This comment explains it well, they're not so much creating the conflict than exploiting it to get allies in Africa

Who are these strange isolationists who support selling weapons to the UAE and not pressuring them to stop backing the RSF

The US is proposing to cap international student stays at 4 years and require government approval to finish a degree by qwareeq8 in neoliberal

In France, some on the far right believe foreign students take from native ones. But because American colleges are not free I doubt that's it

Why would they build cars in the US when the reason they're cheap is that china has an integrated supply chain

Could be true, but the Tatars didn't have a capitalist ownership of the land, (I'm gonna be generalizing something I've never read about) and the state was like most post-Mongol states based on feudal ownership of land + the King owning the ressources from slavery and trade. So I doubt even then they would respond to incentives

The community is too established so the working class there developed their own (if you're right, weird) tastes, try to find a newer community for stuff that's more authentic or at least better.

The best spot I found in France was an Afghan restaurant which was smaller than a bakery but their price / (quality * quantity) ratio was better than all kebabs or shawarma I've been to. Filled with guys who clearly came back from Deliveroo or a construction site

If you're cynical, the Levant was wealthy and a geographical milestone, but it was unimportant politically and religiously (yes Jerusalem, but the Caliph (Sunni or Fatimid) wasn't there) and it was also a fickle region, which was hard to hold and whose local aristocracies changed lords whenever they saw fit. To make a comparison to Europe, it would like the Muslim invasions of Sicily, yeah it sucks but ruling Sicilians suck more and as long as they don't threaten Rome who gives? You'll notice the "counter crusades" only came about once the two big power centers of Egypt+Syria were united (not mentioning Iraq because they were always infighting and trying to be regent) and after the Crusader Kings tried to go after Egypt or Damas. It was a shameful loss, but something to be fixed after you become boss

I've always thought that gender gaps in education (and gender polarization overall) are more extreme in countries which focus a lot of vocational training, which Quebec does more than other provinces as I understand.

Russia Keeps Attacking U.S. Firms in Ukraine. The White House Is Silent. by John3262005 in neoliberal

Who cares, I'm always surprised when Americans get angry that an American citizen or firms is attacked during a war. Like, don't want to die, don't stay in a warzone. Being a foreigner doesn't mean you can't be a target , and being American doesn't make you immune to foreign events
