There has been an attempt at a balancing act by USA and Europe, and while Europe has abandoned the idea, USA is keeping it.
The idea is that if Russia lose to much to quickly, it may destabilize Russia, and that could create a dangerous situation with the Russian nukes.
So USA was sort of in a Limbo, that Russia could not be allowed to win, but they couldn’t be allowed to lose and be destabilized either.

This idea however is becoming less and less popular in USA, and there is speculation that USA will soon lift these restrictions.

That’s disgusting while half the population live in poverty, It should simply not be allowed to have that much wealth anywhere.

he is basically of the same feather as Putin, both are authoritarians, which explains the hugging.

True.

You may be right, but I am not aware of the west taking sides between India and Pakistan, but I know there were borders decided by UK, that were not agreeable to both sides. Which AFAIK is the reason for the conflict between India and Pakistan.
UK was probably involved, because it was them that fucked up IDK? But there’s a huge difference between UK the colonial power 60 years ago, and Europe after EU, which has a mission for peace as a fundamental value and reason to be formed. As an example this was also the reason many EU countries did not join USA in the attack on Iraq.

Russia on the other hand, is now showing they may be even worse than the USSR. So zero progress under Communism, and 30 years of zero progress for Russia after Communism, while Europe has developed strong democratic values, that also aim to respect the rights and sovereignty of other countries outside the EU.

Again this has to be compared to Russia not only waging war, but threatening to use nukes, and risking all of humanity, if they don’t get their evil ways, this is IMO worse than when India was a colony of UK. Although I acknowledge there were atrocities against India that should never have happened, and were definitely very serious war crimes against Indias civil population.

OK I’ll grant that’s pretty horrible, maybe it seemed less so in history class, because complete inhumanity seemed more common back then?

OK AFAIK UK did not cause evacuation of more than 10% of the population, they didn’t bomb schools and kindergartens, or destroy infrastructure to a point to make areas unlivable, and bomb cities until there is nothing left, or explode dams flooding large inhabited areas and risking nuclear incidents. Or cause half a generation of young men to be lost.

But I admit my knowledge of the occupation of India is limited. And I 100% grant it was bad. But were conditions honestly worse than they would have been under the former rulers? I suppose there was a reason India was relatively easy for UK to take.
India had lots of problems before UK invaded, way more than Ukraine, and most Ukraines problems was from hostilities from Russia that preceded the war.

Fortunately UK ended up leaving India voluntarily, which is the opposite of what Russia is doing, Russia left Ukraine in 1991, but then turned around and invaded, despite Ukraine had done nothing to provoke this.

Clarence Thomas: The reason I took this trip to visit Putin in his home undisclosed, was of course so you shouldn’t find out.
You shouldn’t meddle in private matters, of who I’m gay with or not, or I’ll have you hanged.

Modi doesn’t have to embrace Putin for that, Putin is desperate and has to take what he can get.

Thanks, although that was a bit depressing, I was not aware he is this bad, and I checked other sources too.

I’m pretty confident that that’s the exact reason many Chinese car companies suddenly got very busy with exports.

Yes unfortunately it seems the right is getting more extreme almost everywhere.

I was not aware of that, in what sense?

The Christian alarmists claiming satanic blood sacrifices exist without evidence, is whataboutism to make people forget common Christian extreme practices, like not allowing abortion even in case of lethal danger to the mother.

Christianity needs to go, along with all other religions.

You can’t pray diseases away, this has been attempted for hundreds of years, and never been shown to work in even the slightest degree.
On the contrary there are indications that show people take longer to get well, or can even get MORE sick from it!

For instance this study:
https://www.nytimes.com/2006/03/31/health/longawaited-medical-study-questions-the-power-of-prayer.html

And later another study with similar results:

India is showing a terrible double standard, they are hesitant towards the west, because India was once a British colony.
That is understandable.
But to support and “embrace” Russia when they are doing the same even worse to Ukraine is a disgusting double standard.

Shame on you India, for not changing with the times. Russia is obviously the evil empire today, even threatening nuclear war that could destroy life on earth.

A classic example is a centrifugal governor, also known as the Watt or fly-ball governor

This describes an engine revving governor, exactly as it sounds like, such a mechanism will not limit the speed of a car, but limit the revolutions on the engine. Probably to prevent damage to the engine.

An obvious MAGA lie to fake whataboutism.
Republicans truly are the enemy of Democracy. Destroying it with lies gaslighting and oppression.
USA is losing the information age.

All the dirt apparently only helps him to look big and strong in the eyes of the MAGA crowd.

I know most Mercedes cars have had speed limiters for many years, but those were traditionally at 250 km/h.
An engine governor sounds more like preventing revving it to high.

This sounds like blown up bullshit.
How does this speed limiter work exactly, I don’t see that mentioned anywhere.
If I drive Autobahn it’s not the same as driving passed a school in the city. How does the speed limiter know the speed limit?
To know that accurately, sounds like a somewhat expensive mandatory piece of equipment.
And how come I have heard absolutely zero about this from either car reviewers or local news media?

I looked it up for my country (Denmark), these are NOT mandatory that I can find, and they can ONLY be installed by public authorized shops, and from the paperwork required, it seems like the installer decides the limit, there are no mandatory limits.

So it seems like the whole story is bullshit.

EDIT:

https://road-safety-charter.ec.europa.eu/resources-knowledge/media-and-press/intelligent-speed-assistance-isa-set-become-mandatory-across

Intelligent speed assistance seems to be a thing, but this is a pretty crucial part:

The ISA system is required to work with the driver and not to restrict his/her possibility to act in any moment during driving. The driver is always in control and can easily override the ISA system.

From the OP the Guardian article:

Drivers of most new cars will be familiar with similar features already installed, but they are currently easy to override.

Yes and that’s how it will continue to be with Intelligent speed assistance.

Article is bullshit these are NOT speed limiters, which is a completely different thing, despite that I can see numerous articles in English erroneously calling this speed limiters, when it’s nothing of the sort.

Otherwise, what’s an ACTUAL speed limiter called? You know like what is popular in many new cars, that have speed limiters that prevent you from driving faster than for instance 160 km/h.
