Apparently the cholera epidemic the UN brought to Haiti years back killed 10,000 I didn't realise that many, & they never paid compensation
What's disgusting is that the capitalist system and our greed play with their lives for profit. If you see youtuber Chief Makoi's first video on his sea training in the Philippines and the sense of duty that is instilled into them, this will make you furious in its betrayal.

👀 Germany wants to participate in the financing and cover a "significant part" of the total costs.

🇵🇱😡 It is necessary to find a solution to the situation on the Polish border, which has long gone beyond the limits of economics and morality. It is simply impossible to explain how the difficulties of a bleeding country can be used in an internal political struggle, - Zelensky
