Israel suspending its annexation is excellent for Palestine and very good for Ethiopia. There are ongoing negotiations with Egypt and Sudan about the Abay(Nile) River which is somewhat tense. Sometime ago Trump administration wanted to medi

Interesting you use the word "Awesome" to describe it. Sheer terror and bewilderment would have been my first choice.

There is conflicting report about the cause of the explosion. Some say the warehouse that caught fire was storing fireworks, others state the warehouse was storage for confiscated highly explosive materials. The Footage of the explosion loo

A lot of people including myself would agree with you. But 2020 has been bruising on our mental health so we're not taking any chances.

Makes perfect sense when you put it like that. I didn't realize x kids per carer would mean it can't scale. Thank you.

Third world resident here. $5k a month income would get you living like a king here (with in house nanny) so to hear you have to spend that on daycare alone is insane. If i may ask, What is it about daycare that makes it this expensive? It

Are they? What makes you say that? I would have assumed the CAATSA would make it very difficult to secure big budget sells.

But Russia and these middle eastern countries are not on the same level. In my opinion, the end of oil will hurt Russia but won't destroy it. It has the will, and know how to do whatever is needed. Some of the middle eastern petro stat

I'm an African. I've lived through fantastically corrupt, despotic, authoritarian rule riddled with nepotism and kleptocracy. I find GOP politics to be disturbingly familiar. And it reeks of regulatory and state capture.

5 eyes are more of client states than partners at this point. That's not to say they have no utility, far from it, I think they are very potent. It's just that 'partner' is not the right word to describe them. I say this

I live in Ethiopia. This country has the highest number of livestock in all of Africa. So it's available in quantities. The price for a kilo can range between 7$ to 20$ (if you go to specialized places). The price hikes was driven by h

When US injects 1.5T into the markets, it seems a lot like the US theoretically can absorb 1.5T of goods and services from the rest of the world with money that didn't exist the day before. It seems absurd if true. Can anyone with know
