Talking about Arabians creating a state from the Caspian sea to the Arabian Sea, being the centre of the world energy trade, Arabian soft power, Russia energy pipelines are doomed to fail.
It is becoming abundantly clear. There is an irrational fear of Russia exporting gas, gaining market share, and geopolitical leverage in Central Asia because it doesn’t align with Arabian supremacy.

The same way it was agreed to in Canada. Elect a crap government, get a crap result
Go easy on the guy

Well, IMO it shows the desperation of the Taiwan government.
Basically they are out of ideas.
Look at all they've done in the last few years to try to stem the talent outflow
1. Ban mainland headhunters
2. Turn working for mainland China companies into a criminal matter
3. Subsidize youth employment including bonuses and company salary guarantees
Can TSMC open the R&D center in mainland China? lol
They are opening the facility in the US, but the US is actually the largest brain drain destination, so it only makes the problem worse.
It is not unusual to hear of salary offers from mainland companies for software/semiconductors and other high demand sectors that are 2X or 3X vs. Taiwan companies. It is simply not competitive. How can the Taiwan government make up such a wide gap? It cannot, so you get the Indian solution.
Fireworks - the poor man's flash grenade.
It is altered primarily to prevent detonation and explosion during handling & transportation in commercial use. It's not very difficult to alter it back into it's explosive form. Can do it at home.
Engaging with pmc is like contracting the flu - everyone gets it once for a short time and then they recover. There's no escape.
That explosion appeared far more severe than a simple battery fire.

The systematics of genocide
Israel: "We treated wounded al-Qaeda on humanitarian grounds".
Q: "Would you treat Hezbollah?
Israel: "No."
5D chess cope, does anyone even believe this?
The Taiwanese govt already proposed this many months ago. There was huge backlash and they recanted - temporarily.
They later clarified recruitment would be from the North-Eastern Indian states since many there look East Asian and have "similar cultures". This caused some backlash in India due to perceived racism against the vast majority of brown Indians.
It'll be interesting to watch how this evolves.
