Under Mr. Modi’s plan, corporate buyers would take a much greater role in Indian agriculture because farmers would have greater power to sell their crops to private buyers outside the mandi system, which he said would lift farmer incomes and increase exports.

Farms have been bought up by corporations over the past decade, now it’s just more corporate agribusiness like everywhere else.

They lost the bid to hide them, the headline is unclear.

We need to be careful and smart, but yeah, this is the only way out, better we start now.

We can cut down on meat and gas cars too, the low-hanging fruit, but pretending we’re all somehow going back to hunting-gathering while sustaining our current population is some kind of delusional fantasy that only comes from drinking too much LSD.

The climate crisis is not because of the wheels of civilisation or because that or this, it’s because of capitalism.

Yeah actually, I do.

I also work with Russians, they know the score.

You believe the bs they pump out on state media?

Russia literally attempted to assassinate a man and his daughter in Salisbury, UK.

This is their MO, just like the song “It’s raining men!” Isn’t a celebration in Moscow, it’s a warning to take cover.

It’s a combination of feeling they should be friends with Russia, because Russia has never actually attacked them, and Modi being easy to bribe.

They made a ton of money off the russia oil/gas trade, they want to keep that gravy train going no matter what.

Paris is just Paris, its drama incarnate, the rest of France is basically a different country.

FINALLY!!

It’s the only solution we could possibly execute on, the longer we take to figure that out the worse it is for everyone.

Because nobody else is suicidal enough to dare confront one, ever.

It had a record of 23:0 against the f-15, which has a record of 104:0 against every other fighter its gone up against.

The f22 is the air combat version of an aimbot combined with a wall hack.

We need to send 1 US army cook to hang out at a resort hotel near the border.

Just chilling.

and you can hate the guy who sold Ea-Nasir that bad quality copper in 1750 b.c.

I mean just, don’t even get me started.

Yes, but also “We need a status quo cease fire, clearly things are getting dangerous for everybody, let’s all sit down at the bargaining table right now. Of course, in the meantime we keep our current territory and that is the starting point for negotiation, not any territory you might get in the next few months.”

It’s calling timeout, no tag backs when you’re losing in tag. Or as putin calls it “escalate to de-escalate”.

Germans: [visible confusion]

How about the aircraft prighozhin destroyed, is that one of the jokes too?

He shot down Russian aircraft, killed Russian airmen, and walked away.

Who needs Netflix, that weekend was true entertainment.

It’s really real, son.

I’m guessing the last time they flew into space was just before they brutally defeated and humiliated the red army.

They had a nice society before the USSR invaded, btw.

Fun part of that game was killing tiamat, lord of the dragons.

Agreed, I work with dozens of western Chinese, japanese and koreans every day.

Russia was put in a geopolitical corner.

By russia.

They attacked Georgia in 2008, they attacked ukraine in 2014.

This is why nobody likes them and everybody wants to see them suffer, this is why so many countries were happy to give ukraine weapons if it meant Russian invaders would die.

Russia is a bully nation, and we get to watch that most beautiful moment, when the bullied stands up and blasts their bully in the face with a himars.

Putin won’t last through the year, the thunder run destroyed his aura of invulnerability, I look forward to watching him do his Nick II impression.

Putin wasn’t ‘put in a position’, he’s the ruler of Russia, he has agency, and now we get to watch the Russian people pay the price for his stupidity.
