Tja was sagt das jetzt zu der Verschwörungstheorie mit den Wahlen?
Meinst Du die Theorie, dass die verschiedenen Anschläge, die kurz vor der Bundestagswahl stattfanden, von Russland angestiftet worden seien, um die Gesellschaft zu spalten und der AfD zu einer stärkeren Position zu verhelfen, oder eine andere Theorie?
Fair enough. I couldn't tell from your original comment.
We have also never been imperial powers
Italy did maintain colonies in parts of what today are Libya, Eritrea, Ethiopia and Somalia, among other places, albeit the Italian imperial project was comparatively short in both time and space.
Prices are so bad that De Beers is for sale?!
BHP's bid for Anglo American, which owns De Beers, is playing a role too.
I was thinking about this earlier and I’m scared about what this might mean for the future of the Pebble Mine, […].
The Pebble Project in Alaska, a copper-gold project owned by Toronto-listed Northern Dynasty Minerals, is also expected to get its final approval under the new administration, according to industry executives.
Rio Tinto's CEO certainly expressed optimism about the prospects of the Resolution project, which has been similarly blocked so far:
“I do think that we have really good chances now to progress that project,” said Jakob Stausholm, chief executive of the London-listed miner, in an interview with the Financial Times, which will be broadcast on Wednesday. “We have made a lot of progress.”
Given the current price of copper and its expected future demand, both the Pebble Mine and Resolution are worth a fortune. Given the current geopolitical climate, both are strategically located too. They even sit in red states: Alaska and Arizona, respectively.
Indeed; the title confused me too. I guess they assumed the connection with Europe to be implicit, given they are the European Center for Digital Rights and use a .eu domain.
I agree. Although this crackdown –for lack of a better term– is arguably setting a new precedent that may socially and politically (not morally) justify similar actions by other governments and also serve, to some extent, as a political, legal, operational and diplomatic blueprint, not every detail of it –however appalling– is news of worldwide relevance.
Elon, is that your younger self on the right?
No, it's not, but at first I thought it was.
The erosion of international laws and norms –insofar as these were ever a thing and not merely a hopeful illusion– did not begin with Israel's Gaza campaign; by the time Israel started bombing Gaza, international laws and norms had already been put into question by the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine, the 2008 Russian invasion of Georgia, the 2003 invasion of Iraq led by the United States and the 1999 NATO bombing of Yugoslavia, among others. The list is not exhaustive and any bias unintended.
As if labour abuses were limited to the meat industry or more common there than in "vegan industries" like agriculture.
This is rather "yet another reason" for proper labour laws and strong unions across the board.
Wie @alleycat@lemmy.world an anderer Stelle geschrieben hat, ist es mit der politischen Willensbildung auch nach der Bundestagswahl noch nicht vorbei; die Unionsfraktion und die SPD verhandeln gerade. Diesen Prozess können Ereignisse wie dieser Anschlag in Mannheim schon beeinflussen. Sie erhöhen zum Beispiel die Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass die Unionsfraktion bestimmte Gesetzesentwürfe oder sonstige Entscheidungen mit Stimmen der AfD durchbekommt. Das würde die ohnehin schon bröckelige Brandmauer weiter schwächen oder gar zerbrechen. Doch selbst dann, wenn es zu keiner Zusammenarbeit kommen sollte, könnte allein die Möglichkeit einer solchen Zusammenarbeit die SPD unter Druck setzen, den Forderungen der Unionsfraktion nachzukommen. Ob und wie genau solche politischen Machtspiele Russland von Vorteil wären, ist eine andere Frage.
