HowRu68,

The banks were among the guarantor lenders under a contract for the construction of a gas processing plant in Russia with Germany’s Linde, which was terminated due to Western sanctions.

Three weeks after one of Brazil’s worst-ever floods hit its southernmost state, killing 155 people and forcing 540,000 from their homes, experts have warned that water levels will take at least another two weeks to drop.

The death toll across Rio Grande do Sul is still increasing daily, and more than 77,000 displaced people remain in public shelters, prompting the state government to announce plans to build four temporary “tent cities” to accommodate them.

HowRu68,

Well put.

HowRu68,

This atack , but also some other events like in Paris, Zwitserland, Belgium, made me more aware of the risen terrorist theat levels, issued by a.o. Europol. Some years after 9/11 USA, I just got desensitised to it, or maybe I already was.

Anyhow, fyi terrorism in numbers was the most recent and comprehensive info I found. The numbers now are probably much higher.

The results showed that between 2004 and 2022, a total of 208 terrorist attacks occurred in the EU, with the majority of these attacks (118) occurring in just three countries: France, the United Kingdom, and Germany.

HowRu68,

This incident wasn’t a terrorist attack though.

apparent mental health issues

Well, both statements would be an or your opinion. But, as the court specifically investigated, these are the only facts we have atm, quote:

"She told Alid that psychiatric reports found no evidence of psychosis “or any other serious mental illness”

“Also The judge, Mrs Justice Cheema-Grubb, told Alid he had “hoped to frighten the people of Britain and undermine the freedoms they enjoy” when he murdered Carney in a terrorist attack.

Also I’d put all kind of atacks as terroristic using a broader definition because a so called " political motivation”.

Generally, I’d consider extreme right atacks equally terroristic. So, you mention thousands of atacks by right winged extremist, I know they’ve been raising. Happen to have some info on that, for comparison?

I don’t see the need to downplay any kind of terroristic atack, by whatever political motivation they might have, whether , right/ left/anarchist or whatever. It’s the killing of innocents that has me worried.

HowRu68,

Thx, always good to have some more context.

Taiwan is selling more to the US than China in major shift away from Beijing (apnews.com)

WASHINGTON (AP) — Whether it’s tapioca balls or computer chips, Taiwan is stretching toward the United States and away from China — the world’s No. 2 economy that threatens to take the democratically ruled island by force if necessary....

Marked NSFW because of controversial and highly sensitive topic worldwide . If unnecessary, I’ll remove the tag.

edit: tagged removed

HowRu68, (edited )

How so? If you mean the tag, see comment.

Edit: Uhu… because the title makes it sound like the start of a kind of an old sailor bar joke. In retrospect, the title does sounds weird.

And still whistleblowers are being sentenced, jailed, prosecuted by Gvements ( and sometimes killed)

I get the security thing, but war crimes and industrial crimes should be measured on another different scale altogether. Most of those guys should get a medal, imo. WTF?!

HowRu68, (edited )

Yeah sure but they just don’t realize how bad the situation is.

I guess you must be right. Probably, outsiders ( like me) can’t phantom what’s really going on…

HowRu68, (edited )

I don’t know, I don’t have that much confidence about them forming a proper coalition.

They’ve been saying stuff like this for half a year, and it’s been like the muppetshow. No offence for muppets btw.

Thousands protest in Georgia after lawmakers pass controversial ‘Russian law’ (www.france24.com)

Thousands of protesters rallied Tuesday in Georgia after parliament adopted a law to brand overseas-funded NGOs as groups under “foreign influence”, a measure Brussels has warned will undermine Tbilisi’s European aspirations.

HowRu68,

Russia has used a similar law to silence public figures and organisations that disagree with or deviate from the Kremlin’s views. Georgian society is widely anti-Kremlin. Georgia’s bid for membership of the EU and NATO is enshrined in its constitution and—according to opinion polls—supported by a majority of the population.

HowRu68,

"A higher regional court in western Germany rejected on Monday an appeal by the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party against its classification as a “suspected” far-right extremist organization.

The judges at the court in Münster said the designation was appropriate and did not violate the constitution or European law.

In an area in eastern Serbia, a steel mill acquired by Chinese company HBIS became synonymous with environmental degradation and health hazards for the local community (www.onegreenplanet.org)

In the villages surrounding the eastern Serbian city of Smederevo, trouble has brewed over the last eight years. Once a symbol of economic promise, the steel mill acquired by Chinese company HBIS has become synonymous with environmental degradation and health hazards for the local community....

HowRu68,

Sounds horrible…
