Russia has a lot of grain it can’t sell, NK has a famine and a lot of (probably rusty) soviet shells. It’s a match made in a goulag.

As if the only impact of climate breakdown is heat. Also; where is India and china’s contribution to climate change. Frankly, this is bullshit.

You hit the nail on the head there.

I expect all you have to do is follow the money to find out why their ideology is so flexible!

This is a well researched article which cites its sources and wasn’t posted by a Reddit bot so I have to wonder who is downvoting it?

I’ve worked as a civil engineering consultant in china, comparing how the deliver a major rail project to here in the uk is frankly moronic. It isn’t bias, it’s fact

You only mentioned china, where they don’t report on land costs because all land is state owned but yes I do believe land compensation is much less in china, not least because HS2 land compensation is significantly above market rate. Also; an authoritarian regime with only superficial regard for the health and well-being of their workers, that are paid almost nothing is certain to be cheaper. Suggesting otherwise is banal.

Edit to add Troll alert.

The land cost alone for hs2 runs into the billions, it’s just very expensive to do.
