The faiths are a little different, but Wahhabism isn't far removed from Sunni Islam. In any case, since 7 October the Saudis have been talking with Iran about working with them, instead of Israel.
Lol the Saudis used Israeli spy tech to spy on the family of the journalist they murdered, Jamal Khashoggi. They may well have used it on him as well, however his devices were never recovered so that was never proven. The sale of the tech was approved by the Israeli government, and the company that sold it claims they have full oversight over who their customers target.
That's completely beside the point you were making, but I really felt the need to mention it nonetheless. War is a tangled web, the only consistent thread is money.
No hard feelings dude, I appreciate your genuine input.
I didn't mean to be so mocking with my first reply to you, I really couldn't make out what point you were making. My comment before last wasn't meant to be sarcastic, but I can see how it could come off that way.
You weren't the one who said it was a debt trap, so no issue there. However I wasn't saying China was doing this for no reward out of the goodness of their hearts, rather it is something of a mutually beneficial deal for most countries. This is because China is trying to sweet talk them into it - China really wants their resources, and also maybe some strategic advantages, so they're willing to help build the infrastucture to get it. The only people who could make this a bad deal are the ones negotiating the sale of resources, they have what China wants and as such have the upper hand in the negotiation.
In general, China's international practices are terrible, in my opinion. You only have to take a brief glance at the South China Sea to see that, or look at Hong Kong, Taiwan or the Uyghur people, or how they basically admitted to harvesting organs from prisoners (at some point they basically said "we're not doing it anymore", meanwhile their transplant industry continued its exponential growth). However, when it comes to the Belt & Roads Initiative China isn't playing the bad guy, as far as I can tell. Doing so would cost them.
That one example doesn't make them the good guys, of course, but that also doesn't mean building road and rail through these countries isn't a good thing.
All the best to you, friend.
Hence it is easy to grow on rocky terrain that never had a forest there.
Yeah a reasonable person would decide that on the balance of probabilities here, but we're talking about the process through which a licence is revoked, which needs to be more concrete.
Yes but for that to stick there has to be a clear obligation to present everything. Frankly, I don't think they lost their licence because of the omission, but because of what happened - this article is just trying to make the story more dramatic. Even the title subtly implies this, the licence wasn't revoked "because" it withheld footage, but "after".
Are you ok? Suddenly coming unravelled like that could be a sign of dimentia.
Yeah I'm sure China are doing it for their own advantage, but Afghanistan are still getting infrastructure they wouldn't have had - in particular the route is going through the mountains, where there are no easy roads currently. There are significant benefits for thw other countries involved in the scheme, too.
Yeah, after all the crap they gave John Fetterman as well!
Or anyone who makes a particular search.
The big issue is that it's not law enforcement that enforce this, it's everyday people - and those people are given immunity by this law.
Yeah from memory it was the default for Samsung, but stock Android had it the other way around. I've always preferred it, much easier to reach with my thumb while holding it in my right hand. I always swap it (custom firmware ensures this) and also have it set so a long press of the back button will force close any foreground app.
If you've got a Pixel phone I would look at installing GrapheneOS on it. Even if it's a work phone, chances are they won't know. If they find out, say you were ensuring the security of your device, for the benefit of both you and your employer.
