Ironic, because "HK is not China", until they want to blame China for racism.....which means "British HK racism = China racism".

EU Looks Into Blocking Out the Sun as Climate Efforts Falter​

The European Union will join an international effort to assess whether large-scale interventions such as deflecting the sun’s rays or changing the Earth’s weather patterns are viable options for fighting climate change.

The bloc will announce a framework Wednesday for assessing the security implications of a rapidly warming planet, such as the potential for scarce water or food to trigger conflict and migration, according to a draft document seen by Bloomberg. Part of that assessment includes studying the potential dangers of re-engineering the atmosphere.

“These technologies introduce new risks to people and ecosystems, while they could also increase power imbalances between nations, spark conflicts and raises a myriad of ethical, legal, governance and political issues,” according to the document, which is subject to change.

Embarking on this research pushes the EU into the debate over whether so-called climate geoengineering is good science or just a science-fiction distraction with potentially dangerous implications for the planet and its atmosphere. The bloc would like to see international discussions on creating rules for the fledgling sector.

“The EU will support international efforts to assess comprehensively the risks and uncertainties of climate interventions, including solar radiation modification,” according to the document.

It's not just shipbuilding. South Korea's economy is under siege on all fronts: memory, foundries, batteries, automobiles, solar panels, home appliances, smartphones, displays, telecommunications, gaming, etc. Frankly, the future of that nation is unclear.

Well, South Korea is not the first country that holds grudge against China because they can't compete with China effectively anymore.

They have nukes. Israel has won decisively every time the Arab world attempted to destroy it. It's here to stay.

I don't understand how people ridicule the Baltics and Poles for fantasizing about destroying Russia, a country armed to the teeth with nukes, and then turn around and do the exact same thing with respect to Israel.
It actually makes even less sense because unlike Russia Israel also has overwhelming conventional superiority against its enemies on top of the nuclear factor.

Arabs were barely coming out from foreign rule. when they have to confront Israel. there societies simply not designed to incorporate modern warfare and scientific thought. Today Arabs are very sophisticated. They know Israel is burden on West but they are using Israel as lobbying power for there interests which can be against Turkey and Europe. if Israel lobbying power decreases or Germany unable to produce goods that are required by Arab world than Israel will need Arab protection from Iran. Israel with higher per capita has cost of living crises. Look at Israel trade with Asia and its need for Indian/Asian workers. it is increasingly one sided and how you trade with Asia without going through Arab world.
There is video where UAE president introduce his younger sibling to Turkish president as the owner of English Football club. The point is this high profile match of two Europeans foot ball clubs were played in Turkey but he still has to remind him that this is the owner of the club like that is some kind of favor of bringing foot ball match earnings to Turkey. They really are satisfied what the have achieved with Turkey. and they want to achieve the same dominance over Europe.

The PRC was asleep at the wheel and allowed people who un-ironically refer to the mainland as Shiina to write the educational curriculum and also allowed oligarchic families handpicked by England to squat on all the land. This was only going to end one way.
