Really not sure why this runoff went so poorly for Massa tbh
Milei is a whack job that makes Trump and Bolsonaro look like good, sane leaders.
The DPP has literally already asserted this claim. You cannot allow the US to conduct FONOPS through the Taiwan Strait without declaring independence because under UNCLOS, if Taiwan was Chinese then the Taiwan Strait would be territorial waters.
Where's the invasion?
MBFC, a site run by one guy for which nothing is known (other than that he shares a name with a highly respected lawyer and professor). Truly the bastion of free and honest journalism. His methodology for grading has... No methodology. It's entirely subjective.
MBFC also rates the Electronic Intifada and Moon of Alabama as having never failed a fact check. Can I start posting EI articles, too?
Clearly the UNRWA and the doctors at MSF don't know what they're talking about. Only the IDF does.
Is this according to the same Israel that called a water reservoir an "opening into the Hamas tunnels?"
The same one that released a faked video of a "nurse from al-Shifa?"
Other comment got reported, but still doesn't change the fact that you're comparing two bad sources and trying to pick one that's less bad.
If Hamas starts releasing verifiably false videos to Western audiences, then I'll discredit that too.
You're not allowed to talk about that.
The Zionist community has tried really hard to conflate Zionism with Jewish identity, to the point where anything critical of Israel and Netanyahu's regime is seen as antisemitic.
Haha you're funny
I mean, I think it's just a completely different development model.
China develops for future demand, while the US develops for past demand.
Invariably, developing for future demand sometimes leads to poor development, but those cases are not the norm. What it does allow is taking advantage of economies of scale to improve net efficiency (again, in the HSR example, China incurred 10x the debt to build 50x the rail of California and 150x the rail of the UK). Even if half of your buildup is useless, it's still more efficient than the American approach.
I'm sure there's some optimal point in the middle and I don't think China's hit that, but I think you're conflating different issues to justify the lack of infrastructure investment in the US. The thing is, with the massive rural-urban migration in China, it was always better to have excess capacity than insufficient capacity: the urban population is the key driver to economic growth.
For what it's worth, you can ask people in SF if they'd prefer to live in brutalist buildings for $500/month or pay the exorbitant rents in the area...
More whataboutism.
