The growing presence of Chinese EV makers in Gulf countries indicates a convergence of interests.
No, the US has been an empire from the start. Unless you don't count conquering and colonizing the indigenous peoples because they aren't "civilized" or something.
She wasn't right about a lot of things, specially relating to the Middle East. Misguided at best, malicious at worst when it comes to the Middle East.
Mothers are so malnourished they cannot breastfeed, so their babies are dying - literally starving to death - because they cannot get the vital nutrition they desperately need.
On the night of March 2 Israel wiped out four generations of my family. I barely survived the slaughter. It is now my responsibility to tell their story.
Türkiye has resumed importing oil from Iran, after years of abiding by Western sanctions on Tehran, according to Iran’s official news agency.
After footage of Israel using a young Palestinian as a human shield went viral last week, the Israeli military has been forced to confirm more such cases.

Complicity in genocide is not confined to the Israeli right. Members of the liberal organization that spearheaded the anti-Netanyahu protests last year are now blocking humanitarian aid to Gaza.
I do agree with you on the need for specialization to better suit children's ability
I have seen people use "unnecessary and pointless" for everything that you may study in high school from classics to calculus. I am thankful that I studied both.
You genuinely believe that older forms of the language shouldn't be maintained for cultural purposes? You want AI to take away human culture and replace it with mass produced generic text?
The US is the biggest producer now ahead of Russia and Saudi Arabia, Venezuela is at 21st. This post is about future production expansion.
I didn't notice, good catch. I wonder if it is an aliasing/resolution issue.
Not sure what you are trying to say. Anyways, we are seeing progress in science and technology happening again because of the availability of capital and investments.
Biden never had a problem with the mass slaughter of women and children. Here's him in 1982:
Begin said Biden “rose and delivered a very impassioned speech” defending the invasion. Begin said he was shocked at how passionately Biden supported Israel’s invasion when Biden “said he would go even further than Israel, adding that he’d forcefully fend off anyone who sought to invade his country, even if that meant killing women or children.” Begin said, “I disassociated myself from these remarks,” adding: “I said to him: No, sir; attention must be paid. According to our values, it is forbidden to hurt women and children, even in war. Sometimes there are casualties among the civilian population as well. But it is forbidden to aspire to this. This is a yardstick of human civilization, not to hurt civilians.” The comments were striking from Begin, who had been notorious as a leader of the Irgun, a militant group that carried out some of the worst acts of ethnic cleansing accompanying the creation of the state of Israel, including the 1948 Deir Yassin massacre.

These Arab-Americans were among Biden's biggest fans. Now they're warning they — and others — could abandon him in 2024.
No one minds you voting for Biden believe it or not. We do mind being demonized and straw-personed for not voting for him.
Yet more progressive than many US states on things like abortion and divorce.
Sherine Hamdy, a professor of Muslim bioethics at the University of California, Irvine, notes that for Muslim women, the U.S. anti-abortion trends are worrying not only because they harm women’s rights to reproductive agency, but also because they diminish religious freedoms, since Muslim religious ethics make a strong case for women’s well-being taking priority over that of the fetus. [emphasis mine]
This means that Americans in states that effectively outlaw abortion, including Alabama, Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and South Dakota, will have fewer human rights protections than those in Iran or Saudi Arabia—countries that are often vilified by politicians across the ideological spectrum for their treatment of women. Iran, for example, allows abortion in cases of fetal impairment, and Saudi Arabia allows for abortion when the health of a patient is at risk—including mental health, which can function to allow for abortion in cases of rape or incest—contrary to only the narrow “life” or “medical emergency” exceptions that are now increasingly common in state bans in the United States. [emphasis mine]
A material analysis explains it. The Middle East gradually became poorer and the local governments couldn't support and promote science anymore. Why they became poorer? Perhaps European colonialism had something to do with it, as it circumvented Middle Eastern trade routes.
The massacres Italians committed in Libya and Ethiopia were the model that inspired Nazi Germany.
This is an absurd lie. The only country that has maintained this mess for so long is the US with the scam it called the Peace Process.

Hymn of Qaniya (Himyarite Hymn to Shams) - English Translation
We seek refuge in you, O good one, your creation so wide,
During Khanwan’s season, a hundred sacrifices beside.
The tribe’s head, Dhu Qasad, you’ve raised with pride,
And Alhan Dhi Yahyar’s chest, you did not let hide.
The poor were fed bread, their hunger denied,
From the valley’s top, the spring’s flow you supplied.
In war and hardship, your strength was our guide,
False rulers, by your hand, were swiftly defied.
The spring’s flow increased, never to subside,
Elaz’s frankincense, you’ve always purified.
Through night’s darkest hours, your light was applied,
Blessings remembered, your provisions multiplied.
The vine into wine, under your sun’s stride,
Camel pastures expanded, as far as the tide.
The upright law, in our hearts, you’ve inscribed,
Covenant keepers rejoice, in happiness they confide.
Qasid’s alliances, with your signature tied,
Betraying nights to clear mornings, you’ve clarified.
Attackers against us, by your might, were denied,
Fortune seekers prospered, their earnings supplied.
Those stumbling in luck, with your portion satisfied,
In fertile Al-Shuaib, abundance you’ve not denied.
Yadhkur’s well with buckets, you’ve always filled,
Praise for your blessings, in our songs implied.
Your promise, O steadfast, forever will abide,
Help us, O’ Shams, when rain clouds coincide.
To you, we pray, for even people were sacrificed,
In your refuge, O good one, our faith is fortified.
