@vivify saidThe Dutch government just collapsed (over refugees and migration).
What's going on the world that an ignorant American like myself should know about? Preferably topics not typically discussed on this forum or or about U.S. politics.
3 people are arrested in India over the deadly train crash last month (300 dead).
The US is sending cluster bombs to the Ukraine.

By the way, what do you know about the Khalistani? I only recently found about them them, who started out as a separatist group in India that have been accused of terrorist attacks in Canada. One of Trudeau's cabinet members is a Khalistani.
India views them as terrorists: what are your thoughts?
@vivify saidI don’t know much about them. A Sikh movement that wants its own country.
Thank you.

I thought there was a militant movement within the independence movement, but I’ve not heard much about it.
I certainly didn’t know they were active in Canada (of all bloody places).
Governments tend to label any radicalised movement for independence as terrorist. So, I’m not surprised India would view them as such.
Here's an article on Khalistanis in Canada, if anyone was interested:

This is such a bad war. The Tigrayans against Ethiopia and helpers.
They have tried to get food and medicine to the citizens in Tigray but it was stolen by the revolutionaries

Hunger and Malnutrition Surge in Ethiopia’s War-Torn Tigray After U.S. and WFP Halt Food Aid
The United Nations is warning rates of severe malnutrition in Ethiopia’s Tigray have risen sharply with nearly 9 million people needing food aid in the war-ravaged northern region. The World Food Programme and the U.S. government, Ethiopia’s two largest food donors, both halted deliveries to Tigray in April, saying the food was being diverted away from those in need. A Tigray official said hundreds have died, including children, since the aid was withdrawn, calling the situation “extremely desperate.”

very sad.

There is this, just happened, not newsworthy, just losers interrupting the great Wimbledon. They seem to want there to be an end to oil. So much hypocrisy, those very people use it in some way everyday.
Do you think they will succeed, I doubt it. Gotta get to Mars! And kids to school, we will hardly put them on a subway, or bicycle them there. They will succeed when reparations in CA succeeds!!
@AverageJoe1
Oh, and Ben and Jerry are preaching for us to give the indians back their land. Should they not start, by giving their own real property to the indians>. They have the liberal bent of 'Rules are for thee, but not for me."

Bingo 🙂
And they are in fact, on stolen Indian land
@earl-of-trumps saidYes, I just saw that on the news. Suzianne, since they are on stolen Indian land, should they follow thru with their movement, and give the land to the Indians? You may respond with an o-so-clever answer, or tell us why they hell Ben and Jerry don't give back the property they are on ...It is Not THEIR property, you know, to the indians.
