Normally when an industrialized nation enters a war-time footing there is a shifting of industrial capacity and increase in production to supply the war effort. That the opposite has happened is further evidence of Israel being nothing more than a colonial outpost of greater powers. They don’t have the industrial capacity and infrastructure of a real nation-state, instead relying on the economic output of the US, EU, and Russia to prop them up.
Privatizing the US national helium reserve. Gonna laugh when in a few years the government of another nation ends up owning it. Helium is dwindling finite resource that key technological infrastructure relies upon.
“Essentially, overshoot is a crisis of human behaviour,” says Merz. “For decades we’ve been telling people to change their behaviour without saying: ‘Change your behaviour.’ We’ve been saying ‘be more green’ or ‘fly less’, but meanwhile all of the things that drive behaviour have been pushing the other way....

Funniest part is they got owned by either Somali fishermen or Houthi fighters. Also the US are such fkn hypocrites to scream about Yemenis interdictions off the coast of Yemen when the US has been covertly doing it in the same area for the past decade. This isn’t US waters, ridiculous. The US only ever talks about it when their SEAL teams get owned and there are too many questions.
Also, can’t help but see the BRI guys feeling a little extra smug about their plane for overland transport through the Middle East.
I had actually forgotten that China’s belt and road initiative involved electrified freight train routes from China up through Russia or the middle east into Europe proper. Iirc there is also work to build routes from China deep into Africa to allow reliable trade of resources and goods without ocean going freight.
Years ago I was honestly surprised to learn that there wasn’t already a reliable freight train network connecting all of continental Asia, Africa, and Europe. That everyone was sending freight longer distances via ocean going freight traveling around continents rather than via rail in straight lines over land seemed so wasteful. Ocean going freight should only be necessary for oversized freight, island nations, or freight between the eastern and western global hemispheres.
Yeah. I remember something about everyone intentionally using incompatible rail gauges out of fear that other nations would use trains for military invasions. It’s only been in recent decades where we have started to see a globally adopted standard rail gauge for freight networks.
Here the KUN-24AP container ship would be a massive departure with its molten salt reactor.

If you want to create a generation of antisemites, this is exactly how you go about it. I have to wonder if zionists welcome, even stoke, anti-semitism outside Israel because it helps drive Jewish people to Israel.
