So make a place a global trade hub in theory can be as simple as saying it is so and watching every country trade there, only in one's imagination.

So now the region is going to be made into a great Singapore for the Mediterranean using billions of dollars of tax money from nations including Egypt, Turkey, Greece, Cyprus, etc?

That's not a global trade hub. That's a globally subsidized tax haven. Whose long-term stability Congress from the whim of nations like the USA, China, Russia, the EU, Iran, Saudi Arabia, etc...

With that, it would be infinitely easier and more attractive for any nearby nation to create a special economic area to handle regional trade & take the jobs, and the best part? This would be funded by the respective nation itself.

The UN is a pull organization. It has to request forces & money for operations. No nation or nation collective in their right mind would want to shell out the billions required to basically occupy the region, even with Jerusalem.

So you're a power user? Case in point, you'd be better for Fedora.

Also my second distro was mint, after 3+ years of the old hdd's non-use, I pulled it out last year when my install of some OS broke, updated it to zero issues (I was curious), used the software for a bit, all was good.

3 years without an update to zero issues.

Haven't seen any issue with Mint updates yet like I've fought in Fedora

Fedora is not for beginners.

Mint is.

I could go into more detail, but I'll leave it there.

You can take the redditor out of reddit, but you can't take the reddit out of the redditor

FreeBSD. Can't go wrong with looking at unix if you want something interesting

Or maybe a billion dollar research grant to get solid state batteries out, which seem to solve all of these problems

Oh, the USA is bloody awful, and they know. You think the CCP isn't playing up American dysfunction any chance it gets?

They're leaving for a chance at a better life, not the best. You can think about the "best life" once you have a better one.
