Lock down was a popular demand. People constantly made fun of foriegn countries dying by the mass. It only showed discontent when it lasted for years. Everyone was praising government for responsive action back then. Hindsight bias is happening for sure.

Even when few month before lock down was lifted, the prevailing opinion was that the protestors are selfish. Those who side with protestors are the minority.

Context is very important here. Before the very first lockdown in Wuhan, there was panic and calls for some kind of quarantine action. Maybe some kind of traffic control in and out of Wuhan. But there were no mass demands for a comprehensive lockdown to the point where even people were not allowed to leave their homes at will. That kind of lockdown was unprecedented in modern history. Not even SARS and H1N1 made any government perform a lockdown like that. I'm not criticizing the lockdowns, they were the right thing to do at that point in time. It was just not expected by the common folks, let alone to be demanded by them.

When the first lockdown was implemented, the initial reception was not as popular as later on. There was so much uncertainty early on. But that lockdown prompted people in China to truly realize the gravity of the situation, hence they understood that the government was right all along, and then supported it. Later on, people accepted and supported other impending lockdowns around the country after they saw the situation in Wuhan. Off course, the protesters appeared, and were rightly lambasted for being selfish and failing to understand the situation.

are all those places have same climate that need Green windows and Green lights?. practically every Russian Muslim republic has Green in the flag. Turkish flag is not Green. there is Green inside the shops.

Yes. All those places receive sunlight that need green windows. Toronto has tons of these buildings.

Turkmenistan, Tatar, Uzbekistan have green in the flag. As does Pakistan and Mexico, Italy, Bangladesh, and Algeria.

You're clutching straws here with these color arguments. I'd say, with the pic you posted of green with red dome, using your logic, Bangladesh fits in better than Saudi Arabia because Bengali flag has both red and green. Lol.

• US builds a makeshift port in Gaza for aid delivery
• port is staffed by US soldiers
• port is operated by Israel who decide what goes in
• existing routes of aid delivery through Israeli and Egyptian border remain closed

What a sad PR stunt. Like it's developed by a 11-year old boy playing SimCity for the 1st time.

China builds white buildings. Stars are white. China is clearly a galactic empire.

If not, why can no other "humans" build futuristic cities with the incredible wealth and digitization of China?

You sound bitter from Chinese soft power and not appreciate Chinese wealth that keeps so many people afloat.

But dark green is the flag of Bangladesh. Why don't you call it Bengali soft power?

And this pic you posted of Juma-Jami mosque in Crimea is built in the same style as Camlica mosque and Blue Mosque in Istanbul, built in Turkic-Byzantine fusion architecture by the Ottomans. In fact, most mosques in Crimea are built in Ottoman architecture because Crimea was an Ottoman territory.

Camlica


Blue Mosque

Oh look! Desert color with dark green background for writing! Only problem is that it's in Turkey and built in 1619. Lmao

You sound like one of those people who say J-20 is a copy of the F-22 because they both have wings and a fuselage.

The meeting between Roosevelt and Ibn Saud was unprecedented, but had been set in motion over a year earlier by a visit to the US by two of the king’s sons, both future rulers of their country.
But in meeting with Ibn Saud, Roosevelt had two goals in mind, both of which trod heavily on Britain’s toes: His politically motivated determination to solve the Palestinian-Jewish problem, and the economic and strategic imperative of securing a post-war US relationship with Saudi Arabia, including, crucially, access to its oil.

Putin and Erdogan are expected at the opening of the main mosque of Crimea​

On November 23, a Turkish delegation arrived in Simferopol and visited the construction site of the Cathedral Mosque complex.
“Construction is being carried out under the patronage of the President of Russia and is proceeding according to schedule,” said Aider Ismailov. “We are confident that the mosque will open its doors on time, in 2019.”
