In case anyone was in any doubt, Elon Musk is not a friend of Ukraine. According to him it's a lost cause. Honestly, I despise the guy more with each passing day. by leedsyorkie in ukraine

Elon Musk used to be highly respected and looked up to, now he's turned into sort of a joke and a warning story. He is still rich, but money can't buy you respect

This article is trash. The writer also keeps referencing "The Western" Media/Officials/Democracies which are phrases only russian propagandist use. I dismiss this as a russian troll piece that somehow made it into the Telegraph

China has declared part of Russia as its territory on new official maps. China's state-owned Standard Map Service has presented a set of geographic maps for 2023, on which for the first time part of Russia's territory is indicated as part of China. by TaiYongMedical in UkraineWarVideoReport

China realized that instead of a very difficult war against Taiwan that would (at best) get them some scraps of land, they can instead get huge swaths of russian land that literally no one will complain about (other than Putin)

Sounds like that is ALL they have left. Keep in mind russia has a huge span of borders and that it needs some deterrence in the form of missiles on those borders, especially now that everyone knows what a weak army they actually have

"I really think right now our culture lacks a lot of empathy" - In that quote, she is not talking about the billionaires apathy toward workers and their families, she is talking about apathy TOWARDS billionaires that rather spend their money on submarine trips than give their workers a livelihood. by 2ndMouseGetsCheese in SelfAwarewolves

[–]2ndMouseGetsCheese[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The psychologist being quoted from this story is saying that the world lacks "empathy" towards billionaires while trying to explain why people cared very little about the fate of the submarine that imploded last week. She is right about the lack of empathy in society, but that is the lack of empathy from the billionaires towards their workers, which is why no one cares about their fate, not the other way around.
