World News@lemmy.world•Loaded Oil Tanker Reportedly Docks In Cuban Port Despite U.S. BlockadeEnglish
52·6 months agoWhat are they going to do with oil? Does Cuba have any working refineries? Ñico López is down due to a fire the other day. Hermanos Díaz refinery is entirely offline, retooling for capacity to refine heavier oil. It won’t be online again for months. The only other refinery I know is only does coking to produce non-fuel chemicals and lighter grade oil that’s fed back into Ñico López.

264·6 months agoIt depends how it is done. Instead of denials, it could be used to “approve without review” all the easy cases and then forward to a human all the rest. This would speed up approval for lots of situations and focus human effort on more difficult cases.

World News@lemmy.world•Fox News host suggests US ‘may have to burn a bridge’ with Denmark over GreenlandEnglish
3·8 months agoWe already have military bases in Greenland and I’m sure their government would be willing to let us do just about anything reasonable for us to do. The situation is adequate for defense and economic opportunities. This is about ego. I don’t want Greenland to be part of the US. I want them to do their thing and continue to be a great neighbor.

Firefox@lemmy.ml•I think nobody wants AI in Firefox, MozillaEnglish
1·9 months agoI’ll be honest, I do not know, but I’m always more worried about where it’ll end-up over where it is right now. Even if it is all local for now, it is a small tweak for that to change. Just a small decision by a few people and everything changes. I don’t have enough trust to believe that decision won’t be made.

World News@lemmy.world•U.S. deports dozens of migrants to Ukraine amid warEnglish
11·9 months agoUnless you are Russia, North Korea, China, or similarly aligned, it is in your interest that Ukrainian men be in Ukraine defending their country. If you are in Ukraine, it is in your interest that they be returned to fight. If you are on the front lines, you damn well have the expectation that they be made to join you on the front lines. It doesn’t matter what these men want. It matters what they will be made to do. And the pressure needs to be turned up to send them back to Ukraine to fight. Call it what you want but, in a just war, conscription is morally just, and pulling men back home to join in the defense of the county is morally just.

320·9 months agoImmigration lawyers have raised concerns that those deported to Ukraine could be conscripted to fight in the war.
They should be. This isn’t an optional or unjust war for Ukraine to fight. Every capable man should be returned so they can fight.

I agree. But, maybe, at some point, they settle on Kurds having a country that’s got zero overlap with Turkish land and in a place not strategically important to Turkey.
Edit: And we may see Azerbaijan enter the war and gain Azeri territory at the same time and I think Turkey would be very favorable to that end. So maybe they take a plus and a minus to even things out?
