I'd impulsively sit in 7 thinking the one lady on here (who is it?) might be the most chill but she also looks like she'd threaten to stab me if I tried to talk to her and I'd be stuck sitting silently the whole flight intensely regretting my decision while Pringles puts his bare feet up on the empty seat across the aisle and flicks his spit at me with a toothpick

BREAKING: BRICS high command officially announces: "the I stands for Israel, sorry India"

MOSCOW, June 13. TASS.

Russia expresses grave concern over the dangerous escalation in the Middle East and strongly condemns Israel's military actions against Iran, which violate the UN Charter and international law, the Russian Foreign Ministry stated.

full statement"We express our utmost concern over the dangerous escalation of tensions in the Middle East. We strongly condemn Israel's forceful campaign which violates the UN Charter and norms of international law," the ministry stressed.

"Unprovoked military strikes against a sovereign UN member state, its citizens, sleeping peaceful cities, and nuclear infrastructure facilities are totally unacceptable. The international community cannot afford to treat this kind of atrocities indifferently, as they destroy the world and jeopardize regional and international security," the Russian Foreign Ministry said.

Moscow also expects that the West, which provoked anti-Iran hysteria in the International Atomic Energy Agency, will now realize the results of its harmful policy.

"We also hope that the Western states, which provoked anti-Iran hysteria in the IAEA Board of Governors and once again pushed through an opportunistic resolution to please their political preferences and phobias that did not receive universal support, will realize the disastrous effects of their course and the extent of their guilt for the tragedy."

The ministry also said it is obvious that West Jerusalem has made a deliberate choice towards further escalation to raise the stakes. "Responsibility for all the consequences of this provocation will rest on the Israeli leadership," the ministry added.

"We are closely monitoring the IAEA's actions, which bears a great responsibility in this challenging situation. The agency's staff, along with Iranian citizens, have also come under Israeli fire. We expect the IAEA director general to make balanced and objective assessments of what is happening, including a thorough analysis of the likely radiation consequences of the attacks on nuclear facilities," it noted.

Situation around nuclear deal:

The Russian Foreign Ministry stressed that "no matter what explanations those who planned, developed and carried out the attack on Iran may use to justify it, the crisis around the Iranian nuclear program cannot be resolved by military force and can be settled exclusively through peaceful, political and diplomatic means." "We hope that this is the approach that will ultimately prevail. We call on the parties to exercise restraint in order to prevent further escalation of tensions and the region's slide into full-scale war. In this regard, we recall the US readiness to hold another round of talks with Iran on its nuclear program in Oman," the ministry concluded.

Russia understandably seems really pissed about the targeting of nuclear facilities potentially becoming normalized since the Ukies keep messing around with that on their front

Al Jazeera: Israel today launched early morning attacks against targets in Iran. What’s China’s comment? 

Lin Jian (Foreign Ministry Spokesperson): China is closely following Israel’s attacks on Iran and is deeply concerned about the potential grave consequences of the operations. China opposes actions that violate Iran’s sovereignty, security and territorial integrity, and opposes moves that escalate tensions and enlarge conflicts. The abrupt heating up of the region serves no one’s interests. China calls on relevant parties to choose the course of action that is conducive to the region’s peace and stability, and avoid further escalation of the tensions. China stands ready to play a constructive role in helping ease the situation.

Iran should ask to "borrow" a nuke from the DPRK until they get their own centrifuges spinning up again, just for personal protection

[–] [email protected] 27 points 5 days ago

after what they did to Gaza I consider basically any target in Israel fair play. can't expect protection if you don't give it

I do wonder how their populations tolerate that shit though, were the repressions a decade ago that effective? Egypt has seemed particularly quiet while a genocide of Arab people occurs next door, do they still have nightmares of 1967 or something? military government will just kill you?

Navin Gruesome is hand wringing about it when it is his own forces. He is the governor. He controls the cops and national guard.

that cowardly fucker should have just countermanded Trump, told the national guard to return to barracks or back to their pool supply shops or whatever. That would have caused some real confusion in the ranks and probably paralyzed the deployment. Even if you're a civility lib the LAPD could handle beating the protesters themselves, there was no reason for the national guard besides Trump and his ego wanting to see blood in the streets. And if trump arrests the governor, so what? unless he fucking executes him for treason he'd be basically a guaranteed future president once trump has a heart attack for that easy move

though theoretically... and please tell me if I'm wrong, Russia might not have much of an objection, in fact a huge fossil fuel shock might give them a nice economic boost to finally finish up in Ukraine while the oil addicted EU is thrown into chaos as they lose yet another energy source putin-wink

China is primarily coal and renewable reliant too and has good electric transport links with HSR. The US has lots of domestic oil but is also sensitive to price increases due to the inefficiency of car-centric transport. Global south is probably fucked unless you still have oil that hasn't been stolen by the west yet.

Its unlikely the world would be happy about it but maybe Iran can escape getting invaded from all sides or nuked if they do it (if say Russia or China says they would retaliate if US/IOF uses nuclear weapons). USA would probably go to war with Iran, but at this point it is looking like that may happen anyway

 

no I don't have a link, its probably not worth reading beyond the funny title anyway

 
 

WASHINGTON—Promising a glorious future marked by limitless prosperity for the East Asian nation, President Donald Trump outlined a bold vision Tuesday night for a golden age of China. “Under my leadership, a prosperous new era of Chinese dominance will begin, the likes of which have never been seen before,” Trump said in an address to a joint session of Congress, insisting that China, finally unbridled from the foreign policy of former President Joe Biden, would reach its full potential and claim its rightful place as an unmatched global powerhouse. “Mark my words, the People’s Republic will be the envy of the world. That I can assure you. As long as I’m in charge, nothing will stand in China’s way. My newly implemented tariffs will spur China to be more self-sufficient, stable, and affluent going forward. Believe me when I say we’re going to make China a lot of money.” Trump went on to state that people he had talked to were already calling it the second Ming dynasty.

 

These heath insurance companies are very nasty people, very very rude and very unfair to the people. They are stealing the paltry remnants of our surplus value and no one is doing anything about it. The proletariat comes up to me everyday and says, Comrade Luigi will you lead the revolution? And I gotta turn to them and say: Look, you gotta go on this long, very long march to save America, I can't do it for you. I don't even read theory. Believe me, you gotta trust me on this one. The bourgeoisie, the Crooked Democrats never wanted to depose them. Well guess what? I deposed one of them. Brian Thompson? He's done for folks. Everyone told me they said, "Comrade Luigi your propaganda of the deed wouldn't succeed" and they would laugh, the liberals laughed, the capitalists laughed, guess who's laughing now?

 

Unlimited CEO assassinations on the first world. You have done a public service you goddamn legend. Unironically braver than the moron troops, though I pray for the day air support can be finally called in to eliminate these social parasites. antifa-supersoldier

waow-based

 

Completely understandable how those things could drive a person over the edge tbh

 
 

The Shidaowan nuclear power plant, which features the world's first fourth-generation reactor, started commercial operations on December 6, China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC), one of the project's developers, said.

"China's independently developed high-temperature gas-cooled reactor demonstrator commenced commercial operation," CNNC said in a statement.

"It signifies that China has completed the world's first commercially operational modular nuclear power plant with fourth-generation nuclear technology, marking the transition of fourth-generation nuclear technology from experiments to the commercial market."

Generation IV reactors are considered safer and more efficient.

"The tests confirmed that commercial-scale reactors could be cooled down naturally without emergency core cooling systems for the first time in the world. It is the so-called inherently safe reactor," Tsinghua University, one of the joint developers of the reactor, said.

Such reactors can produce heat, electricity, and hydrogen and would help China and the world "become carbon neutral," Zhang Zuoyi, dean of the Tsinghua University Institute of Nuclear and New Energy Technology and chief designer of the Shidaowan reactor project, told South China Morning Post.

The fourth-generation reactor in operation now puts China "ahead of other countries in terms of nuclear technology research and development," Francois Morin, China director of industry group World Nuclear Association, told The Wall Street Journal.

According to Morin, Western countries are set to launch their fourth-generation nuclear reactors only in the early 2030s.

David Fishman, a China-based senior manager at energy consulting firm Lantau Group, told the Journal that "China is arguably peerless in actually building and commercializing next-generation nuclear power technology."

Many countries in the West, with the notable exception of Germany, have recognized that nuclear power generation would help them achieve net-zero emission goals.

At the COP28 climate summit currently underway in Dubai, the United States and 21 other countries pledged to triple nuclear energy capacity by 2050, saying incorporating more nuclear power in their energy mix is critical for achieving their net zero goals in the coming decades.

The United States, alongside Britain, France, Canada, Sweden, South Korea, Ghana, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), among others, signed the declaration at the COP28 climate summit.

"The Declaration recognizes the key role of nuclear energy in achieving global net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 and keeping the 1.5-degree Celsius goal within reach," the U.S. Department of State said.

China is not a signatory to that declaration, but it aims to develop more nuclear energy capacities to reduce emissions as its demand for electricity rises. xigma-male

As of 2020, nuclear energy accounted for 5% of China's generation mix, which continued to be dominated by coal, per data from the World Nuclear Association.

By 2035, nuclear energy is expected to make up 10% of the electricity generation mix and 18% by 2060, Chinese media quoted the China Nuclear Energy Association (CNEA) as saying earlier this year.

As of September 2023, China had 55 nuclear power units in operation with a combined installed capacity of 57 GW, and 24 units under construction with a total installed capacity of 27.8 GW, Xinhua quoted CNEA official Wang Binghua as saying. By 2060, that capacity is expected to jump to 400 GW, the official said.

China is also expected to approve six to eight nuclear power units each year "within the foreseeable future."
