Regarding G7's $600 billion infrastructure plan, it's a joke. The U.S. and NATO spent how much in Iraq and Afghanistan? 6 trillion? Yet it's China that is completing the 1,000-school project in Iraq now. Last year, the G7 promised billions dollars for the B3W (Built Back Better World), only a few millions were actually allocated, and nobody even mentions it anymore in this year's G7 meeting.

Despite it being mentioned previously. We somehow keep glossing over it lol.

Unlike China's state-run BRI initiative, the proposed G7 funding would depend largely on private companies being willing to commit to massive investments and is therefore not guaranteed.

This was dead on arrival from the very start. A global recession is looming with extreme uncertainly from Russian energy and fertilizer. No private company will invest in poor countries with such huge risks hovering right over their neck.

Especially, when the Feds are still planning to raise rates by putting a bandaid to heal a severed limb with these tiny interest rates hikes. Too much uncertainly. Too much risk. Confidences is questionable.

I never thought I would say this but this is off the chain, leaders talking about stripping as though they are preparing to do a 'La Tomatina festival', what is wrong with these people. I seriously am praying for serious justice to come down on these people because the leadership of the collective we has fallen to a complete low and the fact that Japan's leaders is happily joining this shit is a good indication as to how much they have prostituted themselves to the west and how low they have fallen from their days during WW2, which while evil and sickening at least was at least threatening, but right now they are almost like a country to betas and mommy lovers that need to hug a anime girl body pillow to comfort themselves at night for not having the balls to actually live as human beings and actually court a woman properly. Maybe China should seriously come and given them a good ass kicking to set them straight because right now, these people are only good for hentai bait and basically having no dignity at all. The fact that the Chinese haven't sunk to this level, shows that China will never sink below these so called Asian democracy ever again

How do you court a women when they basically superglue themselves to the workplace until midnight. They won’t leave out of fear of being ostracized by their colleagues or their boss forces them to work 24/7.

The boss below has to turn off the lights at 10pm to make them leave after a female worker killed herself due to being forced to work +100 hours overtime per month.

Dentsu made changes within the company, including turning off lights in the office at 10 p.m. in an effort to force employees to leave.

An employee of Japan’s largest advertising firm, Dentsu, jumped to her death in 2015. The cause was said to have been depression caused by overwork. Dentsu’s CEO resigned over the controversy and the company was fined for violating labor standards as she had been reportedly forced to work 100 hours of overtime a month.

Sri Lanka has barely enough fuel to last one day – media​

According to the report, the country now has only 1,100 tons of gasoline and 7,500 thousand tons of diesel left in storage.

“Two ministers are going to Russia, and I will go to Qatar tomorrow to see if we can arrange concessionary terms,” Wijesekera told reporters, as cited by Al Jazeera.

“Last week, no fuel vessels sailed to Sri Lanka because Colombo failed to make the necessary payments for the cargo,” Daily Mirror sources said. The country has also been blacklisted by foreign companies because it recently defaulted on its debts and is now required to provide international bank guarantees for new orders.

I don’t see how Sri Lanka is going to survive this mess.

If Japan had the balls to get rid of the US treasuries and actually behaved like a normal nation, not as America's bi*ch, they might've been able to do something but right now, Japan is a nation that is basically shrinking due to the population having not much to look forward to other working themselves to death while the government keeps on sucking the shaft of the red, white and blue, which interestingly enough means that the only way for the Japanese to escape such a fate to get out of Japan and seek freedom elsewhere, such as China for instance, ironically.

Law enforcement said 46 people believed to be migrants were found dead in a tractor-trailer in southwest San Antonio Monday evening in what might be the deadliest migrant tragedy in recent decades. Sixteen others were taken to area hospitals in varying conditions, suffering from heatstroke and exhaustion.

San Antonio police Chief William McManus said the first call regarding the truck came in just before 6 p.m. A city worker in a nearby building heard a cry for help coming from the trailer and called police, McManus said.

San Antonio Fire Department Chief Charles Hood said the doors to the trailer were open and at least one body was outside of the truck. Of the 16 people taken to nearby hospitals, 12 are adults and four are pediatric patients, Hood said. There were no signs of water inside the trailer.

Let's see how the MSM are going to associate this tragedy with China.
