yep, they were supposed to be the leaders in guiding the underdeveloped ones through a more sustainable route of industrialization for everybody’s sake. but instead first they outsourced all the damages to the Global South, and now they’ve just reverted back to the narratives of “green coal” and building more LNG terminals at home.
much of this reflects a shift in timelines from 2030 to 2035, rather than any stronger policy action
Letting out men aged 18-22 was a really smart play by the government. These are the people who were underaged back in February 2022, and it would’ve been a very heavy mental ask for their parents to switch from the mindset of “I need to protect my children from the war” to a “my grown adults need to protect me” one. This would’ve been the prime audience for a civil uprising.
In addition it creates the pressure of a fresh influx of immigrants to EU countries, of underqualified men at that, the most vilified category that fuels anti-immigrant sentiment. This is bound to shift the attitude of Europeans towards all the refugees they took in so far, and already Germany polls at 62% in favor of sending conscription-aged men back to Ukraine. If they actually manage to get the 25+ ones back at the cost of losing the youngest slice - that’s millions of fresh recruits without pushing the boundaries of what Ukrainians at home can tolerate by further lowering conscription age.

Dang, you weren’t kidding.
I’m really curious what will be the take of Bayan-adjacent groups on this. Will they hate China more than American imperialism, and say that this is kinda justified? Truly a paradoxical situation for them.
don’t even talk to me or my son ever again 😡
Huh, what are you saying? Literally all the sources you mentioned have consistently done tons of great coverage on Gaza? And “reading a report” is not “being obsessed with glazing”.
It’s not a secret at all that israel knew about the raid beforehand.

Crazy business idea mr. bank boss, listen up. Every person becomes a landlord of the property they live in! And if there’s one that nobody lives in, then we ask someone who needs a place to move in and become a landlord. Problem solved!
probably because Japan has 47 prefectures
