Written like a true American, only taking American interests into account and dismissing any other perspectives as non-existent.

Chinese policy makers have legitimate concerns about US activities relating to space but of course those concerns are entirely invalid.

Haven't they always done that?

Only if you assume the black book of communism is a work of non-fiction.

The US created the debt trap, the US are the masters of the debt trap. They stumbled upon it by accident after WWI, did it on purpose for WWII, and internationally institutionalized it after the war. Every time global conditions shift and stop supporting the current US debt trap model, the US shifts to make sure the debt trap continues.

When Germany banned RT a year ago there were only cheers to be heard from German libs. It wasn't censorship at all, since Germany has "freedom of opinion" you see, a freedom of opinion which only need be extended to those whose opinion isn't somehow construed as offensive.

Im Börsengroßhandel bestimmt die inzwischen teure Stromerzeugung durch Gaskraftwerke oft den Strompreis für alle anderen Erzeugungsarten.

Translation: In the meantime the expensive wholesale market electric generation rates for all types of generation are set by gas power plants.

This is the point that's not talked about nearly enough. Wholesale electric rates are determined by bids every day. The winner is the supplier that offers the highest price, and everyone else gets that price as well. With gas prices in the EU having increased something like ten times the previous decade average that means electric retail companies are paying incredibly high rates to power the grid, and those costs are passed directly to individual people. Meanwhile the "excess profits" of electric suppliers beyond a certain nominal price per MWh are being taxed by governments and given right over to the retail utility providers as a "subsidy." There's no requirement for the retail companies to cut consumer rates, and in many cases the generation and retail companies have the same owners.

It's a system which IIRC a certain "there is no alternative" Peggy Thatcher introduced in the eighties and now it's essentially EU electric price policy.

It would take cues from the last hundred years of US imperial debt strategy, from the Allied loans and German reparations of WWI up to IMF austerity-and-neoliberalism-by-force. It will be structured to turn Russia into a US capitalist controlled vassal state, and in order to repay it Russia's natural resources will have to be turned over to the west.

The Gates Foundation is an tax evasion trick, an intellectual property rights lobby, and has been an extremely harmful actor in over-oppressed countries.

A few days after Musk purchased Twitter I was already thinking he'd run it into the ground. The problem with that being that Twitter is such an important part of the imperialist propaganda, reality invention, and regime change machine. The last two weeks have been even worse for the platform than I imagined. So how long will it be until the Broadcasting Board of Governors or similarly placed institution swoops in to take over management or even ownership of Twitter?

Not a good pick for a contractor but I doubt Poland was given much choice. If completed and taken online these reactors will significantly decrease the GHG emissions in Poland. One can only hope that Czechia follows with reactors of their own.

I don't disagree, it's illegal and it's not hard to figure that out before you try to enter a country with prohibited substances. Then again American media always play off "middle class" people who get caught bringing drugs across borders as victims of overzealous foreign regimes. The US propaganda machine absolutely could have stayed out of it in terms of making it a political issue, but they just had to leverage this woman into a political pawn.

She tried to bring cannabis products into Russia. While the sentence may be harsh, she broke the law.
