How would you do HVDC to Japan? Underwater lines?

Space shuttles are also obscenely expensive
Wok, vegetable cleaver, bidet. The world is your oyster.
Literally the US Army has published videos that claim they were involved in the Tiananmen protests.
It’s public on Lemmy. I get the vibe OP didn’t know lol…
Dude’s never been called yellow and it shows. Fuck off.
Not sure why $oro$ is marked as racism when it specifically refers to one person and has “nothing to do” with that person’s race.
Really makes you think.
Get an Android tablet lol
Two party state baby
Compare progress made in the BRI to prgress made on California HSR (authority established 1996)… And people wonder why the BRI is an appealing prospect?
US GDP grows and manufacturing shrinks. Really makes you wonder.
Electric is infeasible with Nicaragua’s current infrastructure. As for why Nicaragua’s current infrastructure is so bad? I’m not too sure, tbh.
“defeat”
In what world does Ukraine have a chance of actually reclaiming their territory? Even by the most optimistic estimates, Ukraine’s recent counteroffensive has lost tens of thousands of soldiers to claim… A rural village.
It helps civilians by conscripting all the civilians into the army I guess
By the winter of 1941, Barbarossa had failed. By the time the Western Front was opened in 1944, Army Group South had collapsed, Army Group North was failing, and Army Group Center was in the process of being encircled. Germany had lost, it was just a question of when. In the meantime, the entire North African campaign cost the Germans less resources than the Dnieper-Carpathian Offensive.
Friendly reminder that prior to Pearl Harbour, the US was sponsoring Japan’s war crimes in China. The US made up the bulk of Japan’s iron, copper, oil, steel, and wheat supply… Essentials for industrializing and waging war. Even with this massive economic power backing them, Japan had been fought to a standstill by 1940. By 1944, the Nationalists were more concerned with containing the Communists than they were with containing the Japanese.
In the case of both Germany and Japan, powerhouses at the peak of their power were ground down to a stalemate against a rapidly industrializing nation.
Western journalists on the ground claimed that they saw no bodies or blood in Tiananmen Square minutes after the supposed massacre. I’m sure you have a good explanation for that as well?
The Chinese government never denied that people died that night, but they denied the circumstances described by Western media. It’s telling that the perspective told by some student leaders and protestors was not corroborated by Western journalists on the ground. It’s even more telling that those same perspectives were not corroborated by other student leaders. Being precise is important. It’s just as important when talking about Tiananmen Square as it is when talking about current events in Gaza, for its undeniable that people died and providing an accurate story of what happened is essential for preserving the value of the truth and not allowing the truth to be diminished. Don’t tarnish their story by making up bullshit that generates more clicks and more outrage.
The facts tell us that soldiers died in riots before June 4th and that civilians died by gunfire on June 4th. The eyewitness accounts by journalists tell us that it’s unlikely that many (if any) people died on Tiananmen Square. The full video of “tank man” shows that the tanks stopped for him and that he was dragged away by other protestors (and certainly wasn’t run over by a tank on video).
Specifics are important. I’m not telling you to fully believe the official Chinese government statement on the issue. I don’t. In fact, I struggle to think of any official government statement that I’m willing to believe without question. I’m simply telling you to look at facts, to look at video evidence, to look at unbiased third-parties, and to ask yourself what narrative makes the most sense. Then, maybe you’ll consider what drew you to your previous conclusion.
Dude really cited the Kuomintang as evidence of the current Chinese government being Nazi collaborators. I guess One China policy goes pretty far, huh?
The Global South doesn’t support Ukraine. Regardless of what politicians say, it’s just good policy to not antagonize the countries for which trade with you is growing in the double digits annually.
Take a look at how the list of richest people in the world changed after the collapse of the Soviet Union. It’s really quite telling.
The US is increasing it’s primary energy production from fossil fuel sources (by 40% since 2010) and they’re decreasing total emissions? Sure…
