DJ, In 2024 66% of global renewable energy capacity growth came from China. The US only made 7%...
Neo-liberalism privatizing everything from healthcare to wars...turning prisons into privately owned/exploited slave camps. My view; freedom with respect for other views is essential for growth. It is NOT a freedom to insult others on purpose. Profits are not a dirty word-but companies, private persons-buying politics is an oligarchy NOT a democracy...We need to find a balance.

DJ-Maybe the most serious development may be linking Kashmir terrorists/fighters with Hamas/Gaza (and/via Iran). Lots of air lines try to keep out of "high risk" air space. China may be -more or less- on the side of Pakistan. So is Türkiye, Iran, Bangladesh, Myanmar... US/UK support India... One only can hope silent diplomacy may result in de-escalation. The US would welcome an all out South Asia war ending BRICS+...Major escalation between India-Pakistan may open the door to USrael attacking Iran... Things are moving the wrong way...

https://beeley.substack.com/p/the-uk-private-security-boom-in-syria or https://beeley.substack.com/p/the-uk-private-security-boom-in-syria ;
When it comes to the world of Private Military Companies (PMC) or Private Military and Security Companies (PMSC), public perception has been conditioned to think of the Russian Wagner Group, formerly led by the maverick Russian businessman Yevgeny Prigozhin. Western commentators like Jack Margolin point out that: "During Wagner’s assault on Bakhmut, Prigozhin declared the need for the Russian military to learn from what made Wagner effective. A year after his death, Russian military leadership have in many ways accomplished exactly that, taming the diffuse and agile elements of the Wagner Group to deploy them to lethal effect". However, it may surprise some to know that the predominant trend by governments to benefit from PMCs is actually spearheaded by four countries, making up 70% of the PMC market globally. These countries are the United States, the United Kingdom, China, and South Africa, and they host the majority of PMCs operating in almost every country in the world for a diverse range of clients, assuming responsibilities for critical state and security functions. Some argue that Russia, while having a relatively small PMSC sector, has potentially used its contractors for combat more than other countries. There is evidence that this is a cleaner use of PMCs than the US/UK’s clandestine, covert use of the PMC skill set for a multitude of hybrid war strategies that offer plausible deniability and distance from the potential for war crimes and international law transgressions committed by these shadowy groups who assume the role of paid scapegoat when exposed. DJ, "proffesional killers" may be cheaper then having one owns army...Soldiers of fortune go way back in history, pre-middle ages ....The Romans did recruit soldiers as a form of tax. |

@DarkNoon probably just rhetoric, but concerning DJ, BRICS+ can not accept India blowing up BRICS+. Pakistan Defence Minister Khawaja Asif's new threat: 'If India stops water, we will attack, if water is stopped, we will blow up the dam'. DJ, The present crisis is far worse then it was in 2016 and 2019. The Indus-water-agreement -now ended by India- dated from 1960. Pakistan water needs did increase lots of times both because of climate collapse and population growth.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASEAN or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASEAN ;
The Association of Southeast Asian Nations,[c] commonly abbreviated as ASEAN,[d] is a regional grouping of 10 states in Southeast Asia "that aims to promote economic and security cooperation among its ten members."[13] Together, its member states represent a population of more than 600 million people and land area of over 4.5 million km2 (1.7 million sq mi).[14] The bloc generated a purchasing power parity (PPP) gross domestic product (GDP) of around US$10.2 trillion in 2022, constituting approximately 6.5% of global GDP (PPP).[9] ASEAN member states include some of the fastest growing economies in the world, and the institution plays an integral role in East Asian regionalism.[15] - List of member states[edit]
- There are currently two states seeking accession to ASEAN: Papua New Guinea[88][89] and Timor-Leste.[90] DJ, Not only is China building (rail)road links to the Indian Ocean east (Myanmar) and west (Pakistan) of China, also ASEAN may (also) do better then India...

DJ, The bigger picture;
-We are in a west/mainly US war against BRICS+/rest of the world...Very likely only a complete crazy person like trumpf believes the US can "win" this... -Russia is increasing its offensives in UKraine; it will take over UKraine this year...(so much for the trumpf-zelensky mineral deal...) -USrael not only dealing with heavy losses in a ground war in Gaza, also sinking in a war in Syria (to "protect" the Druze population) getting closer to a war with Türkiye in Syria... -US/UK keep bombing Yemen with very high costs (the front is far away from both the US/UK...operating costs alone in the millions per day !). Yemen Ansar Allah-Houthis keep attacking both USrael and USrael supplies...

DJ, The main/only reason why netanyahu is NOT attacking Iran is it will mean war with not only Iran but with TIP, BRICS+...it will destroy USrael...
A major reason why Modi will think lots of times before "moving" against Pakistan...if India moves without BRICS+ cooperation it could mean war with BRICS+, TIP (Türkiye-Iran-Pakistan), ASEAN... So India may be talking with BRICS+ on a "fitting reaction". BRICS+ does not agree on the role (Pakistan) ISI (CIA) plays in terrorism against India. My speculation; BRICS+ will allow India to attack a limited number of targets in Pakistan. Pakistan will be informed India may go for LIMITED military action...Pakistan has to accept that punishment and stop/get a grip on its secret service using terrorists against India... BRICS+ will NOT accept any further escalation. (And BRICS++ may include TIP, ASEAN). DJ; YES India has a point in blaming Pakistan for terrorism AND NO it is not worth blowing up BRICS+...because that is what the CIA=ISI wants...

DJ, This-once a- forum now is named Mpox Forum...And Mpox is not under control-the news on Mpox is under control...In "new pandemics" I try to catch a glimpse on CoViD, Flu. both also -in fact- getting worse...
Mpox, CoViD, Flu is developing/mutating into new variants-some better in evading immunity, spreading. The diseases interact/co-spread...The poor in this world are facing much higher risks (a.o. because often they even can NOT get any kind of vaccine...). Climate collapse is going exponential. Only option left may be limiting damage... What do "our leaders" do ? Go for global war... More and more that war will mean repression inside the NATO-west...(Japan is moving "East"-BRICS+). The NL military "has to increase" from 70,000 in 2025 to 200,000 "soon"...and we already face a shortage in lots of -skilled- jobs... Blame Putin, blame CCP/China (even the name is wrong...it is CPC !), blame Muslims & Migrants, gays, non-whites...this is self destructive insanity !
