I wish we’d learn the lesson that manipulating other countries often ends up in people being reactionary and turning toward religious nationalism to fight back against the foreign enemy. This government is in power because of Western governments’ actions. And then supporting a brutal proxy war against them and trying to isolate them internationally after that failed sure hasn’t helped. It just fuels the reactionaries.
Canada only has a total land area of about 10 million square km. The amount of forest (10 million hectares, or 100k square km) that has burned so far this year already make up 1/100th of that total.
In other words, in just the first half of this year 1% of the world's second largest country has gone up in flames.
Important news, but they gotta start proofreading their articles better:
The city of Phoenix, which has been experiencing temperatures above 109.4F (43C) for 17 days in a row, was granted some modest reprieve on Sunday by a thick cloud cover, which was expected to keep the temperature around 115F (46.1C).
I'm not seeing how an increase from 109 to 115 degrees is a reprieve.
I think it’s just a weird wording, but not factually wrong. I read that as it would of been higher than 115F but thick cloud cover helped to keep it at that lower temperature.
As I said months ago. In a war between the diet version of something and the pure version, the diet one always loses.
It wasnt about a secular government and freedom to not worship, it was about the rules being relaxed a bit. You don’t fight to the death for showing your hair you fight to the death for sky-daddy.
Until they are willing to burn korans they will continue to live in a theocratic state.
I’m not debating anything you said, just making conversation. I liked your idea of diet vs. pure, but wasn’t able to figure out if it fits into American politics as they currently exist.
I think it doesn’t, because Dems aren’t very well characterized by the “pure/diet” dichotomy.
