Peace is more profitable than war for basics everyone except the US. Only the US' military industrial complex is so geared towards extracting maximum profit.

Frankly, Nazism is also not an exclusively anti-Jewish construct. They were also strongly opposed to the racial identities of the Roma, Poles, and Russians (and killed millions of them during the Holocaust as well), as well as the political ideology of communists.

Nazism was anticommunist by ideology and antisemitic by policy. There was a strong (and misguided) belief at the time that Jews were responsible for the Russian communist revolution and that Jewish communists would come to spread communism. There was a strong (and misguided) belief at the time that Slavs (Russians, Poles, ...) were communists by nature and would come to spread communism. There was also (misguided) belief at the time that the Roma would benefit from communism at the detriment of everyone else. The first concentration camps were used to imprison and execute communists.

China has already decreased their coal power plant utilization from about 70% to about 50%. There's no reason to expect that trend to stop.

You're projecting without evidence based on what you think your country would do.

Many of the organization in Gaza understand this: they have a desire to fight for their freedom, but not a desire to lead.

Xizang is as much a "Chinese word" as Tsawwassen or Denali is an "English word." It's literally a direct phonetic transliteration of the Tibetan name used to describe the land occupied by the TAR.

Beehaw once again back with the shit takes

Tibet is the romanized name for the region (based on Latin Tibetum). Tibetans call the Tibetan plateau "Bö" and Central Tibet "Ü-Tsang."

The original Tibetan Empire (circa 600-800 or something) stretched across the regions of Amdo (modern-day Qinghai), Ü-Tsang (modern-day Tibet Autonomous Region), and Khan (split between TAR and Sichuan). Xizang is a more or less direct transliteration of Ü-Tsang, the territory that makes up the vast majority of the modern-day TAR.

Tibet refers to the entire plateau (also referred to as the Qinghai-Xizang plateau or the Himalayan Plateau) and Xizang refers to the territory made up by the TAR. Xizang has, for as long as I can remember, been the Chinese name for the TAR.

This is manufactured outrage with a clickbait title... About what can be expected from Newsweek.

Edit: for some additional context, China is usually pretty good about keeping local names. See: Ürümqi (Wulumuqi) from the name of Dzungar village there, Kashgar (Kashigaer/Kashi) which has had the same name for millennia and Harbin (Haerbin) from the name of the Manchu village there (among others). Understandably, because Hui and Uyghurs still live in Urumqi and Kashgar, Manchu still live in Harbin, and Tibetans still live in Xizang.

Those babies forgot to condemn Hamas.

From the Mediterannean Sea to the English Channel...

If you don't want people posting documents that say how shitty you are, maybe don't be so shitty? It isn't rocket science, guys

Zaluzhny is not having a good time...

His aide gets Prigozhin'd, his friend Victor Horenko gets removed as Special Forces Commander, and he's publicly butting heads with Zelensky in Western media. Now, Zelensky's government is looking to remove more of Zaluzhny's support base in the military.
