I'd wager that this is neither good, nor bad, or even malicious. It's just the status quo. Does Israel even want normalization with the country it is invading? So there's no reason for the US to demand it. Besides, Trump is talking to al-Sharaa and Bin Salman at the same time and it doesn't seem like Saudi feels like normalizing with Israel either.

Even their doomsday 'evil China scenario' involves the country curing cancer.
US embassies sanctioning themselves from doing business in a foreign country (coup plotting) was too good to be true.
I think that on some level people sorta assume that someone like Jeffrey Sachs - neoliberal economist at the vanguard of pillaging the USSR - had the perfect redemption arc. You can easily imagine a true believer in neoliberal economics, but also politically reasonable in a way that he'd make suggestions that the dismantling of the USSR would never abide. It makes sense to, because that's kinda like how Jeffrey memorializes himself. Then that person lived long enough to see China's ascension and the US' insanity disprove all of their fundamental beliefs in life.
The cherry on top is that same Jeffrey Sachs goes onto debate against someone like Mearsheimer on the notion that China is inevitably going to behave in the same pattern as the US and the European empires did, fundamentally on the belief that current China treasures peace more than any western elite group ever did.
i think withers look pretty realistic
what we need is a church-military complex of priests and engineers. if every body of water is either a canal or a dam then it is no longer within a natural vessel. and with enough priests we can continuously bless them all. vampirism shall then be banished unto the bottom of the seas
Would the Administration reach across the aisle and re-rename the comm to TrueFibs?
hypothesis one: pinterest was flooded with AI art and now so is google search
hypothesis two: your boss wants you to use AI. having AI write your article and then having AI make the image makes for two uses out of the 50 in your production quotas.
We basically can't. Both in terms of expertise and in terms of financing. And it would be bad business besides, since China is a main beneficiary of these projects they also have an interest in their completion. It doesn't make sense for Perú and Brazil to finance this themselves.
The cool thing about that quote is that wherever I go I find an absolute consensus around building railworks. Right wingers, left wing developmentists, communists and boomers alike all think Brazil should massively develop rail. There are always naysayers in news like these but in this case they are in the fringes. And the coolest thing is that China being involved seems to dispel most of the cliché pessimism.
damn this is positively brazilian. george santos' influence can't be overstated
