There's a reason Deng Xiaoping wrote what he did on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics: the Soviet model of socialism wasn't as effective as it needed to be for developing countries.

With... 40 F-16s? Do you imagine Ukraine to be the size of Taiwan while the Russians fly around in Chaika biplanes?
They only care enough to send more Ukrainians to die, I guess...
It's the instance's responsibility for policing it's own instance.
You live in a country where value is defined by money instead of any intrinsic measure of value.
Do landlords provide any service of value? Sure, they provide shelter. Does that explain 50% YoY rent increases? Not really...
Similarly, did Kennedy provide a service of value? Not really... But we have assigned a certain value to his actions based on the economic system we exist in.
So? The Great Powers had decided on a policy of appeasement against Nazi Germany. What exactly would you have proposed the USSR do? They signed the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact prior to the war for a reason.
Without the Eastern Front, Europe was lost. Hitler only launched Operation Barbarossa because he thought the Western Front was all but won. Continental Europe was under German control and the UBoats were locking down most of the Atlantic, meanwhile imports of Russian materials was sustaining the German war economy (similarly, imports of American materials was sustaining Japan's war in China and the Pacific)... Of course, it turns out that dividing your forces and taking on Russia in the winter aren't the best ideas, but at the time Germany wanted energy independence and the Caucasus was seen as an easier target than the Middle East (which at the time out produced Romania but wasn't yet the oil superpower it is today).
How many haven't been told by their respective government office to keep morale high in their reporting?
The leaders did not lay out who would be paying for the project. A working group will lay out fuller plans over the next 60 days, including a timeline for building the infrastructure.
About to end up like California HSR. Tens of billions of dollars overbudget, behind schedule, and otherwise useless because the first section is between two rural towns.
Edit: I know people are going to correct me and say that Merced (86333p), Fresno (544510p), and Bakersfield (403455p) are cities... And fine, but is that really worth 35 billion USD in taxpayer money? The problem is that there are so many stakeholders in a project like this and everyone wants different things.
He noted that years into Solih’s rule, only Yameen has been held to account over corruption.
Odd.
So... You'd rather people be poor and uneducated than wealthy and educated? Huh?
