the Taliban is creating a large-scale camera surveillance network for Afghan cities that could involve repurposing a plan crafted by the Americans before their 2021 pullout.

I see that the Taliban is taking notes from it's Western occupiers. London has more security cameras per capita than Beijing and Los Angeles isn't far behind. Kabul is slacking.

Black people can't possibly have a better grasp of what's going on in their backyard than white people on the other side of the planet.

Who's consuming? China, the single biggest driver of increasing oil consumption for the past few decades, is predicted to hit peak oil this year and their oil demand is collapsing due to the massive market share of EVs in the Chinese market.

You mean, African countries aren't happy about austerity measures under IMF loans? No way...

Yes, but think of the profits.

Where are those profits going? Definitely not to you, that's for sure.

The US is basically saying "we've seen all the evidence Canada has, but Canada is on its own because we don't want to piss off India. If India wants to cooperate, that would be great"

The Indian position on Sikhs is more radical than the Chinese position on Uyghurs. That's.... Depressing.

That's literally the role of the government, though.

US politics is basically neither side compromising on the basis of ideology and saying it's the other side's fault.

That's a far more condemnable position when you're the actual government than when you're the opposition.

Are people ignoring that Russia is substantially more populated than Ukraine? Ukraine isn't winning a war of attrition.

Think of all the profits you're delivering to shareholders!

Ah yes, because that usually leads to unanimous decisions in countries that are literally founded on the basis of preserving Islam.
