The word encompasses both definitions. Language is about knowing word connotation. In English the word currently favors the “plague” connotation. Keep learning, though. Your English is really good.

I wish that were true, but whites love to rob each other over healthcare, at least in the United States. And more and more the upper classes seek to dismantle universal healthcare in the UK and Europe.


That’s true, but most people associate that word with a mass disease outbreak (basically a synonym for plague), vs a disease that infects a small number of people in multiple places.


Very dumb to believe you can just let the virus spread and it won’t reach new regions. And once it spreads to non-African nations, it may find new animal hosts and become endemic in those new continents.


Chinese debt is largely domestic, so the government can pay it when it’s convenient or choose not to pay it at all.


Iran is playing hard ball. If the US doesn’t meet their demands, they can charge ships and strangle US trade indefinitely. If the US agreed to everything, then they might convince Iran to do most of their oil sales in dollars for a little while, as that’d be the currency Iran would receive their reparations in.


Thoughts and prayers. This whole scheme of economically dictating terms to other nations can only unravel further.


Hard to say, but less oil means higher prices. So Ukraine/Western Europe, and the USA have lowered global supply and spiked prices with their wars.


lol 😂 did Xi tell Putin to enter into the Ukrainian civil war? Was he behind his rise into Russian politics?
Better question: how will he treat him compared to Trump?


They produce 10% of the world’s oil and 24% of its natural gas. Literally one of the most important countries on earth, which the Europeans rely on. When a human starves themselves of food, they die. When Europe starves itself of energy, its economies begin to wither.


His is why digital ID is bad.


Now India has joined against Iran and soon Pakistan will be allied with Iran against India.
India will have to use Pakistani airspace to attack Iran, unless they plan to station forces inside the UAE or launch attacks from out at sea.
India had a small air fight with Pakistan recently. Now they’ve basically declared war.


Add them to the list of collaborators.


The stated reason is barely ever the real reason. Besides, if there are no cartels, who is the CIA supposed to extort for their black books? Hard to buy weapons for your arms trafficking if you don’t have drug money to pay for them.


The current president of Mexico is doing socialist reforms, like universal healthcare. The US wants to overturn Mexican democracy and prevent their quality of life from improving. The US also wants Mexico as a colony within its sphere of influence. Going to war against Mexico would mean actual deaths in the US and citizens are already tired of the war halfway around the world in Iran.


So the CIA funds the Mujahideen, the Taliban and Al Qaeda. That leads to ISIS and Al Nusra.
At times we arm any of these groups to fight whoever we want. Now ISIS has outlived their usefulness and we’re trying to get rid of them by using our chosen winner, who we’ve legitimized by declaring them as the true government of Syria.
Remember that Syria doesn’t have a government. It’s currently run by multiple factions who are being played off each other and fighting each other. There has been no election to decide leadership and if the current declared leadership fails to protect US/Israeli interests they’ll be killed, and then replaced with the next guy.


This will slow the offshoring from China to other countries, but will also disincentivize new production and foreign investment in China. Longterm China will have to deal with a more competitive economic environment, but for now it’s protecting its advantage.
Moving production abroad is difficult considering the supply chains China has meticulously built over the past 3 decades. There are some metal ores for which the Chinese are the sole processors. They have a monopoly on them and no industry can go around that without building their own processing infrastructure (a costly business that is already perfected in China).


The game is rigged and the UK has decided it is an accomplice to crimes against humanity.


Sorry, but clearly the people defending their country are the defenders. I’m not a fan of propaganda or doublespeak.
Let global warming cook me slowly until I’m a nice golden brown.
