What goodwill has India built up? They don't need goodwill because the US won't do shit against India so long as China exists.

Everyone does this with store bought drones (mostly sourced from China, FWIW). It's so incredibly affordable it's crazy.

India assassinating a Canadian citizen on Canadian soil is a byproduct of knowing that Canada has burned all of its geopolitical relevance and that the US won't come to Canada's aid.

Canada had built up a ton of goodwill in the past, but a good chunk of that was burned up aligning with the US in increasingly inane military operations.

Mexico should know better. This is just how the US treats allies that aren't geopolitically significant like Canada and Mexico.

Honestly? Good. The NEC is the only thing Amtrak seems to know how to do, so might as well have Amtrak learn how to do it well

Driving down a road in the countryside is really quite underrated... But it also wouldn't be affected by changing urban planning to include less cars.

More respectful driving culture tbh

California drivers are asleep at the wheel, Massachusetts drivers hate each other, Texas drivers hate everyone... By contrast, British Columbia drivers are at least somewhat sane and respectful.

Do people just magically assume the world is some diverse candy land? The boers are probably one of the only people Russia can bring in without expending any political capital. It's that simple.

Nobody was prepared for this evolution of warfare. You can now build an explosive-carrying device the size and radar profile of a large bird.

But, for what it's worth, Russian state media is saying that it was saboteurs... which is probably more likely given the distance from the frontline than an Ukrainian-operated drone.

If India was weaker and more compliant with US demands, these stories wouldn't be getting past the editor. You can look at coverage on China in the 2000-2015 period and compare it to today.

The Ukrainian economy needs it tbh
