Unfortunately most Americans aren’t interested in international news at all.

That’s pretty great actually

I haven’t seen anyone mention these (but I might have missed it):

• Religion for Breakfast - academic but understandable, digestable and knowledgeable videos about religion.

• Soft White Underbelly - interviews with all kinds of people but mostly people living on the street.

There’s a big difference invading another country and attacking a NATO country though

Putin wouldn’t be stupid enough to directly attack a NATO country… right? He can’t possibly see an upside to that

That’s very well put

It’s kind of crazy that pretty much every assumption Putin had about invading Ukraine turned out to be wrong.

I’ve been in minor hurricanes and they were pretty freaky. I absolutely can’t even imagine what getting hit by a cat 5 must be like.

You do realize that this article is about Switzerland and not Sweden right?

That’s unfortunately only an option if you’re born in or live in a country that gives you that option.

That really sums it up

I hope I live long enough to see some kind of permanent inhabited structure on the moon and a human step foot on mars. Hopefully both will be collaborative international endeavors.

The good news is, so far at least:

President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said via the platform X that there had so been no reported loss of life from the storm.

I think that the fact we’re hearing about this is proof that Ukraine is fighting corruption in a meaningful way.

From the article:

Colombia deepened its military ties with Israel in the late 80’s by purchasing a group of Kfir fighter jets. The war planes… are able to launch laser-guided bombs.

But as Colombia’s fleet of 22 Kfir fighter jets becomes older it also relies more frequently on maintenance from its Israeli manufacturers

So while Columbia could potentially buy new armaments from other places it might be difficult buying replacement parts for these planes. Also since Columbia’s air force is dependent on these fighters buying new fighters means retraining everyone from pilots to maintenance crews. That’s a serious undertaking. If you’ve ever switched phones from iPhone to Android you know the difficulty in muscle memory vs a new GUI layout. Imagine having that difficulty at 30,000 ft going mach 1 (I made those numbers up as just an illustration).

Estate law is very complicated. It’s interesting to see how different countries handle it. Thanks for explaining that to me. I really appreciate it.

I’m sorry I don’t follow you. Can you elaborate?

They’re next. Soon enough you’ll walk into a fast food restaurant and the only employees will be a maintenance man and a janitor. Everything else will be automated.
