When it's IMO propaganda by a link to a JINSA site It's relevant.
IMO it's 80 warmongering generals and admirals that want to see the ME in flames.
This constant interference by the US in the ME has got to end before they destroy everything.
Here is JINSA proposal for controlling Gaza after war has ended

Post-conflict plan would put Western mercenaries and Israel military into the mix, with handpicked countries in charge of a governing ‘Trust’

Do you think it is safe to drop your young kids off at a place run by a tourist?
licensed daycare centre requirements
The daycare manager must comply with a set of conditions in order to be eligible to run such a center. These are:
proper training: adequate courses are needed to perform this type of work and the applicant must bring and proof of graduation;
moral conduct: the applicant must not be impaired morally or deficient in any manner and he/she must have no record of misconduct with children;
health: the person must be in good health, not addicted to narcotics and with no contagious disease;
criminal record: the applicant’s criminal record must be clean; the only offenses permitted are petty ones.

Its unlikely that Gary Glitter would be approved to run a licensed daycenter for children as he would fail most of the above requirements
but if he was running an unlicensed daycentre how many forum members would send their children to it

80 former US generals and admirals speaking in support of Israel
America must support Israel as it restores its security, shattered on October 7, against Iran and its terrorist proxies in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Yemen that all seek to destroy the Jewish state. These forces are also enemies of the United States and everything we stand for. This Iranian-backed axis of terror, as well as other adversaries and allies around the world, are watching closely to see whether the United States will stand by one of its closest allies fighting in self-defense, even when the going gets tough.
Against these barbaric enemies, Israel stands on the front lines of the fight for civilization, the lone stable, democratic American ally in a critical, yet tumultuous, region. Israel is a visceral part of the West with its liberal democracy, ethnically diverse population, and support for individual rights. Even in facing adversaries who respect neither the laws of war nor human life, we believe Israel has fought in accordance with the laws of armed conflict.

Background to JINSA
The Jewish Institute for National Security of America, or JINSA, announced last week that Gen. Frank McKenzie, who led CENTCOM from 2019 to April 2022, would become the Hertog Distinguished Fellow at JINSA’s Gemunder Center for Defense and Strategy.
JINSA, which was a major promoter of the U.S. invasion of Iraq 21 years ago (when its name was the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs), has also long championed more confrontational military policies toward Iran, including providing Israel with the means to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities and supporting it if it chooses to do so.

It should be remembered that the UK Government has an outstanding record when it comes to advising their citizens on the types of vehicles to buy
2001 Gordon Brown slashed tax on diesel to entice drivers to switch from petrol
because diesels produce much lower carbon dioxide emissions than petrol cars. that's what we were told at the time
Dash for Diesel
Why officials in Labour government pushed 'dash for diesel'

Port, car industry and supply chain executives told the UK Financial Times a major factor in the congestion was that some Chinese electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers were not selling their cars in Europe as quickly as expected.
They also claimed ocean shipping delivery slots had been booked without ordering onward transport, which had led to lengthy dwell times at ports for vehicles that would normally be moved on to inland compounds and dealerships.
One source claimed there were EVs imported from China that had been sitting at European ports for up to 18 months.
“Nobody’s turning off production lines and making fewer cars at a time when sales are relatively static across Europe.”

Toyota reported record annual net profit of ¥4.94 trillion ($31.9 billion) on Wednesday, but the world's largest automaker by sales warned that the current year would be less spectacular.
For this year it expects net profit of ¥3.57 trillion, down 27.8%, because of investments in "growth areas" such as electric and hydrogen cars, as well as in "human capital."
Toyota last month said it sold 11.1 million vehicles across all brands in fiscal 2023, up 5% and the first time the company had exceeded 10 million.
A big factor was a 31% jump in sales of hybrid vehicles — combining internal combustion engines and batteries
Toyota is however still aiming to sell 1.5 million EVs annually by 2026 and 3.5 million by 2030.

Toyota seems to be doing better than other Brands
They are not having a firesale to sell their vehicles like some EV Brands

No, the United Nations didn’t reduce the number of women and children killed in Gaza by half
Israeli officials incorrectly claimed the UN reduced the number of women and children deaths in Gaza. The UN actually changed what data is used in their reports.
The United Nations didn’t reduce the number of women and children killed in Gaza by half. The UN recently changed what kinds of data they are reporting about fatalities. The total number of fatalities is still at an estimated 35,000.
The UN’s report on May 8 did not include estimates, but the actual number of men, women, children, and elderly who had been killed. The report indicates that as of April 30, of the 34,844 total reported fatalities, 24,686 people have been identified. This is the new subset of data that didn't appear in the May 6 report, or any prior reports.
In the May 8th UN report, of those 24,686 killed and identified, 4,959 were women and 7,797 were children. This dataset does not include the roughly 10,000 people who are reported dead and have yet to be identified.

Has the UN really said fewer people were killed by Israel in Gaza?
I didn't claim they did, however its also true that numbers for women and children were revised down by thousands and that a third of the total numbers are from Gazan media sources or family phoning in, so totally unverified.
Still not revised down as you claim

Of course they were revised down. The numbers of women and children killed were revised down not a little but by thousands! The Hamas-run Government Media Office was lying and now the UN uses the Hamas-run health ministry. The total unverified deaths total remain the same however its now acknowledged that nearly third are taken from, deaths reported by family members and deaths from "reliable media reports" sop consequently without bodies or examination the gender cannot be verified. What are those media sources no one knows but the only media sources in Gaza are either Al Jazeera or local Gazan media.

Gaza war: Why is the UN citing lower death toll for women and children?
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-69014893
Has the UN really said fewer people were killed by Israel in Gaza?
No, is the short answer.
The UN confirmed this on Monday, when spokesperson Farhan Haq, responding to a question from Al Jazeera’s Gabriel Elizondo, said that the updated breakdown was only in reference to the smaller 24,686 death toll.
“There’s about another 10,000 plus bodies who still have to be fully identified, and so then the details of those – which of those are children, which of those are women – that will be reestablished once the full identification process is complete,
So as stated the numbers weren't revised down as they published the numbers from the subset figure of 24,686 which doesn't include the 10,000 plus bodies
and neither the total number or subset numbers include more than 10,000 reported missing or under the rubble”.

Eh , I stated that the Guardian are pro Palestinian and you stated it was Right wing nonsense to suggest that The Guardian are pro Hamas .
Two different things there , it is quite clear that the Guardian support the Palestinian cause , although I doubt that even they would publicly support the war criminal terror organisation which is Hamas .
But saying that , the Guardian do publish Hamas's untrue figures for deaths without questioning their validity .
In regards to this story , the Guardian are extremely pro Palestinian , they report this story as
UN denies Gaza death toll of women and children has been revised down
They don't seem to have reported the original claim that the figures have been revised down, just reported a denial (see above)
That's because the numbers were never revised down
They published total numbers and a subset of the total numbers with fully identified

Assuming the quality and design is good, uptake of EV’s is ALL about the price.
You have only to look at Thailand to see that.
The video Transam posted talks about America, EV’s carry a 30-50% premium over their ICE equivalents, very few people will pay that.
Applying 100% tariffs to Chinese EV’s allows American Automakers to not need to compete so they will continue to produce crappy, expensive EV’s and as a consequence EV transition will stall, maybe temporarily, maybe not.
Let’s see what happens.

BP announced plans in July to abandon its household and industrial rooftop solar activities to concentrate on the larger projects but said on December15 that even those were no longer viable.

As Khun LA has already posted, they are not Chinese. Can you tell us where you got your information from that they were Chinese? Or did you just make it up? Please tell as you just make yourself look stupid and possibly racist by making that up.
The anti-Chinese propaganda gets swallowed by the gullible, it is really quite pathetic, and you are one of the worst swallowers. I will retract that comment when you show me the information you read that says they were Chinese.
They were made by BP Solar (a subsidiary of BP - British Petroleum) by the way.
Racist nonsense. I just want to know if you made that up yourself or did someone else make it up and you just swallowed it. Pathetic, truly pathetic.BP closed its Solar business in 2011

And they issued a Product advisory in 2012
This product advisory is being issued to communicate a potential risk when using certain BP Solar modules in specific types of installations. Testing has shown there is a limited risk of cable to busbar disconnection in the junction box that, in rare cases, may lead to a thermal event in certain applications of the products referenced below.
