What do you mean nobody talks about it? Japanese atrocities against the Chinese were well documented, and I have seen many illustrated books. But Japan's behaviour from the invasion of China to the end of WW2 is ancient history now. We foolishly hope such behaviour will never be repeated, yet we are continually disappointed.
@NtsakoM_King@NixPret I invite you to look at our GDP per Capita from 2012 to 2025. It’s gone down around 9%, the opposite to virtually the rest of the world.
@FL890XdorKGMoNk Trump was quite clear, in his conversation with Joe Rogan before the last election, that he expected to only have two years to achieve most of his agenda. That's why he was so quick off the starting blocks.
The following two groups will have the most to lose if the ANC goes further down the drain. Two thirds of these voting groups alone will give the ANC 26.4% of the vote. "Roughly 30–40%+ of the adult/voting-age population are social grant (welfare) beneficiaries or in households that receive them. Roughly 4.5–7% of the voting-age or registered voting population are government employees." Grok.
There was killing on both sides. During the core breakup of Ottoman Europe in the Balkan Wars, the best-documented scholarly estimate centers on roughly 630,000 Muslim (mainly Turkish) deaths, with additional hundreds of thousands across the wider period of Ottoman territorial losses in Europe.
@youngdiors@laobaibyq Not true. Russian gas transit through Ukraine continued for a while after the February 2022 invasion, but not at normal volumes, and it stopped entirely on 1 January 2025 (Grok).
It is totally possible that evidence of early man-made monuments were drowned by rising sea levels preceding the Holocene, but in a much shorter time scale than suggested by @spacebeagle. The current ice age started 2.8 million years ago in very early human evolution times. In late human evolution times sea levels were 130 metres lower. This is 20,000 years ago, during the Last Glacial Maximum. We are currently in the warm “Holocene” interglacial with high sea levels. The oldest known man-made monuments on Earth are approximately 11,500 to 12,000 years old, built at the tail end of the last Ice Age—right as the cold Younger Dryas period was ending. Evidence of very early human coastal habitats would be 100 metres deep out on the continental shelves.
