Häpnadsväckande att hävda att ökad konsumtion genererar framtidstro. Gäller t ex inte för dem som uppfattar kopplingen till kilmat- och miljöpåverkan eller för dem som överhuvudtaget följer nyhetsrapporteringen.

The joint military exercises in the Eastern Mediterranean might benefit the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) even if this isn't a declared intent. Their mere presence can provide deterrence.

Norway and a large majority of UN member states take a stand to allow PA and PLO to attend UNGA. Remember Syrian President al-Sharaa, whom the US has just delisted from being Specially Designated Global Terrorist, will attend and address the UNGA.
