Open the borders and these incredibly risky boat trips stop

What a pointless waste of life

You care more about Greta than you do the destruction of the Earth.

Weird, bro.

How about we start by stopping the funding ( subsidies ) of fossil fuels? It’s what , 1T a year globally now? Or was it 1.3? The numbers are so astronomical I can’t even fathom what that amount is. Take money out of politics so we can vote for progressive policies which keep allowing the oligarchs to rule…and pay lawmakers to make rules which favor them.

I was appalled when i first heard about this, but apparently murders have dropped 57% in the short time since the crackdown began.

There have been problems such as innocents being carted up, but... 57% less murders.

The problem with lying all the time is that nobody believes you.

Actions have consequences.

But there's wood elfs to be worrying about.

106 gigawatts would be around 220 new high functioning coal plants.

Or around 350 smaller coal plants depending on the quality of coal and expenditure on plant infrastructure. To put into perspective how much coal is being burned,

To power most of a household's electrical appliances for a year it would take around 4,750 pounds of coal.

Where do people get it from? Lukashenko managed to pull it off himself, without any help. Give the bastard credit where it's due. He's a master oppressor that makes Putin with his 1mil+ security force look like a little girl.

As long as the corrupt ANC is in charge, this will never end. It will get worse, like it does year after year.

My point - Europe looking after itself. India is looking after itself. Europe with an avg annual income of $60K can buy oil at whatever price OPECs are selling but India with $2K avg income can not. Specially when Europe is now feeding into India's traditional suppliers thereby increasing the price of India's supplies.

Why would anyone listen to a government that allows their country to be pillaged by russia and china, time the people of SA stopped this drain of resources.

Polska stronkkk!!!!

The FSB watches Lukashenko as he sleeps

>'Diplomacy and dialogue' the only way to end Russia-Ukraine war

Thats not true at all. russia could literally end the war today by simply going home and staying in their own country and nobody would bother them.

did you want me to try your "ex wife's soup" or your "ex wife soup"?

Probably, because his entire leadership has had one aim, to eventually bring Ukraine back into Russia. I think this is important to him because he wants to be remembered as a great conqueror that united Russia again. He likes to compare himself to Peter the Great who conquered Crimea and Ukraine in the 17th century. They were part of the Russian 'Empire' until the fall of the USSR in the 90's.

He doesn't seem to understand that these now sovereign countries want nothing to do with Russia ever again!

That’s a significant chunk of their population…

Putin was failing Russia - and is now able to hide it under claims that those failings are consequences of the war. Damn clever.

According to the article it was built as part of a “war on gangs” that is given political authority by a state of emergency called last march. The prison is neither state of the art nor does it look expensive. This is 8 cement buildings with large rooms that have 2 toilets and showers for 100 prisoners and 80 beds for 100 prisoners. This is arm chair conjecture but it seems like the operation to move the prisoners here which included helicopters and a lot of coordination was nearly as expensive as the building. It appears this was spearheaded and ordered by the president and his cabinet who is hoping to get the cartel violence under control and ran on that agenda.

The cynic in me expects the cartels will buy off or extort the guards eventually unless they maintain anonymity and have thorough security measures. I feel like these are going to turn into murder holes at the very least as these conditions do not help with violent tendencies.

You know where you are right?

Russia plays both sides. Their goal is to weaken. They started with the left and are so entrenched, most lefties have no idea how much of their ideology was originally sponsored by the Kremlin. The right wing infiltration seems to be a more recent phenomenon. Left and right have always been two wings of the same bird.

Not saying you’re wrong, but there’s good reason to doubt businesses when they say the solution to pollution is dilution. It was a pretty common saying in some industries and for decades, and it resulted in hundreds to thousands of areas in the US which are so polluted it will be hundreds of years before the damage is rectified, if that.

I’ll admit I can’t say with certainty the best course of action here, as I haven’t read the research or looked at the sources. It probably isn’t that much of an issue, and maybe Japan has better and more enforced regulation than the US. But for my experience, once you give the ok for these businesses with practically zero environmental accountability to pollute, and expect them to do it responsibly, is often the beginning of destroying the local ecosystem. Then the taxpayers pay for it, because there’s almost always a way for the skeevy executives to avoid responsibility.

Especially now that the Russian army seems quite occupied elsewhere.

They starting to sound like Russia. Tired....
