Sleepy..

 

Sense..

 

Famine..

 


Striking back at China’s aggressive use of economic power, President Joe Biden and leaders of other advanced democracies have been working toward a collective strategy to foil what they say are Beijing's attempts to intimidate businesses and nations for political gain at the Group of Seven summit this weekend.

Members have been considering ways to defend against what they describe as coercive tactics that China deploys for political leverage. 
The G7 also used economic sanctions against many countries in the Middle East. 
So, currently, the world is in Limbo where the great powers can't get together peacefully to overcome the current challenges of today's Climate change, Wars, poverty and famine in many countries like Yemen and Syria.
Just a thought.

Be..

 

Course..

 

Moscow and Beijing lashed out against the Group of Seven (G7) summit in Hiroshima, where leaders of major democracies pledged new measures targeting Russia and spoke in one voice on their growing concerns over China.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Saturday slammed the G7 for indulging in their “own greatness” with an agenda that aimed to “deter” Russia and China.
Meanwhile China’s Foreign Ministry accused G7 leaders of “hindering international peace” and said the group needed to “reflect on its behavior and change course.”
Should the G7 add some Peace plan to their economy?  Just a thought.

Bleeding..

 


Draken International, a private company, will not be able to purchase a batch of F-16s.  Draken International has signed a contract with the US government under which it acts as a contingent opponent during naval and air force exercises. 

It is also involved in pilot training.

An American company wanted to buy 40 fourth-generation F-16 Fighting Falcon fighters from the Dutch Ministry of Defence. 

It received 12 aircraft last year. However, the Netherlands decided not to realize the option for 28 fighters.

It is possible that these planes will eventually be handed over to the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The day before, it became known that the US had approved the training of Ukrainian pilots and would not block the re-export of F-16s to Ukraine.

So the private companies transferring fighter jets and weapons from one country to the other, the tax payer paying for it, and the two countries at war bleeding for a over a year.  Just a thought.

Instant..

 



Though instant ramen noodles provide iron, B vitamins and manganese, they lack fiber, protein and other crucial vitamins and minerals. Additionally, their MSG, TBHQ and high sodium contents may negatively affect health, such as by increasing your risk of heart disease, stomach cancer and metabolic syndrome.

Ramen noodles are particularly unhealthy because they contain a food additive called Tertiary-butyl hydroquinone (TBHQ), a preservative that is a petroleum industry byproduct. They're also incredibly high in sodium, calories, 
and saturated fat.

Use your own judgment.  Just a thought.
