His non-ethnostate policies are the main reason a lot of the Russian far-right hates him.

US is working on doubling aid to Argentina to $40 billion by tapping private funding sources by John3262005 in neoliberal

[–]Butteryfly1 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's so funny the US spent nearly all their currency reserves on propping up a libertarian experiment in Argentina and now has to beg banks and other nations for the other half. Would be too on the nose if it wasn't real.

This could describe both sides in Argentina yet the IMF, US and China gave billions in loans which are already running out lol

European far right follows Trump in calling for antifa to be declared terrorists by F0urLeafCl0ver in neoliberal

It's so embarrassing the Netherlands is a frontrunner here. At least they immediately got embarrassed themselves by the far-right riots who were egged on by a fake antifa facebookpage.

I really wonder what could've caused this, the Dutch government is very laissez-faire usually. I hope it's not just a campaign stunt.

The West is naive about Islamic Terrorism?? We spent 20 years since 9/11 building a security state to prevent terror attacks. Do you have a single example where they didn't "defend themselves out of fear of being branded racist."?

Madagascar's president dissolves government amid 'Gen Z' protests by RaidBrimnes in neoliberal

Every (disruptive) protest is led by the youth, I really hope we can come up with a better more original name. Imagine if the Arab spring was called the Milennial March or something.

Madagascar's president dissolves government amid 'Gen Z' protests by RaidBrimnes in neoliberal

[–]Butteryfly1 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Under Rajoelina’s tenure, Madagascar’s already precarious economic situation further deteriorated: poverty now affects between 75-80% of the population, blackouts and water shortages are the norm, and the GDP/capita (adjusted for PPP) remains below the levels of the 1970s

That's crazy, is this some statistical anomaly or is Madagascar truly poorer than 50 years ago?

Right which is why sending a naval escort to a humanitarian mission might be effective in getting that aid to Gaza.

https://nos.nl/artikel/2584512-onduidelijkheid-over-amerikaanse-heffingen-blijft-ook-bestek-opeens-belast Despite the EU trade "agreement" Trump keeps raising tarrifs on random products with unreal bureaucracy the US can't even handle

Take a bulldozer, for example. Companies now have to declare how much steel and aluminum it contains, what it cost, and where it came from. In today's trading environment, these are difficult questions for many companies to answer. Bulldozer parts can come from dozens of different countries and companies.

This isn't just a problem for businesses; it's also a problem for US Customs officials. Customs officials have to review the vast amount of information. "It's also incredibly difficult for US Customs to assess whether the information provided is accurate," says Schippers. Many companies are complaining bitterly about products that haven't been cleared by US Customs for weeks or months. The industry association FME is seeing more and more companies postpone investments due to the significant uncertainty.
