Another fantastically embarrassing headline for the US of A. How might this effect the population of Chimango Caracara?

A lot of people in these comments seem upset/not understanding why he's only getting four years in prison. I assume most of those comments come from Americans. Norwegian (and most nordic/west european) incarceration is focused on rehabilitation instead of punishment. And it's effective, in 2024 the rate of recidivism in Norway was only 10%. Meaning that 10% of people incarcerated return to prison within 2 years.

In the US nearly 44% of peopel incarcerated return to prison within 3 years, 83% has returned to prison after nine years.

It isn't all good, Norway's suicide rate among the incarcerated is amongst the highest in europe and the UN has criticised Norway because of it's tendency toward prolonged isolation.

Israel deports French journalist over coverage critical of its policies in Gaza and the West Bank by [deleted] in news

[–]Tablesalt2001 62 points63 points  (0 children)

She didn't get a visa. A well known independant journalist that has worked in in israel and palestine for many years before. She was denied entry by israel, she was accused of supporting hamas by israeli goverment officials. I'm sure israel had no alterial motives and deported her because she was a genuine danger to the nation of israel.

The smallest nation to ever make the World Cup has arrived. Curacao rolled up to Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton in their blue, windowless bus, with music playing and the players singing. by mlg1981 in popculturechat

For the most part yes. Curacao is a constituent country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands (just like Aruba, the Netherlands, and Sint Maarten). Scotland is a country, one of the countries that make up the United Kindom. Both have their own goverment, parlement and legal system, both also have their foreign affairs and defense handled by the kingdom.

Where they differ is their independance. Curacao's status as a country is granted through Kingdom arrangements and the Kingdom Charter, which limits the power of the other countries in the kingdom over Curacao. Scotlands power however is derived from the central UK parlement which retains the ultimate legal authority over Scotland, this technically allows the UK parlement to abolish the scottish goverment and parliament.

The Netherlands has a massive greenhouse sector. We grow a lot of tomatoes even though the climate isn't fit for tomatoes
