  • To mitigate the impact of a second Trump presidency, Nato countries should support the creation of an allied multilateral lending institution, in practice a Nato bank, it says. This could “save nations millions on essential equipment purchases, offer low interest rates on loans to alliance members and introduce a new line of financing with longer repayment timeframes. The bank would be funded with initial subscriptions from Nato members in return for authorised capital stock”.

    I won’t pretend to understand the financial workings of this. Trump is a menace and NATO leadership has good reason to feel as they do. What that said though, I think this may be a good decision regardless of who wins the presidency.







  • Why is this number so drastically higher than other numbers I’ve seen? I thought it was in the 40 thousands?

    (Not like that’s any better. Genocide is genocide. I’m just a bit perturbed by how different the number is then when I last heard.)

    UPDATE: Further along in the linked document it clarified…

    “In total it is likely that 62,413 people have died of starvation and its compilations in Gaza from October 7, 2023 to September 30, 2024. Most of these will have been young children.”

    That figure is an addition to the 42,000 that have died from the violence.

    Holy hell… 😭
