I would add that successfully creating the vaccine is not enough. I mean, it has to be injected on a global scale, if not it keeps evolving into new variants, right? But even if there are enough shots available, they're still in the hands of corporations. And as we saw in the past two years, many poor countries didn't get enough to vaccinate even half of their people. Solving the problem doesn't give as much revenue as this scenario.
The only ones who have, so far, actually used nuclear weapons were the British with the depleted uranium bullets. Although to my surprise, these are not considered nuclear weapons by the BBC, even though the Ukrainian soil will probably stay poisoned for quite some time. I hope nobody used to live in the area, because someone would probably try to get back to their old house
Or did i miss the news and the Russians used nuclear weapons?
Treating people from poorer countries as children or "undeveloped" while not questioning the belief that we westerners are at the center of the world. Also don't question the inability of other peoples to develop on their own, because we are the only ones who have the brain to do so? Sorry, I'm struggling to wrap my head around western chauvinists.
They are undeveloped, because obviously our culture is superior, everyone should accept it. Ignore the economic part of the "superiority" or the legacy of imperialism.
This is how racism is born, in a nutshell.
with the exodus, too many libs. We've got to break their ideological bubble, of the cult that is liberalism
I would add that nonetheless, every sovereign country can and should stand up for itself. Also this is not just a couple Qurans burned, its racism more in general on the rise here in europe.
Kuwait just tryna save the day. Meanwhile, Iraq is a lot more enthusiast (if a country can't behave decently, its ambassador might as well move out).
