Musk also doesn’t want the PLARF shooting down his satellites. He learnt his lesson when his satellites got too close to Chinese satellites.

Nothing worth learning in Taiwan for the Hondurans it seems -

Taiwan bribing nations to recognise it and paying for the all expenses trips by western oligarchs is humiliating. I knew a girl from Honduras who studied medicine in Taiwan, paid for by the Taiwanese taxpayer- Taiwan was extremely generous to these Latin American students and youths to the point where it invited contempt and ridicule from americanised privileged scions of Latin American states who behaved as poorly as their white American co- students.

I hope that Russia is starting to learn it's lesson about India. Some Russian political analyst have started to notice that India is getting closer to the US, but also expects that Russia respects that. But then, India is also not happy about the growing relationship between Russia and China.

India has never stood up for Russia like how China and other Russian allies did. When India argued with the West, it isn't about NATO expansion and arms shipment, but about Western colonial legacy with India. India wants Russia to accept payments in rupees, but not offering much in return. India never truly understands Russia like a true friend and has never tried to. Most Indians barely knew Russian history outside of it's relationship with India since 1947. The true value of India's friendship with Russia should be below that of Mongolia. Friend, but untrustworthy.

Russia only allows India that level of leeway because they’re still hesitant or we’re hesitant about going all in with China, because they know that China will eventually influence Russia to such an extent that they believe they will be as under thr Golden Horde.

I interpret this as Russian spec ops neutralising CIA/CIA backed death squads who were targeting Chinese miners and engineers on BRI projects.

This president of Uzbekistan. I am sure India has that outreach inside Russia as it was keep sending its students to Crimea which is in violation of no foreign visit.
I will even go further. Indian origin people are among the biggest buyer of Gulf real estate and these Arabs do enjoy there dollar peg and every thing associated with it. i have seen high end 30 year old Japanese vehicle in rebuilt form in Crimean video and that can only happen from UAE. so who knows what else they decide based on Arab interests or Arab influenced.
The point i am making is not every thing is so visible among countries.

For millennia, our peoples have been engaged in intensive humanitarian exchanges and trade relations. This process contributed to a mutual enrichment of cultures, traditions and spiritual values.

Such ancient cities as Tashkent and Delhi, Samarkand and Agra, Bukhara and Hyderabad are part of a unique heritage and left a big mark on our common history.

Building on this heritage, Uzbekistan is strongly committed to further developing the strategic partnership and practical interaction in the India-Central Asia format.

, study estimates
The research adds to the evidence that PFAS chemicals are as pervasive as they are long-lasting in the environment.

Apparently not even bottled water is safe.

Stoiber notes that any level of PFAS is concerning and recommends the filtration of drinking water across the board. “Really, you don’t want any level of PFAS in your water because it has been linked to harmful health effects at quite low levels,” she told Vox.

There are a range of water filters that can target PFAS, but they vary in efficacy.

and the experts Vox spoke with, a reverse osmosis water filter is the most effective tool for removing PFAS.

That review found that these water filters — which can be installed under a kitchen sink — are over 90 percent effective at screening out these chemicals. The filters work by sifting water through a membrane that has very “tiny holes,” says Stoiber, and the PFAS molecules get trapped as a result. The downsides of reverse osmosis filtration systems are that they waste significant amounts of water and can be pricey,

.

Activated carbon filters can also reduce levels of PFAS, but were found to be less effective, according to the 2020 study. These types of filters were able to remove, on average,

though there was more variability. They work by attracting PFAS molecules to carbon and can be used in sinks, refrigerators, and pitchers. And while they are more cost-effective, they also have to be replaced promptly, or else their efficacy declines. Standard Brita water filters use a form of carbon technology and can remove some PFAS, but aren’t built for this express purpose, so shouldn’t be counted on solely to filter out the chemicals.

When it comes to PFAS, experts note that filtered water is a better option than switching exclusively to bottled water, which can be costly, wasteful, and potentially include its own contaminants. They say, too, that ingestion poses the biggest risk of PFAS exposure relative to other water uses like showering, hand-washing, and clothes washing. If you can, the best thing to do is to filter your own water if you live in a contaminated area.

“Bottled water is known to have high concentrations of PFAS. There was

a couple of years ago where bottled water had very high concentrations of PFAS in it because it was sourced from PFAS-contaminated water,”

previously told Vox’s Benji Jones. “So I think you’re better off drinking filtered water from a known source.”
