Reply to comment by lorbd in Germany hoping to increase its military aid to Ukraine to up to €15 billion in coming years by klappstuhlgeneral
The only ones opposing this in Germany are the far left (old romantic socialists - and they are torn even) and the far right AfD (you know what is up with them).
The green party just is ahead of the curve on a lot of issues. That's why Putin and his minions can't stand them.

Reply to comment by BonerStorm69 in Iran To Invite Saudi King For Tehran Visit by green_flash
I think it has more to do with the fact that the Saudis don't see the USA as reliable as an ally. Israel isn't doing well right now either so from their point of view they are left to go against Iran solo in a conflict they wouldn't win. A peace deal may guarantee them survival. This also gives iran room to scale back from proxy wars (Yemen and Syria) and secure the home front with the protests.

"This black hole is bigger than the majority of galaxies in the universe."
Would this mean that this black hole was able to consume the entirety of its host galaxy, plus some more?
Space really is unimaginably huge.

Up to Russia to end it.
This is just putting in law and budget that Germany is ready to stick it out with Ukraine. Putting money where their mouth is.

It's not the only reason. During Covid there were repeated lockdowns in China, and foreign corporations have become more hesitant about relying on Chinese subsidiaries and suppliers in their supply chains. At the same time infrastructure and education in India has dramatically improved, making it a more attractive option. There are still many places with much cheaper labour.

Helping the victims of Russia’s genocidal war of aggression to defend themselves is not warmongering.

You realise that all this money is going directly to the US to pay for their new military equipment while they offloads ‘100s of billions’ of old equipment that has been hyper evaluated?

Pretty good reason why we restrict access to explosives and even to common fertilisers, etc.
I think the main thing to be thankful for is that even assembling a basic nitrate explosive mix is beyond most common terrorists / attention seekers.

What does racism have to do with that? I am not American and I am against gun violence but here we are. The important thing is the laws that the government enacts.
But kids, women and Russia is mostly what reddit is about currently so you have to understand the circumstances why India is not well seen at least on Reddit.

just add the same weight in explosives instead. that's more effective and even cheaper.

You're in r/worldnews, if Western media says something is bad then it is bad. Everything else is propaganda. Also a random redditor knows more about your country than you do because they read 3 articles on NYT or BBC. They also have an expert opinion on every country on Earth.

Doesn't help when the organizers collecting money were a sons of odin leader (white supremacist group) racist truck company owner, and a woman who is politically involved in a separatist party.
If it was any other competent country they wouldve been arrested with a terrorist charge. Ironically, the truckers in Ontario are majority brown, yet you only saw white people there.

I remember an Apple rep came to my company to dissect which country benefits the most from producing an iphone. As in where the money goes. Everyone guessed China but of the countries where an iphone is made, China made the least. It was Germany first, USA, some other country and then China.
