US is inching closer and closer to some sort of civil strife or civil war lol.

Nope. The US military and its bases fall under federal jurisdiction, so state laws aren't followed. This is a normal procedure since the federal law always supersede state and local ones. Look up the Little Rock Nine. Arkansas tried to continue the segregation of schools, but the federal government used the military to dismantle that system.

As for the idea of these social divisions leading to a civil war, these social divisions have already been there for a very long time. They are just becoming more obvious due to the economic downturn. In democracies, politicians use stupid topics such as abortion's legality to keep their power, especially when their economies go down the gutter, and have no idea on how to deal with their country's economic collapse. In short, the falling economy is currently exacerbating these social issues. However these social issue won't be the main cause of a hypothetical civil war.

The hint is $200 billion USD in public and private money. They probably expect to put $20 billion USD in public money and for the private money to magically appear. It never does. And that $20 billion USD in public money will also likely be only aspirational.

The G7 could not come up with the money for the B3W last year when their economies were in much better shape. What make us think they can come up with the money now that every one of the G7 economy is on the brink of recession.

The thinking might be "well the Europeans are going soft on Russia because they need to buy Russian energy, so if we destroy Russian energy sources then the Russians lose that leverage they have on the Europeans".

Alternatively, they're hitting them on the behest of NATO to try and reduce the Russian income.

Its not tactically sound but there might be strategic benefits, if the war ends up going long and if they can do enough damage.

Looking at the scale of Russian oil production versus what could be hit within the proximity of Ukraine, This has virtually no impact on overall oil production, not to mention all the other types of productions that constitute Russian export, like metals, and agricultural products. It is a roundoff error.

It is more plausible that it is a kid throwing a temper tantrum.

How Japan rises from the ashes of WW2, graduating from cheap textile to the most modern economy today, is relevant to India's aspiration.
Three major decisions the Japanese made were(1) abolished the strict class system. (2) rewrote the constitution to encompass every citizen rights, concentrate on growth rather than the military. (3) modernised the education system based on merit and equal opportunity.
Now if India can solve their caste system, give equal political rights to Muslims Buddhists and Christians, and creates equal opportunity to educate all poor Indians, India will be on the right track.
But to be a US$ 30 trillions economy very soon ....... his judgement is messed up big time by his zealous in countering China.

The article quoted "The minister advised all the stakeholders in the value chain to strive hard, stand united and thereby become the largest manufacturing country in the world"
"the minister said: "We have decided to support SITRA (Supply of Improved Tool-Kits to Rural Artisans) so that they can produce more defence related products which will help our jawans at the border..."

Helping our jawans at the border!!!

That's what Japan said they did. What they actually did:

1. Have a massive industry left over from Imperial Japan that remained in the control of war criminals that were never punished and never had their accumulated profits taken away.

2. Aid in aggression against North Korea and Vietnam during the Korean War and Vietnam War via logistics/supply and profit immensely from it

3. Get billions in aid and investment from a US that was 40% global GDP at the time.

I am not from US, but just curious.

From my understanding federal law does not supersede (or override) state law, but they are supposed to be set in compliance to one another from the beginning of USA. If there is a noncompliance arise later, it is up to the supreme court to settle the dispute. One of them or both have to be changed accordingly. Before such ruling is made on a subject, one does not supersede the other.

The Supreme Court is not the law, it is the interpreter of the relationship of both state and federal law. That is why they could change the same thing back and forth.

What happened in Little Rock Nine was that the supreme court had ruled. The state governor tried to block the entrance of black students NOT in defiance of the ruling, NOR citing state segregation law which by that time is to be amended or has been amended to comply to the ruling. According to this site , the governor used the excuse of "safety for the black students and preventing social unrest". So technically, the federal army did not force the federal law upon the state, there was not a legal conflict.

In the current case, the state law is in compliance to the supreme court ruling. However, the ruling only allows state to make their own anti-abortion law within their jurisdiction that does not include federal territories. The military has no obligation to adhere to the state law within their bases. So I don't see any legal conflict here either.

Sooo.... as the US military is kind of having a hard time to recruit people (various articles on this, also lots of advertisment for healthcare and education lol), they can now recruit more women with advertising that abortions would be legal if you were part of the US military lol?

I guess so. Maybe they can open their military clinic in the base to civilians in the state too.
