As a Canadian I'm proud of my fellow countrymen for helping and accepting refugees. Although most arrive here with nothing, studies have shown they benefit our society in the long run. They contribute massively to our economy and enrich our culture. They overcome daunting obstacles and become productive members of society, and they make Canada a better, fairer and more inclusive place
Turkey won't allow military ships to pass the Bosporus in any direction while there's a war on. This prevents Russia from reinforcing their Black Sea fleet but also prevents Western navies from entering.
The cruise line is concerned about upsetting their passengers, that is all.
Your Democratic vote is the only thing preventing this country becoming a theocracy. We had one term of Trump and look at the damage he caused. Imagine what a second term would look like.
Hopefully, examination of the wreckage will yield valuable information about the cause of the failure and help future designs of deep-sea submersibles.
I was thinking it was just a right wing, anti-immigrant politician, not an actual Nazi. Then I went to check.. holy hell.
Just to add to this, a Prigozhin government would likely be far worse for Ukraine. While Putin had few qualms brutalizing civilians and committing war crimes Prigozhin has none. He's a ruthless, murderous thug. The best outcome would be that he is defeated by the Russian military but that they have to withdraw troops from Ukraine, allowing the Ukrainians to seize the initiative with their offensive. The worst outcomes don't bear thinking about.
It's a result of compassion fatigue. When the first dead migrant children washed up on the Greek coast on people were appalled and transfixed. But the next month there were more dead bodies, and then more. Eventually people stop caring.
I'm old enough to remember "Live Aid". When Bob Geldof got up on stage and said we were going to end world hunger people really believed it was possible. Since then there have been dozens more famines in Ethiopia, and the deaths run to the tens of millions. And now no-one mentions them.
I think that everyone involved in the search already assumed it was an implosion. The sub lost comms and navigation simultaneously which strongly suggested a catastrophic event.
Lemmy is more than worth it just for the lack of "he gets us" ads alone.
Shadow banning.. one of the most Orwellian moderation tools ever.
It's insane that a country which suffered so much under a fascist dictatorship would want to return fascists to power.
