Why would it raise concern in the Canadian Jewish and Israeli communities?

Not that Microsoft is any better (they are a criminal oligarch organization), but they are not stupid!

It seems that the Israelis were killing civilians, not US mercenaries.

I think this is all bullshit for market manipulation. "Lars" can say he has three dicks, that doesn't make it so.

Musk is a known and confirmed liar ("deal secured"), it is reasonable to assume he has a level of commitment to dishonesty, especially considering he lives in the US, where criminality and dishonesty are broadly encouraged both at an institutional level and among wider society.

You bring all this cybercab and unboxed stuff, what makes you think you are more qualified to evaluate these points than Reuters?

Are you claiming you have insider info or are you just repeating various Tesla PR copytext?

It's really too bad that Lemmy MAUs are once again on a decline curve. I was really hoping we would stabilize above 50K MAU.

Since the full scale invasion, the russians have threatened nuclear retaliation hundreds of times.

While we've been directly targetted not only their strategic bombers, but also their over the horizon radars (and not only ones in Crimea) that are critical for their nuclear early warning system.

As I am not a lawyer and I don't support "wiggle" room judicial approaches when it comes to oligarchs (especially ones that have been caught lying in similar cases before - e.g. "funding acquired [with Saudi sovereign fund").

What may happen in a few years is IMO irrelevant. We are discussing things as they stand now. It's either cancelled or not with respect to short/medium term introduction.

As the old saying goes, in the long term, we are all dead.

I am no lawyer, but I think it possible to relatively easily prove whether the project is current or not. I mean "prove" in the real sense, i.e. any individual of sound mind would agree that it was actually cancelled and the attempts to bring in delays and so on are are malicious actions to avoid legal responsibility.

This is not a complex issue, either the project was cancelled or it wasn't.

How is this even legal?

And this is not the first time Elmo has been engaged in market manipulation via premeditated misinformation campaigns.

Says who?

It's pretty clear you have no clue what you are talking about or you're playing dumb (in an effort to work as a free PR shill for China).

I am done here!

What info have you provided?

There is no moving goalposts. From the Wikipedia article:

Construction of the port commenced in January 2008. In 2016, it reported an operating profit of $1.81 million but was considered economically unviable.[4] As debt repayment got difficult, the newly-elected government decided to privatise an 80% stake of the port to raise foreign exchange in order to repay maturing sovereign bonds unrelated to the port.[5][6] Of the two bidding companies, China Merchants Port was chosen,[5] which was to pay $1.12 billion to Sri Lanka and spend additional amounts to develop the port into full operation.[7][8][9]

In July 2017, the agreement was signed, but CMPort was allowed a 70% stake. Simultaneously a 99-year lease on the port was granted to CMPort.

Can you explain Kerry Brown's arguement in context of this information?

Russophia is a propaganda term.

A sober view of russian "culture" and history is not a phobia. It is reasonable to approach russians as they are (e.g. strong majority support for genocidal imperialism even with adjustments for preference falsification during polling) and not as one would like them to be.
