Watching this guy barreling down a waterslide while drinking whiskey with a pack of cigarettes at hand and a crystal ashtray while wearing a full suit with your family at your side is funny as fuck. Kim sure knows how to put on absurd state events.

China is largely dominating the electric bus market too. I doubt Europe particularly wants to bootstrap a lithium mining and refining industry to compete though. The Chinese companies are that vertically integrated.
Saudi has been in a cold war with Iran for decades because it wants to be a regional hegemon and hasn’t been quiet about it. Turkey is more circumspect, giving everybody face while cutting them off at the knees in the shadows. Egypt, by comparison, would much prefer to stay out of everybody’s business and have them stay out of theirs. They’ve got more interests in Sudan and Ethiopia at this point.
What’re we suddenly considering the Saudis and the Turks the moderating influence in the middle east now and Israel and the US aren’t even in the equation? Jesus Christ.
Yeah, gotta export that freedom to them Maori and ignore the rule of law by treaty with them yeah? What’s that got to do with colonialism? Can’t even be related. Who would even think such a thing? I am truly shocked.
Because they wanted to get their minor coalition partners the colonialist vote. Which of course means they wanted the colonialist vote by proxy.
So who can regale us on why the current coalition is running cover for colonialists in New Zealand. I thought that was usually a losing move there.
Let’s fight terrorism with terrorism. That’ll work.
Doesn’t say much on relative danger if you don’t include a ratio between the total imported/sales by country of origin vs total reports.
It removes a sitting president without a gunshot?
Our vote of no confidence is impeachment. Same problem in regards to the party selecting the party leader in the UK. You actually have to have MPs/senators that actually agree.
He wasn’t detained either. He was charged by mail with a summons(postal requisition) and told to show up for his court date in May. In the US an investigative detention means stopping you in one place while in the UK detention generally only means bringing you to the police station and holding you for a charge. In the UK they call the former a stop. You’d have to necessarily be arrested for the later. He didn’t have either happen. I don’t even think he’s in the UK right now(which is likely why they did a postal requisition for a crime as serious as rape without issuing an arrest warrant and starting the extradition process). They want him to come in on his own.
Supposedly they did interview him at one point but that’s about it.
I thought he wasn’t even in the UK to be arrested. Did he go back?
Edit:
Brand has not been placed under arrest, the Met tells NPR. The agency says he was interviewed and then charged via “postal requisition” — a court summons informing him of the charges.

I guess the OP thinks he got arrested by mail since that’s not even the article title.
I think you could take an opossum. They generally forget they can bite while hissing. A puma on the other hand…
I understand the basis of the idea, I just don’t see any actual movement that justifies militarizing Greenland with US troops like he’s suggesting. The only ones seriously threatening to invade Greenland is the US. He’s giving Trump too much political cover by rationalizing his claims.
What is this security anxiety he’s referring to as justified based on? The only recent provocative acts I know about have been exclusively in the Baltic sea or nearby.
Well yeah. When the things price point is driven by ram and not display it makes little sense anymore.
