Trump refused to voluntarily make them public as presidents before him have done. …

Macron Lashes Out At United States Over Double Standard Energy Policies U.S. trade and energy policies have created a “double standard”, with Europe left paying higher prices for its natural gas, French President Emmanuel Macron said on Friday. France, the latest—and largest--country to withdraw from the Energy Charter Treaty, has switched from being a net exporter of energy last year, to being a net importer of energy this year, after problems with its nuclear fleet surfaced. To compensate for its declining nuclear fleet and Russia’s complete halt of natural gas shipments into the country, France has turned to the United States for LNG—only …

LTTE (Tamil Tigers) - Explained In 18 minutes by Indian Commando Military-themed episodes of The Ranveer Show are always well-received. In this episode, we present Major Abhay Sapru, one of the most eloquent military veterans I’ve had the pleasure of interacting with. Para-SF podcasts are something that always blows my mind. One thing that always outshines in such conversations is the killer special forces mindset. Commissioned in 1988, Abhay Sapru volunteered for the elite Special Forces. During his decade-long stint with the Indian Army, he served in areas like Sri Lanka, Kashmir, and the North-East of India. He currently works for a private bank and alongside,…

Source: https://academic.oup.com/book/5982/chapter/149349981 Abstract This chapter discusses the motives and legitimation of female cadres of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) joining the fight against the Sri Lankan government. Tamil young women were, among others, motivated by grievances against the treatment of the Tamil minority by the government, their experience of sexual and gender-based violence by Sinhalese soldiers and Indian peacekeepers, and a wish to avenge the death of relatives. They also wanted to escape a suppressive and conservative Tamil culture that forced them into arranged marriages. The heroism and sacrificial martyrdom cultivated …
