The Jewish people choose to be in Jerusalem because it’s their ancestral home. The British did not have much sway in deciding where they wanted to go. The only influence they had on the matter was the authority to peacefully let it happen, through their officials, to to deny the Zionist request, and will have to use their weaken and exhausted military try to fight against the Zionist.

If the conflict lasts longer, then their alignment would be immenent.

Indeed. I do think this is why the US is seeking to end the war quickly.

Personally I’m surprised that they didn’t align more. China was being surprisingly passive about the whole thing.

China’s policies is for long term military and economic growth without the use of foreign alliance. The PRC doesn’t like to take risks when they don’t have to, and a rapid military alliance with Russia will come with plenty of risks that the Chinese might want to avoid.

US failed to stop the Russian advancement in Ukraine. So the US is backtracking from the war, in hopes of salvaging it’s relationship with Russia, to prevent another Cold War with Russia + China.

Most of the global community benefits from Trump’s government. They aren’t looking for a regime change. Western nations and US Eastern allies are the ones that are being betrayed.

Ukraine and US are the losers in this war. US have lost considerable influence and goodwill, and Ukraine has lost land and people.

The Federal government should do this in the US.

The tax notice “deals a body blow” to the much-advertised “policy of ease of doing business in India for foreign investors,” the company said.

India has always been difficult for western corporations to do business there. However, western corporations are also notorious for exploiting every rule and regulation they are able to for profit, with complete disregard to the consequence for the rest of society.

The economy of India has drastically change with their current government and is more encouraging to bring foreign corporations to start companies in India, I curious on the outcome of this conflict. I suspect Volkswagen might have a partial win in Indian courts, where they only have to pay some additional taxes, but not the full amount ask by the Indian government.

The ship has a displacement of approximately 5,000 tons and includes stealth technology, combat command systems and firepower integration, “significantly enhancing overall performance,” the navy said.

This type of multi-capable ship will become vital in the future as they don’t require as much manpower as carrier groups. Manpower will become an important resource in the upcoming future as there will be less capable humans that is available for the work.
