"It has nothing to do with Covid, let's be very clear. Covid created a crisis, but the issue in hand has nothing to do with it," Mr Erginbilgic said. "Given everything I know talking to investors, this is our last chance."
Mr Erginbilgic took over as chief executive of Rolls-Royce from Warren East, who led the firm for eight years, earlier this month.

Didn't take long for Israel to start stirring shit up again after Bibi came back into power. Still it always boggles the mind how Iran is one of the Middle-East's regional powers and yet Mossad can constantly hit the country like this without impunity. Contrast this with China, which succesfully wiped out several CIA cells back in 2011 when it was still very much a poor country.

Israel just had a big military exercise with the US a few days ago. Obviously this was a planned attack

That twitter account doesn't seem like a very credible source. They also claim that Iranian nuclear facility was completely destroyed lol

2011 China was not a 'poor country', even in GDP per capita nominal which was higher than most ASEAN members except Singapore and Malaysia. At worst, it was moderate. In terms of actual outcomes like literacy, lifespan, patents, fortune 500 companies, etc China already had indicators that at minimum were comparable or better than countries with even double the nominal GDP per capita at the time like Mexico and Turkey (which have since been overtaken) and at maximum were world leading.

Thailand with similar GDP per capita in 2011 did not have SMIC, Huawei, Tencent, Alibaba or any cultural influence outside Thailand.

Belarussian Sabalenka wins the Australian Open despite an official racist hate campaign against her Belarussian nationality by Tennis Australia and the Albanese Government.

Flying the "banned" flag proudly!

It's a petty move from the ATP and WTA from the beginning. Wimbledon banned Russians even though the eventual ladies champion is from Russia but represent Kazakhstan now. The Russians and Belarusian players didn't have their national flag to represent them still in Aus open, just a white flag beside their name. Didnt stop them doing well though. 2 Russians reach the quarters in men's. 3 of 4 semi finalists in ladies were Russian or Belarusians. The 2 finalists in girls division are Russian.

No. For the hegemon, a rising power challenging it is a life and death battle. There can be only one outcome, either live or die. So no, the tensions will continue to be escalating even if an agreement is made

Would a Cold War-style agreement help prevent China-US tensions from escalating?​

China and the US should establish a mechanism similar to the agreement reached between Washington and Moscow during the Cold War to prevent the escalation of tensions, a retired People’s Liberation Army officer said last week.
But his suggestion prompted a sceptical response from a former US Defence Department official who managed military-to-military relations between China and the United States.
