A very beautiful thing 👇🏽

When one thinks #China dictatorship is at its peak of oppression in occupied #Tibet, #CCP always finds ways to suppress Tibetans and implement on them even more brutal and inhumane. This lasts since day one of the occupation of Tibet in 1949.

So far it seems most if not all GMC related finance and investment is solely related to crypto segment. Extremely speculative, extremely risky, very less diversification. That is the real story here.

Do you still remember Modi and Jaishankar announcing end of border crisis in Ladakh back in October? 🤡🤡

I'm bit confused here, but isn't it the case that laws has to be enacted by Parliament of Bhutan? Anyone to explain?

Since the aid moratorium, I've been hearing of Nepali development professionals whose jobs are on the line. But crisis can also bring opportunity. Now is the time to reorient Nepal's outlook away from foreign aid. After all, its largest bilateral donor is no longer keen on aid.

Domestic politics > Foreign Policy Always One implication of this principle being: any foreign policy-related explanation of politics is almost certainly wrong. No one cares about this kind of stuff

Trump & Musk just donated American softpower to China. RIP USAID.

Hopefully it will take off soon, anyway with 1500 USD for round trip, it is naturally not the passenger's first choice.

Airport in Samdrup Jongkhar would make lot of sense as the Yongphulla is never going to operate reliably due to weather.

RIP Noodle Maker of Kalimpong. What a life! End of era coming.

Trump appears to be seeking a deal over the head of Ukraine & Europe. This is the moment for Europeans to seize the frozen Russian assets and use them to give Ukraine leverage; leverage to shape a deal & to walk away from a rotten one if necessary. hoover.org/research/fresh…

Ještě k JVD a Gretě... Člověk musí mít dost křehkou identitu, aby se ho populární mladá holka bez reálné moci dotkla natolik, že nepozná rozdíl mezi ní a nejbohatším člověkem světa dělajícím si co chce v Bílém domě 😀

Tohle je řečeno velmi pěkně a doporučuji se podle toho zařídit. Pokud voláte po silnější Evropě, můžeme na ní pracovat. Jen je dobré si uvědomit, že z politického pohledu to znamená federalizaci, zavedení většinového hlasování a masivní investice do armády a obranného průmyslu

Agree. 70 years of aid later, if we are still looking to mobilise 40mn USD from donors for state-making purposes, there is a fundamental problem in the way we have been thinking about economic development.

Post-WWII order crumbling so fast...

People say they want peace in Ukraine. Then they attack Keir Starmer when he says he is prepared to deploy British troops to guarantee that peace. Why can’t they be honest and admit what they actually want is for Ukraine to capitulate to Putin.

Alright, let’s break it down once again, for those who are new to this discussion: 1. Russia didn’t start a war of annihilation because Ukraine wanted NATO – Ukraine wants NATO because Russia is waging a war of annihilation. 2. Ukraine is not fighting Russia because it ‘was

I hope people understand what we are seeing here. 1) Trump and Putin are preparing a common plan to dictate to Ukraine. 2) Ukraine will surprise them (at least Trump) by refusing. 3) The War will continue. 4) The role of Europe will be decisive.

What happens to pacta sunt servanda- that principle in international law that says “agreements must be kept”. Obligations undertaken by one government are always passed on to the successor government in what is called the principle of “State Continuity and Succession”.
