and this makes sense as well, I think while in practice the affirmative action in India seems ideal it is far too idealistic and one dimensional. Like just doing it on the basis of race would be in US. Should an Asian kid coming from a fami

This is what affirmative action will look like. If you want to see the context of such an action happening somewhere for long time, take the example of India. There it is much more explicit and written in the law. For some subjects, the cri

Liz Truss is not exactly known for her intelligence. But US and UK with their increased deployment on NATO borders might use it as a cover to put special forces in, but since the fighting is far from the NATO borders right now, I don't

While we don't have a pact with Ukraine, let us not forget that they gave up their nuclear arsenal in 1994 because they were given security assurances. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapest_Memorandum_on_Securit..

Well, for one Queen of England(queen of a lot of other nations as well) doesn't have any power like say what Saudi King or Putin has. She is a mere ceremonial head. Also, from what I have read, the estimates of her wealth doesn't

Oh, this is more on the European nations definitely. Outsourcing their defense to US and being so weak that they can't even do sanctions properly because they need to buy that sweet gas from them.

India and Pakistan both have also fought wars with each other after getting nukes. Sadly, getting nukes seems to be the way out of costs of doing anything bad. Pakistan has waged guerilla warfare against its neighbours and got money from US

If we can't even defend weak from a bully, what's the point of anything; specially when they seem to be asking for help. There are much unjustified and unasked for interventions that have been done even in the recent past. Are all

It might but it also gives Xi something that will immortalise him like Mao. CCP didn't have the military might to fight the British Empire and by the time they could think about fighting UK for Hong Kong, the lease was about to get ove

Not really, it is well alleged that CCP has a lot of military spending off the books. So the % figure of GDP we see might be higher. Also, China's posturing is not just defensive but has an offensive side as well, as seen by the naval

Every time they do this Taiwan has to scramble their own jets in the air. So most likely it is to test Taiwan's response times and wear out their aircrafts. Each flight of those fighter jets adds to a maintenance cost on top of the fue

But China is too much coupled with the western economy to even sanction effectively. I think CCP must be watching this to see the cost and benefits Russia gets for invading Ukraine, which would definitely influence their decision even more

CCP's statements today makes me believe CCP will watch this and see what response West can muster. If sanctions is the best we can have, then God bless Taiwan because it is harder to sanction CCP effectively.

Yes, this definitely wouldn't be allowed there in some areas but isn't this true for most cities. I am all for more housing. But all areas in a city don't need to be redeveloped with high rises.

But then councils can compete with each other, the ones outside even do so. There are tons of high rises coming far from Central London but still reasonable commute to center, but that doesn't necessarily reduce the price of properties

by actuator 5y ago
London doesn't have this problem if I am not mistaken. But housing is very very expensive still. So much that a 3 bedroom 120sqm apartment can be more than 6 million dollars even outside Central London depending on the area.
