Oh, so Russian propaganda (with war criminal Margarita Simonyan leading the charge) is now calling Armenia’s prime minister a “drug addict.” All because of the upcoming elections and Armenia’s growing ties with Europe, which drive the Kremlin into a frothing rage.
The Kremlin’s propaganda tactics of hatred are repetitive and primitive to the point of being laughable.
🇭🇺🇺🇳 Orban may get a position at the UN with diplomatic immunity, — VSquare.
The initiative is being promoted by representatives of the MAGA wing of the US Republican Party.
The scenario is being considered in case of possible investigations into Orban or his entourage by the Magyar government.
Full immunity, according to the UN convention, can only be obtained by the Secretary General, his deputies or assistants.
The Hungarian ex-prime minister himself rejected such assumptions, stating that he is not afraid of any persecution, since he “obeys the laws.”
@SecRubio Little Marco appears to think the UN is supposed to function as a global government. It isn’t.
The UN can investigate, debate, condemn, pass resolutions, coordinate sanctions, organize peacekeeping missions, and provide a forum for diplomacy. What it generally cannot do is force sovereign nations to comply with its demands.
That limitation isn’t a bug. It’s how the organization was designed. The Security Council’s permanent members all have veto power, specifically because the major powers would never have joined an organization that could overrule them.
If Iran is mining shipping lanes or attacking commercial vessels, the UN can condemn it and help build international consensus. But the actual enforcement would come from member states, coalitions, sanctions, navies, and diplomatic pressure, not from some mythical UN army.
So the question isn’t whether the UN can single-handedly solve the problem. It can’t.
The question is whether the international community is willing to act. Those are not the same thing.
In a new study, researchers report a sustainable way to convert lithium hardrock into three valuable compounds—battery-grade lithium carbonate, cementitious silica, and smelter-grade alumina—at temperatures less than 100°C.
This could establish a lowcarbon alternative to hardrock refining, addressing both the surging demand for lithium and the carbon footprint that undermines the sustainability of the energy transition that lithium is meant to enable.
