Nice post, but curious how this counts as “World News”

I guess it's not strictly news, but wasn't sure where to put it. With things ramping up in the Middle East, it is kind of world news worthy to note that US is aiming to spend 100 billion to continue fuelling the conflicts in Ukraine and Palestine.

China and US are major players on the world stage. The US funding wars and China funding infrastructure to global transport initiatives are pretty globally impactful things.

True, but that doesn't make it news per se.

US bank rolling the war machine is a tale as old as time*.

*by time I mean liberal time, where history started a few minutes–decades ago.
