Every day I hear news about the BRI, it brings me hope. The US will stop destroying the world.

Wikipedia article on China’s BRI: Long text about treaties signed, infrastructure built and planned as well as some of the trouble that is clubs to arise along the way of such a big project. Includes a map of said infrastructure.

Wikipedia article on the Free and Open Something Pacific Something, the US’ counter-initiative to the BRI: A few paragraphs about how American bureaucrats have written a paper about how “free” and “open” should be understood. Includes a map showing where the Pacific is.

I thought the US counter-initiative was called the Build Back Better Extended Universe or something

There have been more than 10 western alternatives to the BRI, and so far none of them have gotten off the ground

That’s the other initiative but president Joe Mansion would give them any money to buy a map.

This is honestly my only major inkling. I know it leads to lots of infrastructure aid and trade income but it needs to be funneled properly. Here’s hoping the BRI can aid in Syria repairing itself from the predations by the US

Genuine question; is the Civil war winding down in Syria? Because I’ve stopped hearing anything about it, and it seems that Assad is still in power, or at the very least has his government propped up enough that they can still fight, despite being sanctioned by most the worlds nations.

Yeah the actual fighting is significantly less bad than it was a few years ago. Situation is still awful tho, manually because of the “new” (2 years old now I think?) sanctions
