Environmental review is supposed to occur before construction. Obviously very few occurrences where governments go back and change this. This stopped being about the environment when the price tag came in. If Norway was serious about eating €300 million to compensate the owners they should vote on it, pay for it, and move on.

Because, like water shortage, population growth is something that still not at high concern levels. The only reason it is, is because a small percentage of corporations control over 80 % of the resources in the world.

Addressing population growth now, when the biggest contributor to climate change are those corporations is just playing their game. Divide and conquer is a strategy that always works.

It will take time for the world to change policies, but I believe Putin’s actions will cause most countries to ramp up military spending in the coming years. The US economy will likely benefit as a major exporter of these materials/goods. Just reason #278,923 why this invasion was a colossal strategic mistake for Russia.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. Any information about true state of events in Ukraine gets deleted anywhere, even if it has publicly available proofs for it. Every place, including the Reddit tries to keep up with the narrative, so in the end you consume as much propaganda as russians from their state media. Sadly, there are no platform for people from Ukraine to speek freely and adress major foreign audience, so you will never know all the truth.

Okay let me give you an analogy

Imagine a super elite boxer like prime Muhammad Ali vs an amateur high school athlete boxer

Ali should be able to knock out the high school boxer in round 1, right? Well, Ali defeated the highchool kid, but it took him 12 rounds, plus he wasnt able to knock the kid out. You can say that even though the highschool kid lost, Ali was still very incompetent, because what should've been an easy win for him dragged out to 12 rounds

Same thing for Russia and Ukraine here. Ukraine is losing in Bakhmut, yes, but the Russian army is supposed to be elite and superior, so it shouldn't take them "12 rounds" just to defeat Ukraine in Bakhmut

Even if Russia wins in Bakhmut, it's still incredibly devastating for them because they're losing so many soldiers just to squeeze out a small victory
