DPP is Taiwan's current governing party. Rather tight ties with the US government funded National Endowment for Democracy (NED).
Ah yes, the classic "domination through trade"
Last I checked, China's been developing every energy source known to man (except O&G, because they don't have a domestic supply of O&G except in the contested waters of the SCS)...
China is the world leader in new nuclear development, new hydro development, solar panel manufacturing, wind turbine manufacturing, solar panel deployment, wind turbine deployment, electric vehicles, and carbon capture+storage.
Maybe if other economies would help pick up the slack? China's been firing on all cylinders towards green tech for decades, but it turns out that urbanizing and industrializing 1 billion people to a Western standard of living is really fucking energy-intensive. Meanwhile, everyone else is just sitting on their ass and watching.
"let's blame Hamas for the recession because we sure as hell can't blame Russia for it"
Do you understand the sheer scale of a million refugees? That these refugees will never be allowed back?
This same exact hospital has been bombed by the IDF in the past. Occam's razor exists for a reason.
That sounds pretty correct. From what I remember of the reporting at the time, we heard of the offensive, then immediately we had multiple reports, videos, and streams of the IDF bombarding Gaza.
Everyone knows that the UN is a Hamas front. Providing the UN with water is akin to providing Hamas with the heads of babies.
Sorry, need to use those shells on humanitarian convoys in Gaza.
Because the last time Gazans tried a peaceful protest, thousands of people got shot by the Zionist regime: https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2019/02/no-justification-israel-shoot-protesters-live-ammunition
Because Palestine cannot win a conventional war against Israel.
Because Palestine cannot let the status quo continue to oppress them, because the status quo is itself encroaching on Palestinian land and Palestinian rights.
Do you have a better solution? These attacks have caused a massive flight of people from Israel, have forced the Bank of Israel to take very aggressive action to avoid the collapse of the shekel, have mobilized the countries bordering Israel, and have indicated that Palestinian resistance is not hopeless.
You'd imagine that support for revolutionaries seeking self-determination would be stronger in the West given the origins of the modern American and French state.

We are the top 1%.
What's unmentioned is that the top 1%, the top 2%, the top 5%, even the top 10% has a disproportionate impact on emissions. That group is made up mostly by the West, but also the rich elite in China, India, Russia, Brazil, Indonesia, etc.
