Bus, train, tram. Nuclear is not green. No HS2 or new roads.
The "West" are not the only imperialists. Opposing only US/UK/Israeli imperialism is not anti-imperialist; it is merely anti-American.

As a dictator in Moscow menaces Europe; & a Western power's Quisling leaders appease him; many seek analogies from the 1930s & 40s.
Many mistake Churchill for a principled man who stood his ground. But by 1943, he was appeasing Moscow as Chamberlain had Berlin.
@nickreeves.bsky.social please note.

The Israeli government is ordering its diplomats and their families to leave its missions (the embassy in Abu Dhabi and Dubai consulate).
This comes after Israel issued a heightened travel warning for UAE, cautioning its citizens to be careful about displaying Israeli or Jewish symbols in public.
