The port of Eilat in Israel has almost 0 ship arriving or leaving because of attacks by Yemeni forces

On top of massive economical losses of the war in Israel, the actions of the Yemeni forces have completely stopped all shipment in an out of the Israeli red sea port of #Eilat.

The Israeli economy is suffering, all transport from #Asia to Israel is now have to go around #Africa to avoid passing through the red sea and risk attack or hijacking.

Other than #Hamas and #PIJ, #Yemen military and #Hezbollah are the only groups who have pushed israel hardly that it's now begging US and UK to escalate their presence in the region and act on behalf of Israeli government.

This can cause an escalation of the war beyond the borders of Israel into a global war.

"Unexploded American bombs littered the Cambodian countryside, maiming and killing people for decades to come.

Many also say that another consequence of Nixon and Kissinger's bombing campaign was that it helped pave the way for one of the worst genocides of the 20th century. Around 1.7 million people died at the hands of the Pol Pot-led Khmer Rouge between 1975 and 1979 - almost a quarter of the population."

Eating Shaanxi noodles in #Xian. According to locals, what makes these giant #noodles special (that’s ONE noodle I’m picking up here!) is #Shaanxi wheat, which is grown for 6 months before harvest, resulting in flour with extra body. Soooo good. #KaiSilkRoad #China #Asia #travel #food

Custard apples or Seethaphal are a tropical fruit from South America. They are grown and eaten a lot in Asia too. The fruit is sweet and creamy when ripe. It tastes very nice when eaten raw or can be made in to ice cream too. We are slicing off the outer skin of the custard apple and collecting the kernels inside it. Do enjoy the asmr video with asmr sounds.

Dear people of my country India, please vote for Indian National Congress INC and Rahul Gandhi. The Congress people are Impartial and do not favor any particular group, religion or community.

A Secular Democratic Government by Congress will ensure National Security and the interests of Indians in India and abroad. The reputation of Indians will be Enhanced as Congress has a Modern outlook.

Save India, Vote for INC Indian National Congress.

Religion should not be used to grab power, wealth or property of others. Religion is a means of understanding God or our Creator and moving closer to him. Unfortunately people use religion as a tool to control others and build their own wealth by unscrupulous means. Do not encourage such people.

I'm in the #Humanities Commons instance, and we have free profiles like https://hcommons.org/members/stevemccartyinjapan that include a link to the old blue bird of Twitter, and members are increasingly leaving, so our admins at @hello might want to reconsider having that item in the next version of profiles.

What can I do with all this new free time besides taking contemplative hikes in Kyoto? I'm still looking for a wide range of informants and academic colleagues, as I should have big news on #international #collaboration in 2024. I'm looking for #friends in fields such as #online #education, #bilingualism, #language #teaching with #technology, #journalism, #interculturalcommunication, and #Asia.

A little positive reinforcement goes a long way!

I've been watching a number of experts speak about a possible #war with #China (mostly talks by Gray, Allison, Dalio, Varoufakis etc).

Looking at the #trends of #wealth & political/educational/tech/etc #health between the two countries, it's obvious that #USA can't win this, despite the declining demographics in China.

To avoid a war, or going #nuclear, I think US might need to give some concessions to China. I don't like that, but I don't see a good alternative.

Sorry been inactive past couple weeks. We grew too big for our servers and had to sort that out, in the meantime a lot of requests and reports ended up pending.

Hopefully everything is back on track now. If you guys need anything or want to get in touch off mastodon, email us at paktodon.asia@gmail.com
