frozen in 1997 and left the US Army in June 2004. Douglas Macgregor is from the US Army perspective which is the 3rd tier level of funding below USN and USAF.

  8714.  @t-thedj-t-wanda4083  In 2004, Macgregor stated that he strongly supported the war against Iraq. Removing Saddam created a power vacuum that resulted in ISIS. ------- Report: Saudi Arabia Presses U.S. on Overthrowing Saddam Hussein Date: January 19, 1992 From AP NEWS NEW YORK (AP) _ Saudi Arabia is pressuring the Bush administration to secretly arm and give intelligence to Iraqi opposition forces so they can work to overthrow Saddam Hussein, a newspaper reported Sunday. The Saudis want the United States to give arms and intelligence to Kurdish rebels in north Iraq, Shiite Muslim fighters in the south and Sunni Muslim opposition forces in central Iraq, the Times said, quoting U.S. and allied officials it didn’t name. ------- Saud's foreign policy resulted in the Caliphate monster a.k.a. ISIS (mostly Sunni Muslim opposition forces). Macgregor's support for the war against Iraq follows Saudi Arabia's foreign policy to remove Saddam. Macgregor is an idiot who doesn't understand soft power (e.g. religion). Bush Sr's decision to leave Saddam in place was the correct judgment and has resisted Saudi pressure. Bush Jr's decision to remove Saddam was wrong and has followed Saudi's foreign policy.

  8715.  @alex_2020  Yanukovich didn't navigate a neutral state when his decision resulted in the following outcomes 1. Before Euromaidan, Russia engaged in a trade blockade against Ukraine. CPTPP didn't exist at the 2013-2014 time period to offer an alternative to EU or EAEU. Ukraine can have FTA with the EAEU or with the EU, but not both. CPTPP has a very strict "made-in" origin process and Switzerland has problems with it. CPTPP's strict "made-in" origin policy avoids using a CPTPP member as a transit country for non-CPTPP countries. A strict "made-in" origin policy could be a solution for Ukraine's dual FTA between the EU and EAEU. 2. Yanukovich renewed Russia's naval base lease contrary to Ukraine's Constitution 1991.

UK applies for accession process with CPTPP zone. CPTPP's anti-China position was condemned by pro-CCP Clinton cultists, but the US is not a member of CPTPP, hence the US is on the sidelines. Biden promised an alternative to CPTPP (i.e. Biden admin working to undermine it) with US big pharma interest, but CPTPP members dumped US big pharma interest.

  8717.  @alex_2020  A twist for Donetsk. The city of Donetsk was founded in 1869 when the Welsh businessman John Hughes operated a steel plant and several coal mines at Aleksandrovka. The worker's settlement at the plant merged with Aleksandrovka and the place was named Yuzovo, later Yuzovka (Russian: Юзово, Юзовка), after Hughes. In its early period, it received immigrants from Wales, especially from the town of Merthyr Tydfil. By the beginning of the 20th century, Yuzovka had approximately 50,000 inhabitants, and attained the status of a city in 1917. The main district of Yuzovka is named English Colony, and the British origin of the city is reflected in its layout and architecture. Donetsk's immigrants from Wales were Russified. Perhaps Donetsk should join CANZUK instead. LOL.

Respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders. 2. Refrain from the threat or the use of force against Ukraine. 3. Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine to influence their politics. 4. Seek immediate Security Council action to provide assistance to Ukraine if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used". 5. Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against Ukraine. 6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments. China and France gave somewhat weaker individual assurances in separate documents. Russia has exited Budapest Memorandum. The US and UK are fulfilling points 4 and 6 in accordance with Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum. Budapest Memorandum's security assurances are weaker than NATO's Article V and EU's Article 42.7. Are you arguing for the US to abandon the Budapest Memorandum? --- Colonel Douglas Macgregor didn't factor in Budapest Memorandum. Douglas Macgregor should be arguing for a proper exit from Budapest Memorandum. Douglas Macgregor is not a diplomat.

A person who tests positive for coronavirus while in hotel quarantine doesn't need to return a negative result before they're allowed to leave, under the national guidelines. In NSW, every returned traveller must be tested at 10 days. In Victoria, people are offered tests on days 3 and 11. Mandatory testing was only introduced last weekend for NSW, and in Victoria the rules have recently been changed so if people decline testing they have to quarantine for a further 10 days. ------------------ NSW is a MUST.

But human error and alleged misconduct has been the main cause of resurgence in COVID-19 cases in Victoria, according to Mr Andrews. Victoria's state-run hotel quarantine has used private security contractors to guard rooms — a process that is now changing after guards contracted the virus and spread it to the community. In NSW, travellers with a fever or who are displaying COVID-19 symptoms are referred to a "Health Hotel", managed by NSW Health. Travellers who are well and have no symptoms are taken to hotels run by NSW Police. Private security guards may assist, but NSW Health says they are all given infection control training. ---------------- Fuckoff.

Victoria’s decision to rely on poorly trained private security guards in its quarantine hotels – instead of a mix of police, soldiers and private guards as other states did more successfully – allowed coronavirus to escape into the community The federal government documents provided to the inquiry on Tuesday included an email with the subject heading "assistance re hotel stay security". The email was sent in April by the boss of the Commonwealth public service, Phil Gaetjens, to Chris Eccles, his Victorian public service equivalent. Mr Gaetjens wrote: "The Commonwealth would be willing to assist Victoria in a similar way [to NSW] if you wanted to reconsider your model" and use the ADF. Mr Eccles replied: "Thanks Phil." ----- Victoria's COVID-19 second wave is on Victoria's Labor state government!

  8740. Before Euromaidan, Russia started a trade war against Ukraine, forcing Yanukovych to sign a base rental extension agreement that breached Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17 disallows foreign military bases after 2017. Read the Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17 which disallows foreign military bases after 2017. CONSTITUTION OF UKRAINE Adopted at the Fifth Session of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on 28 June 1996 Article 17 The location of foreign military bases shall not be permitted on the territory of Ukraine. Yanukovych breached the Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17. After 2017, Ukraine's constitution is incompatible with foreign military bases hosting either NATO or CSTO. If Yanukovych didn't sign the military base rental extension, Russia would be kicked out of Crimea. Putin's narrative is FALSE. Putin's pressure caused Yanukovych to make a mistake.

  8741. Trump argued for US allies to be armed with nukes to guarantee territorial integrity without large US commitment. Remember, Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum exchanged Ukraine's nuclear WMD for security assurances from US, UK, and Russia. France and China signed a watered-down Budapest Memorandum. Budapest Memorandum requires Ukraine to join Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty as part of Ukraine's nuclear WMD disarmament. Tucker is ignorant of Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum. Did you know Australia has similar security assurances like Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum and Australia does NOT have a NATO Article V level guarantee with the US? From 1950 to the 1960s, Australia detonated nuclear bombs as a joint partner with the UK.

The Ten Great Campaigns (Chinese: 十全武功; pinyin: Shíquán Wǔgōng) were a series of military campaigns launched by the Qing dynasty of China in the mid–late 18th century during the reign of the Qianlong Emperor (r. 1735–1796). They included three to enlarge the area of Qing control in Inner Asia: two against the Dzungars (1755–1757) and the "pacification" of Xinjiang (1758–1759). The other seven campaigns were more in the nature of police actions on frontiers already established: two wars to suppress the Gyalrong of Jinchuan, Sichuan, another to suppress the Taiwanese Aboriginals (1787–88), and four expeditions abroad against the Burmese (1765–1769), the Vietnamese (1788–1789), and the Gurkhas on the border between Tibet and Nepal (1790–1792), with the last counting as two.

While China has made progress, some problems remain: a lack of transparency industrial policies and non-tariff measures that discriminate against foreign companies strong government intervention in the economy, resulting in a dominant position of state-owned firms, unequal access to subsidies and cheap financing poor protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights In 2016 the EU adopted a new strategy on China mapping out the European Union's relationship with China for the next five years. The Strategy promotes reciprocity, a level playing field and fair competition across all areas of co-operation The strategy also includes a trade agenda with a strong focus on improving market access opportunities – including negotiations on a Comprehensive Agreement on Investment. It also deals with overcapacity and calling on China to engage with ambition at multilateral level. ---- https://global.handelsblatt.com/politics/trump-may-point-eu-tariffs-ifo-says-899083 “The EU is by no means the paradise for free traders that it likes to think,” said Gabriel Felbermayr, director of the ifo Center for International Economics, a division of the Munich-based ifo Institute. The European Union actually comes off as the bigger offender when compared to the US, he added. The unweighted average EU customs duty is 5.2 percent, versus the US rate of 3.5 percent, according to ifo’s database. So when Mr. Trump complains of “massive tariffs” he is not that far off the mark in several cases. And he does complain. “If the EU wants to further increase their already massive tariffs and barriers on US companies doing business there, we will simply apply a tax on their cars, which freely pour into the US,” the president tweeted earlier this month. “They make it impossible for our cars (and more) to sell there. Big trade imbalance!” .... In fact it wasn’t even Mr. Trump who first broke off negotiations over a US-EU free trade deal known as the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), the German economist noted. It was actually the EU that put the unpopular talks “on ice” ahead of elections in France and Germany. ---- *Trump is late to party on tariff increase game*.

  8768. President Xi's argument is based on historical Imperial China's Ten Great Campaigns. Territorial disputes around Xi's China are based on Imperial China's Ten Great Campaigns. The Ten Great Campaigns (Chinese: 十全武功; pinyin: Shíquán Wǔgōng) were a series of military campaigns launched by the Qing dynasty of China in the mid–late 18th century during the reign of the Qianlong Emperor (r. 1735–1796).

During the 4th Sino-Burmese Wars starting in 1768, Imperial China invaded the Kingdom of Burma. Burma hired European musketeers and gunners, hence Burma allied itself with the rising French Empire against Imperial China's invasion. In modern times, China's imperialist actions in Vietnam have spread to Vietnam's neighbor i.e. Philippines. The old world conflict zones remain similar in modern times. Look in the mirror.

  8770. From theguardian Date: 26th of Jan 2022. Australia is considering supplying extra liquefied natural gas (LNG) to Europe after the US and the UK raised fears the continent’s reliance on Russia makes it vulnerable in a growing standoff with Vladimir Putin. A senior Biden administration official revealed the US was also “looking at the global flow of LNG – whether it’s from the United States or from Australia or from other places”. Qatar is also part of the energy supply talks. The official said Russia had already restricted the flow of gas through the pipeline running through Ukraine from about 100m cubic metres a day to 50m. The Australian resources minister, Keith Pitt, said Australia was “a leading and reliable global exporter of LNG” and “stands ready to assist with any request for further supplies”. “This shows how important Australian resources are to energy supplies around the world,” Pitt said in a statement. From The World Factbook Top natural gas exporters in m3/year (estimates) in 2020 1. Russia = 199,928,345,000 2. United States = 149,538,000,000 3. Qatar = 143,700,000,000 4.

  8771. The United States remained Europe’s top supplier of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in the first 3 months of 2021 as it continued to gain market share at the expense of Russia and Qatar, Europe’s second- and third-largest sources of LNG, according to the EU Commission’s latest European Gas Market Report. The US supplied 24% (4.2 Bcm) of the EU’s overall LNG imports (17 Bcm in Q1 2021); Russia placed second at 21% (3.7 Bcm); and Qatar was third at 18% (3.1 Bcm), the EU Commission reported in early July. When compared to Q4 2020, the US picked up 2% market share from January to March this year, while Russia bested Qatar to become Europe’s second-largest LNG supplier. Nigeria placed fourth, followed by Algeria and Trinidad and Tobago. A review of EU Commission reports dating back to 2019 reveals a steady quarter-to-quarter decline in Europe’s LNG purchases while it also documents the growing rivalry between the US and Russia, Qatar’s fall from dominance, and the emergence of the US as Europe’s top LNG supplier starting Q4 2019. The EU is the world’s third-largest LNG market, though its imports amounted to only about half that of Japan (36 Bcm) and China (32 Bcm) in Q1 2021. European gas consumption rose 7.6% to 132 Bcm in Q1 based on a year-on-year comparison. The commission noted that demand for gas as fuel to generate electricity rose 3.4%, also year-on-year (increasing by 4.9 TWh.)

Since joining the WTO in 2001, China has repeatedly insisted that it will live up to those undertakings made on entry. In particular, the use of currency manipulation has been identified by the US as a breech of the commitment to end price controls for the purposes of protecting domestic industries. This became a major political issue from 2005 onwards, and has only recently subsided because it is assumed that the RMB is slightly overvalued on the market. Nevertheless, for years it was deliberate policy for the PBoC to accumulate US Dollars and suppress the exchange rate for the RMB, resulting in exactly the price distortions China had committed to eliminate in 2001, and fuelling an enormous trade surplus with the US, which persists and expands to this day. http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052748703321004575427050544485366 After securing Rare-Earth monopoly, China Dangles Rare-Earth Resources to Lure Investment BEIJING—China is cautiously using rare-earth resources as bait for foreign investment that could bring in sophisticated technologies that it needs.

For Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum context, Russia, the US, and the UK confirmed their Ukraine becoming parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and effectively abandoning their nuclear arsenal to Russia and that they would: 1. Respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders. 2. Refrain from the threat or the use of force against Ukraine. 3. Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine to influence their politics. 4. Seek immediate Security Council action to provide assistance to Ukraine if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used". 5. Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against Ukraine. 6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments. China and France gave somewhat weaker individual assurances in separate documents. Russia has exited Budapest Memorandum.

  8898. Colonel Douglas Macgregor should read Budapest Memorandum before presenting his arguments, hence Colonel Douglas Macgregor should be arguing for a proper and orderly exit from Budapest Memorandum. Exit from any insurance should be done ahead of the actual disaster. Macgregor's argument is unwise since Ukraine has threatened the west with Ukranian nuclear re-armament. Any exit from the insurance agreements SHOULD not be done when the insured party has the intention to use it. Note why France, the UK, and Israel have their own nuclear weapons mostly due to the 1956 Suez Canal crisis when USSR have threaten to nuke UK, France, and Israel. while the US withdrew its nuclear weapons coverage for UK and France. The US withdrew its nuclear weapons insurance coverage when USSR have threaten to nuke UK, France, and Israel during the 1956 Suez Canal crisis. I dislike insurance vendors who offered insurance and run away from it when the insured party has the intention to use it.

The UK is a nuclear weapons state and has a superior navy when compared to the French or German navies. 3. When the UK joins CPTPP, it has effectively recreated its closer relationships with Japan and CANZUK group as per pre-WW1. With the UK, CPTPP's 7 of 12 member countries are also Commonwealth members. CPTPP encapsulates the CANZUK group. Trump's action by removing the US from TPP has indirectly created CPTPP. -------- Again, for Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum context, Russia, the US, and the UK confirmed their Ukraine becoming parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and effectively abandoning their nuclear arsenal to Russia and that they would: 1. Respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders. 2. Refrain from the threat or the use of force against Ukraine. 3.

These were observed by Singaporean Defence Minister Ng Eng Hen and the High Commissioners of Australia, Malaysia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. Prior to this, a two-week joint exercise had taken place, known as Exercise Bersama Gold in honour of the FPDA's golden jubilee. Participating ships included the Australian amphibious assault ship HMAS Canberra and New Zealand's HMNZS Aotearoa replenishment tanker. The British destroyer HMS Diamond also took part in the exercise. Whilst in the region at the time, UK Carrier Strike Group 21 did not participate in the exercise, likely due to the presence of the United States Marine Corps on the aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth.

  8982.  @tkw3864  From forbes.com/sites/douglasbulloch/2016/10/12/protectionism-may-be-rising-around-the-world-but-in-china-it-never-went-away/#5dc3f5df73da Protectionism May Be Rising Around The World, But In China It Never Went Away Promises unkept? Since joining the WTO in 2001, China has repeatedly insisted that it will live up to those undertakings made on entry. In particular, the use of currency manipulation has been identified by the US as a breech of the commitment to end price controls for the purposes of protecting domestic industries. This became a major political issue from 2005 onwards, and has only recently subsided because it is assumed that the RMB is slightly overvalued on the market. Nevertheless, for years it was deliberate policy for the PBoC to accumulate US Dollars and suppress the exchange rate for the RMB, resulting in exactly the price distortions China had committed to eliminate in 2001, and fuelling an enormous trade surplus with the US, which persists and expands to this day. Furthermore TRIPS implementation has been given some effect on paper, but has made little progress when it comes to 'enforcement.' This is (according to the WTO) as recently as February 2015, fully 14 years after TRIPS was supposed to be already in effect. The US Trade Representative produces an annual report to Congress on China's WTO compliance which leaves little room to conclude they have so far lived up to their accession commitments. The most recent several-hundred-page document - produced in December 2015 - recites a long list of small measures, committees established, announcements made and new administrative complications faced, all continuing disputes over an agreement theoretically in effect since 2001. Although, therefore, protectionism is rising around the world, it is also true to say that existing practices of protectionism have not fallen in the way that they should have since China's accession to the WTO in 2001. Because of this lack of progress in easing trade, the extended period of currency manipulation, the lack of observance of TRIPS and the sheer administrative resistance exporters face when trying to get their products into China, we now face of world of highly unbalanced trade, and rising mistrust. And it is this that is leading to rising protectionism; the simple fact that it never went away.

  8993.  @newssquabbler69 For Nigeria. Before British colonization, at the beginning of the 19th century, Usman dan Fodio led a successful jihad against the Hausa Kingdoms founding the centralised Sokoto Caliphate. The empire with Arabic as its official language grew rapidly under his rule and that of his descendants, who sent out invading armies in every direction. The vast landlocked empire connected the east with the western Sudan region and made inroads down south conquering parts of the Oyo Empire (modern-day Kwara), and advanced towards the Yoruba heartland of Ibadan, to reach the Atlantic Ocean. The territory controlled by the empire included much of modern-day northern and central Nigeria. The sultan sent out emirs to establish a suzerainty over the conquered territories and promote Islamic civilization, the emirs in turn became increasingly rich and powerful through trade and slavery. By the 1890s, the largest slave population in the world, about two million, was concentrated in the territories of the Sokoto Caliphate. The use of slave labour was extensive, especially in agriculture. Look in the mirror. Nigeria was a British colony from 1900 to October 1st, 1960 i.e. about 60 years.

CONSTITUTION OF UKRAINE Adopted at the Fifth Session of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on 28 June 1996 Article 17 The location of foreign military bases shall not be permitted on the territory of Ukraine. Yanukovych breached the Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17. After 2017, Ukraine's constitution is incompatible with foreign military bases hosting either NATO or CSTO. If Yanukovych didn't sign the military base rental extension, Russia would be kicked out of Crimea. Putin's narrative is FALSE. Putin's pressure caused Yanukovych to make a mistake.

In turn, this reduced Ukrainian exports by 25 percent and shrank the economy by 1.5 percent. Ukraine Constitution 1991, Article 17, disallows foreign military bases after 2017. According to former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, Ukraine's constitution forbids the country from hosting foreign military bases after 2017. Yanukovych breached the Ukraine Constitution 1991, Article 17. After 2017, Ukraine's constitution is incompatible with foreign military bases hosting either NATO or CSTO. In 2018, President Petro Poroshenko's constitution amendment allowed temporary foreign military bases. If Yanukovych didn't sign the military base rental extension, Russia would be kicked out of Crimea. Your narrative is FALSE.

Nov 5, 2021 The U.S. State Department has approved the potential sale to Saudi Arabia of 280 AIM-120C7/C8 air-to-air missiles in a deal valued at up to $650 million Riyadh requested to buy 280 AIM-120C-7/C-8 Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missiles (AMRAAM) and 596 LAU-128 Missile Rail Launchers. A U.S. State Department spokesperson said Thursday the proposed sales were being advanced as Saudi Arabia has seen an increase in cross-border attacks from Iranian-backed Houthi fighters over the past year. The weapons would support Saudi Arabia’s Eurofighter Typhoon, F-15C/D, F-15S and F-I5SA.

  9124.  @rongoldman7520  The Chile example, USSR has supported its Cuban proxy that in turn supported Marxist Salvador Allende. You're a hypocrite. Marxist Salvador Allende clashed with the right-wing parties that controlled Congress and with the judiciary. On 11 September 1973, the military moved to oust Allende in a coup d'état. Marxist Salvador Allende's presidential branch effectively declared war on the judiciary and right-wing majority-governed Congress branches. During the 1970 Chilean presidential election, both the United States and the Soviet Union poured money into this election through their intelligence agencies and other sources. 💰KGB money was more precisely targeted. Allende made a personal request for Soviet money through his personal contact, KGB officer Svyatoslav Kuznetsov, who urgently came to Chile from Mexico City to help Allende. The original allocation of money for these elections through the KGB was $400,000, and an additional personal subsidy of $50,000 directly to Allende.[8] It is believed that help from KGB was a decisive factor, because Allende won by a narrow margin of 39,000 votes of a total of the 3 million cast. After the elections, the KGB director Yuri Andropov obtained permission for additional money and other resources from the Central Committee of the CPSU to ensure Allende victory in Congress. In his request on 24 October, he stated that KGB "will carry out measures designed to promote the consolidation of Allende's victory and his election to the post of President of the country".[8] In your argument's summary, the USSR-supported regime change intervention is okay while the US intervention is bad. Your argument is hypocritical.

  9142. Before British colonization, at the beginning of the 19th century, Usman dan Fodio led a successful jihad against the Hausa Kingdoms, founding the centralised Sokoto Caliphate. The empire with Arabic as its official language grew rapidly under his rule and that of his descendants, who sent out invading armies in every direction. The vast landlocked empire connected the east with the western Sudan region and made inroads down south conquering parts of the Oyo Empire (modern-day Kwara), and advanced towards the Yoruba heartland of Ibadan, to reach the Atlantic Ocean. The territory controlled by the empire included much of modern-day northern and central Nigeria. The sultan sent out emirs to establish a suzerainty over the conquered territories and promote Islamic civilization, the emirs in turn became increasingly rich and powerful through trade and slavery. By the 1890s, the largest slave population in the world, about two million, was concentrated in the territories of the Sokoto Caliphate. The use of slave labour was extensive, especially in agriculture. European slave traders are the customers.

  9181. The United States of Europe has been dubbed a "CIA project" after declassified documents. The tactics for stealth monetary union is the CIA's guidance. The majority of the US population is from many European countries with British and German immigrants being its largest immigrant population, hence the original European Union project is the United States itself. The US is wary of "brother wars" among the Germanic-speaking countries. A German name like Boeing B-17 bomber bombing German cities is not good.

  9190.  @djorksolo8544  Air Forces Monthly had an article, "The Big Fight", about the Advanced Tactical Leadership Course (ATLC) in its April 2010 issue. The successive article (same issue), "Justifiably Proud!", was an interview with Lt. Col. Fabrice Grandclaudon, Commander of EC 1/7. "AFM: You apparently said 'the Rafale rubbed F-22 - the most modern fighter of the USAF. During six encounters the F-22 hit its goal only once'. The 27th FS doesn't remember the engagements that way and say the F-22 scored several victories against Rafale. Did you offer DACT to the Raptors and did they decline? I did not say we 'rubbed them', I said that there was only one shot claimed (ie a simulated kill) for the six that were set-up. I read in a recent issue of Air et Cosmos that it was two. As far as I am concerned, one or two shots of six Basic Fighter Manoeuvres (BFM) encounters is a victory for the F-22 but not an overwhelming one. Not like the one we claimed against the Typhoons after combat in Solenzara, Corsica during September (9 set-up: 8 to 1 for the Rafale*). The other set-ups versus F-22s were terminated for combat deck, an un-decisive situation or lack of fuel. We never shot them down, but we hope to do so soon since we are quite good opposition for them, and it is in the pilot's spirit not to give up! Like almost every nation, we offered Beyond Visual Range DACT, of course, but the F-22 was only authorized to do BFM 1v1 Within Visual Range (WVR) versus foreign countries (except the UK, with whom they did not fight even in the BFMs). I wish we could have done so, but we didn't - which bring me back to Air et Cosmos, where its information about BVR engagement with AMRAAM in stealth mode is wrong: besides the fact that we did not even fly BVR vs F-22s! F-22 was fitted with some specific device to increase their radar signature. It enabled us to have contact with them during work ups for example. But that's not the point here." ------------- 1. "one or two shots of six Basic Fighter Manoeuvres (BFM) encounters is a victory for the F-22" . 2. "We never shot them down" on another setup. Note that F-22s has to increase it's RCS for the training. In a real combat, F-22A's specific device to increase their radar signature would be turned off and Rafale's pilots would have comparably inferior situation awareness than F-22's pilots since Rafale's pilots wouldn't be aware of F-22A's specific location i.e. it's another F-22's mass (simulated) killing of F-15s type scenario. Without F-22A's RCS booster, Rafale's pilots wouldn't be able to locate the F-22s for training. 3. None of the OSF pictures released by the French Ministry of Defense represented a kill.

They found the pilot was fatigued and, as a result, “experienced cognitive degradation” was also distracted at a critical point in the flight due to a misaligned helmet-mounted display. The pilot tried to land with the speed hold engaged and used an alternate cross-check method, and lacked some key knowledge about the fighter’s flight control logic --------------------

  9201.  @djorksolo8544  LPI (Low Probability of Intercept) radar is the ability to jump radar frequencies in a random pattern, but they don't hide EM emissions from the stereo passive radar that can triangulate from EM emissions. The major factor for F-35's speed limitation is with passive radar sensors that runs across the wing's leading edge i.e. higher speed creates higher air fiction, hence higher temperature.

  9202.  @f65  During WW2, UK delivered the 1st Nazi Germany defeat during the Battle of Britian, hence weakening Germany's airforce fleet. Nazi Germany's large land army is a mismatch against UK's maritime superiority. Both UK and Imperial Japan have about 11 aircraft carriers during WW2, but UK can only handle a single front war e.g. WW1. US Navy was created to overcome Imperial Japan's UK size maritime power. USA production is more than 4 times since the US was the only nation to mass-produced aircraft carriers. Germany Tiger I tank's 1,347 units x 44 tons = 59,268 tons Tiger II tank has 492 units x 68 tons = 33,456 tons Panther tank has 6000 units x 44 tons = 264,000 tons Panzer IV has 8,553 unit x 25 tons = 213,825 tons Total: 570,549 tons Czech's Panzer 38(t) has 1414 units x 10 tons = 141,40 tons USA M26 tanks has 2,212 units x 44 tons = 97,328 tons M26 has 90 mm gun. M4 tanks has 49,234 units x 33 tons = 1,624,722, Russian T34 tanks has similar number. M10 tank destroyer has 6,406 units x 29 tons = 185,774 tons M18 tank destroyer has 2,507 units x 39 tons = 97,773 tons M36 tank destroyer has 2,324 units x 29 tons = 67,396 tons M36 has 90 mm gun. Sub-Total: 2,072,993 tons M4 Sherman Firefly (UK) has 2,200 units x 35 tons = 77,000 tons. M4 Firefly can takes on Tiger I and Panther tanks. The US has both quality (M26) and numbers (M4). A significant amount of the US Army's tonnage was against the German army. The US has the following aircraft carrier production 24 Essex-class fleet carriers with 90 to 110 aircraft each. 650,400 tons for Essex-class. 21 Commencement Bay class with 228,900 tons 50 Casablanca-class with 390,000 tons. 45 Bogue-class with 747,900 tons 3 Yorktown-class fleet carriers with 59,400 tons Sub-Total: 3,798,645 tons Modern-day USN aircraft carrier fleet tonnage is just about 1,460,000 tons. A significant amount of USN's tonnage was against the Japanese navy. WW2 UK has similar aircraft carrier builds as Imperial Japan i.e. around 10 to 11 units. Not including UK, US and Canada other surface combat ships e.g. destroyers, heavy cruisers, battleships and 'etc'. Grand Total: 5,871,638 tons For the US, that's already 10.3X times over Germany's iron/steel tonnage extract/production. WW2 Russian navy is small. WW2 German navy is small. Both Canada and the USA has the advantage of the entire North American continent on raw metal and oil resources. European mainland is raw resource-poor, hence the reason for Hitler wanting Russian lands.

  9248.  @TjJay-ev6mx  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_exodus_from_the_Muslim_world In the 20th century, approximately 900,000 Jews migrated, fled, or were expelled from Muslim-majority countries throughout Africa and Asia. Primarily a consequence of the Israeli Declaration of Independence, the mass movement mainly transpired from 1948 to the early 1970s, with one final exodus of Iranian Jews occurring shortly after the Islamic Revolution in 1979–1980. An estimated 650,000 (72%) of these Jews resettled in Israel.[1] --- The British mandate over Iraq came to an end in June 1930, and in October 1932 the country became independent. The Iraqi government response to the demand of Assyrian autonomy (the Assyrians being the indigenous Eastern Aramaic-speaking Semitic descendants of the ancient Assyrians and Mesopotamians, and largely affiliated to the Assyrian Church of the East, Chaldean Catholic Church and Syriac Orthodox Church), turned into a bloody massacre of Assyrian villagers by the Iraqi army in August 1933. This event was the first sign to the Jewish community that minority rights were meaningless under the Iraqi monarchy. King Faisal, known for his liberal policies, died in September 1933, and was succeeded by Ghazi, his nationalistic anti-British son. Ghazi began promoting Arab nationalist organizations, headed by Syrian and Palestinian exiles.

  9249.  @TjJay-ev6mx  Depopulation of local Jewish communities Following the 1948 Arab–Israeli War and the 1949 Armistice Agreements, all Jewish communities in Transjordan, the Jordanian-annexed West Bank, and the Egyptian-occupied Gaza Strip were depopulated.[201][202] The communities and localities affected included the Jerusalem Jewish Quarter, Hebron, Ein Tzurim, Masu'ot Yitzhak, Revadim, Beit HaArava, Kalya, Kfar Etzion, Atarot, Kfar Darom, Neve Yaakov, and Tel Or[203][204] In many cases, these depopulations represented final stages of earlier evacuations begun in response to both the 1929 Palestine riots and 1936-1939 Arab Revolt.[205] The Hebron Jewish Community, already having lost a majority of its population as a result of mandatory British evacuation following the 1929 Hebron Massacre, lost its sole remaining Jewish resident Ya’akov Ben Shalom Ezra during the war.[206][207] Kfar Darom, the last of the Gaza Jewish communities following mandatory evacuations in 1929, was itself ultimately abandoned following a three-month siege by the Egyptian army in 1948.[208] In the case of Dead Sea-region kibbutzim of Beit HaArava and Kalya, negotiations with Transjordan's King Abdullah were conducted in an attempt for residents to remain. When those talks failed, the villagers fled by boat to an Israeli military post at Mount Sodom.[209] Judean settlements Kfar Etzion, a kibbutz established southwest of Bethlehem, and Jerusalem adjascent Atarot and Neve Yaakov fared less peacefully during the conflict. All three villages were besieged by a combined force of Arab Legion and local irregulars, resulting in a complete evacuation of Atarot & Neve Yaakov, and a massacre of 127 of Etzion's defending force and citizens.[210] The village of Tel Or had the distinction of being the only Jewish locality permitted in Transjordan proper at the time. Established in 1930 in the vicinity of the Naharayim hydroelectric power plant, the village of was built as a housing compound for Jewish crews operating the power plant, and their families.[211] Following a prolonged battle between Yishuv forces and the Transjordanian Arab Legion in the area, the residents of Tel Or were given an ultimatum to surrender or leave the village. Depopulation of Jerusalem's Jewish Quarter The largest depopulation during the war occurred in Jerusalem's Jewish Quarter, where its entire population of about 2,000 Jews were besieged and ultimately forced to leave en masse. The defenders surrendered on 28 May 1948. Weingarten negotiating the surrender with Arab Legion soldiers The Jordanian commander is reported to have told his superiors: "For the first time in 1,000 years not a single Jew remains in the Jewish Quarter. Not a single building remains intact. This makes the Jews' return here impossible."[212][213] ------------- Afghanistan See also: History of the Jews in Afghanistan The Afghan Jewish community declined from about 40,000 in the early 20th century to 5,000 by 1934 due to persecution. Many Afghan Jews fled to Persia, although some came to Palestine.[239] In 1929, the Soviet press reported a pogrom in Afghanistan.[240] -------------

  9252. From theguardian Date: 26th of Jan 2022. Australia is considering supplying extra liquefied natural gas (LNG) to Europe after the US and the UK raised fears the continent’s reliance on Russia makes it vulnerable in a growing standoff with Vladimir Putin. A senior Biden administration official revealed the US was also “looking at the global flow of LNG – whether it’s from the United States or from Australia or from other places”. Qatar is also part of the energy supply talks. The official said Russia had already restricted the flow of gas through the pipeline running through Ukraine from about 100m cubic metres a day to 50m. The Australian resources minister, Keith Pitt, said Australia was “a leading and reliable global exporter of LNG” and “stands ready to assist with any request for further supplies”. “This shows how important Australian resources are to energy supplies around the world,” Pitt said in a statement. From The World Factbook Top natural gas exporters in m3/year (estimates) in 2020 1. Russia = 199,928,345,000 2. United States = 149,538,000,000 3. Qatar = 143,700,000,000 4.

Virginia-class VLS Tomahawk cruise missile adapter can be removed to expose the larger diameter VLS for Trident II nuclear ICBM platform. Each Virginia-class Block 5 has the potential for up to six Trident II nuclear ICBM when the Tomahawk cruise missile adapter is removed. Each Virginia-class Block 1-to-IV has the potential for up to two Trident II nuclear ICBM when the Tomahawk cruise missile adapter is removed. Each Trident II can have up to 14 nuclear warheads x six VLS x 8 submarines = 672 nuclear warheads platform. or Each Trident II can have up to 14 nuclear warheads x two VLS x 8 submarines = 224 nuclear warheads platform.

  9261.  @atomduke7789  Your assumptions are wrong. Australia's place in any conflict between the US and China is enforcing Australia's freedom of navigation and keeping its shipping lanes open to support its northern allies. Refer to Australia-Japan "Defence Supplies and Services" agreement. Agreement between the Government of Australia and the Government of Japan concerning Reciprocal Provision of Supplies and Services between the Australian Defence Force and the Self-Defense Forces of Japan - Sydney, 14 January 2017 Obligations 3.14 The provision of any supplies and services under the proposed Agreement must be carried out in accordance with the Parties’ respective national laws and obligations. 3.15 Article I provides that the reciprocal provision of logistic supplies and services under the proposed Agreement will occur for the purposes of: exercises and training with participation by both the ADF and the JSDF; United Nations peacekeeping operations, internationally coordinated peacekeeping and security operations, and humanitarian international relief operations; operations in response to large scale disasters in Australia, Japan or a third country; emergency evacuation of Australian or Japanese nationals, or others from third countries; communication and coordination or other routine activities including visits of ships or aircraft of the ADF or the JSDF;and for other cooperative efforts as mutually determined and permitted under the laws and regulations of the respective Parties (including for unforeseen circumstances or exigencies). 3.16 The inclusion of ‘internationally coordinated peacekeeping and security operations’ as well as enabling the provision of logistic supplies and services for other cooperatively efforts as mutually determined is an expansion of the 2013 Agreement. 3.17 The supplies and services that may be provided under the Agreement are listed in Tabled 3.1 below. 3.18 For the provision of supplies, where possible, the receiving Party must return the supplies in a condition and manner satisfactory to the providing Party. Where supplies cannot be returned in a satisfactory condition or are consumable, the receiving Party must give the providing Party supplies of the same type, quality and quantity. Where neither option is possible, the receiving Party must reimburse the providing Party. 3.19 For the provision of services, the receiving Party may either reimburse the providing Party or provide services of the same type and equivalent value. 3.20 The provision of supplies and services must be carried out in accordance with the Procedural Arrangement as agreed between the Australian Department of Defence and the Japanese Ministry of Defence (Article V). The NIA explains that a new Procedural Arrangement has been concluded however is a less-than-treaty status document. Consequently, the Committee will not have an opportunity to review this supporting document. 3.21 Similarly, disputes between the Australia and Japan must be settled in accordance with the Procedural Arrangement, or otherwise through consultation.24 Reasons for implementing proposed treaty action 3.22 As noted above, the proposal to replace the 2013 Agreement was initiated by Japan, which sought to broaden that Agreement to achieve congruence with defence reforms passed by the National Diet in September 2015. 3.23 The NIA states that the expanded scope of the proposed Agreement: aligns with Australia’s other military logistic support agreements and arrangements and offers Australia the opportunity to further enhance the quality of, and potential for, defence cooperation with Japan, and to broaden the interoperability between the two forces. 3.24 It further asserts that the proposed Agreement is ‘uncontroversial’ and ‘builds on Australia’s existing relationship with Japan in relation to defence matters, and raises no international defence policy issues’. 3.25 If the proposed Agreement were not ratified, Australia’s military logistic relationship with Japan would be out of step with those that Japan has with the United States and the United Kingdom. -------------------------------- 1. It's well known China has attempted to encircle Australia via the second Island chain. China has no business in Australia's Oceania backyard. 2.

  9263.  @atomduke7789  Japan still has a fast breeder nuclear reactor and has made enough enriched nuclear material for 200 nuclear warheads, but this nuclear material was handed to the US in exchange for defense guarantees. The US is a major factor that stops US allies from arming themselves with their own independent nuclear weapons. The major reason for the UK, France, and Israel obtaining independent nuclear weapons from the US stems from the Suez Canal crisis in 1956, when the US withdrew its nuclear weapons coverage and effectively allowed USSR to threaten to nuke the UK, France, and Israel. The US is a major factor when it interfered in the joint UK/Australia nuclear bomb and ICBM testing. Taiwan is a test case for, IF the US can't fulfill its defense obligations, the US has a credibility problem with US nuclear defense guarantees. UK/France/Israel does NOT trust US nuclear defense guarantees. The US is caught in a pickle. Ukraine already threatens the west to rearm with its own nuclear weapons if the west doesn't fulfill its defense obligations.

JGC Holdings will help build a plant in the state of Idaho designed by NuScale Power, an American company whose proposal for a small modular reactor (SMR) involves immersing the containment units in a pool of water. Small nuclear reactors have been hailed as an option for replacing fossil fuel power plants as nations commit to cutting carbon dioxide emissions in the coming decades.

Before British colonization, at the beginning of the 19th century, Usman dan Fodio led a successful jihad against the Hausa Kingdoms founding the centralised Sokoto Caliphate. The empire with Arabic as its official language grew rapidly under his rule and that of his descendants, who sent out invading armies in every direction. The vast landlocked empire connected the east with the western Sudan region and made inroads down south conquering parts of the Oyo Empire (modern-day Kwara), and advanced towards the Yoruba heartland of Ibadan, to reach the Atlantic Ocean. The territory controlled by the empire included much of modern-day northern and central Nigeria. The sultan sent out emirs to establish a suzerainty over the conquered territories and promote Islamic civilization, the emirs in turn became increasingly rich and powerful through trade and slavery. By the 1890s, the largest slave population in the world, about two million, was concentrated in the territories of the Sokoto Caliphate. The use of slave labour was extensive, especially in agriculture.

The plaintiffs were among the victims of a chemical weapon attack that killed 5,000 in the town of Halabja during the Iran-Iraq war. A Dutch businessman who sold Iraq chemicals used in the attack was ordered to pay 400,000 euros to some of the victims in April 2013. ----------- Date: March 2017 Kurdistan’s Interior Minister said on Tuesday the Regional Government since its formation had demanded from the federal government to pay compensation to the families of Kurdish victims who suffered genocide, killing, and displacement from the former Iraqi regime. Rebar Ahmed stressed during the Parliament session that in 2014 “we decided to announce Halabja as a governorate,… but perhaps the big problem facing Halabja is that Iraq is not yet ready to recognize it as a governorate. Therefore, the federal government did not allocate a financial budget for it.” Ahmed continued that when the first Kurdish delegation went to Baghdad, it delivered the Prime Minister a request to compensate the victims of the people of Kurdistan with 380 billion dollars for the crimes committed by Saddam Hussein's regime in Halabja, Anfal and to Barzanis, Faili Kurds, and all victims of Baath crimes. The Halabja chemical attack, also known as the Halabja Massacre or Bloody Friday was a massacre of Kurdish people that took place on 16 March 1988, during the closing days of the Iran–Iraq War in the Kurdish city of Halabja in Iraqi Kurdistan. The attack was part of the Al-Anfal Campaign in Kurdistan, as well as part of the Iraqi Army's attempt to repel the Iranian Operation Zafar 7. It took place 48 hours after the capture of the town by the Iranian Army. A United Nations (UN) medical investigation concluded that mustard gas was used in the attack, along with unidentified nerve agents. The incident was the largest chemical weapons attack directed against a civilian-populated area in history, killing between 3,200 and 5,000 people and injuring 7,000 to 10,000 more, most of them civilians. Preliminary results from surveys of the affected region showed an increased rate of cancer and birth defects in the years afterward.

You can't handle the fact that Russia made the 1st move BEFORE Euromaidan event. You can't handle the fact the Russian Federation inherited Imperial Russia's colonial actions. Russia thinks communism clean slates their colonial past. LOL Your argument is hypocritical and it's NOT the same when the British government does NOT govern the non-existing British Empire while Russian Federation inherited MOST of the Russian Empire's land area. Communism did NOT wipe the Russian Empire's colonial past hence why the breakup of the USSR revealed Russian Empire being a fake country (I use Putin's fake country words).

Lord estimated that the cost will drop around 15 percent from lot 11 to lot 14 across all variants, which could peg an A model at around $76 million. “This framework estimates the delivery of an F-35A for less than $80M in Lot 13, one year earlier than planned," Lord said.

  9297.  @n8club  The English language was the result of conquest by the French Normans. Frisian is the closest living relative to English with shared syntax, lexicon, and phonetics. Frisian is a West Germanic language spoken in parts of Germany, Denmark, and the Netherlands. Frisian is closer to Low German. Old English was first written using Anglo-Saxon runes in the 5th century. In 597, the arrival of the Gregorian mission in Kent marked the beginning of the Christianisation of Anglo-Saxon England, and with it the reintroduction of the Latin alphabet to Britain, where it was used to write English for the first time. The earliest attested instances of Old English being written using the Latin script were in Anglo-Saxon law codes, including one drawn up in 616 on behalf of King Æthelberht of Kent. This was used until the end of the 12th century when continental Carolingian minuscule replaced the Insular, along with a shift in spelling conventions toward the Old French alphabet, leading to Middle English.

  9315.  @deniscicic8074  Date: Jan. 7, 2010 Yanukovych: Ukraine will remain a neutral state. "It’s certain that Ukraine was and will be non-aligned state… We strive neither to join NATO nor the [CIS]CSTO [Collective Security Treaty Organization]. We’ll maintain a neutral status," Yanukovych said in an interview with the Komsomolskaya Pravda in Ukraine newspaper. -------- The trigger for Euromaidan was Yanukovych initiated non-neutrality policies such as joining a trade block instead of executing Switzerland-style neutrality. UK leaving the EU and joining CPTPP proves freedom of association. Before Euromaidan, Russia, however, has successfully used political and economic leverage to dissuade Ukraine from signing the E.U. deal. In the months prior to the Vilnius summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin engaged in a trade war with Kiev, blocking nearly all imports from Ukraine and cutting energy supplies to the country. In turn, this reduced Ukrainian exports by 25 percent and shrank the economy by 1.5 percent. Some trade background for the context From Tradebarrier Index (lower score = less trade barriers) New Zealand's tariff score is 2.92 Australia's tariff score is 3.03 UK's tariff score is 3.94 (after Brexit) Japan's tariff score is 4.05 US's tariff score is 4.54 Germany's tariff score is 4.88 EU's tariff score is 4.88 Russia's tariff score is 6.16 <-------- China's tariff score is 6.8 <------ Russia wants to maintain its higher trade protectionist policies.

In the months prior to the Vilnius summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin engaged in a trade war with Kiev, blocking nearly all imports from Ukraine and cutting energy supplies to the country. In turn, this reduced Ukrainian exports by 25 percent and shrank the economy by 1.5 percent. 2. Ukraine Constitution 1991, Article 17, disallows foreign military bases after 2017. According to former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, Ukraine's constitution forbids the country from hosting foreign military bases after 2017. Yanukovych breached the Ukraine Constitution 1991, Article 17 . After 2017, Ukraine's constitution is incompatible with foreign military bases hosting for either NATO or CSTO. HAHAHAH, In 2018, President Petro Poroshenko's constitution amendment allowed temporary foreign military bases. LOL. 3. Victoria Nuland herself doesn't have the power, but about 73% of the MPs—voted to "remove Viktor Yanukovych from the post of president of Ukraine" has the power.

For Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum context, Russia, the US, and the UK confirmed their Ukraine becoming parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and effectively abandoning their nuclear arsenal to Russia and that they would: 1. Respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders. 2. Refrain from the threat or the use of force against Ukraine. 3. Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine to influence their politics. 4. Seek immediate Security Council action to provide assistance to Ukraine if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used". 5. Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against Ukraine. 6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments. China and France gave somewhat weaker individual assurances in separate documents. US and UK are fulfilling points 4 and 6 in accordance with Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum. Budapest Memorandum's security assurances are weaker than NATO's Article V and EU's Article 42.7. Are you arguing for the UK to abandon the Budapest Memorandum? Douglas Macgregor is not a diplomat.

Unlike the Black Sea with NATO defense treaty allies, Russia has no defense treaty allies around Australia. In 2022, Russia did a similar activity near non-NATO member Ireland's waters.

In turn, this reduced Ukrainian exports by 25 percent and shrank the economy by 1.5 percent. Russia started a series of events that lead to Euromaidan.

The quarantine power has primarily been relied upon in the area of public health.[94] Public health ranges from the regulation of disease prevention to the regulation of tobacco and alcohol.[95] The scope of this power remains uncertain.[96] However, the legislative definition of quarantine includes: the examination, exclusion, detention, observation, segregation, isolation, protection, treatment and regulation of vessels, installations, human beings, animals, plants or other goods or things; or the seizure and destruction of animals, plants, or other goods or things; or the destruction of premises comprising buildings or other structures when treatment of these premises is not practicable; and having as their object the prevention or control of the introduction, establishment or spread of diseases or pests that will or could cause significant damage to human beings, animals, plants, other aspects of the environment or economic activities.[97] While it is conceivable that the quarantine power may support particular aspects of the Commonwealth taking over the administration of public hospitals, such as infection control and therapeutic medicines in Scenario 3, it would be necessary to also rely on other heads of power.[98]

Atomic spies or atom spies were people in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada who are known to have illicitly given information about nuclear weapons production or design to the Soviet Union during World War II and the early Cold War. Klaus Emil Julius Fuchs (29 December 1911 – 28 January 1988) was a German theoretical physicist and atomic spy who supplied information from the American, British, and Canadian Manhattan Project to the Soviet Union during and shortly after World War II. In August 1944, Fuchs joined the Theoretical Physics Division at the Los Alamos Laboratory, working under Hans Bethe. His chief area of expertise was the problem of implosion, necessary for the development of the plutonium bomb. After the war, he returned to the UK and worked at the Atomic Energy Research Establishment at Harwell as head of the Theoretical Physics Division. In January 1950, Fuchs confessed that he had passed information to the Soviets over a seven-year period beginning in 1942. A British court sentenced him to fourteen years' imprisonment and he was subsequently stripped of his British citizenship. He was released in 1959, after serving nine years, and migrated to the German Democratic Republic (East Germany). On 24 September 1933, Klaus Fuchs was a refugee when He arrived in the UK. A Russian operative, Semyon Semyonov was ultimately responsible for the Fuchs relationship.

  9525. President Xi's argument is based on historical Imperial China's Ten Great Campaigns. Territorial disputes around Xi's China are based on Imperial China's Ten Great Campaigns. The Ten Great Campaigns (Chinese: 十全武功; pinyin: Shíquán Wǔgōng) were a series of military campaigns launched by the Qing dynasty of China in the mid–late 18th century during the reign of the Qianlong Emperor (r. 1735–1796). They included three to enlarge the area of Qing control in Inner Asia: two against the Dzungars (1755–1757) and the "pacification" of Xinjiang (1758–1759). The other seven campaigns were more in the nature of police actions on frontiers already established: two wars to suppress the Gyalrong of Jinchuan, Sichuan, another to suppress the Taiwanese Aboriginals (1787–88), and four expeditions abroad against the Burmese (1765–1769), the Vietnamese (1788–1789), and the Gurkhas on the border between Tibet and Nepal (1790–1792), with the last counting as two. During the 4th Sino-Burmese Wars starting in 1768, Imperial China invaded the Kingdom of Burma. Burma hired European musketeers and gunners, hence Burma allied itself with the rising French Empire against Imperial China's invasion. Imperial China's imperialist conquest led to kinetic engagement with other powers. Look in the mirror.

  9527.  @garawa1987  News(from ABC NET AU) : Ancient virus lurking in remote Australia, affecting thousands of Aboriginal adults In a brightly lit lab in the outback town of Alice Springs, researchers have been inspecting vials of blood infected with an ancient virus that has lurked in Australia for thousands of years. It is called T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1— or HTLV-1 — and Australia has the highest levels in the world. A distant relative of HIV, it is a blood-borne virus that can be sexually transmitted or passed from mother to child. The virus can lead to inflammation of the skin, eyes and lungs. "You're also at risk of developing things like leukemia, so blood cancer, and becoming disabled through spinal cord injuries," researcher Joel Liddle said. "Once your pro-viral load is high, you're at a high risk of poor health." Researchers said, in most cases, leukaemia caused by the virus could be "rapidly fatal". Researchers from the Baker Institute for Heart and Diabetes in Alice Springs estimated 45 percent of Indigenous adults in central Australia had HTLV-1 . "In remote Australia, it's so out of sight, out of mind with a lot of things, health is just one of those things," Mr Liddle said. One of the difficulties with this virus is that most of those who have HTLV-1, don't know they have it, and a vast number of Aboriginal communities have never been tested. "I think there's probably confusion and a little bit of anger, too. People [question] why haven't they been told about this," Mr Liddle said. "There's a lot of reasons to breastfeed. Prolonged breastfeeding may be something that could be addressed but that's up to Aboriginal people to decide." For Mr Liddle, an Arrernte man, a response to high rates of HTLV-1 demands a delicate approach, with intensive education work delivered in Aboriginal languages. "I think there's a lot of work to do, certainly I think at the moment, what I see as our main thing is to engage sensitively around the issues because we're dealing with people's health, and all the things and complexities that are going on in remote communities, so we have to be really mindful of that." ------ This ancient virus is related to HIV( i.e. HTLV-1) and reduces an adult's life span. To fix this issue, non-Aboriginal R&D will be needed to cure this ancient issue, promote safe sex culture (i.e. change culture), and practise monogamy (i.e. change culture).

  9528. The Chile example, USSR has supported its Cuban proxy that in turn supported Marxist Salvador Allende. You're a hypocrite. Marxist Salvador Allende clashed with the right-wing parties that controlled Congress and with the judiciary. On 11 September 1973, the military moved to oust Allende in a coup d'état. Marxist Salvador Allende's presidential branch effectively declared war on the judiciary and right-wing majority governed Congress branches. During the 1970 Chilean presidential election, both the United States and the Soviet Union poured money into this election through their intelligence agencies and other sources. 💰KGB money was more precisely targeted. Allende made a personal request for Soviet money through his personal contact, KGB officer Svyatoslav Kuznetsov, who urgently came to Chile from Mexico City to help Allende. The original allocation of money for these elections through the KGB was $400,000, and an additional personal subsidy of $50,000 directly to Allende.[8] It is believed that help from KGB was a decisive factor, because Allende won by a narrow margin of 39,000 votes of a total of the 3 million cast. After the elections, the KGB director Yuri Andropov obtained permission for additional money and other resources from the Central Committee of the CPSU to ensure Allende victory in Congress. In his request on 24 October, he stated that KGB "will carry out measures designed to promote the consolidation of Allende's victory and his election to the post of President of the country". --------------- In your argument's summary, the USSR-supported regime change intervention is okay while the US intervention is bad. Your argument is hypocritical. USSR's proxy attempted to remove Chile's check-and-balance Congress system. USSR's proxy attempted to concentrate political power into a single entity (individual and political party). The US has no problems with the Swedish-style nanny market led-socialism that is practiced in the CANZUK and Nordic groups.

Russia agreed to this in exchange for permission to extend Russia's lease of a major naval base in the Ukrainian Black Sea port of Sevastopol for an additional 25 years (to 2042) with an option for a further 5-year renewal (to 2047).[17] The agreement put a cap on the scale of price hikes; but the main unfavourable terms for Ukraine of the 2009 gas contract remained in place.[18] This pressure caused Yanukovych to make a mistake that breached Ukraine's Constitution 1996, Article 17.

Constitutional monarchy is part of the "Australian way of life" and I don't want another USA. The republican movement lost the last referendum and I voted for a constitutional monarchy, and there's no British blood in me. LOL 2. Officially, the Australian royal title for Queen Elizabeth is " Queen of Australia", not Queen of United Kingdom. I'm also aware of Australia's smallish size and needs to gang up with like-minded countries, hence I support the CANZUK initiative.

  9578.  Tiffany Roberts  1. Even under the Obama administration, AUS/NZ/UK has large disagreements with the USA on health care. http://theconversation.com/why-biologics-were-such-a-big-deal-in-the-trans-pacific-partnership-48595 During the Obama administration, Australia's center-right wing federal government has identified US's "data-exclusivity-medications" condition as the killer to their universal health care system. Aussie's medical patent system also supports the private insurance system's cost controls. 2. Again, the Australian royal title for Queen Elizabeth is " Queen of Australia", not Queen of the United Kingdom. Your argument on Australia being under the thumb of another country is flawed. As for your tyrant argument, constitutional monarchy is just a figured head with effective reserve powers being assigned to GG. A political GG leads to conflicting US-style Presidential vs House of Representative double mandate. Your argument is not consistent.

In the months prior to the Vilnius summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin engaged in a trade war with Kyiv, blocking nearly all imports from Ukraine and cutting energy supplies to the country. In turn, this reduced Ukrainian exports by 25 percent and shrank the economy by 1.5 percent. Ukraine Constitution 1991, Article 17, disallows foreign military bases after 2017. According to former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, Ukraine's constitution forbids the country from hosting foreign military bases after 2017. Yanukovych breached the Ukraine Constitution 1991, Article 17. After 2017, Ukraine's constitution is incompatible with foreign military bases hosting either NATO or CSTO. In 2018, President Petro Poroshenko's constitution amendment allowed temporary foreign military bases. If Yanukovych didn't sign the military base rental extension, Russia would be kicked out of Crimea. Putin's narrative is wrong.

UK's preferential trade condition with CPTPP's members was accidentally established when Trump's USA exited TPP and created CPTPP. UK joins CPTPP. LOL ----- 2. From ABC NET AU : Ancient virus lurking in remote Australia, affecting thousands of Aboriginal adults In a brightly lit lab in the outback town of Alice Springs, researchers have been inspecting vials of blood infected with an ancient virus that has lurked in Australia for thousands of years. It is called T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1— or HTLV-1 — and Australia has the highest levels in the world. A distant relative of HIV, it is a blood-borne virus that can be sexually transmitted or passed from mother to child. The virus can lead to inflammation of the skin, eyes and lungs. "You're also at risk of developing things like leukemia, so blood cancer, and becoming disabled through spinal cord injuries," researcher Joel Liddle said. "Once your pro-viral load is high, you're at a high risk of poor health." Researchers said, in most cases, leukaemia caused by the virus could be "rapidly fatal". Researchers from the Baker Institute for Heart and Diabetes in Alice Springs estimated 45 percent of Indigenous adults in central Australia had HTLV-1 . "In remote Australia, it's so out of sight, out of mind with a lot of things, health is just one of those things," Mr Liddle said. One of the difficulties with this virus is that most of those who have HTLV-1, don't know they have it, and a vast number of Aboriginal communities have never been tested. "I think there's probably confusion and a little bit of anger, too. People [question] why haven't they been told about this," Mr Liddle said. "There's a lot of reasons to breastfeed. Prolonged breastfeeding may be something that could be addressed but that's up to Aboriginal people to decide." For Mr Liddle, an Arrernte man, a response to high rates of HTLV-1 demands a delicate approach, with intensive education work delivered in Aboriginal languages. "I think there's a lot of work to do, certainly I think at the moment, what I see as our main thing is to engage sensitively around the issues because we're dealing with people's health, and all the things and complexities that are going on in remote communities, so we have to be really mindful of that." ------ This ancient virus is related to HIV( i.e. HTLV-1) and reduces an adult's life span.

Marxist Salvador Allende clashed with the right-wing parties that controlled Congress and with the judiciary. On 11 September 1973, the military moved to oust Allende in a coup d'état. Marxist Salvador Allende's presidential branch effectively declared war on the judiciary and right-wing majority-governed Congress branches. During the 1970 Chilean presidential election, both the United States and the Soviet Union poured money into this election through their intelligence agencies and other sources. 💰KGB money was more precisely targeted. Allende made a personal request for Soviet money through his personal contact, KGB officer Svyatoslav Kuznetsov, who urgently came to Chile from Mexico City to help Allende. The original allocation of money for these elections through the KGB was $400,000, and an additional personal subsidy of $50,000 directly to Allende.[8] It is believed that help from KGB was a decisive factor, because Allende won by a narrow margin of 39,000 votes of a total of the 3 million cast. After the elections, the KGB director Yuri Andropov obtained permission for additional money and other resources from the Central Committee of the CPSU to ensure Allende victory in Congress. In his request on 24 October, he stated that KGB "will carry out measures designed to promote the consolidation of Allende's victory and his election to the post of President of the country". --------------- USSR's proxy attempted to remove Chile's check-and-balance Congress system. USSR's proxy attempted to concentrate political power into a single entity (individual and political party).

After the explosions, one of the NS2 pipes remained functional - technically speaking, because it didn't get approval from Germany. As for Russia's motive to destroy the pipeline: Russia stopped supplying gas via NS due to political reasons (Putin's decision). And Russia was sued for this breach of contracts. Blowing up NordStream can be a way to avoid paying huge fines. Only 2 tubes were ever used, and now 1 is available. If the US wanted to shut down gas, why did they leave 1 tube intact?

The main difference between NATO Article V vs EU Article 42.7 is access to the resource-rich USA and Canada which is important in a total war of attrition against Russia.

  9660. For Transnistria, the region's origins can be traced to the Moldavian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, which was formed in 1924 within the Ukrainian SSR. During World War II, the Soviet Union took parts of the Moldavian ASSR, which was dissolved, and of the Kingdom of Romania's Bessarabia to form the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic in 1940. The Moldavian SSR, organised by a decision of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR on 2 August 1940, was formed out of a part of Bessarabia (taken from Romania on 28 June, after the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact) and out of a part of the Moldavian ASSR roughly equivalent to present-day Transnistria. Transnistria was a product of NAZI-Germany's and USSR's Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact.

"On 10 March 2011, France was the first country in the world to recognise the National Transitional Council as the legitimate government of Libya". United Nations Security Council Resolution 1973 was adopted by the United Nations Security Council on 17 March 2011 in response to the First Libyan Civil War. The Security Council resolution was proposed by France, Lebanon, and the United Kingdom. Muammar Gaddafi played stupid games and win stupid prizes.

Other countries like Australia has launching it's orbital capable rockets and developing it's own nuclear weapons before US stepping in and promised nuclear weapon defence umbrella. Australia is Uranium exporting superpower and fuelling India's nuclear materials (pointed against China and Pakistan). Nuclear weapons armed Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Philippines, Australia, New Zealand, Canada would be a nightmare for China and Russia. US has sold Trident missiles to UK(with independent nuclear bombs), and US can sell the same weapons delivery systems for South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Germany :p German armed with nukes has would combine the means and mental drive to wipe out Russia.

  9702.  @tarunkundu9941  >Russia meets EU's 70%demands of Natural gas... FALSE. ----- The United States remained Europe’s top supplier of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in the first 3 months of 2021 as it continued to gain market share at the expense of Russia and Qatar, Europe’s second- and third-largest sources of LNG, according to the EU Commission’s latest European Gas Market Report. The US supplied 24% (4.2 Bcm) of the EU’s overall LNG imports (17 Bcm in Q1 2021); Russia placed second at 21% (3.7 Bcm); and Qatar was third at 18% (3.1 Bcm), the EU Commission reported in early July. When compared to Q4 2020, the US picked up 2% market share from January to March this year, while Russia bested Qatar to become Europe’s second-largest LNG supplier. Nigeria placed fourth, followed by Algeria and Trinidad and Tobago. A review of EU Commission reports dating back to 2019 reveals a steady quarter-to-quarter decline in Europe’s LNG purchases while it also documents the growing rivalry between the US and Russia, Qatar’s fall from dominance, and the emergence of the US as Europe’s top LNG supplier starting Q4 2019. The EU is the world’s third-largest LNG market, though its imports amounted to only about half that of Japan (36 Bcm) and China (32 Bcm) in Q1 2021. European gas consumption rose 7.6% to 132 Bcm in Q1 based on a year-on-year comparison. The commission noted that demand for gas as fuel to generate electricity rose 3.4%, also year-on-year (increasing by 4.9 TWh.) In terms of gas deliveries overall, including pipeline gas, Russia remained the leading gas supplier to Europe (45% of all imports) with the Nord Stream 1 pipeline across the Baltic Sea as its most important supply route. ----- Green policies have caused higher demand for gas.

In turn, this reduced Ukrainian exports by 25 percent and shrank the economy by 1.5 percent.

Respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders. 2. Refrain from the threat or the use of force against Ukraine. 3. Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine to influence their politics. 4. Seek immediate Security Council action to provide assistance to Ukraine if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used". 5. Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against Ukraine. 6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments. China and France gave somewhat weaker individual assurances in separate documents. Russia has exited Budapest Memorandum.

In 1752, Kuwait became independent after an agreement between the Sheikh of Kuwait and the Emir of Bani Khalid in which Bani Khalid recognised Sabah I bin Jaber's independent rule over Kuwait and in exchange Kuwait would not ally itself or support the enemies of Bani Khalid or interfere in the internal affairs of Bani Khalid in any way. 3.

  9758.  @WarblesOnALot  https://www.quora.com/Why-does-the-US-Air-Forces-F-35-stealth-fighter-have-heat-issues-when-flying-supersonic-and-whats-overheating With the completion of developmental flight testing, the F-35 no longer has any heat issues when flying within its design flight envelope (with a top speed of Mach 1.6). In the past however there were 2 sets of speed restrictions: In the FY2015 Director of Operational Test & Evaluation (DOT&E) report for the F-35, it was noted that the program had an airspeed restriction in place where F-35s were not permitted to fly at speeds equal or greater than 500kts below 5,000ft, 550kts between 5,000–15,000ft and 600 knots between 15,000–25,000ft, for more than 10 minutes at a time without opening the weapon bay doors to vent the air inside them. Above 25,000ft there were no restrictions (aside from the Mach 1.6 top speed). The reason that this restriction was put in place was because an electronics system that was moved into a weapons bay for easier maintenance access had not been tested and fully certified to last an acceptably long life in high temperatures. When the F-35’s engine is producing high levels of thrust, it produces a significant amount of heat which is transmitted into the weapon bays. This can result in the weapon bays reaching temperatures of over 80C / 176F, so if a circuit board was only previously tested to 85C / 185F, it would require re-verification. Since that report’s release years ago, those flight restrictions have been removed. When the F-35’s afterburner was used for extended periods of time it would cause heat damage to the inner surfaces and coatings of the horizontal stabilisers (which extend out behind the jet, either side of the exhaust plume. This problem was particularly an issue for the F-35B and F-35C variants which accelerate slower and therefore need more time using afterburner to reach speeds such as Mach 1.6. In the first half of 2018 however, all 3 variants of the F-35 were certified to fly their full flight envelope, and the latest DOT&E report has no mention of this issue remaining, or of afterburner usage restrictions being imposed. As for the F-35’s Mach 1.6 speed limit, this is purely a placard limit, where the manufacturer was only contracted to develop a Mach 1.6 capable fighter and no funding or requirement has been made to test whether the jet can exceed Mach 1.6 by a non-trivial amount. Diagrams of the F-35’s flight envelope suggest that all 3 variants can fly faster than Mach 1.6, with the F-35A’s diagram appearing to suggest a top speed of around Mach 1.8 or higher, but this is speculation, and Lockheed cannot guarantee the jet will continue to be safe to operate to (eg) Mach 1.8 without studies and flight testing. In any case, top speeds are not very relevant to real world combat (due to how quickly jets will drain their already partially-depleted fuel tanks trying to reach them) and there could be thermal issues (either with even hotter weapon bays, or additional horizontal tail heating, or with aerodynamic heating causing issues for the jet’s stealth coatings).

F-35C has a similar wing area to F-15's, near F-15E's empty weight, it's underpowered (thrust relative to its weight and wing area) and 7.5 G limited.

  9769.  @raptordriver7340  From RAAF's F-22A vs F-15D with Digital Radio Frequency Memory (DRFM) experience “…the ability to actually have that data fusion that the aeroplane has makes an incredible difference to how you perform in combat. I saw it first hand on a Red Flag mission in an F15D against a series of fifth-generation F22s. We were actually in the red air. In five engagements we never knew who had hit us and we never even saw the other aeroplane…. After that particular mission I went back and had a look at the tapes on the F22, and the difference in the situational awareness in our two cockpits was just so fundamentally different. That is the key to fifth-generation. That is where I have trouble with the APA analysis…. To me that is key: it is not only stealth; it is the combination of the EOS and the radar to be able to build a comprehensive picture. In that engagement I talked about at Nellis, in Red Flag, the ability to be in a cockpit with a God’s-eye view of what is going on in the world was such an advantage over a fourth-generation fighter – and arguably one of the best fourth-generation fighters in existence, the F15. But even with a DRFM jamming pipe, we still had no chance in those particular engagements. And at no time did any of the performance characteristics that you are talking about have any relevance to those five engagements.” ------------ Both F-35 and F-22 have a passive stereo radar that can locate, track and target EM emission source i.e. F-15 is painting target me with its jammer. F-15EX does NOT replace F-22A or NGAD.

Rebar Ahmed stressed during the Parliament session that in 2014 “we decided to announce Halabja as a governorate,… but perhaps the big problem facing Halabja is that Iraq is not yet ready to recognize it as a governorate. Therefore, the federal government did not allocate a financial budget for it.” Ahmed continued that when the first Kurdish delegation went to Baghdad, it delivered the Prime Minister a request to compensate the victims of the people of Kurdistan with 380 billion dollars for the crimes committed by Saddam Hussein's regime in Halabja, Anfal and to Barzanis, Faili Kurds, and all victims of Baath crimes. The Halabja chemical attack, also known as the Halabja Massacre or Bloody Friday was a massacre of Kurdish people that took place on 16 March 1988, during the closing days of the Iran–Iraq War in the Kurdish city of Halabja in Iraqi Kurdistan. The attack was part of the Al-Anfal Campaign in Kurdistan, as well as part of the Iraqi Army's attempt to repel the Iranian Operation Zafar 7. It took place 48 hours after the capture of the town by the Iranian Army. A United Nations (UN) medical investigation concluded that mustard gas was used in the attack, along with unidentified nerve agents. The incident was the largest chemical weapons attack directed against a civilian-populated area in history, killing between 3,200 and 5,000 people and injuring 7,000 to 10,000 more, most of them civilians. Preliminary results from surveys of the affected region showed an increased rate of cancer and birth defects in the years afterward. The Halabja attack has been officially defined by the Supreme Iraqi Criminal Tribunal as a genocidal massacre against the Kurdish people in Iraq

In the months prior to the Vilnius summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin engaged in a trade war with Kiev, blocking nearly all imports from Ukraine and cutting energy supplies to the country. In turn, this reduced Ukrainian exports by 25 percent and shrank the economy by 1.5 percent. Some trade background for the context From Tradebarrier Index (lower score = less trade barriers) New Zealand's tariff score is 2.92 Australia's tariff score is 3.03 UK's tariff score is 3.94 (after Brexit) Japan's tariff score is 4.05 US's tariff score is 4.54 Germany's tariff score is 4.88 EU's tariff score is 4.88 Russia's tariff score is 6.16 <-------- China's tariff score is 6.8 <------ Russia wants to maintain its higher trade protectionist policies. Victoria Nuland herself doesn't have the power, but about 73% of the MPs—voted to "remove Viktor Yanukovych from the post of president of Ukraine" has the power. Don't assume Ukraine's president has absolute power when 73% of the MPs have voted to "remove Viktor Yanukovych from the post of president of Ukraine". ------ Ukraine Constitution 1991, Article 17, disallows foreign military bases after 2017. According to former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, Ukraine's constitution forbids the country from hosting foreign military bases after 2017. Yanukovych breached the Ukraine Constitution 1991, Article 17. In 2018, President Petro Poroshenko's constitution amendment allowed temporary foreign military bases. Your narrative is wrong.

The Russian Federation initially denied that these were Russian military forces, but on 17 April 2014 Russian President Vladimir Putin finally confirmed the presence of the Russian military. Your attempts to deny Russia little green men in the Russo-Ukrainian War don't hide the fact it benefited Russia's federal system with the slicing of Chimera from Ukraine. In March 2014, the Finnish magazine Suomen Sotilas (Soldier of Finland) published an analysis of the weapons and equipment seen on photos of Russian "little green men". The article points to a number of weapons and pieces of equipment that it asserts are issued only to armed forces in the Russian Federation: New EMR camouflage combat uniforms New 6Sh112 or 6Sh117 tactical vest New 6B27 [ru], 6B7-1M composite helmet New 7.62 mm PKP machine guns 6B26 composite helmets (used only by airborne troops of the Russian Federation) 6Sh92-5 tactical vest (used only by airborne troops of the Russian Federation) Gorka-3 combat uniform (used only by Russian special forces and mountain troops) Smersh AK/VOG tactical vest (used only by Russian special forces) The article goes on to conclude that with a very high probability "these troops are the 45th Guards Separate Reconnaissance Regiment of the VDV" based in Kubinka, Moscow. Other media has published a photo of an unmarked Russian soldier armed with a VSS Vintorez taken as proof of deployment of Russian special forces. On 17 April 2014, President Putin admitted publicly for the first time that Russian special forces were involved in the events of Crimea, for the purposes of protecting local people and creating conditions for a referendum. Later, he admitted that the Russian Armed Forces had blocked the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Crimea during the events.

The three central European countries now face possible fines for refusing to take a share of refugees, after EU leaders forced through mandatory quotas to relocate up to 160,000 asylum seekers at the height of the 2015 migration crisis. Issuing its judgment on Thursday, the European court of justice said the three member states “had failed to fulfil their obligations under European Union law”. The Czech Republic took in just 12 asylum seekers, while Hungary and Poland refused to take a single person.

From WW1 and WW2, mainland Europe has problems with raw resources during a war of attrition while the UK has benefited from raw resources from Canada, Australia (not a NATO member, ANZUS treaty partner), and the United States.

F-35A Empty weight: 28,999 lb (Year 2015). Wing area: 460 ft² Wing loading: 63.04 lbs/ sq feet F-16C Block 52 Wing area: 300 ft² Empty weight: 18,900 lb Wing loading: 63 lbs/ sq feet Tiny wings? F-35A's empty weight is 1.54X scaled from F-16C. F-35A's wing area is 1.53X scaled from F-16C. F-35A's 43000 lbf thrust is 1.50X scaled from F-16C's 28600 lbf. There's a near straight scaling between F16C to F-35A. From http://breakingdefense.com/2014/06/gen-mike-hostage-on-the-f-35-no-growlers-needed-when-war-starts/3/ General Mike Hostage On The F-35 vs F-16 The F-35, he says, has “at least” the maneuverability and thrust and weight of the F-16. The F-35 is to the F-22 as the F-16 is to the F-15. F-35A's main target goal is to replace current service F-16C. Apples to apples comparison based on F-16C's 550 Km combat radius F-35A (Year 2015 build). Set Combat Radius 550 km F-35A has 1407 Km combat radius Empty weight: 28,999 lb Wing Area: 460 ft² Weapons: 2000 lb Fuel: 7230.916844 lb Fuel load based on F-16C's 550Km combat radius Combat load: 38,230 lb Wing loading 83.11 lbs/ sq feet Thurst MIL 28000 lbf Thrust WET 43000 lbf Power-to-Weight: 1.12 :1 F-16C Block 52 Combat Radius 550 km Empty weight: 18,900 lb Wing Area: 300 ft² Weapons: 2000 lb Fuel: 7000 lb Combat load: 27,900 lb Wing loading 93.00 lbs/ sq feet Thrust MIL 17,800 Thrust WET 28,500 lbf Power-to-Weight: 1.02 :1 F-35A remains Power-to-Weight and Wing loading competitive against F-16C Block 52 up to about 800 Km combat radius. F-35A's 1407 Km combat radius is for combat transit range e.g. use Japan islands unsinkable aircraft carrier with more than enough range to strike at North Korea. ------ With body lift area. https://youtu.be/SsUCixAeZ0A?t=1038 F-14 designer (former Northrop Grumman VP Mike Ciminera) with body lift argument debunks Pierre Sprey's wing loading and wing size arguments. Most 4th gen fighters has body lift designs. https://s1.postimg.org/6xbltu4rj/Capture.png F-35A's real wing load i.e. colored green to blue are the lift surfaces. F-35A's real wing load i.e. colored green to blue are the lift surfaces. F-35's engine cowling generates lift that rivals wing lift hence easily duplicating F-18's long LEX or forward fix canards functions. Cant'ed twin tail adds additional rear lift. The oversize rear horizontal stabilizers has some lift and it's responsible for nose pitch (nose pointing). F-35A's effective lift area is about 620 sq ft. I have loaded F-35A's lift area into a CAD program and it yielded about 620 sq ft lift area with green-blue colored lift areas, minus horizontal stabilizers. With max 18,498 lb fuel load, F-35A has 75 lbs/ sq feet. With empty load, F-35A has 46 lbs/ sq feet. The real F-16 designer http://www.codeonemagazine.com/article.html?item_id=37 F-16 Designer Harry Hillaker Harry Hillaker's statement on low wing loading and wing size... We knew that we wanted low wing loading and high thrust loading. But we also knew that low wing loading means more weight and more drag Sprey's argument on wing loading and anti-small wings are not compete. Larger wings introduces higher drag . The trick with F-16's design is have medium wing loading, smallish wings and lower wing load during angle of attack turn with vortex lift. F-16 has blended wing design to get more lift from the body.

  9937.  Yuri  Putin's Russia rebooted imperialist Russia's annexing extra lands from their neighbors' tactics. Before Euromaidan, Russia started a trade war against Ukraine, forcing Yanukovych to sign a base rental extension agreement that breached Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17 disallows foreign military bases after 2017. Read the Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17 which disallows foreign military bases after 2017. CONSTITUTION OF UKRAINE Adopted at the Fifth Session of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on 28 June 1996 Article 17 The location of foreign military bases shall not be permitted on the territory of Ukraine. Yanukovych breached the Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17. After 2017, Ukraine's constitution is incompatible with foreign military bases hosting either NATO or CSTO. If Yanukovych didn't sign the military base rental extension, Russia would be kicked out of Crimea. Putin's narrative is FALSE. Putin's pressure caused Yanukovych to make a mistake.

In that treaty, Japan had formally ceded sovereignty over the island, but it was not decided to whom. Most countries at the 1951 Peace Conference argued that Taiwan’s status needed to be determined in due time, in accordance with the principle of self-determination enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations. Post-WW2, Taiwan and the Pescadores islands are not handed to China, and KMT is a foreign government in exile under the American occupation of Japanese Taiwan islands. In Taiwan, the KMT government was politically defeated by partly aboriginal Taiwanese Tsai Ing-wen Democratic Progressive Party. On the eve of the 1894 Sino-Japanese War, about 45 percent of the island was administered under the direct Manchus Qing administration (Imperial China) while the remaining was populated by Taiwanese aborigines. Manchus Qing administration's Imperial China didn't fully control Taiwan.

The first, that of the HMS Endeavour, left England in August 1768 and had its climax on April 20, 1770, when a crewman sighted southeastern Australia. Cook landed several times, most notably at Botany Bay and at Possession Island in the north, where on August 23 he claimed the land, naming it New South Wales Meanwhile Flinders had returned home and in 1801 was appointed to command an expedition that would circumnavigate Australia and virtually complete the charting of the continent. Over the next three years Flinders proved equal to this task. Above all, he left no doubt that the Australian continent was a single landmass. Appropriately, Flinders urged that the name Australia replace New Holland, and this change received official backing from 1817. ----- From 1644, Australia was called New Holland by the Dutch From April 20, 1770, Australia was called New South Wales by the British.

  10018.  @johngoscinski1995  My comments are based on F-16's real designer i.e. Harry Hillaker. A statement from the real F-16 designer on a larger wing area http://www.codeonemagazine.com/article.html?item_id=37 F-16 Designer Harry Hillaker Harry Hillaker's statement on low wing loading and wing size... _For example, the drag coefficient of an F-16 is about the same as that of an F-4. However, the F-16 has about one-third the drag of an F-4 in level flight. At angle of attack, it is about one-fifteenth We knew that we wanted low wing loading and high thrust loading. But we also knew that low wing loading means more weight and more drag Critics like Pierre Sprey's argument on low wing loading are insufficient. Pierre Sprey didn't tell you the larger wings introduce higher drag. Pierre Sprey did NOT design F-16! The trick with F-16's design is to have medium wing loading, smallish wings, and lower wing loading during an angle of attack turn with vortex lift. F-16 has a blended body-wing design to generate extra lift from the body. For vortex lift generation, F-16 was designed with low drag at an angle of attack, hence smaller wings.

  10019.  @JoseFernandez-wu8pj  Japan's Mitsubishi F-2 has a low RCS (radar cross-section) full composite wings design which differs from the normal F-16C. R&D cost was spread across over low unit numbers. Mitsubishi F-2's avionics are similar to F-16E Block 60 e.g. AESA radar. Japan's F-15J is being upgraded to F15-JSI with AESA radar-related avionics. The major difference between F-15-JSI vs F-15EX is with the digital FCS that enables F-15X's high angle of attack features. USAF's F-15E-0 and F-15E-1 build don't have F-15EX's digital FCS high angle of attack features. Japan's Mitsubishi F-35A has a higher per-unit cost when compared to Lockheed-(TX, USA)'s and Leonardo-(Italy, EU)'s F-35A builds. Lockheed-(TX, USA)'s F-35A Lot 14 build = about $79 million per unit. Mitsubishi F-35A build = about $85 million per unit.

Gripen's Angle of Attack capability is inferior to classic Hornets, let alone F-35's. Gripen's AoA limit is about 28 degrees that's is slightly higher than F-16C. Rafale's AoA limit is 29 degrees. Classic Hornets has 45 degrees AoA. F-35A has 50 degrees AoA under software limit, without software limit, it was able to sustain 70 degrees and 110 degrees momentary AoA. F-16 Vista with TVC can sustain 90 degrees AoA. Finland purchased F-35A Block 4.

For the Netherlands, F-35A Block 3F was able to use its BAE-designed active stealth (digital jammer) to cover the blue team's F16A MLUs against the red team's F-16A MLUs. Against BAE's active stealth (digital jammer), F-16C Block 40/50 level avionics are obsolete. Again, Stealth is not a cloaking device. US's stealth definition is based on the Very Low Observation (VLO) category relative to the Low Observation (LO).

  10038. ​ @cliffordnelson8454  >And the F-16 does not come close to planes like the Grippen with its canards. F-16A/C has 25 degrees AoA limit. Beyond 25 degrees, F-16 is out of control. Gripen has 28 degrees AoA limit. Rafale has 29 degrees AoA limit. F/A-18A Hornet has 45 degrees AoA limit. Super Hornet F/A-18E and some classic F/A-18C Hornets have higher AoA. Finish and Swiss F-18C variants can exceed the 45 degrees AoA limit. F-35A Block 3F has 50 degrees AoA software limit. Without software limit, F-35A can sustain 70 degrees AoA i.e. it can deliver most of F-16 VISTA with thrust vector control's 90 degrees sustain AoA. In terms of dogfight doctrine, Hornet operators can easily upgrade to F-35A Block 3F's "Hornet with a turbo" (Dutch claim at F-35A Block 3i, 2016).

  10039.  @cliffordnelson8454  F-15 with digital FCS can reach high AoA since its tail horizontal stabilizers design is similar to F/A-18's, F-22A's, and F-35A/B/C i.e. horizontal stabilizers are placed after the engine nozzles. F-15 lacking the twin canted vertical tails do not have improvements for yaw or hammerhead maneuvering. F-15 has a body lift design that was demonstrated with a single wing F-15 incident. At empty weight, F-35A's wing loading is based on F-16C Block 50's. There's a 1.5X scale design factor for F-16C to F-35A. F-16XL's larger wing degrades acceleration that is important for exiting an instantaneous turn. SU-27SK beats Gripen C in sustain turn rates despite Gripen C's low wing loading. Gripen C's weak engines don't maximize its low wing loading. Harry Hillaker's statement on low wing loading and wing size... _For example, the drag coefficient of an F-16 is about the same as that of an F-4. However, the F-16 has about one-third the drag of an F-4 in level flight. At angle of attack, it is about one-fifteenth We knew that we wanted low wing loading and high thrust loading.

  10040.  @cliffordnelson8454  For the Gripen design, it would need to be redesigned for large diameter engines e.g. UK BAE's Tempest with twin 43k lbf engines. UK RR has a fighter engine design that is competitive against PW F-135's thrust. Saab has joined the Team Tempest. USAF NGAD has at least twin F-135 +43k lbf class engines. Once the engine design with a practical thrust target is established, a fighter aircraft design can be designed around it.

  10054.  @missouriresole4726  Nope. South Korea previously flirted with the idea of developing nuclear weapons in the 1970s, when it ran a secret program. But when the United States found out, it issued an ultimatum. Seoul could carry on, or have the US defend it, with the full force of its existing nuclear arsenal. It picked US support, and to this day tens of thousands of US troops remain stationed on the Korean peninsula. US allies like Australia doesn't have NATO Article V level defense agreement with the US. Australia was tesring nukes in 1950s along with the UK partner. Similar setup for Taiwan and Japan. Budapest Memorandum's US security assurance offer and Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty membership are not unique. The issue is US's GOP isolationist movement e.g. Trump's allowing US allies to have independent nukes and the US exit from related defense obligations. The problem is when US exits, other countries wouldn't have the R&D time to replace US nuclear security arrangements.

  10055. Certain European countries has veto'ed it. Q: So why isn’t Russia a member of NATO? A: Despite Russia signaling its interest to join NATO, there has since been a lot of tension between them. “Once Russia can show it is upholding democracy and human rights, NATO can seriously consider its membership,”says Rasmussen, the former Danish Prime Minister who served as NATO Secretary General from 2009 to 2014. In the meantime, he adds “we tried to build strong cooperation with Moscow.” He cites the 2002 Russia-NATO council, a development of the 1997 Act, which serves as a mechanism for cooperation, consensus building and joint-decision making. “We do share common interests. We cooperated on counter terrorism in Afghanistan, counter narcotics and counter piracy,” says Rasmussen.

Under this political agreement, Australia and the EU pledged to continue expanding cooperation in five broadly defined areas. In particular, the paper examines those sections of the Partnership Framework that relate to cooperation between Australia and the EU on security matters, multilateralism, climate change, democracy promotion, human rights, and their cooperation on overseas development assistance (ODA) in the South Pacific. In political terms, the EU has an active global agenda, which has been strengthened, since 1993, with the development of a Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP). The three pillars which form the basic structure of the EU include: 1. the Community pillar 2. the CFSP pillar, and 3.

  10081.  @kickDustPedestrian  From euractiv However, Germany’s Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock, who is also from the Greens, sees things in a different light. “As things stand at present, this pipeline cannot be approved because it does not meet the requirements of European energy law,” Baerbock told ZDF on 12 December, saying “the safety issues are still unresolved anyway”. Furthermore, it is clear “that in the event of further escalations, this pipeline could not be connected to the grid,” she said, noting that the agreement struck with the US during the last year of Angela Merkel’s reign had foreseen a similar understanding. The US had sought to ensure the territorial integrity of Ukraine without upholding the sanctions on the pipeline that had raised hackles in Berlin. Her position has now been enhanced by her fellow Green Super-Minister Robert Habeck. “Any new military action cannot remain without severe consequences,” Habeck stated in the interview as reported by DW. The option of blocking the pipeline would be on the table, if “there is a new violation of the territorial integrity” of Ukraine, he said. As Scholz has been officially appointed Chancellor on 8 December, the row may officially mark the end of the shortest ever honeymoon period for a German government, and reveals the difficult position his coalition currently finds itself in. Germany is heavily reliant on gas: more than 25% of energy used in the country comes from natural gas, a majority of which is imported from Russia. Nord Stream 2 is a beloved project of the SPD. The last SPD chancellor before Scholz, Gerhard Schröder, had overseen the construction of Nord Stream 1 while powerful party leaders continue to be committed to it. Scholz was secretary-general of the SPD under Schröder, underlining his longstanding involvement in the project. “We need this gas pipeline,” said Manuela Schwesig, the dominant SPD minister-president of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern in an interview with Spiegel, warning against “mixing the constriction of the pipeline with foreign policy issues”. The new Chancellor appears stuck between the demands of his party but is being publicly challenged by his vice chancellor and some of the government’s most powerful ministers, revealing internal tensions within the young government coalition. The €11 billion pipeline, which has been called “the biggest mistake” of Angela Merkel by EPP President Donald Tusk, may continue to rock domestic and foreign politics long after her departure. ---- German Greens will kill Nord Stream 2. Without the greens, Scholz's government is dead.

  10105.  @larryhats4320  Note that partitions of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth took place toward the end of the 18th century and UK was already a major power during the late 18th century. Background for Anglo-Prussian alliance Although the British had hoped to avoid war, Frederick the Great of Prussia launched a pre-emptive strike against Austria in August 1756. Frederick overran Saxony but was soon faced with an onslaught of enemies, including France, Austria, Sweden and Russia and so was forced to retreat from Bohemia. By 1757, it appeared that without substantive British assistance, Prussia would soon collapse. In 1756, there was an Anglo-Prussian alliance. In 1759, Britain has defeated France in Europe, North America and Asia and by repelling a planned French invasion into Britain. Britain won a number of key victories over Spain in 1762. The Anglo-Prussian alliance was eventually dissolved in 1762 when Britain withdrew financial and military support for Prussian war aims in Continental Europe. Prussia concluded the Russo-Prussian Alliance in 1764 . LOL UK is a major player in the 18th century and it didn't have a defence treaty with Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. You're wrong. 1764 Russo-Prussian Alliance leads to the partitions of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. You're wrong.

  10106.  @larryhats4320  Note that UK's current royal family line is from the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, a German dynasty. It takes its name from its oldest domain, the Ernestine duchy of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, but its members later sat on the thrones of the United Kingdom, Belgium, Portugal, Brazil, and Bulgaria. Founded in 1826 by Ernest Anton, the sixth duke of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld, it is a cadet branch of the Saxon House of Wettin. Agnatic branches currently reign in Belgium—the descendants of Leopold I, and in the United Kingdom—the descendants of Albert, Prince Consor. In 1917, the First World War caused George V to change the name from "Saxe-Coburg and Gotha" to "Windsor". Notice "Belgium" which is an important factor for British Empire's entry into WW1.

After the 2nd Barbary Wars, a treaty was signed aboard the USS Guerriere in the Bay of Algiers on 3 July 1815. In early 1816, Britain undertook a diplomatic mission, backed by a squadron of ships of the line, to Tunis, Tripoli, and Algiers to convince the Deys to stop their piracy and free European Christians slaves. Two separate actions from the USA and UK have wreaked Ottoman Empire's hold over North Africa that includes Egypt. You're forgetting Ottoman Empire's fire starter actions.

  10108.  @larryhats4320  Note that the European Union is a creation of the US CIA that guided European governments into the union without wars.

U.S. officials warned their contacts in Europe to impose the scheme by stealth, and to avoid public debate until the “adoption of such proposals would become virtually inescapable.” The road map appears to have been followed and it worked. US CIA's road map for the European Union is superior and avoided world wars. Your advocacy for European unity via armed wars is flawed .

  10117.  @larryhats4320  >no landmines there except "omg building a fleet" and everything else was just generally "oh snap Europe getting strong again, we gotta destroy it" Unmanaged landmines can kill civilians after the war while a navy fleet is easier to control and manage. A navy is useless against land warfare e.g. 1. UK's large navy vs Germany's large army was a mismatch during the phoney war. 2. Imperial Japan's large navy was nearly useless during the Soviet-Japanese War of 1939. "Defense treaty landmine" is a figure of speech for the defense treaty trigger. >But really 1939 and 1914 fit exactly into that. "British interests" is codeword for "let's destroy Europe to keep Europe weak" That's red herring. For WW1, if Germany didn't invade Belgium, then the British Empire wouldn't have entered WW1. You're NOT accounting for the defense treaty triggers! Germany built a large military machine to add European land territory into itself and it's a proven fact. US CIA's stealth method to build a federalized Europe is superior to Hilter's armed conflicts to impose forced unity. Hint: the US doesn't want another very bloody European-triggered world wars. The US rather return to its shopkeeper mode.

For Transnistria, the region's origins can be traced to the Moldavian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, which was formed in 1924 within the Ukrainian SSR. During World War II, the Soviet Union took parts of the Moldavian ASSR, which was dissolved, and of the Kingdom of Romania's Bessarabia to form the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic in 1940. The Moldavian SSR, organised by a decision of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR on 2 August 1940, was formed out of a part of Bessarabia (taken from Romania on 28 June, after the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact) and out of a part of the Moldavian ASSR roughly equivalent to present-day Transnistria. Transnistria was a product of NAZI-Germany's and USSR's Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact. Russia is actually supporting the NAZI-era Molotov–Ribbentrop pact Just on a sidenote: Europeans including Russians do have a common fate: two World Wars. It's a byproduct of the UK and Poland defense agreement that only specified Nazi Germany and it watered down USSR's Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact component. Russia's land-grabbing imperialist behavior despite having the world's largest land area is part of WW2's problem.

  10172. "We cannot buy our security, our freedom from the threat of the bomb by committing an immorality so great as saying to a billion human beings now enslaved behind the Iron Curtain, "Give up your dreams of freedom because to save our own skins, we're willing to make a deal with your slave masters." Alexander Hamilton said, "A nation which can prefer disgrace to danger is prepared for a master, and deserves one." Now let's set the record straight. There's no argument over the choice between peace and war, but there's only one guaranteed way you can have peace -- and you can have it in the next second -- surrender. Admittedly, there's a risk in any course we follow other than this, but every lesson of history tells us that the greater risk lies in appeasement, and this is the specter our well-meaning liberal friends refuse to face -- that their policy of accommodation is appeasement, and it gives no choice between peace and war, only between fight or surrender. If we continue to accommodate, continue to back and retreat, eventually we have to face the final demand -- the ultimatum. And what then -- when Nikita Khrushchev has told his people he knows what our answer will be? He has told them that we're retreating under the pressure of the Cold War, and someday when the time comes to deliver the final ultimatum, our surrender will be voluntary, because by that time we will have been weakened from within spiritually, morally, and economically. He believes this because from our side he's heard voices pleading for "peace at any price" or "better Red than dead," or as one commentator put it, he'd rather "live on his knees than die on his feet." And therein lies the road to war, because those voices don't speak for the rest of us. You and I know and do not believe that life is so dear and peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery. If nothing in life is worth dying for, when did this begin -- just in the face of this enemy? Or should Moses have told the children of Israel to live in slavery under the pharaohs? Should Christ have refused the cross? Should the patriots at Concord Bridge have thrown down their guns and refused to fire the shot heard 'round the world? The martyrs of history were not fools, and our honored dead who gave their lives to stop the advance of the Nazis didn't die in vain. Where, then, is the road to peace? Well it's a simple answer after all. You and I have the courage to say to our enemies, "There is a price we will not pay." "There is a point beyond which they must not advance." And this -- this is the meaning in the phrase of Barry Goldwater's "peace through strength." Winston Churchill said, "The destiny of man is not measured by material computations. When great forces are on the move in the world, we learn we're spirits -- not animals." And he said, "There's something going on in time and space, and beyond time and space, which, whether we like it or not, spells duty." You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We'll preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we'll sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness."

  10174.  @Mcvalverte  Phoronix's reviews show improvements for 9950X. Hint: "AVX-512 is used in Cinebench 2024, but in such low amounts that it’s irrelevant." Cinebench 2024 is a bad benchmark for SIMD. From running Cinebench under Intel’s Software Development Emulator, Cinebench 2024 heavily leverages the AVX extension. Like libx264 video encoding, scalar integer instructions still play a major role. Both libx264 and Cinebench contrast with Y-Cruncher, which is dominated by AVX-512 instructions. AVX-512 is used in Cinebench 2024, but in such low amounts that it’s irrelevant. Although SSE and AVX provide 128-bit and 256-bit vector support respectively, Cinebench 2024 makes little use of vector compute. Most AVX or SSE instructions operate on scalar values. The most common FP/vector math instructions are VMULSS (scalar FP32 multiply) and VADDSS (scalar FP32 add). About 6.8% of instructions do math on 128-bit vectors. 256-bit vectors are nearly absent, but AVX isn’t just about vector length. It provides non-destructive three operand instruction formats, and Cinebench leverages that.

  10190.  @淡了时间距离  There are opposing views on the legality of the KMT takeover of Taiwan. The Chinese Communist government maintains to this day that the Republic of China on Taiwan is a province that must eventually return to rule by the mainland. According to an article published in 1955 on the legal status of Taiwan, "It has been charged that Chiang Kai-shek has no claim to the island because he is 'merely a fugitive quartering his army' there and besides, his is a government in exile." Moreover, the Treaty of San Francisco, which was officially signed by 48 nations on 8 September 1951, did not specify to whom Japan was ceding Taiwan and the Pescadores. Despite this, the ROC was viewed by the vast majority of states at the time as the legitimate representative of China, as it had succeeded the Qing Dynasty, while the PRC was at the time a mostly unrecognized state. Japan was, at the time of the signing of the Treaty of San Francisco, still technically under American occupation. After full independence, Japan established full relations with the ROC and not the PRC. According to Professor Gene Hsiao, "since the San Francisco Peace Treaty and the separate KMT treaty with Japan did not specify to whom Japan was ceding Taiwan and the Pescadores, the implication of the U.S. position was that legally, and insofar as the signatories of those two treaties were concerned, Taiwan became an 'ownerless' island and the KMT, by its own assent to the American policy, a foreign government-in-exile." Technically, KMT is a foreign government in exile under the American occupation of Japanese Taiwan islands.

In that treaty, Japan had formally ceded sovereignty over the island, but it was not decided to whom.

  10196.  @老渡-i9c  When the Dutch East India Company arrived in Taiwan in 1624, they found no traces of any administration by the Ming Dynasty, which ruled China from 1368 through 1644. In fact, the Dutch – who had established a small fortress in the Pescadores in 1622 – were told by the Ming Tianqi Emperor that they should “go beyond our territory,” so the Dutch moved to what was then called Formosa, and ruled the island for 38 years, establishing the first administrative structure on Taiwan. Thus, it certainly was never part of the Ming Dynasty. Dutch rule ended in 1662, when Ming follower Koxinga – escaping from the newly-established Qing / Manchu Dynasty – sailed from the Fukien (Fujian) coast with some 400 ships and 25,000 men and laid siege around the Dutch fortress Zeelandia. After nine months, the Dutch surrendered, and Koxinga established his rule in the southwestern corner of Taiwan. This would only last for 21 years, until the surrender by his grandson to the forces of the Qing Dynasty in the Battle of Penghu in 1683. Koxinga and his family ruled Taiwan as the independent Kingdom of Tungning, not as part of the Ming Dynasty, which was gone by that time. The Qing emperor’s aim at the time was to destroy the rebellious Koxinga regime, not to conquer the island. In 1683, the Kangxi Emperor said specifically that “Taiwan is outside our empire and of no great consequence” and even offered to have the Dutch buy it back. Perhaps this is an inconvenient truth for the current rulers in Beijing. You can't handle the truth.

  10197.  @老渡-i9c  Status “To Be Determined” Taiwan’s formal status became nebulous after the Japanese surrender in August 1945. During the period 1945-1949, Taiwan was officially considered “occupied by the ROC [Republic of China] on behalf of the Allied Forces.” Its status was to be determined later, via the formal treaty that would end World War II, which eventually became the San Francisco Peace Treaty of 1951-52. The U.S. government thus did not formally consider Taiwan to be “part of China,” but it was obviously administered – pretty badly – by the Chinese Nationalist (Kuomintang, or KMT) forces of Chiang Kai-shek and the ROC. Of course, the KMT government itself took the position that Taiwan had been “returned” to China on Retrocession Day on October 25, 1945. But the U.S. government never recognized that position. Some in the U.S. government, such as General Douglas MacArthur, continued to push for a referendum under the auspices of the U.N., but after MacArthur’s falling-out with President Harry Truman his advice was not followed. However, the debate showed that the United States had not taken the position that during the period “Taiwan was part of China.” ---

Most countries at the 1951 Peace Conference argued that Taiwan’s status needed to be determined in due time, in accordance with the principle of self-determination enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations. Post-WW2, Taiwan and the Pescadores islands are not handed to China, and KMT is a foreign government in exile under the American occupation of Japanese Taiwan islands. In Taiwan, the KMT (pro-ROC) government was politically defeated by partly aboriginal Taiwanese Tsai Ing-wen Democratic Progressive Party. On the eve of the 1894 Sino-Japanese War, about 45 percent of the island was administered under the direct Manchus Qing administration (Imperial China) while the remaining was populated by Taiwanese aborigines. FACT: Imperialist Manchus Qing administration's Imperial China didn't fully control Taiwan prior to the 1894 Sino-Japanese War.

  10201.  @老渡-i9c  Your "three Sino-US Joint Communiqués" narrative is false. No formal treaty was passed by the US Congres in relation to the "Three Communiqués". The 1st Joint Communiqué (a.k.a Shanghai Communiqué) was published in 1972 during the Nixon Presidency. No formal treaty was passed by the US Congres in relation to the 1st Joint Communiqué. For the 2nd Joint Communiqué, President Jimmy Carter unilaterally annul the Sino-American Mutual Defense Treaty with the ROC, in response, the U.S. Congress passed the Taiwan Relations Act. US Congress had overwhelmingly passed the Taiwan Relations Act (TRA) mandating that the United States provide Taiwan with “a sufficient self-defense capability.” Taiwan Relations Act (TRA) overrides President Jimmy Carter's Sino-American Mutual Defense Treaty with the ROC annulment! The TRA was an angry and instantaneous reaction to Carter’s rupture of diplomatic and military relations with the Republic of China. Reagan immediately disavowed the communique. According to Kissinger, he (Reagan) admonished the National Review’s editor: “You can tell your friends there I have not changed my mind one damn bit about Taiwan. Whatever weapons they need to defend themselves against attacks or invasion by Red China, they will get from the United States.” Known as the Six Assurances, it provided that Washington would not (1) set a date for termination of arms sales, (2) amend the TRA, (3) consult with China regarding U.S. arms sales, (4) mediate between Taiwan and China, (5) alter its position that Taiwan’s future be decided peacefully between the parties, or pressure Taiwan to negotiate, or (6) recognize Chinese sovereignty over Taiwan.

By granting the Senate the sole power to offer advice and consent on nominations and treaties, the Constitution gives senators a major role in American foreign policy. Presidents nominate diplomats and negotiate treaties, but the Senate determines whether those nominees will serve or if those treaties will be ratified.

  10208.  @AlphaHorst  Nope, the English language has a Germanic framework with many French/Latin loan words. English's French loan words were before 1316–1328 "100-year war against France". Most of the French vocabulary now appearing in English was imported over the centuries following the Norman Conquest of 1066, when England came under the administration of Norman-speaking peoples. William the Conqueror invaded the British Isles, distributing lands and property to Norman, Breton, Flemish, and French soldiers. As a result, Old French became the language of culture and the administration, evolving into Anglo-Norman French. The majority of the population of England continued to use their Anglo-Saxon language, but it was influenced by the language of the ruling elite, resulting in doublets. You should read up on those things before you make such a statement.

  10211.  @alexsilent5603  From the same The Guardian news article The Russians had moved mercenaries and paramilitary forces into South Ossetia in apparent preparation for armed hostilities before Saakashvili's disastrous offensive, which triggered a Russian invasion and left his country partitioned. But the proper Russian reponse to the artillery barrage came – by land, sea and air – 12 hours after the Georgian action. The report concluded that South Ossetian irregular forces violated the rules of war in attacks on Georgian villages and that Russian peacekeeping forces "would not or could not" control them. Russian claims of Georgian "genocide" in South Ossetia were dismissed and Russian claims that Georgians had killed 2,000 civilians were found to be wildly exaggerated. The report put the figure of civilian dead at 162 on the South Ossetian side. The secession of South Ossetia and Abkhazia from Georgia was branded illegal and Russian recognition of the two "states" in breach of international law.The report found that Moscow had been assiduously preparing the secession by, among other things, a policy of "passportification", illegally distributing Russian passports on a mass scale among the breakaway populations It traced the conflict back to the early 90s and the fallout from the collapse of the Soviet Union and accused the Kremlin of abusing its status as a "great power" to coerce "a small and insubordinate neighbour." The Russian forces in South Ossetia failed to stop irregulars conduct a campaign of ethnic cleansing against Georgian villages, entailing looting, rape, hostage-taking, and arbitrary arrest.

Mongols are a different topic from Putin's argument about Ukraine. IF a country has a large land area, it can trade land for extra time and stretch the enemy's logistic chain, but that's pure land warfare doctrine. Long land warfare for the US/UK during WW2 examples 1. For the North African front, war materials were supplied by naval shipments that are close to the land army's progress. Mass-produced medium tanks have a better affinity with long-range land warfare when compared to heavy tanks. Both the US and USSR have similar "quantity have a quality all its own" doctrine. For total war, the "quantity has a quality all its own" idea is applied for F-16's and F-35's single hot core engine design. 2. During the western allies' invasion of Nazi Germany, western allies keep establishing northern European seaports for naval shipments that are close to the land army's progress, instead of classic railroad shipments methods. US/UK hardly used the French railroad system since US/UK has a maritime bias mindset.

  10218.  @andriandrason1318  Norman or Norman French (Normaund, French: Normand, Guernésiais: Normand, Jèrriais: Nouormand) is, depending on classification, either a French dialect or a Romance language which can be classified as one of the Oïl languages along with French, Picard and Walloon.

  10219.  @andriandrason1318  Norman is a Northern French dialect. Normand is part of France. The Francophones of France generally use Metropolitan French, spoken in Paris (Parisian French) and considered standard. Norman is spoken in mainland Normandy in France, where it has no official status, but is classed as a regional language. It is taught in a few colleges near Cherbourg-Octeville. The Anglo-Norman dialect of Norman served as a language of administration in England following the Norman conquest of England in 1066. This left a legacy of Law French in the language of English courts (though it was also influenced by Parisian French). In Ireland, Norman remained strongest in the area of south-east Ireland, where the Hiberno-Normans invaded in 1169. Norman remains in (limited) use for some very formal legal purposes in the UK, such as when the monarch gives royal assent to an Act of Parliament using the phrase, "La Reyne (le Roy) le veult" ("The Queen (the King) wills it"). Parisian French becomes the standard French language due to Paris being the capital of France. If we are talking only about what is considered standard French within France, though, then we are talking about the Metropolitan/Parisian dialect.

  10221.  @andriandrason1318  For the term French and France. The name France refers to the original Germanic tribes who lived around modern-day France. The term "Franks" emerged in the 3rd century AD, covering Germanic tribes who settled on the northern Rhine frontier of the Roman Empire, including the Bructeri, Ampsivarii, Chamavi, Chattuarii and Salians. The original core territory of the Frankish kingdom later came to be known as Austrasia (the "eastern lands"), while the large Romanised Frankish kingdom in northern Gaul came to be known as Neustria. Romans changed "Franks" Germanic tribes into speaking Latin. The French can blame the Roman Empire (Italy) for the cultural genocide against the original Germanic culture. The division between the Latin and Germanic worlds is the legacy from the Roman Empire (Italy).
    1
  10222.  @andriandrason1318  Without the Roman Empire (Italy)'s interference, the Germanic world would spread from France to the edge of Poland (part of the Slavic peoples with unresolved issues against Russians) and into Britain, then to North America. Unlike Napoleon, Kaiser (WW1), and Hilter (WW2)'s attempts with either French or German dominance, NATO is an attempt to undo Roman Empire (Italy)'s historic interference and NATO's member states are treated equally with veto power. EU is an attempt to undo Roman Empire (Italy)'s historic interference with similar goals as NATO, but specific for the European mainland. From US declassified documents, the European monetary union is guided by the US CIA to create another United States in Europe. The US is a little annoyed against UK's backsliding, but they are forgiven. The US will not tolerate another European hot war.

  10223.  @СергейКорепин-к1о  1918, 1. Allied intervention in the Russian Civil War consisted of a series of multi-national military expeditions which began in 1918. The Allies first had the goal of helping the Czechoslovak Legion in securing supplies of munitions and armaments in Russian ports. At times between 1918 and 1920 the Czechoslovak Legion controlled the entire Trans-Siberian Railway and several major cities in Siberia. By 1919 the goal was to help the White forces in the Russian Civil War . 2. The goals of these small-scale interventions were partly to stop Germany from exploiting Russian resources , to defeat the Central Powers, and to support some of the Allied forces that had become trapped within Russia after the Bolshevik revolution. Allied troops also landed in Arkhangelsk and in Vladivostok as part of the North Russia intervention and Siberian intervention. The Czechoslovak Legion was at times in control of most of the Trans-Siberian railway and all major cities in Siberia. Austro-Hungarian prisoners were of a number of various nationalities; some Czechoslovak POWs deserted to the Russian Army. Czechoslovaks had long desired to create their own independent state, and the Russians aided in establishing special Czechoslovak units (the Czechoslovak Legions) to fight the Central Powers. The signing of the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk ensured that prisoners-of-war (POW) would be repatriated. In 1917, the Bolsheviks stated that if the Czechoslovak Legions remained neutral and agreed to leave Russia, they would be granted safe passage through Siberia en route to France via Vladivostok to fight with the Allied forces on the Western Front. The Czechoslovak Legions travelled via the Trans-Siberian Railway to Vladivostok. However, fighting between the Legions and the Bolsheviks erupted in May 1918. Allied concerns The Allied Powers became concerned at the collapse of the Eastern Front and the loss of their Tsarist ally to communism, and there was also the question of the large quantities of supplies and equipment in Russian ports, which the Allied Powers feared might be seized by the Germans. Also worrisome to the Allied Powers was the April 1918 landing of a division of German troops in Finland, increasing speculation they might attempt to capture the Murmansk-Petrograd railway, and subsequently the strategic port of Murmansk and possibly Arkhangelsk. Other concerns regarded the potential destruction of the Czechoslovak Legions and the threat of Bolshevism, the nature of which worried many Allied governments. Meanwhile, Allied materiel in transit quickly accumulated in the warehouses in Arkhangelsk and Murmansk. Estonia had established a national army with the support of Finnish volunteers and were defending against the 7th Red Army's attack Faced with these events, the British and French governments decided upon an Allied military intervention in Russia. Ironically, however, the first British landing in Russia came at the request of a local (Bolshevik) Soviet council. Fearing a German attack on the town, the Murmansk Soviet requested that the Allies landed troops for protection. British troops arrived on 4 March 1918, the day after the signing of the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk between Germany and the Bolshevik government. (Bolshevik) Soviet council requested aid from the British against the Germans. LOL

  10224.  @СергейКорепин-к1о  The Russian Revolution has gone down in history as the victory of the workers and peasants over the Czarist rulers. Few people realize the German Kaiser was also involved: He gave aid to the Bolsheviks in 1917. Be careful to not choke on your aspirations. In the end, Russia itself terminated USSR. The Russian borders established by the Treaty_of_Brest-Litovsk bear an almost exact similarity to the post-1991 borders established after the fall of the Soviet Union. The Treaty of Brest-Litovsk meant that Russia now was helping Germany win the war by freeing up a million German soldiers for the Western Front and by "relinquishing much of Russia's food supply, industrial base, fuel supplies, and communications with Western Europe". According to historian Spencer Tucker, the Allied Powers felt that "The treaty was the ultimate betrayal of the Allied cause and sowed the seeds for the Cold War. With Brest-Litovsk, the spectre of German domination in Eastern Europe threatened to become reality, and the Allies now began to think seriously about military intervention [in Russia]." For the Western Allied Powers, the terms that Germany had imposed on Russia were interpreted as a warning of what to expect if the Central Powers won the war. Between Brest-Litovsk and the point when the situation in the Western Front became dire, some officials in the German government and the high command began to favor offering more lenient terms to the Allied Powers in exchange for their recognition of German gains in the east. The treaty marked a significant contraction of the territory controlled by the Bolsheviks or that they could lay claim to as effective successors of the Russian Empire. While the independence of Poland was already accepted by them in principle, and Lenin had signed a document accepting the Finnish independence, the loss of Ukraine and the Baltics created, from the Bolshevik perspective, dangerous bases of anti-Bolshevik military activity in the subsequent Russian Civil War (1918–1922). However, Bolshevik control of Ukraine and Transcaucasia was at the time fragile or non-existent.[43] Many Russian nationalists and some revolutionaries were furious at the Bolsheviks' acceptance of the treaty and joined forces to fight them. Non-Russians who inhabited the lands lost by Bolshevik Russia in the treaty saw the changes as an opportunity to set up independent states.

  10228.  @drumpdump1995  >NATO is equally responsible for provoking the situation That's BS. Before Euromaidan, Russia has successfully used political and economic leverage to dissuade Ukraine from signing the E.U. deal. In the months prior to the Vilnius summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin engaged in a trade war with Kyiv, blocking nearly all imports from Ukraine and cutting energy supplies to the country. In turn, this reduced Ukrainian exports by 25 percent and shrank the economy by 1.5 percent. Ukraine Constitution 1991, Article 17, disallows foreign military bases after 2017. According to former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, Ukraine's constitution forbids the country from hosting foreign military bases after 2017. Yanukovych breached the Ukraine Constitution 1991, Article 17. After 2017, Ukraine's constitution is incompatible with foreign military bases hosting either NATO or CSTO. In 2018, President Petro Poroshenko's constitution amendment allowed temporary foreign military bases. If Yanukovych didn't sign the military base rental extension, Russia would be kicked out of Crimea.

  10229.  @KP-if5kc  >NATO also said they would not expand toward Russia's borders False. Myth 1: NATO promised Russia it would not expand after the Cold War Fact: Such an agreement was never made. NATO’s door has been open to new members since it was founded in 1949 – and that has never changed. This “Open Door Policy” is enshrined in Article 10 of NATO’s founding treaty, which says “any other European State in a position to further the principles of this Treaty and to contribute to the security of the North Atlantic” can apply for membership. Decisions on membership are taken by consensus among all Allies. No treaty signed by the United States, Europe and Russia included provisions on NATO membership. The idea of NATO expansion beyond a united Germany was not on the agenda in 1989, particularly as the Warsaw Pact still existed. This was confirmed by Mikhail Gorbachev in an interview in 2014: "The topic of 'NATO expansion' was not discussed at all, and it wasn't brought up in those years. I say this with full responsibility. Not a single Eastern European country raised the issue, not even after the Warsaw Pact ceased to exist in 1991. Western leaders didn't bring it up, either." Declassified White House transcripts also reveal that, in 1997, Bill Clinton consistently refused Boris Yeltsin's offer of a 'gentlemen's agreement' that no former Soviet Republics would enter NATO: "I can't make commitments on behalf of NATO, and I'm not going to be in the position myself of vetoing NATO expansion with respect to any country, much less letting you or anyone else do so…NATO operates by consensus."

  10265.  @torrokasparov2210  1. Ex-Colonel Macgregor (who left US Army in June 2004) did not consider ramifications in relation to Budapest Memorandum. 2. Ex-Colonel Macgregor's argument runs contrary to the Trump administration's withdrawal from Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces. 3. EUCOM has 75,000 personnel already in Europe, British has 153,290 active personnel (1_January_2021_SPS PDF) and Poland has 160,000 active personnel (2022). Poland has 1,700,000 reserve personnel (2022). Using the UK as a large unsinkable aircraft carrier, USAF F-35A's 1407 km combat radius (internal tanks) can reach into Ukraine. From Norway, F-35A's has a striking range into Moscow. From Italy, F-35A's has a striking range near Moscow. Finland is buying F-35A with a 1407 km combat radius which has a longer range when compared to Finland's existing F/A-18C's 740 km combat radius (can reach just outside of Moscow). Poland is buying F-35A with a 1407 km. F-35A has a longer range with an engine upgrade road map and external fuel tanks. F-35A was purpose-designed to invade a certain hostile country from the pre-1997 position, unlike a short-leg defensive fighter F-16. F-35A has reduced the need for air tankers and USN's aircraft carriers. F-35A's digital FCS and powerful onboard computers can be modified as an unmanned supersonic stealth cruise missile platform for two B61 Mod 12 nuclear bombs. Every European country with F-35A has gained long-range strike capability and turned short-range defensive B61 nuclear bombs into deep strike B61 Mod 12 nuclear bombs. Germany's interest has returned to F-35A for its NATO shared B61 Mod 12 nuclear bomb strike platform. Putin's complaining about Ageis AShore MK41 VLS in Poland and Romania are distractions. Ex-Colonel Macgregor has a US Army mindset, not from the US Strategic Command mindset. US Strategic Command has USN Admiral Charles A. Richard, USAF Lt General Thomas A.

  10276.  @selfmademan3201  Date: Jan. 7, 2010 Yanukovych: Ukraine will remain a neutral state. "It’s certain that Ukraine was and will be non-aligned state… We strive neither to join NATO nor the [CIS]CSTO [Collective Security Treaty Organization]. We’ll maintain a neutral status," Yanukovych said in an interview with the Komsomolskaya Pravda in Ukraine newspaper. -------- The trigger for Euromaidan was Yanukovych initiated non-neutrality policies such as joining a trade block instead of executing Switzerland-style neutrality. UK leaving the EU and joining CPTPP proves freedom of association. Before Euromaidan, Russia, however, has successfully used political and economic leverage to dissuade Ukraine from signing the E.U. deal. In the months prior to the Vilnius summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin engaged in a trade war with Kiev, blocking nearly all imports from Ukraine and cutting energy supplies to the country. In turn, this reduced Ukrainian exports by 25 percent and shrank the economy by 1.5 percent. Fukoff

Yanukovych breached the Ukraine Constitution 1991, Article 17. In 2018, President Petro Poroshenko's constitution amendment allowed temporary foreign military bases. After 2017, Ukraine's constitution is incompatible with foreign military bases hosting for either NATO or CSTO.

The Saudis want the United States to give arms and intelligence to Kurdish rebels in north Iraq, Shiite Muslim fighters in the south and Sunni Muslim opposition forces in central Iraq, the Times said, quoting U.S. and allied officials it didn’t name. ------- Saud's foreign policy resulted in the Caliphate monster a.k.a. ISIS (mostly Sunni Muslim opposition forces). Macgregor's support for the war against Iraq follows Saudi Arabia's foreign policy to remove Saddam. Macgregor is an idiot who doesn't understand soft power (e.g. religion). Bush Sr's decision to leave Saddam in place was the correct judgment and has resisted Saudi pressure. Bush Jr's decision to remove Saddam was wrong and has followed Saudi's foreign policy. Macgregor is an idiot.

Respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders. 2. Refrain from the threat or the use of force against Ukraine. 3. Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine to influence their politics. 4. Seek immediate Security Council action to provide assistance to Ukraine if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used". 5. Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against Ukraine. 6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments. China and France gave somewhat weaker individual assurances in separate documents. Russia has exited Budapest Memorandum. The US and UK are fulfilling points 4 and 6 in accordance with Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum. Budapest Memorandum's security assurances are weaker than NATO's Article V and EU's Article 42.7.

  10282. Australia does not have NATO Article V. Macgregor's mindset leads to independent nuclear weapons being puchased by US allies. France and UK have their own nuclear weapons mostly due to the 1956 Suez Canal crisis when USSR have threaten to nuke both UK and France while the US withdrew its nuclear weapons coverage for UK and France. Colonel Douglas Macgregor's pro-Russian appeasement has shown the need for French, British, and Israeli nuclear weapon capability independent from the US.

The Ten Great Campaigns (Chinese: 十全武功; pinyin: Shíquán Wǔgōng) were a series of military campaigns launched by the Qing dynasty of China in the mid–late 18th century during the reign of the Qianlong Emperor (r. 1735–1796). They included three to enlarge the area of Qing control in Inner Asia: two against the Dzungars (1755–1757) and the "pacification" of Xinjiang (1758–1759). The other seven campaigns were more in the nature of police actions on frontiers already established: two wars to suppress the Gyalrong of Jinchuan, Sichuan, another to suppress the Taiwanese Aboriginals (1787–88), and four expeditions abroad against the Burmese (1765–1769), the Vietnamese (1788–1789), and the Gurkhas on the border between Tibet and Nepal (1790–1792), with the last counting as two. ----- "There's nothing new under the sun."

  10299.  @zharkoo  Before Euromaidan, Russia started a trade war against Ukraine, forcing Yanukovych to sign a base rental extension agreement that breached Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17 disallows foreign military bases after 2017. You missed the small detail in Ukraine's Constitution 1996, Article 17 which disallows foreign military bases after 2017. Read the Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17 which disallows foreign military bases after 2017. CONSTITUTION OF UKRAINE Adopted at the Fifth Session of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on 28 June 1996 Article 17 The location of foreign military bases shall not be permitted on the territory of Ukraine. Yanukovych breached the Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17. After 2017, Ukraine's constitution is incompatible with foreign military bases hosting either NATO or CSTO. If Yanukovych didn't sign the military base rental extension, Russia would be kicked out of Crimea. Putin's narrative is FALSE. 1. 1863–1864 January uprising, Russian Empire crushed Polish, Lithuanian, and Ukrainian insurgents uprising. 2. Soviet–Ukrainian War occurred between 1917 to 1921, a war between the Ukrainian People's Republic vs the Bolsheviks i.e. Ukrainian Soviet Republic and Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (modern-day Russian Federation). 3. 2014, Russo-Ukrainian War. March 1, 2014, the Federation Council of the Russian Federation unanimously adopted a resolution to petition Russian President Vladimir Putin to use military force in Ukraine. These "old world" issues existed before the US being a superpower. Both China and Russia are the two surviving "old world" imperial empires that largely preserved their imperial land territories. China and Russia think that communism clean slate of their imperialist colonial past. You can't handle the truth.

  10300.  @zharkoo  CPC's land reform is fake since it did NOT transfer land titles to families. Land Reform in Postwar Japan As part of the democratization of Japan after World War II, Japanese leaders and Occupation authorities worked together to carry out land reform. It is regarded as one of the most successful of the Occupation-era reforms, and has become the model for land reform in other countries. The purpose of land reform was to reduce the wide gap between absentee landlords who owned agricultural land but did not farm it themselves, and tenant farmers who rented the land in exchange for giving the landlord a high proportion of the crop. The land reform laws were intended to limit the amount of farm land one household could own to about the amount of land that one family could farm themselves, without outside labor. The government forced absentee landlords to sell all their land to the government. Farmers were allowed to own a small amount of farm land that they could rent out to others ( 2.5 acres or one hectare in most parts of Japan, and 10 acres or 4 hectares in Hokkaido), and had to sell any excess to the government. The government then sold this land, usually to the tenant who had been farming it. The result greatly improved the living conditions of farmers. Idealogical basis: The West has its own idealogy on land reform based on the family unit and private ownership as its core idealogy. This is Douglas Macarthur's land reform with private land title transfers. VS Marxist = land reform transfer to the state, no private land title transfer to the workers. Marxist socialism is fake since it doesn't transfer ownership to families.

  10301.  @anuvisraa5786  FALSE. The Chile example, USSR has supported its Cuban proxy that in turn supported Marxist Salvador Allende. You're a hypocrite. Marxist Salvador Allende clashed with the right-wing parties that controlled Congress and with the judiciary. On 11 September 1973, the military moved to oust Allende in a coup d'état. Marxist Salvador Allende's presidential branch effectively declared war on the judiciary and right-wing majority-governed Congress branches. During the 1970 Chilean presidential election, both the United States and the Soviet Union poured money into this election through their intelligence agencies and other sources. 💰KGB money was more precisely targeted. Allende made a personal request for Soviet money through his personal contact, KGB officer Svyatoslav Kuznetsov, who urgently came to Chile from Mexico City to help Allende. The original allocation of money for these elections through the KGB was $400,000, and an additional personal subsidy of $50,000 directly to Allende.[8] It is believed that help from KGB was a decisive factor, because Allende won by a narrow margin of 39,000 votes of a total of the 3 million cast. After the elections, the KGB director Yuri Andropov obtained permission for additional money and other resources from the Central Committee of the CPSU to ensure Allende victory in Congress. In his request on 24 October, he stated that KGB "will carry out measures designed to promote the consolidation of Allende's victory and his election to the post of President of the country". --------------- In your argument's summary, the USSR-supported regime change intervention is okay while the US intervention is bad. Your argument is hypocritical. USSR's proxy attempted to remove Chile's check-and-balance Congress system. USSR's proxy attempted to concentrate political power into a single entity (individual and political party). The US has no problems with the Swedish-style nanny market led-socialism that is practiced in the CANZUK and Nordic countries.

Northern Ireland's non-secularist political system is unconstitutional in the United States, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand. United Kingdom's state church (Church of English) is unconstitutional in the United States, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand.

Yanukovych breached the Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17. After 2017, Ukraine's constitution is incompatible with foreign military bases hosting either NATO or CSTO. If Yanukovych didn't sign the military base rental extension, Russia would be kicked out of Crimea. Putin's narrative is FALSE. Putin's pressure caused Yanukovych to make a mistake.

  10457.  @kevinrich5222  Chiang Kai-shek's KMT (Chinese nationalist) party later lost political power to the Tawainese nationalist. This is an echo from Imperialist Manchus Qing's Imperial China didn't fully control Taiwan. On the eve of the 1894 Sino-Japanese War, about 45 percent of the island was administered under the Manchus Qing administration (Imperial China) while the remaining was populated by Taiwanese aborigines. The Treaty of Shimonoseki is meaningless for the independent Republic of Formosa, hence the reason for Imperial Japan's kinetic war against the independent Republic of Formosa and the native Taiwanese tribal authorities. Qing's Imperial China couldn't enforce the Treaty of Shimonosek on the independent Republic of Formosa and the native Taiwanese tribal authorities. Qing's Imperial China did NOT have control over the independent Republic of Formosa and the native Taiwanese population. On the Island of Taiwan, Imperial Japan defeated both Han Chinese colonizers and native Taiwanese (Austronesian). KMT used Imperial Japan's efforts to subdue both Han Chinese colonizers and native Taiwanese (Austronesian).

The true narrative: There's a minor change with TPP winning a seat. 2022 Taiwanese local elections for Councilors seats KMT: lost 27 seats, 367 seats. DPP: gains 39 seats, 277 seats TPP: gains 14 seats.

  10461.  @JC-hl9nu  The difference is the US government fully controls the area that contains the Republic of Lakota. The Treaty of Shimonoseki is meaningless for the independent Republic of Formosa, hence the reason for Imperial Japan's executing a kinetic war against the independent Republic of Formosa and the native Taiwanese tribal authorities. Qing's Imperial China could NOT enforce the Treaty of Shimonosek on the independent Republic of Formosa and the native Taiwanese tribal authorities, hence Qing's Imperial China did NOT have control over the independent Republic of Formosa and the native Taiwanese population. On the Island of Taiwan, Imperial Japan defeated both Han Chinese colonizers and native Taiwanese (Austronesian). The freeloader KMT used Imperial Japan's efforts to subdue the existing Han Chinese colonizers and native Taiwanese (Austronesian). If the West restores Taiwan to its pre-1894 Sino-Japanese War status with modern weapons, then the Republic of Formosa will be nuclear-armed, and then it's up CPC to deal with it. KMT freeloads control over the native Taiwanese (Austronesian) and the Republic of Formosa on the backs of Imperial Japan's efforts.

For Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum context, Russia, the US, and the UK confirmed their Ukraine becoming parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and effectively abandoning their nuclear arsenal to Russia and that they would: 1. Respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders. 2. Refrain from the threat or the use of force against Ukraine. 3. Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine to influence their politics. 4. Seek immediate Security Council action to provide assistance to Ukraine if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used". 5. Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against Ukraine. 6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments. China and France gave somewhat weaker individual assurances in separate documents. Russia has exited Budapest Memorandum. The US and UK are fulfilling points 4 and 6 in accordance with Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum. Budapest Memorandum's security assurances are weaker than NATO's Article V and EU's Article 42.7.

The woke left didn't learn from the Iranian revolution when communists and Shia extremists deposed the Shah and then Shia extremists deleted their communist allies. A scorpion wants to cross a river but cannot swim, so it asks a frog to carry it across. The frog hesitates, afraid that the scorpion might sting it, but the scorpion promises not to, pointing out that it would drown if it killed the frog in the middle of the river. The frog considers this argument sensible and agrees to transport the scorpion. Midway across the river, the scorpion stings the frog anyway, dooming them both. The dying frog asks the scorpion why it stung despite knowing the consequence, to which the scorpion replies: "I am sorry, but I couldn't resist the urge. It's in my nature." The woke left is a bigot when it comes to "old world" issues.

The Japanese military then swept through southeast Asia and was preparing to invade the territories of Papua and New Guinea. This led to an argument between British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Australian Prime Minister John Curtin. Curtin believed some troops should be sent home to help defend Australia, while Churchill wanted the Australian troops to continue to fight in other parts of the world. In the end, Curtin brought the troops home. Shortly after these troops helped to stop the Japanese advance in the Territory of Papua.

  10566.  @johnrittel6129  But in the early 19th century, Lidia Thorpe's tribe, the Gurnai, made a concerted effort to completely wipe out the Bunurong. This peaked with three great dawn massacres. At Brighton. At Dromana. At Koo Wee Rup. These were all major campsites for the Bunurong. It is estimated that more than half of the Bunurong population was wiped out in this genocide. A few decades later, mostly Bunurong men were recruited for the colonial native police. When deployed to Gippsland, this Bunurong force took revenge on the Gurnai on several occasions, thus prosecuting the last actions in the war - a war of massacres and genocide with the Gurnai having the upper hand, by strength of numbers. This is why the Bunurong people and Gurnai people still argue today about who has the rights over Wilsons Promontory.

  10567.  @johnrittel6129  Another problem. News(from ABC NET AU) : Ancient virus lurking in remote Australia, affecting thousands of Aboriginal adults In a brightly lit lab in the outback town of Alice Springs, researchers have been inspecting vials of blood infected with an ancient virus that has lurked in Australia for thousands of years. It is called T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1— or HTLV-1 — and Australia has the highest levels in the world. A distant relative of HIV, it is a blood-borne virus that can be sexually transmitted or passed from mother to child. The virus can lead to inflammation of the skin, eyes and lungs. "You're also at risk of developing things like leukemia, so blood cancer, and becoming disabled through spinal cord injuries," researcher Joel Liddle said. "Once your pro-viral load is high, you're at a high risk of poor health." Researchers said, in most cases, leukaemia caused by the virus could be "rapidly fatal". Researchers from the Baker Institute for Heart and Diabetes in Alice Springs estimated 45 percent of Indigenous adults in central Australia had HTLV-1 . "In remote Australia, it's so out of sight, out of mind with a lot of things, health is just one of those things," Mr Liddle said. One of the difficulties with this virus is that most of those who have HTLV-1, don't know they have it, and a vast number of Aboriginal communities have never been tested. "I think there's probably confusion and a little bit of anger, too. People [question] why haven't they been told about this," Mr Liddle said. "There's a lot of reasons to breastfeed. Prolonged breastfeeding may be something that could be addressed but that's up to Aboriginal people to decide." For Mr Liddle, an Arrernte man, a response to high rates of HTLV-1 demands a delicate approach, with intensive education work delivered in Aboriginal languages. "I think there's a lot of work to do, certainly I think at the moment, what I see as our main thing is to engage sensitively around the issues because we're dealing with people's health, and all the things and complexities that are going on in remote communities, so we have to be really mindful of that." ------ This ancient virus is related to HIV( i.e. HTLV-1) and reduces an adult's life span. To fix this issue, non-Aboriginal R&D will be needed to cure this ancient issue, promote safe sex culture (i.e. change culture), and practise monogamy (i.e. change culture).

In 1752, Kuwait became independent after an agreement between the Sheikh of Kuwait and the Emir of Bani Khalid in which Bani Khalid recognised Sabah I bin Jaber's independent rule over Kuwait and in exchange Kuwait would not ally itself or support the enemies of Bani Khalid or interfere in the internal affairs of Bani Khalid in any way.

President XI's historical arguments effectively are a continuation of Imperial China's Silk Road (known Belt-n-Road) and The Ten Great Campaigns. The Ten Great Campaigns (Chinese: 十全武功; pinyin: Shíquán Wǔgōng) were a series of military campaigns launched by the Qing dynasty of China in the mid–late 18th century during the reign of the Qianlong Emperor (r. 1735–1796). They included three to enlarge the area of Qing control in Inner Asia: two against the Dzungars (1755–1757) and the "pacification" of Xinjiang (1758–1759). The other seven campaigns were more in the nature of police actions on frontiers already established: two wars to suppress the Gyalrong of Jinchuan, Sichuan, another to suppress the Taiwanese Aboriginals (1787–88), and four expeditions abroad against the Burmese (1765–1769), the Vietnamese (1788–1789), and the Gurkhas on the border between Tibet and Nepal (1790–1792), with the last counting as two. ----- "There's nothing new under the sun."

Following an unsuccessful campaign into Tibet, Gulab Singh and the Tibetans signed a treaty in 1842 agreeing to stick to the "old, established frontiers", which were left unspecified. British East India Company (with Patiala State) defeated Sikh Empire in 1843. The British East India Company forces consisted of formations of the Bengal Army, with usually one British unit to every three or four Bengal infantry or cavalry units. Patiala State later acceded to the Union of India upon Indian independence. With the defeat of the Sikh Empire, the British East India Company inherited the existing border mess between Sikh Empire and Tibet.

This decision resulted in Turkey’s removal from the global F-35 Joint Strike Fighter partnership. India doesn't participate in the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program. The Biden administration has asked Congress to approve the sale of weapons and equipment upgrades to Turkey’s fleet of F-16 fighter jets. Turkey sent a formal request to the US to buy 40 new F-16V Block 70 aircraft and nearly 80 kits from Lockheed Martin to modernize its existing fighters. After Turkey is booted out of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program, Turkey's US military tech access is similar to India's.

Qatar is also part of the energy supply talks. The official said Russia had already restricted the flow of gas through the pipeline running through Ukraine from about 100m cubic metres a day to 50m. The Australian resources minister, Keith Pitt, said Australia was “a leading and reliable global exporter of LNG” and “stands ready to assist with any request for further supplies”. “This shows how important Australian resources are to energy supplies around the world,” Pitt said in a statement. From The World Factbook Top natural gas exporters in m3/year (estimates) in 2020 1. Russia = 199,928,345,000 2. United States = 149,538,000,000 3. Qatar = 143,700,000,000 4. Norway = 112,951,000,000 5. Australia = 102,262,000,000

  10756. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/a-guide-to-understanding-the-dairy-dispute-between-the-us-andcanada/article34802291/ Canada has long maintained a high tariff wall on most dairy products. The duty on milk is 270 per cent. That keeps most imports from the United States and elsewhere out of Canada, while helping to prop up higher domestic prices. One notable exception is ultrafiltered milk and other protein-rich dairy ingredients used to make dairy products such as cheese and yogurt. North American free-trade rules do not cover these ingredients, so they enter Canada duty-free. And in recent years, U.S. dairies have developed a booming business selling these low-cost products to dairies in Canada ($133-million last year). That all changed about a year ago, when Canadian dairy farmers and producers moved to close the breach in the tariff wall with a new "ingredients strategy." They persuaded regulators to create a new lower-priced class of industrial milk as an incentive to get dairies to produce protein substances in Canada, using Canadian milk. The result was predictable: U.S. imports fell in 2016, and are declining sharply so far this year. In 2016, Canada started a trade war against US. Hypocrites from Canada. Canada talks about "Free Trade" while installed a trade protection for it's dairy industry.

  10771. https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn18949-the-history-of-ice-on-earth/ Antarctica wasn’t always a frozen wasteland. It wasn’t until around 34 million years ago that the first small glaciers formed on the tops of Antarctica’s mountains. And it was 20 million years later, when world-wide temperatures dropped by 8 °C, that the glaciers’ ice froze onto the rock, and the southern ice sheet was born. This temperature drop was triggered by the rise of the Himalayas. As they grew higher they were exposed to increased weathering, which sucked CO2 out of the atmosphere and reduced the greenhouse effect. https://www.britannica.com/science/Eocene-Epoch Later Eocene vertebrate faunas are somewhat better developed in areas outside of North America; however, it is in North America, especially the western United States, that the most abundant and extensive Eocene terrestrial vertebrate record exists. Eocene rocks were deposited in much the same regions as those of the preceding Paleocene Epoch. During the Eocene, climates were warm and humid—temperate and subtropical forests were widespread, whereas grasslands were of limited extent. For example, the Eocene forests of Oregon were made up of trees and plants similar or identical to those now found in Central and South America.

In the months prior to the Vilnius summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin engaged in a trade war with Kyiv, blocking nearly all imports from Ukraine and cutting energy supplies to the country. In turn, this reduced Ukrainian exports by 25 percent and shrank the economy by 1.5 percent. Ukraine Constitution 1991, Article 17, disallows foreign military bases after 2017. According to former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, Ukraine's constitution forbids the country from hosting foreign military bases after 2017. Yanukovych breached the Ukraine Constitution 1991, Article 17. After 2017, Ukraine's constitution is incompatible with foreign military bases hosting either NATO or CSTO. In 2018, President Petro Poroshenko's constitution amendment allowed temporary foreign military bases. If Yanukovych didn't sign the military base rental extension, Russia would be kicked out of Crimea. You didn't read Ukraine's Constitution 1991.

  10805.  @matthewgibbs6886  do you have a short memory Your memory is even shorter. ----------- Twenty Iraqi Kurds have taken legal action to expose French firms who supplied poison gas to Saddam Hussein in 1988. The plaintiffs were among the victims of a chemical weapon attack that killed 5,000 in the town of Halabja during the Iran-Iraq war. A Dutch businessman who sold Iraq chemicals used in the attack was ordered to pay 400,000 euros to some of the victims in April 2013. ----------- Date: March 2017 Kurdistan’s Interior Minister said on Tuesday the Regional Government since its formation had demanded from the federal government to pay compensation to the families of Kurdish victims who suffered genocide, killing, and displacement from the former Iraqi regime. Rebar Ahmed stressed during the Parliament session that in 2014 “we decided to announce Halabja as a governorate,… but perhaps the big problem facing Halabja is that Iraq is not yet ready to recognize it as a governorate. Therefore, the federal government did not allocate a financial budget for it.” Ahmed continued that when the first Kurdish delegation went to Baghdad, it delivered the Prime Minister a request to compensate the victims of the people of Kurdistan with 380 billion dollars for the crimes committed by Saddam Hussein's regime in Halabja, Anfal and to Barzanis, Faili Kurds, and all victims of Baath crimes. The Halabja chemical attack, also known as the Halabja Massacre or Bloody Friday was a massacre of Kurdish people that took place on 16 March 1988, during the closing days of the Iran–Iraq War in the Kurdish city of Halabja in Iraqi Kurdistan. The attack was part of the Al-Anfal Campaign in Kurdistan, as well as part of the Iraqi Army's attempt to repel the Iranian Operation Zafar 7. It took place 48 hours after the capture of the town by the Iranian Army. A United Nations (UN) medical investigation concluded that mustard gas was used in the attack, along with unidentified nerve agents. The incident was the largest chemical weapons attack directed against a civilian-populated area in history, killing between 3,200 and 5,000 people and injuring 7,000 to 10,000 more, most of them civilians. Preliminary results from surveys of the affected region showed an increased rate of cancer and birth defects in the years afterward. The Halabja attack has been officially defined by the Supreme Iraqi Criminal Tribunal as a genocidal massacre against the Kurdish people in Iraq

  10811.  @bodryy_vecher  From Britannica about Imperialism imperialism, state policy, practice, or advocacy of extending power and dominion, especially by direct territorial acquisition or by gaining political and economic control of other areas. Because it always involves the use of power, whether military or economic or some subtler form, imperialism has often been considered morally reprehensible, and the term is frequently employed in international propaganda to denounce and discredit an opponent’s foreign policy. Imperialism in ancient times is clear in the history of China and in the history of western Asia and the Mediterranean—an unending succession of empires. The tyrannical empire of the Assyrians was replaced (6th–4th century BCE) by that of the Persians, in strong contrast to the Assyrian in its liberal treatment of subjected peoples, assuring it long duration. It eventually gave way to the imperialism of Greece. When Greek imperialism reached an apex under Alexander the Great (356–323 BCE), a union of the eastern Mediterranean with western Asia was achieved. But the cosmopolis, in which all citizens of the world would live harmoniously together in equality, remained a dream of Alexander. It was partially realized when the Romans built their empire from Britain to Egypt. This idea of empire as a unifying force was never again realized after the fall of Rome. The nations arising from the ashes of the Roman Empire in Europe, and in Asia on the common basis of Islamic civilization (see Islamic world), pursued their individual imperialist policies. Imperialism became a divisive force among the peoples of the world.

Slave labour wasn't limited to just blacks. You're a racist hypocrite. Australia was held to the Slave Trade Act 1807 as well as the Slavery Abolition Act 1833, which abolished slavery in the British Empire. Some 55,000 to 62,500 South Sea Islanders were taken to Australia. The majority of the 10,000 Pacific Islanders remaining in Australia in 1901 were repatriated from 1906–08 under the provisions of the Pacific Island Labourers Act 1901. A 1992 census of South Sea Islanders reported around 10,000 descendants of the blackbirded labourers living in Queensland. Fewer than 3,500 were reported in the 2001 Australian census.

Metallurgical coal or coking coal is a vital ingredient in the steel making process. Firstly coal is converted to lump coke in a coking oven. A particular rank of coal, known as “coking coal”, is required to make the preferred quality of coke. Then raw iron is made by reducing (removing the oxygen from) iron ore (iron oxide) by reacting it at high temperature with coke in a blast furnace. About half of the carbon in the coke combines with the oxygen from the iron ore to make CO2. The rest of the coke is burned in a blast of air in the blast furnace to provide the required high temperature; making more CO2. The resulting pig iron typically contains 2.5-4.5% carbon, making it relatively brittle and unsuitable for most uses. Steel is made in a subsequent process as an alloy of iron and carbon along with some other elements. Around 1% of the carbon from the coke remains in the raw iron to provide the source of that carbon. So coal (as coke) is a reducing agent, a source of energy to drive the process and a source of carbon to incorporate in the steel.

  10871. That's a FALSE narrative. Read the Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17 that disallows foreign military bases after 2017. CONSTITUTION OF UKRAINE Adopted at the Fifth Session of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on 28 June 1996 Article 17 The location of foreign military bases shall not be permitted on the territory of Ukraine. Yanukovych breached the Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17. After 2017, Ukraine's constitution is incompatible with foreign military bases hosting either NATO or CSTO. If Yanukovych didn't sign the military base rental extension, Russia would be kicked out of Crimea. Putin's narrative is FALSE.

  10876. Every country has the right to operate a biolab and Ukraine did NOT invade another country. Basic pathology blood test requires a bio lab. Saddam's Iraq invaded two other countries i.e. Kuwait and Iran. Remember, Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum exchanged Ukraine's nuclear WMD for security assurances from US, UK, and Russia. France and China signed a watered-down Budapest Memorandum. Budapest Memorandum requires Ukraine to join Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty as part of Ukraine's nuclear WMD disarmament. Tucker is ignorant of Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum. Did you know Australia has similar security assurances like Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum and Australia does NOT have a NATO Article V level guarantee with the US? From 1950 to the 1960s, Australia detonated nuclear bombs as a joint partner with the UK. Five Power Defence Arrangements (FPDA) with Australia, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, and the United Kingdom (nuclear-armed state) have no specific commitment to intervene militarily, and the agreement is merely consultative. Australia has many Biolabs for agriculture, animal health, human health and 'etc'.

Pressured Yanukovych to sign a base rental extension agreement that breached Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17 disallows foreign military bases after 2017. On 21 April 2010, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych signed an agreement[16] in which Russia agreed to a 30% drop in the price of natural gas sold to Ukraine. Russia agreed to this in exchange for permission to extend Russia's lease of a major naval base in the Ukrainian Black Sea port of Sevastopol for an additional 25 years (to 2042) with an option for a further 5-year renewal (to 2047).[17] The agreement put a cap on the scale of price hikes; but the main unfavourable terms for Ukraine of the 2009 gas contract remained in place.[18] This pressure caused Yanukovych to make a mistake that breached Ukraine's Constitution 1996, Article 17. You missed the small detail in Ukraine's Constitution 1996, Article 17 which disallows foreign military bases after 2017. 2. Russia started a trade war against Ukraine, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_embargo_of_Ukrainian_goods Russian embargo of Ukrainian goods BEFORE Euromaidan.

  10909. For Transnistria, the region's origins can be traced to the Moldavian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, which was formed in 1924 within the Ukrainian SSR. During World War II, the Soviet Union took parts of the Moldavian ASSR, which was dissolved, and of the Kingdom of Romania's Bessarabia to form the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic in 1940. The Moldavian SSR, organised by a decision of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR on 2 August 1940, was formed out of a part of Bessarabia (taken from Romania on 28 June, after the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact) and out of a part of the Moldavian ASSR roughly equivalent to present-day Transnistria. Transnistria was a product of NAZI-Germany's and USSR's Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact. Russia is actually supporting the NAZI-era Molotov–Ribbentrop pact Just on a sidenote: Europeans including Russians do have a common fate: two World Wars.

  10918.  @faisalkhan786fk  Your arguments are hypocritical. Your "Europeans outdid everyone else and took it way further" is FALSE. FACTS, Ottoman Empire's hold on North Africa was further weakened with the conflict between the rising maritime power USA vs Ottoman Empire in the 1801 First Barbary War. Unlike the Europeans, the USA is self-sufficient in raw materials for technologically driven warfare. After the 1815 Second Barbary War between the US and the Ottoman Empire, the colonial power European Empires (e.g. French Empire) counter invaded North Africa. The Spanish Empire wasn't interested in Islamic colonial land areas such as North Africa, the Middle East, Eastern Roman Empire (e.g. Greece, the Bulkans, and Turkey/Byzantine and 'etc'). The Ottoman Empire's joining the Austria-Hungarian Empire and Germany in WW1 has doomed the Ottoman Empire when it was defeated by the French and British Empires (with Australia, Canada, and India supplying raw materials for UK's war machine). Both Australia and Canada have a USA size land area that supplied the UK's raw materials. USA's maritime power is built-on British Empire's maritime power since it signed multiple island territory lease arguments with the UK as part of the US's support for the UK's WW2 effort.

  10919.  Hello There  Indonesia is partly an Islamic state e.g. Aceh area. Suharto's New Order expanded the reach of Sharia, first with the 1974 Marriage Act, which assigned jurisdiction over the marriage and divorce of Muslims to the Islamic courts (Indonesian: peradilan agama), and with the 1989 Religious Judicature Act, which elevated Islamic courts by making them a parallel legal system, equal to state courts and gave them jurisdiction over inheritance (wasiyyah), gifts (hibah) and religious endowments.[112] Muslim litigants could originally choose whether to have inheritance questions decided by the Islamic courts or by the civil courts, but a 2006 amendment eliminated this possibility; the same amendment gave Islamic courts new jurisdiction over property disputes, including financial and economic matters.[112] Muslims seeking a divorce must also file their claim in Islamic courts.[112] The Compilation of Islamic Law 1991 (Indonesian: Kompilasi Hukum Islam) regulates marriage, inheritance, and charitable trusts (wakaf).[112]

Marxist Salvador Allende clashed with the right-wing parties that controlled Congress and with the judiciary. On 11 September 1973, the military moved to oust Allende in a coup d'état. Marxist Salvador Allende's presidential branch effectively declared war on the judiciary and right-wing majority-governed Congress branches. During the 1970 Chilean presidential election, both the United States and the Soviet Union poured money into this election through their intelligence agencies and other sources. 💰KGB money was more precisely targeted. Allende made a personal request for Soviet money through his personal contact, KGB officer Svyatoslav Kuznetsov, who urgently came to Chile from Mexico City to help Allende. The original allocation of money for these elections through the KGB was $400,000, and an additional personal subsidy of $50,000 directly to Allende.[8] It is believed that help from KGB was a decisive factor, because Allende won by a narrow margin of 39,000 votes of a total of the 3 million cast. After the elections, the KGB director Yuri Andropov obtained permission for additional money and other resources from the Central Committee of the CPSU to ensure Allende victory in Congress. In his request on 24 October, he stated that KGB "will carry out measures designed to promote the consolidation of Allende's victory and his election to the post of President of the country".[8] In your argument's summary, the USSR-supported regime change intervention is okay while the US intervention is bad.

Section 116 also provides that no religious test shall be required as a qualification for any office or public trust under the Commonwealth.

We’re within three per cent of the testing to complete the development program and we’re in the final stages of tweaking the Block 3F software that will be pushed to the field later this year,” Over said “The full functional capability that we’ve promised with Block 3F is actually flying in [flight test] jets right now and so it’s identifying the things that don’t work quite as the pilots would like for them to work and we’re tweaking through those last little details now” ---------- Keeping the F-35 Ahead of the Bad Guys by John A. Tirpak March 2019 <snip...> Although the F-35 can carry the new Long-Range Anti-Ship Missile, or LRASM, externally, Winter said the principal new anti-ship missiles coming in Block 4 are the JSOW C1 for the Navy and the Norwegian JSM. The program has “not been asked” about whether the stealthy LRASM can fit inside the F-35’s weapon bays, he said, nor has the Navy asked to integrate the SLAM-ER (Standoff Land Attack Missile-Extended Range) version of the Harpoon anti-ship missile. <...> Last October, then-Defense Secretary Jim Mattis directed the Air Force to increase mission capable rates for the F-22, F-16, and F-35 to at least 80 percent. At the time, the F-35 rate was 54 percent overall, but for 3F aircraft recently off the production line, the rate was better than 80 percent. Winter agreed that spare parts are the “long pole in the tent” for getting the F-35 fleet up to the 80 percent standard. “We have initiatives underway to increase spare parts production,” he said, including accelerating the rate at which parts can be repaired by the F-35 depot at Hill AFB, Utah. This will allow industry to concentrate on making more new parts, rather than fixing older ones, he said. The Air Force has until Sept. 30 to achieve the 80 percent mission capable rate, assuming the order stands under Acting Defense Secretary Patrick M. Shanahan or his successor. <...> -------- "but for 3F aircraft recently off the production line, the rate was better than 80 percent"

Some of Moscow’s most advanced export fighters, the warplanes should have helped New Delhi strengthen its military. But it turns out, the twin-engine jets have failure-prone motors. Their AL-31FP engines break down with alarming frequency. In March, Indian defense minister Manohar Parrikar revealed the propulsion problems.

That means Australia will take part in the regional summit involving South East Asia nations, China, Japan, South Korea and India, which will be held in Vientiane in November. The move ends a Malaysian ban on Australia attending ASEAN summits which dates back to 1995.

Australia's trade diversification from China is with CPTPP members (including Vietnam, an ASEAN member), India, Thailand (ASEAN member), South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan. Australia increased trade with the Philippines, an ASEAN member. China's large-scale dam building has caused drought in Indochina downstream countries and northern India i.e. China indirectly created extra demand for Australia's food exports.

Refer to Australia-Japan "Defence Supplies and Services" agreement. Agreement between the Government of Australia and the Government of Japan concerning Reciprocal Provision of Supplies and Services between the Australian Defence Force and the Self-Defense Forces of Japan - Sydney, 14 January 2017 Obligations 3.14 The provision of any supplies and services under the proposed Agreement must be carried out in accordance with the Parties’ respective national laws and obligations. 3.15 Article I provides that the reciprocal provision of logistic supplies and services under the proposed Agreement will occur for the purposes of: exercises and training with participation by both the ADF and the JSDF; United Nations peacekeeping operations, internationally coordinated peacekeeping and security operations, and humanitarian international relief operations; operations in response to large scale disasters in Australia, Japan or a third country; emergency evacuation of Australian or Japanese nationals, or others from third countries; communication and coordination or other routine activities including visits of ships or aircraft of the ADF or the JSDF;and for other cooperative efforts as mutually determined and permitted under the laws and regulations of the respective Parties (including for unforeseen circumstances or exigencies). 3.16 The inclusion of ‘internationally coordinated peacekeeping and security operations’ as well as enabling the provision of logistic supplies and services for other cooperatively efforts as mutually determined is an expansion of the 2013 Agreement. 3.17 The supplies and services that may be provided under the Agreement are listed in Tabled 3.1 below. 3.18 For the provision of supplies, where possible, the receiving Party must return the supplies in a condition and manner satisfactory to the providing Party. Where supplies cannot be returned in a satisfactory condition or are consumable, the receiving Party must give the providing Party supplies of the same type, quality and quantity. Where neither option is possible, the receiving Party must reimburse the providing Party. 3.19 For the provision of services, the receiving Party may either reimburse the providing Party or provide services of the same type and equivalent value. 3.20 The provision of supplies and services must be carried out in accordance with the Procedural Arrangement as agreed between the Australian Department of Defence and the Japanese Ministry of Defence (Article V). The NIA explains that a new Procedural Arrangement has been concluded however is a less-than-treaty status document. Consequently, the Committee will not have an opportunity to review this supporting document. 3.21 Similarly, disputes between the Australia and Japan must be settled in accordance with the Procedural Arrangement, or otherwise through consultation. Reasons for implementing proposed treaty action 3.22 As noted above, the proposal to replace the 2013 Agreement was initiated by Japan, which sought to broaden that Agreement to achieve congruence with defence reforms passed by the National Diet in September 2015. 3.23 The NIA states that the expanded scope of the proposed Agreement: aligns with Australia’s other military logistic support agreements and arrangements and offers Australia the opportunity to further enhance the quality of, and potential for, defence cooperation with Japan, and to broaden the interoperability between the two forces. 3.24 It further asserts that the proposed Agreement is ‘uncontroversial’ and ‘builds on Australia’s existing relationship with Japan in relation to defence matters, and raises no international defence policy issues’. 3.25 If the proposed Agreement were not ratified, Australia’s military logistic relationship with Japan would be out of step with those that Japan has with the United States and the United Kingdom.

According to former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, Ukraine's constitution forbids the country from hosting foreign military bases after 2017. Yanukovych breached the Ukraine Constitution 1991, Article 17. In 2018, President Petro Poroshenko's constitution amendment allowed temporary foreign military bases. Yanukovych is stupid.

  11028.  @05Rudey  UK delivered Nazi Germany's 1st defeat during the Battle of Britain with the UK achieving local air and maintaining maritime superiority. The main reason for Germany's attack on Russia is Germany's running out of oil issue since the UK's maritime power blockaded trade with Middle East oil countries and the US refusing oil trade with Germany. Continued WW2 conflict will lead to the US dropping the nuclear bomb on Nazi Germany. USA production is more than 4 times since the US was the only nation to mass-produced aircraft carriers. Germany Tiger I tank's 1,347 units x 44 tons = 59,268 tons Tiger II tank has 492 units x 68 tons = 33,456 tons Panther tank has 6000 units x 44 tons = 264,000 tons Panzer IV has 8,553 unit x 25 tons = 213,825 tons Total: 570,549 tons Czech's Panzer 38(t) has 1414 units x 10 tons = 141,40 tons USA M26 tanks has 2,212 units x 44 tons = 97,328 tons M26 has 90 mm gun.

Sub-Total: 2,072,993 tons M4 Sherman Firefly (UK) has 2,200 units x 35 tons = 77,000 tons. Firefly takes on Tiger I and Panther tanks. The US has both quality (M26) and numbers (M4). A significant amount of the US Army's tonnage was against the German army. The US has the following aircraft carrier production 24 Essex-class fleet carriers with 90 to 110 aircraft each. 650,400 tons for Essex-class. 21 Commencement Bay class with 228,900 tons 50 Casablanca-class with 390,000 tons. 45 Bogue-class with 747,900 tons 3 Yorktown-class fleet carriers with 59,400 tons Sub-Total: 3,798,645 tons Modern-day USN aircraft carrier tonnage is just about 1,460,000 tons. A significant amount of USN's tonnage was against the Japanese navy. WW2 UK has similar aircraft carrier builds as Imperial Japan i.e. around 10 to 11 units. Not including UK, US and Canada other surface combat ships e.g. destroyers, heavy cruisers, battleships and 'etc'. Grand Total: 5,871,638 tons For the US, that's already 10.3X times over Germany's iron/steel tonnage extract/production. WW2 Russian navy is small. WW2 German navy is small. Both Canada and the USA has the advantage of the entire North American continent on raw metal and oil resources. European mainland is raw resource-poor, hence the reason for Hitler wanting Russian lands. 1st of the super aircraft carrier USS Midway (CV-41) entered service on 10 September 1945 which is eight days after the Surrender of Japan. The US almost single handily defeats Imperial Japan. In terms of warship numbers, Canada created the second-largest navy in the world after US, while Australia created the 4th largest airforce in the world. Both Canada and Australia have raw material strength from their respective continents.

  11046. The Ten Great Campaigns (Chinese: 十全武功; pinyin: Shíquán Wǔgōng) were a series of military campaigns launched by the Qing dynasty of China in the mid–late 18th century during the reign of the Qianlong Emperor (r. 1735–1796). They included three to enlarge the area of Qing control in Inner Asia: two against the Dzungars (1755–1757) and the "pacification" of Xinjiang (1758–1759). The other seven campaigns were more in the nature of police actions on frontiers already established: two wars to suppress the Gyalrong of Jinchuan, Sichuan, another to suppress the Taiwanese Aboriginals (1787–88), and four expeditions abroad against the Burmese (1765–1769), the Vietnamese (1788–1789), and the Gurkhas on the border between Tibet and Nepal (1790–1792), with the last counting as two. During the 4th Sino-Burmese Wars starting in 1768, Imperial China invaded the Kingdom of Burma. Burma hired European musketeers and gunners, hence Burma allied itself with the rising French Empire against Imperial China's invasion. President Xi's argument is based on historical Imperial China's Ten Great Campaigns. Territorial disputes around Xi's China are based on Imperial China's Ten Great Campaigns. Keating asserted China being new power is FALSE. There's nothing new under the sun.

Respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders. 2. Refrain from the threat or the use of force against Ukraine. 3. Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine to influence their politics. 4. Seek immediate Security Council action to provide assistance to Ukraine if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used". 5. Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against Ukraine. 6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments. China and France gave somewhat weaker individual assurances in separate documents. Russia has exited Budapest Memorandum. The US and UK are fulfilling points 4 and 6 in accordance with Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum. Budapest Memorandum's security assurances are weaker than NATO's Article V and EU's Article 42.7.

Instead, the RAAF plans to upgrade and extend the service life of the Super Hornet squadron before replacing those aircraft in the mid-2030s. The new replacement schedule means the RAAF will have more options than only F-35As, including a new generation of uncrewed collaborative combat aircraft (CCA) and crewed fighters scheduled to be fielded in the mid-2030s by the U.S. and a UK/Italy/Japan consortium. “We will look at the F-35, and we’re very, very comfortable and very happy with the capability of the F-35,” Chipman said. “But it would be remiss of me not to look at what else is available for us to replace our Super Hornets in the future.”

Rebar Ahmed stressed during the Parliament session that in 2014 “we decided to announce Halabja as a governorate,… but perhaps the big problem facing Halabja is that Iraq is not yet ready to recognize it as a governorate. Therefore, the federal government did not allocate a financial budget for it.” Ahmed continued that when the first Kurdish delegation went to Baghdad, it delivered the Prime Minister a request to compensate the victims of the people of Kurdistan with 380 billion dollars for the crimes committed by Saddam Hussein's regime in Halabja, Anfal and to Barzanis, Faili Kurds, and all victims of Baath crimes. The Halabja chemical attack, also known as the Halabja Massacre or Bloody Friday was a massacre of Kurdish people that took place on 16 March 1988, during the closing days of the Iran–Iraq War in the Kurdish city of Halabja in Iraqi Kurdistan. The attack was part of the Al-Anfal Campaign in Kurdistan, as well as part of the Iraqi Army's attempt to repel the Iranian Operation Zafar 7. It took place 48 hours after the capture of the town by the Iranian Army. A United Nations (UN) medical investigation concluded that mustard gas was used in the attack, along with unidentified nerve agents. The incident was the largest chemical weapons attack directed against a civilian-populated area in history, killing between 3,200 and 5,000 people and injuring 7,000 to 10,000 more, most of them civilians. Preliminary results from surveys of the affected region showed an increased rate of cancer and birth defects in the years afterward. The Halabja attack has been officially defined by the Supreme Iraqi Criminal Tribunal as a genocidal massacre against the Kurdish people in Iraq ------ Try again.

This order supplements the acts of surrender to the Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers and his General Order No. 1. ----- There are opposing views on the legality of the KMT takeover of Taiwan. The Chinese Communist government maintains to this day that the Republic of China on Taiwan is a province that must eventually return to rule by the mainland. According to an article published in 1955 on the legal status of Taiwan, "It has been charged that Chiang Kai-shek has no claim to the island because he is 'merely a fugitive quartering his army' there and besides, his is a government in exile." Moreover, the Treaty of San Francisco, which was officially signed by 48 nations on 8 September 1951, did not specify to whom Japan was ceding Taiwan and the Pescadores. Despite this, the ROC was viewed by the vast majority of states at the time as the legitimate representative of China, as it had succeeded the Qing Dynasty, while the PRC was at the time a mostly unrecognized state. Japan was, at the time of the signing of the Treaty of San Francisco, still technically under American occupation. After full independence, Japan established full relations with the ROC and not the PRC. According to Professor Gene Hsiao, "since the San Francisco Peace Treaty and the separate KMT treaty with Japan did not specify to whom Japan was ceding Taiwan and the Pescadores, the implication of the U.S. position was that legally, and insofar as the signatories of those two treaties were concerned, Taiwan became an 'ownerless' island and the KMT, by its own assent to the American policy, a foreign government-in-exile." Technically, KMT is a foreign government in exile under the American occupation of Japanese Taiwan islands.

  11092.  @jij5953  Chiang Kai-shek's KMT (Chinese nationist) party later lost political power to the Tawainese nationalist. This is an echo from Imperialist Manchus Qing's Imperial China didn't fully control Taiwan. On the eve of the 1894 Sino-Japanese War, about 45 percent of the island was administered under the Manchus Qing administration (Imperial China) while the remaining was populated by Taiwanese aborigines. Qing's Imperial China didn't complete The Ten Great Campaigns' conquering Taiwan. The Ten Great Campaigns (Chinese: 十全武功; pinyin: Shíquán Wǔgōng) were a series of military campaigns launched by the Qing dynasty of China in the mid–late 18th century during the reign of the Qianlong Emperor (r. 1735–1796). They included three to enlarge the area of Qing control in Inner Asia: two against the Dzungars (1755–1757) and the "pacification" of Xinjiang (1758–1759). The other seven campaigns were more in the nature of police actions on frontiers already established: two wars to suppress the Gyalrong of Jinchuan, Sichuan, another to suppress the Taiwanese Aboriginals (1787–88), and four expeditions abroad against the Burmese (1765–1769), the Vietnamese (1788–1789), and the Gurkhas on the border between Tibet and Nepal (1790–1792), with the last counting as two. President Xi's argument is based on historical Imperial China's Ten Great Campaigns (Chinese: 十全武功; pinyin: Shíquán Wǔgōng).

The European Union actually comes off as the bigger offender when compared to the US, he added. The unweighted average EU customs duty is 5.2 percent, versus the US rate of 3.5 percent, according to ifo’s database. So when Mr. Trump complains of “massive tariffs” he is not that far off the mark in several cases. And he does complain. “If the EU wants to further increase their already massive tariffs and barriers on US companies doing business there, we will simply apply a tax on their cars, which freely pour into the US,” the president tweeted earlier this month. “They make it impossible for our cars (and more) to sell there. Big trade imbalance!” .... In fact it wasn’t even Mr. Trump who first broke off negotiations over a US-EU free trade deal known as the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), the German economist noted. It was actually the EU that put the unpopular talks “on ice” ahead of elections in France and Germany. ------------ Try again Mr PORK.

Before British colonization, at the beginning of the 19th century, Usman dan Fodio led a successful jihad against the Hausa Kingdoms founding the centralised Sokoto Caliphate. The empire with Arabic as its official language grew rapidly under his rule and that of his descendants, who sent out invading armies in every direction. The vast landlocked empire connected the east with the western Sudan region and made inroads down south conquering parts of the Oyo Empire (modern-day Kwara), and advanced towards the Yoruba heartland of Ibadan, to reach the Atlantic Ocean. The territory controlled by the empire included much of modern-day northern and central Nigeria. The sultan sent out emirs to establish a suzerainty over the conquered territories and promote Islamic civilization, the emirs in turn became increasingly rich and powerful through trade and slavery. By the 1890s, the largest slave population in the world, about two million, was concentrated in the territories of the Sokoto Caliphate.

  11181.  @sullyx4167  That's an obsolete argument when secularism also spreads in modern times. UK's religious sectarian conflict caused the nonconforming population to flee to North America. Christianity had a reformation period to remove "dark age" BS teachings. Examples, 1. the old school Churches with cloth head coverings when Cor 11:15 clearly states long hair as the head covering (let the Bible interpret itself). 1 Cor 11:2-16 interpretation between head covering by cloth vs long hair. 1 Cor 11:15 clearly states long hair is the head covering. 2. Old-school Church ministers teach women should be a homemaker, which is interpreted as women should stay at home, but Proverbs 31 has a businesswoman who makes her home by earning an income. 1 Cor 11:15 clearly states long hair is the head covering (let the Bible interpret itself) despite the Catholic Church's nun cloth head coverings. Islam copied "people of the book"s wrong women's dress code interpretation.

Stage 2, Break payment of 250 million euros (about $404 million) would apply if the French delivered a detailed submarine design and Australia then chose to go no further. Stage 3 In the event Australia accepted its first completed submarine but decided to cancel all future orders, the Commonwealth would have to pay the French company 220 million euros (about $355 million).

  11258. @RustyBoysGaming >nothing will ever stop the CIA Chile example, USSR has supported its Cuban proxy that in turn supported Marxist Salvador Allende. You're a hypocrite. Marxist Salvador Allende clashed with the right-wing parties that controlled Congress and with the judiciary. On 11 September 1973, the military moved to oust Allende in a coup d'état. Marxist Salvador Allende's presidential branch effectively declared war on the judiciary and right-wing majority governed Congress branches. During the 1970 Chilean presidential election, both the United States and the Soviet Union poured money into this election through their intelligence agencies and other sources. 💰KGB money was more precisely targeted. Allende made a personal request for Soviet money through his personal contact, KGB officer Svyatoslav Kuznetsov, who urgently came to Chile from Mexico City to help Allende. The original allocation of money for these elections through the KGB was $400,000, and an additional personal subsidy of $50,000 directly to Allende.[8] It is believed that help from KGB was a decisive factor, because Allende won by a narrow margin of 39,000 votes of a total of the 3 million cast. After the elections, the KGB director Yuri Andropov obtained permission for additional money and other resources from the Central Committee of the CPSU to ensure Allende victory in Congress. In his request on 24 October, he stated that KGB "will carry out measures designed to promote the consolidation of Allende's victory and his election to the post of President of the country".[8] You're a hypocrite.

Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine to influence their politics. 4. Seek immediate Security Council action to provide assistance to Ukraine if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used". 5. Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against Ukraine. 6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments. China and France gave somewhat weaker individual assurances in separate documents. Russia has exited Budapest Memorandum.

  11278.  @garawa1987  News(from ABC NET AU) : Ancient virus lurking in remote Australia, affecting thousands of Aboriginal adults In a brightly lit lab in the outback town of Alice Springs, researchers have been inspecting vials of blood infected with an ancient virus that has lurked in Australia for thousands of years. It is called T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1— or HTLV-1 — and Australia has the highest levels in the world. A distant relative of HIV, it is a blood-borne virus that can be sexually transmitted or passed from mother to child. The virus can lead to inflammation of the skin, eyes and lungs. "You're also at risk of developing things like leukemia, so blood cancer, and becoming disabled through spinal cord injuries," researcher Joel Liddle said. "Once your pro-viral load is high, you're at a high risk of poor health." Researchers said, in most cases, leukaemia caused by the virus could be "rapidly fatal". Researchers from the Baker Institute for Heart and Diabetes in Alice Springs estimated 45 percent of Indigenous adults in central Australia had HTLV-1 . "In remote Australia, it's so out of sight, out of mind with a lot of things, health is just one of those things," Mr Liddle said. One of the difficulties with this virus is that most of those who have HTLV-1, don't know they have it, and a vast number of Aboriginal communities have never been tested. "I think there's probably confusion and a little bit of anger, too. People [question] why haven't they been told about this," Mr Liddle said. "There's a lot of reasons to breastfeed. Prolonged breastfeeding may be something that could be addressed but that's up to Aboriginal people to decide." For Mr Liddle, an Arrernte man, a response to high rates of HTLV-1 demands a delicate approach, with intensive education work delivered in Aboriginal languages. "I think there's a lot of work to do, certainly I think at the moment, what I see as our main thing is to engage sensitively around the issues because we're dealing with people's health, and all the things and complexities that are going on in remote communities, so we have to be really mindful of that." ------ This ancient virus is related to HIV( i.e. HTLV-1) and reduces an adult's life span. To fix this issue, non-Aboriginal R&D will be needed to cure this ancient issue, promote safe sex culture (i.e. change culture), and practise monogamy (i.e. change culture). The Aborigines are killing themselves by their own actions.

Collins Class's silent run has about 890 km range at 4 knots. Japanese AIP subs can do 6.5 knots with an 11,000 km range. Japanese AIP tech is licensed from Sweden. Cargo ships have a higher speed e.g. 20 knots. At higher speeds, Collins Class is not silent with submerged diesel run. Europe's non-nuclear powered submarines that defend smaller European countries' smaller coastlines shouldn't be used for Australia's 35,000 km coastline defense i.e. Australia is not Sweden nor Ireland. Ex-PM Paul Keating's defense argument is a small European country mindset instead of East Asia and Australia's large coastline. The reason why picked on Ireland is due to Paul Keating's Irish background.

New South Wales state Liberal party lost the recent state election when the state Labor party used the Australia 1st manufacturing argument. New South Wales's state Liberal party deserves to lose state government. Context Gladys Berejiklian (state of New South Wales, Premier from the state Liberal Party): "Australia and NSW are not good at building trains, that's why we have to purchase them (context: foreign trains)." Anthony Albanese (federal Labor, currently the Prime Minister): "She's wrong. Australians are great at building trains. I saw it at the Downer EDI factory in Maryborough last year." Australia is currently manufacturing Rheinmetall (from Germany) Boxer multirole armored fighting vehicles for Australia's internal usage (211 vehicles on order) and export. Australia's Boxer CRV is scheduled to be filled with the Israeli Spike-LR2 anti-tank missile. Australia is also building a BAE-designed custom Type 26 warship and Boeing Australia's MQ-28 Ghost Bat. Australia has many politicians like Gladys Berejiklian and they need to be voted out.

  11302.  Michael Kopischke  Date: March 2017 Kurdistan’s Interior Minister said on Tuesday the Regional Government (since its formation) had demanded from the Iraqi federal government to pay compensation to the families of Kurdish victims who suffered genocide, killing, and displacement from the former Iraqi regime. Rebar Ahmed stressed during the Parliament session that in 2014 “we decided to announce Halabja as a governorate,… but perhaps the big problem facing Halabja is that Iraq is not yet ready to recognize it as a governorate. Therefore, the federal government did not allocate a financial budget for it.” Ahmed continued that when the first Kurdish delegation went to Baghdad, it delivered the Prime Minister a request to compensate the victims of the people of Kurdistan with 380 billion dollars for the crimes committed by Saddam Hussein's regime in Halabja, Anfal and to Barzanis, Faili Kurds, and all victims of Baath crimes. The Halabja chemical attack, also known as the Halabja Massacre or Bloody Friday was a massacre of Kurdish people that took place on 16 March 1988, during the closing days of the Iran–Iraq War in the Kurdish city of Halabja in Iraqi Kurdistan. The attack was part of the Al-Anfal Campaign in Kurdistan, as well as part of the Iraqi Army's attempt to repel the Iranian Operation Zafar 7. It took place 48 hours after the capture of the town by the Iranian Army. A United Nations (UN) medical investigation concluded that mustard gas was used in the attack, along with unidentified nerve agents. The incident was the largest chemical weapons attack directed against a civilian-populated area in history, killing between 3,200 and 5,000 people and injuring 7,000 to 10,000 more, most of them civilians. Preliminary results from surveys of the affected region showed an increased rate of cancer and birth defects in the years afterward. The Halabja attack has been officially defined by the Supreme Iraqi Criminal Tribunal as a genocidal massacre against the Kurdish people in Iraq ----- The Iraqi WMD issue is NOT yet over when Kurdish victims are suing European companies in the EU court system who sold chemicals to Saddam.

  11308. That's a FALSE narrative. Before Euromaidan, Russia started a trade war against Ukraine, forcing Yanukovych to sign a base rental extension agreement that breached Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17 disallows foreign military bases after 2017. Read the Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17 which disallows foreign military bases after 2017. CONSTITUTION OF UKRAINE Adopted at the Fifth Session of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on 28 June 1996 Article 17 The location of foreign military bases shall not be permitted on the territory of Ukraine. Yanukovych breached the Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17. After 2017, Ukraine's constitution is incompatible with foreign military bases hosting either NATO or CSTO. If Yanukovych didn't sign the military base rental extension, Russia would be kicked out of Crimea. Putin's narrative is FALSE. Putin's pressure caused Yanukovych to make a mistake.

  11310. Every country has the right to operate a biolab and Ukraine did NOT invade another country. Basic pathology blood test requires a bio lab. Saddam's Iraq invaded two other countries i.e. Kuwait and Iran. Remember, Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum exchanged Ukraine's nuclear WMD for security assurances from US, UK, and Russia. France and China signed a watered-down Budapest Memorandum. Budapest Memorandum requires Ukraine to join Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty as part of Ukraine's nuclear WMD disarmament. Tucker is ignorant of Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum. Russia has exited Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum. If the US exits from Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum, then Ukraine has the right to develop its WMDs to defend itself against land-grabbing Russian imperialists. Russia does not maintain Ukraine's territorial integrity. Did you know Australia has similar security assurances like Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum and Australia does NOT have a NATO Article V level guarantee with the US? From 1950 to the 1960s, Australia detonated nuclear bombs as a joint partner with the UK. Australia has many Biolabs for agriculture, animal health, human health and 'etc'. Allowing Russian-proven WMDs while disallowing Ukraine's ability to defend itself is the height of hypocrisy.

How close is Sweden to reaching full capacity? In the summer, Sweden's state epidemiologist frequently pointed out that Sweden had succeeded in one of its main strategic goals: keeping infections low enough to prevent the healthcare system being overwhelmed. Even at the peak of the first wave in mid-April, the country always had at least around 30 percent spare capacity in intensive care. But with temporary field hospitals dismantled over the summer and some other emergency measures no longer in place, the country has less intensive care beds available while there is a resurgence in cases.

Stockholm reported that 99 per cent of the region’s intensive care beds are full, sending the city into a panic and prompting calls for outside help. The country's death toll exceeded 7,500 last week and its death rate per capita is several times higher than that of its Nordic neighbours but lower than several European countries that opted for lockdowns. Stockholm is the Swedish region hardest hit by Covid-19, accounting for more than a third of the country's death toll from the virus.

Sweden, which has never imposed a full lockdown, has seen nearly 350,000 cases and more than 7,800 deaths - a lot more than its Scandinavian neighbours. Prime Minister Stefan Lofven said he agreed with the king's remarks. "Of course the fact that so many have died can't be considered as anything other than a failure," Mr Lofven told reporters. Referring to the government's strategy, Mr Lofven added that "it's when we are through the pandemic that the real conclusions can be drawn".

  11348. FALSE. Date: Jan. 7, 2010 Yanukovych: Ukraine will remain a neutral state. "It’s certain that Ukraine was and will be non-aligned state… We strive neither to join NATO nor the [CIS]CSTO [Collective Security Treaty Organization]. We’ll maintain a neutral status," Yanukovych said in an interview with the Komsomolskaya Pravda in Ukraine newspaper. -------- The trigger for Euromaidan was Yanukovych initiated non-neutrality policies such as joining a trade block instead of executing Switzerland-style neutrality. UK leaving the EU and joining CPTPP proves freedom of association. Before Euromaidan, Russia, however, has successfully used political and economic leverage to dissuade Ukraine from signing the E.U. deal. In the months prior to the Vilnius summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin engaged in a trade war with Kiev, blocking nearly all imports from Ukraine and cutting energy supplies to the country. In turn, this reduced Ukrainian exports by 25 percent and shrank the economy by 1.5 percent. Some trade background for the context From Tradebarrier Index (lower score = less trade barriers) New Zealand's tariff score is 2.92 Australia's tariff score is 3.03 UK's tariff score is 3.94 (after Brexit) Japan's tariff score is 4.05 US's tariff score is 4.54 Germany's tariff score is 4.88 EU's tariff score is 4.88 Russia's tariff score is 6.16 <-------- China's tariff score is 6.8 <------ Russia wants to maintain its higher trade protectionist policies.

The Ten Great Campaigns (Chinese: 十全武功; pinyin: Shíquán Wǔgōng) were a series of military campaigns launched by the Qing dynasty of China in the mid–late 18th century during the reign of the Qianlong Emperor (r. 1735–1796). They included three to enlarge the area of Qing control in Inner Asia: two against the Dzungars (1755–1757) and the "pacification" of Xinjiang (1758–1759). The other seven campaigns were more in the nature of police actions on frontiers already established: two wars to suppress the Gyalrong of Jinchuan, Sichuan, another to suppress the Taiwanese Aboriginals (1787–88), and four expeditions abroad against the Burmese (1765–1769), the Vietnamese (1788–1789), and the Gurkhas on the border between Tibet and Nepal (1790–1792), with the last counting as two.

Before British colonization, at the beginning of the 19th century, Usman dan Fodio led a successful jihad against the Hausa Kingdoms founding the centralised Sokoto Caliphate. The empire with Arabic as its official language grew rapidly under his rule and that of his descendants, who sent out invading armies in every direction. The vast landlocked empire connected the east with the western Sudan region and made inroads down south conquering parts of the Oyo Empire (modern-day Kwara), and advanced towards the Yoruba heartland of Ibadan, to reach the Atlantic Ocean. The territory controlled by the empire included much of modern-day northern and central Nigeria. The sultan sent out emirs to establish a suzerainty over the conquered territories and promote Islamic civilization, the emirs in turn became increasingly rich and powerful through trade and slavery. By the 1890s, the largest slave population in the world, about two million, was concentrated in the territories of the Sokoto Caliphate. The use of slave labour was extensive, especially in agriculture. ---- Woke professor Yaba Blay is racist herself when She stereotyped a certain racial group.

  11392.  @hueym2196  Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte has been told to drop his government’s controversial nitrogen emissions policy by Caroline van der Plas, the leader of the Farmer-Citizen Movement (BBB) who stormed to victory in regional elections last week, as the pair met for the first time since the electoral success. At van der Plas’ invitation, the meeting took place at De Landbouw restaurant in Wassenaar, an affluent suburb of The Hague on Tuesday. The BBB leader urged Rutte to admit defeat on his nitrogen emissions reduction policy which has resulted in nationwide protests among rural communities and propelled van der Plas’ party into amassing the highest number of seats in the Dutch Senate. “The support in the cabinet has more or less been canceled, and I wanted to know from him how seriously he takes this,” van der Plas told De Telegraaf about the meet. “I have expressed some serious concerns. Also about the crisis of confidence in the Netherlands, sticking to 2030, and the expropriation of farmers. I told Rutte: just take it out, that will give you peace of mind,” she added. The BBB leader revealed she would soon be taking her opposition to the Dutch government’s plans to Brussels, telling reporters she will schedule a call with EU Commissioner Frans Timmermans imminently. “In Europe, the basic rules are laid down. Timmermans has already indicated that there is some movement on how Europe can help the Netherlands get rid of the nitrogen lock. I am now going back to the office to make an appointment with him,” she added. Rutte offered little to the press following the meeting, claiming the pair had a “good” and “nice conversation.” The heavy defeat of his four-party coalition government has thrown the emissions plans into jeopardy, and the minor Christian Democratic Appeal has already called for change. Party leader Wopke Hoekstra suggested on Friday his party would propose adjustments to cabinet policy, and on Tuesday morning, party colleague Pieter Heerma also called for a government reversal.

  11397. That's a FALSE narrative. Before Euromaidan, Russia started a trade war against Ukraine, forcing Yanukovych to sign a base rental extension agreement that breached Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17 disallows foreign military bases after 2017. Read the Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17 which disallows foreign military bases after 2017. CONSTITUTION OF UKRAINE Adopted at the Fifth Session of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on 28 June 1996 Article 17 The location of foreign military bases shall not be permitted on the territory of Ukraine. Yanukovych breached the Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17. After 2017, Ukraine's constitution is incompatible with foreign military bases hosting either NATO or CSTO. If Yanukovych didn't sign the military base rental extension, Russia would be kicked out of Crimea. Putin's narrative is FALSE. Putin's pressure caused Yanukovych to make a mistake. European Union is in competition against Russia's Eurasian Economic Union.

CONSTITUTION OF UKRAINE Adopted at the Fifth Session of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on 28 June 1996 Article 17 The location of foreign military bases shall not be permitted on the territory of Ukraine. Yanukovych breached the Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17. After 2017, Ukraine's constitution is incompatible with foreign military bases hosting either NATO or CSTO. If Yanukovych didn't sign the military base rental extension, Russia would be kicked out of Crimea. Putin's narrative is FALSE. Putin's pressure caused Yanukovych to make a mistake.

  11422. Sheikhdom of Kuwait Kuwait was founded in 1613 AD as a fishing village known as Grane (Kureyn). The region soon came under the rule of the Bani Khalid Emirate in 1670 after the expulsion of the Ottomans from Eastern Arabia (Lahsa Eyalet) by Barrack bin Ghurayr, Emir of the Bani Khalid, who successfully besieged the Ottoman governor Umar Pasha who surrendered and gave up his rule as the fourth Ottoman governor of al-Hasa. In 1752, Kuwait became independent after an agreement between the Sheikh of Kuwait and the Emir of Bani Khalid in which Bani Khalid recognised Sabah I bin Jaber's independent rule over Kuwait and in exchange Kuwait would not ally itself or support the enemies of Bani Khalid or interfere in the internal affairs of Bani Khalid in any way.

  11429.  @dailynhicks2731  >Ukraine is just an excuse, it is between USA and Russia, why should other countries suffer. FALSE. Soviet–Ukrainian War occurred between 1917 to 1921, a war between the Ukrainian People's Republic vs the Bolsheviks i.e. Ukrainian Soviet Republic and Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (modern-day Russian Federation). Ukrainian People's Republic is the modern-day Ukraine. This is an "old world" issue. For Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum context, Russia, the US, and the UK confirmed their Ukraine becoming parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and effectively abandoning their nuclear arsenal to Russia and that they would: 1. Respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders. 2. Refrain from the threat or the use of force against Ukraine. 3. Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine to influence their politics. 4. Seek immediate Security Council action to provide assistance to Ukraine if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used". 5. Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against Ukraine. 6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments. China and France gave somewhat weaker individual assurances in separate documents. US and UK are fulfilling points 4 and 6 in accordance with Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum. Budapest Memorandum's security assurances are weaker than NATO's Article V and EU's Article 42.7. Are you arguing for the US to abandon the Budapest Memorandum?

The numbers are within LOCKDOWN management which can't use for unmanaged "What IF" situation. In most cases, COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) causes fluid which is mostly made up of dead cell's internal components to build up in the lungs hence reducing oxygen transfusion capability and reduce oxygen levels can cause organs to shut down. In other cases, COVID-19 can cause blood clots. Blood Type plays a role in COVID-19 severity with Type O has less severe when compared to Type-A. Breathing ventilation treatment (forced pushed airflow) can be the wrong solution when compared to a higher oxygen density treatment (e.g. method used for UK PM's Boris Johnson). The death rate can be lowered e.g. https://www.henryford.com/news/2020/07/hydro-treatment-study July 2020's Treatment with Hydroxychloroquine Cut Death Rate Significantly in COVID-19 Patients, Henry Ford Health System Study Shows.

  11491. Successful Tests For Lockheed Martin GMLRS In Jamming Environment Date: Nov 28, 2007 Lockheed Martin [LMT] says it recently successfully conducted two anti-jamming Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (GMLRS) Unitary rocket Phase II Product Qualification Test flights at White Sands Missile Range, N.M. These GPS2 jamming tests demonstrated both GMLRS rocket performance while in a GPS jamming environment at long range, as well as how the warhead functioned using the Point Detonating fuze within the jamming environment. All tests objectives were achieved. “Throughout the process to achieve these milestones, the highest levels in the Department of the Army, the Office of the Secretary of Defense and the Joint Staff have recognized the outstanding success of the GMLRS program,” Lt. Col. Mark Pincoski, U.S. Army product manager, Precision Guided Missiles and Rockets, said in a statement issued by Lockheed Martin. The two missions were fired from the HIMARS launcher using one rocket per mission after the launch pod container was conditioned to the hot temperature extreme, the company said. The first rocket employed the GMLRS vertical trajectory shaping software that allows the rocket to impact the target vertically, while the second incorporated the nominal trajectory shaping software, which allows for the standard ballistic trajectory flight pattern. Both rockets flew their expected trajectories and functioned as designed in the target area. Al Duchesne, director of Missile and Rocket Programs at Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control, said: “These tests validated a very tough requirement. This means that GMLRS Unitary can be effectively and productively employed every time–when low collateral damage is a concern and in close proximity to friendly troops–given its surgical precision.” The tests further qualified the effects of the unitary warhead on the target following detonation, and continued to demonstrate that the Follow-On configuration hardware and software design complies with the program objectives and requirements, the statement said. “This mission specifically demonstrated rocket performance and provided system performance data in a GPS jamming environment,” Pincoski said.

They included three to enlarge the area of Qing control in Inner Asia: two against the Dzungars (1755–1757) and the "pacification" of Xinjiang (1758–1759). The other seven campaigns were more in the nature of police actions on frontiers already established: two wars to suppress the Gyalrong of Jinchuan, Sichuan, another to suppress the Taiwanese Aboriginals (1787–88), and four expeditions abroad against the Burmese (1765–1769), the Vietnamese (1788–1789), and the Gurkhas on the border between Tibet and Nepal (1790–1792), with the last counting as two. President Xi's argument is based on historical Imperial China's Ten Great Campaigns. Territorial disputes around Xi's China are based on Imperial China's Ten Great Campaigns. During the 4th Sino-Burmese Wars starting in 1768, Imperial China invaded the Kingdom of Burma. Burma hired European musketeers and gunners, hence Burma allied itself with the rising French Empire against Imperial China's invasion. Imperial China's imperialist conquest led to kinetic engagement with other powers. Look in the mirror. ----- Picking on the Britsh is flawed when the UK lost the British Empire. The British Empire does NOT exist. Both China and Russia are the two surviving "old world" imperial empires that largely preserved their imperial land territories. China and Russia think that communism clean slate of their imperialist colonial past.

  11501.  @duckmanone5435  Before Euromaidan, Russia started a trade war against Ukraine, forcing Yanukovych to sign a base rental extension agreement that breached Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17 disallows foreign military bases after 2017. Read the Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17 which disallows foreign military bases after 2017. CONSTITUTION OF UKRAINE Adopted at the Fifth Session of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on 28 June 1996 Article 17 The location of foreign military bases shall not be permitted on the territory of Ukraine. Yanukovych breached the Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17. After 2017, Ukraine's constitution is incompatible with foreign military bases hosting either NATO or CSTO. If Yanukovych didn't sign the military base rental extension, Russia would be kicked out of Crimea. Putin's narrative is FALSE. Putin's pressure caused Yanukovych to make a mistake. Look in the mirror. Your argument about the Minsk Peace Agreements of 2014 is meaningless when Russia executed old-school imperialist land grabbing five Oblast from Ukraine. The peaceful method is to execute targeted refugee policies just as Australia/UK/Canada/NZ did when your fellow BRICS member South African government prosecuted the White farmers. The US, UK, and Russia signed Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum that traded Ukraine's nuclear weapons for security assurances. Russia has exited Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum. France and China have signed a watered-down Budapest Memorandum. US, UK, and France are "respecting" Ukraine's territorial integrity and support "security assurance" for Ukraine and you can't say the same for Russia.

  11510. Quoting Out Of The Shadows: RNLAF experiences with the F-35A - Combat Aircraft Magazine May 2018 specifically against David Axe's leaked Y2015 report. Knight divulged a little more information about flying basic fighter manoeuvres (BFM) in an F-35. 'When our envelope was cleared to practise BFM we got the opportunity to fight some fourth-generation fighters. Remember, back the rumors were that the F-35 was a pig. The first time the opponents showed up [in the training area] they had wing tanks along with a bunch of missiles. I guess they figured that being in a dirty configuration wouldn't really matter and that they would still easily outmanoeuvre us. By the end of the week, though, they had dropped their wing tanks, transitioned to a single centerline fuel tank and were still doing everything they could not to get gunned by us. A week later they stripped the jets clean of all external stores, which made the BFM fights interesting, to say the least ---- 1. Lightest empty weight F-16A MLU air-superiority model needs to be clean (no weapons, no external tanks) to make visual range dogfight interesting against combat-loaded F-35A Block 3F. 2.

  11522.  @ozymandiasnullifidian5590  Report: Saudi Arabia Presses U.S. on Overthrowing Saddam Hussein Date: January 19, 1992 From AP NEWS NEW YORK (AP) _ Saudi Arabia is pressuring the Bush administration to secretly arm and give intelligence to Iraqi opposition forces so they can work to overthrow Saddam Hussein, a newspaper reported Sunday. The Saudis want the United States to give arms and intelligence to Kurdish rebels in north Iraq, Shiite Muslim fighters in the south and Sunni Muslim opposition forces in central Iraq, the Times said, quoting U.S. and allied officials it didn’t name. ----- Date: March 2017 Kurdistan’s Interior Minister said on Tuesday the Regional Government since its formation had demanded from the federal government to pay compensation to the families of Kurdish victims who suffered genocide, killing, and displacement from the former Iraqi regime. Rebar Ahmed stressed during the Parliament session that in 2014 “we decided to announce Halabja as a governorate,… but perhaps the big problem facing Halabja is that Iraq is not yet ready to recognize it as a governorate. Therefore, the federal government did not allocate a financial budget for it.” Ahmed continued that when the first Kurdish delegation went to Baghdad, it delivered the Prime Minister a request to compensate the victims of the people of Kurdistan with 380 billion dollars for the crimes committed by Saddam Hussein's regime in Halabja, Anfal and to Barzanis, Faili Kurds, and all victims of Baath crimes. The Halabja chemical attack, also known as the Halabja Massacre or Bloody Friday was a massacre of Kurdish people that took place on 16 March 1988, during the closing days of the Iran–Iraq War in the Kurdish city of Halabja in Iraqi Kurdistan. The attack was part of the Al-Anfal Campaign in Kurdistan, as well as part of the Iraqi Army's attempt to repel the Iranian Operation Zafar 7. It took place 48 hours after the capture of the town by the Iranian Army. A United Nations (UN) medical investigation concluded that mustard gas was used in the attack, along with unidentified nerve agents. The incident was the largest chemical weapons attack directed against a civilian-populated area in history, killing between 3,200 and 5,000 people and injuring 7,000 to 10,000 more, most of them civilians. Preliminary results from surveys of the affected region showed an increased rate of cancer and birth defects in the years afterward. The Halabja attack has been officially defined by the Supreme Iraqi Criminal Tribunal as a genocidal massacre against the Kurdish people in Iraq

Wuhan’s major virus type, ‘B’, was prevalent in patients from across East Asia. However, the variant didn’t travel much beyond the region without further mutations – implying a 'founder event' in Wuhan, or 'resistance' against this type of COVID-19 outside East Asia, say researchers. * CCP's claim "No proof that COVID-19 originated in Wuhanr" is bullshit* .

Node A is the root cluster obtained with the bat (R. affinis) coronavirus isolate BatCoVRaTG13 from Yunnan Province. Circle areas are proportional to the number of taxa, and each notch on the links represents a mutated nucleotide position. The sequence range under consideration is 56 to 29,797, with nucleotide position (np) numbering according to the Wuhan 1 reference sequence (8). The median-joining network algorithm (2) and the Steiner algorithm (9) were used, both implemented in the software package Network5011CS (https://www.fluxus-engineering.com/), with the parameter epsilon set to zero, generating this network containing 288 most-parsimonious trees of length 229 mutations. The reticulations are mainly caused by recurrent mutations at np11083. The 161 taxa (160 human viruses and one bat virus) yield 101 distinct genomic sequences. The phylogenetic diagram is available for detailed scrutiny in A0 poster format (SI Appendix, Fig. S5) and in the free Network download files.

On the first day after the pullout a dialogue is to start on modalities of conducting local elections in accordance with the Ukrainian legislation and the Law of Ukraine "On temporary Order of Local Self-Governance in Particular Districts of Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts," and also about the future of these districts based on the above-mentioned law. Without delays, but no later than 30 days from the date of signing of this document, a resolution has to be approved by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, indicating the territory which falls under the special regime in accordance with the law "On temporary Order of Local Self-Governance in Particular Districts of Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts," based in the line set up by the Minsk Memorandum as of 19 September 2014. 5. Provide pardon and amnesty by way of enacting a law that forbids persecution and punishment of persons in relation to events that took place in particular districts of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts of Ukraine. 6. Provide release and exchange of all hostages and illegally held persons, based on the principle of "all for all". This process has to end – at the latest – on the fifth day after the pullout (of weapons). 7. Provide safe access, delivery, storage and distribution of humanitarian aid to the needy, based on an international mechanism. 8. Define the modalities of a full restoration of social and economic connections, including social transfers, such as payments of pensions and other payments (income and revenue, timely payment of communal bills, restoration of tax payments within the framework of Ukrainian legal field). With this aim, Ukraine will restore management over the segment of its banking system in the districts affected by the conflict, and possibly, an international mechanism will be established to ease such transactions. 9. Restore control of the state border to the Ukrainian government in the whole conflict zone, which has to start on the first day after the local election and end after the full political regulation (local elections in particular districts of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts based on the law of Ukraine and Constitutional reform) by the end of 2015, on the condition of fulfilment of Point 11 – in consultations and in agreement with representatives of particular districts of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts within the framework of the Trilateral Contact Group. 10. Pullout of all foreign armed formations, military equipment, and also mercenaries from the territory of Ukraine under OSCE supervision. Disarmament of all illegal groups. 11. Constitutional reform in Ukraine, with a new constitution to come into effect by the end of 2015, the key element of which is decentralisation (taking into account peculiarities of particular districts of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts, agreed with representatives of these districts), and also approval of permanent legislation on the special status of particular districts of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts in accordance with the measures spelt out in the attached footnote,[note 1] by the end of 2015. 12. Based on the Law of Ukraine "On temporary Order of Local Self-Governance in Particular Districts of Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts", questions related to local elections will be discussed and agreed upon with representatives of particular districts of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts in the framework of the Trilateral Contact Group. Elections will be held in accordance with relevant OSCE standards and monitored by OSCE/ODIHR. 13. Intensify the work of the Trilateral Contact Group including through the establishment of working groups on the implementation of relevant aspects of the Minsk agreements. They will reflect the composition of the Trilateral Contact Group. Signatories The document was signed by: Separatist's leaders Alexander Zakharchenko and Igor Plotnitsky Swiss diplomat and OSCE representative Heidi Tagliavini Former president of Ukraine and Ukrainian representative Leonid Kuchma Russian Ambassador to Ukraine and Russian representative Mikhail Zurabov ------

March 1, 2014, the Federation Council of the Russian Federation unanimously adopted a resolution to petition Russian President Vladimir Putin to use military force in Ukraine.

Respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders. 2. Refrain from the threat or the use of force against Ukraine. 3. Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine to influence their politics. 4. Seek immediate Security Council action to provide assistance to Ukraine if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used". 5.

  11614.  @ppvshenoy  Both the United States and the Soviet Union had attempted to establish strong links with India following the Sino-Indian war of 1962, much to the disturbance of Pakistan especially since she was already in a military alliance with the United States. India had obtained substantial military and economic assistance from the United States towards the end of the conflict, but remained committed to the Non-Aligned Movement. Following the end of the conflict, Soviet offers of MiG fighter aircraft, as well as offers for transfer of technology and production facilities for military hardware confirmed India's preference for Moscow in terms of long-term security collaboration. In 1963, the US Navy deployed its first Carrier group in the Indian Ocean close to the Indian coast. However, since this was within a year of the end of the Sino-Indian conflict, where the US and Britain had offered substantial help to India, this was not interpreted as a diplomatic pressure or a show-of-force, and was in all probability training exercises to familiarise the navy with the Indian Ocean area. India had also at this time allowed the US to install intelligence gathering devices in the Himalayan peaks close to China, on the conditions of intelligence-sharing.

In 1752, Kuwait became independent after an agreement between the Sheikh of Kuwait and the Emir of Bani Khalid in which Bani Khalid recognised Sabah I bin Jaber's independent rule over Kuwait and in exchange Kuwait would not ally itself or support the enemies of Bani Khalid or interfere in the internal affairs of Bani Khalid in any way. ---- Iraq invaded Kuwait.

  11652. @D L Nope, US Army already has M26 Pershing and Super Pershing. US Amry's General Lesley McNair needs to be removed from his position. McNair was the main blocker against M26 program. McNair was killed by friendly fire. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M26_Pershing McNair, who was an artillery officer, had promulgated the "tank destroyer doctrine" in the U.S. Army. In this doctrine, tanks were primarily for infantry support and exploitation of breakthroughs. Those tactics dictated that enemy tanks were to be engaged by tank destroyer forces, which were composed of lightly armored but relatively fast vehicles carrying more powerful anti-tank guns, as well as towed versions of these anti-tank guns. Under the tank destroyer doctrine, emphasis was placed only on improving the firepower of the tank destroyers, as there was a strong bias against developing a heavy tank to take on enemy tanks. This also limited improvements in the firepower of the M4 Sherman.[28] The US Army Ground Forces that supported this doctrine got the approval of new TD projects, one of them using the same 90 mm gun, while at the same time they were blocking tank projects. ---- General Devers pressed on with his advocacy for the T26, going over McNair's head to General George Marshall, and, on 16 December 1943, Marshall overruled McNair and authorized the production of 250 T26E1 tanks. Then, in late December 1943, Devers was transferred to the Mediterranean, where he eventually led the invasion of Southern France with the 6th Army Group. In his absence, further attempts were made to derail the T26 program, but continued support from Generals Marshall and Eisenhower kept the production order alive ---------------------- Politics has delayed US Army's heavy tank development.

M4 tanks has 49,234 units x 33 tons = 1,624,722, Russian T34 tanks has similar number. M10 tank destroyer has 6,406 units x 29 tons = 185,774 tons M18 tank destroyer has 2,507 units x 39 tons = 97,773 tons M36 tank destroyer has 2,324 units x 29 tons = 67,396 tons M36 has 90 mm gun. Sub-Total: 2,072,993 tons M4 Sherman Firefly (UK) has 2,200 units x 35 tons = 77,000 tons. Firefly takes on Tiger I and Panther tanks. US has both quality (M26) and numbers (M4).

Significant amount of USN's tonnage was against Japanese navy. WW2 UK has similar aircraft carrier builds as Imperial Japan i.e. around 10 to 11 units. Not including UK, US and Canada other surface combat ships e.g. destroyers, heavy cruisers, battleships and 'etc'. Grand Total: 5,871,638 tons For US, that's already 10.3X times over Germany's iron/steel tonnage extract/production. WW2 Russian navy is small. WW2 German navy is small.

The 2000 U.S. census states that racial categories "generally reflect a social definition of race recognized in this country. They do not conform to any biological, anthropological or genetic criteria."[23] The Census Bureau defines White people as follows: "White" refers to a person having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East or North Africa. It includes people who indicated their race(s) as "White" or reported entries such as German, Italian, Lebanese, Arab, Moroccan, or Caucasian.[5] Brazil's race category is self-identified.

  11712.  @ransertu7630  From Prakken d'Oliveira (human rights lawyers) ---- Date: 25 April 2013 On 24 April 2013, the district court of The Hague sentenced Dutch businessman Frans van Anraat to payment of damages to the victims of mustard-gas attacks in Iraq and Iran in the 1980s. The district court declared Iranian and Iraqi law applicable to the claims. It found one of the claims filed by an Iraqi plaintiff to inadmissible due to prescription. The court granted the sixteen other claims, and awarded the plaintiffs Euro 25.000,00 each for immaterial damages suffered. During the Saddam Hussein-regime, Van Anraat supplied the Iraqi military industry with large quantities of thiodiglycol (‘TDG’). The Iraqi regime then used that material to produce mustard gas, which was subsequently processed in bombs. The Iraqi regime then used those bombs against civilians in the mid-eighties. The civilians suffered serious, lasting damage (to their health) as a result. The seventeen plaintiffs in this case were victims of these chemical attacks. The criminal involvement of Van Anraat with these war crimes was confirmed in a final judgment by a three-judge chamber of the Appeals Court of The Hague. However, the chamber referred the claims filed by the victims as ‘injured party’ to the civil court. For that reason, plaintiffs subpoenaed Van Anraat in a civil suit on 14 December 2009, respectively 7 July 2010. Lawyer Liesbeth Zegveld represented the victims in both the criminal case and the civil procedure. ----- The Iraqi WMD question is still ongoing and the European courts will deal with it.

  11713.  @ransertu7630  >However, I can well believe Kuwait was stealing. Prove it. American drillers denied that Kuwait would need to incorporate this technology saying, “Oil flows easily from the Rumalia field [to the Ratqa field] without any need for these techniques.” Lastly, it should be noted that a, “Senior vice president of OGE Drilling Inc., a Houston company that provided oilfield supervisors and workers for Kuwait in the same area, said he was ‘positive’ all of the weeks his employees drilled and operated ran vertically down to the Rumalia pay zone. ‘That field crosses the border in north Kuwait,’ he added. ‘Iraqis were drilling on one side, and Kuwaitis on the other side.’” Now of course no company would come out and say they were stealing from Iraq so this information should be looked at with a healthy skepticism. Kuwait has the same rights to drill for oil as any other Middle East country. The main reason for Iraq's existence is due to the UK-France border creation after the Ottoman Empire's WW1 loss and Turkey's demand for no establishment of an independent state of Kurdistan.

  11778. @Jay P Example, KEVIN Rudd's wife Therese Rein has put his political ambitions ahead of her career by agreeing to sell the Australian arm of her $175 million job placement business. She announced the move last night in an attempt to end to damaging headlines about her company's employment practices which have embarrassed the Labor leader. She said the sale would proceed irrespective of whether Mr Rudd becomes Prime Minister at the next election. It is expected to net her hundreds of millions of dollars. Ms Rein will retain ownership of international operations which generate annual revenues of almost $90 million. The announcement came after former employees of her company complained about their treatment, with one accusing her of being a "bastard'' boss. John Barry and Kristy Smedley told The Sunday Telegraph they were unfairly treated despite her husband's pro-worker stand. "She's (Ms Rein) a bastard. She's sacked so many people over the years and done so much damage,'' Mr Barry said. Ms Smedley, 23, who was employed on a six-month contract, believes she was sacked for standing up to a bullying boss who screamed at staff. ----- All participants are identified between Rudds vs Smedley and Barry.

  11788. @Jay P >This example will show you how little you people know about the dirty tactics of Australians in Png That's a red herring. >Ok Tedi mine the Australian Manager opened a bank account in Singapore in 2013 the balance was 5 Billion and 200 Aussie owned credit cards were living off that account until one of the landowners complained they were not getting their royalties. Ok Tedi Mining Limited. The PNG Sustainable Development Program (SDP) was set up after BHP’s exit from the Ok Tedi mine in PNG’s Western Province just over a decade ago i.e. Year 2002. Essentially, BHP wanted to shut down the mine, the PNG government, however, wanted the mine to continue because it needed the tax revenue. (BHP exits from Ok Tedi Mining Limited from about 2002). But BHP did not want to give its shares in Ok Tedi to the PNG government because of well-established concerns about corruption and limited capacity within the PNG public sector. The compromise reached was an agreement that PNG would give its shares to a new trust fund, SDP, which would be registered in Singapore as a public company to be run by a board of directors, some nominated by BHP, the others nominated by a variety of PNG institutions . SDP was established in 2002. After a third shareholder exited, SDP was left with 63% of Ok Tedi’s shares. The remaining 37% were held by the government. With last decade’s resource boom, Ok Tedi became much more profitable than had ever been envisaged. It is now PNG’s largest mine and revenue earner. In 2011, it paid K1.2 billion (about $508 million) in tax. The original idea that the mine would close shortly after 2010 has been replaced by a plan to extend mine-life by shifting from open-cut to below-ground mining, which would require new legislation. SDP’s funds also grew rapidly over the decade. The value of its long-term fund reached $US 1.4 billion in 2012. Its annual development expenditure expanded, making it the second-largest donor in PNG, after AusAID. There was recurring tension between SDP and the PNG government over the last decade, but Sir Michael Somare had helped negotiate the deal while he was mining minister, so while he was prime minister (from 2002 to 2011) SDP was safe. Towards the end of 2012, Ross Garnaut, chairman of SDP since its inception, handed over the reins to Sir Mekere Morauta, who, as PM at the establishment of SDP, had also helped negotiate the deal. Comments made by Garnaut at the time about revenue from Ok Tedi (“it’s very tempting for political figures to think of better ways of using it right now rather than putting it into long-term development”) led to the PM banning his entry to the country. (An aside on another SDP board member: there was a remarkable announcement in the media recently that Jacob Weiss, a former International Monetary Fund employee who helped establish SDP and who served on its board as the Central Bank’s representative for the last 10 years, was stood down earlier in the year by the SDP Board on conflict-of-interest grounds, including his “appointment as the leader of the government team set up to take over PNG SDP’s shares in Ok Tedi”. It doesn’t get much stranger than that.) It became clear under O’Neill that legislation would only be passed to extend the life of Ok Tedi if SDP exited. Under its new chairman, SDP took a pragmatic and conciliatory approach. At its annual meeting a few months ago, Mekere appeared to acquiesce to its removal from Ok Tedi provided that there was a negotiated agreement, including a “fair and transparent” process. It seems from press reports that there were some discussions, but evidently agreement could not be reached. And so, after an escalating war of words, O’Neill not only introduced legislation this week, but had it passed by Parliament, all in the same day, to nationalise both Ok Tedi and SDP. According to reports, some members absented themselves from the vote, including Sir Michael Somare, who spoke against it, but no one voted against it. ------------ 1. In 2002, BHP Billiton completed its withdrawal from the project by transferring its majority shareholding to the PNG Sustainable Development Program. 2. Ok Tedi mine was nationalized in 2013. 3. Dr. Jakob Weiss (the IMF guy), a central banking specialist from the Bank of Israel to head the Economics department at the Bank of PNG. Unlike you, names were identified and attached. 4. Notice the amount of Australian aid (AusAID) being given to PNG exceeds SDP’s.

  11807. Pierre Elliott Trudeau had a thing for Marxism and communist leaders, regardless of how murderous and despotic they were. And he apparently passed it down to his son. Back in 2013, for example, Trudeau was asked at a fundraising event what nation he admired the most. He didn’t even hesitate. “There’s a level of admiration I actually have for China,” he responded. “Their basic dictatorship is actually allowing them to turn their economy around on a dime.” Trudeau Sr. had been to China twice as a private citizen before his official 1973 visit as the prime minister of Canada, meeting privately in the Forbidden City with the rarely-seen Chairman Mao Zedong, then pushing 80. The atrocities Mao inflicted on his people were well documented by intelligence agencies, monitoring what the Cold War era then referred to as Red China. Pierre Trudeau was not blind to these obscenities. Many historians, in fact, put Mao above Hitler and Stalin when it comes to infamy, citing him as responsible for an estimated 40 million to 70 million deaths through starvation, forced labour and executions, with his tenure ranked as the top incident of democide in all of human history. When estimated death tolls vary by as much as 30 million, which is the approximate population of Canada, it speaks volumes about China’s iron lid on containment. Three years after Mao, Pierre Trudeau was off to Havana to become pals with Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, so much so that Castro, despite then being quite feeble, insisted on attending Trudeau’s funeral in Montreal 16 years ago. A 2009 report by Human Rights Watch concluded that Castro’s brother, Raul Castro, has “kept Cuba’s repressive machinery firmly in place” since taking over control of the country. There is little doubt that Justin Trudeau will be reminded of his father’s grand associations with Mao and Castro when he meets at the end of next month with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Any idealogies from loser countries from Germany to Russia are ideological land mines which sets the stage for WW2. -------------- https://www.britannica.com/topic/Talmud Opposition To The Talmud Despite the central place of the Talmud in traditional Jewish life and thought, significant Jewish groups and individuals have opposed it vigorously. The Karaite sect in Babylonia, beginning in the 8th century, refuted the oral tradition and denounced the Talmud as a rabbinic fabrication. Medieval Jewish mystics declared the Talmud a mere shell covering the concealed meaning of the written Torah, and heretical messianic sects in the 17th and 18th centuries totally rejected it. The decisive blow to Talmudic authority came in the 18th and 19th centuries when the Haskala (the Jewish Enlightenment movement) and its aftermath, Reform Judaism, secularized Jewish life and, in doing so, shattered the Talmudic wall that had surrounded the Jews. Thereafter, modernized Jews usually rejected the Talmud as a medieval anachronism, denouncing it as legalistic, casuistic, devitalized, and unspiritual. Reformist Jews dumps Talmud!

Before Euromaidan, Russia, however, has successfully used political and economic leverage to dissuade Ukraine from signing the E.U. deal. In the months prior to the Vilnius summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin engaged in a trade war with Kiev, blocking nearly all imports from Ukraine and cutting energy supplies to the country. In turn, this reduced Ukrainian exports by 25 percent and shrank the economy by 1.5 percent. Russia started a series of events that lead to Euromaidan.

  11860.  @nobordersnowelfare7285  >or how about 13% flat tax like in Russia? The Russian tax system tends to use moderate flat or regressive tax rates. It is highly centralized for a federal state and relies heavily on proceeds from oil and natural gas corporations, who themselves are mostly state owned. In 2006 the tax burden on oil companies exceeded 45 percent of net sales (compared to 12 percent in construction and 16.5 percent in telecommunications). Rates for oil-related taxes and tariffs, unlike regular taxes, are set not by the Tax Code but by government decree. The Russian Ministry of Finance estimated that revenues regulated by the Tax Code accounted for 68 percent of federal revenue in 2008 fiscal year, rising to 73 percent in 2010. Individuals are supposed to pay in income tax (13 percent), land tax (0.3 percent of the land's cadastral plot which is calculated by a special formula) and vehicle tax (which is linked to the vehicle's engine power). Most small businesses are eligible for simplified taxation and can choose one of the following taxes: income tax (6 percent) or profits tax (15 percent) or unified agricultural tax (6 percent, farmers only) or tax on imputed income (calculated by a special formula, certain companies only). Corporate taxes for medium and large businesses include profits tax (20 percent), value-added tax (20 percent), property tax (0-2 percent) and some other taxes like water tax and mineral tax. ------ Russia's VAT (GST in Oz) is 20%. Australia's GST is 10%.

  11868.  @fromscotland2380  Claim, NATO Promised Not To Expand A Single Inch East! Fact : Six countries only Agreed To Restrictions On Former GDR In 1990, six countries – East and West Germany, the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain and France – held discussions on the reunification of Germany. The Germans, Americans, British, and French agreed that there would be “no deployment of non-German NATO forces on the territory of the former GDR (East Germany)“. That agreement was incorporated in Article 5 of the Treaty on the Final Settlement with Respect to Germany, which was signed on 12 September 1990 by the six countries : Until Soviet forces had completed their withdrawal from the former GDR, only German territorial defense units not integrated into NATO would be deployed in that territory. There would be no increase in the numbers of troops or equipment of U.S., British and French forces stationed in Berlin. Once Soviet forces had withdrawn, German forces assigned to NATO could be deployed in the former GDR, but foreign forces and nuclear weapons systems would not be deployed there. --- In 1997, NATO and Russia signed a treaty stating that each country had a sovereign right to seek alliances (1) 1. Founding Act on Mutual Relations, Cooperation and Security between NATO and the Russian Federation signed in Paris, France.

  11880. XI's China has modern-day territorial disputes based on Imperial China's Ten Great Campaigns. The Ten Great Campaigns (Chinese: 十全武功; pinyin: Shíquán Wǔgōng) were a series of military campaigns launched by the Qing dynasty of China in the mid–late 18th century during the reign of the Qianlong Emperor (r. 1735–1796). They included three to enlarge the area of Qing control in Inner Asia: two against the Dzungars (1755–1757) and the "pacification" of Xinjiang (1758–1759). The other seven campaigns were more in the nature of police actions on frontiers already established: two wars to suppress the Gyalrong of Jinchuan, Sichuan, another to suppress the Taiwanese Aboriginals (1787–88), and four expeditions abroad against the Burmese (1765–1769), the Vietnamese (1788–1789), and the Gurkhas on the border between Tibet and Nepal (1790–1792), with the last counting as two. President Xi's argument is based on historical Imperial China's Ten Great Campaigns. Territorial disputes around Xi's China are based on Imperial China's Ten Great Campaigns. During the 4th Sino-Burmese Wars starting in 1768, Imperial China invaded the Kingdom of Burma. Burma hired European musketeers and gunners, hence Burma allied itself with the rising French Empire against Imperial China's invasion. Imperial China is an imperialist power that led to engagement with other powers.

This ousting was sparked by Yanukovych's last-minute refusal to sign the agreement. Russia, Ukraine's second largest trading partner, instead presented an association with the existing Customs Union of Russia, Belarus, and Kazakhstan as an alternative. For Ukraine, Russia offered Eurasian Customs Union while placing higher tariffs on Ukraine.

Therefore, the Russian government had announced new tariffs on Ukrainian products if, as planned, the Association Agreement entered into force as planned on 1 November 2014. The damage to the Russian economy by eliminating import tariffs in Ukraine is estimated to amount to 2 billion dollars by the Russian side. On 1 September 2014, Russia had put forward a list of 2370 change requests concerning the consequences for the Russian-Ukrainian trade. Russia couldn't handle the EU's lower tariffs.

  11915.  @kongwee1978  From Nikkei How do Chinese loans compare with others? By 2020, Sri Lanka's inability to honor maturing external debts was looming. The International Monetary Fund put the island's foreign debt at $38.6 billion, or 47.6% of the central government's total debt. China's slice was 10%, as was Japan's, placing the leading bilateral lenders after the main foreign creditors, international sovereign bondholders and the Asian Development Bank. But the cost of borrowing from China set that debt apart. Numbers crunched by Verite Research, a Colombo-based think tank, show that the interest rates on Chinese loans averaged 3.3%, versus 0.7% for Japan's. And the maturity period averaged 18 years for Chinese debt, shorter than India's 24 years and Japan's 34 years. None of this hindered the Rajapaksas' appetite for Chinese credit, opening the door for the Asian powerhouse to fund over a third of 313 debt-funded projects in post-conflict Sri Lanka.

  11917.  @iceteazen  The Ten Great Campaigns (Chinese: 十全武功; pinyin: Shíquán Wǔgōng) were a series of military campaigns launched by the Qing dynasty of China in the mid–late 18th century during the reign of the Qianlong Emperor (r. 1735–1796). They included three to enlarge the area of Qing control in Inner Asia: two against the Dzungars (1755–1757) and the "pacification" of Xinjiang (1758–1759). The other seven campaigns were more in the nature of police actions on frontiers already established: two wars to suppress the Gyalrong of Jinchuan, Sichuan, another to suppress the Taiwanese Aboriginals (1787–88), and four expeditions abroad against the Burmese (1765–1769), the Vietnamese (1788–1789), and the Gurkhas on the border between Tibet and Nepal (1790–1792), with the last counting as two. Imperial China is an imperialist power that led to the engagement with European imperialist empires. President Xi's argument is based on historical Imperial China's Ten Great Campaigns (Chinese: 十全武功; pinyin: Shíquán Wǔgōng).

  11919.  @jliang70  Lowyinstitute's debunking-myth-china-s-debt-trap-diplomacy article didn't factor in Sri Lankan' new government is investigating a Chinese firm on suspicion of offering a bribe to Mahinda Rajapaksa'. History: In the mid-2000s, Colombo (the commercial capital of Sri Lanka) agreed to let Beijing build a new port from scratch in the town of Hambantota, in the south of the island. It wasn’t yet thought of as part of a new Silk Road -- that programme was conceptualizsed by Xi Jinping in 2012 -- but all the ingredients were there. "Chinese funds and engineers are mobilised to build infrastructure outside China, as part of a partnership that was meant to be win-win: this is the very definition of the rationale of the Silk Road," said Jean-François Dufour, economist and director of DCA China-Analysis. The Chinese president integrated the Sri Lankan project into his Silk Road initiative in 2013. But in 2015, financial clouds began gathering over the future of Hambantota’s port, which cost $1.1 billion. Sri Lanka was crumbling under the debt, and was unable to repay the more than $8 billion in loans it had taken from China for several infrastructure projects in the country. Furious, Beijing turned up the heat and threatened to cut off financial support to the island nation if it didn’t quickly find a solution. In December, 2017, after two years of negotiations, Colombo finally agreed to turn over the port to China for 99 years in exchange for the cancellation of its debt. The concession was humiliating for Sri Lanka, while "the opponents of China, like India, painted the entire operation as a deliberate plan to acquire strategic positions in the region," Dufour said. China was suspected of intentionally strangling Colombo with loans at a 6 percent interest rate, which was much higher than the other lenders - such as the World Bank – from which Colombo had previously borrowed.

  11920.  @jliang70  Did you assume I wasn't aware Lowy and specifically, the author of Debunking the myth of China’s “debt-trap diplomacy” article is Shahar Hameiri from the University of Queensland? Peter_Høj joined Hanban (Council of Confucius Institute Headquarter) as an unpaid senior consultant in 2013 and was later appointed a member of the governing council of Confucius Institute Headquarters in 2017. He stood down in late 2018 from his position due to legal advice surrounding his required signing of Australia's new Foreign Interference Transparency Scheme. Høj’s involvement with the Institute was seen as controversial after a Four Corners investigation by the ABC found that the Chinese government and the UQ Confucius Institute had co-funded four University of Queensland courses. Furthermore a separate investigation by Four Corner’s highlighted that the Confucius Institute had been involved with honorary staff appointments and curriculum development at the University of Queensland. In May 2019 the UQ senate ceased accepting funding from the Confucius Institute. When interviewed about the situation Høj explained, "having courses concerning China is totally appropriate". He further said "It's very appropriate for universities such as ours to educate our students about Chinese politics, Chinese economics because we live in a region where China will be the largest economy in the world very soon, the largest trading partner for Australia". When questioned on the institute's involvement he said,"Is it appropriate that a Confucius Institute devises courses? No, it's not, but they don't. They're not involved in the design of the course. They're not involved in the delivery.”. The investigation interviewed Ross Babbage, senior security adviser to the federal government, and Clive Hamilton, an academic who focuses primarily on the interference of the Chinese Communist Party at Australian universities, both suggested a review into the universities' relationship with the institute. Furthermore Høj, when asked if he was influenced by the Chinese Communist party during his time at the Confucius Institute, said, "I'm very confident that I haven't been influenced."[12]

SWIFT was founded in Brussels on 3 May 1973 under the leadership of its inaugural Swedish CEO, Carl Reuterskiöld (1973–1989), a former employee at Wallenberg-owned Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken, and was supported by 239 banks in 15 countries.[16] Before its establishment, international financial transactions were communicated over Telex, a public system involving manual writing and reading of messages.[17] It was set up out of fear of what might happen if a single private and fully American entity controlled global financial flows – which before was First National City Bank (FNCB) of New York – later Citibank. In response to FNCB's protocol, FNCB's competitors in the US and Europe pushed an alternative "messaging system that could replace the public providers and speed up the payment process".[18] SWIFT started to establish common standards for financial transactions and a shared data processing system and worldwide communications network designed by Logica and developed by the Burroughs Corporation.[19] Fundamental operating procedures and rules for liability were established in 1975, and the first message was sent in 1977. SWIFT's first international (non-European) operations centre was inaugurated by Governor John N. Dalton of Virginia in 1979.[20] You're narrative against SWIFT is a red herring. .

  11937.  @jliang70  The debt repudiation example On February 8, 1918, the Soviet government repudiated all bonds issued by the Tsarist government when the Soviet of People's Commissars of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (RSFSR) cancelled all previously issued Russian government debt. It stopped payment on foreign debt at the beginning of 1918 and declared that all debts contracted by the Russian Empire were cancelled, as well as the debts contracted by the Russian Provisional Government, so that the war could be continued from February to November 1917. At the same time, the Soviets decided to expropriate all assets of foreign nations in Russia. The Soviets also nationalized banks, lands, and industries. By repudiating the external debt, the Soviet government implemented the Petrograd Soviet’s decision of 1905.[4] During the Cold War, the west imposed trade sanctions against RSFSR's expropriations. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the newly formed Russian Federation had to not only come up with a new financial strategy for its future, but also had to consider repaying the billions of dollars the Soviet Union borrowed from abroad. In 1996, Paris and Moscow signed an accord for Russia to repay a nominal value of between $80 and $100 for each of the 4 million czarist bonds believed to remain in circulation in France, for a total payout of around $400 million.[6] Russia paid but not nearly as generously as the descendants of French bond buyers hoped.[7] You suck at history.

  11944. ​ @jliang70  Hambantota is home to Mahinda Rajapaksa, the sixth president of Sri Lanka, and his electoral district. When coming to power in November 2005, he wasted no time in launching several big-ticket infrastructure projects to revitalize the economy of his hometown. Hambantota Port, a project first mooted by his father, was one of them. Exim Bank of China eventually agreed to fund 85 percent of Hambantota Port’s Phase 1 construction costs after much negotiations. The 15-year commercial loan of $306 million carried an interest rate of 6.3 percent with a four-year moratorium. Construction work for Phase 1 of Hambantota Port, undertaken jointly by China Harbour Engineering Company (CMPH) and Sinohydro Corporation, commenced in January 2008. However, Hambantota Port was unable to generate sufficient revenue to meet its loan obligations due to inadequate governance, lack of commercial and industrial activities, as well as its inability to attract passerby vessels to dock at the port. By the end of 2016, it suffered a total loss of $304 million.

  11959.  @jliang70  From Iraq's 11,000-page report to the UN Security Council lists 150 foreign companies The five permanent members of the Security Council – the United States, Britain, Russia, France and China – have repeatedly opposed revealing the extent of foreign companies' involvement, although a mass of relevant information was collected by UN weapons inspectors who visited the country between 1991 and 1998. The UN claims that publishing the extent of the companies' involvement in Iraq would jeopardise necessary co-operation with such firms. German involvement outstripped that of all the other countries put together, the paper said. During the period to 1991, the German authoritiespermitted weapons co-operation with Iraq and in some cases "actively encouraged" it, according to the newspaper which cited German assistance allegedly given to Iraq for the development of poison gas used in the 1988 massacre of Kurds in northern Iraq. It said that after the massacre America reduced its military co-operation with Iraq but German firms continued their activities until the Gulf War. American weapons experts have recently voiced concern that the German Government has permitted Siemens to sell Baghdad at least eight sophisticated medical machines which contain devices that are vital for nuclear weapons. The machines, known as "lithotripters", use ultrasound to destroy kidney stones in patients. However, each machine contains an electronic switch that can be used as a detonator in an atomic bomb, according to US experts. Iraq was reported to have requested an extra 120 switches as "spare parts" during the initial transaction. The delivery of the machines was approved by the European Commission and the UN because sanctions against Iraq do not apply to medical equipment. Siemens and the German Government have insisted that the machines, which are being used in northern Iraq under a World Health Organisation programme, cannot be used to make nuclear weapons. ------ You're barking at the wrong tree.

For Mayflower, the Pilgrims chose to separate themselves from the Church of England, which forced them to pray in private. They believed that its resistance to reform and Roman Catholic past left it beyond redemption. Starting in 1608, a group of English families left England for the Netherlands, where they could worship freely. By 1620, the community determined to cross the Atlantic for America, which they considered a "new Promised Land", where they would establish Plymouth Colony. In modern times, replace the "Church of England" with another protected idealogy.

Forced technology transfer (FTT) is a practice in which a domestic government forces foreign businesses to share their tech in exchange for market access. The practice is common in China. When a company wants to enter the Chinese market, the Chinese government can compel the firm to share its technology with Chinese companies. PS; My company is involved in a specific industry search engine and document workflow management and it was forced out of China.

  12092. ​ @jin446  1. NZ's actions are irrelevant to Australia's self-interest. In terms of military hardware, NZ is weaker than the Philippines since NZ lacks a combat-capable fight aircraft fleet.

  12110.  @BENKYism  The U.S. Air Force's first two F-15EX Super Eagle fighters flew to Alaska to participate in the Northern Edge 21 wargame—to mixed results. During the joint multi-service exercise, the two planes flew 33 sorties (or dispatches), while paired up with a variety of active duty planes, including F-15C Eagles, F-16 Fighting Falcons, F-35 Joint Strike Fighters, and F-22 Raptors. Lt. Col. John O'Rear of the 84th Test and Evaluation Squadron told Air Force the F-15EX "tallied some kills," but also took some losses. O'Rear said the performance met expectations, as any simulated adversary worth practicing against would naturally be strong enough to inflict losses. The Super Eagle also features the Eagle Passive/Active Warning and Survivability System (EPAWSS), an electronic warfare system designed to automatically detect, classify, and then defeat airborne threats. EPAWSS is the first major upgrade to the F-15 series electronic warfare suite since the 1980s. The F-15EX's losses in Northern Edge 21 aren't surprising. The jet's main strengths are its radar and ability to carry a large weapons payload, including two dozen air-to-air missiles or hypersonic weapons. The Super Eagle's weakness is a lack of built-in stealth (like the F-35 and F-22), making it easier for adversaries to detect. -------------------- F-15EX does NOT replace NGAD, F-22A, and F-35A Block 3F.

  12129.  @gboete  Date: March 2017 Kurdistan’s Interior Minister said on Tuesday the Regional Government since its formation had demanded from the federal government to pay compensation to the families of Kurdish victims who suffered genocide, killing, and displacement from the former Iraqi regime. Rebar Ahmed stressed during the Parliament session that in 2014 “we decided to announce Halabja as a governorate,… but perhaps the big problem facing Halabja is that Iraq is not yet ready to recognize it as a governorate. Therefore, the federal government did not allocate a financial budget for it.” Ahmed continued that when the first Kurdish delegation went to Baghdad, it delivered the Prime Minister a request to compensate the victims of the people of Kurdistan with 380 billion dollars for the crimes committed by Saddam Hussein's regime in Halabja, Anfal and to Barzanis, Faili Kurds, and all victims of Baath crimes. The Halabja chemical attack, also known as the Halabja Massacre or Bloody Friday was a massacre of Kurdish people that took place on 16 March 1988, during the closing days of the Iran–Iraq War in the Kurdish city of Halabja in Iraqi Kurdistan. The attack was part of the Al-Anfal Campaign in Kurdistan, as well as part of the Iraqi Army's attempt to repel the Iranian Operation Zafar 7. It took place 48 hours after the capture of the town by the Iranian Army. A United Nations (UN) medical investigation concluded that mustard gas was used in the attack, along with unidentified nerve agents. The incident was the largest chemical weapons attack directed against a civilian-populated area in history, killing between 3,200 and 5,000 people and injuring 7,000 to 10,000 more, most of them civilians. Preliminary results from surveys of the affected region showed an increased rate of cancer and birth defects in the years afterward. The Halabja attack has been officially defined by the Supreme Iraqi Criminal Tribunal as a genocidal massacre against the Kurdish people in Iraq

  12139. @SonicPsyched The United States remained Europe’s top supplier of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in the first 3 months of 2021 as it continued to gain market share at the expense of Russia and Qatar, Europe’s second- and third-largest sources of LNG, according to the EU Commission’s latest European Gas Market Report. The US supplied 24% (4.2 Bcm) of the EU’s overall LNG imports (17 Bcm in Q1 2021); Russia placed second at 21% (3.7 Bcm); and Qatar was third at 18% (3.1 Bcm), the EU Commission reported in early July. When compared to Q4 2020, the US picked up 2% market share from January to March this year, while Russia bested Qatar to become Europe’s second-largest LNG supplier. Nigeria placed fourth, followed by Algeria and Trinidad and Tobago. A review of EU Commission reports dating back to 2019 reveals a steady quarter-to-quarter decline in Europe’s LNG purchases while it also documents the growing rivalry between the US and Russia, Qatar’s fall from dominance, and the emergence of the US as Europe’s top LNG supplier starting Q4 2019. The EU is the world’s third-largest LNG market, though its imports amounted to only about half that of Japan (36 Bcm) and China (32 Bcm) in Q1 2021. European gas consumption rose 7.6% to 132 Bcm in Q1 based on a year-on-year comparison. The commission noted that demand for gas as fuel to generate electricity rose 3.4%, also year-on-year (increasing by 4.9 TWh.)

  12141. @SonicPsyched Before Euromaidan, Russia, however, has successfully used political and economic leverage to dissuade Ukraine from signing the E.U. deal. In the months prior to the Vilnius summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin engaged in a trade war with Kiev, blocking nearly all imports from Ukraine and cutting energy supplies to the country. In turn, this reduced Ukrainian exports by 25 percent and shrank the economy by 1.5 percent. Russia started a series of events that lead to Euromaidan UK left the EU and joining CPTPP has proven freedom of association without a bloody war!

  12142. @SonicPsyched Both Putin and you don't know the real Nazism as per Hitler's Mein Kampf idealogy. Again, 1. 1863–1864 January uprising, Russian Empire crushed Polish, Lithuanian, and Ukrainian insurgents uprising. 2. Soviet–Ukrainian War occurred between 1917 to 1921, a war between the Ukrainian People's Republic vs the Bolsheviks i.e. Ukrainian Soviet Republic and Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (modern-day Russian Federation). 3. 2014, Russo-Ukrainian War. March 1, 2014, the Federation Council of the Russian Federation unanimously adopted a resolution to petition Russian President Vladimir Putin to use military force in Ukraine. These "old world" issues have existed before the NAZI government and Hilter's 1925 Mein Kampf. ALL countries have a level of nationalism, but both Putin and Hilter have expansionist nationalism. Putin's expansionist nationalism is active for the current human generation. >the US is going down, China won and you better get rid of your dollar nad invest in gold.

"90 tons of selective medical supplies… ready for the air transport direct from Sydney to Wuhan via corporate jet on Monday next week," said the company’s post. It's a Russian-style "little green" style operation. CCP back companies in Australia shipped medical supplies to China. It's a Russian-style "little green" style operation. Medical supplies are not Nike shoes or Apple iPhones.

  12182. South Korea previously flirted with the idea of developing nuclear weapons in the 1970s, when it ran a secret program. But when the United States found out, it issued an ultimatum. Seoul could carry on, or have the US defend it, with the full force of its existing nuclear arsenal. It picked US support, and to this day tens of thousands of US troops remain stationed on the Korean peninsula. Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum's security assurance is weaker with watered-down support requirements.

Replace Saturn V's Skylab with a Starship-like solution and LEO refueling. The basic idea with Space X's Starship is an evolved Saturn V-like rocket with reusability. Saturn V 1st stage = 7,891,000 lbf (35,100 kN) thrust Saturn V 2nd stage = 1,155,800 lbf (5,141 kN) thrust Space X Super Heavy 1st stage = 17,000,000 lbf (76,000 kN) thrust. Super Heavy booster is reusable. Starship as 2nd stage = 2,700,000 lbf (12,000 kN) thrust. Starship is refueled in LEO for trans-lunar injection. Starship is reusable. Luna Starship variant is to land on the moon. The Super Heavy booster and Starships are fully reusable, hence fulfilling Space Shuttle's original goals before USAF interfered with its design specs. Future Starship variants can be customized for specific missions. Saturn V design reference is a good place to start.

If the US exits from Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum, then Ukraine has the right to develop its WMDs to defend itself against land-grabbing Russian imperialists. Russia does not maintain Ukraine's territorial integrity. Allowing Russian-proven WMDs while disallowing Ukraine's ability to defend itself is the height of hypocrisy.

It is the eighth year the proposal has been knocked back, with China and Russia voting the proposal down on previous occasions. This caused Australia to enlist help from the EU while New Zealand enlist help from the US. Feelings are useless without firepower to back them.

  12243.  @chcheese8108  When the House Judiciary Committee held a hearing on social media censorship late last month, liberal Democratic congressman Ted Lieu transformed into a hardcore libertarian. “This is a stupid and ridiculous hearing,” he said, because “the First Amendment applies to the government, not private companies.” He added that just as the government cannot tell Fox News what content to air, “we can’t tell Facebook what content to filter,” because that would be unconstitutional. Lieu is incorrect. While the First Amendment generally does not apply to private companies, the Supreme Court has held it “does not disable the government from taking steps to ensure that private interests not restrict . . . the free flow of information and ideas.” But as Senator Ted Cruz points out, Congress actually has the power to deter political censorship by social media companies without using government coercion or taking action that would violate the First Amendment, in letter or spirit. Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act immunizes online platforms for their users’ defamatory, fraudulent, or otherwise unlawful content. Congress granted this extraordinary benefit to facilitate “forum[s] for a true diversity of political discourse.” This exemption from standard libel law is extremely valuable to the companies that enjoy its protection, such as Google, Facebook, and Twitter, but they only got it because it was assumed that they would operate as impartial, open channels of communication—not curators of acceptable opinion.

French and Japanese developed CHAdeMO. --- EU has CCS2. A major blow to the international adoption of CHAdeMO came in 2013 when the European Commission designated the German-led CharIN Combined Charging System (CCS) Combo 2 as the mandated plug for DC high-power charging in Europe. --- USMCA has a North American Charging Standard (NACS) as the SAE J3400 standard. After widespread industry adoption of the NACS by a large number of automotive manufacturers throughout 2023, the US government stated public support for the NACS standard in December 2023.

  12287. https://global.handelsblatt.com/politics/trump-may-point-eu-tariffs-ifo-says-899083 “The EU is by no means the paradise for free traders that it likes to think,” said Gabriel Felbermayr, director of the ifo Center for International Economics, a division of the Munich-based ifo Institute. The European Union actually comes off as the bigger offender when compared to the US, he added. The unweighted average EU customs duty is 5.2 percent, versus the US rate of 3.5 percent, according to ifo’s database. So when Mr. Trump complains of “massive tariffs” he is not that far off the mark in several cases. And he does complain. “If the EU wants to further increase their already massive tariffs and barriers on US companies doing business there, we will simply apply a tax on their cars, which freely pour into the US,” the president tweeted earlier this month. “They make it impossible for our cars (and more) to sell there. Big trade imbalance!” .... In fact it wasn’t even Mr. Trump who first broke off negotiations over a US-EU free trade deal known as the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), the German economist noted. It was actually the EU that put the unpopular talks “on ice” ahead of elections in France and Germany.

  12302.  @DrsharpRothstein  Additionally, there was a problem with the design of the front windshield. It cracked on both YF-23′s in flight. On PAV-1 at Mach 0.9 and on PAV-2 at Mach 1.5 another time it cracked while just sitting in the hanger. That may not seem like a big deal, but those were stealth designed cockpits. The glass was special ‘stealth’ glass and how it fit on the plane affected its radar cross section. Inventing a new type of glass or changing the entire cockpit design is a big deal. The F-22 fired a missile, made a 9G turn and was photographed at 60 degree Angle of Attack. By comparison, the YF-23 needed new windshields and couldn’t even hold a missile in it’s weapons bay. It wasn’t part of the ATF competition requirements, so the Northrop group didn’t bother. Designing a way to fire a weapon from a stealth aircraft that doesn’t ruin its radar evading profile presents a lot of problems. The Northrop group should have thought about this problem. The fact that they didn’t, just shows how far behind they were. One contender wasn’t just completing the tasks assigned, it was exceeding them. While the other contender was constantly breaking down.

  12349. Before Euromaidan, Russia started a trade war against Ukraine, forcing Yanukovych to sign a base rental extension agreement that breached Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17 disallows foreign military bases after 2017. Read the Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17 which disallows foreign military bases after 2017. CONSTITUTION OF UKRAINE Adopted at the Fifth Session of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on 28 June 1996 Article 17 The location of foreign military bases shall not be permitted on the territory of Ukraine. Yanukovych breached the Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17. After 2017, Ukraine's constitution is incompatible with foreign military bases hosting either NATO or CSTO. If Yanukovych didn't sign the military base rental extension, Russia would be kicked out of Crimea. Putin's narrative is FALSE. Putin's pressure caused Yanukovych to make a mistake. --- Remember, Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum exchanged Ukraine's nuclear WMD for security assurances from US, UK, and Russia. France and China signed a watered-down Budapest Memorandum. Budapest Memorandum requires Ukraine to join Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty as part of Ukraine's nuclear WMD disarmament. Tucker is ignorant of Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum.

Unless Australia gains Astute-class with Virginia class's VLS (vertical launch tubes), Australian SSN would be able to shadow escort an allied fleet, hunt enemy submarines, and launch a limited counter strike missiles via submarine-launched cruise missile (SLCM) torpedo tubes method. Australia's French design Attack class would NOT be able to shadow escort an allied fleet since it's too slow and has a short-battery range.

  12393.  @Nathan-ry3yu  A reminder for CCP, Australia has a very large supply of uranium. ------- From June 2020, Australian company Silex Systems (HQ in Sydney) has signed an agreement with the US Department of Energy (DOE) to allow it to process stockpiles of depleted nuclear fuels as part of its Paduach Project in Kentucky, USA. The Silex project involves the construction by GLE, a venture owned 51 percent by Silex and 49 percent by Cameco, of the Paducah Laser Enrichment Facility to process depleted uranium over a period of several decades. Production would begin in the late 2020s of around 2,000 tonnes of natural uranium hexafluoride per annum, the equivalent of a mine producing 5.2 million pounds of uranum oxide. This already enriched uranium would immediately give GLE capabilities in uranium production, as a uranium conversion supplier and enriched uranium supplier – three of the four production steps of the nuclear fuel cycle. Silex was formerly developing the project in association with GE and Hitachi, who exited the project allowing Cameco, one of the world’s largest listed uranium companies, to increase its holding. Silex is based at Lucas Heights in New South Wales, the site of Australia’s only nuclear reactor, and works closely with the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO).

US Congress's Taiwan Relation Act and Six Assurances countered President Richard Nixon's 1972 Shanghai Communiqué. US Congress's National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 reconfirmed the Taiwan Relations Act (TRA) and the Six Assurances as the foundation for US-Taiwan relations.

  12398. Australia doesn't have a defense treaty with Taiwan. Australia has a defense treaty with the US. US and Japan have a defense treaty. If Australia offers logistics support for the US, China will attack Australia. If Australian ships escort Australian loaded cargo ships to Japan in support of US/JP operations, China will attack Australia. If Australia enforces its own (trade) freedom of navigation with Japan during a conflict between US/JP vs CHina, China will attack Australia. The US is caught in a pickle i.e. It was the US that restricted Taiwan's nukes in exchange for military supply guarantees. It was the US that restricted Japan's nukes in exchange for security guarantees. Trump's solution is to allow these countries to be armed with their own nuke weapons and reduce the US's defense obligation. The Taiwan Relations Act does not guarantee the U.S. will intervene militarily if the PRC attacks or invades Taiwan nor does it relinquish it, as its primary purpose is to ensure the US's Taiwan policy will not be changed unilaterally by the president and ensure any decision to defend Taiwan will be made with the consent of Congress. The act states that "the United States will make available to Taiwan such defense articles and defense services in such quantity as may be necessary to enable Taiwan to maintain a sufficient self-defense capabilities". Reduced US defense obligation in the East Asian region yields Australia's reduced involvement in the East Asian region. If the US abandons Taiwan after the US restricted Taiwan's nuclear weapons, it signals the US allies to be armed with independent nuclear weapons and proves UK/France/Israel's independent nuclear weapons arguments. Again, Trump's solution is to allow the mentioned smaller countries to be armed with their own nuke weapons and reduce the US's defense obligation.

Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum exchanged Ukraine's nuclear weapons and join Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) for US/UK/Russia security assurances. Russia exited Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum. If the US fails Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum security assurances, then the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) will also fail for US allies who were researching nuclear weapons that were exchanged for US security guarantees. France's, the United Kingdom's, and Israel's independent nuclear weapons and long-range rockets are the results when the US withdraws its nuclear weapons shield (and allowed USSR nuclear strike) during the Suez Crisis. American isolationists should argue for US/UK exit from Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum (or any security assurances) and restore Ukraine's nuclear weapons!

Respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders. 2. Refrain from the threat or the use of force against Ukraine. 3. Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine to influence their politics. 4. Seek immediate Security Council action to provide assistance to Ukraine if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used". 5. Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against Ukraine. 6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments. China and France gave somewhat weaker individual assurances in separate documents. Russia has exited Budapest Memorandum. The US and UK are fulfilling points 4 and 6 in accordance with Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum. Budapest Memorandum's security assurances are weaker than NATO's Article V and EU's Article 42.7.

  12455.  @lilacer6841  FALSE. Before Euromaidan, Russia successfully used political and economic leverage to dissuade Ukraine from signing the E.U. deal. In the months prior to the Vilnius summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin engaged in a trade war with Kyiv, blocking nearly all imports from Ukraine and cutting energy supplies to the country. In turn, this reduced Ukrainian exports by 25 percent and shrank the economy by 1.5 percent. Ukraine Constitution 1991, Article 17, disallows foreign military bases after 2017. According to former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, Ukraine's constitution forbids the country from hosting foreign military bases after 2017. Yanukovych breached the Ukraine Constitution 1991, Article 17. After 2017, Ukraine's constitution is incompatible with foreign military bases hosting either NATO or CSTO. In 2018, President Petro Poroshenko's constitution amendment allowed temporary foreign military bases. If Yanukovych didn't sign the military base rental extension, Russia would be kicked out of Crimea.

The US supplied 24% (4.2 Bcm) of the EU’s overall LNG imports (17 Bcm in Q1 2021); Russia placed second at 21% (3.7 Bcm); and Qatar was third at 18% (3.1 Bcm), the EU Commission reported in early July. When compared to Q4 2020, the US picked up 2% market share from January to March this year, while Russia bested Qatar to become Europe’s second-largest LNG supplier. Nigeria placed fourth, followed by Algeria and Trinidad and Tobago. A review of EU Commission reports dating back to 2019 reveals a steady quarter-to-quarter decline in Europe’s LNG purchases while it also documents the growing rivalry between the US and Russia, Qatar’s fall from dominance, and the emergence of the US as Europe’s top LNG supplier starting Q4 2019. The EU is the world’s third-largest LNG market, though its imports amounted to only about half that of Japan (36 Bcm) and China (32 Bcm) in Q1 2021. European gas consumption rose 7.6% to 132 Bcm in Q1 based on a year-on-year comparison. The commission noted that demand for gas as fuel to generate electricity rose 3.4%, also year-on-year (increasing by 4.9 TWh.)

The Varangians are first mentioned imposing tribute from Slavic and Finnic tribes in 859.[63] In 862, the Finnic and Slavic tribes in the area of Novgorod rebelled against the Varangians, driving them "back beyond the sea and, refusing them further tribute, set out to govern themselves." In 880–82, Oleg led a military force south along the Dnieper river, capturing Smolensk and Lyubech before reaching Kiev, where he deposed and killed Askold and Dir, proclaimed himself prince, and declared Kiev the "mother of Rus' cities." Oleg set about consolidating his power over the surrounding region and the riverways north to Novgorod, imposing tribute on the East Slav tribes.

During World War II, the Soviet Union took parts of the Moldavian ASSR, which was dissolved, and of the Kingdom of Romania's Bessarabia to form the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic in 1940. The Moldavian SSR, organised by a decision of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR on 2 August 1940, was formed out of a part of Bessarabia (taken from Romania on 28 June, after the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact) and out of a part of the Moldavian ASSR roughly equivalent to present-day Transnistria. Transnistria was a product of NAZI-Germany's and USSR's Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact. Russia is actually supporting the NAZI-era Molotov–Ribbentrop pact

Imperial Japan is the entity that STARTED the "hot war" against the US. There will be no "NATO" in east Asia and southeast Asia due to many US-allied Asian countries having PTSD issues with Japan. I'm aware of the following 1. Russia has PTSD issues against Germany (WW1, WW2) and France (Napoleonic war). It's contradictory since Russia exports gas into Europe and Putin doesn't want Ukraine joining FTA (Free Trade Agreement) with the EU while trading with Russia. 2.

France's talk about EU Army amounts to Napoleonic vib has been rejected by most members of the Three Seas Initiative member countries. Emmanuel Macron hasn't learned the war of attrition requirements. Australia dumped Airbus Eurocopter due to spare parts issue with garbage European logistics. France runs out of bombs during Libya's adventure i.e. many EU countries runs out of bombs have resorted to using US's European ammo stockpiles.

The region soon came under the rule of the Bani Khalid Emirate in 1670 after the expulsion of the Ottomans from Eastern Arabia (Lahsa Eyalet) by Barrack bin Ghurayr, Emir of the Bani Khalid, who successfully besieged the Ottoman governor Umar Pasha who surrendered and gave up his rule as the fourth Ottoman governor of al-Hasa. In 1752, Kuwait became independent after an agreement between the Sheikh of Kuwait and the Emir of Bani Khalid in which Bani Khalid recognised Sabah I bin Jaber's independent rule over Kuwait and in exchange Kuwait would not ally itself or support the enemies of Bani Khalid or interfere in the internal affairs of Bani Khalid in any way.

CONSTITUTION OF UKRAINE Adopted at the Fifth Session of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on 28 June 1996 Article 17 The location of foreign military bases shall not be permitted on the territory of Ukraine. Yanukovych breached the Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17. After 2017, Ukraine's constitution is incompatible with foreign military bases hosting either NATO or CSTO. If Yanukovych didn't sign the military base rental extension, Russia would be kicked out of Crimea. Putin's narrative is FALSE. Putin's pressure caused Yanukovych to make a mistake.

  12618.  @-pw5bj  Before Euromaidan, Russia, however, has successfully used political and economic leverage to dissuade Ukraine from signing the E.U. deal. In the months prior to the Vilnius summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin engaged in a trade war with Kiev, blocking nearly all imports from Ukraine and cutting energy supplies to the country. In turn, this reduced Ukrainian exports by 25 percent and shrank the economy by 1.5 percent. Sergei Lavrov omitted the Russian pressure trigger towards Euromaidan. ------- Victoria Nuland herself doesn't have the power, but about 73% of the MPs—voted to "remove Viktor Yanukovych from the post of president of Ukraine" has the power. Don't assume Ukraine's president has absolute power when 73% of the MPs have voted to "remove Viktor Yanukovych from the post of president of Ukraine". ------ Ukraine Constitution 1991, Article 17, disallows foreign military bases after 2017. According to former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, Ukraine's constitution forbids the country from hosting foreign military bases after 2017. Yanukovych breached the Ukraine Constitution 1991, Article 17. In 2018, President Petro Poroshenko's constitution amendment allowed temporary foreign military bases. Yanukovych is stupid.

  12634.  @CTimmerman  Date: March 2017 Kurdistan’s Interior Minister said on Tuesday the Regional Government (since its formation) had demanded from the federal government to pay compensation to the families of Kurdish victims who suffered genocide, killing, and displacement from the former Iraqi regime. Rebar Ahmed stressed during the Parliament session that in 2014 “we decided to announce Halabja as a governorate,… but perhaps the big problem facing Halabja is that Iraq is not yet ready to recognize it as a governorate. Therefore, the federal government did not allocate a financial budget for it.” Ahmed continued that when the first Kurdish delegation went to Baghdad, it delivered the Prime Minister a request to compensate the victims of the people of Kurdistan with 380 billion dollars for the crimes committed by Saddam Hussein's regime in Halabja, Anfal and to Barzanis, Faili Kurds, and all victims of Baath crimes. The Halabja chemical attack, also known as the Halabja Massacre or Bloody Friday was a massacre of Kurdish people that took place on 16 March 1988, during the closing days of the Iran–Iraq War in the Kurdish city of Halabja in Iraqi Kurdistan. The attack was part of the Al-Anfal Campaign in Kurdistan, as well as part of the Iraqi Army's attempt to repel the Iranian Operation Zafar 7. It took place 48 hours after the capture of the town by the Iranian Army. A United Nations (UN) medical investigation concluded that mustard gas was used in the attack, along with unidentified nerve agents. The incident was the largest chemical weapons attack directed against a civilian-populated area in history, killing between 3,200 and 5,000 people and injuring 7,000 to 10,000 more, most of them civilians. Preliminary results from surveys of the affected region showed an increased rate of cancer and birth defects in the years afterward. The Halabja attack has been officially defined by the Supreme Iraqi Criminal Tribunal as a genocidal massacre against the Kurdish people in Iraq

  12647. Pershing's development was plagued with internal politics. The main cause of the delay in the production of the M26 was opposition to the tank from the Army Ground Forces, headed by General Lesley McNair. Lesley McNair was killed by friendly fire and opposition against the Pershing tank was removed. McNair, who was an artillery officer, had promulgated the "tank destroyer doctrine" in the U.S. Army. In this doctrine, tanks were primarily for infantry support and exploitation of breakthroughs. Those tactics dictated that enemy tanks were to be engaged by tank destroyer forces, which were composed of lightly armored but relatively fast vehicles carrying more powerful anti-tank guns, as well as towed versions of these anti-tank guns. Under the tank destroyer doctrine, emphasis was placed only on improving the firepower of the tank destroyers, as there was a strong bias against developing a heavy tank to take on enemy tanks. This also limited improvements in the firepower of the M4 Sherman. The US Army Ground Forces that supported this doctrine got the approval of new TD projects, one of them using the same 90 mm gun, while at the same time they were blocking tank projects.

  12652.  I M Lovely  The statement "Anglos caused most of the world's problems." is FALSE. You injected racism into Cameron's statement. Cameron's real statement is "Britain caused many of world’s problems" and the context is in Pakistan. The problems in Muslim majority Pakistan vs Hindu majority India have existed BEFORE the British East India Company's arrival. David Cameron's appeasement statement is wrong. Sheikhdom of Kuwait (before WW1) Kuwait was founded in 1613 AD as a fishing village known as Grane (Kureyn). The region soon came under the rule of the Bani Khalid Emirate in 1670 after the expulsion of the Ottomans from Eastern Arabia (Lahsa Eyalet) by Barrack bin Ghurayr, Emir of the Bani Khalid, who successfully besieged the Ottoman governor Umar Pasha who surrendered and gave up his rule as the fourth Ottoman governor of al-Hasa. In 1752, Kuwait became independent after an agreement between the Sheikh of Kuwait and the Emir of Bani Khalid in which Bani Khalid recognised Sabah I bin Jaber's independent rule over Kuwait and in exchange Kuwait would not ally itself or support the enemies of Bani Khalid or interfere in the internal affairs of Bani Khalid in any way. Report: Saudi Arabia Presses U.S. on Overthrowing Saddam Hussein Date: January 19, 1992 From AP NEWS NEW YORK (AP) _ Saudi Arabia is pressuring the Bush administration to secretly arm and give intelligence to Iraqi opposition forces so they can work to overthrow Saddam Hussein, a newspaper reported Sunday. The Saudis want the United States to give arms and intelligence to Kurdish rebels in north Iraq, Shiite Muslim fighters in the south and Sunni Muslim opposition forces in central Iraq, the Times said, quoting U.S. and allied officials it didn’t name.

  12655. As the CBS report showed, Palestinian Christians today have to speak out against “Israeli occupation,” because if they don’t, their silence will be perceived as pro-Israeli by the Muslims. Christian leaders don’t mention the fact that they have suffered the most from the mafia-style rule of Yasser Arafat’s kleptocracy, that slogans like “Islam will win” and “First the Saturday people then the Sunday People” have been painted on their churches, and that PLO flags were draped over crosses. After the 1948 war, Christian communities suffered most in the West Bank, not under “Israel’s occupation,” but because Muslim refugees were cynically settled in their midst by the Arab leadership. Ramallah was 90% Christian before the war, while Bethlehem was 80% Christian. By 1967, more than half of Bethlehem’s residents were Muslim, while Ramallah is a large Muslim city today. In a process of “Lebanonization,” Arafat changed Bethlehem’s demography by bringing in thousands of Muslims from refugee camps. Arafat then turned the city into a safe haven for suicide bombers and transformed the Greek Orthodox monastery, located next to the Church of Nativity, into his residence. Christian cemeteries and convents were desecrated and Christians became the PLO’s human shields. In the first year of the second Intifada, when Arafat’s terrorists ravaged Christian towns by gunfire and mortars, 1,640 Christians left Bethlehem and another 880 left Ramallah. In 2007, one year after Hamas’ Gaza takeover, the owner of the Strip’s only Christian bookstore was murdered. Christian shops and schools were firebombed. Ahmad El-Achwal is just one of the many Palestinians converted to Christianity killed by Islamic militants.

  12734.  @MickDavies  It's you who is missing the point when battery technology improves over time e.g. Tesla's incoming 4680 battery tech. Tesla rolled out hundreds if not thousands of small improvements today that bring step change improvements to the fundamental building block of Tesla’s business — the battery cell. 14% improvement in cost/kWh coming from the change in cell form factor. 18% improvement in cost/kWh as a result of the 10× manufacturing footprint reduction and 10× manufacturing energy consumption reduction. The new dry manufacturing process enables pressing the active battery powder material directly into a film. The new manufacturing process is based on Maxwell Technologies’ proprietary “proof of concept” process. Process is not at production scale yet, but there is a “clear path” to large scale production. 5% improvement in cost/kWh coming from the increase utilization of silicon in the battery cells. 12% reduction in cost/kWh coming from improvements in the cathode material. 7% improvement in battery pack cost per kWh as a result of Tesla’s new integrated vehicle design. Tesla redesigned its vehicles using new front and rear castings that integrate with the battery pack. To accomplish this, Tesla developed a completely new alloy to enable casting of some of the largest components in the automotive space. These bolt directly into a new “structural battery,” eliminating the need for redundant, parallel elements in Teslas. All told, Tesla’s redesign of the battery, cathode, and vehicle frame translate to an expected improvement of 56% in Tesla’s cost per kWh.

  12743.  @margaretcaine4219  You're incorrect. 1. KMT is overreaching its territorial claim since on the eve of the 1894 Sino-Japanese War, about 45 percent of the island was administered under the Manchus Qing administration (Imperial China) while the remaining land area was populated by Taiwanese aborigines. The U.S. position on Taiwan’s international status is “undetermined,” in accordance with the outcome of the 1951-52 San Francisco Peace Treaty. In that treaty, Japan had formally ceded sovereignty over the island, but it was not decided to whom. Most countries at the 1951 Peace Conference argued that Taiwan’s status needed to be determined in due time, in accordance with the principle of self-determination enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations. Post-WW2, Taiwan and the Pescadores islands are not handed to China, and KMT is a foreign government in exile under the American occupation of Japanese Taiwan islands. In Taiwan, the KMT government was politically defeated by partly aboriginal Taiwanese Tsai Ing-wen Democratic Progressive Party. On the eve of the 1894 Sino-Japanese War, about 45 percent of the island was administered under the Manchus Qing administration (Imperial China) while the remaining was populated by Taiwanese aborigines. Imperialist Manchus Qing's Imperial China didn't fully control Taiwan. 2. KMT was militarily defeated by CCP. KMT rejected CCP and it has runaway to "“undetermined" Formosa. 3. KMT was politically defeated by partly aboriginal Taiwanese Tsai Ing-wen Democratic Progressive Party.

At least four imperialist empires attempted to take over Formosa i.e. Spanish empire, the Portuguese empire, Imperial China (Manchus Qing), and Imperial Japan. Named Formosa by Portuguese explorers, the south of the island was colonized by the Dutch in the 17th century whilst the Spanish built a settlement in the north which lasted until 1642. These European settlements were followed by an influx of Hoklo and Hakka immigrants from Fujian and Guangdong across the Taiwan Strait.

  12748.  @stephenkolostyak4087  The legality and nature of its control of Taiwan, including the transfer of sovereignty is debated, with the United States and the United Kingdom saying there was no transfer of sovereignty (1,2) 1. The Cairo Declaration was merely a statement of intent. It did not constitute a cession of Taiwan territory to China (US Dept. of State, Jan. 6 - 13, 1951) 2. There was no transfer of the sovereignty of Taiwan to China in 1945. (UK government. February 7, 1955) On 26 October 1945, the government of the Republic of China declared that Taiwan had become a province of China. The Allied Powers, on the other hand, did not recognize the unilateral declaration of the annexation of Taiwan made by the government of the Republic of China. In 1949, after losing control of mainland China in the Chinese Civil War, the ROC government under the KMT withdrew to Taiwan where Chiang Kai-shek declared martial law. The US/UK tolerated KMT due to its alliance with ROC.

  12749.  @stephenkolostyak4087  Legality In accordance with the provisions of Article 2 of San Francisco Peace Treaty, the Japanese formally renounced the territorial sovereignty of Taiwan and Penghu islands, and the treaty was signed in 1951 and came into force in 1952. At the date when the San Francisco Peace Treaty came into force, the political status of Taiwan and Penghu Islands was still uncertain.[358] The Republic of China and Japan signed the Treaty of Taipei on April 28, 1952, and the treaty came into force on August 5, which is considered by some as giving a legal support to the Republic of China's claim to Taiwan as "de jure" territory. The treaty stipulates that all treaties, conventions, and agreements between China and Japan prior to 9 December 1941 were null and void, which according to Hungdah Chiu, abolishes the Treaty of Shimonoseki ceding Taiwan to Japan. The interpretation of Taiwan becoming the Republic of China's '"de jure" territory is supported by several Japanese court decisions such as the 1956 Japan v. Lai Chin Jung case, which stated that Taiwan and the Penghu islands came to belong to the ROC on the date the Treaty of Taipei came into force.[361] Nevertheless, the official position of the Government of Japan is that Japan did not in the Treaty of Taipei express that Taiwan and Penghu belong to the Republic of China,[364] that the Treaty of Taipei could not make any disposition which is in violation of Japan's renouncing Taiwan and Penghu in San Francisco Peace Treaty,[365] and that the status of Taiwan and Penghu remain to be determined by the Allied Powers in the future. Writing in the American Journal of International Law, professors Jonathan I. Charney and J. R. V. Prescott argued that "none of the post–World War II peace treaties explicitly ceded sovereignty over the covered territories to any specific state or government." The Cairo Conference from November 22–26, 1943 in Cairo, Egypt was held to address the Allied position against Japan during World War II, and to make decisions about postwar Asia. One of the three main clauses of the Cairo Declaration was that "all the territories Japan has stolen from the Chinese, such as Manchuria, Formosa, and The Pescadores, shall be restored to the Republic of China". According to Taiwan Civil Society quoting the Taiwan Documents Project, the document was merely a statement of intent or non-binding declaration, for possible reference used for those who would draft the post-war peace treaty and that as a press release it was without force of law to transfer sovereignty from Taiwan to the Republic of China. Additional rationale to support this claim is that the Act of Surrender, and SCAP General Order no. 1, authorized the surrender of Japanese forces, not Japanese territories. In 1952, Winston Churchill said that Taiwan was not under Chinese sovereignty and the Chinese Nationalists did not represent the Chinese state, but that Taiwan was entrusted to the Chinese Nationalists as a military occupation. Churchill called the Cairo Declaration outdated in 1955. The legality of the Cairo Declaration was not recognized by the deputy prime minister of the United Kingdom, Anthony Eden, in 1955, who said there was a difference of opinion on which Chinese authority to hand it over to. In 1954, the United States denied that the sovereignty of Taiwan and the Penghu islands had been settled by any treaties, although it acknowledged that the Republic of China effectively controlled Taiwan and Penghu. In the 1960 Sheng v. Rogers case, it was stated that, in the view of the U.S. State Department, no agreement has purported to transfer the sovereignty of Taiwan to the ROC, though it accepted the exercise of Chinese authority over Taiwan and recognized the Government of the Republic of China as the legal government of China at the time. According to Vincent Wei-Cheng Wang, a minority of scholars and politicians have argued that the international status of Taiwan is still undecided, and that this has been used as an argument against the People's Republic of China's claim over Taiwan. They point to President Truman's statement on the pending status of Taiwan in 1950, the lack of specificity on whom the title of Taiwan was transferred to in the 1951 San Francisco peace treaty, and the absence of explicit provisions on the return of Taiwan to China in the 1952 Treaty of Taipei. However Wang notes that this is a weak argument, citing 2 LASSA OPPENHEIMER, INTERNATIONAL LAW, under the principle of effective occupation and control, if nothing is stipulated on conquered territory in the peace treaty, the possessor may annex it. Still, the notion that a possessor may annex a conquered territory despite the peace treaty not stipulating so, was a means of territorial transfer recognized by classical international law, and its legality in recent years is either not recognized or disputed. According to Jian-De Shen, applying such a notion on the Republic of China's territorial claim for Taiwan is invalid because the conqueror of World War II is the whole body of the Allied Powers rather than the Republic of China alone.

  12752. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greensill_Capital Greensill Capital is another mismanaged company with a toxic debt chain. Exposure to GFG Alliance Until its insolvency, Greensill Capital, along with its German subsidiary Greensill Bank, had a significant exposure to GFG Alliance, a group of businesses associated with steel magnate Sanjeev Gupta. The exposure of Lex Greensill's firms to GFG Alliance totalled $5 billion.[26][27] Conversely, GFG Alliance depended heavily on financing by Greensill Capital to conduct its operations.[27] GFG Alliance relied especially on Greensill Capital's future accounts receivables finance program.[27][21] According to the Financial Times, defaults by GFG Alliance are partly responsible for Greensill Capital's ultimate insolvency.[28] On March 8, 2021, Bloomberg reported that GFG Alliance believed it would become insolvent if Greensill collapsed and had defaulted on some of its bonds.[29] In 2020, the German financial regulator BaFin opened an investigation into Greensill Bank's accounting. In March 2021, BaFin filed a criminal complaint against Greensill Bank and banned activity at the bank.[30][31][32] Insolvency In July 2020, a group of insurers led by Tokio Marine, which were insuring $4.6 billion of its working capital, announced to Greensill that it would stop providing the coverage.[19][33] The decision came after Tokio Marine discovered that an employee at one of its subsidiaries had provided coverage that exceeded its risk limits. Greensill tried to obtain an extension of the coverage, including by taking legal action against the insurers, but was ultimately unsuccessful.[33][21] After this failure, Greensill attempted to secure insurance from other firms, but did not succeed.[6] On March 1, 2021, Credit Suisse froze $10 billion in funds that were invested in Greensill's financial products and held by its supply-chain investment funds.[14][34] According to the Financial Times, "Credit Suisse’s concerns about the funds came to a head because insurance policies covering defaults in a portion of its assets lapsed over the weekend."[34] According to the Wall Street Journal, Credit Suisse was also concerned with Greensill's large exposure to companies tied to steel magnate Sanjeev Gupta.[14] In March 2021, Greensill considered filing for insolvency after the Credit Suisse freeze.[35] On March 1, 2021 The Wall Street Journal reported that Greensill appointed Grant Thornton to help it during a possible restructuring or insolvency filing which was expected to happen within a few days.[14] On March 2, Greensill Capital announced that it was considering selling the operating part of its business, according to a report by Bloomberg News, to Apollo Global Management or an associated firm, Athene Holdings. Greensill Capital stated the firms had a "period of exclusivity with a leading global financial institution with a view to concluding a transaction with them this week," regarding the sale.[36] On March 12th, it was announced that the deal with Athene had fallen through.[37] The deal collapsed in part due to the low value of Greensill's assets, which were further reduced by the preservation of technology firm Taulia, through a partnership between Taulia, JPMorgan Chase, and other banks.[38][39] Taulia facilitates lending from several finance companies to clients, but counted Greensill as a major source of business. With Greensill's role as a lender through Taulia taken over by JPMorgan, Athene had fewer reasons to acquire Greensill's book of business. On March 8, 2021, Greensill filed for insolvency protection, as it found itself unable to repay a $140 million loan to Credit Suisse and was "hit by defaults" from Sanjeev Gupta's GFG Alliance, one of its main customers.[2][28] Lawsuits and repercussions On March 15, 2021, Bluestone Resources Inc., a coal mining company owned by West Virginia governor Jim Justice, sued Greensill for fraud. It alleges that Greensill departed from standard supply chain finance to engage in a more speculative practice, offering loans not only based on debts that other companies had already incurred, but also based on transactions that Greensill predicted would occur in the future.[40][41] A number of German towns and cities pulled their money from small, private banks after losing millions of euros in the closure of Greensill.[42]

RCS testing showed that a hypothetical Ho 229 approaching the English coast from France flying at 885 kilometres per hour (550 mph) at 15–30 metres (49–98 ft) above the water would have been visible to CH radar at a distance of 80% that of a Bf 109. This implies a frontal RCS of only 40% that of a Bf 109 at the Chain Home frequencies. The most visible parts of the aircraft were the jet inlets and the cockpit, but caused no return through smaller dimensions than the roughly ten-meter CH wavelength. HO 229 is a bullshit stealth.

Without NATO (and the U.S.), Germany would have done it alone and we would have another WW1 trigger i.e. Russia would have declared war against Germany as in WWI. Germany used NATO with North America's raw material security guarantees to further its own interest when it failed in WW1's goals. In one moment in time, Germany was leading NATO to wreaked Yugoslavia and has fulfilled its WW1 goals.

Respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders. 2. Refrain from the threat or the use of force against Ukraine. 3. Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine to influence their politics. 4. Seek immediate Security Council action to provide assistance to Ukraine if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used". 5. Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against Ukraine. 6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments. China and France gave somewhat weaker individual assurances in separate documents. Russia has exited Budapest Memorandum. The US and UK are fulfilling points 4 and 6 in accordance with Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum. Budapest Memorandum's security assurances are weaker than NATO's Article V and EU's Article 42.7.

Indonesia has reacted with anger after Chinese fishing boats protected by coast guard warships forced their way into its territorial waters. Jakarta has mobilised its military and raised its combat alert status in the Natuna archipelago in response to the incursions which began late last year. “Our Navy and air force are armed and have been deployed to the North Natuna Sea,” military spokesman Major General Sisriadi said at the weekend. This includes six warships intended to “drive out the foreign vessels”. “We are not only deploying ships, but also fighter jets. We are on full alert,” Sisriadi said. The Natuna archipelago occupies a particularly strategic spot in the South China Sea. Its waters contain significant oil and gas reserves. But it also sits astride arterial shipping lanes passing through the narrow Malacca Strait.

EU funded a new gas pipeline from Norway to Poland via Denmark i.e. Baltic Pipe Project. The Baltic Pipe Project will allow the transport of gas from Norway to the Danish and Polish markets, as well as to end-users in neighboring countries. Blame Denmark's green policies for delaying this pipeline. A new gas pipeline from Poland to Baltic countries i.e. Gas Interconnection Poland–Lithuania (GIPL). The link can transport about 2 billion cubic metres per annum of gas from Poland to Lithuania and onwards to Latvia and Estonia. Spain is not dependent on Russian gas since the majority of its gas supplies are from Algeria and Morocco via the Maghreb-Europe gas pipeline (MGE). The UK is not dependent on Russian natural gas, making up less than 4% of the supply. EU funded Croatia's new LNG terminals for Australian and Qatari LNG shipments. Croatia's new LNG terminals are located near Bulgaria and Romania. Croatia's new LNG terminals enable better access for LNG shipments from countries like Qatari and Australian LNG for EU's southeast members.

  12838.  @tonyatgoogle6076  Don't stereotype NATO. The United States remained Europe’s top supplier of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in the first 3 months of 2021 as it continued to gain market share at the expense of Russia and Qatar, Europe’s second- and third-largest sources of LNG, according to the EU Commission’s latest European Gas Market Report. The US supplied 24% (4.2 Bcm) of the EU’s overall LNG imports (17 Bcm in Q1 2021); Russia placed second at 21% (3.7 Bcm); and Qatar was third at 18% (3.1 Bcm), the EU Commission reported in early July. When compared to Q4 2020, the US picked up 2% market share from January to March this year, while Russia bested Qatar to become Europe’s second-largest LNG supplier. Nigeria placed fourth, followed by Algeria and Trinidad and Tobago. A review of EU Commission reports dating back to 2019 reveals a steady quarter-to-quarter decline in Europe’s LNG purchases while it also documents the growing rivalry between the US and Russia, Qatar’s fall from dominance, and the emergence of the US as Europe’s top LNG supplier starting Q4 2019. The EU is the world’s third-largest LNG market, though its imports amounted to only about half that of Japan (36 Bcm) and China (32 Bcm) in Q1 2021. European gas consumption rose 7.6% to 132 Bcm in Q1 based on a year-on-year comparison. The commission noted that demand for gas as fuel to generate electricity rose 3.4%, also year-on-year (increasing by 4.9 TWh.)

CONSTITUTION OF UKRAINE Adopted at the Fifth Session of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on 28 June 1996 Article 17 The location of foreign military bases shall not be permitted on the territory of Ukraine. Yanukovych breached the Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17. After 2017, Ukraine's constitution is incompatible with foreign military bases hosting either NATO or CSTO. If Yanukovych didn't sign the military base rental extension, Russia would be kicked out of Crimea. Putin's narrative is FALSE. Putin's pressure caused Yanukovych to make a mistake.

US Navy has its own design requirements and the following examples debunk your argument. 1. Common F-111 design failure. USN canceled its F-111B. 2. Original common JSF design failure that led to 20%-to-30% commonality between USAF, USMC, and USN variants. F-35C has a different wing and tail design from USAF F-35A. F-35C should be renamed into F-36 since it doesn't share a common wing and tail design with F-35A. High salt issues have led to different issues for RAM coating. Against, you don't understand applied material science issues. 3. The difference between USAF's YF-17 and USN F/A-18 shows the navy''s different design requirements. Your Obama argument hides the applied material issues for F-22A and B-2.

  12891.  @jfangm  >The F-111, like the F-35, was a boondoggle from the start. General Dynamics, like Lockheed-Martin, was inexperienced with designing naval aircraft. McDonnell Douglas/General Dynamics fcked up US Navy's F-117A like solution i.e. A-12 Avenger II. No working prototype was produced from the McDonnell Douglas A-12 Avenger II project. General Dynamics sold their tactical fighter division to Lockheed. McDonnell Douglas lacks experience with stealth. General Dynamics lacks experience with stealth. YF-23 design is a partnership between Northrop and McDonnell Douglas. Lockheed Martin produced and delivered F-117A for USAF. USN's 1st stealth fighter is the F-35C with its own wing and tail design. F-35C is superior when compared to McDonnell Douglas' A-12 Avenger II. McDonnell Douglas F-15's high AoA test has resulted in crashed outcomes. Old F-15's high angle of attack test resulted in two crashes and subsequently disabled the high alpha feature until F-15 Advance models e.g. F-15SA or F-15EX. McDonnell Douglas F-15A has premature fatigue issues. Entire USAF F-15A models are in the boneyard. Boeing bought the McDonnell Douglas for $14 billion, and the McDonnell Douglas-dominated design team has designed the inferior X-32. Like YF-23, the McDonnell Douglas-dominated design team for X-32 has pushed Pelikan tail design, again. X-32's design failure nearly duplicated McDonnell Douglas A-12 Avenger II's failure.

  12894.  @jfangm  1. B-21's applied material improvements DID NOT exist during ATB and ATF programs. Time machine doesn't exist. 2. Total war situation requires war of attrition e.g. the lessons from many T-34/M4 tanks beatng resource extensive Tiger tanks with fewer numbers. The official ATF program targeted F-15 replacement, not F-16. USAF has high/low mix fleet doctrine. F-35A requires less material resource when compare to larger F-23 sized fighter with two engines. Titanium supply is an issue for the US. Both F-16 and F-35 are designed for total war war of attrition. F-16 and F-15 shares the common PW or GE F-1XX engine designs. F-117A shares GE F-404 engnes (missing afterburner feature) from the US Navy's Hornet and USAF's T-7 programs. USAF's T-7 "baby Hornet" has a single GE F404 engine design and it's a low material cost fighter. You failed material logistics.

  12895.  @jfangm  1. FACT: ATF program is over and YF-23 is dead. The ATF program that replaces the cheapo F-16 is fiction. For a given engine design, F-15 has a higher material cost when compared to the F-16. F-23 will not replace the cheapo F-16. F-15's dual engines consume twice the material cost when compared to F-16's single engine. Titanium, platinum, rare earth mining output, and jet engine factory have output limits. 2. The current Ukraine conflict is still a numbers game (e.g. sending many anti-tank missiles to Ukraine). Russia hasn't executed general mobilization. Russia didn't replace the cheapo single-engine powered MiG 21 until the single-engine powered Sukhoi Su-75 Checkmate is fielded in the future. China already has a single WS-10B engine powered J-10C for the war of attrition cannon fodder. Per unit flyaway cost, F-15EX already costs more than F-35A Lot 14.

  12897.  @jfangm  During F-111 and F-4 programs, there was a poltcial decision to combine programs for USAF and USN. YF-108 inceptor was canceled and USAF has to make do with the F-4 Phantom II from the Navy. Blame Robert McNamara for this. The U.S. Air Force and Navy were both seeking new aircraft when Robert McNamara was appointed Secretary of Defense in January 1961. The aircraft sought by the two armed services shared the need to carry heavy armament and fuel loads, feature high supersonic speed, twin engines, and two seats, and probably use variable geometry wings. On 14 February 1961, McNamara formally directed the services to study the development of a single aircraft that would satisfy both requirements. Early studies indicated that the best option was to base the design on the Air Force requirement, and use a modified version for the Navy. In June 1961, Secretary McNamara ordered the go-ahead of Tactical Fighter Experimental (TFX), despite Air Force and Navy efforts to keep their programs separate. The Air Force wanted a tandem-seat aircraft for low-level penetration ground-attack, while the Navy wanted a shorter, high altitude interceptor with side-by-side seating to allow the pilot and radar operator to share the radar display.

  12898.  @jfangm  >The F-35 is also smaller and lighter F-35C has low wing loading like F-22A and F-15C. F-35C has about 79% of F-22A's wing area. F-35C has about 79% of F-22A's empty weight. F-35C has 58% of F-22A's engine thrust. USN is funding engine upgrades for F-35C since it's underpowered for its wing area. US Navy managed to spec'ed a low wing load design within the JSF program. Meanwhile, F-35A has a 1.5X scale design rule for empty weight, wing area, and engine thrust from F-16C Block 50. F-35C should have been F-36 since it doesn't share wing and tail designs with F-35A. >And I wouldn't bring up the F-35, considering it can't even outfly the F-16 That's FALSE. Quoting Out Of The Shadows: RNLAF experiences with the F-35A - Combat Aircraft Magazine May 2018 specifically against David Axe's report Knight divulged a little more information about flying basic fighter manoeuvres (BFM) in an F-35. 'When our envelope was cleared to practise BFM we got the opportunity to fight some fourth-generation fighters. Remember, back the rumors were that the F-35 was a pig. The first time the opponents showed up [in the training area] they had wing tanks along with a bunch of missiles. I guess they figured that being in a dirty configuration wouldn't really matter and that they would still easily outmanoeuvre us. By the end of the week, though, they had dropped their wing tanks, transitioned to a single centerline fuel tank and were still doing everything they could not to get gunned by us. A week later they stripped the jets clean of all external stores, which made the BFM fights interesting, to say the least 1. Lightest empty weight F-16A MLU air-superiority model needs to be clean (no external weapons, no external tanks) to make visual range dogfight interesting against combat loaded F-35A Block 3F. 2. Dutch has acknowledged early F-35 Block builds being beaten by F-16s with external fuel tanks which are NOT applicable for F-35A Block 3F build. Don't use Block 2A/2B/3i numbers!

  12899.  @jfangm  >And I wouldn't bring up the F-35, considering it can't even outfly the F-16 Basic wing loading without body and vortex lift. F-35A Empty weight: 29,300 lb Wing area: 460 ft² Wing loading: 63.04 lbs/ sq feet. F-16C Block 52 Wing area: 300 ft² Empty weight: 18,900 lb Wing loading: 63 lbs/ sq feet. F-35A's empty weight is 1.54X scaled from F-16C. F-35A's wing area is 1.53X scaled from F-16C. F-35A's 43,000 lbf thrust is 1.50X scaled from F-16C's 28,600 lbf. F-35A's 45,000 lbf thrust upgrade road map is 1.57X scaled from F-16C's 28,600 lbf. F-35A needs at least 44,330 lbs thrust to preserve 1.55X scale factor. The engine upgrade is funded and it's on the road map. There's a near straight 1.5X scaling between F16C to F-35A on basic wing loading, engine thrust, and empty weight. F-35A's wing area is influenced by weight growth and F-16C's empty-weight wing loading target.

This is why Elon Musk hates MBAs. > It should have been developed as the Navy version and lightened into the Air Force model. That's a flawed argument when the Navy version has other design requirements e.g. high lift feature at slow speeds. Hornet's less swept-wing design provides higher lift at a slower speed at expense of acceleration, hence the reason for YF-17 and the resulting F/A-18A was suitable for the navy usage. F-14 has a less swept-wing mode that provides higher lift at slow speeds with extra complexity from variable wing design i.e. F-14 is limited by 7.3G. F-35C has a different wing design from the F-35A model due to the US Navy's different requirements. -------- In terms of aerodynamic performance, the F-35 is an excellent machine, Beesley said. Having previously been only the second man ever to have flown the F-22 Raptor, Beesley became the first pilot ever to fly the F-35 in late 2006. As such, Beesley is intimately familiar with both programs. According to Beesley, the four current test pilots for F-35 have been most impressed by the aircraft's thrust and acceleration. In the subsonic flight regime, the F-35 very nearly matches the performance of its' larger, more powerful cousin, the F-22 Raptor, Beesley explained. The "subsonic acceleration is about as good as a clean Block 50 F-16 or a Raptor- which is about as good as you can get." Beesley said. --------- F-35A Block 3F will beat Eurofighter in acceleration.

From McDonnell-Douglas/Northrop-Grumman/BAe JAST submission was to use a gas-driven lift fan instead of the mechanically-driven one that Lockheed-Martin used. When that didn't work out, McDD went with a lift engine and that broke the terms of the competition and they were eliminated. Lockheed's shaft-driven lift fan with cool air flow avoids hot air ingestion issues.

  12905.  @jfangm  > It isn't fast enough or agile enough to replace it as a fighter From USAF, F-35A has "Speed (full internal weapons load) Mach 1.6 (~1,200 mph)" . Mach number is not constant. Refer to I.C.A.O. Standard Atmosphere table. At 5,000 ft, 650.3 knots = 748.35 Mph Altitude (relates to air density) vs speed of sound example sea level = 761 MPH 10000 feet = 734 MPH 20000 feet = 701 MPH 30000 feet = 678 MPH 40000 feet = 660 MPH 50000 feet = 660 MPH NASA's F/A-18 with 1190 Mph with mach 1.8 yields 661.11 Mph speed of sound. F-35C Block 3i flies like a Super Hornet statement from USN https://youtu.be/Vxe4Jv1cJxI?t=508 F-16 vs F-35 from Norwegian pilot.

F-35A has a higher mach 1.2 supercruise (MIL power) when compared to F-15E's mach 1.1 supercruise. Higher speeds have higher IR signatures due to higher air fiction.

Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine to influence their politics. 4. Seek immediate Security Council action to provide assistance to Ukraine if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used". 5.

Marxist Salvador Allende clashed with the right-wing parties that controlled Congress and with the judiciary. On 11 September 1973, the military moved to oust Allende in a coup d'état. Marxist Salvador Allende's presidential branch effectively declared war on the judiciary and right-wing majority governed Congress branches. During the 1970 Chilean presidential election, both the United States and the Soviet Union poured money into this election through their intelligence agencies and other sources. 💰KGB money was more precisely targeted. Allende made a personal request for Soviet money through his personal contact, KGB officer Svyatoslav Kuznetsov, who urgently came to Chile from Mexico City to help Allende. The original allocation of money for these elections through the KGB was $400,000, and an additional personal subsidy of $50,000 directly to Allende.[8] It is believed that help from KGB was a decisive factor, because Allende won by a narrow margin of 39,000 votes of a total of the 3 million cast. After the elections, the KGB director Yuri Andropov obtained permission for additional money and other resources from the Central Committee of the CPSU to ensure Allende victory in Congress. In his request on 24 October, he stated that KGB "will carry out measures designed to promote the consolidation of Allende's victory and his election to the post of President of the country".[8] You're a hypocrite.

  12973. Note why France, the UK, and Israel have their own nuclear weapons mostly due to the 1956 Suez Canal crisis when the USSR threatened to nuke the UK, France, and Israel while the US withdrew its nuclear weapons coverage for the UK and France. The US withdrew its nuclear weapons insurance coverage when the USSR threatened to nuke the UK, France, and Israel during the 1956 Suez Canal crisis. I dislike insurance vendors who offer insurance and run away from it when the insured party has the intention to use it. DON'T make fuking promised paper security assurances in exchange for removing nuclear weapon armament if the US can't back it up.

Even after the law is applied, Facebook will have a further two months to negotiate deals on its terms and will only be forced into arbitration - which would set a fixed price for news content - 'as a last resort'.

  12982.  @nelsonmendes7551  From ABC's gas-belongs-to-us-say-former-western-australian-premiers To former Western Australian premier Colin Barnett, the reaction at international meetings first came as something of a surprise. But pretty soon he began to expect it. After a while, he could even see the dark humour involved. "During my travels as premier I had governments internationally — and I'm talking about national governments — just basically laughing … that Australia is crazy not preserving some of its gas," Mr Barnett said. "They weren't laughing at me," he said of WA's quite singular Australian state policy of quarantining 15 percent of gas for its own market. It is a stance that saw WA labelled hillbilly by the east coast press, and saw another WA premier labelled "a wrecker" by former Liberal minister Ian Macfarlane — now chief executive of the Queensland Resources Council — at energy forums. Mr Barnett, who served as a Liberal premier between 2008 and 2017, cast his mind back to the discussions with global leaders as debate raged this week about Australia's lack of gas security. He was joined by the architect of WA's domestic gas reservation policy, former Labor premier Alan Carpenter, in a display of political unity between the two former rivals.

But he argued those mistakes had been made worse by a series of blunders in energy policy in subsequent years. "I argued with the then federal minister Ian Macfarlane and the Labor spokesman, who I think was Martin Ferguson, that they needed to put in place a gas reservation policy or they would face critical problems in future years," he said. "Ian Macfarlane just condemned me up hill and down dale. "In international oil and gas conferences he said I was a wrecker. "He was supported by the mainstream media who said this was a hillbilly policy which would destroy the economy. "Now, 16 years later, we see what the reality is. "WA has got good, reliable sources of gas for its economy and the rest of Australia hasn't."

The region soon came under the rule of the Bani Khalid Emirate in 1670 after the expulsion of the Ottomans from Eastern Arabia (Lahsa Eyalet) by Barrack bin Ghurayr, Emir of the Bani Khalid, who successfully besieged the Ottoman governor Umar Pasha who surrendered and gave up his rule as the fourth Ottoman governor of al-Hasa. In 1752, Kuwait became independent after an agreement between the Sheikh of Kuwait and the Emir of Bani Khalid in which Bani Khalid recognised Sabah I bin Jaber's independent rule over Kuwait and in exchange Kuwait would not ally itself or support the enemies of Bani Khalid or interfere in the internal affairs of Bani Khalid in any way. -------- Report: Saudi Arabia Presses U.S. on Overthrowing Saddam Hussein Date: January 19, 1992 From AP NEWS NEW YORK (AP) _ Saudi Arabia is pressuring the Bush administration to secretly arm and give intelligence to Iraqi opposition forces so they can work to overthrow Saddam Hussein, a newspaper reported Sunday.

Rebar Ahmed stressed during the Parliament session that in 2014 “we decided to announce Halabja as a governorate,… but perhaps the big problem facing Halabja is that Iraq is not yet ready to recognize it as a governorate. Therefore, the federal government did not allocate a financial budget for it.” Ahmed continued that when the first Kurdish delegation went to Baghdad, it delivered the Prime Minister a request to compensate the victims of the people of Kurdistan with 380 billion dollars for the crimes committed by Saddam Hussein's regime in Halabja, Anfal and to Barzanis, Faili Kurds, and all victims of Baath crimes. The Halabja chemical attack, also known as the Halabja Massacre or Bloody Friday was a massacre of Kurdish people that took place on 16 March 1988, during the closing days of the Iran–Iraq War in the Kurdish city of Halabja in Iraqi Kurdistan. The attack was part of the Al-Anfal Campaign in Kurdistan, as well as part of the Iraqi Army's attempt to repel the Iranian Operation Zafar 7. It took place 48 hours after the capture of the town by the Iranian Army. A United Nations (UN) medical investigation concluded that mustard gas was used in the attack, along with unidentified nerve agents. The incident was the largest chemical weapons attack directed against a civilian-populated area in history, killing between 3,200 and 5,000 people and injuring 7,000 to 10,000 more, most of them civilians. Preliminary results from surveys of the affected region showed an increased rate of cancer and birth defects in the years afterward. The Halabja attack has been officially defined by the Supreme Iraqi Criminal Tribunal as a genocidal massacre against the Kurdish people in Iraq

NATO Article 6 states that the treaty covers only member states' territories in Europe and North America, Turkey and islands in the North Atlantic north of the Tropic of Cancer, plus French Algeria. It was the opinion in August 1965 of the US State Department, the US Defense Department and the legal division of NATO that an attack on the U.S. state of Hawaii would not trigger the treaty, but an attack on the other 49 would.[72] The Spanish cities of Ceuta and Melilla on the North African shore are thus not under NATO protection in spite of Moroccan claims to them. Legal experts have interpreted that other articles could cover the Spanish North African cities but this take has not been tested in practice.[73] This is also why events such as the Balyun airstrikes did not trigger Article 5, as the Turkish troops that were attacked were in Syria, not Turkey.[74]

As for Russia's motive to destroy the pipeline: Russia stopped supplying gas via NS due to political reasons (Putin's decision). And Russia was sued for this breach of contracts. Blowing up NordStream can be a way to avoid paying huge fines. Only 2 tubes were ever used, and now 1 is available. If the US wanted to shut down gas, why did they leave 1 tube intact?

    1
  13040.  @johntowers1213  Context: six factors that caused Russian gas flows to decline in 2021 and 2022 1. Gazprom did not replenish its downstream European storage stocks (summer 2021) 2. Gazprom ceased selling spot volumes into the European market (winter 2021/22) 3. The demand for payment in roubles and related contract terminations (March to May 2022) 4. Russian sanctions against the Yamal-Europe pipeline (May 2022) 5. Capacity for gas transit via Ukraine effectively reduced (May 2022) 6. The reduction of Nord Stream capacity (June and July 2022) ------------------------ Russia’s only other operational pipeline route to Europe in mid-July was the Turkish Stream pipeline onward connections for the supply of Russian gas to Greece, North Macedonia, Serbia, and Hungary.
    1
  13041.  @johntowers1213  The restart of Nord Stream, and its subsequent decline to flows of 30-32 MMcm/d, meant that flows via Nord Stream in late July were lower than via Ukraine (around 37 MMcm/d since 1 June) and also lower than flows via Turkish Stream at the Turkey-Bulgaria border (42-43 MMcm/d since 12 July). With flows to Latvia of around 7-8 MMcm/d, this suggests that, from 27 July, total Russian pipeline gas flows to Europe (excluding Turkey) were around 117-118 MMcm/d. Of this volume, Nord Stream accounted for 26 per cent.48 With the flow to Latvia halted, the total volume delivered by pipeline from Russia to Europe on 31 July was 109 MMcm, of which 30 MMcm was delivered via Nord Stream, 37 MMcm via Velké Kapušany on the Ukraine-Slovakia border, and 42 MMcm via Turkish Stream on the TurkeyBulgaria border.49 A key conclusion to be drawn at this point is that the decline in flows via Nord Stream cannot be seen in isolation. It is part of a broader decline in the physical flow of Russian pipeline gas to north-western and central Europe. With the Yamal-Europe pipeline closed and transit via Ukraine seemingly capped at 77 MMcm/d, the operation of Nord Stream at a reduced capacity of 33 MMcm/d means that the flow of Russian gas to north-western and central Europe is effectively capped at 110 MMcm/d. This is far below the 255 MMcm/d that was delivered via Nord Stream, via Yamal-Europe (at Mallnow), and via Ukraine (at Uzhhorod/Velké Kapušany, net of reverse flows at Budince) in Q4-2021.50 If the Nord Stream capacity is not raised before the end of summer, this paints a concerning picture for Russian gas supply to north-western and central Europe in the coming winter, as it foreshadows a significant year-on-year decline in Q4-2022 ----- Fukcoff clown.

CONSTITUTION OF UKRAINE Adopted at the Fifth Session of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on 28 June 1996 Article 17 The location of foreign military bases shall not be permitted on the territory of Ukraine. Yanukovych breached the Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17. After 2017, Ukraine's constitution is incompatible with foreign military bases hosting either NATO or CSTO. If Yanukovych didn't sign the military base rental extension, Russia would be kicked out of Crimea. Putin's narrative is FALSE. Putin's pressure caused Yanukovych to make a mistake.

Since joining the WTO in 2001, China has repeatedly insisted that it will live up to those undertakings made on entry. In particular, the use of currency manipulation has been identified by the US as a breech of the commitment to end price controls for the purposes of protecting domestic industries. This became a major political issue from 2005 onwards, and has only recently subsided because it is assumed that the RMB is slightly overvalued on the market. Nevertheless, for years it was deliberate policy for the PBoC to accumulate US Dollars and suppress the exchange rate for the RMB, resulting in exactly the price distortions China had committed to eliminate in 2001, and fuelling an enormous trade surplus with the US, which persists and expands to this day. Furthermore TRIPS implementation has been given some effect on paper, but has made little progress when it comes to 'enforcement.' This is (according to the WTO) as recently as February 2015, fully 14 years after TRIPS was supposed to be already in effect. The US Trade Representative produces an annual report to Congress on China's WTO compliance which leaves little room to conclude they have so far lived up to their accession commitments. The most recent several-hundred-page document - produced in December 2015 - recites a long list of small measures, committees established, announcements made and new administrative complications faced, all continuing disputes over an agreement theoretically in effect since 2001. Although, therefore, protectionism is rising around the world, it is also true to say that existing practices of protectionism have not fallen in the way that they should have since China's accession to the WTO in 2001. Because of this lack of progress in easing trade, the extended period of currency manipulation, the lack of observance of TRIPS and the sheer administrative resistance exporters face when trying to get their products into China, we now face of world of highly unbalanced trade, and rising mistrust. And it is this that is leading to rising protectionism; the simple fact that it never went away.

US EXIT from Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum has a negative outcome for any non-NATO US allies being in the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT). Budapest Memorandum's complete failure will reinforce arguments for independent nuclear weapons for smaller countries. --------- Before Euromaidan, Russia started a trade war against Ukraine, forcing Yanukovych to sign a base rental extension agreement that breached Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17 disallows foreign military bases after 2017. Read the Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17 which disallows foreign military bases after 2017. CONSTITUTION OF UKRAINE Adopted at the Fifth Session of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on 28 June 1996 Article 17 The location of foreign military bases shall not be permitted on the territory of Ukraine. Yanukovych breached the Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17. After 2017, Ukraine's constitution is incompatible with foreign military bases hosting either NATO or CSTO. If Yanukovych didn't sign the military base rental extension, Russia would be kicked out of Crimea. Putin's narrative is FALSE. Putin's pressure caused Yanukovych to make a mistake.

  13132.  @mongel9211  That's a red herring. Karl Marx has attached stereotypes to certain population groups with a particular religion and cultural norms. I'm using the same racial anti-discrimination standard and apply it to Karl Marx's "On The Jews Question" idealogy. Mercantilism is applicable to all race groups, hence Karl Marx's picking on the Jews is wrong! The core idealogy for NAZIs is racial socialism i.e. mass stealing from Slavic and Jews which benefits the so-called Ayran race group. US's secular system is a response to European Christian sectarian conflicts which is another issue. Karl Marx had Jewish ancestry, but he was actually a lapsed Christian. And an atheist. And an anti-Semite. Marx apparently was born Jewish. In 1818, His father had converted to Lutheranism in 1816 or 1817; his mother converted when Karl was 7, in 1825. Karl was baptized when he was 6, in 1824. The home he grew up in was non-religious. White person A's stereotype statement can be racist against other Whites when person A's stereotype failed the race neutrality test.

Marxist Salvador Allende clashed with the right-wing parties that controlled Congress and with the judiciary. On 11 September 1973, the military moved to oust Allende in a coup d'état. Marxist Salvador Allende's presidential branch effectively declared war on the judiciary and right-wing majority governed Congress branches. During the 1970 Chilean presidential election, both the United States and the Soviet Union poured money into this election through their intelligence agencies and other sources. 💰KGB money was more precisely targeted. Allende made a personal request for Soviet money through his personal contact, KGB officer Svyatoslav Kuznetsov, who urgently came to Chile from Mexico City to help Allende. The original allocation of money for these elections through the KGB was $400,000, and an additional personal subsidy of $50,000 directly to Allende.[8] It is believed that help from KGB was a decisive factor, because Allende won by a narrow margin of 39,000 votes of a total of the 3 million cast. After the elections, the KGB director Yuri Andropov obtained permission for additional money and other resources from the Central Committee of the CPSU to ensure Allende victory in Congress. In his request on 24 October, he stated that KGB "will carry out measures designed to promote the consolidation of Allende's victory and his election to the post of President of the country". --------------- In your argument's summary, the USSR-supported regime change intervention is okay while the US intervention is bad. Your argument is hypocritical. USSR's proxy attempted to remove Chile's check-and-balance Congress system. USSR's proxy attempted to concentrate political power into a single entity (individual and political party). The US has no problems with the Swedish-style nanny market led-socialism that is practiced in the CANZUK and Nordic groups.

  13188. @j6dt5bq3w Pre-U.S. Entry Into WWII From History, US Navy The first action between the U.S. and German navies occured on April 10, 1941, when USS Niblack (DD-424) neared the Icelandic coast to pick-up three boatloads of survivors from the Dutch freighter Saleier, which was sunk the previous day. When a submarine was detected preparing to attack, the division commander, Commander D.L. Ryan, ordered a depth charge attack, driving off the U-boat. USS Greer (DD-145) was attacked on September 4, 1941, by German U-boat, U-652, while she was tracking the submarine southeast of Iceland. Though the destroyer was not damaged in the attack, Greer's depth charges damaged U-652. The attack led President Franklin D. Roosevelt to issue his "shoot-on-sight" order, directing the U.S. Navy to attack any ship threatening U.S. shipping or foreign shipping under escort. U-652 would later be scuttled by U-81 after being badly damaged by depth charges from a British "Swordfish" aircraft in the Mediterrean Sea on June 2, 1942. The U.S. Navy oiler, USS Salinas (AO-19) was torpedoed off Newfoundland on September 30, 1941, by German U-boat, U-106. Without loss of life to Salinas' crew, the vessel returned to New York for repairs. In August 1943, U-106 was sunk off Spain by British and Australian Sutherland aircraft. German U-boat, U-568, torpedoed and damaged USS Kearny (DD-432) on October 17, 1941, near Iceland, resulting in 11 killed and 22 injured. In May 1942, U-568 was sunk by depth charges dropped by Royal Navy destroyer HMS Hero and destroyer escorts HMS Eridge and HMS Hurworth. On October 31, 1941, German U-boat, U-552, sank USS Reuben James (DD-245), which was escorting Convoy HX 156, with a loss of 115 lives. Reuben James was the first U.S. Navy ship lost to enemy action during World War II. During her service, U-552 sank 30 Allied vessels. She was scuttled by the Germans on May 5, 1945. While on Neutrality Patrol near the Equator, USS Omaha (CL-4) and USS Somer (DD-381) intercepted the German blockade runner Odenwald on November 4, 1941, disguised as U.S. freighter and boarded her after the German crew abandoned the ship. They brought the ship to San Juan, Puerto Rico, where the boarding party was awarded salvage shares. Of note, this award was the last prize money awarded by the U.S. Navy.

  13189.  user-wj6dt5bq3w  By Herb Kugel from warfare history network The first skirmish in what became the undeclared naval war between the United States and Germany took place on April 10, 1941, when the destroyer USS Niblack, on patrol in the North Atlantic, intercepted an SOS from the Dutch freighter SS Saleier. The SOS reported the Saleier was torpedoed and sinking rapidly. The freighter’s latitude and longitude placed her 441 nautical miles from Reykjavik, Iceland. The Niblack, ordered to her assistance, sailed all night. The next morning her lookouts spotted three small lifeboats. Before attempting to pick up survivors, the Niblack circled the lifeboats while conducting a sound search for German submarines. The crew of the Saleier, nine officers and 51 men, survived, but at 8:40 am, as the last of them were taken aboard the Niblack, sound contact was made with an “undersea object.” D.L. Ryan, commander of Destroyer Division 13, with which the Niblack served, described in his report what happened next: “This contact was about two points abaft the starboard beam and if it were a submarine, it was rapidly approaching a position for attack. With safety of ship, crew, and survivors in mind, decision was made to attack instantly … Accordingly … the ship went ahead … at full speed and turned to an intercepting course. When it was estimated the ship should be over the submarine (if one were present) time depth charges were dropped at ten second intervals, and then the ship proceeded to clear the area at 28 knots on course North without further investigation.”

  13190.  user-wj6dt5bq3w  Pre-U.S. Entry Into WWII From History, US Navy On May 21, 1941, the unarmed and clearly marked 5,000-ton American freighter Robin Moor, sailing from New York to various African ports, was stopped by the German submarine U-69 about 700 miles off the west coast of Africa. The ship carried a 38-man crew and eight passengers, four men, three women, and one child, all of whom were ordered to abandon the freighter, which was then sunk by the U-69. The Robin Moor was the first American merchant ship sunk by German submarines prior to U.S. entry into World War II. The other American-owned merchant ships sunk had been under Panamanian registry and, thus, flew the Panamanian flag. A full-scale war between the United States and Germany loomed closer when, on June 14, Roosevelt froze Axis funds in the United States and, on June 16, he ordered German consulates closed and all German diplomats expelled. Branding Germany an “outlaw nation,” he told the U.S. Congress on June 20: “I am … bringing to the attention of the Congress the ruthless sinking … of an American ship, the Robin Moor, in the … Atlantic Ocean…” Roosevelt climaxed his report with: “We are not yielding and we do not propose to yield.”

On September 11, the same day Roosevelt made his fireside chat, a speech that became known as his “Shoot on Sight Speech,” the U.S-Panamanian freighter Montana, carrying lumber from Wilmington, North Carolina, to Reykjavik, was sunk by the German submarine U-105. Eighteen of her 25-man crew died. On September 17, five American destroyers began escorting convoy HX150 from Halifax. This was the first time the United States Navy escorted an eastbound British transatlantic convoy. On September 20, the U.S.-Panamanian freighter Pink Star, carrying general cargo from New York to Liverpool, was sunk by U-552. Thirteen out of the crew of 35 men died. On September 26, the U.S.-Panamanian oil tanker I.C. White was sunk by U-66 while sailing from Curaçao, an island in the southern Caribbean, to Cape Town, South Africa. Three men died in this attack. The tanker was unescorted, unarmed, and fully lit. On October 9, Roosevelt began his efforts to have the U.S. Neutrality Acts changed to allow for the arming of merchant ships. Your "You clearly haven't done the research on the subject" assertion is a load of bulldust.

  13223. The PC has legacy business software support and Xenix X86 i.e. Microsoft's licensed AT&T Unix. 80286 has integrated MMU which is important for Xenix 286. Microsoft Xenix was the best-selling Unix since it run on commodity X86 PC hardware. IBM OS/2 was a distraction for Microsoft. Windows NT X86 and Linux X86 have displaced Xenix. Motorola wasn't serious about Unix until MMU integrated 68030. 68020 has an external MMU which is an additional component cost. By the time of 1993, Windows NT was available on a super fast Alpha CPU that crushed both 486 / Pentium 66 and 68040/released 1994 68060 which caused Intel to rapidly evolved Pentium CPU and CISC-RISC hybrid Pentium Pro (P6). The foundation for Amiga's defeat was IBM establishing VGA and 8514/A standards in 1987. ET4000AX was released in 1989 with fast VGA and 8514/A "compatible". VGA cloners improved and cost-reduced VGA / SVGA and 8514/A. Motorola's EoL 68K's R&D doomed Commodore, Atari, and any other vendors with heavy 68K-based computer business. Motorola wasted R&D time on RISC based 88000. Motorola 68882 wasn't a single-cycle floating point co-processor like AT&T's DSP3210. AmigaOS's multitasking lacks security and multiuser features since it's a toy OS when compared to Xenix.

  13260.  @madigorfkgoogle9349  You are the one who is here wrong, you always change topic, I NEVER stated the 68882 is a RISC design FPU. MFLOPS matters for basic comparison. You're wrong. Amiga's SysInfo's MFLOPS rating is better than your wrong argument. MacOS runs on the Amiga via Shapeshifter para-VM and MacOS's Byte Mark benchmark also runs.

  13261.  @madigorfkgoogle9349  There is a reason why MFOPLS is not used since 90s. FALSE. SGEMM benchmark still uses the FLOPS rating e.g. MFLOPS, GFLOPS, and TFLOPS. AIDA64 GGPU benchmark still uses the FLOPS rating. Or do you believe that A1200 when equipped with FastRAM has 2.3 power of stock A1200? You haven't factored that the shared memory bus will degrade the A1200's CPU when compared to PC style two discrete memory pools. SNES has at least two discrete memory pools i.e. WRAM and VRAM. 3DO has two discrete memory pools i.e. system RAM and VRAM. PS1 has two discrete memory pools i.e. system RAM and VRAM.

IBM's $5,000 AT 286 made for the cheapest Unix workstation around, which became an immediate hit in university computing labs worldwide. Furthermore, because XENIX allowed inexpensive dumb terminals to connect to a central machine, it was perfect for any setting where users needed to share the same centralized resource. XENIX became popular with retailers, fast-food outlets, and for scheduling systems used in hotels and restaurants. Internally, Microsoft used XENIX for handling email, and it was used by everyone in the company, right up to Bill Gates. By the late 1980s, Microsoft had become the biggest Unix company, with XENIX having the largest number of installations of any Unix variant.

  13264.  @madigorfkgoogle9349  you see, and that is again a proof you dont understand what you read. That's a misapplication of CISC vs RISC. A RISC FPU wins math extensive FADD and FMUL floating point basic operations at near 1 IPC. Classic CISC like 68030 is mostly microcode with instructions being executed in many clock cycles e.g. run Doom with 68030 @ 50 Mhz vs 3DO"s ARM60 @ 12.5 Mhz. Doom on 3DO is no hardware accelerated. 68882's FMUL and FADD are in many clock cycles. Don't apply +1 IPC CISC capable 68060 / Pentium to classic CISC like 68030. On Lightwave rendering, MIPS R4400 murders MC68882 and 68040 FPUs

  13265.  @madigorfkgoogle9349  argued to you that MC68882 is a different animal to DSP3210 since DSP has just single precision, while MC68882 supports double and extended precision, so the DSP3210 while fast IEEE FP32 is in common with today's gaming GpGPUs which executes fast IEEE FP32 with very slow IEEE FP64 compatibility mode. AMD's 3DNow 64bit SIMD aimed at two IEEE FP32 math. For the FP64 use case, you need NVIDIA H100 GpGPU which includes fast IEEE FP64. 128-core AMD Epyc CPU for extended double precision FP80 use case. IBM POWER 9 for quad precision FP128 use case. NVIDIA's AD102 has fast IEEE FP32 with slow IEEE FP64. I don't need to be an Amiga fan to know modern-day gaming PC GPGPU is mostly IEEE FP32 monsters.

  13267.  @madigorfkgoogle9349  so you grab any straw without understanding the principles and the big picture. With ARM Cortex A72, Emu68 can translate 68K instructions into ARM instructions in a near 1:1 manner e.g. MD5 workload. CISC has an advantage in doing math on memory location which implies loading and executing math operations when CISC CPU can execute 1 IPC. The CISC advantage falls apart when the classic CISC CPU is heavily micro-coded like 68030 or 80386. You grab any straw without understanding the principles and the big picture.

Intel integrated MMU in 1982 and available for ALL 286-based systems and the same for 386's 1985 release. A dual 68000 configuration needs two 16-bit front-side buses. Motorola will "nickel and dime" MMU as a separate feature in their product stack. The dual 68000 configuration was rendered obsolete since it was not cost-effective and Unix evolved with memory protection.

  13273.  @madigorfkgoogle9349  Note that 68882 is running ROMed microcode FPU instructions on a simplistic FPU core, hence why it takes many clock cycles to complete FADD or FMUL instructions. The RISC idealogy is to remove the microcode and implement the instruction directly on the hardware, hence the near 1 IPC goals. 68040 FPU implements more FPU hardware with 68882's instructions, hence there's less clock cycle to complete the same instruction with the 68040 FPU. It's even better on 68060 and AC68080.
    1
  13274.  @madigorfkgoogle9349  The instruction set is nearly meaningless when microarchitecture is considered. 68060 FPU implements 68882 instructions towards the hardware side and less on microcode. As the transistor budget increased for the same money, Motorola was able to reduce microcode steps with more FPU hardware, hence the 68060's FPU executes the same 68882 instructions with fewer clock cycles. Apple 68040/DSP32 combo mirrors Apple's use case push with Altivec's fast IEEE FP32. Commodore just copied Apple's 68K/DSP32 combo.

  13286. ​ @madigorfkgoogle9349  In professional CAD/CAE the double precision is a requirement. Tell that to a very fast FP32-based Quadro RTX card that reused gaming GpGPU core. Modern AutoCAD's presentation layer is 3D accelerated by the same Quadro RTX card or Studio driver GeForce RTX 3090/4090 cards. X86-64 CPU's FP64/FP80 capable AVX2/AVX-512/X87 FPU handles the rest. RTX 3090/4090 supports workstation ECC GDDR6X and they are enabled in the control panel. Apple bundled 68040/DSP321 that includes improved FP64 (via 68040 FPU) and FP32 (via 68040 FPU and DSP3210) over the 68030/68882. The same approach is applied to the Apple-driven PowerPC Altivec and PowerPC FPU use case. For FP32, Altivec is 4X faster than the normal PowerPC FPU. This is the standard approach that is applied to most of today's professional workstations. NVIDIA H100 and AMD Instinct accelerators are the fast FP64 math accelerators besides being fast at Tensor AI workloads. The last gaming GPU product with reasonably fast FP64 relative to FP32's performance is Radeon HD 7970/R9-280X's Hawaii GCN and RX Vega 56/64/Vega II. After this generation, AMD split the fast FP64 GPUs from gaming/Radeon Pro NAVI GPUs. Commodore copied Apple's Quadra AV.

  13298.  @madigorfkgoogle9349  AT&T marketed DSP3210 as being a RISC-designed core i.e. hardware instruction implementation (less microcode), fixed instruction length and 'etc'. DSP3210 has a dual pipeline with IEU and FPU (known as DPU). DSP3210 @ 50 Mhz on 68020/68030's 25 Mhz 32-bit bus wouldn't be able to execute 1 IPC. My point: DSP3210's FP32 operations will saturate the 25 Mhz 32-bit bus. DSP3210 has a combined 8 KB L1 cache like 68040's 4KB inst + 4 KB data L1 cache or 8 KB combined L1 cache. Quadra 840AV has 68040 @ 40 Mhz with a front-side bus matching it. Apple connected a custom VLSI chip to DSP3210 @ 60 Mhz The DSP3210 is a class above MC56000 DSP, 68030 @ 50 Mhz, 68882 @ 50 Mhz (just for FP32), and 68040 FPU at 40 Mhz (just for FP32). The RISC threat is real against heavily microcode CPUs like 68020/68030 or 80386DX. DSP3210 is officially supported in SunOS 4.1(Sun-4 Series), MacOS (Macintosh II Series), MS-DOS (PC6300 and compatibles), and UNIX Berkeley 4.2 (Sun-3 Series).

  13314. XI's China has modern-day territorial disputes based on Imperial China's Ten Great Campaigns. The Ten Great Campaigns (Chinese: 十全武功; pinyin: Shíquán Wǔgōng) were a series of military campaigns launched by the Qing dynasty of China in the mid–late 18th century during the reign of the Qianlong Emperor (r. 1735–1796). They included three to enlarge the area of Qing control in Inner Asia: two against the Dzungars (1755–1757) and the "pacification" of Xinjiang (1758–1759). The other seven campaigns were more in the nature of police actions on frontiers already established: two wars to suppress the Gyalrong of Jinchuan, Sichuan, another to suppress the Taiwanese Aboriginals (1787–88), and four expeditions abroad against the Burmese (1765–1769), the Vietnamese (1788–1789), and the Gurkhas on the border between Tibet and Nepal (1790–1792), with the last counting as two. President Xi's argument is based on historical Imperial China's Ten Great Campaigns. Territorial disputes around Xi's China are based on Imperial China's Ten Great Campaigns. During the 4th Sino-Burmese Wars starting in 1768, Imperial China invaded the Kingdom of Burma. Burma hired European musketeers and gunners, hence Burma allied itself with the rising French Empire against Imperial China's invasion. Imperial China is an imperialist power that led to engagement with other powers.

Different cultures have different assimilation rates and results rediff.com/news/2008/jun/06spec.htm im.rediff.com/news/2008/jun/07look.jpg Immigrants from India and China are quick to assimilate into the economic fabric of the United States, but are not as quick when it comes to assimilating culturally and in civic matters, a study by Jacob Vigdor, associate professor of public policy studies and economics at Duke University, has found. Billed as the first annual Index of Immigrant Assimilation, the study measured three types of assimilation: economic (employment, education, homeownership); cultural (intermarriage, English proficiency, family size); and civic (citizenship rates, military service, voting). It then compared the assimilation rates of recent immigrants by country of origin, and found that immigrants from Vietnam, Cuba and the Philippines have the high ratings across the board. The overall assimilation index for all countries averages out to 28 on a scale of 100, but the index for India is under 20, and China only barely tops the 20 mark. Mexico rates 13 points, while Canada [Images] scores a high 53. "In terms of overall assimilation, immigrants from Mexico and Central America have index values below those of Indians; the index value for India is below that of China," Bridget Sweeny of the Manhattan Institute, a liberal think tank, said. Immigrants born in Canada, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Korea, the Philippines, and Vietnam have assimilation-index values higher than the national average of 28. 'This report introduces a quantitative index that measures the degree of similarity between native and foreign-born adults. It is the ability to distinguish the latter group from the former that we mean when we use the term assimilation,' the report said.

  13372.  @cocindaucocindau354  Chile example, USSR has supported its Cuban proxy that in turn supported Marxist Salvador Allende. You're a hypocrite. Marxist Salvador Allende clashed with the right-wing parties that controlled Congress and with the judiciary. On 11 September 1973, the military moved to oust Allende in a coup d'état. Marxist Salvador Allende's presidential branch effectively declared war on the judiciary and right-wing majority governed Congress branches. During the 1970 Chilean presidential election, both the United States and the Soviet Union poured money into this election through their intelligence agencies and other sources. 💰KGB money was more precisely targeted. Allende made a personal request for Soviet money through his personal contact, KGB officer Svyatoslav Kuznetsov, who urgently came to Chile from Mexico City to help Allende. The original allocation of money for these elections through the KGB was $400,000, and an additional personal subsidy of $50,000 directly to Allende.[8] It is believed that help from KGB was a decisive factor, because Allende won by a narrow margin of 39,000 votes of a total of the 3 million cast. After the elections, the KGB director Yuri Andropov obtained permission for additional money and other resources from the Central Committee of the CPSU to ensure Allende victory in Congress. In his request on 24 October, he stated that KGB "will carry out measures designed to promote the consolidation of Allende's victory and his election to the post of President of the country".[8] You're a fuking hypocrite.

After 2017, Ukraine's constitution is incompatible with any foreign military bases hosting by either NATO or CSTO. Yanukovych breached the Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17. If Yanukovych didn't sign the military base rental extension, Russia would be kicked out of Crimea. Putin's narrative is false when Yanukovych breached the 1996 Ukraine Constitution's Article 17.

It is propagated to us as Hyperinflation Learn the reasons for the Euro was created with a large 342 million population base Eurozone change demand factor for effectively renamed Deutsche Mark. As one of many major factors, the currency's worth is related to its usage demand. Learn from Sri Lanka when they run out of foreign currencies. Sri Lanka is a small nation, hence its currency means little to other countries. US Federal Reserve (USD) is also engaged in an official monetary union with several countries e.g. El Salvador and Ecuador, hence creating +354 million population USD zone. US immigration is part of increasing its currency's market base as an alternative to the imperialist annexing another country method. The UK lost its currency strength when the Sterling zone disintegrated via Commonwealth's Imperial Preference (custom union) was dismantled as a price for US supporting UK's WW2 adventures. Major Commonwealth members such as Australia and Canada switched from Sterling to Dollar based decimal currency after WW2. USSR's disintegration wasn't the 1st European empire to collapse. >Regarding polygamy, its actually better for women and the society. Preaching virtue while demanding repentance while supporting polygamy shows their own hypocrisy. Polygamy promotes selfish actions from a few men. I don't support the monopolistic behavior of some men who argues for polygamy. >Porn has a very devastating effect on men's psychology and their behavior towards women.

Soviet–Ukrainian War occurred between 1917 to 1921, a war between the Ukrainian People's Republic vs the Bolsheviks i.e. Ukrainian Soviet Republic and Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (modern-day Russian Federation). These "old world" issues existed before the US being a superpower. The US's involvement with Ukraine is by Ukrainian descendants who fled the Soviet–Ukrainian War that occurred in 1917. The worst nightmare for Russia is when Polish and Ukrainians have influence over US firepower. Imperialist "Grand Duchy of Moscow" has been attempting to dominate the Slavic peoples for a long time.

Again, you can't handle the truth on Yanukovich's Ukraine constitution breach and Putin's interference in Ukraine BEFORE Euromaidan. According to the 1937 Soviet constitution, as amended in 1944, Ukraine had the right to “enter into direct relations with foreign states, to conclude agreements, and to exchange diplomatic and consular representatives with them” and to maintain its own military forces. Like the Russian SFSR, the Ukrainian SSR retained 'the right of free secession from the USSR' (art 69). Putin's Russia is land grabbing like old-school Imperialist Russia.

  13452.  @djl5634  Luftwaffe Tornado’s nuclear capability is based around 22 old B61 Mod 3 and B61 Mod 4 gravity bombs. The Permissive Action Link codes are necessary for arming them to remain under American control. In time of war they would be carried by the host nation’s aircraft – except for those weapons based in Turkey, which would be carried by US aircraft. Belgium and the Netherlands designate F-16s to the nuclear role, while Italy and Germany assign the mission to the Tornado, some of which are dual-capable, and equipped with the special wiring and controls needed to carry and deliver nuclear weapons. A nuclear bomb cannot simply be attached to any weapon's pylon; strict certification rules require a high degree of integrity for the wiring, which often means that nuclear-capable pylons have to be permanently fitted and cannot easily be removed. Northern European F-16A MLU has been replaced by F-35A Block 3F/Block 4. Italy replaced Tornado's nuclear role with the "made in Italy, EU" F-35A Block 3F. Less trusted F-16 customers don't have US nuclear bomb-related tech.

The European Union actually comes off as the bigger offender when compared to the US, he added. The unweighted average EU customs duty is 5.2 percent, versus the US rate of 3.5 percent, according to ifo’s database. So when Mr. Trump complains of “massive tariffs” he is not that far off the mark in several cases. And he does complain. “If the EU wants to further increase their already massive tariffs and barriers on US companies doing business there, we will simply apply a tax on their cars, which freely pour into the US,” the president tweeted earlier this month. “They make it impossible for our cars (and more) to sell there. Big trade imbalance!” .... In fact it wasn’t even Mr. Trump who first broke off negotiations over a US-EU free trade deal known as the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), the German economist noted. It was actually the EU that put the unpopular talks “on ice” ahead of elections in France and Germany.

On April 25, 2017, the Trump administration announced plans to impose duties of up to 24% on most Canadian lumber, charging that lumber companies are subsidized by the government.[34] The duties are on the five firms: West Fraser Mills, Tolko Marketing and Sales, J. D. Irving, Canfor Corporation, and Resolute FP Canada. West Fraser Mills will pay the highest duty of 24%. Notice, 1. US's 24 percent is lower than Canada's 270 percent 2.

  13516.  @Hi11is  Basic wing loading without body and vortex lift. F-35A Empty weight: 29,300 lb Wing area: 460 ft² Wing loading: 63.04 lbs/ sq feet. F-16C Block 52 Wing area: 300 ft² Empty weight: 18,900 lb Wing loading: 63 lbs/ sq feet. F-35A's empty weight is 1.54X scaled from F-16C. F-35A's wing area is 1.53X scaled from F-16C. F-35A's 43,000 lbf thrust is 1.50X scaled from F-16C's 28,600 lbf. F-35A's 45,000 lbf thrust upgrade road map is 1.57X scaled from F-16C's 28,600 lbf. F-35A needs at least 44,330 lbs thrust to preserve the 1.55X scale factor. There's a near straight 1.5X scaling between F16C to F-35A on basic wing loading, engine thrust, and empty weight. F-35A's wing area is influenced by weight growth and F-16C's empty weight wing loading target. F-35A is NOT designed to be the F-15C replacement!

"By international law, the notion of a country's sovereign airspace corresponds with the maritime definition of territorial waters as being 12 nautical miles (22.2 km) out from a nation's coastline." Iran has 1L13 "Nebo" VHF radar, Kolchuga (VHF, UHF and SHF), Matla-ul-fajr (VHF), Gamma Radar (low-frequency band), Vostok radar (VHF) and other radars, and it didn't detect F22 threat.

  13528.  @manofsan  Lockheed Martin Corporation's year 2010 stealth fiber material patent via Applied NanoStructured Solutions LLC (ANS), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lockheed Martin Corporation. The patent number is US20100271253 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In some aspects, embodiments disclosed herein relate to a radar-absorbing composite that includes a (CNT)-infused fiber material disposed in at least a portion of a matrix material. The composite is capable of absorbing radar in a frequency range from between about 0.10 Megahertz to about 60 Gigahertz. The CNT-infused fiber material forms a first layer that reduces radar reflectance and a second layer that dissipates the energy of the absorbed radar. Lockheed Martin reveals F-35 Lot 4 to feature nanocomposite structures via flightglobal's lockheed-martin-reveals-f-35-to-feature-nanocomposite-357223 Patent US20100271253 specifically mentions 2 Ghz L-Band problem with older radar-absorbing material. LM's year 2010 stealth fiber material patent is effective from 0.1 MHz to 60 Ghz which is included all VHF, L-band, S-Band, X-band, Ku-band P-Band – 30-100 cm (1-0.3 GHz) L-Band – 15-30 cm (2-1 GHz) S-Band – 8-15 cm (4-2 GHz) C-Band – 4-8 cm (8-4 GHz) X-Band – 2.5-4 cm (12-8 GHz) K-Band – Ku: 1.7-2.5 cm (18-12 GHz); Ka-Band: 0.75-1.2 cm (40-27 GHz).

  13529.  @BMF6889  That's from militaryembedded. militaryembedded's F-22A vs F-35A RCS is wrong since General Mike Hostage has confirmed USAF F-35A has a smaller RCS when compared to F-22A.

  13530.  @manofsan  F-117A is being flown as a test platform for stealth material research e.g. mirror finish F-117A. Mirror finish stealth materials R&D was applied on F-22A and F-35C test platforms. F-117A's GE engines are common with Boeing F/A-18, KAI-LM FA-50, Boeing-Saab T-7, HAL Tejas, and 'etc', hence engine parts issue is not a problem for F-117A.

Outcome ranked 1st and overall health care ranked is 2nd. UK, NZ, and Canada have superior scores when compared to the US. 2. To enable communism, it will require big government intervention to mass steal wealth from people, hence need large-scale armed enforcement. Australia doesn't need communism to implement its efficient single-payer universal health care system i.e. the government created a separate system in parallel to the private system. Australia doesn't need to go Venezuela's path. I support the CANZUK initiative to create an alternative to the US model.

While China has made progress, some problems remain: a lack of transparency industrial policies and non-tariff measures that discriminate against foreign companies strong government intervention in the economy, resulting in a dominant position of state-owned firms, unequal access to subsidies and cheap financing poor protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights In 2016 the EU adopted a new strategy on China mapping out the European Union's relationship with China for the next five years. The Strategy promotes reciprocity , a level playing field and fair competition across all areas of co-operation. The strategy also includes a trade agenda with a strong focus on improving market access opportunities – including negotiations on a Comprehensive Agreement on Investment. It also deals with overcapacity and calling on China to engage with ambition at multilateral level.

LOL Hint: For 100% electricity needs, pony up $200 billion just for Singapore's 5.686 million population. Scale to Australia's 26 million population and that's about $914 billion.

Ukraine doesn't have nuclear weapons because it handed them over to Russia back in the 90's for an agreement with Russia... that agreement which Russia signed was a promise to NEVER invade Ukraine.

Christians are less centralized since the Vatican's Catholic Church and Orthodox Church were decoupled from Protestant-majority countries. Ukrainian Orthodox Church has no problems decoupling from the Russian Orthodox Church. In the US and South Korea, Protestant-based Evangelicals have a larger membership base when compared to traditional European-originated Churches i.e. Anglican and Catholic Churches. The United States has the largest Christian population in the world and, more specifically, the largest Protestant population in the world, with nearly 210 million Christians. Protestant-based Evangelicals have a larger membership base compared to mainline Protestants and Catholics. The Vatican has been decoupled from Italy. There's a reason why Palestine has banned certain Protestant Churches. Due to different Christian denominations and experience from the UK, the US's secularism was created.

Changing USAF's short-range F-16C backbone into a longer-range F-35A backbone has reduced the need for the Turkish airbase. The US already made plans for Turkey's potential exit from NATO. Sweden is already a member of the ""Fourteen Eyes" alliance. The Five Eyes is waiting for Sweden to complete the steps.

  13669. The Ten Great Campaigns (Chinese: 十全武功; pinyin: Shíquán Wǔgōng) were a series of military campaigns launched by the Qing dynasty of China in the mid–late 18th century during the reign of the Qianlong Emperor (r. 1735–1796). They included three to enlarge the area of Qing control in Inner Asia: two against the Dzungars (1755–1757) and the "pacification" of Xinjiang (1758–1759). The other seven campaigns were more in the nature of police actions on frontiers already established: two wars to suppress the Gyalrong of Jinchuan, Sichuan, another to suppress the Taiwanese Aboriginals (1787–88), and four expeditions abroad against the Burmese (1765–1769), the Vietnamese (1788–1789), and the Gurkhas on the border between Tibet and Nepal (1790–1792), with the last counting as two. President Xi's argument is based on historical Imperial China's Ten Great Campaigns (Chinese: 十全武功; pinyin: Shíquán Wǔgōng). China current's territorial dispute is based on Imperial China's Ten Great Campaigns. History is repeating itself. Keating failed history. President Xi is not like the former CCP leaders.

However, there is some limited similarity between SARS-CoV-2 and other, more common coronaviruses, so cross reactivity cannot be completely ruled out.

  13704. The Ten Great Campaigns (Chinese: 十全武功; pinyin: Shíquán Wǔgōng) were a series of military campaigns launched by the Qing dynasty of China in the mid–late 18th century during the reign of the Qianlong Emperor (r. 1735–1796). They included three to enlarge the area of Qing control in Inner Asia: two against the Dzungars (1755–1757) and the "pacification" of Xinjiang (1758–1759). The other seven campaigns were more in the nature of police actions on frontiers already established: two wars to suppress the Gyalrong of Jinchuan, Sichuan, another to suppress the Taiwanese Aboriginals (1787–88), and four expeditions abroad against the Burmese (1765–1769), the Vietnamese (1788–1789), and the Gurkhas on the border between Tibet and Nepal (1790–1792), with the last counting as two. President Xi's argument is based on historical Imperial China's Ten Great Campaigns (Chinese: 十全武功; pinyin: Shíquán Wǔgōng).

  13710. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/a-guide-to-understanding-the-dairy-dispute-between-the-us-andcanada/article34802291/ Canada has long maintained a high tariff wall on most dairy products. The duty on milk is 270 per cent. That keeps most imports from the United States and elsewhere out of Canada, while helping to prop up higher domestic prices. One notable exception is ultrafiltered milk and other protein-rich dairy ingredients used to make dairy products such as cheese and yogurt. North American free-trade rules do not cover these ingredients, so they enter Canada duty-free. And in recent years, U.S. dairies have developed a booming business selling these low-cost products to dairies in Canada ($133-million last year). That all changed about a year ago, when Canadian dairy farmers and producers moved to close the breach in the tariff wall with a new "ingredients strategy." They persuaded regulators to create a new lower-priced class of industrial milk as an incentive to get dairies to produce protein substances in Canada, using Canadian milk. The result was predictable: U.S. imports fell in 2016, and are declining sharply so far this year. ---- In 2016, Canada started a trade war against US. Hypocrites from Canada. Canada talks about "Free Trade" while installed a trade protection for it's dairy industry.

  13784.  @EsmeClips  That's bullshit. Australia and Timor-Leste are both Parties to the 1982 United Nations Law of the Sea Convention, which came into force between them on 2 February 2013. An Agreement to formalise the maritime boundaries alignment in the Timor Sea was signed by the two countries on 6 March 2018. The alignment of the maritime boundary is only partially determined by that Agreement, Article 7(1) of which makes provision for the establishment of the “Greater Sunrise Special Regime”.

  13785.  @EsmeClips  Your argument is BS. The landmark treaty sets out the maritime border at the midway point between the countries, in line with the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). Australia had pushed for a border at the edge it's continental shelf, which would have put the boundary closer to East Timor. The new deal means East Timor will receive at least 70% of the largest oil field, Greater Sunrise, which is worth an estimated $40bn (£28bn; A$51bn). Under the agreement, East Timor will receive a greater slice of revenue - 80% - if gas is processed in Australia. ---------- You are wrong. You don't understand UNCLOS.

  13790.  @thomasoloughlin9075  From funding-tracker-who-s-sending-aid-to-ukraine-102887 European Union The European Union announced two major packages of €330 million ($353 million) and €500 million ($535 million) in humanitarian funding early in the war. It also co-hosted a pledging summit for Ukraine with the international movement Global Citizen and the Canadian government, at which the EU pledged €600 million to support Ukraine itself, and another €400 million to support other countries that have taken on Ukrainian refugees. In addition to humanitarian grant funding, the EU has provided several packages of loans and other finance, both directly and through the European Investment Bank. Meanwhile, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, which is partially owned by EIB and by the EU and its member countries, has made €2 billion in loan finance available. United States The U.S. government has announced several packages of emergency funding for Ukraine, with the latest worth $40 billion, split relatively evenly between military support and humanitarian aid, according to The New York Times. Many details of the spending are still to be fleshed out, and updates will be recorded on Devex’s Funding Platform when more is known about how the humanitarian funding will be channeled. The Devex Funding Platform also includes other announcements from the U.S. government, including a $1 billion commitment from earlier this year. United Kingdom The U.K. has committed a total of £1.5 billion ($1.7 billion) in humanitarian and economic support for Ukraine, according to a government website. It has sent another £2.3 billion of military aid. Germany Germany’s leaders have faced criticism for not supplying enough arms to Ukraine and for taking a more cautious approach to the possible defeat of Russia. However, Germany has been relatively generous in supplying aid, with a recent €1 billion grant. ------ EU's funding for Ukraine is small when compared to the UK and US. Keep it in context.

Think of the submarine's silent mode tactics applied for IR.

F-35 Block 4 includes high-resolution near-visual-IR sensors processed by GpGPU as a counter stealth sensor. Traditional IRST is not good enough. GpGPU AI is taking over visual processing. Block 3F has a large-scale FPGA for visual processing.

While in orbit, Starfield's ship sensors don't have the accuracy of a hand or gun sights scanner, hence a handheld sensor when establishing the player's outpost. For combined arms doctrine, there is no military-grade sensor fusion between the handheld and ship sensors. The game logic wasn't designed with the US military's combining arms doctrine advisor.

Starfield's detailed texture asset design exploited RX 7900 XT/XTX's real video memory bandwidth advantages.

The European Union actually comes off as the bigger offender when compared to the US, he added. The unweighted average EU customs duty is 5.2 percent, versus the US rate of 3.5 percent, according to ifo’s database. So when Mr. Trump complains of “massive tariffs” he is not that far off the mark in several cases. And he does complain. “If the EU wants to further increase their already massive tariffs and barriers on US companies doing business there, we will simply apply a tax on their cars, which freely pour into the US,” the president tweeted earlier this month. “They make it impossible for our cars (and more) to sell there. Big trade imbalance!” In fact it wasn’t even Mr. Trump who first broke off negotiations over a US-EU free trade deal known as the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), the German economist noted. It was actually the EU that put the unpopular talks “on ice” ahead of elections in France and Germany. https://www.ft.com/content/25900f14-1564-11e8-9c33-02f893d608c2 India has increased it's tariff on Chinese products since Feb 2018. http://ec.europa.eu/trade/policy/countries-and-regions/countries/china/ When China joined the WTO in 2001 it agreed to reform and liberalise important parts of its economy. While China has made progress, some problems remain: a lack of transparency industrial policies and non-tariff measures that discriminate against foreign companies strong government intervention in the economy, resulting in a dominant position of state-owned firms, unequal access to subsidies and cheap financing poor protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights In 2016 the EU adopted a new strategy on China mapping out the European Union's relationship with China for the next five years.* The Strategy promotes reciprocity* , a level playing field and fair competition across all areas of co-operation. The strategy also includes a trade agenda with a strong focus on improving market access opportunities – including negotiations on a Comprehensive Agreement on Investment. It also deals with overcapacity and calling on China to engage with ambition at multilateral level. https://www.export.gov/article?id=Argentina-trade-barriers Tariff Barriers For countries outside the MERCOSUR area, Argentina and its MERCOSUR partners established the MERCOSUR common external tariff (CET) on January 1, 1995.

That, in view of the low percentage share of the developing countries in total world industrial production, recalling General Assembly resolution 3306 (XX IX), of 14 December 1974, and taking into account the policy guidelines and qualitative recommendations made in the present Declaration. their share should be increased to the maximum possible extent and as far as possible to at least 25 per cent of total world industrial production by the year 2000, while making every endeavour to ensure that the industrial growth so achieved is distributed among the developing countries as evenly as possible.

  13845. Yugoslavia. Read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breakup_of_Yugoslavia Miloševic refused to agree to the plan, as he claimed that the European Community had no right to dissolve Yugoslavia and that the plan was not in the interests of Serbs as it would divide the Serb people into four republics (Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia & Herzegovina, and Croatia). Carington responded by putting the issue to a vote in which all the other republics, including Montenegro under Momir Bulatovic, initially agreed to the plan that would dissolve Yugoslavia. However, after intense pressure from Serbia on Montenegro's President, Montenegro changed its position to oppose the dissolution of Yugoslavia. Europeans fundamentally continued WW2 type push on Serbs. This time around, Germany has the power of NATO which includes the largest member in Germanic language family of countries (Ref 1) i.e. USA + other Anglosphere countries (UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand). Ref 1: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germanic_languages Read http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1992-01-16/news/9201050384_1_croatia-cease-fire-european-nations "*The European move, and follow-up actions elsewhere, are expected to put pressure on the United States to grant recognition*, even though it has been opposed to such a step at this time. The U.S. fears that recognition could endanger the current cease-fire in the war between Serbia and Croatia and cause the war to spread to Bosnia-Herzegovina." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_Yugoslav_breakup 19 December 1991: Germany announces that it will recognize Croatia on January 15, 1992, with or without the rest of the European Community. 23 December 1991: Germany becomes the first major power to recognize Croatia and Slovenia as independent states 15 January 1992: The European Community recognizes Slovenia and Croatia. Without NATO(and U.S.),Germany and Austria would have done it alone and we would have another WW1 i.e. Russia would have taken on Germany and Austria as in WWI. Attacks on Poland would have brought in UK which brings US. NATO and USA kept Russia in check. Your blame on the US is flawed when it's the European move that pushed for Yugoslavia's break-up

    1
  13847.  JC SC38  The MK41 VLS absolutely cannot launch a missile without the weapon system. Example: The Danish navy's frigates cannot launch Tomahawks, even though they have MK41. This is simply because the weapon system doesn't support the Tomahawk missile.
    1
  13848.  JC SC38  There is a component named the TWCS (Tomahawk weapon control system) that's part of the architecture. If that component isn't there (and the WCS doesn't support Tomahawk) Tomahawk cannot be fired. For each missile type that is put into the Mk41, there is dedicated hardware and software that must be integrated into the Weapon System so allow deployment of that missile - without it, the missile type cannot be launched. If the AA sites in Europe doesn't have the appropriate hardware and software in the weapon system, it doesn't matter that the Mk41 can launch a Tomahawk - that AA system is not capable of launching Tomahawks. ---- Israel developed Popeye Turbo SLCM after being rejected from buying the Tomahawks. In 2021, Australia was allowed to purchase Tomahawks for the Hobart class destroyer (based on Álvaro de Bazán class, also known as the F100 class frigate). Spanish F100 class frigate has a longer strike length MK41 VLS. British Type 26 class frigate has a longer strike length MK41 VLS. British has Tomahawks and a nuclear-armed state. Netherlands' De Zeven Provinciën class frigate has a longer strike length MK41 VLS. Missing TWCS (Tomahawk weapon control system).

The Naval Strike Missile (NSM) is an anti-ship and land-attack missile developed by the Norwegian company Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace (KDA). Naval Strike Missile (NSM) fits into the shorter tactical length MK41 VLS. 😘 The Naval Strike Missile (NSM) was in service from 2012.

The United States of America, the Russian Federation, and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, reaffirm their commitment to Ukraine, in accordance with the principles of the CSCE [Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe] Final Act, to respect the Independence and Sovereignty and the existing borders of Ukraine. 2. The United States of America, the Russian Federation, and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, reaffirm their obligation to refrain from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of Ukraine, and that none of their weapons will ever be used against Ukraine except in self-defense or otherwise in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations. 3. The United States of America, the Russian Federation, and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, reaffirm their commitment to Ukraine, in accordance with the principles of the CSCE Final Act, to refrain from economic coercion designed to subordinate to their own interest the exercise by Ukraine of the rights inherent in its sovereignty and thus to secure advantages of any kind. 4. The United States of America, the Russian Federation, and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, reaffirm their commitment to seek immediate United Nations Security Council action to provide assistance to Ukraine, as a non-nuclear-weapon State Party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, if Ukraine should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used. 5. The United States of America, the Russian Federation, and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, reaffirm, in the case of the Ukraine, their commitment not to use nuclear weapons against any non-nuclear-weapon State Party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, except in the case of an attack on themselves, their territories or dependent territories, their armed forces, or their allies, by such a state in association or alliance with a nuclear weapon state. 6. The United States of America, the Russian Federation, and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland will consult in the event a situation arises which raises a question concerning these commitments. ------------------ Ukraine is using clause 1 i.e. reaffirming their (US, UK, Russia) commitment to Ukraine's independence and sovereignty and the existing borders of Ukraine.

  13887. The Chile example, USSR has supported its Cuban proxy that in turn supported Marxist Salvador Allende. You're a hypocrite. Marxist Salvador Allende clashed with the right-wing parties that controlled Congress and with the judiciary. On 11 September 1973, the military moved to oust Allende in a coup d'état. Marxist Salvador Allende's presidential branch effectively declared war on the judiciary and right-wing majority governed Congress branches. During the 1970 Chilean presidential election, both the United States and the Soviet Union poured money into this election through their intelligence agencies and other sources. 💰KGB money was more precisely targeted. Allende made a personal request for Soviet money through his personal contact, KGB officer Svyatoslav Kuznetsov, who urgently came to Chile from Mexico City to help Allende. The original allocation of money for these elections through the KGB was $400,000, and an additional personal subsidy of $50,000 directly to Allende.[8] It is believed that help from KGB was a decisive factor, because Allende won by a narrow margin of 39,000 votes of a total of the 3 million cast. After the elections, the KGB director Yuri Andropov obtained permission for additional money and other resources from the Central Committee of the CPSU to ensure Allende victory in Congress. In his request on 24 October, he stated that KGB "will carry out measures designed to promote the consolidation of Allende's victory and his election to the post of President of the country". --------------- In your argument's summary, the USSR-supported regime change intervention is okay while the US intervention is bad. Your argument is hypocritical. USSR's proxy attempted to remove Chile's check-and-balance Congress system. USSR's proxy attempted to concentrate political power into a single entity (individual and political party).

  13888. XI's China has modern-day territorial disputes based on Imperial China's Ten Great Campaigns. The Ten Great Campaigns (Chinese: 十全武功; pinyin: Shíquán Wǔgōng) were a series of military campaigns launched by the Qing dynasty of China in the mid–late 18th century during the reign of the Qianlong Emperor (r. 1735–1796). They included three to enlarge the area of Qing control in Inner Asia: two against the Dzungars (1755–1757) and the "pacification" of Xinjiang (1758–1759). The other seven campaigns were more in the nature of police actions on frontiers already established: two wars to suppress the Gyalrong of Jinchuan, Sichuan, another to suppress the Taiwanese Aboriginals (1787–88), and four expeditions abroad against the Burmese (1765–1769), the Vietnamese (1788–1789), and the Gurkhas on the border between Tibet and Nepal (1790–1792), with the last counting as two. President Xi's argument is based on historical Imperial China's Ten Great Campaigns. Territorial disputes around Xi's China are based on Imperial China's Ten Great Campaigns. During the 4th Sino-Burmese Wars starting in 1768, Imperial China invaded the Kingdom of Burma. Burma hired European musketeers and gunners, hence Burma allied itself with the rising French Empire against Imperial China's invasion. Imperial China is an imperialist power that led to engagement with other powers.

Your arguments on Trump tax return is a red herring. From http://ec.europa.eu/trade/policy/countries-and-regions/countries/china/ When China joined the WTO in 2001 it agreed to reform and liberalise important parts of its economy. While China has made progress, some problems remain: a lack of transparency industrial policies and non-tariff measures that discriminate against foreign companies strong government intervention in the economy, resulting in a dominant position of state-owned firms, unequal access to subsidies and cheap financing poor protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights In 2016 the EU adopted a new strategy on China mapping out the European Union's relationship with China for the next five years. *The Strategy promotes reciprocity*, a level playing field and fair competition across all areas of co-operation. The strategy also includes a trade agenda with a strong focus on improving market access opportunities – including negotiations on a Comprehensive Agreement on Investment. It also deals with overcapacity and calling on China to engage with ambition at multilateral level. -------- You're a hypocrite to single out Trump's "Make America Great Again" (reciprocal trade agreements) when other countries engages in their own "Made In XYZ country" programs

  13917. The Ten Great Campaigns (Chinese: 十全武功; pinyin: Shíquán Wǔgōng) were a series of military campaigns launched by the Qing dynasty of China in the mid–late 18th century during the reign of the Qianlong Emperor (r. 1735–1796). They included three to enlarge the area of Qing control in Inner Asia: two against the Dzungars (1755–1757) and the "pacification" of Xinjiang (1758–1759). The other seven campaigns were more in the nature of police actions on frontiers already established: two wars to suppress the Gyalrong of Jinchuan, Sichuan, another to suppress the Taiwanese Aboriginals (1787–88), and four expeditions abroad against the Burmese (1765–1769), the Vietnamese (1788–1789), and the Gurkhas on the border between Tibet and Nepal (1790–1792), with the last counting as two. President Xi's argument is based on historical Imperial China's Ten Great Campaigns (Chinese: 十全武功; pinyin: Shíquán Wǔgōng). China current's territorial dispute is based on Imperial China's Ten Great Campaigns. History is repeating itself. President Xi is not like the former CCP leaders. Paul "go and get a job Keating failed basic history.

The U.S. position on Taiwan’s international status is “undetermined” and in accordance with the outcome of the 1951-52 San Francisco Peace Treaty. In that treaty, Japan had formally ceded sovereignty over the island, but it was not decided to whom. Most countries at the 1951 Peace Conference argued that Taiwan’s status needed to be determined in due time, in accordance with the principle of self-determination enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations. Post-WW2, Taiwan and the Pescadores islands are not handed to CCP's China, and KMT is a foreign government in exile under the American occupation of Japanese Taiwan islands. In Taiwan, the KMT government was politically defeated by partly aboriginal Taiwanese Tsai Ing-wen Democratic Progressive Party.

  13926.  @kaneidareyue7715  >Taiwan though is a Chinese city that was taken by a losing side in a political civil war When KMT lost the civil war, Taiwan was an American occupation of Japanese Taiwan islands. The US tolerated the KMT government in exile in Taiwan. There are opposing views on the legality of the KMT takeover of Taiwan. The Chinese Communist government maintains to this day that the Republic of China in Taiwan is a province that must eventually return to rule by the mainland. According to an article published in 1955 on the legal status of Taiwan, "It has been charged that Chiang Kai-shek has no claim to the island because he is 'merely a fugitive quartering his army' there and besides, his is a government in exile." Moreover, the Treaty of San Francisco, which was officially signed by 48 nations on 8 September 1951, did not specify to whom Japan was ceding Taiwan and the Pescadores. Despite this, the ROC was viewed by the vast majority of states at the time as the legitimate representative of China, as it had succeeded the Qing Dynasty, while the PRC was at the time a mostly unrecognized state. Japan was, at the time of the signing of the Treaty of San Francisco, still technically under American occupation. After full independence, Japan established full relations with the ROC and not the PRC. According to Professor Gene Hsiao, "since the San Francisco Peace Treaty and the separate KMT treaty with Japan did not specify to whom Japan was ceding Taiwan and the Pescadores, the implication of the U.S. position was that legally, and insofar as the signatories of those two treaties were concerned, Taiwan became an 'ownerless' island and the KMT, by its own assent to the American policy, a foreign government-in-exile." Technically, KMT is a foreign government in exile under the American occupation of Japanese Taiwan islands. President Xi's claims over Taiwan follow Imperial China's imperialist Ten Great Campaigns. Imperial China's Ten Great Campaigns' Taiwan conquest phase wasn't completed on the eve of the 1894 Sino-Japanese War.

In the months prior to the Vilnius summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin engaged in a trade war with Kiev, blocking nearly all imports from Ukraine and cutting energy supplies to the country. In turn, this reduced Ukrainian exports by 25 percent and shrank the economy by 1.5 percent. ------ Victoria Nuland herself doesn't have the power, but about 73% of the MPs—voted to "remove Viktor Yanukovych from the post of president of Ukraine" has the power.

The US supplied 24% (4.2 Bcm) of the EU’s overall LNG imports (17 Bcm in Q1 2021); Russia placed second at 21% (3.7 Bcm); and Qatar was third at 18% (3.1 Bcm), the EU Commission reported in early July. When compared to Q4 2020, the US picked up 2% market share from January to March this year, while Russia bested Qatar to become Europe’s second-largest LNG supplier. Nigeria placed fourth, followed by Algeria and Trinidad and Tobago. A review of EU Commission reports dating back to 2019 reveals a steady quarter-to-quarter decline in Europe’s LNG purchases while it also documents the growing rivalry between the US and Russia, Qatar’s fall from dominance, and the emergence of the US as Europe’s top LNG supplier starting Q4 2019. The EU is the world’s third-largest LNG market, though its imports amounted to only about half that of Japan (36 Bcm) and China (32 Bcm) in Q1 2021. European gas consumption rose 7.6% to 132 Bcm in Q1 based on a year-on-year comparison.

CF Industries Holdings (CF.N) is increasing fertilizer shipments to both U.S. coasts from the world's largest nitrogen complex in Louisiana to help offset a decline in exports from Russia after it invaded Ukraine, Chief Executive Tony Will said. Global fertilizer supplies have tightened and prices have increased from already high levels as sanctions bite Russia and its ally Belarus. read more Nitrogen fertilizer is one of the most commonly used fertilizers to boost production of corn, canola and other crops. Illinois-based CF Industries leased several vessels to transport more fertilizer, mostly liquid nitrogen, from its complex in Donaldsonville, Louisiana, Will told Reuters. The company can ship products up the Mississippi River to the Midwest and load vessels to sail downriver through the Gulf of Mexico to tanks on either coast. "Historically a fair bit of Russian imports have come particularly to the East Coast, and we're trying to make up for that lack of availability by moving our tons over there," Will said. CF Industries has five U.S. nitrogen manufacturing complexes, along with plants in Canada and the United Kingdom. The company's ability to increase production is limited because it tries to operate plants at their maximum rate all year, Will said. "We're moving as much product as we can right now with the assets that we have available," he said.

  13957.  @chriswilson3009  From ANKARA Poland is ready to fully cease Russian gas supplies as it has alternative energy sources, an energy analyst from the Jagiellonian Institute in Poland, Wojciech Jakobik, said Thursday. Jakobik, who is also the editor of Biznesalert, a prized source on key energy and infrastructure issues in Poland told Anadolu Agency that Bulgaria can also do without Russian gas with EU support as echoed by the European Commission. "This is something the European Commission has been preparing for, in close coordination and solidarity with Member States and international partners," European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on Wednesday. "This shows first of all the immense solidarity among us but it also shows the effectiveness of past investments, for example in interconnectors and other gas infrastructure. The Commission will also intensify its work with the so-called regional groups of Member States, that can provide the most immediate solidarity to each other. This will mitigate any impacts on possible gas disruptions," he noted. He further confirmed that work would continue to ensure sufficient gas supply and storage in the medium term. "Our action plan REPowerEU will help to significantly reduce our dependency on Russian fossil fuels already this year," he said. Jakobik explained that Poland is capable of replacing half of its import needs from Russia through other sources. "Poland uses 20 billion cubic meters per year and had imported up to 10 billion cubic meters. It is capable of importing all its needs through LNG terminals and from its neighbors. Soon it will be ready to import more through the Baltic Pipe from Norway and LNG from Lithuania," he noted. Nonetheless, Jakobik envisages that there could be gas usage limitations in Europe in the autumn to guarantee security of supply. He recommended that the EU continue to work to secure supplies in the likelihood of a total gas cut-off from Russia.

If there was ever a time for Russia to cut off gas supplies to Poland and Bulgaria, spring was probably ideal as consumers are unlikely to feel the impact at home — but the race is now on to find alternatives for industry and before the cold returns. Authorities in both countries have also struck a reassuring note with Bulgaria's Prime Minister, Kiril Petkov, lauding the planned upcoming completion of the Gas Interconnector Greece-Bulgaria (IGB), which will bring mostly Azeri gas to the country.

  13959.  @thehturt5480  EU looks to US, Qatar, South Korea... The EU vowed to slash its imports of Russian gas by two-thirds by the end of the year, two weeks after Moscow launched its military attack against Ukraine. It then struck a deal with Washington late last month for the US to up its deliveries of liquified natural gas by 15 billion cubic metres this year to mitigate the loss of gas from Russia. The US is then expected to supply another 50 billion cubic metres of LNG until 2030. Brussels has also pledged to accelerate investments to diversify, including in renewables but also in terminals that can accommodate LNG deliveries from countries including Qatar, South Korea, and Israel. These can later be repurposed for hydrogen, which the EU has made a key component of its transition and ambition to become the first carbon-neutral continent by 2050. In an address to reporters on Wednesday, von der Leyen reiterated that the bloc is working to "secure alternative gas supplies from other partners", flagging that the Gazprom decision is "a stark reminder that we need to work with reliable partners." According to the Commission, the EU has the potential to import a further 50 billion cubic metres of LNG on a yearly basis. ------

The rest is covered by an LNG terminal capable of importing 6.5bcm and domestic production of about 3.8bcm.

CONSTITUTION OF UKRAINE Adopted at the Fifth Session of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on 28 June 1996 Article 17 The location of foreign military bases shall not be permitted on the territory of Ukraine. Yanukovych breached the Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17. After 2017, Ukraine's constitution is incompatible with foreign military bases hosting either NATO or CSTO. If Yanukovych didn't sign the military base rental extension, Russia would be kicked out of Crimea. Putin's narrative is FALSE. Putin's pressure caused Yanukovych to make a mistake.

"It’s certain that Ukraine was and will be non-aligned state… We strive neither to join NATO nor the [CIS]CSTO [Collective Security Treaty Organization]. We’ll maintain a neutral status," Yanukovych said in an interview with the Komsomolskaya Pravda in Ukraine newspaper. -------- The trigger for Euromaidan was Yanukovych initiated non-neutrality policies such as joining a trade block instead of executing Switzerland-style neutrality. UK leaving the EU and joining CPTPP proves freedom of association. Before Euromaidan, Russia, however, has successfully used political and economic leverage to dissuade Ukraine from signing the E.U. deal. In the months prior to the Vilnius summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin engaged in a trade war with Kiev, blocking nearly all imports from Ukraine and cutting energy supplies to the country. In turn, this reduced Ukrainian exports by 25 percent and shrank the economy by 1.5 percent. Some trade background for the context From Tradebarrier Index (lower score = less trade barriers) New Zealand's tariff score is 2.92 Australia's tariff score is 3.03 UK's tariff score is 3.94 (after Brexit) Japan's tariff score is 4.05 US's tariff score is 4.54 Germany's tariff score is 4.88 EU's tariff score is 4.88 Russia's tariff score is 6.16 <-------- China's tariff score is 6.8 <------ Russia wants to maintain its higher trade protectionist policies.

Australia is considering supplying extra liquefied natural gas (LNG) to Europe after the US and the UK raised fears the continent’s reliance on Russia makes it vulnerable in a growing standoff with Vladimir Putin. A senior Biden administration official revealed the US was also “looking at the global flow of LNG – whether it’s from the United States or from Australia or from other places”. Qatar is also part of the energy supply talks. The official said Russia had already restricted the flow of gas through the pipeline running through Ukraine from about 100m cubic metres a day to 50m. The Australian resources minister, Keith Pitt, said Australia was “a leading and reliable global exporter of LNG” and “stands ready to assist with any request for further supplies”. “This shows how important Australian resources are to energy supplies around the world,” Pitt said in a statement. From The World Factbook Top natural gas exporters in m3/year (estimates) in 2020 1. Russia = 199,928,345,000 2. United States = 149,538,000,000 3. Qatar = 143,700,000,000 4.

Design drawings dated 1967 show detail design layouts. The first nozzle was built and tested on a Pratt & Whitney JT8D in the mid 1960s. The tests included operating the nozzle in full afterburner with the nozzle deflected ninety degrees. The test rig was positioned to exhaust upward to avoid heating the ground under the test stand, though subsequent tests positioned the nozzle downward at the ground to assess the effects of ground proximity back pressure on nozzle performance. ---- USA patent 1967 https://www.google.com/patents/US3429509 ---- Facts from Lockheed’s codeone magazine http://www.codeonemagazine.com/article.html?item_id=137 A great deal of misinformation has appeared on the Internet regarding the relationship of the Soviet Yak-41 (later Yak-141), NATO reporting name Freestyle, to the X-35 and the rest of the JSF program. The Pratt & Whitney 3BSD nozzle design predates the Russian work. In fact the 3BSD was tested with a real engine almost twenty years before the first flight of the Yak. Yakovlev was looking for money to keep its VTOL program alive, not having received any orders for a production version of the Yak-141. Lockheed provided a small amount of funding in return for obtaining performance data and limited design data on the Yak-141. US government personnel were allowed to examine the aircraft. *However, the 3BSN design was already in place on the X-35 before these visits*. ------ YAK copied the same flawed two forward hot engine cores design from Convair Model 200. F--35 has shaft-driven cool air stream forward lift fan. https://history.nasa.gov/SP-468/ch10-4.htm During F-14 design phase, look at Figure 10. 11, notice NASA's concept design in regards to the engine and horizontal tail design and F-35's tail design. https://history.nasa.gov/SP-468/p256.jpg The above picture is one of many F-14 study models which is before Yak 141. https://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/casi.ntrs.nasa.gov/19780008057.pdf https://crgis.ndc.nasa.gov/historic/File:L-74-2684.jpg Notice NASA's LFAX-8 concept design in regards to the engine and horizontal tail design which reappeared with F-35 The above picture is one of many F-15 study models which is before Yak 141.

I have Lockheed Martin's official viewpoint against YAK 41 copied fake news. YAK DID NOT SOLVE THE FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEM WITH CONVAIR MODEL 200 i.e. forward hot air stream being ingested by the main engine which reduces engine thrust!

  14081. India and Pakistan were part of the Islamic Mughal Empire. Maratha Empire replaced the Mughal Empire. The Maratha Empire was founded in 1674 by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj the Bhosle dynasty. Shivaji Maharaj led resistance efforts to free the Hindus from the Mughals and the Muslim Sultanate of Bijapur and established the rule of the Hindus. The Maratha Empire soon allied with the British East India Company (based in the Bengal Presidency) against Mysore in the Anglo-Mysore Wars. After the British East India Company had suffered defeat against Mysore in the first two Anglo-Mysore Wars, the Maratha cavalry assisted the British in the last two Anglo-Mysore Wars from 1790 onwards, eventually helping the British conquer Mysore in the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War in 1799. After the British East India Company's conquest, however, the Marathas launched frequent raids in Mysore to plunder the region, which they justified as compensation for past losses to Tipu Sultan. Around 1775, the relationship between the British East India Company and Maratha Empire degraded into a hot war, which started with the British East India Company intervening in a succession struggle in Pune. The British Raj was the rule of the British Crown on the Indian subcontinent; it is also called Crown rule in India, or Direct rule in India, and lasted from 1858 to 1947.

Ukraine doesn't have nuclear weapons because it handed them over to Russia back in the 90's for an agreement with Russia... that agreement which Russia signed was a promise to NEVER invade Ukraine.

Scorpène has 6,500 nmi (12,000 km) at 8 kn (15 km/h; 9.2 mph) (NOISY surfaced). Attack class's displacement is higher due to extra fuel, AIP and battery packs, hence Attack-class has 18,000 nmi (33,000 km; 21,000 mi) at 10 kn (19 km/h; 12 mph) NOISY surfaced. Collins-class submarine with submerged 3,407 tonnes displacement has 480 nmi (890 km; 550 mi) at 4 kn (7.4 km/h; 4.6 mph) submerged. Collins has 9,000 nmi (17,000 km; 10,000 mi) range at 10 kn (19 km/h; 12 mph) periscope depth (semi-NOISY). Sōryū-class submarine (submerged 4,200 tons displacement) 's AIP endurance (est.): 6100 nautical miles (11297.2 km; 7060.75 miles) at 6.5 knots (12 km/h; 7.48 mp/h). Sōryū-class submarine's AIP is based on Swedish AIP designs. The submerged range difference between the Scorpène and Collins submarine designs is relatively minor. Most containerships are designed to travel at speeds around 24 knots. Attack class submarine will NOT solve silent mode short range and the capability for shadow escort at cargo ship's speed and range.

Since joining the WTO in 2001, China has repeatedly insisted that it will live up to those undertakings made on entry. In particular, the use of currency manipulation has been identified by the US as a breech of the commitment to end price controls for the purposes of protecting domestic industries. This became a major political issue from 2005 onwards, and has only recently subsided because it is assumed that the RMB is slightly overvalued on the market. Nevertheless, for years it was deliberate policy for the PBoC to accumulate US Dollars and suppress the exchange rate for the RMB, resulting in exactly the price distortions China had committed to eliminate in 2001, and fuelling an enormous trade surplus with the US, which persists and expands to this day. Furthermore TRIPS implementation has been given some effect on paper, but has made little progress when it comes to 'enforcement.' This is (according to the WTO) as recently as February 2015, fully 14 years after TRIPS was supposed to be already in effect. The US Trade Representative produces an annual report to Congress on China's WTO compliance which leaves little room to conclude they have so far lived up to their accession commitments. The most recent several-hundred-page document - produced in December 2015 - recites a long list of small measures, committees established, announcements made and new administrative complications faced, all continuing disputes over an agreement theoretically in effect since 2001. Although, therefore, protectionism is rising around the world, it is also true to say that existing practices of protectionism have not fallen in the way that they should have since China's accession to the WTO in 2001. Because of this lack of progress in easing trade, the extended period of currency manipulation, the lack of observance of TRIPS and the sheer administrative resistance exporters face when trying to get their products into China, we now face of world of highly unbalanced trade, and rising mistrust. And it is this that is leading to rising protectionism; the simple fact that it never went away. --------

F-35A's 43,000 lbf thrust is 1.50X scaled from F-16C's 28,600 lbf. F-35A's 45,000 lbf thrust upgrade road map is 1.57X scaled from F-16C's 28,600 lbf. F-35A needs at least 44,330 lbs thrust to preserve 1.55X scale factor There's a near-straight 1.5X scaling between F16C to F-35A on basic wing loading, engine thrust, and empty weight. F-35A's wing area is influenced by weight growth and F-16C's empty weight wing loading target. F-35A would need a minor engine upgrade to maintain 1.55X scaling.

The basic history. 1967: Six-Day War Six-Day War in Gaza Arab and Israeli forces clashed for the third time June 5–10, 1967, in what came to be called the Six-Day War (or June War). In early 1967 Syria intensified its bombardment of Israeli villages from positions in the Golan Heights. When the Israeli Air Force shot down six Syrian MiG fighter jets in reprisal, Nasser mobilized his forces near the Sinai border, dismissing the UN force there, and he again sought to blockade Elat. In May 1967 Egypt signed a mutual defense pact with Jordan. Israel answered this apparent Arab rush to war by staging a sudden air assault, destroying Egypt’s air force on the ground. The Israeli victory on the ground was also overwhelming. Israeli units drove back Syrian forces from the Golan Heights, took control of the Gaza Strip and the Sinai Peninsula from Egypt, and drove Jordanian forces from the West Bank. Importantly, the Israelis were left in sole control of Jerusalem. ------- Syria is the aggressor.

  14258.  @radiopete7290  Date: 22 Oct 2021 NSW Supreme Court dismisses challenges to vaccine mandates The Supreme Court of New South Wales has upheld a number of public health orders that require employees of particular industries to be vaccinated against COVID-19, dismissing challenges made by a number of health, aged care, education and construction workers in the State Background The spread of the Delta variant of COVID-19 caused lengthy lockdowns to be imposed across NSW, and the message conveyed by the NSW Government was that the only way out of lockdown would be through the mass vaccination of the eligible population. In addition to announcing that only fully vaccinated people would be able to enjoy additional freedoms when the state reopened, Health Minister Brad Hazard (“the Minister”) passed a number of public health orders (“the Orders”) which imposed requirements on workers in the health, aged care, education and construction industries, and additionally on workers that live in a Local Government Area (“LGA”) of concern and leave that LGA to perform authorised work, to be vaccinated against COVID-19 within various timeframes. The Orders require employers of such workers to obtain evidence of their workforce’s vaccination status, and prevent employers from offering work to employees that do not comply with the Orders. The Minister made these Orders under section 7(2) of the Public Health Act 2010 (“the PHA”), which empowers the Minister to make such directions to reduce or remove public health risks and to control movement to and from areas subject to public health risks. A total of ten workers across the health, aged care, education and construction industries, who had made the choice not to get vaccinated, challenged the validity of the Orders in the Supreme Court of New South Wales (“the Court”). The challenges were heard together, and the Court published its decision in the single judgment of Kassam v Hazzard; Henry v Hazzard [2021] NSWSC 1320 (“the Decision”) on 15 October 2021. The Orders In the context of the 107-day lockdown imposed on the Greater Sydney Area and countless regional lockdowns across NSW, the Minister implemented a number of public health orders under the PHA, including the following: Public Health (COVID-19 Additional Restrictions for Delta Outbreak) Order (No 2) – which provided that an authorised worker that lived in an LGA of concern must have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine by 30 August 2021, and that construction workers must have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine by 23 September 2021; Public Health (COVID–19 Care Services) Order 2021– which provides that aged care workers must have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine by 17 September 2021, and be fully vaccinated by 31 October 2021; Public Health (COVID–19 Vaccination of Education and Care Workers) Order 2021 (– which provides that education workers must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by 8 November 2021; and Public Health (COVID-19 Vaccination of Health Care Workers) Order 2021 – which provides that healthcare workers must have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine by 30 September 2021, and be fully vaccinated by 30 November 2021. While the first of these Orders has now been repealed due to the Government lifting additional restrictions on LGAs of concern, the remainder are still in effect. Each of the Orders require that employers in these industries must collect and maintain a record of the vaccination status of their employees. Section 10 of the PHA prescribes that it is an offence to fail to comply with a public health order; and penalties for non-compliance include fines of up to $11,000 or six months’ imprisonment for individuals or $55,000 fines for corporations, plus additional fines for repeated non-compliance. This means that both employees and employers that do not comply with the Orders may face punishment. The Plaintiffs’ Arguments The plaintiffs that disputed the Orders made a number of arguments as to why they thought the Orders were invalid and should be quashed by the Court. The reasons put forward by the plaintiffs were as follows: The Minister did not undertake any real exercise of power in making the Orders; The Orders are an unreasonable exercise of the power of section 7 of the PHA because of the effect on the right to bodily autonomy of workers that did not wish to be vaccinated; The Orders confer powers on police officers that are inconsistent with the Law Enforcement (Powers and Responsibilities) Act 2002 (NSW); The Orders, and section 7 of the PHA, must be rendered invalid as they are inconsistent with section 51(xxxiiiA) of the Constitution (which prevents states from creating laws that have the effect of imposing a civil conscription on its citizens); The Minister failed to have regard to various relevant considerations, and failed to afford the plaintiffs natural justice when introducing the Orders; and/or The Orders are inconsistent with the Australian Immunisation Register Act 2015 (Cth) and are therefore invalid under section 109 of the Constitution (which prescribes that any State law which is inconsistent with Federal law shall be invalid). The plaintiff’s argument was heavily reliant on questioning the appropriateness of vaccinations, and reflected their general objections to receiving a COVID-19 vaccine. Principally, the plaintiffs contended that the Orders interfere with a person’s right to bodily integrity, and relied on evidence that supported alternative treatments, questioned the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines, downplayed the severity of COVID-19, and asserted that COVID-19 vaccines are “experimental”. The Decision The Court rejected each argument put forward by the plaintiffs and dismissed the Proceedings. Justice Beech-Jones made the following findings with respect to the plaintiffs’ arguments: Section 7(2) of the PHA clearly authorises significant limitations on freedom of movement in the context of a public health risk, and the Minister acted within the powers vested by this section; The Orders do not violate any right to bodily integrity as they do not authorise that anyone be involuntarily vaccinated; rather, they restrict a person’s freedom of movement to varying levels dependent on whether that person is vaccinated or unvaccinated; The powers vested on police officers with respect to enforcing the Orders are not inconsistent with other State legislation; The Orders are not inconsistent with any provision of the Constitution; No duty to afford procedural fairness arose in the circumstances that the Orders were made, as the Orders affect a very wide class of persons; and The Orders are not inconsistent with any provision of Federal legislation. His Honour further noted that it was not the role of the Court to “conclusively resolve legitimate debates concerning the appropriate treatments for COVID-19 or the effectiveness of the vaccines”, and that such considerations are “matters of merits, policy and fact for the decision-maker” – in this case the Minister. As such, the plaintiffs’ evidence that generally questioned the efficacy and utility of COVID-19 vaccines was of little relevance to the Decision. ------------------------- Again, prove your argument in court in front of the judge!

Paul Keating's Labor government changed it to the 26th of January with a public holiday in 1994. This is yet another Labor party-created social landmine. Paul Keating's Australia Day is actually NSW Day since the current Australian Federation wasn't established until 1 January 1901, passing the 1898-1899 referendums, and the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act 1900 (UK) was passed on 5 July 1900.

On the eve of the 1894 Sino-Japanese War, about 45 percent of the island was administered under the direct Qing administration (Imperial China) while the remaining was populated by Aborigines. Qing's Imperial China didn't have full control over Taiwan's island. A significant number of Taiwan's population are Ming loyalists (defeated by Qing) and Republic of China refugees (defeated by CCP). The current Taiwanese president is partly aboriginal hence the reason why She doesn't recognize mainland China's claim over the Island of Taiwan.

  14274. Dutch East India Company (VOC) arrived in Taiwan in 1623. The VOC administered the island and its predominantly aboriginal population until 1662, setting up a tax system, schools to teach romanized script of Taiwanese aboriginal languages. In 1661, a naval (refugee) fleet led by the Ming loyalist Koxinga arrived in Taiwan to oust the Dutch from Zeelandia (Taiwan) and establish a pro-Ming base in Taiwan. Koxinga was born to Zheng Zhilong, a Chinese merchant and pirate, and Tagawa Matsu, a Japanese woman, in 1624 in Hirado, Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan.

In that treaty, Japan had formally ceded sovereignty over the island, but it was not decided to whom. Most countries at the 1951 Peace Conference argued that Taiwan’s status needed to be determined in due time, in accordance with the principle of self-determination enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations.

  14332.  @oliver6224  Fact: China's conquest of Taiwan existed as part of Qing's Imperial China's executing its imperialist Ten Great Campaigns with Taiwan was one of many conquest targets when it was countered by Imperial Japan. This issue existed before the US being a superpower. U.S.-China Joint Communiques (Shanghai Communiqué) are irrelevant since this unelected Henry Kissinger / Richard Nixon initiative didn't pass US Congress. US Congress's "Taiwan Relations Act" is a legislative bill against Jimmy Carter's unilaterally termination of the US Congress-passed Sino-American Mutual Defense Treaty (SAMDT), a defense pact signed between the United States and the Republic of China (Taiwan) effective from 1955 to 1980. US Congress House speaker is effectively a Prime Minster position. The US Congress House speaker is the leader of the governing political party that can formulate legislative bills just like any other Commonwealth countries' Prime Minster's governing political party. The US President has Executive Order and veto powers which US Congress can override by passing the act by a two-thirds vote in both the House and the Senate. Taiwan Relations Act does NOT recognize the terminology of the "Republic of China" but used "governing authorities on Taiwan". The US Congress The Taiwan Relations Act provides for Taiwan to be treated under U.S. laws the same as "foreign countries, nations, states, governments, or similar entities", thus treating Taiwan as a sub-sovereign foreign state equivalent. The US supports the "One China" policy with Taiwan not being not part of PRC. The "Six Assurances" to Taiwan (under the Reagan administration) 1. The United States would not set a date for termination of arms sales to Taiwan. 2. The United States would not alter the terms of the Taiwan Relations Act. 3. The United States would not consult with China in advance before making decisions about U.S. arms sales to Taiwan. 4. The United States would not mediate between Taiwan and China. 5. The United States would not alter its position about the sovereignty of Taiwan which was, that the question was one to be decided peacefully by the Chinese themselves, and would not pressure Taiwan to enter into negotiations with China. 6. The United States would not formally recognize Chinese sovereignty over Taiwan.

Resolution 2758 solved the issue of "China's representation" in the United Nations, but it left the issue of Taiwan's representation unresolved in a practical sense. Chiang Kai-shek's KMT (Chinese nationalist) party later lost political power to the Tawainese nationalist. This is an echo from Imperialist Manchus Qing's Imperial China didn't fully control Taiwan. On the eve of the 1894 Sino-Japanese War, about 45 percent of the island was administered under the Manchus Qing administration (Imperial China) while the remaining was populated by Taiwanese aborigines.

It was mostly US's naval firepower that destroyed Imperial Japan's naval power. 2. Against Cairo Declaration. Refer to Chiang Kai-Shek Supplementing The Act Of Surrender 1945 excluded Manchuria, Formosa, and French Indo-China north of 16 degrees of north latitude. Order Of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek Supplementing The Act Of Surrender 1945 This is order No. 1 of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek to the Japanese forces in China, excluding Manchuria, Formosa, and French Indo-China north of 16 degrees of north latitude, which were surrendered under the act of 9 September 1945. This order supplements the acts of surrender to the Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers and his General Order No. 1. ----- There are opposing views on the legality of the KMT takeover of Taiwan. The Chinese Communist government maintains to this day that the Republic of China on Taiwan is a province that must eventually return to rule by the mainland. According to an article published in 1955 on the legal status of Taiwan, "It has been charged that Chiang Kai-shek has no claim to the island because he is 'merely a fugitive quartering his army' there and besides, his is a government in exile." Moreover, the Treaty of San Francisco, which was officially signed by 48 nations on 8 September 1951, did not specify to whom Japan was ceding Taiwan and the Pescadores. Despite this, the ROC was viewed by the vast majority of states at the time as the legitimate representative of China, as it had succeeded the Qing Dynasty, while the PRC was at the time a mostly unrecognized state. Japan was, at the time of the signing of the Treaty of San Francisco, still technically under American occupation. After full independence, Japan established full relations with the ROC and not the PRC. According to Professor Gene Hsiao, "since the San Francisco Peace Treaty and the separate KMT treaty with Japan did not specify to whom Japan was ceding Taiwan and the Pescadores, the implication of the U.S. position was that legally, and insofar as the signatories of those two treaties were concerned, Taiwan became an 'ownerless' island and the KMT, by its own assent to the American policy, a foreign government-in-exile." Technically, KMT is a foreign government in exile under the American occupation of Japanese Taiwan islands.

  14348.  sam sam  What Is The Truth The Legal Status of Formosa (Taiwan) Is Independent Historically, Taiwan belongs to Taiwanese people as said above, all regimes appeared in the history of this island so far are predators. Taiwan is neither a part of Qing or the Republic of China nor a part of Dutch or Japan. Legally, Taiwan independence was determined in 1945 by the United Nations by adopting Charters 77 and 76, which was signed by China and most of the states in the world. The basic document China used to claim the title of Taiwan was the so-called Cairo Declaration, but it was not signed. Even if it were singed, the phrase “Formosa and the Pescadores shall be restored to the Republic of China” was completely against the Atlantic Charter signed by China itself, So, both in history and by law, China’s claims are void That Taiwan is a part of China is nothing but an excuse for China to invade Taiwan. All the legal documents and events related are presented and summarized with comments below:
    1
  14349.  sam sam  Taiwanese indigenous peoples are Austronesians, with linguistic and cultural ties to other Austronesian peoples in the region. Taiwan is also the origin and linguistic homeland of the oceanic Austronesian expansion whose descendant groups today include the majority of the ethnic groups throughout many parts of East and Southeast Asia as well as Oceania such as Brunei, East Timor, Indonesia, Malaysia, Madagascar, Philippines, Micronesia, Island Melanesia and Polynesia. The Chams and Utsul of contemporary central and southern Vietnam and Hainan respectively are also a part of the Austronesian family. ----- April 8, 2023 (Reuters) - Malaysia said on Saturday it was firmly committed to protecting its sovereign rights and interests in the South China Sea after China expressed concern about Malaysian energy projects in a part of the sea that China also claims. Austronesian majority countries should gang up against China's imperialist action. The Austronesian population is more than 386 million.

  14351.  @GenghisX999  >” west enrich the 1% and sow chaos and war throughout the world. FALSE. The Chile example, USSR has supported its Cuban proxy that in turn supported Marxist Salvador Allende. You're a hypocrite. Marxist Salvador Allende clashed with the right-wing parties that controlled Congress and with the judiciary. On 11 September 1973, the military moved to oust Allende in a coup d'état. Marxist Salvador Allende's presidential branch effectively declared war on the judiciary and right-wing majority governed Congress branches. During the 1970 Chilean presidential election, both the United States and the Soviet Union poured money into this election through their intelligence agencies and other sources. 💰KGB money was more precisely targeted. Allende made a personal request for Soviet money through his personal contact, KGB officer Svyatoslav Kuznetsov, who urgently came to Chile from Mexico City to help Allende. The original allocation of money for these elections through the KGB was $400,000, and an additional personal subsidy of $50,000 directly to Allende.[8] It is believed that help from KGB was a decisive factor, because Allende won by a narrow margin of 39,000 votes of a total of the 3 million cast. After the elections, the KGB director Yuri Andropov obtained permission for additional money and other resources from the Central Committee of the CPSU to ensure Allende victory in Congress. In his request on 24 October, he stated that KGB "will carry out measures designed to promote the consolidation of Allende's victory and his election to the post of President of the country". --------------- In your argument's summary, the USSR-supported regime change intervention is okay while the US intervention is bad. Your argument is hypocritical. USSR's proxy attempted to remove Chile's check-and-balance Congress system. USSR's proxy attempted to concentrate political power into a single entity (individual and political party). The US has no problems with the Swedish-style nanny market led-socialism that is practiced in the CANZUK and Nordic groups.

  14355.  @DancingTWsFrogs  1. Historical facts: On the eve of the 1894 Sino-Japanese War, about 45 percent of the island was administered under the Manchus Qing administration (Imperial China) while the remaining was populated by Taiwanese aborigines. The Treaty of Shimonoseki is meaningless for the independent Republic of Formosa, hence the reason for Imperial Japan's kinetic war against the independent Republic of Formosa and the native Taiwanese tribal authorities. Qing's Imperial China couldn't enforce the Treaty of Shimonosek on the independent Republic of Formosa and the native Taiwanese tribal authorities. Qing's Imperial China did NOT have control over the independent Republic of Formosa and the native Taiwanese population. 2. 1972 Shanghai Communiqué has a condition i.e. peaceful settlement of the Taiwan question. If CPC initiates a hot war against Taiwan, it's CPC that will break the Shanghai Communiqué's commitment. ------ If CPC wants to revert back to Qing's Imperial China's Ten Great Campaigns foreign policy and execute it, then a small nation with nuclear-armed can cause disproportionate damage to a larger country. It was the US who told Taiwan to remove its nuclear weapons program. My argument position is to remove all US initiatives that stop US allies' nuclear weapons programs i.e. I want to see US security assurances and treaties fail. Attack Taiwan, DO IT! There's a reason why countries like Australia are getting closer to nuclear-armed state status and demands from SK and JP for nuclear-armed readiness. Removing "rules-based order" will lead to many nuclear weapons armed states.

In the months prior to the Vilnius summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin engaged in a trade war with Kyiv, blocking nearly all imports from Ukraine and cutting energy supplies to the country. In turn, this reduced Ukrainian exports by 25 percent and shrank the economy by 1.5 percent. Ukraine Constitution 1991, Article 17, disallows foreign military bases after 2017. According to former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, Ukraine's constitution forbids the country from hosting foreign military bases after 2017. Yanukovych breached the Ukraine Constitution 1991, Article 17. After 2017, Ukraine's constitution is incompatible with foreign military bases hosting either NATO or CSTO. In 2018, President Petro Poroshenko's constitution amendment allowed temporary foreign military bases.

Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum context, Russia, the US, and the UK confirmed their Ukraine becoming parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and effectively abandoning their nuclear arsenal to Russia and that they would: 1. Respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders. 2. Refrain from the threat or the use of force against Ukraine. 3. Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine to influence their politics. 4. Seek immediate Security Council action to provide assistance to Ukraine if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used". 5. Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against Ukraine. 6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments. China and France gave somewhat weaker individual assurances in separate documents. US and UK are fulfilling points 4 and 6 in accordance with Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum. Budapest Memorandum's security assurances are weaker than NATO's Article V and EU's Article 42.7. Are you arguing for the UK to abandon the Budapest Memorandum?

  14428.  @toxicelamain2494  Poland has support from the United Kingdom and the United States (hint: large-scale US natural gas imports into the EU is via Polish LNG terminals). When hydrocarbon issues are involved, the US has a higher active interest e.g. U.S. military brought the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit to Limassol, Cyprus, on the USS Iwo Jima LHD flattop as Exxon Mobil commenced exploratory drilling in the region. USS Iwo Jima has F-35B on board. US self-interest trumps Turkey's. United Kingdom, Poland, and Ukraine have signed a security pact independent of NATO. ----- The United States remained Europe’s top supplier of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in the first 3 months of 2021 as it continued to gain market share at the expense of Russia and Qatar, Europe’s second- and third-largest sources of LNG, according to the EU Commission’s latest European Gas Market Report. The US supplied 24% (4.2 Bcm) of the EU’s overall LNG imports (17 Bcm in Q1 2021); Russia placed second at 21% (3.7 Bcm); and Qatar was third at 18% (3.1 Bcm), the EU Commission reported in early July. When compared to Q4 2020, the US picked up 2% market share from January to March this year, while Russia bested Qatar to become Europe’s second-largest LNG supplier. Nigeria placed fourth, followed by Algeria and Trinidad and Tobago. A review of EU Commission reports dating back to 2019 reveals a steady quarter-to-quarter decline in Europe’s LNG purchases while it also documents the growing rivalry between the US and Russia, Qatar’s fall from dominance, and the emergence of the US as Europe’s top LNG supplier starting Q4 2019. The EU is the world’s third-largest LNG market, though its imports amounted to only about half that of Japan (36 Bcm) and China (32 Bcm) in Q1 2021. European gas consumption rose 7.6% to 132 Bcm in Q1 based on a year-on-year comparison. The commission noted that demand for gas as fuel to generate electricity rose 3.4%, also year-on-year (increasing by 4.9 TWh.) ------ Spain is not dependent on Russian gas since the majority of its gas supplies are from Algeria and Morocco via the Maghreb-Europe gas pipeline (MGE) The UK is not dependent on Russian natural gas, making up less than 4% of our supply. Ministers are also exploring options to reduce this further. The Prime Minister confirmed that the government will set out an energy strategy to set out the UK’s long-term plans for greater energy security, including both renewable and domestic oil and gas supplies.

  14431.  @ciseaux  Australian coal and US LNG are shipped to Poland. From US EIA. In 2021, a large share of Europe’s supply of liquefied natural gas (LNG) originated in the United States, Qatar, and Russia. Combined, these three countries accounted for almost 70% of Europe’s total LNG imports, according to data by CEDIGAZ. The United States became Europe’s largest source of LNG in 2021, accounting for 26% of all LNG imported by European Union member countries (EU-27) and the United Kingdom (UK), followed by Qatar with 24%, and Russia with 20%. In January 2022, the United States supplied more than half of all LNG imports into Europe for the month.

  14464. ​ @NM_1814  The British can't solve pre-existing cultural issues. India and Pakistan were part of the Islamic Mughal empire. Maratha Empire replaced the Mughal Empire. The Maratha Empire was founded in 1674 by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj the Bhosle dynasty. Shivaji Maharaj led resistance efforts to free the Hindus from the Mughals and the Muslim Sultanate of Bijapur and established the rule of the Hindus. The Maratha Empire soon allied with the British East India Company (based in the Bengal Presidency) against Mysore in the Anglo-Mysore Wars. After the British East India Company had suffered defeat against Mysore in the first two Anglo-Mysore Wars, the Maratha cavalry assisted the British in the last two Anglo-Mysore Wars from 1790 onwards, eventually helping the British conquer Mysore in the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War in 1799. After the British East India Company's conquest, however, the Marathas launched frequent raids in Mysore to plunder the region, which they justified as compensation for past losses to Tipu Sultan. Around 1775, the relationship between the British East India Company and Maratha Empire degraded into a hot war, which started by the British East India Company intervening in a succession struggle in Pune. The British Raj was the rule of the British Crown on the Indian subcontinent; it is also called Crown rule in India, or Direct rule in India, and lasted from 1858 to 1947.

By RNoAF test pilot Morten Hanche. For the Libya strike operation example, operating from Crete, F-16 typically had to refuel several times - the F-35A would have done the whole mission without mid-air refueling.

  14543. Australia's One China policy is based on Jim Carter's One China policy. Q1: What is the U.S. “One China” policy? Why does it exist? A1: When the United States moved to recognize the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and de-recognize the Republic of China (ROC) in 1979, the United States stated that the government of the People’s Republic of China was “the sole legal Government of China.” Sole, meaning the PRC was and is the only China, with no consideration of the ROC as a separate sovereign entity. The United States did not, however, give in to Chinese demands that it recognize Chinese sovereignty over Taiwan (which is the name preferred by the United States since it opted to de-recognize the ROC). Instead, Washington acknowledged the Chinese position that Taiwan was part of China. For geopolitical reasons, both the United States and the PRC were willing to go forward with diplomatic recognition despite their differences on this matter. When China attempted to change the Chinese text from the original acknowledge to recognize, Deputy Secretary of State Warren Christopher told a Senate hearing questioner, “[W]e regard the English text as being the binding text. We regard the word ‘acknowledge’ as being the word that is determinative for the U.S.” In the August 17, 1982, U.S.-China Communique, the United States went one step further, stating that it had no intention of pursuing a policy of “two Chinas” or “one China, one Taiwan.” Q2: What is the U.S. position on who has sovereignty over Taiwan? A2: In the San Francisco Treaty of Peace of 1951, Japan renounced “all right, title and claim to Formosa and the Pescadores.” Neither the Republic of China nor the People’s Republic of China were parties to the treaty, and thus neither was declared a beneficiary of the Japanese renouncement. While President Richard Nixon’s private notes show him willing to recognize the status of Taiwan as determined and part of China, subsequent U.S. documents and statements show the United States as having no position on the Taiwan sovereignty question. The U.S. position regarding sovereignty over Taiwan remains steady and consistent with its “one China policy”: both sides of the Taiwan Strait should mutually and peacefully agree to a resolution of this as yet unsettled issue.

External missiles equipped F-35B (only external missile significantly contribute to the total RCS) will still have less RCS than similar equipped SU-33 (both aircraft and missile significantly contribute to the total RCS). Furthermore (against your standard high frequency radars comments), Lockheed Martin Corporation's year 2010 stealth fiber material patent which covers more than standard high frequency radars http://www.google.com/patents/US20100271253#v=onepage&q&f=false SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In some aspects, embodiments disclosed herein relate to a radar absorbing composite that includes a (CNT)-infused fiber material disposed in at least a portion of a matrix material. The composite is capable of absorbing radar in a frequency range from between about 0.10 Megahertz to about 60 Gigahertz. The CNT-infused fiber material forms a first layer that reduces radar reflectance and a second layer that dissipates the energy of the absorbed radar. In the patent filing, LM made note on F-117's stealth problem and solution for it. LM's year 2010 stealth fiber material patent is effective from 0.1 MHz to 60 Ghz which is included all VHF, L-band, S-Band, X-band, Ku-band P-Band – 30-100 cm (1-0.3 GHz) L-Band – 15-30 cm (2-1 GHz) S-Band – 8-15 cm (4-2 GHz) C-Band – 4-8 cm (8-4 GHz) X-Band – 2.5-4 cm (12-8 GHz) K-Band – Ku: 1.7-2.5 cm (18-12 GHz); Ka-Band: 0.75-1.2 cm (40-27 GHz). F-117A was downed with VHF based radar. Lockheed Martin reveals F-35 to feature nanocomposite structures (ie. CNT) http://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/lockheed-martin-reveals-f-35-to-feature-nanocomposite-357223/ Lockheed Martin has revealed the F-35 Lightning II will be the first mass-produced aircraft to integrate structural nanocomposites in non-load bearing airframe components. A thermoset epoxy reinforced by carbon nanotubes will replace carbon fibre as the material used to produce F-35 wingtip fairings beginning with low rate initial production (LRIP)-4 aircraft, said Travis Earles, a manager for corporate nanotechnology initiatives. Meanwhile, the same carbon nanotube reinforced polymer (CNRP) material is being considered to replace about 100 components made with other composites or metals throughout the F-35's airframe, he said. The shift to CNRP as an airframe material has been anticipated ever since carbon nanotubes were discovered in 1991. It is widely considered one of the strongest materials ever invented - several times stronger than carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP), yet lighter by about 25-30%.

  14570.  @agb3762  Your narrative is wrong. Before Euromaidan, Russia successfully used political and economic leverage to dissuade Ukraine from signing the E.U. deal. In the months prior to the Vilnius summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin engaged in a trade war with Kyiv, blocking nearly all imports from Ukraine and cutting energy supplies to the country. In turn, this reduced Ukrainian exports by 25 percent and shrank the economy by 1.5 percent. Ukraine Constitution 1991, Article 17, disallows foreign military bases after 2017. According to former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, Ukraine's constitution forbids the country from hosting foreign military bases after 2017. Yanukovych breached the Ukraine Constitution 1991, Article 17. After 2017, Ukraine's constitution is incompatible with foreign military bases hosting either NATO or CSTO. In 2018, President Petro Poroshenko's constitution amendment allowed temporary foreign military bases. If Yanukovych didn't sign the military base rental extension, Russia would be kicked out of Crimea.

  14579.  @wionporky9937  The Maratha Empire (Maratha Confederacy) soon allied with the British East India Company (based in the Bengal Presidency) against Mysore in the Anglo-Mysore Wars. After the British East India Company had suffered defeat against Mysore in the first two Anglo-Mysore Wars, the Maratha cavalry assisted the British in the last two Anglo-Mysore Wars from 1790 onwards, eventually helping the British conquer Mysore in the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War in 1799. After the British East India Company's conquest, however, the Marathas launched frequent raids in Mysore to plunder the region, which they justified as compensation for past losses to Tipu Sultan. Around 1775, the relationship between the British East India Company and Maratha Empire degraded into a hot war, which started with the British East India Company intervening in a succession struggle in Pune. The British Raj was the rule of the British Crown on the Indian subcontinent; it is also called Crown rule in India, or Direct rule in India, and lasted from 1858 to 1947. ---- Maratha Empire and the British East India Company were partners until the succession struggle in Pune.

  14599.  @kiabtoomlauj6249  >a pure "wing" fighter jets exactly like the B-2/B-21 but with the maneuvering capability of today's top end fight jets is just NOT a realistic option. That's a flawed argument. 1. B-2 lacks a thrust vector feature for high AoA with high pitch rate control. This issue is not a problem for the NGAD concept designs. 2. Some NGAD concepts have folding canted vertical tails, giving the NGAD the mid-flight swing roles for enhanced stealth vs dogfighting modes. B-2 lack this feature. X-36 concept shows vertical tailless fighter design. Vector thrust differentiation can enhance the yaw (hammerhead) moment. 3. A large wing induces higher lift drag that degrades acceleration. Good fighter design is designed around a target engine design i.e. it's easy to add a large wing. B-2 has a very large wing with crap acceleration metrics. F-35C already has a large wing area with low wing loading that rivals F-22A's and F-15C's, but F-35C's engine thrust is underpowered for the given wing area. The NGAD comes with engine tech that is superior to F-35's 43,000 lbf engine design.

'When our envelope was cleared to practise BFM we got the opportunity to fight some fourth-generation fighters. Remember, back the rumors were that the F-35 was a pig. The first time the opponents showed up [in the training area] they had wing tanks along with a bunch of missiles. I guess they figured that being in a dirty configuration wouldn't really matter and that they would still easily outmanoeuvre us. By the end of the week, though, they had dropped their wing tanks, transitioned to a single centerline fuel tank and were still doing everything they could not to get gunned by us. A week later they stripped the jets clean of all external stores, which made the BFM fights interesting, to say the least ------ 1.

  14606.  @4dbullshitpatroll6  F-22A's rectangular with saw tooth exhaust nozzles are also for reducing IR and radar signature, but YF-23 is superior in this aspect. F-22A's thrust vector control enables higher pitch rates and improves AoA handling at higher altitudes with less air density.

Replace Super Hornet 8G with F-35A with better acceleration, better roll rates, and higher 9G.

  14637.  @GamerGuy760  Note that https://web.archive.org/web/20160311173046/asiapacificdefencereporter.com/articles/250/Exercise-Pitch-Black “The Hornets and Sukhois are having interesting fights with various outcomes. The Hornets have done fairly well, even during 1v1.” WGCDR Jones said Australian pilots were getting a “buzz out of working with a new platform,” but he too declined to offer an opinion on the capabilities of the Flankers. Instead he diplomatically said, “I remain very comfortable that we have the Super Hornet in RAAF service.” GPCAPT Kitcher assessed the Super Hornets as enjoying parity with the Flankers, but that “a pilot’s skill is the most important factor”. ---------- Super Hornets as enjoying parity with the Flankers F-35A = Hornet with a turbo SU-35 = SU-30MK with a turbo http://www.f-16.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=55&t=5525&start=1335#wrapper From GTA4's post with OEM numbers, F-35A beating EuroFighter in acceleration. F-35C has F-15E style low wing loading with acceleration similar to EuroFighter. LOL. F-35C has superior high alpha when compared to Rafale, EuroFighter and Gripen C/E, F-15C, F-15E and F-16C/D/E/V SU-30/35 doesn't fight like F-15's low wing loading+ high energy at high G.

With Singapore's population size being about 5.686 million, 36-42 gigawatt hours of mega battery storage + 17 to 20 gigawatts solar can supply Singapore with up to 15 percent of its electricity needs from 2028 . LOL Hint: For 100% electricity needs, pony up $200 billion just for Singapore's 5.686 million population. Scale to Australia's 26 million population and that's about $914 billion. Japan and South Korea have larger population size.

  14689.  @metrotrujillo  Your far-leftist has Allah. 6 February 2010 From WSWS Negotiations with NUMMI have been strung out by the UAW demand that the maximum severance package be increased to more than $60,000. This would benefit only a handful of workers and, of course, union officers. Union executives are also demanding a $72 million contribution from NUMMI to a health insurance program controlled by the UAW. “Most of the people working at the plant won’t even be eligible for it,” one worker told a reporter. “It’s mainly for the UAW as a whole rather than for the local.” Local 2244 President Sergio Santos declared that if NUMMI does not meet the bureaucracy’s demands for cash, it “would be a slap in the face to American workers.” The UAW has in fact done nothing to keep the plant open. In interviews, workers derided a local UAW petition drive, noting that while it was being circulated, machinery was being removed from the plant. The NUMMI closure will lead directly to 1,400 more layoffs in the local parts industry, and indirectly to thousands more. This is in California, where the unemployment rate is already at 12.4 percent and where vital social services have been scaled back due to the worst of the nation’s state budget crises. NUMMI’s suppliers have in recent days announced their own major layoffs. Johnson Controls has said it will close its Livermore plant, resulting in 321 layoffs, with 240 of these coming in late March, timed to coincide with the closure of NUMMI. In addition to the 4,700 jobs lost at NUMMI, Fremont will see an additional 314 parts and supply jobs vanish. The city of Hayward will lose 387 jobs after the closure of Injex Industries. Modesto will lose 186 jobs with the shutdown of Trim Master, Inc. Stockton will suffer 154 job losses after Kyoho Manufacturing closes, and Merced will lose 53 jobs after Arvin Sango shuts its doors.

The European Union actually comes off as the bigger offender when compared to the US, he added. The unweighted average EU customs duty is 5.2 percent, versus the US rate of 3.5 percent, according to ifo’s database. So when Mr. Trump complains of “massive tariffs” he is not that far off the mark in several cases. And he does complain. “If the EU wants to further increase their already massive tariffs and barriers on US companies doing business there, we will simply apply a tax on their cars, which freely pour into the US,” the president tweeted earlier this month. “They make it impossible for our cars (and more) to sell there. Big trade imbalance!” .... In fact it wasn’t even Mr. Trump who first broke off negotiations over a US-EU free trade deal known as the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), the German economist noted. It was actually the EU that put the unpopular talks “on ice” ahead of elections in France and Germany. ----------- Try again, hypocrite. Another hypocrisy from EU is climate change.

In the months prior to the Vilnius summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin engaged in a trade war with Kyiv, blocking nearly all imports from Ukraine and cutting energy supplies to the country. In turn, this reduced Ukrainian exports by 25 percent and shrank the economy by 1.5 percent. Ukraine Constitution 1991, Article 17, disallows foreign military bases after 2017. According to former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, Ukraine's constitution forbids the country from hosting foreign military bases after 2017. Yanukovych breached the Ukraine Constitution 1991, Article 17. After 2017, Ukraine's constitution is incompatible with foreign military bases hosting either NATO or CSTO. In 2018, President Petro Poroshenko's constitution amendment allowed temporary foreign military bases.

In the months prior to the Vilnius summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin engaged in a trade war with Kyiv, blocking nearly all imports from Ukraine and cutting energy supplies to the country. In turn, this reduced Ukrainian exports by 25 percent and shrank the economy by 1.5 percent. Ukraine Constitution 1991, Article 17, disallows foreign military bases after 2017. According to former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, Ukraine's constitution forbids the country from hosting foreign military bases after 2017. Yanukovych breached the Ukraine Constitution 1991, Article 17. After 2017, Ukraine's constitution is incompatible with foreign military bases hosting either NATO or CSTO.

  14751. @Anonymous Bosch The Chile example, USSR has supported its Cuban proxy that in turn supported Marxist Salvador Allende. You're a hypocrite. Marxist Salvador Allende clashed with the right-wing parties that controlled Congress and with the judiciary. On 11 September 1973, the military moved to oust Allende in a coup d'état. Marxist Salvador Allende's presidential branch effectively declared war on the judiciary and right-wing majority governed Congress branches. During the 1970 Chilean presidential election, both the United States and the Soviet Union poured money into this election through their intelligence agencies and other sources. 💰KGB money was more precisely targeted. Allende made a personal request for Soviet money through his personal contact, KGB officer Svyatoslav Kuznetsov, who urgently came to Chile from Mexico City to help Allende. The original allocation of money for these elections through the KGB was $400,000, and an additional personal subsidy of $50,000 directly to Allende.[8] It is believed that help from KGB was a decisive factor, because Allende won by a narrow margin of 39,000 votes of a total of the 3 million cast. After the elections, the KGB director Yuri Andropov obtained permission for additional money and other resources from the Central Committee of the CPSU to ensure Allende victory in Congress. In his request on 24 October, he stated that KGB "will carry out measures designed to promote the consolidation of Allende's victory and his election to the post of President of the country". In your argument's summary, the USSR-supported regime change intervention is okay while the US intervention is bad. Your argument is hypocritical.

In 1752, Kuwait became independent after an agreement between the Sheikh of Kuwait and the Emir of Bani Khalid in which Bani Khalid recognised Sabah I bin Jaber's independent rule over Kuwait and in exchange Kuwait would not ally itself or support the enemies of Bani Khalid or interfere in the internal affairs of Bani Khalid in any way.

While Australia is opposed to domestic nuclear energy, it hailed the prospect of 'assisting Russia to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and atmospheric pollution through the use of nuclear power, especially given Russia's high projected growth in electricity demand'. 'Russia is seeking secure, long-term sources of uranium to satisfy its expanding nuclear energy program,' the deal said. 'There is strong commercial interest in the long term amongst Australian uranium producers in supplying uranium to Russia. 'Russia is proposing at least a two-fold increase in its nuclear energy output by 2020.' 2010 Australia and Russia in November 2010 signed a Nuclear Cooperation Agreement with then prime minister Julia Gillard and president Dmitry Medvedev witnessing the deal in Seoul. 'In addition, it enabled Australian and Russian government officials to ensure that there was a common understanding of the administrative arrangements underpinning the nuclear cooperation agreement.' 2014 In September 2014, then prime minister Tony Abbott banned uranium exports to Russia after Russian-backed separatists in eastern Ukraine shot down Malaysia Airlines flight MH17, killing 298 people including 38 Australians. Australia's and Russia's relationship was warm until MH17.

Knight divulged a little more information about flying basic fighter manoeuvres (BFM) in an F-35. 'When our envelope was cleared to practise BFM we got the opportunity to fight some fourth-generation fighters. Remember, back the rumors were that the F-35 was a pig. The first time the opponents showed up [in the training area] they had wing tanks along with a bunch of missiles. I guess they figured that being in a dirty configuration wouldn't really matter and that they would still easily outmanoeuvre us. By the end of the week, though, they had dropped their wing tanks, transitioned to a single centerline fuel tank and were still doing everything they could not to get gunned by us. A week later they stripped the jets clean of all external stores, which made the BFM fights interesting, to say the least ---- 1.

  14833. @David Lockett Chile example, USSR has supported its Cuban proxy that in turn supported Marxist Salvador Allende. You're a hypocrite. Marxist Salvador Allende clashed with the right-wing parties that controlled Congress and with the judiciary. On 11 September 1973, the military moved to oust Allende in a coup d'état. Marxist Salvador Allende's presidential branch effectively declared war on the judiciary and right-wing majority governed Congress branches. During the 1970 Chilean presidential election, both the United States and the Soviet Union poured money into this election through their intelligence agencies and other sources. 💰KGB money was more precisely targeted. Allende made a personal request for Soviet money through his personal contact, KGB officer Svyatoslav Kuznetsov, who urgently came to Chile from Mexico City to help Allende. The original allocation of money for these elections through the KGB was $400,000, and an additional personal subsidy of $50,000 directly to Allende.[8] It is believed that help from KGB was a decisive factor, because Allende won by a narrow margin of 39,000 votes of a total of the 3 million cast. After the elections, the KGB director Yuri Andropov obtained permission for additional money and other resources from the Central Committee of the CPSU to ensure Allende victory in Congress. In his request on 24 October, he stated that KGB "will carry out measures designed to promote the consolidation of Allende's victory and his election to the post of President of the country".[8] You're a hypocrite.

My point, certain military applications require specialized fabrication methods besides typical TSMC's capability. Components from F-35A Block 4's avionics upgrade include the GpGPU solution e.g. Colorado Engineering to develop GPGPU-based embedded computing for F-35 radar signal processing. GPGPU-based embedded computing enables the so-called "Big SAR" capability on future versions of the F-35 Block 4.x. The planned Block 4 upgrades to the F-35 are expected to include adding a wide-area high-resolution synthetic aperture radar (SAR) mode to the Northrop Grumman APG-81 active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar.

  14873.  @ianlouden7939  The study was carried out in collaboration between French news website Disclose, researchers from Princeton University and British firm Interprt. France concealed the true impact of its nuclear tests in the Pacific from the 1960s to the 1990s, a study has said. Researchers used declassified French military documents, calculations and testimonies to reconstruct the impact of a number of the tests. They estimated that around 110,000 people in French Polynesia were affected by the radioactive fallout. The number represented "almost the entire" population at the time, the researchers found. French Polynesia, a French territory made up of hundreds of islands and atolls including Tahiti, was the site of dozens of nuclear tests over 30 years. Over the course of two years, researchers analysed around 2,000 documents released by the French military and recreated the impact of "the most contaminating" of France's nuclear tests carried out between 1966 and 1974. The 41st test took place over Mururoa Atoll on 17 July 1974, when the atomic cloud took a different trajectory than planned. Some 42 hours after the test codenamed Centaur, "the inhabitants of Tahiti and the surrounding islands of the Windward group were subjected to significant amounts of ionising radiation", the report says. The area was home to 110,000 people and Tahiti's main city, Papeete, alone had a population of 80,000. According to the investigation, the resulting radiation from the French tests was between two and 10 times higher than estimates given by France's Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) in a 2006 report. One reason, according to the findings, is that the CEA "did not always take into account the drinking of contaminated rainwater" when calculating the dose of radiation individuals were likely to have been exposed to. Catherine Serda, who was a child at the time of the tests, told France Inter radio that eight members of her family contracted cancer. "This is not normal. Why do we have so much cancer there?" The CEA study was used as the basis for determining whether people were eligible for compensation from the French government. The head of France's nuclear victims compensation committee, Alain Chrisnacht, told French media that the fallout over the Tahiti area had already been documented and a large number of requests for compensation had been agreed. The report, however, said only 63 Polynesian civilians had received compensation so far. ---- France can f_ckoff.

You can't handle the truth when "old world" imperial powers like Russia and China still plays the same "old world" geopolitics. Ukraine vs Russia is the echo of the past Kyiv vs Grand Duchy of the Moscow Slavic leadership wars. ----- The Ten Great Campaigns (Chinese: 十全武功; pinyin: Shíquán Wǔgōng) were a series of military campaigns launched by the Qing dynasty of China in the mid–late 18th century during the reign of the Qianlong Emperor (r. 1735–1796). They included three to enlarge the area of Qing control in Inner Asia: two against the Dzungars (1755–1757) and the "pacification" of Xinjiang (1758–1759). The other seven campaigns were more in the nature of police actions on frontiers already established: two wars to suppress the Gyalrong of Jinchuan, Sichuan, another to suppress the Taiwanese Aboriginals (Austronesian, 1787–88), and four expeditions abroad against the Burmese (1765–1769), the Vietnamese (partly Austronesian, 1788–1789), and the Gurkhas on the border between Tibet and Nepal (1790–1792), with the last counting as two. President Xi's argument is based on historical Imperial China's Ten Great Campaigns. Territorial disputes around Xi's China are based on Imperial China's Ten Great Campaigns. On the eve of the 1894 Sino-Japanese War, about 45 percent of the island was administered under the Manchus Qing administration (Imperial China) while the remaining was populated by Taiwanese aborigines. During the 4th Sino-Burmese Wars starting in 1768, Imperial China invaded the Kingdom of Burma. Burma hired European musketeers and gunners, hence Burma allied itself with the rising French Empire against Imperial China's invasion. Imperial China's imperialist conquest led to kinetic engagement with other powers. At the lowest point in the Philippines and the US relationship, the Philippines lost territory to China. Feelings are useless without firepower to back them. China's action on Mischief Reef started around 1995, shortly after the US navy left Clark airbase in Subic. Han Chinese imperialist has been wreaking Austronesian peoples before the US being a superpower. China wants the US out so that China can execute its historical Ten Great Campaigns! Russia wants the US out so Russia can execute its historical Slavic wars against recalcitrant Slavic states e.g. Poland, and Ukraine.

  14892.  @jonpetter8921  EU countries such as Finland, Sweden, Poland, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania do NOT trust Germany's or France's security guarantees i.e. EU's Article 42.7 mutual defense firepower and raw resource potential is weaker than NATO Article V. NATO Article V has the backing of the resource-rich North American continent i.e. Canada and the USA. EU's Article 42.7 mutual defense firepower is weaker when the UK exited the EU. UK joined CPTPP which includes Australia, Canada, Japan, Mexico, Malaysia, Chile, Peru, Singapore, New Zealand, Brunei, and Vietnam. In the past, Nazi Germany backed Finland in WW2 against Russian aggression, Napoleon's France backed Poland, and UK / France backed Poland before WW2. The North American factor is the wildcard in the "old world" issues. Under the British Empire, the UK was strong with raw resource-rich Canada and Australia. Trump's US exit from TPP recreated the prereferral trade environment (i.e. CPTPP) that existed before WWI for the UK, Canada, and Australia. Trump's US exit from TPP wreaked FDR's demand for dismantling UK's Imperial Preference as the price for US support for UK's WW2 adventure. Franklin Delano Roosevelt = FDR.

  14893. ​ @adrien5834  >if the nations of Europe pooled their efforts they could easily be a match for the American defence industry. The unresolved issue is the control over the EU's military force. Nordic countries unified their airforce under a single command structure i.e. the Nordic countries were able to overcome their historical issues and the use of the European Union's English language serves as a glue for the Nordic group. EU project originated from the US CIA's United States of Europe project, but the old-world issues are entrenched e.g. purist French vs German language issues originated from Roman Empire (Italy)'s divided Romance and Germanic-speaking countries in mainland Europe. The English language is a blending between Romance (Latin, Norman French) and Germanic languages. English-speaking peoples have accepted the contamination from Latin and Norman French on Germanic Old English while most mainland European countries are still enforcing language purity. European Union's divide is mostly due to Italy's past imperialist adventure under the Roman Empire.

It's in Russia's interest to decouple North America's raw material security guarantees from mainland Europe that will enable Russia to win any war of attrition against France or Germany! Germany used NATO with North America's raw material security guarantees to further its own interest when it failed in WW1's goals. NATO was used to check Russia and avoid the WW1 trigger. Can France factor in Germany's self-interest in Croatia at the expense of Serbia (again)?

  14932. Chile example, USSR has supported its Cuban proxy that in turn supported Marxist Salvador Allende. You're a hypocrite. Marxist Salvador Allende clashed with the right-wing parties that controlled Congress and with the judiciary. On 11 September 1973, the military moved to oust Allende in a coup d'état. Marxist Salvador Allende's presidential branch effectively declared war on the judiciary and right-wing majority governed Congress branches. During the 1970 Chilean presidential election, both the United States and the Soviet Union poured money into this election through their intelligence agencies and other sources. 💰KGB money was more precisely targeted. Allende made a personal request for Soviet money through his personal contact, KGB officer Svyatoslav Kuznetsov, who urgently came to Chile from Mexico City to help Allende. The original allocation of money for these elections through the KGB was $400,000, and an additional personal subsidy of $50,000 directly to Allende.[8] It is believed that help from KGB was a decisive factor, because Allende won by a narrow margin of 39,000 votes of a total of the 3 million cast. After the elections, the KGB director Yuri Andropov obtained permission for additional money and other resources from the Central Committee of the CPSU to ensure Allende victory in Congress. In his request on 24 October, he stated that KGB "will carry out measures designed to promote the consolidation of Allende's victory and his election to the post of President of the country".[8] You're a hypocrite.

  14941. That's OPEC. UK's North Sea oil exports are in pound sterling. The Canadian dollar is increasingly viewed as a petrocurrency in the 21st Century. . As their oil sands deposits have been increasingly exploited and sold on the international market, movements of the Canadian dollar have become increasingly correlated with the price of oil. For example, the exchange rate of Canadian dollars for Japanese yen (99% of Japan's oil is imported) is 85% correlated with crude prices. As long as oil exports remain a strong component of Canada’s exports, oil prices will influence the value of the Canadian dollar. Why has the Canadian dollar become a petrocurrency? During the 1980s and 1990s, energy’s share in trade hovered around the five per cent mark. That changed as we entered the 21st century. By 2014, energy’s share had nearly tripled to about 15 per cent. This is even more pronounced when one only looks at exports, where that share has reached 25 per cent by 2014. That is what has fundamentally shifted and can explain why oil prices matter a whole lot more than they did a decade or two earlier. Will the Canadian dollar remain a petrocurrency? As long as oil exports remain a strong component of Canada’s exports, oil prices will influence the value of the Canadian dollar. If the share of oil and gas exports increases further, the link between oil prices and the exchange rate may become even stronger. Both Canada and the United Kingdom have GDPs larger than Russia's and Saudi Arabia's. ---- In August 2018, Venezuela joined the group of countries that allow their oil to be purchased in currencies other than US Dollars, thus allowing purchases in Euros, Yuan(Petroyuan) and other directly convertible currencies. Unlike the U.S. dollar, the renminbi is not a freely convertible currency; its exchange rate against other currencies including the U.S. dollar continues to be managed by China's central bank. Crude export proceeds in Chinese currency cannot be invested outside China as widely as USD, and can only be invested inside China at the discretion of the Chinese government.

A prominent example is ZTE Corporation (ZTE), China’s second largest telecommunication equipment manufacturer and the subject of a U.S. House Committee investigation in 2012. ZTE’s shares are listed on both the Shenzhen and Hong Kong Stock Exchanges. ZTE’s largest shareholder is ZTE Holdings, which owns 30.76% of ZTE’s shares (see Fig. 1).[9] Under both Chinese and Hong Kong law, 30% is the point at which a shareholder is considered to have acquired a large enough stake to trigger a mandatory tender offer requirement. The shares of ZTE Holdings, in turn, are held by Xi’an Microelectronics (34%), Aerospace Guangyu (17%), and Zhongxing WXT (49%). Xi’an Micro Electronics and Aerospace Guangyu are both SOEs. State-owned entities, therefore, control 51% of ZTE Holdings. https://www.theaustralian.com.au/business/business-spectator/how-private-is-private-in-china-/news-story/d1496a69b87fdc6a7682cf91c0ae906a One other point is that Chinese private companies are very sensitive to popular nationalistic sentiment on issues – often stirred up by the authorities – and in some cases may also genuinely share the same views as Beijing. It was revealing, for example, how many of China’s leading ‘private’ technology companies, Baidu and Tencent, late last year took a very public stance in favour of China’s ownership of the contested Diaoyu/Senkaku Islands. Clearly leading Chinese private hi-tech companies are not averse to taking actions in support of the stance of Beijing that go beyond pure commercial decision-making.

Tencent became the world's largest gaming company and owner of China's No.1 messaging system without needing to compete with Facebook's WhatsApp. Baidu and Tencent are prime examples of Chinese companies simply copying the successful business models created in Silicon Valley and then rolling them out without fear of competition at home. Alibaba, which built the world's largest online retailing business, was allowed to dominate China's small business lending without interference from foreigners or much competition from local government-owned entities.

On April 3, 1991, the Security Council passed Resolution 687, requiring Iraq to destroy all of its nuclear, chemical and biological weapons, and missiles that could deliver them. The United Nations Special Commission (UNSCOM) was established to ensure Iraq’s compliance. Fast-forward to 2002 and U.N. Security Council Resolution 1441, negotiated by the Bush administration.

In examining the rise of Huawei and ZTE, the answer is clear: Without innovation mercantilist policies, Huawei and ZTE would not exist, or at best would be minor niche players, even in the China market. Indeed, as Huawei’s founder Ren Zhengfei himself admitted in 2002, without Beijing’s policy of protecting Chinese companies from aggressive foreign competition at home, “Huawei would no longer exist.”17 And if Huawei did not exist, Nortel and possibly Lucent would certainly still be in existence today, and Ericsson and Nokia would have greater market shares.

From a news article: Six decades ago, an agreement to cancel half of postwar Germany's debt helped foster a prolonged period of prosperity in the war-torn continent. “Germany's resurgence has only been possible through waiving extensive debt payments and stopping reparations to its World War II victims,” economic historian Albrecht Ritschl told Der Spiegel in 2011, describing Germany as “the biggest debt transgressor” of the past century. “During the 20th century, Germany was responsible for what were the biggest national bankruptcies in recent history,” Ritschl said, pointing to the collapse of the German economy in the early 1930s, which sent shockwaves through global markets. “It is only thanks to the United States, which sacrificed vast amounts of money after both World War I and World War II, that Germany is financially stable today and holds the status of Europe's headmaster. That fact, unfortunately, often seems to be forgotten.”

  15035. Reminder, Australia is a federation of states which each have their own constitution, government and laws. The Australian Constitution originated as an agreement under which the former colonies came together as states in a federation. In brief, the Constitution establishes the form of the federal government (that is, the Commonwealth, national or central government) and sets out the basis for relations between the Commonwealth and the states. The drafters of the constitution set up a Federal Government and a series of separately organised state governments. This fact gives rise to a principle in constitutional law known as the intergovernmental immunities doctrine. This doctrine prohibits federal laws and governmental actions that operate to destroy or curtail the continued existence of the states or their capacity to function as governments. Because territories are not states, the doctrine doesn't protect them.

Wuhan’s major virus type, ‘B’, was prevalent in patients from across East Asia. However, the variant didn’t travel much beyond the region without further mutations – implying a 'founder event' in Wuhan, or 'resistance' against this type of COVID-19 outside East Asia, say researchers. From https://www.pnas.org/content/early/2020/04/07/2004999117 has https://www.pnas.org/content/pnas/early/2020/04/07/2004999117/F1.large.jpg Fig. 1. Phylogenetic network of 160 SARS-CoV-2 genomes. Node A is the root cluster obtained with the bat (R. affinis) coronavirus isolate BatCoVRaTG13 from Yunnan Province. Circle areas are proportional to the number of taxa, and each notch on the links represents a mutated nucleotide position. The sequence range under consideration is 56 to 29,797, with nucleotide position (np) numbering according to the Wuhan 1 reference sequence (8). The median-joining network algorithm (2) and the Steiner algorithm (9) were used, both implemented in the software package Network5011CS (https://www.fluxus-engineering.com/), with the parameter epsilon set to zero, generating this network containing 288 most-parsimonious trees of length 229 mutations. The reticulations are mainly caused by recurrent mutations at np11083. The 161 taxa (160 human viruses and one bat virus) yield 101 distinct genomic sequences. The phylogenetic diagram is available for detailed scrutiny in A0 poster format (SI Appendix, Fig. S5) and in the free Network download files.

  15054. Quoting Out Of The Shadows: RNLAF experiences with the F-35A - Combat Aircraft Magazine May 2018 specifically against David Axe's leaked Y2015 report. Knight divulged a little more information about flying basic fighter manoeuvres (BFM) in an F-35. 'When our envelope was cleared to practise BFM we got the opportunity to fight some fourth-generation fighters. Remember, back the rumors were that the F-35 was a pig. The first time the opponents showed up [in the training area] they had wing tanks along with a bunch of missiles. I guess they figured that being in a dirty configuration wouldn't really matter and that they would still easily outmanoeuvre us. By the end of the week, though, they had dropped their wing tanks, transitioned to a single centerline fuel tank and were still doing everything they could not to get gunned by us. A week later they stripped the jets clean of all external stores, which made the BFM fights interesting, to say the least ---- 1. Lightest empty weight F-16A MLU air-superiority model needs to be clean (no weapons, no external tanks) to make visual range dogfight interesting against combat-loaded F-35A Block 3F. 2.

  15063.  @comedyandeducationtv3126  United States Congress's 1982 Six Assurances for Taiwan 1. The United States has not agreed to set a date for ending arms sales to Taiwan. 2. The United States has not agreed to consult with the PRC on arms sales to Taiwan. 3. The United States will not play mediation role between Taipei and Beijing. 4. The United States has not agreed to revise the Taiwan Relations Act. 5. The United States has not altered its position regarding sovereignty over Taiwan. 6. The United States will not exert pressure on Taiwan to enter into negotiations with the PRC. On May 19, 2016, one day before Tsai Ing-wen assumed the Presidency of the Republic of China, U.S. Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL), a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and Bob Menendez (D-NJ), former chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and co-chair of the Senate Taiwan Caucus, introduced a concurrent resolution reaffirming the Taiwan Relations Act and the “Six Assurances” as cornerstones of United States–Taiwan relations.[6][7][8] The Republican Party Platform of the 2016 Republican National Convention mentions the Six Assurances, stating, "We salute the people of Taiwan, with whom we share the values of democracy, human rights, a free market economy, and the rule of law. Our relations will continue to be based upon the provisions of the Taiwan Relations Act, and we affirm the Six Assurances given to Taiwan in 1982 by President Reagan. We oppose any unilateral steps by either side to alter the status quo in the Taiwan Straits on the principle that all issues regarding the island’s future must be resolved peacefully, through dialogue, and be agreeable to the people of Taiwan. If China were to violate those principles, the United States, in accord with the Taiwan Relations Act, will help Taiwan defend itself. We praise efforts by the new government in Taipei to continue constructive relations across the Taiwan Strait and call on China to reciprocate. As a loyal friend of America, Taiwan has merited our strong support, including free trade agreement status, the timely sale of defensive arms including technology to build diesel submarines, and full participation in the World Health Organization, International Civil Aviation Organization, and other multilateral institutions."[9] The Asia Reassurance Initiative Act (Pub.L. 115–409 (text) (PDF)) states that it is the policy of the U.S. to enforce commitments to Taiwan consistent with the Six Assurances.[10] As of September 2018, the Donald Trump administration "has stated that the U.S.-Taiwan relationship is also 'guided' by [the] 'Six Assurances'".[11] In November 2020 U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo stated “Taiwan has not been a part of China, and that was recognized with the work that the Reagan administration did to lay out the policies that the United States has adhered to now for three and a half decades, and done so under both administrations.” which was seen as invoking clause 5.[12] The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 reconfirmed the Taiwan Relations Act (TRA) and the Six Assurances as the foundation for US-Taiwan relations.[13]
