Interesting, so how many $$ is-

China will not start buying soy or corn because of this & once they stop buying products they do so for a very long time.

Try CNA out of Singapore and nhk world japan for a very well balanced take on all things global. Oh and France 24 and DW news for a euro take.
In Australia best try and avoid anything local that may have a unhealthy bias on the mayhem spreading from the USA

Agree but would like to see them now cut off defence ties with the nations that have recognised statehood.

Ed Dugan @edugan.bsky.social · 23d

Agree but need to protect those precious war mongering lobbyists.

He had an in ear babel fish but when it couldn’t cope it just exploded. Poor thing, pretty sure it even made world news.

Now using a fancy back of the hand implant thing which must also be struggling as it seems to have killed off the near by flesh. The inter ankles comms are still in beta.
