What is global news?

Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.


Post guidelines

Title formatPost title should mirror the news source title.

This begs the question: can effective diplomacy be conducted when one of the affected parties isn't at the table? Is having one party absent better than having one party present but uncooperative?

Is having one party absent better than having one party present but uncooperative?

Yes. Because Russia will just derail the conversation if they're present.

This is a great book https://archive.org/details/opensocietyitsen0000popp, Karl Popper is the philosopher who described the paradox of intolerance. So applicable today, but unfortunately has been used so much it began to become a meme in itself and lost meaning.... He also shred Plato's republic as proto fascist doctrine, brilliant read/listen

I like how they are just trying to normalize all this.

"OH that? Oh, that's nothing. Don't worry about it."
