China executes a former top government official for embezzling over 1.437 billion yuan. On RT Comments: "If US had laws like this, the entire US congress, I believe, would have been put down long ago," and, "The US would have no government if the same policy would be carried out in the US."
Execution For Extensive Embezzlement
‘The 64-year-old Li Jianping had initially been sentenced to death in September 2022 after authorities found he had leveraged his position as a state employee to embezzle funds. […] The top court verified that Li misused over 1.437 billion yuan ($197 million) from state-owned company funds “through deceptive means,” of which more than 289 million yuan ($39.6 million) has yet to be recovered.’

Nuclear war may be good for evolution???

‘“Nuclear war is good,” he told the station, named after a Turkish-made attack drone. “When it happens, we’ll have no more reasons to whine. Nothing worse could happen after a nuclear strike.” Countries like India and China would turn against Moscow, Karas argued, adding that nuclear fallout in Ukraine may even be good for evolution. “A nuclear war may help us evolve in a way that we could see through an official and tell whether he is a thief or not.” Karas claimed that the November release of the video game ‘S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chernobyl’, which was developed in Ukraine, has prepared the country for a nuclear war. The country will come through a nuclear crisis and make a leap forward in technology, producing artificial intelligence and advanced robots, Karas believes.’ What is this logic???

Professor Norman Finkelstein: I have hesitated thus far to sound the alarm. But at the risk of being thought mad, it must, as an act of political responsibility, be said out loud: Israel is hurling toward the precipice and dragging the rest of the world with it?
A rational analysis of the current predicament must begin with this bedrock fact: Israel is a crazy state. Not a “bad actor.” Not a “rogue” regime. A crazy state. The full range of Israeli elite opinion, itself reflective of Israeli society at large (which overwhelmingly supports the genocidal war in Gaza; only a handful of Israelis have refused to serve), spans a mere flea’s hop.
